ARTICLE 2 - DEMISE AND TERM

2.01. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby hires from Landlord,
the Demised Premises, for the Term. This Lease is subject to (a) any and all
existing encumbrances, conditions, rights, covenants, easements, restrictions
and rights of way, of record, and other matters of record, applicable zoning and
building laws, regulations and codes, and such matters as may be disclosed by an
inspection or survey, and (b) easements now or hereafter created by Landlord in,
under, over, across and upon the Land for sewer, water, electric, gas and other
utility lines and services now or hereafter installed; provided, however,
Landlord represents to Tenant that the Demised Premises may be used and occupied
for the Permitted Uses contemplated herein.

ARTICLE 3 - RENT

3.01. Tenant shall pay the Fixed Rent in equal monthly installments in advance
on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term. If the
Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first day of a calendar month,
the Fixed Rent for the partial calendar month at the commencement of the Term
shall be prorated.

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.02. The Rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United States to Landlord at
its office, or such other place, or Landlord’s agent, as Landlord shall
designate by notice to Tenant. Tenant shall pay the Rent promptly when due
without notice or demand therefor and without any abatement, deduction or setoff
for any reason whatsoever, except as may be expressly provided in this Lease. If
Tenant makes any payment to Landlord by check, same shall be by check of Tenant
and Landlord shall not be required to accept the check of any other Person, and
any check received by Landlord shall be deemed received subject to collection.
If any check is mailed by Tenant, Tenant shall post such check in sufficient
time prior to the date when payment is due so that such check will be received
by Landlord on or before the date when payment is due. Tenant shall assume the
risk of lateness or failure of delivery of the mails, and no lateness or failure
of the mails will excuse Tenant from its obligation to have made the payment in
question when required under this Lease.

3.03. No payment by Tenant or receipt or acceptance by Landlord of a lesser
amount than the correct Rent shall be deemed to be other than a payment on
account, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter
accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and
Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right
to recover the balance or pursue any other remedy in this Lease or at law
provided.

3.04. If Tenant is in arrears in payment of Rent, Tenant waives Tenant’s right,
if any, to designate the items to which any payments made by Tenant are to be
credited, and Landlord may apply any payments made by Tenant to such items as
Landlord sees fit, irrespective of and notwithstanding any designation or
request by Tenant as to the items to which any such payments shall be credited.

3.05. In the event that any installment of Rent due hereunder shall be overdue
for five (5) days or more, a “Late Charge” equal to four percent (4%) or the
maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less for Rent so overdue may be
charged by Landlord for each month or part thereof that the same remains overdue
(“Late Payment Rate”).  In the event that any check tendered by Tenant to
Landlord is returned for insufficient funds, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in
addition to the charge imposed by the preceding sentence, a fee of $50.00. Any
such Late Charges if not previously paid shall, at the option of the Landlord,
be added to and become part of the next succeeding Rent payment to be made
hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, as to the
original named Tenant and any Permitted Assignee(s) (as that term is defined in
Article 11.02 hereinbelow), the Late Charge shall be waived once per Calendar
Year provided payment is received by Landlord within ten (10) days of its due
date.

4.01. Tenant shall use and occupy the Demised Premises for the Permitted Uses,
and Tenant shall not use or permit or suffer the use of the Demised Premises or
any part thereof for any other purpose.

4.02. If any governmental license or permit, including a certificate of
occupancy or certificate of continued occupancy (a “Certificate of Occupancy”)

Demised Premises or any part thereof, Tenant shall

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

duly procure and thereafter maintain such license or permit and submit the same
to Landlord for inspection. Tenant shall at all times comply with the terms and
conditions of each such license or permit. Tenant shall not at any time use or
occupy, or suffer or permit anyone to use or occupy the Demised Premises, or do
or permit anything to be done in the Demised Premises, in any manner which
(a) violates the Certificate of Occupancy for the Demised Premises or for the
Building; (b) causes or is liable to cause injury to the Building or any
equipment, facilities or systems therein; (c) constitutes a violation of the
Legal Requirements or Insurance Requirements; (d) impairs or tends to impair the
character, reputation or appearance of the Building; (e) impairs or tends to
impair the proper and economic maintenance, operation and repair of the Building
and/or its equipment, facilities or systems; or (f) annoys or inconveniences or
tends to annoy or inconvenience other tenants or occupants of the Building.

4.03. Tenant shall not conduct any warehouse sale at the Demised Premises
without Landlord’s prior written consent. Provided Tenant is not in default of
its obligations under this Lease, Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold
its consent to not more than three (3) warehouse sales in any consecutive twelve
(12) month period. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as an Additional Charge, an
amount equal to five percent (5%) of Gross Receipts (as hereinafter defined) 
from any warehouse sale conducted at the Demised Premises, payable within
fifteen (15) days after the warehouse sale. Tenant shall comply, at Tenant’s
sole cost and expense with all Legal Requirements with respect to any warehouse
sale. Any warehouse sale conducted by Tenant shall be not more than four
(4) consecutive days in duration. As used herein, Gross Receipts shall mean the
dollar aggregate of: (a) the actual sales price of all goods and merchandise
sold, leased or licensed and the charges for all services performed by Tenant or
otherwise in connection with all business conducted at such warehouse sale,
whether made for cash, by check, credit or otherwise, without reserve or
deduction for inability or failure to collect the same, including, without
limitation, sales and services (i) where the orders therefor originate at or are
accepted at or from the Demised Premises, whether delivery or performance
thereof is made at or from the Demised Premises or any other place, it being
understood that all sales made and orders received at or from the Demised
Premises shall be deemed to have been made and completed therein even though the
orders are fulfilled elsewhere or the payments of account are transferred to
some other office for collection, and (ii) where the orders therefor result from
solicitation off the Demised Premises but which are conducted by personnel
operating from or reporting to or under the control or supervision of any person
at the Demised Premises, and (b) all monies or other things of value received by
Tenant from its warehouse sale at the Demised Premises including all finance
charges, cost of gift or merchan­dise certificates and all deposits not refunded
to customers.  For purposes of this paragraph, the word “Tenant” shall include
any of Tenant’s subtenants, concessionaires and licens­ees.

ARTICLE 5 - PREPARATION OF DEMISED PREMISES

the Building as more particularly described in, and subject to the provisions
of, Exhibit C annexed hereto.

5.01.(a)(i)  Landlord shall deliver the Demised Premises to Tenant in “AS IS”
condition. Tenant shall occupy the Demised Premises upon the Commencement Date
of the Lease. Except as

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, the taking of possession by
Tenant of the Demised Premises shall be conclusive evidence as against Tenant
that the Demised Premises and the Building were in good and satisfactory
condition at the time such possession was taken.

5.01.(b)(i) Tenant shall be responsible for all construction and work to prepare
the Demised Premises for Tenant’s occupancy at Tenant’s cost and expense. Such
construction shall be in accordance with Section 39.09 of this Lease. Prior to
performing any work in the Demised Premises, Tenant shall, within thirty (30)
days of the date thereof submit to Landlord for approval final plans and
specifications for all construction work in the Demised Premises including, but
not limited to layout, mechanical, electrical and plumbing plans and finish
schedules (“Plans and Specifications”). Tenant shall employ licensed
architect(s) and/or engineer(s) for the preparation of the Plans and
Specifications. Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s approval or
disapproval of such Plans and Specifications within fifteen (15) days after
receipt thereof. If Landlord disapproves, Landlord shall specify the reasons for
disapproval and Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice of
Landlord’s disapproval, resubmit revised Plans and Specifications that correct
such items. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if
Landlord has not responded to Tenant’s submission of the Plans and
Specifications within twenty (20) business days of Landlord’s receipt thereof,
Tenant’s Plans and Specifications so submitted shall be deemed approved.

(ii)           Tenant shall obtain and provide all design and architectural
services necessary to perform Tenant’s Work and shall be responsible for
complying with all building codes and Legal Requirements in connection with
Tenant’s Work, prior to commencing any work in the Demised Premises. Tenant
shall obtain a permanent certificate of occupancy of the Demised Premises for
the Permitted Uses. The construction of the Demised Premises shall be performed
in a first class workmanlike manner. At all times when construction of the
Demised Premises is in progress and prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall
maintain or cause to be maintained the insurance coverage required under
Section 13.02.

(iii)          Tenant shall be solely responsible for the structural integrity
of the improvements and for the adequacy or sufficiency of the Plans and
Specifications and all the improvements depicted thereon or covered thereby, and
Landlord’s consent thereto, approval thereof, or incorporation therein of any of
its recommendations shall in no way diminish Tenant’s responsibility therefor or
reduce or mitigate Tenant’s liability in connection therewith. Landlord shall
have no obligations or liabilities by reason of this Lease in connections with
the performance of construction or of the finish, decorating or installation
work performed by Tenant, or on its behalf, or in connection with the contracts
for the performance thereof entered into by Tenant. Any warranties extended or
available to Tenant in connection with the aforesaid work shall be for the
benefit also of Landlord. Tenant further agrees that once it commences
construction, it shall diligently and continuously proceed with construction to
completion.

5.02. Intentionally omitted.

5.03. Intentionally omitted.

 

10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.04. Landlord reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to
increase, reduce or change the number, type, size, location, elevation, nature
and use of any of the Common Areas and the Building and any other buildings and
other improvements on the Land, including, without limitation, the right to move
and/or remove same, provided same shall not unreasonably block or interfere with
Tenant’s means of ingress or egress to and from the Demised Premises.

ARTICLE 6 - TAX AND OPERATING EXPENSE PAYMENTS

6.01. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as hereinafter provided, Tenant’s Fraction
of the Real Estate Taxes. Tenant’s Fraction of the Real Estate Taxes shall be
the Real Estate Taxes in respect of the Building for the period in question,
multiplied by the Tenant’s Fraction, plus the Real Estate Taxes in respect of
the Land for the period in question, multiplied by the Tenant’s  Fraction. If
any portion of the Building shall be exempt from all or any part of the Real
Estate Taxes, then for the period of time when such exemption is in effect, the
Floor Space on such exempt portion shall be excluded when making the above
computations in respect of the part of the Real Estate Taxes for which such
portion shall be exempt. Landlord shall estimate the annual amount of Tenant’s
Fraction of the Real Estate Taxes (which estimate may be changed by Landlord at
any time and from time to time), and Tenant shall pay to Landlord 1/12th of the
amount so estimated on the first day of each month in advance. Tenant shall also
pay to Landlord on demand from time to time the amount which, together with said
monthly installments, will be sufficient in Landlord’s estimation to pay
Tenant’s Fraction of any Real Estate Taxes thirty (30) days prior to the date
when such Real Estate Taxes shall first become due. When the amount of any item
comprising Real Estate Taxes is finally determined for a real estate fiscal tax
year, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a statement in reasonable detail of the
same, and the figures used for computing Tenant’s Fraction of the same, and if
Tenant’s Fraction so stated is more or less than the amount theretofore paid by
Tenant for such item based on Landlord’s estimate, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
the deficiency within ten (10) days after submission of such statement, or
Landlord shall, at its sole election, either refund to Tenant the excess or
apply same to future installments of Real Estate Taxes due hereunder. Any Real
Estate Taxes for a real estate fiscal tax year, a part of which is included
within the Term and a part of which is not so included, shall be apportioned on
the basis of the number of days in the real estate fiscal tax year included in
the Term, and the real estate fiscal tax year for any improvement assessment
will be deemed to be the one-year period commencing on the date when such
assessment is due, except that if any improvement assessment is payable in
installments, the real estate fiscal tax year for each installment will be
deemed to be the one-year period commencing on the date when such installment is
due. The above computations shall be made by Landlord in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and the Floor Space referred to will
be based upon the average of the Floor Space in existence on the first day of
each month during the period in question. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant
shall be responsible for any increase in Real Estate Taxes attributable to
assessments for improvements installed by or for the account of Tenant at the
Demised Premises. If the Demised Premises are not separately assessed, the
amount of any such increase shall be determined by reference to the records of
the tax assessor.

6.02. Real Estate Taxes, whether or not a lien upon the Demised Premises shall
be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant at the beginning and end of the Term;
it being intended

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

that Tenant shall pay only that portion of the Real Estate Taxes as is allocable
to the Demised Premises for the Term.

6.03. Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Fraction of the Operating Expenses
within ten (10) days after Landlord submits to Tenant an invoice for same (which
invoice shall be accompanied by back-up documentation in support of such
charges).

6.04. Each such statement given by Landlord pursuant to Section 6.01 or
Section 6.03 shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless within sixty
(60) days after the receipt of such statement Tenant shall notify Landlord that
it disputes the correctness of the statement, specifying the particular respects
in which the statement is claimed to be incorrect. If such dispute is not
settled by agreement, either party may submit the dispute to arbitration or
other dispute resolution mechanism. Pending the determination of such dispute by
agreement or otherwise, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of such
statement, pay the Additional Charges in accordance with Landlord’s statement,
without prejudice to Tenant’s position. If the dispute shall be determined in
Tenant’s favor, Landlord shall forthwith pay to Tenant the amount of Tenant’s
overpayment resulting from compliance with Landlord’s statement. In the event it
is determined that the Tenant’s overpayment exceeds the amount Landlord should
have properly billed Tenant by more than ten percent (10%), then Landlord shall
pay Tenant such overpayment with interest thereon at the Late Payment Rate from
the date Tenant actually paid Landlord such overpayment.

ARTICLE 7 - COMMON AREAS

7.01. Except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease and so long as
Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond the applicable cure period, 
Landlord will operate, manage, equip, light, repair and maintain, or cause to be
operated, managed, equipped, lighted, repaired and maintained, the Common Areas
for their intended purposes. Landlord reserves the right, at any time and from
time to time, to construct within the Common Areas kiosks, fountains, aquariums,
planters, pools and sculptures, and to install vending machines, telephone
booths, benches and the like, provided same shall not block or interfere with
Tenant’s means of ingress or egress to and from the Demised Premises or
otherwise interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Demised Premises for
the Permitted Uses.

7.02. So long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond the applicable
cure period, Tenant and its subtenants and concessionaires, and their respective
officers, employees, agents, customers and invitees, shall have the
non-exclusive right, in common with Landlord and all others to whom Landlord has
granted or may hereafter grant such right, but subject to the Rules and
Regulations, to use the Common Areas. Landlord reserves the right, at any time
and from time to time, but upon reasonable prior notice to Tenant (except in the
event of an emergency), to close temporarily all or any portions of the Common
Areas when in Landlord’s reasonable judgment any such closing is necessary or
desirable (a) to make repairs or changes or to effect construction, (b) to
prevent the acquisition of public rights in such areas, (c) to discourage
unauthorized parking, or (d) to protect or preserve natural persons or property.
Landlord may do such other acts in and to the Common Areas as in its judgment
may be desirable to improve or maintain same. Landlord agrees to exercise its
rights under this Article 7.02 in such a manner so as to minimize any
interference

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

with Tenant’s means of ingress and egress to and from the Demised Premises as
well as Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Demised Premises for the Permitted
Uses.

7.03. Tenant agrees that it, any subtenant or licensee and their respective
officers, employees, contractors and agents will park their automobiles and
other vehicles only where and as permitted by Landlord.

ARTICLE 8 - SECURITY

8.01. (a) In the event Tenant deposits with Landlord any Security Deposit, the
same shall be held as security for the full and faithful payment and performance
by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. If Tenant defaults in the
full and prompt payment and performance of any of its obligations under this
Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, including, without
limitation, the payment of Rent, Landlord may use, apply or retain the whole or
any part of the Security Deposit to the extent required for the payment of any
Rent or any other sums as to which Tenant is in default or for any sum which
Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Tenant’s default
in respect of any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, including, without
limitation, any damages or deficiency in the reletting of the Demised Premises,
whether such damages or deficiency accrue before or after summary proceedings or
other re-entry by Landlord. If Landlord shall so use, apply or retain the whole
or any part of the security, Tenant shall upon demand immediately deposit with
Landlord a sum equal to the amount so used, applied and retained, as security as
aforesaid. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully pay and perform all of Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof to
which Tenant is entitled shall be returned or paid over to Tenant after the date
on which this Lease shall expire or sooner end or terminate, and after delivery
to Landlord of entire possession of the Demised Premises. In the event of any
sale or leasing of the Land, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the
security to which Tenant is entitled to the vendee or lessee and Landlord shall
thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return or payment
thereof; and Tenant shall look solely to the new landlord for the return or
payment of the same; and the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or
assignment made of the same to a new landlord. Tenant shall not assign or
encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the monies deposited herein as
security, and neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by
any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.

8.01(b). In lieu of the cash security required by this Lease, Tenant shall
provide to Landlord an irrevocable transferable Letter of Credit in the amount
of the Security Deposit in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord and
issued by a financial institution approved by Landlord. Landlord shall have the
right, upon written notice to Tenant (except that for Tenant’s non-payment of
Rent or for Tenant’s failure to comply with Article 8.03, no such notice shall
be required) and regardless of the exercise of any other remedy the Landlord may
have by reason of a default, to draw upon said Letter of Credit to cure any
default of Tenant or for any purpose authorized by section 8.01(a) of this Lease
and if Landlord does so, Tenant shall, upon demand, additionally fund the Letter
of Credit with the amount so drawn so that Landlord shall have the full deposit
on hand at all times during the Term of the Lease and for a period of thirty
(30) days’ thereafter. In the event

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of a sale of the Building or a lease of the Building subject to this Lease,
Landlord shall have the right to transfer the security to the vendee or lessee.

