for the preservation of good order therein, which rules, when so made and notice
thereof given to the Tenant, shall have the same force and effect as if
originally made a part of this Lease.
17. DAMAGE CAUSE.
17.1. If during the term hereof the Leased Premises shall be
partially damaged (as distinguished from "substantially damaged", as that term
is hereinafter defined) by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall immediately
notify Landlord, and provided such damage is not caused by Tenant and subject to

proceeds, Landlord shall proceed with all reasonable dispatch to repair or
rebuild the
Leased Premises to substantially their condition at the time of such damage or
destruction (subject, however, to zoning laws and building codes then in
existence), but Landlord shall not be responsible for any delay which may result
from any cause beyond the Landlord's reasonable control. Landlord shall not have
any obligation to repair or restore improvements, fixtures (including trade
fixtures), floor coverings, furnishings or decorative features furnished by
Tenant.
17.3. If Landlord's right of termination is exercised, this
Lease and the term hereof shall cease and come to an end as of the date of said
notification of election.
17.4. The terms "substantially damaged" and "substantial

Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit, rebate, or adjustment in the Basic
Rent or Additional Rent, unless and to the extent of rent abatement insurance
proceeds received by Landlord.

18.1. If the whole of the premises shall be condemned or taken
either permanently or temporarily for any public or quasi-public use or purpose,
under any statute or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu

from the date when possession is taken thereunder pursuant to such proceeding or
purchase and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any
unexpired term of said Lease, and shall release unto Landlord any such claim it
may have against the condemnor. In the event a portion only of the Leased
Premises shall be so taken Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease from the
date when possession is taken thereunder pursuant to such proceeding or purchase
or Landlord may elect to repair and restore, at its own expense, the portion not
taken and this Lease shall remain in effect but the rent shall be adjusted
accordingly.

20.2. Landlord may accelerate all Basic rent and Additional rent

20.3. Landlord, at its option, may serve notice upon Tenant that
this Lease and the then unexpired term hereof shall cease and expire and become
absolutely void on the date specified in such notice, to be not less than five
(5) days after the date of such notice without any right on the part of the
Tenant to save the forfeiture by payment of any sum due or by the performance of
any term, provision, covenant, agreement or condition broken; and, thereupon and
at the expiration of the time limit in such notice, this Lease and the term
hereof granted, as well as the right, title and interest of the Tenant

this Lease. Thereupon, Tenant shall immediately quit and surrender to Landlord
the Leased Premises, and Landlord may enter into and repossess the Leased

