premium or charges for insurance on any other portion of the Property. Tenant
shall not obstruct or permit the obstruction of any street or sidewalk. Tenant
shall, at its own cost and expense, remove or cause to be removed the trash and

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

        Tenant shall have the right from time to time and at any time during the
Basic Term of this Lease, at its sole cost and expense and without any approval
by Landlord being required (except as set forth below), to make only
non-structural interior alterations and changes, and structural alterations

and authorizations of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction; and

        (b) all alterations shall be made in good and workmanlike manner and in
compliance with all applicable permits, ordinances, regulations and laws; and

        (c) if an alternative will substantially decrease the amount of square

specifications therefor to Landlord at least twenty (20) days prior to the
commencement of construction thereof; and

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

        If, because of any act or omission of Tenant, any mechanic's or other

        Nothing in the Lease shall imply or impose any duty on Landlord to do
any work which Tenant is required to perform under this Lease and the
performance thereof by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of any default by
Tenant respecting such work.

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

        Until the termination of this Lease, title to the equipment, fixtures,
furnishings and all other items installed by Tenant in the Demised Premises or

<PAGE>

    18. INSURANCE.
        ----------

        (a) Tenant, at its sole expense, shall maintain for the mutual benefit
of Landlord and Tenant insurance covering the Demised Premises against loss or
damage by fire and such risks as are customarily included in extended coverage
endorsements attached to fire insurance policies covering property in the
Township of Moorestown, State of New Jersey, in an amount equal to the
replacement cost of the Building of which the Demised Premises is a part.


        (b) Tenant, at its sole expense, shall maintain, for the mutual benefit
of Landlord and Tenant, comprehensive general public liability insurance against
claims for bodily injury, death or property damage occurring in, on or about the
Demised Premises and any adjoining sidewalk or curb (including without
limitation, bodily injury, death or property damage resulting directly or
indirectly from the construction of any improvements and any other charge,
alteration, improvement, repair, construction or reconstruction) with minimum
limits of One Million ($1,000,000.00) Dollars for bodily injury or death to any
one person, Five Million ($5,000,000.00) Dollars for bodily injury or death to
any number of persons arising out of one accident, and Five Hundred Thousand
($500,000.00) Dollars for property damage.

        (c) Tenant shall not carry any separate insurance of the same character
required under this Article 18 unless Landlord shall be named as an insured with
loss payable as herein provided.

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

        (d) if requested, Tenant shall add Landlord's mortgages as additional
insureds to all policies required to be carried under this Article 18.

        (e) The insurance required under this Article 18 shall be maintained
under valid and enforceable policies issued by insurance companies of recognized
responsibility doing business in the State of New Jersey. Tenant may carry the
insurance required under this Article 18 under a blanket policy covering the
Demised Premises as well as other properties.

        (f) Each policy required under this Article 18 shall contain an
agreement that it will not be cancelled or modified without at least thirty (30)
days prior notice to Landlord and any mortgages of Landlord and that no omission
or negligence of Tenant will result in forfeiture of Landlord's insurance.

        (g) Each of the parties hereto hereby releases the other, to the extent
of the releasing party's insurance coverage, from any and all liability for any
loss or damage which may be inflicted upon the property of such party even if
such loss or damage shall be brought about by the fault or negligence of the


                                      -14-
<PAGE>

other party, its agents or employees; provided, however, that this release shall
be effective only with respect to loss or damage occurring during such time as
the appropriate policy of insurance shall contain a clause to the effect that
this release shall not effect said policy or the right of the insured to recover
thereunder. If any policy does not permit such a waiver, and if the party to
benefit therefrom requests that such waiver be obtained, the other party agrees
to obtain an endorsement to its insurance policies permitting such waiver of
subrogation if it is available and if such policies do not provide therefor. If
an additional premium is charged for such waiver, the party benefitting
therefrom, if it desires to have the waiver, agrees to pay to the other the
amount of such additional premium promptly upon being billed therefor.

    19. FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY.
        -----------------------

        In the event of damage to the Demised Premises by fire or other
casualty, Landlord shall at its expense cause the damage be repaired to a
condition as nearly as practicable to that existing prior to the damage, with
reasonable promptness and diligence. Landlord shall not, however, be obligated
to repair, restore or rebuild any of Tenant's property or any alterations or
additions made by Tenant. To the extent and for the time that the Demised


                                      -15-
<PAGE>


Premises are rendered untenantable by a casualty, the Basic Rent shall
proportionately abate. In the event the damage shall involve the Property
generally and shall be so extensive that Landlord shall decide not to repair or
rebuild the Property, or if available insurance proceeds are insufficient to
repair or rebuild the damage, or if any mortgagee of the Property shall not
permit the application of adequate insurance proceeds for repair or restoration,
or if the casualty shall not be of a type insured against under standard fire
policies with extended type coverage, this Lease shall, at the option of
Landlord, exercisable by written notice to Tenant given within ninety (90) days
after Landlord is notified of the extent of the casualty, be terminated as of
the date specified in such notice (which shall not be more than sixty (60) days
thereafter) and the Basic Rent (taking into account any abatement as aforesaid)
shall be adjusted proportionately as of the termination date and Tenant shall
thereupon promptly vacate the Demised Premises.