8.02. The Letter of Credit shall expire not earlier than thirty (30) days after
the Expiration Date of this Lease. Upon Landlord’s prior consent, the Letter of
Credit may be of the type which is automatically renewed on an annual basis
(Annual Renewal Date), provided however, in such event Tenant shall maintain the
Letter of Credit and its renewals in full force and effect during the entire
Term of this Lease (including any renewals or extensions) and for a period of
thirty (30) days thereafter. The Letter of Credit will contain a provision
requiring the issuer thereof to give the beneficiary (Landlord) sixty (60) days’
advance written notice of its intention not to renew the Letter of Credit on the
next Annual Renewal Date.

8.03. In the event Tenant shall fail to deliver to Landlord a substitute
irrevocable Letter of Credit, in the amount stated above, on or before thirty
(30) days prior to the next Annual Renewal Date, said failure shall be deemed a
default under this Lease. Landlord may, in its discretion treat this the same as
a default in the payment of Rent or any other default and pursue the appropriate
remedy. In addition, and not in limitation, Landlord shall be permitted to draw
upon the Letter of Credit as in the case of any other default by Tenant under
the Lease.

ARTICLE 9 - SUBORDINATION

9.01. (a)  This Lease, and all rights of Tenant hereunder, are and shall be
subject and subordinate to all ground leases and underlying leases of the Land
and/or the Building now or hereafter existing and to all Mortgages which may now
or hereafter affect the Land and/or building and/or any of such leases, whether
or not such Mortgages or leases shall also cover other lands and/or buildings,
to each and every advance made or hereafter to be made under such Mortgages, and
to all renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions of such leases and
such Mortgages and spreaders and consolidations of such Mortgages. The
provisions of this Section 9.01 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
instrument that Landlord, the lessor under any such lease or the Mortgagee of
any such Mortgage or any of their respective successors in interest may
reasonably request to evidence such subordination.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Lease shall
be contingent upon Landlord obtaining for Tenant a Non-Disturbance,
Subordination, and Attornment Agreement from the holder of the existing first
mortgage, Thrivent Financial For Lutherans (which is the only existing mortgage
encumbering the Demised Premises as of the date hereof) on the Demised Premises
on such mortgagee’s standard form (the “Initial SNDA”) which Tenant shall
promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver to evidence such subordination,
non-disturbance and attornment. Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate in all
respects with each other and such mortgagee in order to obtain the Initial SNDA
in an expeditious manner, and shall provide any information reasonably required
by such mortgagee. Landlord shall not be required to use anything other than
reasonable efforts nor shall Landlord be required to institute any legal action
or proceeding, in order to obtain said agreement. If Thrivent Financial For
Lutherans fails to approve or expressly disapproves of this Lease or fails to
agree or expressly refuses or declines to deliver or

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

enter into such Initial SNDA, by the date which is forty-five (45) days from the
date of full execution and delivery of this Lease, then, in such event, either
Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written
notice to the other given no later than the date which is fifty (50) days from
the date of full execution and deliver of this Lease. In the event that this
Lease is terminated in accordance with the foregoing, the Security Deposit shall
be promptly returned to Tenant, and the rights and obligations of each party
hereunder and this Lease shall be deemed null and void and without force and
effect. In the event Tenant fails to exercise its right to cancel this Lease in
accordance with the foregoing, Tenant’s right to cancel shall be deemed null and
void. Landlord shall not be obligated to commence any Landlord’s Work until the
contingencies set forth in this Paragraph 9.01 have been fully satisfied or
waived. This Lease shall be subordinate to future ground leases or mortgages
only on the condition that Landlord shall obtain from any such future mortgagee
and/or ground lessor a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement
with respect to this Lease on such mortgagee’s standard form. In the event
Tenant exercises Tenant’s right to terminate this Lease in accordance with this
Article 9.01(b), then the Lease Termination Agreements executed by and between
Landlord’s Affiliate, Hartz Mountain Associates and Tenant with respect to the
900 Secaucus Road Lease and the 915 Secaucus Road Lease shall be rescinded and
rendered null and void and the 900 Secaucus Lease and the 915 Secaucus Road
Lease shall be deemed in full force and effect. The parties shall execute such
documentation as is reasonably necessary to memorialize the validity of the 900
Secaucus Road Lease and the 915 Secaucus Road Lease upon request of either
party.

9.02. If any act or omission of Landlord would give Tenant the right,
immediately or after lapse of a period of time, to cancel or terminate this
Lease, or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant shall not exercise such
right (a) until it has given written notice of such act or omission to Landlord
and each Superior Mortgagee and each Superior Lessor whose name and address
shall previously have been furnished to Tenant, and (b) until a reasonable
period for remedying such act or omission shall have elapsed following the
giving of such notice and following the time when such Superior Mortgagee or
Superior Lessor shall have become entitled under such Superior Mortgage or
Superior Lease, as the case may be, to remedy the same (which reasonable period
shall in no event be less than the period to which Landlord would be entitled
under this Lease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy),
provided such Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor shall with due diligence
give Tenant notice of intention to, and commence and continue to, remedy such
act or omission.

9.03. If any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee shall succeed to the rights
of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action
or delivery of a new lease or deed, then at the request of such party so
succeeding to Landlord’s rights (“Successor Landlord”) and upon such Successor
Landlord’s written agreement to accept Tenant’s attornment, Tenant shall 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; (c) be liable
for the return of any Security Deposit, in whole or in part, to the extent that

15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

same is not paid over to the Successor Landlord; or (d) be bound by any previous
modification of this Lease or by any previous prepayment of more than one
month’s Fixed Rent or Additional Charges, unless such modification or prepayment
shall have been expressly approved in writing by the Superior Lessor of the
Superior Lease or the Mortgagee of the Superior Mortgage through or by reason of
which the Successor Landlord shall have succeeded to the rights of Landlord
under this Lease.

9.04. If any then present or prospective Superior Mortgagee shall require any
modification(s) of this Lease, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver to
Landlord such instruments effecting such modification(s) as Landlord shall
request, provided that such modification(s) do not adversely affect in any
material respect any of Tenant’s rights under this Lease.

ARTICLE 10 - QUIET ENJOYMENT

10.01. So long as Tenant pays all of the Rent and performs all of Tenant’s other
obligations hereunder, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy
the Demised Premises without hindrance, ejection or molestation by Landlord or
any person lawfully claiming through or under Landlord, subject, nevertheless,
to the provisions of this Lease and to Superior Leases and Superior Mortgages.

ARTICLE 11 - ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING AND MORTGAGING

11.01. Tenant shall not, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of
law or otherwise, (a) assign or otherwise transfer this Lease, or offer or
advertise to do so, (b) sublet the Demised Premises or any part thereof, or
offer or advertise to do so, or allow the same to be used, occupied or utilized
by anyone other than Tenant, or (c) mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise
hypothecate this Lease in any manner whatsoever, without in each instance
obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord.

Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold its consent to the subletting of
the Demised Premises or an assignment of this Lease. In determining
reasonableness, Landlord may take into consideration all relevant factors
surrounding the proposed sublease and assignment, including, without limitation,
the following: (i) The business reputation of the proposed assignee or subtenant
and its officers or directors in relation to the other tenants or occupants of
the Building or Development; (ii) the nature of the business and the proposed
use of the Demised Premises by the proposed assignee or subtenant in relation to
the other tenants or occupants of the Building or Development; (iii) whether the
proposed assignee or subtenant  is then a tenant (or subsidiary, affiliate or
parent of a tenant) of other space in the Building or Development, or any other
property owned or managed by Landlord or its affiliates; (iv) the financial
condition of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (v) restrictions, if any,
contained in leases or other agreements affecting the Building and the
Development; (vi) the effect that the proposed assignee’s or subtenant’s
occupancy or use of the Demised Premises would have upon the operation and
maintenance of the Building and the Development; (vii) the extent to which the
proposed assignee or subtenant and Tenant provide Landlord with assurances
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord as to the satisfaction of

16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tenant’s obligations hereunder. In any event, at no time shall there be more
than two (2) subtenants of the Demised Premises permitted.

11.02. If at any time (a) the original Tenant named herein, (b) the then Tenant,
(c) any Guarantor, or (d) any Person owning a majority of the voting stock of,
or directly or indirectly controlling, the then Tenant shall be a corporation or
partnership, any transfer of voting stock or partnership interest resulting in
the person(s) who shall have owned a majority of such corporation’s shares of
voting stock or the general partners’ interest in such partnership, as the case
may be, immediately before such transfer, ceasing to own a majority of such
shares of voting stock or general partner’s interest, as the case may be, except
as the result of transfers by inheritance, shall be deemed to be an assignment
of this Lease as to which Landlord’s consent shall have been required, and in
any such event Tenant shall notify Landlord. The provisions of this
Section 11.02 shall not be applicable to any corporation all the outstanding
voting stock of which is listed on a national securities exchange (as defined in
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) or is traded in the
over-the-counter market with quotations reported by the National Association of
Securities Dealers through its automated system for reporting quotations and
shall not apply to transactions with a corporation into or with which the then
Tenant is merged or consolidated or to which substantially all of the then
Tenant’s assets are transferred or to any corporation which controls or is
controlled by the then Tenant or is under common control with the then Tenant,
provided that in any of such events (i) the successor to Tenant has a net worth
computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles at least
equal to the greater of (1) the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such
merger, consolidation or transfer, or (2) the net worth of the original Tenant
on the date of this Lease, and (ii) proof satisfactory to Landlord of such net
worth shall have been delivered to Landlord at least 10 days prior to the
effective date of any such transaction (the entities referenced in this
preceding sentence shall sometimes be referred to collectively as “Permitted
Assignees” and individually as a “Permitted Assignee”). For the purposes of this
Section, the words “voting stock” shall refer to shares of stock regularly
entitled to vote for the election of directors of the corporation. Landlord
shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the Term to
inspect the stock record books of the corporation to which the provisions of
this Section 11.02 apply, and Tenant will produce the same on request of
Landlord.

11.03. If this Lease is assigned, whether or not in violation of this Lease,
Landlord may collect rent from the assignee. If the Demised Premises or any part
thereof are sublet or used or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, whether or
not in violation of this Lease, Landlord may, after default by Tenant, and
expiration of Tenant’s time to cure such default, collect rent from the
subtenant or occupant. In either event, Landlord may apply the net amount
collected to the Rent, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or
collection shall be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of Section 11.01 or
Section 11.02, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as
tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance by Tenant of Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease. The consent by Landlord to any assignment,
mortgaging, subletting or use or occupancy by others shall not in any way be
considered to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express written consent of
Landlord to any other or further assignment, mortgaging or subletting or use or
occupancy by others not expressly permitted by this Article 11. References in
this Lease to use or occupancy by others (that is, anyone other than Tenant)
shall not be construed as limited to subtenants and those claiming under or
through subtenants but shall be construed as including also licensees and others
claiming under or through Tenant, immediately or remotely.

17

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11.04. Any permitted assignment or transfer, whether made with Landlord’s
consent pursuant to Section 11.01 or without Landlord’s consent if permitted by
Section 11.02, shall be made only if, and shall not be effective until, the
assignee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an agreement in form
and substance satisfactory to Landlord whereby the assignee shall assume
Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and whereby the assignee shall agree that
all of the provisions in this Article 11 shall, notwithstanding such assignment
or transfer, continue to be binding upon it in respect to all future assignments
and transfers. Notwithstanding any assignment or transfer, whether or not in
violation of the provisions of this Lease, and notwithstanding the acceptance of
Rent by Landlord from an assignee, transferee, or any other party, the original
Tenant and any other person(s) who at any time was or were Tenant shall remain
fully liable for the payment of the Rent and for Tenant’s other obligations
under this Lease.

11.05. The liability of the original named Tenant and any other
Person(s) (including but not limited to any Guarantor) who at any time are or
become responsible for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall not be
discharged, released or impaired by any agreement or stipulation made by
Landlord extending the time of, or modifying any of the terms or obligations
under this Lease, or by any waiver or failure of Landlord to enforce, any of
this Lease.

11.06. The listing of any name other than that of Tenant, whether on the doors
of the Demised Premises or the Building directory, or otherwise, shall not
operate to vest any right or interest in this Lease or in the Demised Premises,
nor shall it be deemed to be the consent of Landlord to any assignment or
transfer of this Lease or to any sublease of the Demised Premises or to the use
or occupancy thereof by others. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease
to the contrary, Landlord shall have the absolute right to withhold its consent
to an assignment or subletting to a Person who is otherwise a tenant or occupant
of the Building, or of a building owned or managed by Landlord or its affiliated
entities.

11.07. Without limiting any of the provisions of Article 27, if pursuant to the
Federal Bankruptcy Code (or any similar law hereafter enacted having the same
general purpose), Tenant is permitted to assign this Lease notwithstanding the
restrictions contained in this Lease, adequate assurance of future performance
by an assignee expressly permitted under such Code shall be deemed to mean the
deposit of cash security in an amount equal to the sum of one (1) year’s Fixed
Rent plus an amount equal to the Additional Charges for the Calendar Year
preceding the year in which such assignment is intended to become effective,
which deposit shall be held by Landlord for the balance of the Term, without
interest, as security for the full performance of all of Tenant’s obligations
under this Lease, to be held and applied in the manner specified for security in
Article 8. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary,
Landlord shall not be obligated to entertain or consider any request by Tenant
to consent to any proposed assignment of this Lease or sublet of all or any part
of the Demised Premises unless each request by Tenant is accompanied by a
non-refundable fee payable to Landlord in the amount of One Thousand Dollars
($1,000.00) to cover Landlord’s administrative, legal, and other costs and
expenses incurred in processing each of Tenant’s requests. Neither Tenant’s
payment nor Landlord’s acceptance of the foregoing fee shall be construed to
impose any obligation whatsoever upon Landlord to consent to Tenant’s request.

18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

ARTICLE 12 - COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

12.01. Tenant shall comply with all Legal Requirements which shall, in respect
of the Demised Premises or the use and occupation thereof, or the abatement of
any nuisance in, on or about the Demised Premises, impose any violation, order
or duty on Landlord or Tenant; and Tenant shall pay all the costs, expenses,
fines, penalties and damages which may be imposed upon Landlord or any Superior
Lessor by reason of or arising out of Tenant’s failure to fully and promptly
comply with and observe the provisions of this Section 12.01. However, Tenant
need not comply with any such law or requirement of any public authority so long
as Tenant shall be contesting the validity thereof, or the applicability thereof
to the Demised Premises, in accordance with Section 12.02. Landlord represents
that it has received no notice of any violation of any applicable Legal
Requirement affecting the Demised Premises, and that to the best of Landlord’s
knowledge and belief, exclusive of compliance matters required as a result of
Landlord’s Work or Tenant’s Work, the Demised Premises are presently in
compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements.

12.02. Tenant may contest, by appropriate proceedings prosecuted diligently and
in good faith, the validity, or applicability to the Demised Premises, of any
Legal Requirement, provided that (a)/ Landlord shall not be subject to criminal
penalty or to prosecution for a crime or offense, and neither the Demised
Premises nor any part thereof shall be subject to being condemned or vacated, by
reason of non-compliance or otherwise by reason of such contest; (b) before the
commencement of such contest, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord either (i) the
bond of a surety company satisfactory to Landlord, which bond shall be, as to
its provisions and form, satisfactory to Landlord, and shall be in an amount at
least equal to 125% of the cost of such compliance (as estimated by a reputable
contractor designated by Landlord) and shall indemnify Landlord against the cost
thereof and against all liability for damages, interest, penalties and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), resulting from or incurred
in connection with such contest or non-compliance, or (ii) other security in
place of such bond satisfactory to Landlord;  (c) such non-compliance or contest
shall not constitute or result in any violation of any Superior Lease or
Superior Mortgage, or if any such Superior Lease and/or Superior Mortgage shall
permit such non-compliance or contest on condition of the taking of action or
furnishing of security by Landlord, such action shall be taken and such security
shall be furnished at the expense of Tenant; and (d) Tenant shall keep Landlord
advised as to the status of such  proceedings. Without limiting the application
of the above, Landlord shall be deemed subject to prosecution for a crime or
offense if Landlord, or its  managing agent, or any officer, director, partner,
shareholder or employee of Landlord or its managing agent, as an individual, is
charged with a crime or offense of any kind or degree whatsoever, whether by
service of a summons or otherwise, unless such charge is withdrawn before
Landlord or its managing agent, or such officer, director, partner, shareholder
or employee of Landlord or its managing agent (as the case may be) is required
to plead or answer thereto. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to
the contrary, Tenant shall not file any Real Estate Tax Appeal with respect to
the Land, Building or the Demised Premises.

ARTICLE 13 - INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY

13.01. Landlord shall maintain or cause to be maintained All Risk insurance in
respect of the Building and other improvements on the Land normally covered by
such insurance (except for

19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the property Tenant is required to cover with insurance under Section 13.02 and
similar property of other tenants and occupants of the Building or buildings and
other improvements which are on land neither owned by nor leased to Landlord)
for the benefit of Landlord, any Superior Lessors, any Superior Mortgagees and
any other parties Landlord may at any time and from time to time designate, as
their interests may appear, but not for the benefit of Tenant, and shall
maintain rent insurance as required by any Superior Lessor or any Superior
Mortgagee. The All Risk insurance will be in the amounts required by any
Superior Lessor or any Superior Mortgagee but not less than the amount
sufficient to avoid the effect of the co-insurance provisions of the applicable
policy or policies. Landlord may also maintain any other forms and types of
insurance which Landlord shall deem reasonable in respect of the Building and
Land. Landlord shall have the right to provide any insurance maintained or
caused to be maintained by it under blanket policies.

