LIABILITIES

Section 3.1 Excluded Liabilities. Purchaser will not assume any liabilities or obligations arising out of or in connection with or otherwise related to the Acquired Assets existing on the date of the applicable Closing or date of transfer of title in the case of a Delayed Closing (as defined herein), or arising after such Closing on such Acquired Asset or date of transfer of title in the case of a Delayed Closing in connection with or as a result of the ownership of any Acquired Assets by Seller prior to the applicable Closing or Delayed Closing, as applicable (whether absolute, accrued, contingent, known or unknown or otherwise, and whether filed or asserted prior to or after the applicable Closing Date or Delayed Closing, as applicable) (the "Excluded Liabilities"), including, without limitation, any liabilities or obligations with respect to employee matters, any Workers’ Compensation, disability benefit and medical benefit claims (including loss development and costs associated with claims incurred prior to the applicable Closing), products liability, environmental matters, litigation with respect to the Acquired Assets, vendor paybacks, or any other liabilities, including, without limitation, any

*Material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24-b2.

liability attributable to or incurred by Seller arising from, or relating to, any collective bargaining agreement, bonus, incentive, deferred compensation, insurance, severance, termination, retention, change of control, employment, stock option, stock appreciation, stock purchase, phantom stock or other equity-based, performance, vacation, accrued but unpaid benefits, retiree benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement (except to the extent paid for by Seller under Section 5.1) (including, without limitation, any "employee benefit plan" as defined in ERISA Section 3(3), sponsored, maintained, contributed to or required to be contributed to by Seller or any trade or business which together with Seller would be deemed a "single employer" within the meaning of Section 4001 of ERISA (each, an "ERISA Affiliate"), for the benefit of any current or former employee of Seller or any of their Affiliates.) The Excluded Liabilities shall also include any liabilities or obligations of Seller pursuant to the New Orleans Facility Lease, except as expressly set forth in the New Orleans Sublease and any liabilities arising pursuant to contracts that are not Assumed Contracts or that are Assumed Contracts that Seller cannot assign to Purchaser. The Excluded Liabilities shall remain the liability of Seller. If any liability is asserted with respect to any employee matter relating to acts or omissions occurring both before and after the date of the applicable Closing, the Seller and Purchaser agree to meet in good faith to apportion such liability between themselves based on the particular Party’s responsibility for the alleged acts or omissions.

Section 3.2 Assumed Liabilities. Subject to the assignment of the Assumed Contracts, the Assumed Collective Bargaining Agreements and the execution of the Islip Facility Lease Assignment and the Baltimore Facility Lease Assignment, and the New Orleans Sublease, effective at the applicable Closing on any Acquired Asset or the Delayed Closing, as applicable, Purchaser will assume all of Seller's obligations arising on or after the applicable Closing Date or the Delayed Closing, as applicable, under the Assumed Contracts listed on Exhibit B-1 and the Assumed Collective Bargaining Agreements (subject to Seller's obligation to pay accrued vacation and any and all other accrued paid time off, pursuant to Section 5.1) (the "Assumed Liabilities"). Purchaser shall also be liable for any and all obligations pursuant to the Islip Facility Lease, the Baltimore Facility Lease, the New Orleans Owned Facility, the Baltimore Owned Facility and the Dunmore Owned Facility arising on or after the applicable Closing Date (except as set forth herein) or for any obligations Purchaser undertakes pursuant to the New Orleans Sublease and all such obligations shall be a part of the Assumed Liabilities.

Section 3.3 Sale of Assets Under Section 4204 of ERISA.

(a) General. With respect to the Acquired Facilities except the Baltimore Leased Facility and the Baltimore Owned Facility, Seller employs employees who are members of collective bargaining units represented by certain unions and participating in those Multiemployer Pension Plans (the "Multiemployer Pension Plans") identified on Schedule 4.1(p)(ii) and, with respect to the members of such collective bargaining units, has an obligation

*Material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24-b2.

to contribute to the Multiemployer Pension Plans. Seller and Purchaser intend by the provisions that follow to comply with and utilize the sale of assets rule of section 4204 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended by the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980 ("ERISA").