    20. CONDEMNATION OR EMINENT DOMAIN.
        -------------------------------

        (a) Total or Partial Taking. In the event of exercise of the power of
eminent domain whereby:

            (1) such portion of the Property is taken that access to the Demised
Premises is permanently impaired thereby and reasonable alternate access is not
provided by Landlord within a time period which is reasonable under the
circumstances; or

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

            (2) all or substantially all of the Demised Premises or the Property
is taken; or

            (3) less than substantially all of the Property is taken but 
Landlord, acting in good faith, determines that it is economically unfeasible to
continue to operate the uncondemned portion of the Property as a commercial
facility; or

            (4) ten per cent (10%) or more of the actual office building and
distribution center is taken, but Tenant, acting in good faith, determines that
because of such taking it is economically unfeasible to continue to conduct its
business in the uncondemned portion of the Demised Premises, then in the case of
(1) or (2), either party, and in the case of (3), Landlord, and in the case of
(4), Tenant, shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date when
possession of that part which was taken is required to be delivered or
surrendered to the condemning authority; and in such case all Basic Rent and
other charges shall be adjusted to the date of termination. A "taking" as such
term is used in this Section 20 shall include a transfer of title or of any
interest in the Property by deed or other instrument in settlement of or in lieu
of transfer by operation of law incident to condemnation proceedings. 


                                      -17-
<PAGE>


        (b) Temporary Taking. Notwithstanding anything hereinabove provided, in
the event of a taking of only the right to possession of the Demised Premises
for a fixed period of time or for the duration of an emergency or other
temporary condition, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect
without any abatement of Basic Rent or additional rent, but the amounts payable
by the condemnor with respect to any period of time prior to the expiration or
sooner termination of this Lease shall be paid by the condemnor to Landlord and
the condemnor shall be considered a subtenant of Tenant. If the amounts payable
hereunder by the condemnor are paid in monthly installments, Landlord shall
apply the amount of such installments, or as much thereof as may be necessary
for the purpose, toward the amount of Basic Rent and/or additional rent due from
Tenant for the period, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord any deficiency between
the monthly amount thus paid by the condemnor and the amount due from Tenant.

        (c) Tenant's Waiver. Regardless of whether this Lease shall terminate
Tenant shall have no right to participate or share in any condemnation claim,
damage award or settlement in lieu thereof with respect to any taking of any


                                      -18-
<PAGE>


nature; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be precluded from claiming or
receiving payment for Tenant's relocation and moving expenses as may be
permitted under applicable law so long as the amount of same does not reduce the
award which Landlord is entitle to receive.

    21. INDEMNIFICATION OF LANDLORD AND RELEASE.
        ---------------------------------------

        (a) Tenant agrees to indemnify and save harmless Landlord from and
against any and all claims by or behalf of any person or persons, firm or firms,
corporation or corporations, and any other entity arising from the occupancy,
conduct, operation or management of the Demised Premises or from any work or
thing whatsoever done or which was not done in and on the Demised Premises, or
arising from any breach or default on the part of Tenant in the performance of
any covenant or agreement on the part of Tenant to be performed pursuant to the
terms of this Lease, or under the law, or arising from any act, neglect or
negligence of Tenant, or any to its agents, contractors, servants, employees, or
licensees, or arising from any accident, injury or damage whatsoever caused to
any person, firm or corporation occurring during the term of this Lease, whether
or not such event results from a condition which existed prior to the execution
of this Lease and whether or not such event results in the termination of this
Lease by reason of damage to or destruction of the Demised Premises, in any


                                      -19-
<PAGE>


portion of the Demised Premises, and from and against all costs, expenses and
liabilities incurred in connection with any such claim or action or proceeding
brought thereon (including without limitation the fees of attorneys,
investigators and experts).

        (b) Landlord shall not be held responsible for, and is hereby expressly
relieved from, any and all liability by reason of any injury, loss or damage to
persons or property in or about the Demised Premises or the Property, whether
the same be due to fire, breakage, leakage, water flow, steam, gas, use, misuse,
hatches, openings, defective construction or physical conditions anywhere in the
New Building, failure of water supply, or light or power, defects in electrical
wiring, plumbing or other equipment or mechanism, wind, lightening, storm or any
other cause whatsoever whether the loss, injury or damages be to the person or
property of Tenant or any other person.