13.02. Tenant shall maintain the following insurance:  (a) commercial general
liability insurance in respect of the Demised Premises and the conduct and
operation of business therein, having a limit of liability not less than a
$5,000,000. per occurrence for bodily injury or property damage. coverage to
include but not be limited to  premises/operations, completed operations,
contractual liability and product liability,  (b) automobile liability insurance
covering all owned, hired and non-owned vehicles used by the Tenant  in
connection with the premises  and any loading or unloading of such vehicles,
with a limit of liability not less than $2,000,000 per accident and (c) worker’s
compensation and  employers liability insurance as required by statutes, but in
any event not less than $500,000. for Employers Liability; (d) All Risk
insurance in respect of loss or damage to Tenant’s stock in trade, fixtures,
furniture, furnishings, removable floor coverings, equipment, signs and all
other property of Tenant in the Demised Premises in an amount equal to the full
replacement value thereof as same might increase from time to time or such
higher amount as either may be required by the holder of any fee mortgage, or is
necessary to prevent Landlord and/or Tenant from becoming a co-insurer.  Such
insurance shall include coverage for property of others in the care, custody and
control of Tenant in amounts sufficient to cover the replacement value of such
property, to the extent of Tenant’s liability therefor; and (e)  such other
insurance as Landlord may reasonably require. Landlord may at any time and from
time to time require that the limits for the general liability insurance to be
maintained by Tenant be increased to the limits that new tenants in the Building
are required by Landlord to maintain. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and any
additional insured(s) certificates for such fully paid-for policies upon
execution hereof. Tenant shall procure and pay for renewals of such insurance
from time to time before the expiration thereof, and Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord and any additional insured(s) certificates therefor at least thirty
(30) days before the expiration of any existing policy. All such policies shall
be issued by companies acceptable to Landlord, having a Bests Rating of not less
than A, Class VII (or an equivalent S&P rating if requested by Landlord), and
licensed to do business in New Jersey, and all such policies shall contain a
provision whereby the same cannot be canceled unless Landlord and any additional
insured(s) are given at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such
cancellation. The policies and certificates of insurance (such certificates to
be on Acord form 27 or its equivalent) to be delivered to Landlord by Tenant
pursuant to this Section 13.02 (other than workers compensation insurance) shall
name Landlord as an additional insured and, at Landlord’s request, shall also
name any Superior Lessors or Superior Mortgagees as additional insureds, and the
following phrase must be typed on the certificate of insurance: “Hartz Mountain
Industries, Inc., and its respective subsidiaries, affiliates, associates, joint
ventures, and partnerships, and  (if Landlord has so requested) Superior Lessors
and Superior Mortgagees are hereby named as

20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

additional insureds as their interests may appear. It is intended for this
insurance to be primary and non-contributing.”  Tenant shall give Landlord at
least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice that any such policy is being
canceled or replaced. Tenant’s obligation to carry the insurance provided for
herein may be brought within the coverage of a so-called “blanket” policy of
insurance carried and maintained by Tenant; provided, however, that
(i) certificates of insurance (on Acord form 27 or the equivalent) for such
insurance are delivered to Landlord and that Landlord shall be named as an
additional insured thereunder, as its interests may appear as more particularly
required above, (ii) the coverage afforded Landlord shall not be reduced or
diminished by reason of the use of such blanket policy of insurance, (iii) the
requirements set forth herein are otherwise satisfied, (iv) such blanket policy
shall reference the Demised Premises and guarantee a minimum limit available for
the Demised Premises equal to the insurance amounts required in this Lease, and
(v) Tenant agrees to make available to Landlord, at all reasonable times, the
original policies of insurance.

13.03. Tenant shall not do, permit or suffer to be done any act, matter, thing
or failure to act in respect of the Demised Premises or use or occupy the
Demised Premises or conduct or operate Tenant’s business in any manner
objectionable to any insurance company or companies whereby the fire insurance
or any other insurance then in effect in respect of the Land and Building or any
part thereof shall become void or suspended or whereby any premiums in respect
of insurance maintained by Landlord shall be higher than those which would
normally have been in effect for the occupancy contemplated under the Permitted
Uses. In case of a breach of the provisions of this Section 13.03, in addition
to all other rights and remedies of Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall
(a) indemnify Landlord and the Superior Lessors and hold Landlord and the
Superior Lessors harmless from and against any loss which would have been
covered by insurance which shall have become void or suspended because of such
breach by Tenant and (b) pay to Landlord any and all increases of premiums on
any insurance, including, without limitation, rent insurance, resulting from any
such breach.

13.04. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and all Superior
Lessors and its and their respective partners, joint venturers, directors,
officers, agents, servants and employees from and against any and all claims
arising from or in connection with (a) the conduct or management of the Demised
Premises or of any business therein, or any work or thing whatsoever done, or
any condition created (other than by Landlord) in the Demised Premises during
the Term or during the period of time, if any, prior to the Commencement Date
that Tenant may have been given access to the Demised Premises; (b) any act,
omission or negligence of Tenant or any of its subtenants or licensees or its or
their partners, joint venturers, directors, officers, agents, employees or
contractors; (c) any accident, injury or damage whatever (unless caused solely
by Landlord’s negligence) occurring in the Demised Premises; and (d) any breach
or default by Tenant in the full and prompt payment and performance of Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease; together with all costs, expenses and liabilities
incurred in or in connection with each such claim or action or proceeding
brought thereon, including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees and
expenses. In case any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord and/or
any Superior Lessor and/or its or their partners, joint venturers, directors,
officers, agents and/or employees in connection with conduct or management of
the Demised Premises or by reason of any claim referred to above, Tenant, upon
notice from Landlord or such Superior Lessor, shall, at Tenant’s cost and
expense, resist and defend such action or proceeding by counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord.

21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

13.05. Neither party shall be liable or responsible for, and each party hereby
releases the other from, all liability and responsibility to the other and any
person claiming by, through or under such party, by way of subrogation or
otherwise, for any injury, loss or damage to any person or property in or around
the Demised Premises or to the other’s business covered by insurance carried or
required to be carried hereunder irrespective of the cause of such injury, loss
or damage, and each party shall require its insurers to include in all of such
party’s insurance policies which could give rise to a right of subrogation  a
clause or endorsement whereby the insurer waives any rights of subrogation
against the other or permits the insured, prior to any loss, to agree with a
third party to waive any claim it may have against said third party without
invalidating the coverage under the insurance policy.

ARTICLE 14 - RULES AND REGULATIONS

14.01. Tenant and its employees and agents shall faithfully observe and comply
with the Rules and Regulations and such reasonable changes therein (whether by
modification, elimination or addition) as Landlord at any time or times
hereafter may make and communicate to Tenant, which in Landlord’s judgment,
shall be necessary for the reputation, safety, care or appearance of the Land
and Building, or the preservation of good order therein, or the operation or
maintenance of the Building or its equipment and fixtures, or the Common Areas,
and which do not unreasonably affect the conduct of Tenant’s business in the
Demised Premises; provided, however, that in case of any conflict or
inconsistency between the provisions of this Lease and any of the Rules and
Regulations, the provisions of this Lease shall control. Nothing in this Lease
contained shall be construed to impose upon Landlord any duty or obligation to
enforce the Rules and Regulations against any other tenant or any employees or
agents of any other tenant, and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for
violation of the Rules and Regulations by any other tenant or its employees,
agents, invitees or licensees.

ARTICLE 15 - ALTERATIONS AND SIGNS

15.01. Tenant shall not make any alterations or additions to the Demised
Premises, or make any holes or cuts in the walls, ceilings, roofs, or floors
thereof, or change the exterior color or architectural treatment of the Demised
Premises, without on each occasion first obtaining the consent of Landlord,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding
anything contained in the previous sentence to the contrary, Landlord’s consent
shall not be required for any non-structural interior alteration which does not
affect (i) the structure of the Building, or (ii) the mechanical systems serving
the Building, or (iii) the functional utility of the Building for the Permitted
Uses (“Permitted Alterations”), provided, however, Tenant agrees to provide
Landlord with written notice of any Permitted Alteration exceeding $50,000.
 Tenant shall submit to Landlord plans and specifications for such work at the
time Landlord’s consent is sought. In the event Landlord does not respond to
Tenant’s submission within fifteen (15) business days of Landlord’s receipt of
said plans and specifications, the plans and specifications, as submitted by
Tenant, shall be deemed approved. Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand the
reasonable cost and expense of Landlord in (a) reviewing said plans and
specifications and (b) inspecting the alterations to determine whether the same
are being performed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and
all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements, including,

22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

without limitation, the fees of any architect or engineer employed by Landlord
for such purpose. Before proceeding with any permitted alteration which will
cost more than $100,000 (exclusive of the costs of decorating work, items
constituting Tenant’s Property, and the “initial” Tenant’s Work), as estimated
by a reputable contractor reasonably approved by Landlord, Tenant shall obtain
and deliver to Landlord either (i) a performance bond and a labor and materials
payment bond (issued by a corporate surety licensed to do business in New
Jersey), each in an amount equal to 125% of such estimated cost and in form
satisfactory to Landlord, or (ii) such other security as shall be satisfactory
to Landlord. Tenant shall fully and promptly comply with and observe the
Rules and Regulations then in force in respect of the making of alterations. Any
review or approval by Landlord of any plans and/or specifications with respect
to any alterations is solely for Landlord’s benefit, and without any
representation or warranty whatsoever to Tenant in respect of the adequacy,
correctness or efficiency thereof or otherwise.

15.02. Tenant shall obtain all necessary governmental permits and certificates
for the commencement and prosecution of permitted alterations and for final
approval thereof upon completion, and shall cause alterations to be performed in
compliance therewith and with all applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance
Requirements. Alterations shall be diligently performed in a good and
workmanlike manner, using new or like-new materials and equipment at least equal
in quality and class to the better of (a) the original installations of the
Building, or (b) the then standards for the Building established by Landlord.
Alterations, including, but not limited to alterations in or to the mechanical,
electrical, sanitary, heating, ventilating, air conditioning or other systems of
the Building, shall be performed by contractors first reasonably approved by
Landlord. Alterations shall be made in such manner as not to unreasonably
interfere with or delay and as not to impose any additional expense upon
Landlord in the construction, maintenance, repair or operation of the Building;
and if any such additional expense shall be incurred by Landlord as a result of
Tenant’s making of any alterations, Tenant shall pay any such additional expense
upon demand. Throughout the making of alterations, Tenant shall carry, or cause
to be carried, worker’s compensation insurance in statutory limits and general
liability insurance, with completed operation endorsement, for any occurrence in
or about the Building, under which Landlord and its managing agent and any
Superior Lessor whose name and address shall previously have been furnished to
Tenant shall be named as parties insured, in such limits as Landlord may
reasonably require, with insurers reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant
shall furnish Landlord with reasonably satisfactory evidence that such insurance
is in effect at or before the commencement of alterations and, on request, at
reasonable intervals thereafter during the making of alterations.

15.03. Tenant shall not place any signs on the roof, exterior walls or grounds
of the Demised Premises without first obtaining Landlord’s written consent
thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. In placing any signs on or about the Demised Premises, Tenant shall, at
its expense, comply with all applicable Legal Requirements and obtain all
required permits and/or licenses.

15.04. In connection with the making of any alteration, Landlord shall, upon
request of Tenant, advise Tenant at the time consent to any alteration is
requested, whether Landlord will require that the subject alteration be removed
from the Demised Premises and the Demised Premises restored to their original
condition.

ARTICLE 16 - LANDLORD’S AND TENANT’S PROPERTY

16.01. All fixtures, equipment, improvements and appurtenances attached to or
built into the Demised Premises at the commencement of or during the Term,
whether or not by or at the expense of Tenant, shall be and remain a part of the
Demised Premises, shall be deemed to be the property of Landlord and shall not
be removed by Tenant, except as provided in Section 16.02. Further, any
carpeting or other personal property in the Demised Premises on the Commencement
Date, unless installed and paid for by Tenant, shall be and shall remain
Landlord’s property and shall not be removed by Tenant.

16.02. All movable partitions, business and trade fixtures, machinery and
equipment, communications equipment and office equipment, whether or not
attached to or built into the Demised Premises, which are installed in the
Demised Premises by or for the account of Tenant without expense to Landlord and
can be removed without structural damage to the Building and all furniture,
furnishings, and other movable personal property owned by Tenant and located in
the Demised Premises (collectively, “Tenant’s Property”) shall be and shall
remain the property of Tenant and may be removed by Tenant at any time during
the Term; provided that if any of the Tenant’s Property is removed, Tenant shall
repair or pay the cost of repairing any damage to the Demised Premises, the
Building or the Common Areas resulting from the installation and/or removal
thereof. Any equipment or other property for which Landlord shall have granted
any allowance or credit to Tenant shall not be deemed to have been installed by
or for the account of Tenant without expense to Landlord, shall not be
considered as the Tenant’s Property and shall be deemed the property of
Landlord.

16.03. At or before the Expiration Date or the date of any earlier termination
of this Lease, or within fifteen (15) days after such an earlier termination
date, Tenant shall remove from the Demised Premises all of the Tenant’s Property
(except such items thereof as Landlord shall have expressly permitted to remain,
which property shall become the property of Landlord if not removed), and Tenant
shall repair any damage to the Demised Premises, the Building and the Common
Areas resulting from any installation and/or removal of the Tenant’s Property.
Any items of the Tenant’s Property which shall remain in the Demised Premises
after the Expiration Date or after a period of fifteen (15) days following an
earlier termination date, may, at the option of Landlord, be deemed to have been
abandoned, and in such case such items may be retained by Landlord as its
property or disposed of by Landlord, without accountability, in such manner as
Landlord shall determine at Tenant’s expense.

16.04. At or before the Expiration Date or the date of any earlier termination
of this Lease, or within fifteen (15) days after such an earlier termination
date, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, remove from the Demised
Premises such rack system as may be installed in the Demised Premises and Tenant
shall repair any damage to the Demised Premises, the Building and the Common
Areas resulting from any installation and/or removal thereof; provided, however,
that at Landlord’s option, upon written notice from Landlord, Tenant shall not
remove such rack system, in which event such rack system shall remain on the
Demised Premises and shall not be Tenant’s Property. Such removal, if any, shall
be in accordance with the following procedures, unless Landlord shall advise
Tenant to the contrary by written notice to Tenant:

24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Core a hole centered over the anchor bolt with a core bit 1.5 times larger than
the bolt to be removed, but in no event smaller than 1” in diameter.

Core hole shall be drilled to a depth equal to the bolt depth, but not less than
2” deep. Remove the cored concrete with the anchor bolt from the hole. Clean all
concrete slurry and debris from area to be patched.

Fill the cored hole with a polymer-modified non-shrink mortar, specifically
SikaTop 122 or Master Builders Ceilcote 648 CP, or equivalent, and finish to
match surrounding concrete surface.

ARTICLE 17 - REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE

17.01. Tenant shall, throughout the Term, take good care of the Demised
Premises, the fixtures and appurtenances therein, and shall not do, suffer, or
permit any waste with respect thereto. Tenant shall keep and maintain the
Demised Premises including without limitation all building equipment, windows,
doors, loading bay doors and shelters, plumbing and electrical systems, heating,
ventilating and air conditioning (“HVAC”) systems (whether located in the
interior of the Demised Premises or on the exterior of the Building) in a clean
and orderly condition. Tenant shall, at Landlord’s option, keep and maintain in
a clean and orderly condition all HVAC systems and any other mechanical or other
systems exclusively serving the Demised Premises which are located in whole or
in part outside of the Demised Premises (it being understood and agreed that if
Landlord shall elect to keep and maintain said systems, then the cost of same
shall be included in Operating Expenses). Tenant shall keep and maintain all
exterior components of any windows, doors, loading bay doors and shelters
serving the Demised Premises in a clean and orderly condition. The phrase “keep
and maintain” as used herein includes repairs, replacement and/or restoration as
appropriate. Tenant shall not permit or suffer any over-loading of the floors of
the Demised Premises. Tenant shall be responsible for all repairs, interior and
exterior, structural and nonstructural, ordinary and extraordinary, in and to
the Demised Premises, and the Building (including the facilities and systems
thereof) and the Common Areas the need for which arises out of (a) the
performance or existence of the Tenant’s Work or alterations, (b) the
installation, use or operation of the Tenant’s Property in the Demised Premises,
(c) the moving of the Tenant’s Property in or out of the Building, or (d) the
act, omission, misuse or neglect of Tenant or any of its subtenants or its or
their employees, agents, contractors or invitees. Upon request by Landlord,
Tenant shall furnish Landlord with true and complete copies of maintenance
contracts and with copies of all invoices for work performed, confirming
Tenant’s compliance with its obligations under this Article. In the event Tenant
fails to furnish such copies, Landlord shall have the right, at Tenant’s cost
and expense, to conduct such inspections or surveys as may be required to
determine whether or not Tenant is in compliance with this Article and to have
any work required of Tenant performed at Tenant’s cost and expense. Tenant shall
promptly replace all scratched, damaged or broken doors and glass in and about
the Demised Premises and shall be responsible for all repairs, maintenance and
replacement of wall and floor coverings in the Demised Premises and for the
repair and maintenance of all sanitary and electrical fixtures and equipment
therein. The Tenant shall also arrange for its own cleaning services and rubbish
removal. Tenant shall promptly make all repairs in or to the Demised Premises
for which Tenant is responsible, and any repairs required to be made by Tenant
to the mechanical, electrical, sanitary, heating,

25

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ventilating, air-conditioning or other systems of the Building shall be
performed only by contractor(s) reasonably approved by Landlord. Any other
repairs in or to the Building and the facilities and systems thereof for which
Tenant is responsible shall be performed by Landlord at Tenant’s expense.