(b) Nature of Transaction. The sale reflected in this Agreement is a bona fide, arm's length sale of assets. Purchaser is unrelated to Seller within the meaning of section 4204 of ERISA.

(c) Contribution Base Units. From and after the applicable Closing Date, Purchaser agrees that it shall have an obligation to contribute to the Multiemployer Pension Plans with respect to the Acquired Facilities excluding the Baltimore Leased Facility and the Baltimore Owned Facility for substantially the same number of contribution base units as Seller had immediately prior to the sale. Purchaser agrees that the determination of the number of contribution base units and the duration of the obligation to maintain such contribution base units necessary to satisfy section 4204 shall be made in accordance with section 4204 of ERISA and such rules as the respective Multiemployer Pension Plans may have adopted, or may adopt, except to the extent that Purchaser defeats the application of such rules by waiver or challenge.

(d) During the period commencing on the first day of the first plan year beginning after the applicable Closing Date and ending on the expiration of the fifth such plan year (the "Contribution Period"), Purchaser shall provide to each Multiemployer Pension Plan either a bond, letter of credit or an escrow in an amount and manner meeting the requirements of section 4204 of ERISA. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.3(d) to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be obligated to provide any bond, letter of credit or escrow required herein in the event and to the extent Purchaser obtains from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the "PBGC") or the respective Multiemployer Pension Plan a proper variance or exemption under section 4204(c) of ERISA and the applicable regulations thereunder, provided any and all requirements of such variance or exemption are met. Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in connection with any application for such a variance or exemption made by Purchaser to the PBGC and/or to the Multiemployer Pension Plans. The cost of any bond, letter of credit or escrow provided under this Section 3.3(d) shall be paid by Seller.

(e) From and after the first day of employment as provided in Section 5.2 hereof, until final determination, Seller authorizes Purchaser to initiate arbitration, litigation or to do any other act which Purchaser deems, in its discretion, appropriate in order to reduce or eliminate any withdrawal liability or any escrow or bonding requirement imposed by any of the Multiemployer Pension Plans which Purchaser is required to satisfy under the terms of this Section 3.3. Seller agrees to reasonably assist Purchaser, at the sole cost and expense of Purchaser, in any proceedings commenced in accordance with this Section 3.3(e).

*Material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24-b2.

(f) Attribution of Contribution History to Purchaser. Purchaser acknowledges that any withdrawal liability of Purchaser to the Multiemployer Pension Plan shall be determined as if Purchaser had been required to contribute to the Multiemployer Pension Plan in the year in which the applicable Closing Date occurs and the four preceding plan years the amount that Seller was required to contribute with respect to the Acquired Facilities excluding the Baltimore Leased Facility and the Baltimore Owned Facility for such five plan years.

(g) If Purchaser Withdraws Within Five Years. If Purchaser withdraws from the Multiemployer Pension Plan in a complete withdrawal, or in a partial withdrawal with respect to the Acquired Facilities excluding the Baltimore Leased Facility or the Baltimore Owned Facility, during the first five plan years beginning with the first plan year beginning after the applicable Closing Date, then:

(i) Purchaser agrees that Purchaser shall pay the Multiemployer Pension Plan any and all withdrawal liability on account of such withdrawal when due;

(ii) if Purchaser fails or refuses to pay the Multiemployer Pension Plan any part of its withdrawal liability on account of such withdrawal when due, Seller shall have the right (but no obligation) to make such payment on behalf of Purchaser; and

(iii) Seller agrees that, if Purchaser's withdrawal liability to the Multiemployer Pension Plan (if any) is not paid, then Seller shall be secondarily liable to the Multiemployer Pension Plan for any withdrawal liability that Seller would have had to the Multiemployer Pension Plan with respect to the Acquired Facilities except the Baltimore Leased Facility and the Baltimore Owned Facility but for section 4204 of ERISA.

