the Premises are located. Such policies shall be for a minimum term of one year
and insure Landlord and Tenant, as their respective interests may appear and may

the Term Sheet, as of the Commencement Date, and shall at the written request of

and paid by Landlord.
5.03 All such fire and extended coverage insurance shall be effected at
Tenant's expense under valid and enforceable policies issued by insurers of
Tenant's choice; provided such insurers are of recognized responsibility and are

policies shall name Tenant as sole loss payee and shall insure Landlord and
Tenant as their respective interests may appear. Each policy or certificate, to
the extent obtainable, shall contain an agreement by the insurer that such
policy shall not be cancelled without at least 10 days' prior notice to
Landlord. Certificates of such policies shall be delivered by Tenant to
Landlord.
5.04 Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord
hereby releases Tenant from any liability or obligation for damage or
destruction caused to the Premises or any portion thereof by fire or any other

60 day period, a course of action adequate to remedy the same shall be commenced
by Tenant within such period and thereafter shall be prosecuted with diligence
and continuity), or if Tenant shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent or
make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, then, in the event of any such
situation, Landlord, at its option may lawfully enter into and upon the Premises
or any part thereof and repossess the same and evict Tenant and all persons
claiming under and through Tenant, and remove any effects, forcibly, if
necessary, without being guilty of trespass and without prejudice to any
remedies which may be available for arrears of Rents or for Tenant's breach of
covenant; and upon entry as aforesaid, this Lease shall terminate and wholly
expire. In the case of any such termination, Landlord will use its best efforts
to relet the Premises at the best possible rent obtainable and, except for the
period subsequent to any termination by Tenant of this Lease and its obligations
pursuant to Section 2.03, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all loss of
rent which Landlord may incur during the remainder of the period which would
have been the Lease Term in the absence of such termination.
ARTICLE 7. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
7.01 An Environmental Assessment of the Premises has been obtained. Both
Landlord and Tenant have reviewed the Assessment including any completed
remedial work and find the environmental condition acceptable. Landlord hereby
agrees that it shall indemnify, defend and save Tenant harmless from and against
any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, costs and expenses (including
attorneys' fees) (collectively "claims") caused by or arising out of the
presence or release of any hazardous substance on or from the Premises, whether
or not such claims arose on account of the failure of the Tenant to comply with
any environmental laws or regulations, which presence, release or failure to
comply occurred, in whole or in part, (a) prior to the Commencement Date or (b)
during any Control Period (hereinafter defined).
7.02 If Landlord receives reimbursement from an insurer or governmental
authority for any remediation costs, the monthly Basic Rent shall be
appropriately reduced to reflect such reimbursement, less any costs or expenses
associated with obtaining such reimbursement.
ARTICLE 8. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

assign this Lease or any interest herein or sublease all or part of the
Premises.

observance of all of the covenants, conditions and undertakings of Tenant
hereunder.
8.03 Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, during any
Control Period within the Lease Term:
(a) Tenant shall not have any obligation to pay the Rents or to perform
any other obligation of Tenant under this Lease unless and until all
then due basic rent and additional rent under the Sublease have been
paid and all other obligations of the subtenant under the Sublease
which arose during such period have been performed; and
(b) no default of this Lease shall be deemed to have occurred, nor shall
Landlord have the right to enforce this Lease against Tenant
respecting any circumstances or event which shall have occurred during
any Control Period; and
(c) Landlord shall be and shall remain liable for all obligations of
subtenant under the Sublease, including but not limited to Applicable
Taxes and repairs and maintenance.
The term "Control Period" shall mean a period of time which shall commence
when the subtenant under the Sublease (i) is the same person or entity as
Landlord, (ii) controls or is controlled by Landlord, (iii) along with Landlord
is controlled by a third party, or (iv) is a debtor in possession, trustee in
bankruptcy or a receiver of the original subtenant, and which shall end 30 days
after such affiliations and relationships no longer exist and Landlord so
notifies Tenant. For purposes of this Lease, the terms "controls" and
"controlled by" shall mean the power, whether or not exercised, to direct, or
cause the direction of, the management and/or policies of such person or entity,
whether through the ownership of voting securities or by contract or otherwise.
There shall be no waiver of the provisions of this Section 8.03 in the event
Tenant chooses to make payments or to perform any of the obligations of Tenant
under this Lease, and the provisions of this Section shall not affect or
diminish the validity of this Lease or Tenant's estate in the Premises created

disbursements) which shall be asserted against and incurred by Tenant (or
anyone claiming under Tenant) occasioned by or arising from (a) any default by

indemnification.