locks, without being liable to any prosecution for said re-entry or the use of
such force, and, without terminating this Lease, at any time and from time to
time to relet the Leased Premises or any part or parts thereof for the account
of Tenant or otherwise, receive and collect the rents therefor, applying the
same first to the payment of such expenses as Landlord may have paid, assumed or
incurred in recovering possession of the Leased Premises, including costs,
expenses and attorneys' fees, and for placing the same in good order and
condition or preparing, altering or repairing the same for reletting, and all
other expenses, commissions and charges, including attorneys' fees and
brokerage, paid, assumed or incurred by Landlord in connection with reletting
the Leased Premises, and then to the fulfillment of the covenants of Tenant.
20.5. Landlord shall have the right, as agent for Tenant, to take
possession of any furniture or fixtures of Tenant found upon the Leased Premises
after taking possession of same pursuant to this Section and sell the same at
any private or public sale and apply the proceeds to any amount due Landlord.
Tenant waives any notice, execution or levy in connection therewith.
20.6. Landlord shall have the right of injunction, in the event
of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of the agreements, conditions,
covenants or terms hereof, to restrain the same and the right to invoke any
remedy allowed by law or in equity, whether or not other remedies, indemnity or
reimbursements are herein provided, and if the Landlord shall become compelled
to commence any action or proceeding prior to such default being remedied by the
Tenant, all sums paid by the Landlord for expenses of any such action or
proceeding, including reasonable counsel fees, shall be paid by the Tenant to
the landlord on demand and may be collectable by Landlord as rent hereunder.
20.7. Landlord may retain, as partial damages, any Basic Rent,
Additional Rent, Security Deposit, or monies received by it from Tenant or
others on behalf of Tenant.
20.8. No act or thing done by Landlord shall be deemed to be an
acceptance of Tenant's surrender of the Leased Premises, unless Landlord shall
execute a written agreement of surrender with Tenant. Tenant's liability
hereunder shall not be terminated by the execution of a new lease of the Leased
Premises by Landlord. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, upon demand, the amount
of damages herein provided after the amount of such damages for any month shall
have been ascertained. Separate actions may be maintained each month by Landlord
against Tenant to recover the damages then due, without waiting until the end of
the term to determine the aggregate amount of such damages. Tenant hereby
expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under present or
future laws in the event of the eviction of Tenant or Tenant being dispossessed
for any cause, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Leased
Premises by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants or
conditions of this Lease.
21. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; EXPENSES.
21.1. All rights and remedies of Landlord herein shall be
cumulative, and none shall exclude any other right or remedy allowed by law. The
failure of Landlord to insist in any one or more instance upon a strict
performance of any covenant of this Lease or to exercise any option or right
herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the
future of any such covenant, right or option, but the same shall remain in full
force and effect. For the purpose of any suit brought or based hereon, this
Lease shall be construed to be a divisible contract, to the end that successive
actions may be maintained on this Lease as successive periodic sums which mature
hereunder.
21.2. Tenant shall pay, upon demand, all of the Landlord's costs,
charges, and expenses, including the fees of counsel, agents, and others
retained by Landlord, incurred in enforcing Tenants' obligations and/or
Landlord's rights hereunder.
22. USE OF SECURITY DEPOSIT.
22.1. In the event of a Default by Tenant in respect any of the
terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease, Landlord may use, apply or retain
the whole or any part of the Security Deposit to the extent required for the
payment of any Basic Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum 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 the terms, covenants
or conditions of this Lease, including but not limited to, any damages or
deficiency accrued before or after summary proceedings or other re-entry by
Landlord.
22.2. In the event of a sale or lease of the Parcel, Landlord
shall have the right to transfer the Security Deposit to the vendee or lessee,
as the case may be, and Landlord shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all
liability for the return of such Security Deposit. Tenant agrees to look to the
new landlord solely for the return of the Security Deposit. It is agreed that
the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the
Security Deposit to a new landlord. Tenant further covenants that it will not
assign or encumber or attempt to assign and encumber the Security Deposit and
that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such
assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.
23. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Tenant shall, from time to time, upon not
less than ten (10) days prior written request by Landlord execute, acknowledge
and deliver to Landlord a written statement certifying that this Lease Agreement
is unmodified and in full force and effect (or that same is in full force and
effect as modified, listing the instruments of modification), the dates to which
the rent and other charges have been paid, and whether or not to the best of
Tenant's knowledge Landlord is in default hereunder (and if so, specifying the
nature
of the default), it being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant to
this Article may be relied upon by a prospective purchaser of Landlord's
interest or mortgagee of Landlord's interest or assignee of any mortgage of
Landlord's interest in any underlying lease or in the Building or the Leased
Premises or Parcel. Failure of the Tenant to so execute such a certificate shall
be a default of Tenant, and Landlord may then execute same on Tenant's behalf as
Tenant's attorney-in-fact.
24. MECHANIC'S LIENS. Tenant covenants and agrees, at its own cost and
expense, to have any mechanic's notice of intention or mechanic's lien filed
against the Parcel for work claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed
to have been furnished to, Tenant, discharged of record or bonded within thirty
(30) days after the filing or recording of same. In addition, Landlord may
discharge the same either by paying the amount claimed to be due, by procuring
the discharge of such notices or liens by deposit in court, by giving security,
or in such other manner as is or may be prescribed by law. Any amounts paid by
Landlord for any of the aforesaid purposes, and all reasonable counsel fees
expended in procuring the discharge of such notices or liens, shall be repaid by
Tenant to Landlord on demand, and if unpaid, shall be treated as Additional
Rent. Nothing herein contained shall imply any consent or agreement on the part
of Landlord to subject the Landlord's estate to liability under any mechanic's
or construction lien law.
25. NOTICES. Notices by either party to the other shall be in writing
and shall be delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail or
overnight courier addressed to Landlord or Tenant at their respective addresses
hereinabove set forth, or to such other address as either party shall hereafter
designate by notice as aforesaid. All notices sent by registered or certified
mail properly addressed shall be deemed served three (3) days after the date of

received by the addressee. Notices sent by overnight courier or personal
delivery shall be effective when delivered.