17.02. So long as Tenant is not in default of this Lease, and provided same is
not the result of the act, omission, or negligence of the Tenant, or its agents,
representatives or contractors, Landlord shall be responsible to make all
necessary structural repairs to the Demised Premises at Landlord’s sole cost and
expense. “Structural repairs,” as that term is used in this Article 17.02, shall
be expressly limited to repairs to the Building’s pilings, foundations,
structural steel, and load bearing members as well as the structure supporting
the roof membrane (but not the roof membrane itself). In the event any
structural repair is necessitated by the acts, omissions, or negligence of
Tenant, or its agents, representatives or contractors, then Landlord shall make
such repairs at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Landlord shall perform normal
repairs and maintenance to the roof membrane, the cost of which shall be
included in Operating Expenses, provided, however, if, in Landlord’s sole but
commercially reasonable discretion, Landlord determines that the roof membrane
requires replacement at any time during the Term of the Lease (which shall
include, for the purposes of this Article 17.02, the period of any option
exercised by Tenant pursuant to Article R2. hereinbelow), Landlord shall be
responsible for the cost of such roof replacement the first time during the Term
the roof membrane is so replaced. Thereafter, the cost of any replacement of the
roof membrane shall be included in the Operating Expenses.

17.03. Tenant shall not permit or suffer the overloading of the floors of the
Demised Premises beyond 250 pounds per square foot as relates to the warehouse
floor, or lesser amount (100 pounds per square foot) as may be applicable to the
second floor and mezzanine area.

17.04. Except as otherwise 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 doing any repairs, maintenance, or changes which Landlord is required
or permitted by this Lease, or required by Law, to make in or to any portion of
the Building.

17.05. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, Tenant shall
be responsible, at Tenant’s cost and expense, for the repair (including
necessary replacements) and maintenance of the Parking Garage to be constructed
by Landlord (or Tenant, as the case may be) pursuant to Exhibit C to this Lease.

17.06. Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with the cost benefits of any
applicable warranty of the roof membrane, to the extent same are so available.

ARTICLE 18 - UTILITY CHARGES

18.01. Tenant shall pay all charges for gas, water, sewer, electricity, heat or
other utility or service supplied to the Demised Premises as measured by meters
relating to Tenant’s use, and any cost of repair, maintenance, replacement, and
reading of any meters measuring Tenant’s

26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

consumption thereof. If any utilities or services are not separately metered or
assessed or are only partially separately metered or assessed and are used in
common with other tenants or occupants of the Building, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord on demand Tenant’s proportionate share of such charges for utilities
and/or services, which shall be such charges multiplied by a fraction the
numerator of which shall be the Floor Space in the Demised Premises and the
denominator of which shall be the Floor Space of all tenants and occupants of
the Building using such utilities and/or services. In the event Landlord
determines that Tenant’s utilization of any such service exceeds the fraction
referred to above, Tenant’s proportionate share with respect to such service
shall, at Landlord’s option, mean the percentage of any such service (but not
less than the fraction referred to above) which Landlord reasonably estimates as
Tenant’s utilization thereof. Tenant expressly agrees that Landlord shall not be
responsible for the failure of supply to Tenant of any of the aforesaid, or any
other utility service. Landlord shall not be responsible for any public or
private telephone service to be installed in the space, particularly conduit, if
required. If Landlord, or its designee is permitted by law to provide electric
energy to the Demised Premises by re-registering meters or otherwise and to
collect any charges for electric energy, Landlord or its designee shall have the
exclusive right to do so, in which event Tenant shall pay to Landlord or its
designee upon receipt of bills therefor charges for electric energy provided the
rates for such electric energy shall not be more than the rates Tenant would be
charged for electric energy if furnished directly to Tenant by the public
utility which would otherwise have furnished electric energy.

18.02. Tenant’s use of electric energy in the Demised Premises shall not at any
time exceed the capacity of any of the electrical conductors and equipment in or
otherwise serving the Demised Premises. In order to insure that such capacity is
not exceeded and to avert possible adverse effect upon the Building’s electric
service, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior consent in each instance
(which shall not be unreasonably withheld), connect any fixtures, appliances or
equipment to the Building’s electric distribution system or make any alteration
or addition to the electric system of the Demised Premises existing on the
Commencement Date. Should Landlord grant such consent, all additional risers or
other equipment required therefor shall be provided by Landlord and the
reasonable cost thereof shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand.

18.03. At Landlord’s option, Landlord or Landlord’s designee shall have the
exclusive right, but not the obligation, to install or cause to be installed
solar panels or other energy generating equipment on the Building (including but
not limited to the roof thereof) for purposes of furnishing in whole or in part
electric energy to the Building (herein an “Energy System”). Tenant shall
provide Landlord or its designee with access to the Demised Premises for the
installation, maintenance and repair of such Energy System as Landlord or its
designee may require, provided, however, Landlord agrees to exercise its rights
under this Article 18.03 in such a manner so as to minimize any interference
with Tenant’s means of ingress and egress to and from the Demised Premises as
well as Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Demised Premises for the Permitted
Uses.  If installed, such Energy System shall (either itself or together with
such service provided by a public utility provider) meet the minimum service
provided to the Building immediately prior to the installation of such Energy
System. In the event Landlord elects to install or cause such Energy System to
be installed, Tenant shall purchase electric energy for the Demised Premises
from Landlord or its designee and Tenant shall pay the charges established by
Landlord or its designee for such service from time to time, but not in excess
of the rates payable by Tenant from a third party public utility provider having
service available to the Building. Landlord also reserves the

27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

right to discontinue furnishing electric energy at any time whether or not
Tenant is in default of this Lease upon not less than thirty (30) days’ notice
to Tenant.

ARTICLE 19 - ACCESS, CHANGES AND NAME

19.01. Except for the space within the inside surfaces of all walls, hung
ceilings, floors, windows and doors bounding the Demised Premises, all of the
Building, including, without limitation, exterior Building walls, core corridor
walls and doors and any core corridor entrance, any terraces or roofs adjacent
to the Demised Premises, and any space in or adjacent to the Demised Premises
used for shafts, stacks, pipes, conduits, fan rooms, ducts, electric or other
utilities, sinks or other Building facilities and the use thereof, as well as
access thereto through the Demised Premises for the purpose of operating,
maintenance, decoration and repair, are reserved to Landlord. Landlord also
reserves the right, to install, erect, use and maintain pipes, ducts and
conduits in and through the Demised Premises, provided such are (i) properly
enclosed, (ii) do not interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Demised
Premises for the Permitted Uses, and (iii) do not reduce the useable floor area
of the Demised Premises.

19.02. Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter and/or pass through
the Demised Premises at any time or times upon reasonable prior notice to Tenant
(except in the event of an emergency when the circumstances shall dictate the
nature and extent of notice) (a) to examine the Demised Premises and to show
them to actual and prospective Superior Lessors, Superior Mortgagees, or
prospective purchasers of the Building, and (b) to make such repairs,
alterations, additions and improvements in or to the Demised Premises and/or in
or to the Building or its facilities and equipment as Landlord is required or
desires to make. Landlord shall be allowed to take all materials into and upon
the Demised Premises that may be required in connection therewith, without any
liability to Tenant and without any reduction of Tenant’s obligations hereunder.
During the period of twelve (12) months prior to the Expiration Date, Landlord
and its agents may exhibit the Demised Premises to prospective tenants.

19.03. If at any time any windows of the Demised Premises are temporarily
darkened or obstructed by reason of any repairs, improvements, maintenance
and/or cleaning in or about the Building, or if any part of the Building or the
Common Areas, other than the Demised Premises, is temporarily or permanently
closed or inoperable, the same shall not be deemed a constructive eviction and
shall not result in any reduction or diminution of Tenant’s obligations under
this Lease.

19.04. Intentionally omitted.

19.05. Landlord reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to make
such changes, alterations, additions and improvements in or to the Building and
the fixtures and equipment thereof as Landlord shall deem necessary or desirable
provided the same do not materially interfere with Tenant’s means of ingress and
egress to and from the Demised Premises or Tenant’s use and occupancy of the
Demised Premises for the Permitted Uses.

19.06. Landlord may adopt any name for the Building. Landlord reserves the right
to change the name and/or address of the Building at any time upon notice to
Tenant.

28

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

ARTICLE 20 - MECHANICS’ LIENS AND OTHER LIENS

20.01. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed to imply any consent
of Landlord to subject Landlord’s interest or estate to any liability under any
mechanic’s, construction or other lien law. If any lien or any Notice of
Intention (to file a lien), Lis Pendens, or Notice of Unpaid Balance and Right
to File Lien is filed against the Land, the Building, or any part thereof, or
the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, for any work, labor, services or
materials claimed to have been performed or furnished for or on behalf of
Tenant, or anyone holding any part of the Demised Premises through or under
Tenant, Tenant shall cause the same to be canceled and discharged of record by
payment, bond or order of a court of competent jurisdiction within fifteen (15)
days after notice by Landlord to Tenant.

ARTICLE 21 - NON-LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

21.01. Neither Landlord nor any partner, joint venturer, director, officer,
agent, servant or employee of Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for any loss,
injury or damage to Tenant or to any other Person, or to its or their property,
irrespective of the cause of such injury, damage or loss, unless caused by or
resulting from the negligence of Landlord, its agents, servants or employees in
the operation or maintenance of the Land or Building without contributory
negligence on the part of Tenant or any of its subtenants or licensees or its or
their employees, agents or contractors. Further, neither Landlord nor any
partner, joint venturer, director, officer, agent, servant or employee of
Landlord shall be liable (a) for any such damage caused by other tenants or
Persons in, upon or about the Land or Building, or caused by operations in
construction of any private, public or quasi-public work; or (b) even if
negligent, for consequential damages arising out of any loss of use of the
Demised Premises or any equipment or facilities therein by Tenant or any Person
claiming through or under Tenant.

21.02. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and all Superior
Lessors and its and their respective partners, joint venturers, directors,
officers, agents, servants and employees from and against any and all claims
arising from or in connection with (a) the conduct or management of the Demised
Premises or of any business therein, or any work or thing whatsoever done, or
any condition created (other than by Landlord) in the Demised Premises during
the Term or during the period of time, if any, prior to the Commencement Date
that Tenant may have been given access to the Demised Premises; (b) any act,
omission or negligence of Tenant or any of its subtenants or licensees or its or
their partners, joint venturers, directors, officers, agents, employees or
contractors; (c) any accident, injury or damage whatever (unless caused solely
by Landlord’s negligence) occurring in the Demised Premises; and (d) any breach
or default by Tenant in the full and prompt payment and performance of Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease; together with all costs, expenses and liabilities
incurred in or in connection with each such claim or action or proceeding
brought thereon, including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees and
expenses. In case of any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord and/or
any Superior Lessor and/or its or their partners, joint venturers, directors,
officers, agents and/or employees by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon
notice from Landlord or such Superior Lessor, shall resist and defend such
action or proceeding (by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord).

29

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

21.03. Landlord shall indemnify and hold harmless Tenant and its partners, joint
venturers, directors, officers, agents, representatives, servants and employees
from and against any and all claims arising from or in connection with (a) the
conduct and management of the Common Areas or any work or thing whatsoever done
or any condition created in the Common Areas unless caused by Tenant’s
negligence or willful act or the negligence or willful act of Tenant’s agents,
representatives, employees, or contractors; (b) any willful act or negligence of
Landlord; and (c) any breach or default by Landlord in full and prompt payment
and performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease; together with all
costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in or in connection with each such
claim or action or proceeding brought thereon, including, without limitation,
all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. In case any action or proceeding is
brought against Tenant by reason of any such claim, Landlord, upon notice from
Tenant, shall resist and defend such action or proceeding by counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Tenant (provided that counsel provided by Landlord’s insurance
carrier shall be deemed reasonably satisfactory to Tenant).

21.04. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Tenant shall look solely
to the estate and property of Landlord in and to the Land and Building (or the
proceeds received by Landlord on a sale of such estate and property but not the
proceeds of any financing or refinancing thereof) in the event of any claim
against Landlord arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the
relationship of Landlord and Tenant or Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises or
the Common Areas, and Tenant agrees that the liability of Landlord arising out
of or in connection with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant or
Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises or the Common Areas shall be limited to
such estate and property of Landlord (or sale proceeds). No other properties or
assets of Landlord or any partner, joint venturer, director, officer, agent,
servant or employee of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other
enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of any judgement (or other judicial
process) or for the satisfaction of any other remedy of Tenant arising out of,
or in connection with, this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant or
Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises or the Common Areas and if Tenant shall
acquire a lien on or interest in any other properties or assets by judgment or
otherwise, Tenant shall promptly release such lien on or interest in such other
properties and assets by executing, acknowledging and delivering to Landlord an
instrument to that effect prepared by Landlord’s attorneys. Tenant hereby waives
the right of specific performance and any other remedy allowed in equity if
specific performance or such other remedy could result in any liability of
Landlord for the payment of money to Tenant, or to any court or governmental
authority (by way of fines or otherwise) for Landlord’s failure or refusal to
observe a judicial decree or determination, or to any third party.

ARTICLE 22 - DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

22.01. If the Building or the Demised Premises shall be partially or totally
damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (and if this Lease shall not be
terminated as in this Article 22 hereinafter provided), Landlord shall repair
the damage and restore and rebuild the Building and/or the Demised Premises
(except for the Tenant’s Property) with reasonable dispatch after notice to it
of the damage or destruction and the collection of the insurance proceeds
attributable to such damage.

 

30

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

22.02. Subject to the provisions of Section 22.05, if all or part of the Demised
Premises shall be damaged or destroyed or rendered completely or partially
untenantable on account of fire or other casualty, the Rent shall be abated or
reduced, as the case may be, in the proportion that the untenantable area of the
Demised Premises bears to the total area of the Demised Premises (to the extent
of rent insurance proceeds received by the Landlord) for the period from the
date of the damage or destruction to (a) the date the damage to the Demised
Premises shall be substantially repaired, or (b) if the Building and not the
Demised Premises is so damaged or destroyed, the date on which the Demised
Premises shall be made tenantable; provided, however, should Tenant reoccupy a
portion of the Demised Premises during the period the repair or restoration work
is taking place and prior to the date that the Demised Premises are
substantially repaired or made tenantable the Rent allocable to such reoccupied
portion, based upon the proportion which the area of the reoccupied portion of
the Demised Premises bears to the total area of the Demised Premises, shall be
payable by Tenant from the date of such occupancy.

22.03. If (a) the Building or the Demised Premises shall be totally damaged or
destroyed by fire or other casualty, or (b) the Building shall be so damaged or
destroyed by fire or other casualty (whether or not the Demised Premises are
damaged or destroyed) that its repair or restoration requires the expenditure,
as estimated by a reputable contractor or architect designated by Landlord, of
more than thirty five percent (35%) (or fifteen percent [15%] if such casualty
occurs during the last two [2] years of the Term) of the full insurable value of
the Building immediately prior to the casualty, or (c) the Building shall be
damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (whether or not the Demised
Premises are damaged or destroyed) and either the loss shall not be covered by
Landlord’s insurance or the net insurance proceeds (after deducting all expenses
in connection with obtaining such proceeds) shall, in the estimation of a
reputable contractor or architect designated by Landlord be insufficient to pay
for the repair or restoration work, then in either such case Landlord may
terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice to such effect within ninety (90)
days after the date of the fire or other casualty. Notwithstanding any of the
foregoing to the contrary, if the Building shall be so damaged or destroyed by
fire or other casualty so that it is rendered untenantable for Tenant’s use and
occupancy and its repair would take more than twelve (12) months from the date
of the fire or other casualty to accomplish (the “Restoration Period”), as
reasonably estimated by the Architect, (the “Architect’s Determination”), then
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to
Landlord given within thirty (30) days of notice of the Architect’s
Determination. Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of the Architect’s
Determination within sixty (60) days of such damage or destruction.

22.04. Except as provided in Article 22.03 above, Tenant shall not be entitled
to terminate this Lease and no damages, compensation or claim shall be payable
by Landlord for inconvenience, loss of business or annoyance arising from any
repair or restoration of any portion of the Demised Premises or of the Building
pursuant to this Article 22. Landlord shall use its best efforts to make such
repair or restoration promptly and in such manner as not unreasonably to
interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Demised Premises, but Landlord
shall not be required to do such repair or restoration work except during
Landlord’s business hours on business days.