    22. CURING TENANT'S DEFAULTS.
        -------------------------

        If Tenant shall be in default in the performance of any of its
obligations under this Lease, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to do
so), in addition to any other rights it may have under this Lease, in law or
equity, and after written notice to Tenant, except in case of emergency, cure
such default on behalf of Tenant, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon
demand for any sums paid or costs incurred by Landlord in curing such default,

                                      -20-
<PAGE>


including interest at a rate of interest per annum equal to the announced prime
rate of Fidelity Bank for unsecured short term loans (the Default Rate"), from
the respective dates of Landlord's making of the payments and incurring of the
costs, on all sums advanced by Landlord as aforesaid, which sums and costs,
together with interest thereon, shall be deemed additional rent hereunder and
shall be payable upon demand.

    23. DEFAULT PROVISIONS.
        -------------------

        This Lease and the term and estate hereby granted are subject to the
limitation that:

        (a) Whenever Tenant shall default in the payment of any installment of
rent or of any other sum payable by Tenant to Landlord and Tenant shall fail to
pay the same within ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord; except
that Landlord shall not be required to give more than four (4) such notices in
any consecutive twelve month period in which event the failure to pay the same
shall be a default without such notice if payment is not made within ten (10)
days after the date upon which the same ought to be paid; or

herein contained or contrary to any of the covenants, agreements, terms or
provisions of this Lease, or shall fail in the keeping or performance of any of
the covenants, agreements, terms or provisions contained in this Lease which on
the part or behalf of Tenant are to be kept or performed and Tenant shall fail
to cure the same within twenty (20) days after Landlord shall have given to
Tenant a written notice specifying the same; provided, if it is of such a nature
that it cannot be cured within such twenty (20) day period, if Tenant shall have
failed to commence the cure within such twenty (20) day period and thereafter to
diligently and continually prosecute the cure until fully corrected; or

        (c) Whenever an involuntarily petition shall be filed against Tenant
under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or under the reorganization provisions of
any law or like import, or a receiver of or for Tenant or the property of Tenant

Demised Premises; then, and in addition to any other rights or remedies Landlord
may have under this Lease, at law, or in equity, Landlord shall have the

            (1) To accelerate the whole or any part of the rent for the entire
unexpired balance of the term of this Lease, as well as all charges, payments,
costs and expenses herein agreed to be paid by Tenant, and any rent or other
charges, payments, costs and expenses if so accelerated shall, in addition to
any and all installments of rent already due and payable and in arrears, and/or
any other charges or payment herein reserved, included or agreed to be treated
or collected as rent and/or any other charges, expense or costs herein agreed to

                                      -23-
<PAGE>

            (2) To re-enter the Demised Premises and remove all persons and all 
or any property therefrom by summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable
action or proceeding at law, without being liable to indictment, prosecution or
damages therefor, and repossess and enjoy the Demised Premises, together with
all additions, alterations and improvements. Upon recovering possession of the
Demised Premises by reason of or based upon or arising out of a default on the
part of Tenant, Landlord may, at Landlord's option, either terminate this Lease
or make such alterations and repairs as may be necessary in order to relet the
Demised Premises and relet the Demised Premises or any part or parts thereof,
for a term or terms which may at Landlord's option be less than or exceed the
period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this
Lease and at such rent or rents and upon such other terms and conditions as in
Landlord's sole discretion may seem advisable and to such person or persons as
may in Landlord's discretion seem best; upon each such reletting all rents
received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied: first, to the payment
of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord;
second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such


                                      -24-
<PAGE>

reletting, including brokerage fees and attorney's fees and all costs of such
alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder;
and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of
future rent as it may become due and payable hereunder. If such rentals received
from such reletting during any month shall be less than that to be paid during
that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to
Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry
or taking possession of the Demised Premises or the making of alterations and/or
improvements thereto or the reletting thereof shall be construed as an election
on the part of Landlord to terminate this Lease unless written notice of such
intention be given to Tenant. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way
whatsoever for failure to relet the Demised Premises or, in the event that the
Demised Premises or any part or parts thereof are relet, for failure to collect
the rent thereof under such reletting. Notwithstanding any such reletting
without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this
Lease for such previous breach.

<PAGE>

            (3) To terminate this Lease and the term hereby created without any
right on the part of Tenant to waive the forfeiture by payment of any sum due or
by other performance of any condition, term or covenant broken. Whereupon
Landlord shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any and all sums and
damages for violation of Tenant's obligations hereunder in existence at the time
of such termination, damages for Tenant's default in an amount equal to the
amount of the rent reserved for the balance of the term of this Lease, as well
as all other charges, payments, costs and expenses herein agreed to be paid by
Tenant, all discounted at the rate of six (6%) percent per annum to their then
present worth, which amount shall be immediately due and payable from Tenant to
Landlord. 

            (4) No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord
is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy herein or by law or in
equity provided, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to every other
right or remedy given herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
by statute.

            (5) No waiver by Landlord of any breach by Tenant of any of Tenant's
obligations, agreements or covenants herein shall be a waiver of any subsequent
breach or of any obligation, agreement or covenant, nor shall any forbearance by
Landlord to seek a remedy for any breach by Tenant be a waiver by Landlord of
any rights and remedies with respect to such or any subsequent breach.