Tenant's use and possession, and Landlord shall not be liable therefore in any
matter to Tenant.

Premises, keep and store all necessary materials, tools and equipment in such
manner upon the Leased Premises as not to unreasonably interfere with Tenant's

Tenant may suffer or sustain by reason of making any repairs or the performance
of any work in the Leased Premises in accordance with the provisions of
Paragraph 27 hereof, or on account of bringing or storing any materials,
supplies, and equipment into or upon the Leased Premises during usual business
hours.
27.5. Landlord or Landlord's authorized agents may enter upon the
Leased Premises at any time in case of emergency without prior notice to Tenant.
27.6. Landlord, in exercising any of its rights under this
Section, shall not be deemed guilty of an eviction, partial eviction or

28. ATTORNMENT. Tenant covenants and agrees that if the leasehold
interest of Landlord in the Parcel or any part thereof is terminated, Tenant
will attorn to the then holder of the reversionary interest in the Parcel or
such part thereof and will recognize such holder as Tenant's landlord under this
Lease.
29. MORTGAGE PRIORITY. This Lease shall not be a lien against the
premises in respect of any mortgages that may now or hereafter be placed upon
the property. The recording of such mortgage or mortgages shall have preference
and precedence and be superior and prior in lien to this Lease by virtue hereof,
and the Tenant agrees to execute any instruments, without cost, which further
effect the subordination of this Lease to any such mortgage or mortgages. A
refusal by the Tenant to execute such instruments shall entitle the Landlord to
the option of canceling this Lease, and the term hereof is hereby expressly
limited accordingly.
30. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord covenants and agrees that, upon the

on Tenant's part to be kept and performed, Tenant shall have, hold, and enjoy

conditions of this lease, and shall continue to be such month-to-month Tenant
until such tenancy shall be terminated by landlord or tenant and such possession
shall cease. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as a consent by
Landlord to the occupancy or possession by Tenant of the Leased Premises beyond
the expiration of the term, and Landlord, upon said expiration of the term shall
be entitled to the benefit of all legal remedies that now may be in force or may
be hereafter enacted relating to the speedy repossession of the Leased Premises.
34. WAIVER OF CLAIMS AND LANDLORD'S LIABILITY.
34.1. Landlord shall not be liable for, and Tenant hereby

for the satisfaction of any claim, remedy or cause of action accruing to Tenant
as a result of the breach of any condition of this Lease by Landlord.
35. LANDLORD'S OBLIGATIONS. Landlord's obligations under this Lease
Agreement shall be binding upon Landlord only for the period of time that
Landlord is in ownership of the building; and, upon termination of that
ownership, Tenant, except as to any obligations which have then matured, shall

satisfaction of each and every obligation of Landlord hereunder.
36. INDEMNIFICATION OF LANDLORD.
36.1. Tenant shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Landlord
from and against any and all costs, expenses (including reasonable counsel

invitees or licensees;

