------------------
Tenant rents from Landlord, the Leased Premises and building to be constructed
thereon (the "Building") as depicted on Landlord's proposed Development Plan for
the Shopping Center, Exhibit "A," subject to all of the terms and conditions of
this Lease.

1.02 Commencement of Lease. The Lease Term shall commence on the date that
---------------------
Landlord substantially completes Landlord's Work (hereinafter "Lease
Commencement Date"). As used in this Lease, the terms (i) "Landlord's Work"
shall mean the exterior construction of the Building and all utilities and
internal systems as contemplated by Landlord's Final Land Development Plan for
the Leased Premises and Building attached to this Lease as Exhibit "A" and (ii)
"substantially complete" and "substantial completion" shall mean the date that
the Landlord's Work has been completed in compliance with all applicable
Township regulations, ordinances, and laws, with the exception of minor items
which can be completed without material interference of the installation of
fixtures or improvements for Tenant's business. Upon substantial completion, the
parties shall sign a memorandum or similar letter that establishes the Lease
Commencement Date, Rent Commencement Date, and expiration of the Term and
Renewal Periods.

1.03 Use of Common Areas. The use and occupation by Tenant of the Leased
------------- -----
Premises shall include the use, in common with others entitled thereto, of the
Common Areas, employees' parking areas, service roads, loading facilities,
sidewalks and customer car parking areas of the Shopping Center, and such other
facilities as may be designated from time to time by Landlord, subject, however,
to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Landlord may designate certain
portions of the parking areas as reserved for use of certain tenants or
customers of certain tenants. All parking rights are also subject to ordinances
of the Municipality, County, or State in which the Shopping Center is located.
Landlord shall not permit any construction, plantings, or truck or delivery
parking within the cross-hatched areas on Exhibit "A" that will impede or
obstruct any site lines or vehicles or pedestrian vision of the Building or
Tenant's approved signage.

1.04 Commencement of Minimum Rent and Additional Rent. Tenant's obligation
to pay Minimum Rent shall commence on the date which is thirty (30) days after
the Lease Commencement Date (hereinafter the "Rent Commencement Date"). Tenant's
obligation to pay Additional Rent shall also commence on the Rent Commencement

1.05 Lease Term. The term of this Lease shall commence on the Lease
-----------
Commencement Date, continue for ten (10) years beginning on the Rent
Commencement Date (subject to validly exercised First or Second Renewal Terms).
In the event the Rent Commencement Date is other than the first day of the
month, the period between the Rent Commencement Date and the first full day of
the first full month next succeeding shall be added to the Rental Term, and
therefore, the first year of the Rental Term shall be deemed to be extended to
include such partial month and the following twelve (12) months so as to end on
the last day of the month.

1.06 Condition of Leased Premises. Landlord agrees at its cost and expense
----------------------------
to complete Landlord's Work and to deliver possession of the Leased Premises to
Tenant in a substantially completed condition (as defined in Section 1.02) on or
before six (6) months from the date of issuance of a building permit applicable
to the Leased Premises. For each day beyond the six-month period that the Leased
Premises is not substantially complete, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, as
liquidated damages (representing an estimate of Tenant's loss of business
opportunity), the sum of One Thousand Seven Hundred Dollars ($1,700.00) which
may, at Tenant's option, be either demanded by Tenant in cash or offset against
future installments of Minimum Rent. Landlord further agrees and covenants to
use its best efforts to obtain a building permit by April 30, 2005, but Tenant
acknowledges that there shall be no penalty for Landlord's failure to obtain the
permit as long as Landlord uses, and continues to use, its best efforts to
obtain the permit. If Landlord's Work is delayed or hindered by strike,
casualty, fire, injunction, inability to secure materials, or restraint of law,
unusual action of the elements, or any other cause beyond the control of
Landlord, then the said period shall be extended to the extent of such delays.
Landlord shall furthermore make all commercially reasonable efforts to complete
the Shopping Center within eighteen (18) months from the date that adequate
public sewage capacity is available for the Shopping Center. If Landlord does
not complete the Shopping Center pursuant to the Land Development Plan attached
as Exhibit "A" and make its pad sites available for leasing within such 18-month
period, Tenant shall receive an abatement of twenty-five percent (25%) of the
Minimum Rent until such time as the Shopping Center is complete and Tenant
spaces are available for leasing. Landlord warrants that the Leased Premises and
Building, including the HVAC system, plumbing, hot water heater and electrical
systems on the Leased Premises will be in compliance with all building codes and
for a period of one (1) year after the Rent Commencement Date: (i) all such
systems will be in good working order and (ii) that the roof will be free of
leaks.