(h) If Seller is Liquidated Within Five Years. If all or substantially all of Seller's assets are distributed, or if Seller is liquidated, during the first five plan years beginning with the first plan year beginning after the plan year in which the applicable Closing Date occurs, then:

(i) Seller agrees to provide a bond or amount in escrow equal to the present value of the withdrawal liability that Seller would have had as a result of this sale of assets but for section 4204 of ERISA, unless Seller timely secures a waiver of such requirement by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation,

(ii) such bond or escrow shall be paid to the Multiemployer Pension Plan if Seller becomes secondarily liable to the Multiemployer Pension Plan as described in the preceding section and fails or refuses to pay its withdrawal liability, but

*Material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24-b2.

(iii) such bond shall be cancelled or escrow returned to Seller if (1) Seller becomes secondarily liable to the Multiemployer Pension Plan as described in the preceding section and pays its secondary liability to the Multiemployer Pension Plan in full or (2) such five plan years have elapsed and Seller has not become secondarily liable to the Multiemployer Pension Plan as described in the preceding section.

(i) Indemnification. Purchaser agrees to indemnify Seller against any and all withdrawal liability, including interest, penalties and attorney's fees, that is assessed against Seller by reason of Purchaser's failure or refusal to comply with any provision of this Article, including but not limited to failure or refusal to comply with the requirements of section 4204 of ERISA set forth herein and withdrawal within five years coupled with failure or refusal to pay the withdrawal liability attendant thereto. Seller agrees to indemnify Purchaser against any and all withdrawal liability, including interest, penalties and attorney's fees, by reason of Seller's failure or refusal to comply with any provision of this Article, or if, despite the provisions of this Section 3.3, a partial or total withdrawal is triggered by Seller's ceasing to contribute to a Multiemployer Pension Plan.

Section 3.4 Baltimore Drivers. If, at any time, any withdrawal liability is triggered with respect to the drivers in Baltimore, A&P shall pay [*]of any such withdrawal liability. C&S shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a new agreement with Penske and cause Penske to utilize the present Penske drivers so that no withdrawal event is triggered as a result of the transfer of the Penske services from A&P to C&S.

ARTICLE IV

Purchaser shall pay all Taxes assessed against each of the Acquired Facilities with respect to taxable periods beginning on the day after the applicable Closing Date (including interest and penalties due not caused by Seller), subject to the Leases and the New Orleans Sublease. Seller shall pay to Purchaser at the applicable Closing its prorated share (as determined in this Section 8.9(a)(i)) of any unpaid Taxes pertaining to each of the Dunmore Owned Facility, New Orleans Owned Facility, Baltimore Owned Facility and the Leased Facilities with respect any Straddle Period and shall be responsible for any interest and penalties accrued at the time of applicable Closing with respect to the period prior to the date of the applicable Closing.

Upon receipt of an actual assessment for the Taxes due during a Straddle Period, Seller and Purchaser will, if necessary, adjust the apportionment between them within thirty (30) days after Purchaser delivers to Seller the actual assessment. For purposes of this Section 8.9(a)(i), the Seller's prorated share of unpaid Taxes for a Straddle Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the taxable period ending on (and including) the applicable Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire taxable period.

(ii) All utility charges, including, without limitation, sewer and water charges (collectively, "Utility Charges") and all payments under any Assumed Contracts shall be prorated and apportioned as of the applicable Closing Date, the period through and including the applicable Closing Date being Seller's responsibility and the period commencing on the day immediately following the applicable Closing Date being Purchaser's responsibility.

(iii) All payments under any Assumed Contracts, Leases and the New Orleans Sublease shall be prorated and apportioned as of the applicable Closing Date, the period through and including the applicable Closing Date being Seller's responsibility and the period commencing on the day immediately following the applicable Closing Date being Purchaser’s responsibility.

*Material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24-b2.

(b) (i) Seller shall pay all base, minimum, fixed and additional rent and other charges ("Rent") due and payable under the Leases with respect to the period through and including the applicable Closing Date.