theft of property, which shall occur in or about the Parcel as the result of the

willful act or gross negligence of the Landlord, its employees and agents.
36.2. Any such expense shall be deemed Additional Rent, due on
the first day of the next calendar month after it is incurred.
37. TENANT'S INSURANCE. Tenant covenants, at its sole cost and
expense, but for the mutual benefit of Landlord and Tenant, to maintain
throughout the Lease Term:
37.1. LIABILITY. Personal injury and property damage liability
insurance against claims for bodily injury, death, or property damage occurring
on, in, or about the Leased Premises, Building, and Parcel. Such insurance shall
afford minimum protection, during the term of this Lease, of not less than
$500,000 in respect of bodily injury or death to any one person, of not less
than $1,000,000 in respect of any one accident, and of not less than $500,000
for property damages.
37.2. CASUALTY. Tenant shall obtain fire and casualty insurance
on the Leased Premises in an amount of not less than Two Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($200,000.00) and in form and from an insurer acceptable to Landlord.
37.3. Tenant shall furnish to the Landlord or its mortgagee such
evidence of insurance, as called for herein, as the Landlord or its mortgagee
may, from time to time, request. Upon failure at any time on the part of Tenant
to procure and deliver to Landlord evidence of such insurance indicating the
premium has been paid and the insurance is in effect, Landlord shall be at
liberty, from time to time, as often as such failure shall occur, to procure
such insurance and to pay the premium therefor. Any sums paid for insurance by
Landlord shall be and become, and are hereby declared to be Additional Rent
hereunder for the collection of which Landlord shall have all the remedies
provided for in this Lease or by law for the collection of rent. Payment by
Landlord of such premium or the carrying by Landlord of any such policy
shall not be deemed to waive or release the default of Tenant with respect
thereto. Tenant's failure to provide and keep in force the aforementioned
insurance shall be regarded as a default hereunder entitling Landlord to
exercise any or all of the remedies as provided in this Lease in the event of
default.
37.4. All policies of insurance provided for in this Section
hereof shall name Landlord as an additional named insured. If required by
mortgagee, such policies shall also be payable to the mortgagee as the interest
of such mortgagee may appear. The loss, if any, under any such insurance
policies shall be adjusted with the insurance companies by Landlord, and its
mortgagee, if any. Each such policy shall contain a provision, if available and
obtainable, that no act or omission of Tenant shall affect or limit the
obligations of the insurance company to pay to Landlord the amount of any loss
sustained. Such policy shall further contain a provision that the policy may not
be canceled without ten (10) days prior written notice to the Landlord and ten
(10) days written notice to any mortgagee, to whom a loss thereunder may be
payable.
37.5. At least fifteen (15) days prior to commencement of the
Term, a certificate evidencing coverage of such policies therefor shall be
delivered by Tenant to Landlord and at least thirty (30) days before each of
such policies shall expire, Tenant shall deliver a certificate evidencing
renewal of such coverage.
37.6. NEGATIVE COVENANTS OF TENANT. Tenant agrees that it will
not do or suffer to be done, any act, matter or thing objectionable to fire,
hazard or liability insurance companies whereby the fire insurance or any other
insurance now in force or hereafter to be placed on the Parcel or any part
thereof, shall become void or suspended, or whereby the same shall be rated as a
more hazardous risk than at the date when Tenant receives possession hereunder.
In case of a breach of this covenant, in addition to all other remedies of
Landlord hereunder, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as additional rent, any and
all increase or increases or premiums on insurance carried by Landlord on the
Leased Premises, or any part thereof, or on the Building of which the Leased
Premises may be a part, caused in any way by the occupancy of Tenant.
37.7. MUTUAL WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Landlord hereby waives any
and all rights of recovery against Tenant for or arising out of damage to or
destruction of the Parcel and any other property of Landlord from causes then
insured under standard fire and extended coverage insurance policies or
endorsements to the extent that its insurance policies then in effect permit
such waiver. If at any time during the Term any insurance carrier which shall
have issued a policy to either of the parties covering the Leased Premises or
any of the property of Tenant, shall refuse to consent to the waiver of the
right of recovery with respect to any loss payable under such policy, or if such
carrier shall consent to such waiver only upon the payment of an additional
premium (unless such additional premium is voluntarily paid by one of the
parties hereto), or shall cancel a consent previously given, or shall cancel or
threaten to cancel any policy previously issued and then in full force and
effect, then in any such event, the waiver in
this Section shall thereupon be of no further force and effect as to the loss,
damage or destruction covered by such policy except as hereinafter provided. If,