22.05. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Article 22, if by
reason of some act or omission on the part of Tenant or any of its subtenants or
its or their partners, directors, officers, servants, employees, agents or
contractors, either (a) Landlord or any Superior Lessor or

31

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any Superior Mortgagee shall be unable to collect all of the insurance proceeds
(including, without limitation, rent insurance proceeds) applicable to damage or
destruction of the Demised Premises or the Building by fire or other casualty,
or (b) the Demised Premises or the Building shall be damaged or destroyed or
rendered completely or partially untenantable on account of fire or other
casualty, then, without prejudice to any other remedies which may be available
against Tenant, there shall be no abatement or reduction of the Rent. Further,
nothing contained in this Article 22 shall relieve Tenant from any liability
that may exist as a result of any damage or destruction by fire or other
casualty.

22.06. Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind on the Tenant’s Property
and, except as provided by law or by reason of Landlord’s breach of any of its
obligations hereunder, shall not be obligated to repair any damage to or replace
the Tenant’s Property.

22.07. The provisions of this Article 22 shall be deemed an express agreement
governing any case of damage or destruction of the Demised Premises and/or
Building by fire or other casualty, and any law providing for such a contingency
in the absence of an express agreement, now or hereafter in force, shall have no
application in such case.

ARTICLE 23 - EMINENT DOMAIN

23.01. If the whole of the Demised Premises shall be taken by any public or
quasi-public authority under the power of condemnation, eminent domain or
expropriation, or in the event of conveyance of the whole of the Demised
Premises in lieu thereof, this Lease shall terminate as of the day possession
shall be taken by such authority. If 25% or less of the Floor Space of the
Demised Premises shall be so taken or conveyed, this Lease shall terminate only
in respect of the part so taken or conveyed as of the day possession shall be
taken by such authority. If more than 25% of the Floor Space of the Demised
Premises shall be so taken or conveyed, this Lease shall terminate only in
respect of the part so taken or conveyed as of the day possession shall be taken
by such authority, but either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease
upon notice given to the other party within 30 days after such taking
possession. If more than 25% of the Floor Space of the Building shall be so
taken or conveyed, Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease as of
the day possession shall be taken. If so much of the parking facilities shall be
so taken or conveyed that the number of parking spaces necessary, in Landlord’s
judgment, for the continued operation of the Building shall not be available,
Landlord shall, by notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease as of the day
possession shall be taken. If this Lease shall continue in effect as to any
portion of the Demised Premises not so taken or conveyed, the Rent shall be
computed as of the day possession shall be taken on the basis of the remaining
Floor Space of the Demised Premises. Except as specifically provided herein, in
the event of any such taking or conveyance there shall be no reduction in Rent.
If this Lease shall continue in effect, Landlord shall, at its expense, but
shall be obligated only to the extent of the net award or other compensation
(after deducting all expenses in connection with obtaining same) available to
Landlord for the improvements taken or conveyed (excluding any award or other
compensation for land or for the unexpired portion of the term of any Superior
Lease), make all necessary alterations so as to constitute the remaining
Building a complete architectural and tenantable unit, except for the Tenant’s
Property, and Tenant shall make all alterations or replacements to the Tenant’s
Property and decorations in the Demised Premises.

32

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All awards and compensation for any taking or conveyance, whether for the whole
or a part of the Land or Building, the Demised Premised or otherwise, shall be
the property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of Tenant’s
right, title and interest in and to any and all such awards and compensation,
including, without limitation, any award or compensation for the value of the
unexpired portion of the Term. Tenant shall be entitled to claim, prove and
receive in the condemnation proceeding such award or compensation as may be
allowed for the Tenant’s Property and for loss of business, good will, and
depreciation or injury to and cost of removal of the Tenant’s Property, but only
if such award or compensation shall be made by the condemning authority in
addition to, and shall not result in a reduction of, the award or compensation
made by it to Landlord.

23.02. If the temporary use or occupancy of all or any part of the Demised
Premises shall be taken during the Term, Tenant shall be entitled, except as
hereinafter set forth, to receive that portion of the award or payment for such
taking which represents compensation for the use and occupancy of the Demised
Premises, for the taking of the Tenant’s Property and for moving expenses, and
Landlord shall be entitled to receive that portion which represents
reimbursement for the cost of restoration of the Demised Premises. This Lease
shall be and remain unaffected by such taking and Tenant shall continue to be
responsible for all of its obligations hereunder insofar as such obligations are
not affected by such taking and shall continue to pay the Rent in full when due.
If the period of temporary use or occupancy shall extend beyond the Expiration
Date, that part of the award or payment which represents compensation for the
use and occupancy of the Demised Premises (or a part thereof) shall be divided
between Landlord and Tenant so that Tenant shall receive (except as otherwise
provided below) so much thereof as represents compensation for the period up to
and including the Expiration Date and Landlord shall receive so much thereof as
represents compensation for the period after the Expiration Date. All monies to
be paid to Tenant as, or as part of, an award or payment for temporary use and
occupancy for a period beyond the date to which the Rent has been paid shall be
received, held and applied by the first Superior Mortgagee (or if there is no
Superior Mortgagee, by Landlord as a trust fund) for payment of the Rent
becoming due hereunder.

ARTICLE 24 - SURRENDER

24.01. On the Expiration Date, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, or
upon any re-entry by Landlord upon the Demised Premises, Tenant shall quit and
surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord “broom-clean” and in good order,
condition and repair, except for ordinary wear and tear and such damage or
destruction as Landlord is required to repair or restore under this Lease, and
Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s Property therefrom except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Lease.

24.02. If Tenant remains in possession of the Demised Premises after the
expiration of the Term, Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying the Demised
Premises at the sufferance of Landlord subject to all of the provisions of this
Lease, except that the monthly Fixed Rent shall be twice the Fixed Rent in
effect during the last month of the Term.

33

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

24.03. No act or thing done by Landlord or its agents shall be deemed an
acceptance of a surrender of the Demised Premises, and no agreement to accept
such surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord.

ARTICLE 25 - CONDITIONS OF LIMITATION

25.01. This Lease is subject to the limitation that whenever Tenant or any
Guarantor (a) shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
(b) shall commence a voluntary case or have entered against it an order for
relief under any chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United
States Code) or any similar order or decree under any federal or state law, now
in existence, or hereafter enacted having the same general purpose, and such
order or decree shall have not been stayed or vacated within 30 days after
entry, or (c) shall cause, suffer, permit or consent to the appointment of a
receiver, trustee, administrator, conservator, sequestrator, liquidator or
similar official in any federal, state or foreign judicial or nonjudicial
proceeding, to hold, administer and/or liquidate all or substantially all of its
assets, and such appointment shall not have been revoked, terminated, stayed or
vacated and such official discharged of his duties within 30 days of his
appointment, then Landlord, at any time after the occurrence of any such event,
may give Tenant a notice of intention to end the Term at the expiration of five
(5) days from the date of service of such notice of intention, and upon the
expiration of said five (5) day period, whether or not the Term shall
theretofore have commenced, this Lease shall terminate with the same effect as
if that day were the expiration date of this Lease, but Tenant shall remain
liable for damages as provided in Article 27.

25.02. This Lease is subject to the further limitations that: (a) if Tenant
shall default in the payment of any Rent, or (b) if Tenant shall, whether by
action or inaction, be in default of any of its obligations under this Lease
(other than a default in the payment of Rent) and such default shall continue
and not be remedied within fifteen (15) days after Landlord shall have given to
Tenant a notice specifying the same, or, in the case of a default which cannot
with due diligence be cured within a period of fifteen (15) days and the
continuance of which for the period required for cure will not subject Landlord
or any Superior Lessor to prosecution for a crime or offense (as more
particularly described in the penultimate sentence of Section 12.02) or
termination of any Superior Lease or foreclosure of any Superior Mortgage, if
Tenant shall not, (i) within said fifteen (15) day period advise Landlord of
Tenant’s intention to take all steps necessary to remedy such default, (ii) duly
commence within said fifteen (15) day period, and thereafter diligently
prosecute to completion all steps necessary to remedy the default, and
(iii) complete such remedy within a reasonable time after the date of said
notice by Landlord, or (c) if any event shall occur or any contingency shall
arise whereby this Lease would, by operation of law or otherwise, devolve upon
or pass to any person, firm or corporation other than Tenant, except as
expressly permitted by Article 11, or (d) if Tenant shall vacate or abandon the
Demised Premises, or (e) if there shall be any default by Tenant (or any person
which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common
control with Tenant) under any other lease with Landlord (or any person which,
directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control
with Landlord) which shall not be remedied within the applicable grace period,
if any, provided therefor under such other lease, then in any of said cases
Landlord may give to Tenant a notice of intention to end the Term at the
expiration of five (5) days from the date of the service of such notice of
intention, and upon

34

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the expiration of said five (5) days, whether or not the Term shall theretofore
have commenced, this Lease shall terminate with the same effect as if that day
were the expiration date of this Lease, but Tenant shall remain liable for
damages as provided in Article 27.

ARTICLE 26 - RE-ENTRY BY LANDLORD

26.01. If Tenant shall default in the payment of any Rent, or if this Lease
shall terminate as provided in Article 25, Landlord or Landlord’s agents and
employees may immediately or at any time thereafter re-enter the Demised
Premises, or any part thereof, either by summary dispossess proceedings or by
any suitable action or proceeding at law without being liable to indictment,
prosecution or damages therefor, and may repossess the same, and may remove any
Person therefrom, to the end that Landlord may have, hold and enjoy the Demised
Premises. The word “re-enter,” as used herein, is not restricted to its
technical legal meaning. If this Lease is terminated under the provisions of
Article 25, or if Landlord shall re-enter the Demised Premises under the
provisions of this Article 26,  or in the event of the termination of this
Lease, or of re-entry, by or under any summary dispossess or other proceedings
or action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of
Tenant, Tenant shall thereupon pay to Landlord the Rent payable up to the time
of such termination of this Lease, or of such recovery of possession of the
Demised Premises by Landlord, as the case may be, and shall also pay to Landlord
damages as provided in Article 27.

26.02. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of its
obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall also have the right of injunction.
The special remedies to which Landlord may resort hereunder are cumulative and
are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies to which Landlord may
lawfully be entitled at any time and Landlord may invoke any remedy allowed at
law or in equity as if specific remedies were not provided for herein.

26.03. If this Lease shall terminate under the provisions of Article 25, or if
Landlord shall re-enter the Demised Premises under the provisions of this
Article 26, or in the event of the termination of this Lease, or of re-entry, by
or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision
of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Landlord shall be
entitled to retain all monies, if any, paid by Tenant to Landlord, whether as
Advance Rent, security or otherwise, but such monies shall be credited by
Landlord against any Rent due from Tenant at the time of such termination or
re-entry or, at Landlord’s option, against any damages payable by Tenant under
Article 27 or pursuant to law.

ARTICLE 27 - DAMAGES

27.01. If this Lease is terminated under the provisions of Article 25 or if
Landlord shall re-enter the Demised Premises under the provisions of Article 26,
or in the event of the termination of this Lease, or of re-entry, by or under
any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law by
reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Tenant shall pay as
Additional Charges to Landlord, at the election of Landlord, either or any
combination of:

35

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(a)  a sum which at the time of such termination of this Lease or at the time of
any such re-entry by Landlord, as the case may be, represents the then value of
the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate amount of the Rent which would have
been payable by Tenant (conclusively presuming the average monthly Additional
Charges to be the same as were the average monthly Additional Charges payable
for the year, or if less than 365 days have then elapsed since the Commencement
Date, the partial year, immediately preceding such termination or re-entry) for
the period commencing with such earlier termination of this Lease or the date of
any such re-entry, as the case may be, and ending with the Expiration Date, over
(ii) the aggregate rental value of the Demised Premises for the same period; or

(b)  sums equal to the Fixed Rent and the Additional Charges which would have
been payable by Tenant had this Lease not so terminated, or had Landlord not so
re-entered the Demised Premises, payable upon the due dates therefor specified
herein following such termination or such re-entry and until the Expiration
Date, provided, however, that if Landlord shall relet the Demised Premises
during said period, Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by
Landlord from such reletting, such net rents to be determined by first deducting
from the gross rents as and when received by Landlord from such reletting the
expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this Lease or in
re-entering the Demised Premises and in securing possession thereof, as well as
the expenses of reletting, including, without limitation, altering and preparing
the Demised Premises for new tenants, brokers’ commissions, legal fees, and all
other expenses properly chargeable against the Demised Premises and the rental
therefrom, it being understood that any such reletting may be for a period
shorter or longer than the period ending on the Expiration Date; but in no event
shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of such net rents over the sums
payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, nor shall Tenant be entitled in any
suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this subsection (b) to a credit
in respect of any rents from a reletting, except to the extent that such net
rents are actually received by Landlord. If the Demised Premises or any part
thereof should be relet in combination with other space, then proper
apportionment on a square foot basis shall be made of the rent received from
such reletting and of the expenses of reletting; or

(c) a sum which at the time of such termination of this Lease or at the time of
any such re-entry by Landlord, as the case may be, represents the aggregate
amount of the Rent which would have been payable by Tenant (conclusively
presuming the average monthly Additional Charges to be the same as were the
average monthly Additional Charges payable for the year, or if less than 365
days have then elapsed since the Commencement Date, the partial year,
immediately preceding such termination or re-entry) for the period commencing
with such earlier termination of this Lease or the date of any such re-entry, as
the case may be, and ending with the Expiration Date; provided, however, that if
Landlord shall relet the Demised Premises during said period, Landlord shall
credit Tenant with the net rents received by Landlord from such reletting, such
net rents to be determined by first deducting from the gross rents as and when
received by Landlord from such reletting the

36

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this Lease or in
re-entering the Demised Premises and in securing possession thereof, as well as
the expenses of reletting, including, without limitation, altering and preparing
the Demised Premises for new tenants, brokers’ commissions, legal fees, and all
other expenses properly chargeable against the Demised Premises and the rental
therefrom, it being understood that any such reletting may be for a period
shorter or longer than the period ending on the Expiration Date; but in no event
shall Landlord have to account to Tenant for any rents in excess of the total
damages recovered by Landlord hereunder, nor shall Tenant be entitled in any
suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this subdivision (c) to a credit
in respect of any rents from a reletting, except to the extent that such net
rents are actually received by Landlord. If the Demised Premises or any part
thereof should be relet in combination with other space, then proper
apportionment on a square foot basis shall be made of the rent received from
such reletting and of the expenses of reletting.

If the Demised Premises or any part thereof should be relet by Landlord before
presentation of proof of such damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the
amount of rent reserved upon such reletting shall, prima facie, be the fair and
reasonable rental value for the Demised Premises, or part thereof, so relet
during the term of the reletting. Landlord shall not be liable in any way
whatsoever for its failure to relet the Demised Premises or any part thereof, or
if the Demised Premises or any part thereof are relet, for its failure to
collect the rent under such reletting, and no such failure to relet or failure
to collect rent shall release or affect Tenant’s liability for damages or
otherwise under this Lease. Furthermore, Tenant, on behalf of itself and any and
all persons claiming through or under Tenant, does hereby waive and surrender
all right and privilege which it, they or any of them might have under or by
reason of any present or future law or applicable governmental or judicial
authority, to require that Landlord mitigate damages sustained or to be
sustained by Landlord hereunder as a result of a default by Tenant and/or any
and all persons claiming through or under Tenant under this Lease. In the event
Tenant, on behalf of itself or any and all persons claiming through or under
Tenant, attempts to raise a defense or assert any affirmative obligations on
Landlord’s part to mitigate such damages or relet the Demised Premises, Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord for any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord as a
result of any such defense or assertion, including but not limited to Landlord’s
attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith.

27.02. Suit or suits for the recovery of such damages or, any installments
thereof, may be brought by Landlord at any time and from time to time at its
election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to
postpone suit until the date when the Term would have expired if it had not been
so terminated under the provisions of Article 25, or under any provision of law,
or had Landlord not re-entered the Demised Premises. Nothing herein contained
shall be construed to limit or preclude recovery by Landlord against Tenant of
any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided
above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder on
the part of Tenant. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or
prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain as damages by reason of
the termination of this Lease or re-entry of the Demised Premises for the
default of Tenant under this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by
any statute or rule of law in effect at the

37

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

time, whether or not such amount be greater than, equal to, or less than any of
the sums referred to in Section 27.01.

27.03. In addition, if this Lease is terminated under the provisions of
Article 25, or if Landlord shall re-enter the Demised Premises under the
provisions of Article 26, Tenant covenants that:  (a) the Demised Premises then
shall be in the same condition as that in which Tenant has agreed to surrender
the same to Landlord at the Expiration Date; (b) Tenant shall have performed
prior to any such termination any obligation of Tenant contained in this Lease
for the making of any alteration or for restoring or rebuilding the Demised
Premises or the Building, or any part thereof; and (c) for the breach of any
covenant of Tenant set forth above in this Section 27.03, Landlord shall be
entitled immediately, without notice or other action by Landlord, to recover,
and Tenant shall pay, as and for liquidated damages therefor, the cost of
performing such covenant (as estimated by an independent contractor selected by
Landlord).

27.04. In addition to any other remedies Landlord may have under this Lease, and
without reducing or adversely affecting any of Landlord’s rights and remedies
under this Article 27, if any Rent or damages payable hereunder by Tenant to
Landlord are not paid upon demand therefor, the same shall bear interest at the
Late Payment Rate or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less, from
the due date thereof until paid, and the amounts of such interest shall be
Additional Charges hereunder.

