    Bryan Hekemian, having an

for value received, hereby promises to pay to the order of FIRST REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST of
NEW JERSEY, successors and/or assigns (herein referred to as the "FREIT") at

Date"), the principal sum of Five hundred and Six Thousand Dollars and no
cents ($
506,000.00) or so much
thereof as shall be outstanding as of the Maturity Date, and to pay interest on
the unpaid principal amount hereunder as hereinafter set forth.

    


    (a)           Interest
on this Note shall be charged at a per annum rate (the “LIBOR
Rate”), equal to two hundred twenty-five (225) basis points in excess of
“LIBOR” (as
defined below), for the corresponding “LIBOR Interest
Period” (being periods of three (3) months).  No LIBOR Interest
Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date of this Note.  The Libor
Rate should be reset on each November 1, February 1, May 1 and August 1 during
the term.

    


    (b)           (i)           For
the purposes hereof, any interest period to which a LIBOR Rate applies is
referred to as a “LIBOR Interest
Period”, and the loan, or any part thereof, when bearing a LIBOR Rate, is
referred to herein as a A
LIBOR
Loan.

    


    (ii)          The
term "LIBOR" or
“LIBOR
Rate” shall mean, as applicable to any LIBOR Loan, the rate per annum as
determined on the basis of the offered rates for deposits in U.S. dollars, for a
period of time comparable to such LIBOR Loan as reported in the Wall Street Journal on the
business day closest to the day prior to the reset date.

     

    (c)           LIBOR
shall be adjusted each November 1, February 1, May 1 and August 1 during the
term of this Note  (such day being referred to herein as a “Reset
Date”) (but if any day is not a Business Day, then the first succeeding
day that is a Business Day shall instead apply.

    


    (d)          The
Borrower shall have the right to repay Loan without penalty.

    


    (e)           In
the event Borrower's employment by Hekemian & Co., Inc. shall terminate for
any reason, then this Note shall be repaid within 90 days of demand therefor by
FREIT.

    


    1.         
  The Borrower shall pay to FREIT interest upon any unpaid balance on
this Note, which interest shall be due and payable to FREIT on November 1,
February 1, May 1, and August 1 during the term in arrears, on the outstanding
principal balance, commencing on November 1, February 1, May 1, and August 1
during the term of the month.  Interest will be charged on all sums
due to FREIT even after a default or judgment.  Each payment made to
FREIT, when paid, shall be applied first to the payment of all interest, charges
and fees accrued and unpaid, and the balance thereof to payment on account of
principal.  Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day
year and the actual number of days elapsed.  Notwithstanding anything
hereinabove to the contrary, any

    interest
accrued from the date of the Note through October 31, 2006 shall be due and
payable on November 30, 2006.  Pursuant to the Pledge and Security
Agreement entered into between Borrower and FREIT, all refinancing proceeds,
distributions, and other cash flow paid to FREIT as assignee of Borrower’s
Membership Interest in Rotunda 100, LLC, shall be applied first to accrued and
unpaid interest, charges and fees, and then to any outstanding
principal.

    


    2.        
   On the Maturity Date there shall be due and payable all unpaid
principal together with all accrued and unpaid interest, charges, and fees and
all other sums computed in accordance with this Note or otherwise payable
pursuant to the Loan Documents.  If the Maturity Date is not a
business day, this final payment shall be due and payable on the preceding
business day.

    


    3.        
   In the event any payment of interest or principal is received
by FREIT more than ten (10) days after the date due, the Borrower shall, to the
extent permitted by law, pay FREIT a late charge of five (5%) percent of the
overdue payment.

    


    4.          
 To the extent permitted by law, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, as defined herein the rate of interest on the unpaid principal balance
shall, at the option of FREIT be five  (5%) percent in excess of the
rate of interest provided herein (the "Default
Rate").  The Borrower acknowledges that:  (i) such
additional rate is a material inducement to FREIT to make the loan; (ii) FREIT
would not make the loan in the absence of the agreement of the Borrower to pay
such additional rate; (iii) such additional rate represents compensation for
increased risk to FREIT that the loan will not be repaid; and (iv) such rate is
not a penalty and represents a reasonable estimate of (a) the cost to FREIT in
allocating its resources (both personnel and financial) to the ongoing review,
monitoring, administration and collection of the loan and (b) compensation to
FREIT for losses that are difficult to ascertain.

    


    5.          
 Any one or more of the following shall constitute an event of default
under this Note (each an “Event of
Default”” and collectively “Events of
Default”“):

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (a)

            	
              If
      default shall be made in the payment of any amount payable under this Note
      when and as the same shall become due and
  payable.

            


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (b)

            	
              If
      an Event of Default as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement
      hereinafter defined shall occur.

            


    

    


    6.           
 If any Event of Default shall have occurred, FREIT may:

    


    (a)           declare
the entire unpaid principal balance, together with all accrued and unpaid
interest, charges, fees and all other sums under this Note to be due and
payable, whereupon this Note shall become forthwith due and payable as to
principal, interest, charges, fees and all other sums due hereunder, without
presentment, demand, protest, or other notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein
notwithstanding;

    (b)           collect
interest on any overdue principal, interest, charges, fees and other sums owing
under this Note at the highest rate set forth in this Note or at the Default
Rate, whichever is higher;

    


    (c)           sell
all or part of any collateral given to secure this Note at public or private
sale, with such notice, if any, as may be required by law, all such notice being
hereby waived to the extent permitted by law;

    


    (d)           institute
proceedings for the complete or partial foreclosure of any property securing the
within Note; and/or

    


    (e)           commence
any other proceedings or steps to protect or enforce its rights in any sequence
determined by FREIT.

    


    7.          
 The Borrower hereby grants to FREIT, a continuing lien, security interest
and right of setoff as security for all liabilities and obligations to FREIT,
whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against the Borrowers
Membership Interest in Rotunda 100, LLC, and as set forth in a certain Pledge
and Security Agreement of even date herewith given by Borrower to
FREIT.  At any time without demand or notice (any such notice being
expressly waived by the Borrower), FREIT may set off the same or any part
thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of the Borrower even
though unmatured regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing
this Note.  ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE FREIT TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS

    8.        
   No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to FREIT
is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and every
such remedy shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to every other remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by
statute.  No delay or omission of FREIT to exercise any right or power
accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power, or
shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Note may be
exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by
FREIT.  Nothing in this Note contained shall affect the obligation of
the Borrower or any guarantor or endorser to pay the principal of and interest
on this Note in the manner and at the time and place herein
expressed.

    


    9.

the time for payment of this Note; (b) alter any other term of this Note by
agreement with the Borrower; (c) release, settle or compromise with any other
party liable for the payment hereof; and/or (d) release, or substitute for, any

by any party hereto; and any renewal and/or modification document required by
FREIT and executed by the Borrower shall be deemed consented to by all such
parties without any requirement that any such party execute any such
document.  The Borrower and all guarantors, endorsers, sureties, and
others liable hereunder in any capacity

proceeding, or this Note be placed in the hands of attorneys for collection
after default, the Borrower agrees to pay, in addition to the principal and
interest due and payable hereon, all costs of collecting this Note, including