however, at any time thereafter such consent shall be obtained therefor from any
existing or any substitute insurance carrier, the waiver hereinabove provided
for shall again become effective.
38. NO WAIVER.
38.1. Failure of either party to complain of any act or omission
on the part of the other party, no matter how long same may continue, shall not
be deemed a waiver by said party of any of its rights hereunder. No waiver by
either party at any time expressed or implied, of a breach of any provision of
this Lease shall be deemed waiver of a breach of any other provision or a
consent to any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision. The consent
to or approval of any action on any one occasion by either party hereto shall
not be deemed a consent to or approval of said action on any subsequent occasion
or a consent to or approval of any other action on the same or any subsequent
occasion. Any and all rights and remedies which either party may have under this
Lease or by operation of law by reason of a breach by the other party shall be
distinct, separate, and cumulative, and shall not be deemed inconsistent with
any other right or remedy and any two or more or all of such rights and remedies
may be exercised at the same time. Acceptance by either party of any of the
benefits of this Lease with knowledge of any breach thereof by the other party
shall not be deemed a waiver by the party receiving the benefit of any rights or
remedies to which it is entitled hereunder by law.
38.2. The receipt by Landlord of the Basic Rent and Additional
Rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be
deemed a waiver of such breach. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a
lesser amount than the monthly Basic Rent or a lesser amount of the Additional
Rent then due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest
stipulated amount then due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check
or any letter or other instrument accompanying any check or payment as Basic
Rent or Additional Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may
accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover
the balance of such Basic Rent or Additional Rent or pursue any other remedy
provided in this Lease.
38.3. The failure of Landlord to enforce any of the Rules and
Regulations as may be set by Landlord from time to time against Tenant or
against any other Tenant in the Building shall not be deemed waiver of any such
Rule or Regulation.
39. ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS.
39.1. Tenant shall, at Tenant's own expense, comply with any
and all applicable environmental laws, including but not limited to the New
Jersey Spill Compensation and Control Act and Industrial Site Recovery Act.
Tenant shall comply with the Industrial Site
Recovery Act, N.J.S.A. 13:1K-6 et seq. and the regulations promulgated
thereunder ("ISRA") in line with the closing, termination or transfer of
Tenant's operation at the Premises. Tenant shall also provide all information
within Tenant's control requested by Landlord or the Bureau of Industrial
Site Evaluation (the "Bureau") of the New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection ("NJDEP") and Tenant shall promptly execute any affidavits
requested by Landlord should the information contained therein be found by
Tenant to be complete and accurate. Tenant shall only bear that part of the
costs of ISRA compliance which are applicable to Tenant's or Tenant's
employees, agents, invitees, licensees, or contractors or any of their
discharges of hazardous substances or wastes at the Premises during the Lease
Term and any extensions or renewals hereof. Tenant shall defend, indemnify
and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all costs, expenses and
liability arising out of the provisions of this Article, which obligation
shall survive the termination of this Lease.
40. JURY TRIAL WAIVER. Landlord and Tenant do hereby waive trial by
jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties
hereto against the other on any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any
connection with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant's
use or occupancy of the Leased Premises, and/or any claim, injury or damage, or
any emergency or statutory remedy.
41. FORCE MAJEURE. If the Landlord is prevented from performing any of
its obligations hereunder by reason of any Act of God or any other reason beyond
the reasonable control of the Landlord including, but not limited to,
governmental preemption in connection with a national emergency or any rule,
order or regulation, weather, strikes, unavailability of materials, building
moratorium or governmental approvals or the absence thereof, this Lease and
Tenant's obligation to pay Basic Rent and Additional Rent hereunder shall in no
way be affected, impaired or excused, and the Landlord's time to perform shall
be extended by a time equal to the amount of such delay.
42. INTERPRETATION.
42.1. Whenever in this Lease any words of obligation or duty are
used, such words or expressions shall have the same force and effect as though
made in the form of covenants.
42.2. No remedy or election given by any provision in this Lease
shall be deemed exclusive unless so indicated, but each shall, wherever

and assigns and, where appropriate, its agents, servants, invitees, employees

New Jersey and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of

with this Lease.