(c) Purchaser shall not have any liability with respect to the New Orleans Lease (financial or otherwise) except as set forth in the New Orleans Sublease.

If Seller is unable, despite such commercially reasonable efforts, to obtain the Non-Disturbance Agreements, Seller shall indemnify Purchaser from any and all liability and damages, whether direct or indirect, resulting from such failure, and such indemnification shall not be subject to the minimum threshold set forth in Section 9.6, provided Purchaser or an Affiliate or a third party with permission from Purchaser was using such Acquired Facility. Further, if Purchaser is unable to maintain control of all or a material part of an Acquired Facility due to failure of Sellers to obtain a Non-Disturbance Agreement, due to a title defect arising prior to the applicable Closing Date or due to failure of Sellers to obtain an estoppel certificate or due to a Seller default, act or omission under or with respect to the New Orleans Lease (unless Purchaser's inability to maintain control of all or a material part of an Acquired Facility is due to an act or omission of Purchaser or an Affiliate or a third party with permission from Purchaser to use the Acquired Facility), any resulting breach or service issues related to such loss of control of an Acquired Facility shall not be a breach by C&S of the Supply Agreement.

Section 8.14 Insurance.

Section 8.15 Transition Fee.

Seller shall provide detailed backup documentation with respect to the Transition Fee and the Parties will reconcile any amounts as soon as possible.

Section 8.16 Fair Market Price. The determination of Fair Market Price for the Dunmore Owned Facility, Baltimore Owned Facility and the New Orleans Owned Facility shall be determined as follows: one (1) MAI Appraiser shall be selected by Seller and one (1) MAI Appraiser shall be selected by Purchaser for each building. Each appraiser shall have a minimum of ten (10) years experience as an MAI Appraiser of commercial rents in the county in which the Dunmore Owned Facility, Baltimore Owned Facility or the New Orleans Owned Facility, as applicable, are located and whose credentials are reasonably acceptable to the other Party. The appraisals shall be performed on a comparable value basis. Each MAI Appraiser shall then make the determination of Fair Market Price upon the terms and conditions as herein provided. The appraisal shall be for the Dunmore Owned Facility, Baltimore Owned Facility or the New Orleans Owned Facility in AS IS, WHERE IS condition, free and clear of all tenancies. Seller shall pay for its MAI Appraiser(s), and Purchaser shall pay for their MAI Appraiser(s). Fair Market Price shall be determined no less than twenty (20) days prior to the applicable Closing Date. If the appraisals, for either building, are within ten (10%) percent of each other, the average value of the two (2) appraisals shall be the Fair Market Price with respect to such property. If the difference between the two (2) appraisals, for either building, is greater than ten (10%) percent, the two (2) MAI Appraisers shall designate a third (3^rd) MAI Appraiser and the value given in that appraisal shall be the Fair Market Price for that building. Seller and Purchaser shall each pay fifty (50%) percent of the fee of the third (3^rd) MAI Appraiser. Once the Fair Market Price is determined, it will be multiplied by [*] for the Dunmore Owned Facility and the New Orleans Owned Facility and by [*] for the Baltimore Owned Facility, and the resulting sum for each building, will be the amount Purchaser shall pay for the Dunmore Owned Facility, the New Orleans Owned Facility and the Baltimore Owned Facility respectively. Purchaser will then charge Seller (through the upcharge as set forth in the Supply Agreement) at a cap rate determined by the MAI Appraisers. For example if the combined purchase price for the Dunmore Owned Facility, the New Orleans Owned Facility and the Baltimore Owned Facility is [*] and the cap rate is [*], then Seller will be charged an upcharge based on an annual figure of [*]. The MAI Appraisers shall derive the cap rate from comparable sales for properties leased to tenants with credit ratings similar to the Seller. If Purchaser, at any point in time, decides to sell the Dunmore Owned Facility, Baltimore Owned Facility or the New Orleans Owned Facility, Seller and Purchaser will [*] in either the net profit or net loss arising from such sale(except for in the case of the Baltimore Owned Facility, where Seller shall be entitled to [*] of any net profit