1.07 Tenant's Work. Other than Landlord's Work, Tenant shall make all other
-------------
necessary improvements to the Leased Premises and Building to operate Tenant's
business ("Tenant's Work"). Tenant's Work shall comply with all applicable


5
<PAGE>

statutes, ordinances, regulations, and codes and shall strictly comply with the
requirements of Article VI hereof. Tenant may not puncture the roof or interfere
with the sprinkler system without specific written permission from Landlord.
Tenant prior to the Lease Commencement Date, shall with the prior consent of
Landlord (which consent may be withheld or delayed by Landlord due to
requirements of Landlord's Work), be permitted to install its fixtures and
equipment provided it first delivers to Landlord a copy of its liability
insurance certificate in accordance with Section 8.04. Any work done by Tenant
prior to completion of the Leased Premises shall be performed in a manner as
will not interfere with the progress of the work by Landlord of substantially
completing construction of Landlord's Work and Landlord shall have no liability
or responsibility for loss of or any damage to fixtures, equipment or other
property of Tenant so installed or placed on the Leased Premises.

1.08 Shopping Center Provisions. Except as otherwise provided herein, no
---------------------------
rights or remedies shall accrue to Tenant arising out of the failure of Landlord
to construct or lease any other parts of the Shopping Center or from any changes
in occupancy by tenants in the Shopping Center. It is understood that said
Exhibit "A" sets forth the general layout of the Shopping Center but shall not
be deemed as a warranty, representation or agreement on the part of Landlord
that the Shopping Center layout will be exactly as depicted on said Exhibit, and
Landlord specifically reserves the right from time to time and without the
consent of Tenant: (i) to change the number, size, height (including additional
stories) or locations of the buildings or common areas in the Shopping Center as
Landlord may deem proper; (ii) to change or modify any means of ingress or
egress, provided that any change that affects Tenant shall be approved in
advance by Tenant; (iii) construct building(s) and/or kiosk(s) on or in the
common area; or (iv) to add additional land or buildings or both to the Shopping
Center. The Landlord states and Tenant acknowledges that from time to time
circumstances may arise under which it would be beneficial to the Shopping
Center to relocate one or more tenants (other than Tenant) within the Shopping
Center.

1.09 Option To Renew. Provided Tenant is not in default of any material
---------------
term, condition or covenant contained in this Lease beyond any applicable cure
period, Tenant shall have the option of renewing this Lease for the First and
Second Renewal Terms on the same terms and conditions as provided herein. The
option for the Second Renewal Term shall only be capable of exercise in the
event that the option for the preceding Renewal Term has been validly exercised.

Notice of the exercise of such Option to Renew shall be given by Tenant to
Landlord in writing no later than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to
expiration of the Original Term or the previous Renewal Term.

ARTICLE II: RENT
---------- ----

2.01 Minimum Rent. Minimum Rent hereunder shall be as set forth in Section
------------
1.00(h) and shall be payable in monthly installments in advance, without set
off, on the first day of each and every month throughout the Lease Term from the
Rent Commencement Date at the office of Landlord or at such other place
designated by Landlord, without any prior demand. Minimum Rent for any
fractional month shall be prorated and payable in advance. The parties agree
that the Minimum Rent is based on the cost to Landlord of completing and
financing the Landlor's Work, and as such the Landlord shall disclose to Tenant
the total costs to Landlord relating to the same. For purposes of this Lease,
the Gross Leasable Area of the Leased Premises shall be deemed to be that set
forth in Section 1.00(e).