ARTICLE 28 - AFFIRMATIVE WAIVERS

28.01. Tenant, on behalf of itself and any and all persons claiming through or
under Tenant, does hereby waive and surrender all right and privilege which it,
they or any of them might have under or by reason of any present or future law,
to redeem the Demised Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease after
being dispossessed or ejected from the Demised Premises by process of law or
under the terms of this Lease or after the termination of this Lease as provided
in this Lease.

28.02. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding
or counterclaim brought by either against the other on any matter whatsoever
arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of
Landlord and Tenant, and Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Demised Premises and
use of the Common Area, including, without limitation, any claim of injury or
damage, and any emergency and other statutory remedy with respect thereto.
Tenant shall not interpose any counterclaim of any kind (except compulsory
counterclaims as and if permitted by New Jersey Court Rules) in any action or
proceeding commenced by Landlord to recover possession of the Demised Premises.

ARTICLE 29 - NO WAIVERS

29.01. The failure of either party to insist in any one or more instances upon
the strict performance of any one or more of the obligations of this Lease, or
to exercise any election herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or
relinquishment for the future of the performance of such one or more obligations
of this Lease or of the right to exercise such election, but the same

38

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

shall continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any
subsequent breach, act or omission. The receipt by Landlord of Fixed Rent or
Additional Charges with knowledge of breach by Tenant of any obligation of this
Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach.

ARTICLE 30 - CURING TENANT’S DEFAULTS

30.01. If Tenant shall default in the performance of any of Tenant’s obligations
under this Lease beyond the applicable notice and cure period, Landlord, without
thereby waiving such default, may (but shall not be obligated to) perform the
same for the account and at the expense of Tenant, without notice in a case of
emergency, and in any other case only if such default continues after the
expiration of fifteen (15) days from the date Landlord gives Tenant notice of
the default. Charges for any expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with
any such performance by it for the account of Tenant, and charges for all costs,
expenses and disbursements of every kind and nature whatsoever, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, involved in collecting or endeavoring
to collect the Rent or any part thereof or enforcing or endeavoring to enforce
any rights against Tenant or Tenant’s obligations hereunder, under or in
connection with this Lease or pursuant to law, including any such cost, expense
and disbursement involved in instituting and prosecuting summary proceedings or
in recovering possession of the Demised Premises after default by Tenant or upon
the expiration of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease, and interest on
all sums advanced by Landlord under this Article at the Late Payment Rate or the
maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less, shall be payable by Tenant and
may be invoiced by Landlord to Tenant monthly, or immediately, or at any time,
at Landlord’s option, and such amounts shall be due and payable upon demand.

ARTICLE 31 - BROKER

31.01. Tenant represents that no broker except the Broker was instrumental in
bringing about or consummating this Lease and that Tenant had no conversations
or negotiations with any broker except the Broker concerning the leasing of the
Demised Premises. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Landlord against
and from any claims for any brokerage commissions and all costs, expenses and
liabilities in connection therewith, including, without limitation, attorneys’
fees and expenses, arising out of any conversations or negotiations had by
Tenant with any broker other than the Broker. Landlord shall pay any brokerage
commissions due the Broker pursuant to a separate agreement between Landlord and
the Broker.

ARTICLE 32 - NOTICES

32.01. Any notice, statement, demand, consent, approval or other communication
required or permitted to be given, rendered or made by either party to the
other, pursuant to this Lease or pursuant to any applicable Legal Requirement,
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given, rendered or
made only if (i) hand delivered, or (ii) sent by United States registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, or (iii) sent by overnight courier,
addressed to the other party at the address hereinabove set forth [except that
after the Commencement Date, Tenant’s address, unless Tenant shall give notice
to the contrary, shall be the Building( Attention: Real Estate, with a copy to
the General Counsel’s Office) as to Landlord, to the attention of General
Counsel with a concurrent notice to the attention of Controller, and shall be
deemed to have been

39

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

given, rendered or made on the second day after the day so mailed, unless mailed
outside the State of New Jersey, in which case it shall be deemed to have been
given, rendered or made on the third business day after the day so mailed.
Either party may, by notice as aforesaid, designate a different address or
addresses for notices, statements, demands, consents, approvals or other
communications intended for it. In addition, upon and to the extent requested by
Landlord, copies of notices shall be sent to the Superior Mortgagee.

ARTICLE 33 - ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

33.01. Tenant shall, at any time and from time to time, as requested by
Landlord, upon not less than twenty (20) days’ prior notice, execute and deliver
to the Landlord or a Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor 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), certifying the dates to which the Fixed Rent and Additional
Charges have been paid, stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of the
party giving the statement, the requesting party is in default in performance of
any of its obligations under this Lease, and, if so, specifying each such
default of which the party giving the statement shall have knowledge, and
stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of the party giving the statement,
any event has occurred which with the giving of notice or passage of time, or
both, would constitute such a default of the requesting party, and, if so,
specifying each such event; any such statement delivered pursuant hereto shall
be deemed a representation and warranty to be relied upon by the party
requesting the certificate and by others with whom such party may be dealing,
regardless of independent investigation. Tenant also shall include in any such
statement such other information concerning this Lease as Landlord may
reasonably request. In the event Tenant shall be requested by Landlord to
execute more than one (1) estoppel certificate in any one Calendar Year of the
Term, the first Estoppel Certificate so requested will be free of charge;
thereafter Landlord shall be obligated to pay Tenant an administrative of fee of
$150 for each Estoppel Certificate requested (after the first in any Calendar
Year.)

ARTICLE 36 - MISCELLANEOUS

36.01. Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has not made and

relying upon, any warranties,

40

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

representations, promises or statements, except to the extent that the same are
expressly set forth in this Lease or in any other written agreement(s) which may
be made between the parties concurrently with the execution and delivery of this
Lease. All understandings and agreements heretofore had between the parties are
merged in this Lease and any other written agreement(s) made concurrently
herewith, which alone fully and completely express the agreement of the parties
and which are entered into after full investigation. Neither party has relied
upon any statement or representation not embodied in this Lease or in any other
written agreement(s) made concurrently herewith. The submission of this Lease to
Tenant does not constitute by Landlord a reservation of, or an option to Tenant
for, the Demised Premises, or an offer to lease on the terms set forth herein
and this Lease shall become effective as a lease agreement only upon execution
and delivery thereof by Landlord and Tenant.

36.02. No agreement shall be effective to change, modify, waive, release,
discharge, terminate or effect an abandonment of this Lease, in whole or in
part, unless such agreement is in writing, refers expressly to this Lease and is
signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, modification,
waiver, release, discharge, termination or effectuation of abandonment is
sought.

36.03. If Tenant shall at any time request Landlord to sublet or let the Demised
Premises for Tenant’s account, Landlord or its agent is authorized to receive
keys for such purposes without releasing Tenant from any of its obligations
under this Lease, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord of any liability for loss
or damage to any of the Tenant’s Property in connection with such subletting or
letting.

36.04. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, the obligations
under this Lease shall bind and benefit the successors and assigns of the
parties hereto with the same effect as if mentioned in each instance where a
party is named or referred to; provided, however, that (a) no violation of the
provisions of Article 11 shall operate to vest any rights in any successor or
assignee of Tenant and (b) the provisions of this Section 36.04 shall not be
construed as modifying the conditions of limitation contained in Article 25.

36.05. Except for Tenant’s obligations to pay Rent, the time for Landlord or
Tenant, as the case may be, to perform any of its respective obligations
hereunder shall be extended if and to the extent that the performance thereof
shall be prevented due to any Unavoidable Delay. Except as expressly provided to
the contrary, the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall not be affected,
impaired or excused, nor shall Landlord have any liability whatsoever to Tenant,
(a) because Landlord is unable to fulfill, or is delayed in fulfilling, any of
its obligations under this Lease due to any of the matters set forth in the
first sentence of this Section 36.05, or (b) because of any failure or defect in
the supply, quality or character of electricity, water or any other utility or
service furnished to the Demised Premises for any reason beyond Landlord’s
reasonable control.

36.06. Any liability for payments hereunder (including, without limitation,
Additional Charges) shall survive the expiration of the Term or earlier
termination of this Lease.

36.07. If Tenant shall request Landlord’s consent and Landlord shall fail or
refuse to give such consent, Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages for any
withholding by Landlord of its

41

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

consent; Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action for specific performance or
injunction, and such remedy shall be available only in those cases where
Landlord has expressly agreed in writing not to unreasonably withhold or delay
its consent or where as a matter of law Landlord may not unreasonably withhold
its consent.

36.08. If an excavation shall be made upon land adjacent to or under the
Building, or shall be authorized to be made, Tenant shall afford to the Person
causing or authorized to cause such excavation, license to enter the Demised
Premises for the purpose of performing such work as said Person shall reasonably
deem necessary or desirable to preserve and protect the Building from injury or
damage and to support the same by proper foundations, without any claim for
damages or liability against Landlord and without reducing or otherwise
affecting Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

36.09. Tenant shall not exercise its rights under Article 15 or any other
provision of this Lease in a manner which would violate Landlord’s union
contracts or create any work stoppage, picketing, labor disruption or dispute or
any interference with the business of Landlord or any tenant or occupant of the
Building.

36.10. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of (a) any occurrence in or
about the Demised Premises for which Landlord might be liable, (b) any fire or
other casualty in the Demised Premises, (c) any damage to or defect in the
Demised Premises, including the fixtures and equipment thereof, for the repair
of which Landlord might be responsible, and (d) any damage to or defect in any
part of the Building’s sanitary, electrical, heating, ventilating,
air-conditioning, elevator or other systems located in or passing through the
Demised Premises or any part thereof.

36.11. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of New Jersey. Tenant hereby irrevocably agrees that any legal
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Lease may be brought in
the Courts of the State of New Jersey, or the Federal District Court for the
District of New Jersey, as Landlord may elect. By execution and delivery of this
Lease, Tenant hereby irrevocably accepts and submits generally and
unconditionally for itself and with respect to its properties, to the
jurisdiction of any such court in any such action or proceeding, and hereby
waives in the case of any such action or proceeding brought in the courts of the
State of New Jersey, or Federal District Court for the District of New Jersey,
any defenses based on jurisdiction, venue or forum non conveniens. If any
provision of this Lease shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this
Lease shall not be affected and shall be enforced to the extent permitted by
law. The table of contents, captions, headings and titles in this Lease are
solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect its interpretation.
This Lease shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other
rule requiring construction against the party causing this Lease to be drafted.
If any words or phrases in this Lease shall have been stricken out or otherwise
eliminated, whether or not any other words or phrases have been added, this
Lease shall be construed as if the words or phrases so stricken out or otherwise
eliminated were never included in this Lease and no implication or inference
shall be drawn from the fact that said words or phrases were so stricken out or
otherwise eliminated. Each covenant, agreement, obligation or other provision of
this Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed, shall be deemed and construed as a
separate and independent covenant of Tenant, not dependent on any other
provision of this Lease. All terms and words used in this Lease, regardless of
the number or gender in which

42

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

they are used, shall be deemed to include any other number and any other gender
as the context may require. Tenant specifically agrees to pay all of Landlord’s
costs, charges and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection
with any document review requested by Tenant and upon submission of bills
therefor. In the event Landlord permits Tenant to examine Landlord’s books and
records with respect to any Additional Charge imposed under this Lease, such
examination shall be conducted at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and shall be
conditioned upon Tenant retaining an independent accounting firm for such
purposes which shall not be compensated on any type of contingent fee basis with
respect to such examination. Wherever in this Lease or by law Landlord is
authorized to charge or recover costs and expenses for legal services or
attorneys’ fees, same shall include, without limitation, the costs and expenses
for in-house or staff legal counsel or outside counsel at rates not to exceed
the reasonable and customary charges for any such services as would be imposed
in an arms length third party agreement for such services.

36.12. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a copy of its
then current audited financial statement (which may be in the form of Tenant’s
most recent annual report) which shall be employed by Landlord for purposes of
financing the Premises and not distributed otherwise without prior authorization
of Tenant. Landlord shall be entitled (upon request) to one (1) free copy of
Tenant’s then current audited financial statement in each and every Calendar
Year of the Term; in the event Landlord requests Tenant’s audited financial
statement more than once in any Calendar Year of the Term, Tenant shall be
entitled to an administrative fee of $150 for the second and each successive
request in any Calendar Year. Tenant represents that its most recent annual
report is, under normal circumstances, available for review on Tenant’s website.

36.13. (i) At least ninety (90) days prior to Tenant’s termination of its lease,
and any extensions thereof, Tenant agrees to seek a determination from the New
Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“NJDEP”) in the form of a Letter
of Non-applicability (“LNA”), that the  New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act,
N.J.S.A. 13:1K-6 et seq. (“ISRA”), is inapplicable to the Tenant’s cessation of
operations and termination of its lease. Tenant represents, warrants, and
covenants that any information contained in any application for an LNA submitted
pursuant to this subsection will be true and complete. Tenant represents that
the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) number applicable to
Tenant’s operations would not subject this transaction to the requirements of
ISRA.

(ii) In the event that an LNA is denied by NJDEP, notice of such denial will be
given to Landlord within two (2) business days of Tenant’s receipt of NJDEP’s
denial of the LNA. Tenant shall satisfy its obligations under ISRA prior to its
lease termination date: (1) by securing an approval of the Tenant’s Negative
Declaration; or (2) by securing an approval of the Tenant’s Remedial Action
Workplan, and completing the implementation of such Plan, and obtaining from
NJDEP a “No Further Action” letter. Tenant shall bear sole responsibility for
any investigation and cleanup costs, fees, penalties, or damages associated with
ISRA compliance. In the event that Tenant is unable to complete the its ISRA
compliance obligations by the date of its lease termination, Landlord shall
continue to provide Tenant with reasonable access to the Demised Premises,
provided that any work undertaken by Tenant shall be performed in such a manner
as to minimize interference with Landlord’s or any other tenant’s use of the
Demised Premises. However, Landlord reserves its rights to deem Tenant a
holdover tenant in the event that Tenant’s ISRA compliance unreasonably
restricts the Landlord’s use of the Demised Premises.

43

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iii) Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of all correspondence, documents
and reports, including sampling results submitted to or received from any
governmental agency or third party in connection with Tenant’s compliance with
ISRA.

36.14.      (a) Certification. Tenant certifies that:  (i) It is not acting,
directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of any person, group, entity, or nation
named by any Executive Order or the United States Treasury Department as a
terrorist, “Specially Designated National and Blocked Person,” or other banned
or blocked person, entity, nation, or transaction pursuant to any law, order,
rule, or regulation that is enforced or administered by the Office of Foreign
Assets Control; and (ii)  It is not engaged in this traction, directly or
indirectly on behalf of, or instigating or facilitating this transaction,
directly or indirectly on behalf of, any such person, group, entity, or nation.

(b) Indemnification. Tenant hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold

harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, risks,
liabilities, and expenses (including attorney’s fees and costs) arising from or
related to any breach of the foregoing certification.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have duly executed this Lease as of the
day and year first above written.

RIDER TO LEASE DATED May 3, 2006, BETWEEN HARTZ MOUNTAIN METROPOLITAN, AS
LANDLORD AND THE CHILDREN’S PLACE SERVICE COMPANY, LLC, AS TENANT.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

R1.          If any of the provisions of this Rider shall conflict with any of
the provisions, printed or typewritten, of this Lease, such conflict shall
resolve in every instance in favor of the provisions of this Rider.

R2.          Provided Tenant is in compliance with all of the terms and
conditions contained herein, and provided Tenant has not assigned this Lease or
sublet all or any portion of the Demised Premises and is itself in occupation
and conducting business in the whole of the Demised Premises in accordance with
the terms of this Lease, Tenant expressly acknowledging and agreeing that the
option rights contained herein are personal to the original named Tenant, Tenant
shall have two (2) options to extend the Term of its lease of the Demised
Premises, from the date upon which this Lease would otherwise expire, for one
period of ten (10) years and a second period of five (5) years [each herein
referred to as an “Extended Period”, the first (being a ten (10) year period) of
which referred to as the “First Extended Period” and the second (being a five
(5) year period) referred to as the “Second Extended Period” respectively], upon
the following terms and conditions:

1.             If Tenant elects to exercise any one or both of said options, it
shall do so by giving notice of such election to Landlord on or before the date
which is one (1) year before the beginning of the Extended Period for which the
Term is to be extended by the exercise of such option. Tenant agrees that it
shall have forever waived its right to exercise any such option if it shall fail
for any reason whatsoever to give such notice to Landlord by the time provided
herein for the giving of such notice, whether such failure is inadvertent or
intentional, time being of the essence as to the exercise of each such option.

2.             If Tenant elects to exercise any one or both of said options, the
Term shall be automatically extended for the Extended Period covered by the
option so exercised without execution of an extension or renewal lease. Within
ten (10) days after request of either party following the effective exercise of
any such option, however, Landlord and Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to each other duplicate originals of an instrument in recordable form
confirming that such option was effectively exercised.

3.             Each Extended Period shall be upon the same terms and conditions
as are in effect immediately preceding the commencement of such Extended Period;
provided, however, that Tenant shall have no right or option to extend the Term
for any period of time beyond the expiration of the Second Extended Period and,
provided further, that in the Extended Period(s) the Fixed Rent shall be as
follows:

(a) The Fixed Rent during the first five (5) years of First Extended Period
shall be at Fair Market Value (“FMV”) but not less than Seven and 38/100 Dollars
($7.38) per square foot of Floor Space of the Demised Premises.