Section 8.18 Exhibits. The Parties agree that the attached exhibits and schedules ("Exhibits") may not at the time of execution of this Agreement all be final and shall be supplemented and/or revised prior to the applicable Closings or at another time to be mutually agreed to by the Parties. The Parties acknowledge and agree that substantially all of the terms of the Exhibits have been agreed upon and are reflected in the attached Exhibits and accordingly the Exhibits shall be in substantially similar forms as the Exhibits attached to this Agreement on the date hereof. The Parties agree to engage in subsequent good faith negotiation with respect to any outstanding issues or requested supplements or revisions to the Exhibits.

Section 8.19 Repairs. Prior to the Procurement Conversion Date for each Acquired Facility, the Parties will in good faith agree on a list (the "List") of repairs ("Repairs") for which Seller will reimburse Purchaser for the cost of such Repairs. The Repairs for which Seller will be responsible for providing reimbursement are: (i) those that are required by law as of the applicable Procurement Conversion Date; and (ii) those that are on the List. The Parties shall place on the List those Repairs that they reasonably agree should be or will become necessary to be repaired within [*] of the applicable Procurement Conversion Date. No Repair shall be done by Purchaser without Seller approving an estimated cost thereof, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If there is a disagreement over the determination of such Repairs or the estimated cost thereof, then the Parties shall submit such dispute to an engineering firm mutually agreed to by the Parties.

C. Sublandlord shall have no duty to perform any obligations of the Overlandlord under the Overlease and shall under no circumstances be responsible for or liable to Subtenant for any default, failure or delay on the part of the Overlandlord in the performance of any obligations under the Overlease, nor shall such default of the Overlandlord affect this Sublease or waive or defer the performance of any of Subtenant's obligations hereunder; provided, nevertheless, that in the event of any such default or failure of performance by Overlandlord, Sublandlord agrees, upon notice from Subtenant, to make written demand upon Overlandlord to perform its obligations under the Overlease and to use reasonable business efforts to cause Overlandlord to perform its obligations under the Overlease.

A. If Subtenant defaults in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder, and such default continues for five (5) days after the giving of notice of such default with respect to the failure to pay any monies, or twenty (20) days after the giving of notice of default with respect to the failure to perform or comply with any non-monetary obligations of Subtenant hereunder, or if Subtenant fails to perform or observe any of the provisions required by it to be performed or observed by Subtenant under any other agreement relating to the Premises or under any equipment agreement, promissory note, conditional sales contract or other instrument executed by Subtenant in connection with obtaining equipment for use in the Premises after any ap-

plicable notice and cure period, then Sublandlord may at its option terminate this Sublease upon giving ten (10) days notice of termination to Subtenant, in which event neither Subtenant nor the guarantor nor any person claiming through or under Subtenant or the guarantor by virtue of any statute or an order of any court shall be entitled to possession or to remain in possession of the Premises but shall forthwith quit and surrender the Premises. Subtenant shall have reasonable additional time beyond twenty (20) days to cure a non-monetary default if Subtenant has commenced to cure same within said twenty (20) days and thereafter proceeds with due diligence to cure same.