2.02 Percentage Rent. [Intentionally Omitted]

2.03 Gross Receipts Defined. [Intentionally Omitted]

2.04 Tenant's Records. [Intentionally Omitted]

2.05 Audit. [Intentionally Omitted]

2.06 Taxes and Insurance. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional
--------------------
Rent (i) its proportionate share of real estate taxes, special taxes and
assessments and all insurance for the Shopping Center (excluding any
tenants separately taxed or charged for insurance or insurance paid
pursuant to Section 5.03) and (ii) any separate or special assessment
related to the Building. Insurance shall include all risk coverage, fire
insurance for the full replacement value of the improvements, extended
coverage and all other perils coverage, loss of rents coverage, plus all
endorsements and other coverages required as the result of Tenant's
business being conducted on the Leased Premises. Landlord shall notify
Tenant of the amount of such charges, and Tenant shall pay Landlord such
amounts within fifteen (15) days from the date of notice to it by Landlord.
Tenant's proportionate share is the fraction, the numerator of which is the
Gross Leasable Area in the Leased Premises and the denominator of which is
the total Gross Leasable Area of the Shopping Center (excluding any tenants
separately taxed or charged for insurance), provided that if the taxes for
the Shopping Center are increased materially because of assessment of
Tenant's improvements at a higher rate than other tenants in the Shopping
Center, Tenant agrees to pay any such excess taxes and provided further
that Tenant shall be responsible for all additional fire insurance premiums
as set forth in Section 8.03. Landlord, at Landlord's option, may bill
Tenant on a monthly basis based on one-twelfth (1/12) of the estimated
annual amount for taxes and insurance as estimated by Landlord, and Tenant
shall pay said cost for tax and insurance with monthly Minimum Rent on the
first day of each month in advance. The initial estimate shall be as set
forth in Section 1.00(q). In the event that Tenant's payments in such year
exceed Tenant's proportionate share of the actual tax and insurance costs,
Tenant shall be credited the amount of the overpayment. If Tenant's

6
<PAGE>

proportionate share of the actual tax and insurance costs exceeds the
payments made in such year by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the difference to
Landlord within thirty (30) days of receiving a detailed statement therefor
from Landlord or Tenant shall be in default of the Lease. In the event
Tenant does not make said payment monthly, Tenant shall be in default of
this Lease. Landlord, at Landlord's option, may obtain separate taxable
status for the Leased Premises, and in such event, Tenant's tax
contribution shall be based thereon. Additionally, with respect to taxes:

(a) Right to Contest Assessments. Landlord may contest any and all
such real estate taxes. If the result of any such contest shall be a
reduction in the amount of the real estate taxes so contested, that portion
of any refund, reduction, credit or recovery from the taxing authorities
with respect to such real estate taxes which is in the same proportion of
the total refund or recovery as Tenant's share of taxes, shall belong to
Tenant, and the balance shall belong to Landlord. The cost of any such
contest shall be paid as Additional Rent in the same proportionate share as
the real estate taxes are paid.

(b) Real Estate Tax. Real estate tax means: (i) any fee, license fee,
license tax, business license fee, commercial rental tax, levy, charge,
assessment, penalty or tax imposed by any taxing or judicial authority
against the Shopping Center or land upon which the Shopping Center is
located; (ii) any tax or charge for fire protection, streets, sidewalks,
road maintenance, refuse or other services provided to the Shopping Center
by any governmental agency; (iv) any tax imposed upon this transaction, or
based upon a re-assessment of the Shopping Center due to a change in
ownership or transfer of all or part of Landlord's interest in the Shopping
Center; and (v) any charge or fee replacing any tax previously included
within the definition of real property tax.

2.07 Interest on Delinquent Rent. All delinquent Minimum Rent and
------------------------------
Additional Rent and all other charges due under this Lease shall accrue interest
at a rate equal to the maximum amount permitted by law, irrespective of and in
addition to any Late Fees charged pursuant to Article 2.08 of this Lease, from
the due date of such payment and shall constitute other rent payable by Tenant
under this Lease and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand. Payment
shall not be deemed received if Tenant's payment is not actually collected (such
as charges for returned checks).

2.08 Late Fee. In the event that any monthly payment of rent provided for
--------
in this Lease is received by Landlord on or after the sixth (6th) day of the
month, or any other charge provided for in this Lease shall become overdue for a
period in excess of five (5) days, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge of
five ($.05) cents for each dollar ($1.00) overdue, each month that it remains
overdue, to cover the extra expense involved in handling delinquent payments.

2.09 Returned Checks. In the event Landlord receives a check from Tenant
----------------
written on insufficient funds, Landlord may charge Tenant a $50.00 fee to
reimburse Landlord for its costs and expenses. In the event Tenant has two (2)
checks returned by the bank, for any reasons whatsoever, Landlord has the right
to require all future payments from Tenant to be paid in either certified funds,
a bank check or money order.

