Purchaser's choice authorized to do business in the State of New Jersey, subject
to the following exceptions which shall be deemed "Permitted Exceptions":

      a. Laws, regulations or ordinances of federal, state, county or local
      entities or agencies having jurisdiction over the Premises, provided same
      do not unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Premises
      for Purchaser's intended Use, as described in Paragraph 5 below.

      b. Easements, covenants, and restrictions of record, provided the same
      have not been violated; would not render title to the Premises not good or

      Intended Use of the Premises.

      c. Such state of facts as would be shown on an accurate survey of the
      Premises, provided such facts do not render title to the Premises not good
      or unmarketable, would not unreasonably interfere with Purchaser's
      Intended continued Use of the Premises, nor would reveal encroachments
      unto the Premises from adjoining properties or from the Premises onto
      adjoining properties.

3.2. Within thirty (30) days from the date hereof, Purchaser shall procure a

and Purchaser's title company. Seller shall be entitled to remove such
non-Permitted Exceptions (i) by obtaining the Final Order (as hereinafter
defined) authorizing the sale of the Premises free and clear of such
non-Permitted Exceptions on notice to the holder of such non-Permitted Exception
based on a legally cognizable ground; or (ii) otherwise. In the event Seller

conditions and provisions of this Paragraph are hereafter referred to as

such entry. Such insurance shall contain provisions covering Purchaser's
contractual indemnification obligations under subparagraph 15.1 above and
appropriate provisions waiving any rights of subrogation. The amount of
insurance required of or maintained by Purchaser shall in no way limit the
responsibility of Purchaser as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

16. ISRA ENVIRONMENTAL ESCROW. At closing, Three Million Dollars and no cents
($3,000,000.00) from the purchase price shall be escrowed with Purchaser's
attorney to be utilized only for the purpose of obtaining an ISRA or similar
site-wide "no further action letter", which $3,000,000.00 may be established as
a fully funded trust and utilized as a remediation funding source posted with
NJDEP. This escrow is in addition to whatever amount of money remains of the Two
Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($280,000.00) paid to NJDEP in February 2002

Deposit, the balance remaining shall be distributed as directed by the
Bankruptcy Court.

proceedings, terminate this Agreement in the event the lands condemned equal to
or exceed ten (10%) percent of the acreage of the Premises or in the event that
direct access to Lakewood-Farmingdale Road is denied. In the event Purchaser
does not elect to terminate this Agreement, then any award in condemnation
and/or unpaid claims and rights in connection with such condemnation shall be
assigned to Purchaser at Closing, or if paid to Seller prior thereof, shall be
credited against the unpaid balance of the Purchase Price due at Closing. If
Purchaser determines not to terminate this Agreement, Seller shall not adjust or
settle any condemnation awards without the prior written approval of Purchaser,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall allow Purchaser to
cooperatively participate with Seller in all proceedings.

that within ten (10) days from the date hereof, it shall deliver to Purchaser
copies of its title insurance policy, survey, deed and other closing documents

Premises contemplated by this Contract is not closed because of the Purchaser's
default under any substantial material term hereunder the Deposit plus accrued
interest, if any, shall be paid over to the Seller and shall constitute Seller's

any further liability.

reports and the DEP Remedial Investigation Workplan and leases, it has few
relevant documents about the Premises.

a building or other real property that they become a part of it. These items are
called fixtures and are included in the sale. There is no personal property

      Purchaser which consent shall be reasonably granted and shall not be
      unreasonably withheld.

35. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES. At the closing Seller will deliver to Purchaser a
written assignment, duly signed, assigning to Purchaser all of Seller's right,

Purchaser, and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further liability to
the other.

39. EXCULPATION OF ESCROWEE. There shall be two Escrow Agents regarding this
transaction. The attorney for Seller shall be the Escrow Agent for the two

withheld from the closing proceeds (See Paragraph 16).

39.1. The escrow funds shall be held and disbursed by the Escrow Agent in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


<PAGE>

39.2. If a demand or request is made upon the Escrow Agent for the payment or
delivery of funds, the Escrow Agent shall give notice to the other parties of
such demand. If a notice of objection to the proposed payment is not received
from the other party within ten (10) business days after the giving of notice by
the Escrow Agent, time being of the essence, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized
to deliver the funds plus accrued interest to the party who made the demand. If
Escrow Agent receives a notice of objection within said period, or if, for any
other reason Escrow Agent in good faith elects not to deliver the funds, then
Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the funds plus accrued interest and
thereafter pay it to the party entitled when Escrow Agent receives (a) notice
from the objecting party withdrawing the objection, or (b) notice signed by both
parties directing disposition of the funds or (c) a final, non-appealable
judgment or order of a court with competent jurisdiction.

39.3. In the event of any dispute or doubt as to the genuineness of any document
or signature, or uncertainty as to Escrow Agent's duties, then Escrow Agent
shall have the right to either continue to hold the funds in Escrow or pay the
funds plus accrued interest into court pursuant to relevant statute.

39.4. The Escrow Agent shall hold the funds and shall have no liability
hereunder except for actions taken by it in bad faith and the parties hereto do
hereby jointly and severally indemnify, defend (including paying legal fees and
costs) and agree to hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against any claims,
losses or liabilities of whatsoever nature hereunder, including, but without
limitation, reasonable counsel fees and costs in the event of the assertion of
any claims against it. The parties agree that in the event of any dispute as to
any funds held by any Escrow Agent in connection herewith, the Escrow Agent
shall be and is hereby authorized to tender the funds and any other funds into a
court of competent jurisdiction within the State of New Jersey and to abide by
the final non-appealable judgment thereof. In the event any such proceedings are
required the parties shall be jointly and severally responsible for all legal
fees, costs and expenses which may be incurred by Escrow Agent which the Escrow
Agent may deduct from the escrow. The parties agree that, notwithstanding their
service in the role as Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agents do and may continue to
represent the parties as legal counsel in connection with the subject matter of
the Agreement and otherwise.

40. NO PRESUMPTION. This Agreement has been fully reviewed and negotiated by the
parties and their respective attorneys and, therefore, any presumption of
resolving ambiguities against the drafter shall not apply.

41. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement can be signed in any number of counterparts
with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same
instrument.