B. In the event that Subtenant shall default under this Sublease and such default shall entitle Sublandlord to possession of the Premises as hereinabove provided, Sublandlord shall have the right to enter the Premises, remove Subtenant's property and effects, take and hold possession thereof, without terminating this Sublease or releasing Subtenant in whole or in part, from Subtenant's obligations to pay rent and additional rent and all its other obligations hereunder for the full term, relet the Premises or any part thereof, either in the name or for the account of Subtenant or Sublandlord, for such rent and for such term or terms as Sublandlord may see fit, which term may, at Sublandlord's option, extend beyond the balance of the term of this Sublease; provided, however, that Sublandlord shall not be obligated to relet the Premises nor shall Sublandlord be required to accept any tenant offered by Subtenant, or to observe any instructions given by Subtenant about such reletting. In any such case, Sublandlord may make such repairs, alterations and additions in and to the Premises and redecorate the same as it sees fit. Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord any deficiency between the rent hereby reserved and covenanted to be paid and the net amount of the rents collected on such reletting, for the balance of the term of this Sublease, as well as any reasonable expenses incurred by Sublandlord in such reletting including, but not limited to broker's fees, attorney's fees, the expense of repairing, altering and redecorating the Premises and otherwise preparing the same for rerental, all of such expenses shall be prorated if such reletting extends beyond the term of the Sublease and shall be paid by Subtenant as additional rent upon demand by Sublandlord. Any deficiency in rental shall be paid in monthly installments, upon statements rendered by Sublandlord to Subtenant. For the purpose of determining the deficiency in rent, whether payable in installments or the entire rental for the balance of the term, the rent reserved shall be deemed to be the guaranteed minimum rental herein provided

for, as reduced by any rent collected by reletting. Any suit brought to collect the amount of the deficiency for any one or more months shall not preclude any subsequent suit to collect the deficiency for any subsequent months.

C. In addition to the rights granted to Sublandlord pursuant to Paragraph 6.B., Sublandlord may require that, upon any termination of this Sublease, whether by lapse of time, the exercise of any option by Sublandlord to terminate the same, or in any other manner whatsoever, or upon any termination of Subtenant's right to possession without termination of this Sublease, Subtenant shall at once surrender possession of the Premises to Sublandlord and immediately vacate the same, and shall remove all its effects therefrom except any fixtures and equipment leased from Sublandlord or in which Sublandlord has a security interest. If Subtenant fails to do so, Sublandlord may, upon three (3) days' notice, reenter the Premises, by process of law, and repossess itself thereof as in its former estate and expel and remove Subtenant and any other person and properties therefrom, and without thereby waiving Sublandlord's rights to rent or any other rights given Sublandlord under this Sublease or at law or in equity.

D. If Subtenant is in default of its obligations under this Sublease, Sublandlord can cure the default after giving Subtenant two (2) business days written notice of its intention to do so, and Subtenant shall forthwith pay to Sublandlord, as additional rent, a sum of money equal to all amounts reasonably expended by Sublandlord in curing such default. If suit is brought by Sublandlord on account of any such default and if such default is established, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord all reasonable expenses of such suit, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees; alternatively, if such default is not established, Sublandlord shall pay Subtenant all reasonable expenses incurred by Subtenant, including without limitation, reasonable attorney fees. Any payment by Subtenant of a sum of money less than the entire amount due Sublandlord at the time of such payment shall be applied to the obligations of Subtenant then furthest in arrears. No endorsement or statement on any check or accompanying any payment shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction and any payment accepted by Sublandlord shall be without prejudice to Sublandlord's right to obtain the balance due or pursue any other remedy available to Sublandlord both in law and in equity.

E. If Subtenant defaults in any payment of rent or additional rent, interest shall accrue thereon from the due date until paid at interest at the Prime Rate (as hereinafter defined)

per annum plus two percent (2%) per annum, or if such rate is illegal, at the highest rate permitted by law (hereinafter called the "Lease Interest Rate"). Prime Rate shall mean the rate per annum publicly announced from time to time by Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York as its Prime Rate in effect at its principal office in New York City and each change in the Prime Rate shall be effective on the date such change is publicly announced.

F. If, at any time during the term of this Sublease, there shall be filed by or against Subtenant or any guarantor of this Sublease, in any court pursuant to any statute either of the United States or any state, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for the reorganization or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee or liquidator of all or any portion of Subtenant's or guarantor’s property or if Subtenant or guarantor makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if Subtenant or guarantor admits in writing its inability to pay its debts, and if, within thirty (30) days thereafter, Subtenant or guarantor fails to secure a discharge thereof, this Sublease, at the option of Sublandlord may be cancelled and terminated, in which event neither Subtenant nor guarantor nor any person claiming through or under Subtenant or guarantor by virtue of any statute or an order of any court shall be entitled to possession or to remain in possession of the Premises but shall forthwith quit and surrender the Premises.