ARTICLE III: CONDITION OF LEASED PREMISES
----------- ----------------------------

3.01 Landlord's Obligations. As of the time Tenant takes possession of the
----------------------
Leased Premises, Landlord, shall deliver the Leased Premises broom clean and the
air conditioning, heating, plumbing, electrical systems and equipment shall be
in good working condition and in compliance with all building codes. Landlord
shall warrant proper operation of all systems installed by Landlord for a period
of one year from the Lease Commencement Date provided Tenant shall be
responsible for all repairs due to improper usage, improper maintenance or
damage caused by the acts or omissions of the Tenant, its agents, servants,
employees, contractors, and invitees. Landlord shall provide Tenant, upon
written request, copies of all extended warranties applicable to Leased
Premises. Except as above, the respective obligations of Landlord and Tenant as
regards maintenance and repairs are governed by Article VII hereinafter.

ARTICLE IV: CONDUCT OF BUSINESS
---------- -------------------

4.01 Use of Leased Premises. Subject to an assignment or sublease that is
-----------------------
approved by Landlord or otherwise permitted by this Lease, Tenant shall use the
Leased Premises solely for the purpose set forth in Section 1.00(j).

4.02 Operation of Business. Tenant shall use its best efforts to open for
---------------------
business in accordance with Section 4.01 within ninety days (90) after the
completion of Tenant's work as described in Tenant's Construction Agreement
attached as part of Exhibit "B" to this Lease, and shall operate the Leased
Premises in good faith during the Term hereof, provided that Tenant may cease
operation at its discretion for a maximum continuous period not to exceed six
(6) months without being in default of this Lease.

ARTICLE V: COMMON AREAS
--------- ------------

5.01 Control of Common Areas by Landlord. The Common Areas as defined in
-------------------------------------
this Lease shall at all times be subject to the exclusive control and management
of Landlord, and Landlord shall have the right from time to time to establish,
revoke, modify and enforce reasonable rules and regulations with respect to all
or any part of said facilities. Landlord shall also have the right to close all
or any portion of said areas or facilities to such extent as may, in the opinion
of Landlord's counsel, be legally sufficient to prevent a dedication thereof or
the accrual of any rights to any person or the public therein; and to do and
perform such other acts in and to said areas and improvements, and/or revise and
develop the same, as Landlord shall determine to be advisable, with a view to

7
<PAGE>

the improvement of the convenience and use thereof by the tenants of the
Shopping Center and their customers, provided proper access to the Leased
Premises is maintained.

5.02 Common Area Maintenance Contribution. During each calendar year or any
------------------------------------
portion thereof during the lease term, Tenant will pay to Landlord as Additional
Rent, subject to the limitations hereinafter set forth, a proportion of the
common area maintenance costs hereinafter defined based upon the ratio that the
square feet of Gross Leasable Area in Leased Premises leased to Tenant herein
bears to the total square feet of all of the Gross Leasable Area leased and
available for lease to all tenants in the Shopping Center, excluding for any
item of costs the square footage of Gross Leasable Area allocated to any tenant
responsible for directly paying such costs; provided, however, if any item of
common area maintenance cost for the Shopping Center is increased materially
because of Tenant's use, Tenant shall additionally pay for such excess cost.
Tenant's share of such costs shall be estimated by Landlord on an annual basis
for each calendar twelve (12) month period ending on December 31, prorating
fractional years. The initial estimate shall be as set forth in Section 1.00(o).
Tenant shall pay such estimated charge in monthly installments on the first day
of each month in advance, and shall pay any excess charge within thirty (30)
days of receiving a detailed statement therefor from Landlord or Tenant shall be
in default of the Lease. In the event that Tenant's payments in such year exceed
Tenant's proportionate share of the actual common area maintenance costs, Tenant
will be credited the amount of the overpayment.

5.03 Definitions. For the purpose of this paragraph, "Common Area
-----------
Maintenance Costs" means the total costs and expense incurred in operating,
managing, maintaining, repairing, relocating, modifying, renovating and

Tenant shall not make or cause to be made any alterations, including additions
and improvements, to the Leased Premises or to any exterior signs, shades or
awnings that are inconsistent with the style and features employed within the