45

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) The Fixed Rent during the second five (5) years of the First Extended Period
shall be at the then FMV but not less than the Fixed Rent (on a per square foot
basis) paid by Tenant during the first five (5) years of the First Extended
Period.

(c) The Fixed Rent during the Second Extended Period shall be at the then FMV
but not less than the Fixed Rent paid by Tenant (on a per square foot basis)
during the second (5) years of the First Extended Period.

(d)  FMV shall be determined by mutual agreement of the parties. If the parties
are unable to agree on the FMV within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s exercise of
its option, the parties shall choose a licensed Real Estate Appraiser who shall
determine the FMV. The cost of said Real Estate Appraiser shall be borne equally
by the parties. If the parties are unable to agree on a licensed Real Estate
Appraiser within forty-five (45) days of Tenant’s exercise of its option, each
party shall select one Appraiser to appraise the FMV. All appraisals shall be
rendered within thirty (30) days of appointment of the respective Appraiser
appointed under this paragraph. If the difference between the two appraisals is
20% or less of the lower appraisal, then the FMV shall be the average of the two
appraisals. If the difference between the two appraisals is greater than 20% of
the lower appraisal, the two Appraisers shall select a third licensed Real
Estate Appraiser to appraise the FMV. The FMV shall in such case be the average
of the three appraisals. The cost of the third appraisal shall be borne equally
by the parties.

(e) For purposes of this Article R2. (3), the parties agree that FMV shall be
determined as the highest and best use for the Building, consistent with the
Hudson County New Jersey Market within which it is situate, without
consideration of (i) the leasehold improvements installed in the Demised
Premises by Tenant, or (ii) the existence of the parking structure to be
constructed pursuant to Exhibit C to the Lease.

4.             Any termination, expiration, cancellation or surrender of this
Lease shall terminate any right or option for the Extended Period(s) not yet
exercised.

5.             Landlord shall have the right, for thirty (30) days after receipt
of notice of Tenant’s election to exercise any option to extend the Term, to
reject Tenant’s election if Tenant gave such notice while Tenant was in default
beyond the applicable notice and cure period in the performance of any of its
obligations under the Lease, and such rejection shall automatically render
Tenant’s election to exercise such option null and void and of no effect.

6.             The options provided herein to extend the Term of the Lease may
not be severed from the Lease or separately sold, assigned or otherwise
transferred.

R3. (a) It is the agreement of the parties pursuant to this Lease that The
Children’s Place Services Company, LLC (“CP”) will lease premises at 2 Emerson
Lane, Secaucus, New Jersey from Hartz Mountain Metropolitan (the “ 2 Emerson
Lane Lease” and the “2 Emerson Lane Premises”). In conjunction with the 2
Emerson Lane Lease, CP will vacate and surrender two (2)

46

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

premises it currently leases from an affiliate of Hartz Mountain Metropolitan,
to wit, Hartz Mountain Associates, located at both 900 Secaucus Road, Secaucus,
New Jersey (the “900 Secaucus Road Lease” and the “900 Secaucus Road Premises”)
and 915 Secaucus Road, Secaucus, New Jersey (the “915 Secaucus Road Lease” and
the “915 Secaucus Road Premises”). The 2 Emerson Lane Lease shall commence on
the Commencement Date of this Lease (as that term is defined in Article 1.01H
above). The 900 Secaucus Road Lease and the 915 Secaucus Road Leases will
terminate (subject to and conditioned upon the terms and conditions of two
(2) separate Lease Termination Agreements with respect to each of the aforesaid
premises which Lease Termination Agreement are being executed contemporaneously
with this Lease) upon the later to occur of (i) the Commencement Date of this
Lease (i.e. March 1, 2007), or (ii) the date CP vacates and surrenders the 900
Secaucus Road Premises and/or the 915 Secaucus Road Premises, respectively (the
parties acknowledging there may be different dates of termination), by notice to
Landlord to such effect. For purposes of this Article R2., Hartz Mountain
Metropolitan and Hartz Mountain Associates shall sometimes hereinafter be
collectively referred to as the “Hartz Landlords.”

(b) In connection with the above, the Hartz Landlords and CP have agreed to
cooperate in the marketing of both the 900 Secaucus Road Premises and the 915
Secaucus Road Premises with an eye towards the Hartz Landlords’ re-letting each
of those Buildings. Up through and including the time period ending on
August 31, 2006, each party agrees to present all offers for a potential
re-letting of either of the Buildings to the other, provided however
(i) Landlord shall have final and absolute discretion on whether to accept any
such offer, and (ii) up through and including August 31, 2006, Tenant shall have
the right to reject any offer of re-letting regardless as to whether or not
Landlord would otherwise accept such offer. Thereafter, all decisions with
respect to the re-letting of the Buildings shall be in the sole and exclusive
discretion of Landlord and Landlord shall have no obligation to share any such
offers with Tenant. Each party agrees to act reasonably and in good faith in
connection with the exercise of its rights hereunder. Tenant acknowledges that
this lease is subject to the SNDA Contingency referenced in Article 9.2 of this
Lease, and the Site Plan Contingency referenced in Exhibit C to this Lease.
Tenant acknowledges and agrees that The Hartz Landlords shall be under no
obligation to execute any lease for the 900 Secaucus Road Premises or the 915
Secaucus Road Premises until such time as the aforesaid contingencies have been
satisfied or waived, or in the event the particular contingency has expired as a
result of Tenant’s failure to exercise any rights to terminate this Lease in a
timely manner.

(c) In the event either (or both) the 900 Secaucus Road Premises or the 915
Secaucus Road Premises are re-let during the period from the termination of each
of the respective leases through January 31, 2012 (the period from the
termination of the leases through January 31, 2012 sometimes hereinafter
referred to as the “Rent Credit Period”), Landlord agrees that Tenant may be
entitled to a credit as against its Fixed Rent obligation (the “Fixed Rent
Credit”) hereunder as follows:

(i)                                                                                    
As of December 31, 2007, Landlord will calculate whether the “net” Fixed Rent
(as that term is defined below) collected by Landlord relative to either (or
both) the 900 Secaucus Road Premises and the 915 Secaucus Road Premises from the
date of termination of either or both of those leases through December 31, 2007
exceeds One Million One Hundred Fifty One Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Six
Dollars ($1,151,266.00)[calculated as

47

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the product of the combined square footages of the 900 Secaucus Road Premises
and the 915 Secaucus Road Premises (in total, 276,304 square feet) and Five
Dollars ($5.00) per square foot and assuming a Commencement Date of March 1,
2007 (i.e., 10 months)]. The net Fixed Rent collected from the leasing of the
900 Secaucus Road Premises and/or the 915 Secaucus Road Premises from the
termination of either or both of said Leases through December 31, 2007 in excess
of $1,151,266.00 shall be referred to as the “Year One Excess Rent.” Tenant
shall be entitled to a credit as against the Fixed Rent to be paid by Tenant
under this Lease in Calendar Year 2008 equal to the Year One Excess Rent, same
to be amortized and applied on a monthly basis as against the monthly Fixed Rent
payable by Tenant in 2008.

(ii)                                                                                 
As of December 31, 2008, Landlord will calculate whether the “net” Fixed Rent
collected by Landlord relative to either (or both) the 900 Secaucus Road
Premises and the 915 Secaucus Road Premises from the date termination of either
or both of those leases through December 31, 2008 exceeds Two Million Five

both of said Leases through December 31, 2008 in excess of $2,532,786.00 shall
be referred to as the “Year Two Excess Rent.” Tenant shall be entitled to a
credit as against the Fixed Rent to be paid by Tenant in Calendar Year 2009
equal to the Year Two Excess Rent less any Year One Excess Rent previously
credited, same to be amortized and applied on a monthly basis as against the
monthly Fixed Rent payable by Tenant in 2009. In the event the Fixed Rent
collected by Landlord relative to the 900 Secaucus Road Premises and/or the 915
Secaucus Road Premises as of December 31, 2008 is less than $2,532,786.00,
Tenant shall pay Landlord, within twenty (20) days of Landlord’s invoice
therefore, an amount which represents the shortfall (i.e. difference) between
the net Fixed Rent collected by Landlord from 900 Secaucus Road and 915 Secaucus
Road from the termination of either or both those Leases through December 31,
2008 and $2,532,786.00, up to a maximum amount of the Year One Excess Rent (the
“Shortfall Payment”).

(iii)                                                                              
As of December 31, 2009, Landlord will calculate whether the “net” Fixed Rent
collected by Landlord relative to either (or both) the 900 Secaucus Road

900 Secaucus Road Premises and the 915 Secaucus Road Premises and Five Dollars
($5.00) per square foot and assuming a Commencement Date of March 1, 2007 (i.e.,
34 months)]. The net Fixed Rent collected from the leasing of the 900 Secaucus
Road Premises and/or 915 Secaucus Road

48

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Premises from the termination of either or both of said Leases through
December 31, 2009 in excess of $3,914,306.00 shall be referred to as the “Year
Three Excess Rent.” Tenant shall be entitled to a credit as against the Fixed
Rent to be paid by Tenant under this Lease in Calendar Year 2010 equal to the
Year Three Excess Rent less any Year One Excess Rent and Year Two Excess Rent
previously credited, same to be amortized and applied on a monthly basis as
against the monthly Fixed Rent payable by Tenant in 2010. In the event the Fixed
Rent collected by Landlord relative to the 900 Secaucus Road Premises and/or the
915 Secaucus Road Premises as of December 31, 2009 is less than $3,914,306.00,
Tenant shall pay Landlord, within twenty (20) days of Landlord’s invoice
therefore,  an amount which is equal to the shortfall (i.e. difference) between

or both of those leases through December 31, 2010 exceeds Five Million Two
Hundred Ninety Five Thousand Eight Hundred and Twenty Six Dollars

900 Secaucus Road Premises and the 915 Secaucus Road Premises and Five Dollars
($5.00) per square foot and assuming a Commencement Date of March 1, 2007(i.e.,
46 months)]. The net Fixed Rent collected from the leasing of the 900 Secaucus
Road Premises and/or 915 Secaucus Road Premises from the termination of either
or both of said Leases through December 31, 2010 in excess of $5,295,826.00

a credit as against the Fixed Rent to be paid by Tenant under this Lease in
Calendar Year 2011 equal to the Year Four Excess Rent less any Year One Excess
Rent and Year Two Excess Rent and Year Three Excess Rent previously credited,
same to be amortized and applied on a monthly basis as against the monthly Fixed
Rent payable by Tenant in 2011. In the event the Fixed Rent collected by
Landlord relative to the 900 Secaucus Road Premises and/or the 915 Secaucus Road
Premises as of December 31, 2010 is less than $5,295,826.00, Tenant shall pay
Landlord, within twenty days of Landlord’s invoice therefore, an amount equal to
the shortfall between the net Fixed Rent collected by Landlord from the 900
Secaucus Road Premises and the 915 Secaucus Road Premises from the

Shortfall Payment previously made pursuant to subparagraphs (ii) and
(iii) above.

As of December 31, 2011, Landlord will calculate whether the “net” Fixed Rent
collected by Landlord relative to either (or both) the 900 Secaucus Road
Premises and the 915 Secaucus Road Premises from the termination date of either
or both of those leases through December 31, 2011 exceeds Six Million Six

the 915 Secaucus Road Premises from the termination of either or both of said
Leases through December 31, 2012 in excess of $6,792,473.00 shall be referred to
as the “Year Six Excess Rent.” Tenant shall be entitled to a credit as against
the Fixed Rent to be paid by Tenant under this Lease in year 2013 equal to the
Year Six Excess Rent less any Year One Excess Rent and Year Two Excess Rent and
Year Three Excess Rent and Year Four Excess Rent and Year Five Excess Rent
previously credited, same to be amortized and applied on a monthly basis as
against the monthly Fixed Rent payable by Tenant in 2013. In the event the Fixed
Rent collected by Landlord relative to the 900 Secaucus Road Premises and/or the
915 Secaucus Road Premises as of January 31, 2012 is less than $6,792,473.00,
Tenant shall pay Landlord, within twenty days of Landlord’s invoice therefore,
an amount equal to the shortfall between the net Fixed Rent collected by
Landlord from 900 Secaucus Road Premises and 915 Secaucus Road Premises from the
termination of either or both those Leases through January 31, 2012 and

the Year Two Excess Rent and the Year Three Excess Rent and the Year Four Excess
Rent and the Year Five Excess Rent less any Shortfall Payment previously made
pursuant to subparagraph (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above.

The “net” Fixed Rent as that term is utilized in this Article R.3 shall mean the
net Fixed Rent received by Hartz Mountain Associates after deduction for all
costs incurred by Hartz Mountain Associates in connection with such re-letting,
including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees and expenses, cost of work
to be performed or work allowance provided, and the value of any “free” rent
period (but not including brokerage fees). The amortization of such costs will
be calculated on a monthly basis over the Term of the Lease (not including any
options) at an annual interest rate of seven percent (7%). It is expressly
agreed that the Fixed Rent Credit shall only apply with respect to Excess Rents
received during the Rent Credit Period. Further, and notwithstanding anything
herein contained to the contrary, it is expressly agreed and understood by the
parties hereto that in no event shall the Fixed Rent Credit be such that the
Fixed Rent to be paid by Tenant under this Lease is less than the Fixed
Rent(s) per square foot of Floor Space of the Demised Premises set forth on the
Schedule of Fixed Rent “Floor Amount” detailed on Exhibit G annexed hereto (for
example, in the first year of the Term, the Rent Credit may not reduce the Fixed
Rent to be paid by Tenant below $5.00 per square foot of Floor Space. In year
two (2), the “Floor” will be $5.15 per square foot of Floor Space; in year three
(3), the “Floor” will be $5.30 per square foot of Floor Space; in year four (4),
the “Floor” will be $5.46 per square foot of Floor Space and in year five (5),
the “Floor” will be $5.63 per square foot of Floor Space.

R4.          Intentionally Omitted.

R5. Provided (i) Tenant is not then in default of this Lease, and (ii) Tenant
has not assigned this Lease (to other than a Permitted Assignee) or sublet the
Demised Premises, Tenant acknowledging and agreeing that the rights contained
herein are personal to the named Tenant (and any Permitted Assignee) (for
purposes of this Article R3, the term “Tenant” is intended to include any
“Permitted Assignee”), Landlord agrees that during the Term, prior to entering
into any new

51

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

lease with a prospective tenant for the remaining 37,299 square feet of Floor
Space in the Building (herein the “RFO Space”), Landlord shall first notify
Tenant in writing of the availability of such space and the terms upon which it
is prepared to lease such space (“Landlord’s RFO Notice”). It is agreed between
the parties hereto that the Term of the RFO Space shall run coterminously with
the term of the Lease for the Demised Premises and that the Fixed Rent for the
RFO Space shall be at the rate which is the greater of (i) FMV (as that term is
defined in Article R2 above) (with annual escalations comparable to those set
forth in Exhibit F to this Lease), or (ii) the then Fixed Rent being paid by
Tenant under this Lease (as same is annually escalated as set forth in Exhibit F
to this Lease). Tenant will have ten (10) business days from receipt of
Landlord’s RFO Notice to exercise its right to lease such space on the terms set
forth in Landlord’s RFO Notice. To the extent that Tenant rejects Landlord’s
offer and the offered RFO Space is not leased within six (6) months, or to the
extent that any business terms of the RFO Space, as stated in Landlord’s RFO
Notice, are materially modified, the RFO Space shall be required to be
re-offered to Tenant. If Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of its election
to enter into such lease as tenant for the RFO Space within the said ten
(10) business day period, Landlord shall deliver and Tenant shall execute a
modification of this Lease incorporating the RFO Space which was the subject of
Landlord’s RFO Notice into the Demised Premises. Time is of the essence with
respect to Tenant’s exercise of its right of first offer hereunder.

(b)  If Tenant shall not elect to lease the RFO Premises referred to in
Landlord’s Notice within the ten (10) business day period following Landlord’s
RFO Notice then, Landlord may thereafter enter into and deliver a lease for such
RFO Space free of the restrictions herein stated, without again being required
to offer the same to Tenant.

(c)  This right of first offer so granted to Tenant shall terminate and become
null and void upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

Exhibit C

Workletter

I.

A.            Landlord has provided to Tenant schematic architectural drawings
(the “Preliminary Architectural Drawings”) depicting a parking garage (the
“Parking Garage”) to be constructed by Landlord, or Tenant, as the case may be,
consistent with the provisions of this Exhibit C. The Preliminary Architectural
Drawings have been submitted to Tenant in order that Tenant might evaluate the
cost to construct the Parking Garage; it is expressly agreed and understood that
the Preliminary Architectural Drawings shall at all times remain the property of
Landlord and that should Tenant elect to construct the Parking Garage in
accordance with the provisions of this Exhibit C, then Tenant shall be required
to engage licensed professionals to prepare all necessary architectural and
engineering drawings and specifications (which drawings and specifications shall
be subject to Landlord’s prior review and approval) for the construction of the
Parking Garage.

B.            Within fourteen (14) days of date of full execution and delivery
of this Lease (the date of full execution and delivery of this Lease shall
hereinafter be referred to as the “Execution Date”), time being of the essence,
Tenant shall advise Landlord if Tenant requests any changes to the proposed
façade of the Parking Garage as depicted in the Preliminary Architectural
Drawings.