G. In addition to any and all remedies set forth herein, Sublandlord shall have all remedies available at law or in equity and any and all remedies shall be cumulative and nonexclusive.

7. NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES. Sublandlord makes no representations or warranties with respect to this transaction or the Premises, except as specifically set forth herein or in the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) dated ____, 2005 by and among, inter alia, Sublandlord, as Seller, Subtenant, as Purchaser.

8. MECHANICS LIENS. Subtenant shall permit no mechanics liens to be placed against the Premises or any portion thereof and shall cause any contracts entered into by it for work to be done at the Premises in excess of $1 million to contain a waiver of the contractors' right to file a mechanics lien.

9. INDEMNITY. Subtenant hereby agrees to assume responsibility for the condition of the Premises from and after the Commencement Date and agrees to defend, indemnify

and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against any and all expense, loss, claims or liability including reasonable attorneys' fees (including those arising out of enforcement of this indemnity provision) arising out of or in connection with any act or omission of Subtenant, its agents, contractors or employees during the term of this Sublease, including, but not limited to, claims as a result of injury to or death of any person, property damage, claims of employees of Subtenant or arising out of or in connection with Subtenant's use and possession of the Premises, or its breach of the Sublease (including the terms of the Overlease) except, in each case, expense, loss, claims or liability arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord, its agents or employees. Sublandlord agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Subtenant harmless from and against any and all expense, loss, claims or liability including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including those arising out of enforcement of this indemnity provision) arising out of or in connection with (x) any act or omission of Sublandlord, its agents, contractors or employees during the term of this Sublease, (y) Sublandlord's use and occupancy of the Premises prior to the term of this Sublease, and (z) Sublandlord's breach of this Sublease, such indemnity to include, without limitation, claims as a result of injury to or death of any person, property damage, and claims of employees of Subtenant, except, in each case, expense, loss claims or liability arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of Subtenant, its agents or employees or if Subtenant's breach of this Sublease directly causes Sublandlord's breach of the Overlease.

10. RESTORATION. Subtenant shall remove alterations to the Premises made by Subtenant which are required to be removed by the Overlease or by Overlandlord as well as all of Subtenant’s trade fixtures and equipment prior to the expiration or sooner termination of the term hereof and shall repair all damage caused by such removal. Otherwise, Subtenant shall surrender the Premises in the same condition as the Premises are on the Commencement Date, ordinary wear and tear and damage by casualty which Subtenant is not required to restore hereunder excepted.

11. NOTICES. All notices, demands, submissions and consents required hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (a) to Subtenant, at the address of Subtenant as hereinabove set forth, attention to Chief Executive Officer, or such other address as Subtenant may designate by notice to Sublandlord, then in duplicate under separate cover, to the attention to the Chief Financial Officer

12. INSURANCE.

A. Property Insurance. If Sublandlord is required under the Overlease to provide insurance covering the Premises against loss by fire or other casualty, then the Subtenant shall be responsible for obtaining same at Subtenant's sole cost and expense and Subtenant shall name Sublandlord as an additional insured, and shall also name such other additional parties as may be required under the Overlease. Subtenant and Sublandlord each hereby waive all rights or recovery against the other and its agents and employees for damage or destruction to any and all of the improvements in or on the Premises, including but not limited to fixtures, equipment and inventory, arising out of fire or other casualty whether or not caused by acts or negligence of Subtenant or Sublandlord and/or their respective agents and employees.

B. Public Liability. Subtenant will deliver to Sublandlord evidence of general liability, bodily injury, and property damage in amounts not less than that required under the Overlease: Subtenant will name Sublandlord as an additional insured under the policy and will show evidence that the hold-harmless agreement set forth in Article 9 is covered and recognized by the insurance company. Such policy or policies shall include a provision that at least ten (10) days prior written notice of cancellation be given to Sublandlord.

C. Sublandlord shall not be required to maintain any insurance hereunder.

13. ALTERATIONS. Subtenant may make such alterations or additions to the Premises as are permitted to be made by the Overlease, and such other alterations or additions as may be approved by Overlandlord. If any alterations or additions made by Subtenant are required to be removed by the Overlease or by Overlandlord, Subtenant shall remove the same and repair any damage caused by such removal. Subtenant shall have no obligation to remove any alterations made to the Premises by Sublandlord prior to the term of this Sublease.

14. CONDEMNATION AND CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION PROCEEDS.

A. Subject to the last sentence of this Paragraph 14 A, if any portion of the Premises is taken by condemnation or similar proceeding, or if the warehouse building on the Premises is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty in whole or in part during the term of this Sublease, Subtenant shall have the option to terminate this Sublease by giving written notice thereof to Sublandlord within thirty (30) days after Subtenant receives notice of such condemnation, or within thirty (30) days following such damage or destruction, as the case may be, in which case, this Sublease shall terminate as of the date of such condemnation or casualty, as the case may be, and Sublandlord shall refund to Subtenant any prepaid Rent. If Subtenant does not elect to terminate this Sublease as provided above, this Sublease shall continue and Sublandlord shall not exercise any right it may have under the Overlease to terminate the Overlease. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Subtenant cannot terminate this Sublease upon the occurrence of a condemnation or casualty unless Sublandlord has a right to terminate the Overlease upon the occurrence of such condemnation or casualty.

B. All compensation awarded or paid upon a total or partial taking of the Premises shall belong to and be the property of Sublandlord without any participation by Subtenant; provided, however, Subtenant shall receive out of any such award, the unamortized book value of any alterations and/or improvements made by Subtenant to the Premises, but not more than Subtenant’s proportionate share of the sum of the unamortized book value of all alterations and/or improvements made by Sublandlord and Subtenant to the Premises; and provided further that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude Subtenant from prosecuting any claim directly against the condemning authority in such condemnation proceedings for loss of business, and/or depreciation to, damage to, and/or cost of removal of, and/or for the value of stock and/or trade fixtures, furniture and other personal property belonging to Subtenant; provided, however, that no such claim shall diminish or otherwise adversely affect Sublandlord's and/or Overlandlord's award or the award(s) of any and all ground and underlying landlord(s) and Mortgagee(s).

15. ASSIGNMENT. As between Sublandlord and Subtenant, Subtenant may assign this Sublease or sublet the Premises in whole or in part with the consent of Sublandlord which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Subtenant, or the

assignment of this Sublease to an entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Subtenant, shall not require the consent of Sublandlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenant shall not assign this Sublease or sublet the Premises in whole or in part without the consent of Overlandlord if such consent is required under the Overlease. If this Sublease is assigned, Sublandlord may, and is hereby empowered to, collect rent from the assignee; if the Premises or any part thereof be underlet or occupied by any person other than Subtenant, Sublandlord, in the event of Subtenant's default, may, and is hereby empowered to, collect rent from the undertenant or occupant; in either of such events, Sublandlord may apply the net amount collected by it to the rent herein reserved, and no such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the covenant herein against assignment and underletting, or the acceptance of the assignee, undertenant or occupant as Subtenant, or a release of Subtenant from the further performance of the covenants herein contained on the part of Subtenant.

16. BROKER. Each party represents and warrants to the other party that it dealt with no broker or other person entitled to claim fees for such services in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Sublease. Each party agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all claims for finders' fees or brokerage or other commission which may at any time be asserted against the indemnified party founded upon a claim that the substance of the aforesaid representation of the indemnifying party is untrue, together with any and all losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) relating to such claims or arising therefrom or incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification provision.

		Note: There are no contracts in place for waste removal. All in legal review. We'll exclude these locations in the final agreement.