C.            On or prior to the date which is six (6) weeks from the Execution
Date, Landlord will deliver to Tenant a budget setting forth Landlord’s
estimated cost to design, engineer and construct the Parking Garage (inclusive
of a 2.5 % profit, overhead and administrative charge) as well as an estimate of
the cost to be incurred by Landlord to obtain all permits and approvals
necessary to construct the Parking Garage (“Landlord’s Budget). (The date that
Landlord delivers Landlord’s Budget to Tenant shall be hereinafter be referred
to as the “Landlord’s Budget Delivery Date”). It is expressly agreed and
understood by the parties hereto that the Landlord’s Budget represents a good
faith estimate of the cost to design, engineer and construct the Parking Garage
(as well as the cost of all permits and approvals necessary to construct the
Parking Garage); it is not intended to nor should Landlord’s Budget be construed
to represent the actual cost of the design, engineering and construction of the
Parking Garage (as well as the cost of all permits and approvals necessary to
construct the Parking Garage).

D.            On or prior to the date which is the later of (a) seven (7) days
from Landlord’s Budget Delivery Date or (b) seven (7) weeks from the Execution
Date, Tenant shall be obligated to advise Landlord, by notice to that effect,
whether (i) Tenant desires that Landlord construct the Parking Garage in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Exhibit C, or (ii) Tenant shall
construct the Parking Garage in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Exhibit C. Time shall be of the essence in connection with Tenant’s delivery of
notice in accordance with this paragraph; Tenant’s failure to so notify Landlord
within the seven (7) day period referenced herein shall be deemed to be an
election, by Tenant, that Landlord construct the Parking Garage.

E.             Regardless of the party that constructs the Parking Garage, the
following provisions shall apply:

53

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(i)                                     The Parking Garage will be engineered
and constructed consistent with the Preliminary Architectural Drawings. It is
intended that the Parking Garage will be a pre-cast concrete structure and
accommodate approximately 500 cars;

(ii)                                  The Parking Garage will be constructed in
the location depicted on the attached Exhibit C-1;

(iii)                               The Parking Garage will be constructed using
new materials (which materials will not contain asbestos or other
materials/substances that are considered hazardous or toxic by applicable Legal
Requirements) and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements.

F.             In the event Landlord constructs the Parking Garage, the
following shall apply:

(i)                                     Landlord shall warrant the construction
of the Parking Garage for a period of one (1) year from its completion. In the
event it is determined that there is a construction defect related to the
Landlord’s construction of Parking Garage during said one (1) year warranty
period, and such construction defect is not the result of the act, omission, or
negligence of Tenant, its agents, representatives, employees, or contractors,
then, Landlord shall repair such defect at Landlord’s sole cost and expense. In
the event such defect is determined to be the result of the act, omission or
negligence of Tenant, or its agents, representatives, employees or contractors,
Tenant shall repair such defect at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

(ii)                                  Landlord shall provide Tenant with a
construction schedule (the “Construction Schedule”) (a copy of which is annexed
hereto as Exhibit C-2) for the construction of the Parking Garage. During the
construction of the Parking Garage, Landlord shall advise Tenant if the overall
progress of the construction deviates significantly from the Construction
Schedule, and in such event, Landlord shall provide Tenant with updated
construction schedules, as necessary, to reflect any such change.

(iii)                               Tenant shall pay Landlord, as an Additional
Charge hereunder, all of Landlord’s hard and soft costs to design, engineer and
construct the Parking Garage (including, but not limited to, the cost and
expense incurred by Landlord to obtain all approvals necessary to construct the
Parking Garage; collectively, all said costs shall sometimes hereinafter be
referred to as the “Landlord’s Parking Garage Costs”). Landlord shall submit
invoices to Tenant for partial payments (and, ultimately, final payment) as
against the Landlord’s Parking Garage Costs based upon Landlord’s completion of
various milestone progress events set forth on Landlord’s Construction Payment
Schedule, a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit C-3. Those milestone
progress events are:  Notice to Proceed, Completion of Foundations, Completion
of Superstructures, and Completion of Construction. (For example, upon delivery
of Notice to Proceed, Tenant shall be invoiced for and shall pay Landlord 15% of
Landlord’s Parking Garage Costs; payment shall continue consistent with
Exhibit C-3). Tenant shall pay any such invoice within twenty (20)

54

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

days of receipt thereof. Tenant’s failure to make payment of any amounts due
under this Exhibit C shall be deemed a default of this Lease. In addition to any
rights and remedies to which Landlord shall be entitled under this Lease, Tenant
expressly agrees and acknowledges that Landlord’s damages for Tenant’s breach of
this provision shall include, but not be limited to, at Landlord’s option,
Landlord’s cost to either (i) complete construction of the Parking Garage
(inclusive of the 2.5% profit, overhead and administrative charge), or
(ii) remove the Parking Garage and restore the area where the Parking Garage was
being constructed to the condition that existed prior to the commencement of the
construction of the Parking Garage.

(iv)                              The parties agree that any material changes to
the design and/or scope of the Parking Garage as is otherwise set forth in the
Preliminary Architectural Drawings (with concomitant change in price, if any)
shall only be made by Change Order or similar such written document executed by
both Landlord and Tenant.

(v)                                 Upon execution and delivery of this Lease
(or prior to such time if Landlord so elects), Landlord shall proceed to obtain
the requisite site plan approval (the “Site Plan Approval”) for the construction
of the Parking Garage. In the event Landlord has not received Site Plan Approval
by the date which is ninety (90) days from the Execution Date, Tenant shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Lease (“Tenant’s First
Termination Option”) by delivery of written notice to Landlord to that effect on
or prior to the date which is ninety five (95) days from the Execution Date,
time being of the essence; in such event, but subject to the following sentence,
the rights and obligation of the parties under this Lease shall be null and void
and without further force and effect. Notwithstanding anything contained in the
previous sentence to the contrary, and notwithstanding the Tenant’s exercise of
Tenant’s First Termination Option, Landlord shall have the right to void
Tenant’s exercise of Tenant’s First Termination Option if Landlord provides
Tenant with documentation on or prior to the date which is one hundred (100)
days from the Execution Date, to the effect that (i) Landlord is proceeding
diligently to obtain the Site Plan Approval, and (ii) Landlord expects to obtain
Site Plan Approval within one hundred twenty (120) days from the Execution Date.
Should Landlord not be able to obtain Site Plan Approval within one hundred
twenty (120) days from the Execution Date, Tenant shall once again have the
right to terminate this Lease (“Tenant’s Second Termination Option”) by notice
to Landlord to that effect within one hundred twenty five (125) days from the
Execution Date (with no further right of extension by Landlord), time being of
the essence in connection with Tenant’s exercise of its rights hereunder. This
provision shall sometimes hereinafter be referred to as the “Site Plan
Contingency.” In the event (i) Tenant exercises Tenant’s First Termination
Option and Landlord does not exercise its right to void the First Termination
Option, or (ii) if  Landlord exercises its right to void Tenant’s First
Termination Option, and Landlord does not deliver Site Plan Approval to Tenant
within one hundred twenty (120) days of the Execution Date, such that Tenant
exercises Tenant’s Second Termination Option, (i.e. in either event, this Lease
becomes null and void) then the Lease Termination Agreements executed by and
between Landlord’s affiliate, Hartz Mountain Associates and Tenant with respect
to

55

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the 900 Secaucus Road Lease and the 915 Secaucus Road Lease shall be deemed
rescinded and rendered null and void, and the 900 Secaucus Road Lease and the
915 Road Lease shall be deemed in full force and effect. The parties shall
execute such documentation as is reasonably necessary to memorialize the
validity of the 900 Secaucus Road Lease and the 915 Secaucus Road Lease upon
request of either party. In the event Landlord delivers Site Plan Approval to
Tenant within ninety (90) days of the Execution Date (or 120 days from the
Execution Date, as the case may be consistent with this subparagraph v), the
Site Plan Contingency shall be deemed satisfied.

G.            It is anticipated that the construction of the Parking Garage
shall be completed by March 1, 2007. If the Parking Garage is not completed by
March 1, 2007, and Landlord is constructing the Parking Garage, Landlord agrees
to provide Tenant with access to parking spaces in the Harmon Cove Outlet Center
parking lot across the street from the Building until the Parking Garage has
been completed. If the Parking Garage is not completed by March 1, 2007, and
Tenant is constructing the Parking Garage, then, provided that Tenant is acting
in a diligent manner to construct and complete the Parking Garage, Landlord
agrees to provide Tenant with access to parking spaces in the Harmon Cove Outlet
Center parking lot across the street from the Building for the period up through
and including June 1, 2007, at which time Tenant shall no longer have access to
such spaces.

H.            In the event Tenant elects to construct the Parking Garage, same
shall be performed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. In such event, Landlord
shall have no obligation to build the Parking Garage and the Lease shall be
deemed amended accordingly. The construction of the Parking Garage by Tenant
shall be deemed to be an element of Tenant’s Work and as such, shall proceed in
accordance with Article 5.01(b)(i)) of the Lease, including, but not limited to,
Tenant’s compliance with the requirement that it submit plans and specifications
for the Parking Garage to Landlord for Landlord’s prior review and approval. On
or prior to the commencement of construction of the Parking Garage, Tenant shall
provide Landlord with a budget prepared by a licensed engineer and/or architect,
which budget shall set forth the Tenant’s cost to construct the Parking Garage,
and at Landlord’s request, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a Letter of
Credit, or other such security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord to cover the
cost of building the Parking Garage (the “Parking Garage Security”). In the
event Tenant fails to complete all or any portion of the Parking Garage, such
conduct shall be deemed a default of this Lease, and Landlord shall have
recourse to the Parking Garage Security (in addition to all other remedies
provided by this Lease and by law) in order that Landlord might, at its sole
discretion, either a) complete the construction of the Parking Garage, or b) to
remove the Parking Garage and restore the area where the Parking Garage was to
be constructed to its original condition. Upon satisfactory completion of the
Parking Garage (or removal of the Parking Garage and restoration of the area
within which it was to be constructed, as the case may be), Landlord shall
return the remaining Parking Garage Security, if any, to Tenant. In the event
Tenant elects to construct the Parking Garage, Tenant shall also be responsible
to pay Landlord for all hard and soft costs incurred by Landlord in connection
with the preliminary design and engineering of the Parking Garage [including,
but not limited to, the costs necessary to create the Preliminary Architectural
Drawings and the Landlord’s Budget (which shall include, but not be limited to,
the cost to conduct soil boring tests required to create Landlord’s Budget)], as
well as all reasonable costs incurred by Landlord to obtain the permits and
approvals,

56

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

including but not limited to, site plan approval, necessary to construct the
Parking Garage. Landlord shall submit an invoice for such costs and expenses,
accompanied by reasonable back-up documentation, after receiving notice that
Tenant intends to build the Parking Garage, and Tenant shall be obligated to pay
such charges within twenty (20) days of receipt of such invoice.

II.

Landlord shall provide Tenant with an allowance (the “Workletter Allowance”) in
the amount of Eighty Thousand Dollars ($80,000) as against Tenant’s cost to
ready the Demised Premises for its occupancy. Landlord shall pay Tenant the
Workletter Allowance, in whole or in part, upon receipt of invoices from Tenant
depicting work performed by Tenant in and to the Demised Premises (with
reasonable back up documentation in support of such expenditures) as well as
lien waivers from Tenant’s general contractor as well any
subcontractor(s) supplying goods or services in excess of $5000 forming part of
the subject invoice.

key. Additional keys for a tenant’s premises and toilet rooms shall be procured
only from Landlord who may make a reasonable charge therefor. Each tenant shall,
upon the termination of its tenancy, turn over to Landlord all keys of stores,
offices and toilet rooms, either furnished to, or otherwise procured by, such
tenant, and in the event of the loss of any keys furnished by Landlord such
tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost thereof.

15.           All removals, or the carrying in or out of any safes, freight,
furniture, packages, boxes, crates or any other object or matter of any
description must take place during such hours and in such elevators and in such
manner as Landlord or its agent may determine from time to time. The persons
employed to move safes and other heavy objects shall be reasonably acceptable to
Landlord and, if so required by law, shall hold a master rigger’s license.
Arrange­ments will be made by Landlord with any tenant for moving large
quantities of furniture and equipment into or out of the Building. All labor and

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

engineering costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any moving specified
in this rule, shall be paid by Tenant to Land­lord, on demand.

16.           Landlord reserves the right to inspect all objects and matter to
be brought into the Building and to exclude from the Build­ing all objects and
matter which violate any of these Rules and Regulations or this Lease. Landlord
may require any person leaving the Building with any package or other object or
matter to submit a pass, listing such package or object or matter, from the
tenant from whose premises the package or object or matter is being removed, but
the establishment and enlargement of such requirement shall not impose any
responsibility on Landlord for the protection of any tenant against the removal
of property from the premises of such tenant. Landlord shall in no way be liable
to any tenant for damages or loss arising from the admission, exclusion or
ejection of any person to or from the premises or the Building under the
provisions of this RULE or of RULE 2 hereof.

17.           No tenant shall occupy or permit any portion of its premises to be
occupied as an office for a public stenographer or public typist, or for the
possession, storage, manufacture, or sale of liquor, narcotics, tobacco in any
form, or as a barber, beauty or manicure shop, or as a school. No tenant shall
use its premises or any part thereof to be used for manufacturing, or the sale
at retail or auction of merchandise, goods or property of any kind.

18.           Intentionally omitted.

19.           Landlord shall have the right to prescribe the weight and position
of safes and other objects of excessive weight, and no safe or other object
whose weight exceeds the lawful load for the area upon which it would stand
shall be brought into or kept upon any tenant’s premises. If, in the judgment of
Landlord, it is necessary to distribute the concentrated weight of any heavy
object, the work involved in such distribution shall be done at the expense of
the tenant and in such a manner as Landlord shall determine.

20.           No machinery or mechanical equipment other than ordinary portable
business machines may be installed or operated in any tenant’s premises without
Landlord’s prior written consent, and in no case (even where the same are of a
type so excepted or as so consented to by Landlord) shall any machines or
mechanical equipment be so placed or operated as to disturb other tenants; but
machines and mechanical equipment which may be permitted to be installed and
used in a tenant’s premises shall be so equipped, installed and maintained by
such tenant as to prevent any disturbing noise, vibration or electrical or other
interference from being transmitted from such premises to any other area of the
Building.

21.           Landlord, its contractors, and their respective employees, shall
have the right to use, without charge therefor all light, power and water in the
premises of any tenant while cleaning or making repairs or alterations in the
premises of such tenant.

22.           No premises of any tenant shall be used for lodging or sleeping or
for any immoral or illegal purpose.

23.           The requirements of tenants will be attended to only upon
application at the office of the Building. Employees of Landlord shall not
perform any work or do anything outside of their regular duties, unless under
special instructions from Landlord.

24.           Canvassing, soliciting and peddling in the Building are prohibited
and each tenant shall cooperate to prevent the same.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

25.           No tenant shall cause or permit any unusual or objectionable odors
to emanate from its premises which would annoy other tenants or create a public
or private nuisance. No cooking shall be done in the premises of any tenant
except as is expressly permitted in such tenant’s Lease.

26.           Nothing shall be done or permitted in any tenant’s premises, and
nothing shall be brought into or kept in any tenant’s premises, which would
impair or interfere with any of the Building’s services or the proper and
economic heating, cleaning or other servicing of the Building or the premises,
or the use or enjoyment by any other tenant of any other premises nor shall
there be installed by any tenant any ventilating, air-conditioning, electrical
or other equip­ment of any kind which, in the judgment of Landlord, might cause
any such impairment or interference.

27.           No acids, vapors or other materials shall be discharged or
permitted to be discharged into the waste lines, vents or flues of the Building
which may damage them. The water and wash closets and other plumbing fixtures in
or serving any tenant’s premises shall not be used for any purpose other than
the purposes for which they were designed or constructed, and no sweepings,
rubbish, rags, acids or other foreign substances shall be deposited therein. All
damages resulting from any misuse of the fixtures shall be borne by the tenants
who, or whose servants, employees, agents, visitors or licensees shall have,
caused the same. Any cuspidors or containers or receptacles used as such in the
premises of any tenant or for garbage or similar refuse, shall be emptied, cared
for and cleaned by and at the expense of such tenant.

28.           All entrance doors in each tenant’s premises shall be left locked
and all windows shall be left closed by the tenant when the tenant’s premises
are not in use. Entrance doors shall not be left open at any time. Each tenant,
before closing and leaving its premises at any time, shall turn out all lights.

29.           Hand trucks not equipped with rubber tires and side guards shall
not be used within the Building.

30.           All windows in each tenant’s premises shall be kept closed, and
all blinds therein above the ground floor shall be lowered as reasonably
required because of the position of the sun, during the operation of the
Building air-conditioning system to cool or ventilate the tenant’s premises.

31.           Landlord reserves the right to rescind, alter or waive any rule or
regulation at any time prescribed for the Building when, in its judgment, it
deems it necessary, desirable or proper for its best interest and for the best
interests of the tenants, and no alteration or waiver of any rule or regulation
in favor of one tenant shall operate as an alteration or waiver in favor of any
other tenant. Landlord shall not be responsible to any tenant for the
non-observance or violation by any other tenant of any of the rules and
regulations at any time prescribed for the Building.