of Tenant with respect to the Premises. To the extent that Landlord recovers

be adjusted and paid to such date of termination.
11.02 Upon any termination of this Lease, other than pursuant to

Article shall survive any termination of this Lease.

provided, however, that Tenant shall repair any physical damage to the
Premises occasioned by removal thereof.

make any payment including but not limited to Applicable Taxes or to perform
any act required of such other party under any provision of this Lease, any
mortgage note upon the Premises, including without limitation the right of
Tenant to cure any default by Landlord under any mortgage note upon the
Premises, and in exercising such right, to incur necessary or incidental costs
and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees. Nothing herein shall imply
any obligation on the part of either party to make any payment or perform any
act required of the other party, and the exercise of the right so to do shall
not constitute a release of any obligations of a waiver of any default.

13
14.02. All payments made and all costs and expenses incurred in
connection with any exercise of such right shall be reimbursed by the other
party to the party making and paying the same within ten days after notice,

the making of such payments or the incurring of such costs and expenses. In
addition to any other rights and remedies available to either party, Landlord
shall have, in respect of Tenant's failure to make reimbursement of any amount
as aforesaid, the same rights and remedies as in the case of default by Tenant
in the payment of Basic Rent, and Tenant shall have, in respect of Landlord's
failure to make reimbursement of any amount as aforesaid, including, but not
limited to, Applicable Taxes, the right to deduct such amount from the Rents
due and payable or to become due and payable hereunder.

other party to this Lease.
15.03 In the event of a Taking of either the fee of, or the temporary

Date of Taking.
15.04 In the event of a Taking or temporary use of, or a perpetual or
temporary easement, upon less than all of the Premises, if Tenant, in its
reasonable discretion, shall determine that the remaining portions of the
Premises cannot be used satisfactorily for all the specific purposes set forth

within 120 days after the Date of Taking, this Lease shall expire as of the
Date of the Date of Taking, or, if Tenant shall have remained in possession of
the untaken part of the Premises after the Date of Taking, this Lease shall
terminate as of the date specified in such notice by Tenant to Landlord. Such
date shall be no sooner than the date Tenant vacates the Premises, nor later

Premises shall be divided between Landlord and Tenant as follows
(a) Tenant shall be entitled to receive such portion of such awards
or proceeds, with the interest thereon, as shall represent (i)
the value, immediately prior to the Date of Taking, of Tenant's
leasehold estate and Tenant's property so taken, and (ii)
damages to the portion of Tenant's Property and leasehold estate
not so taken; and
(b) Landlord shall be entitled to receive the balance of such awards
or proceeds, with the interest thereon.

of this Lease by Tenant pursuant to Section 15.03 or 15.04:
(a) Landlord immediately shall repair and restore the Premises to the
condition that existed immediately prior to the Taking (or if the
Premises are not capable of being so repaired and restored, then
as closely to such condition as is possible and is consistent
with the use of the Premises as an automotive dealership);
(b) the total of the awards or other proceeds of the Taking, with the
interest thereon, shall first be used to reimburse Landlord for
its actual expenses in restoring or repairing the Premises and
the remainder shall be allocated between Landlord and Tenant in
the manner prescribed in Section 15.05; and

Date of Taking by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
fair market value of the Premises immediately following the Date
of Taking and the denominator of which shall be the fair market
value immediately prior the Date of Taking.
15.07 In the event of any street widening (other than a Taking) or
change of grade affecting the Premises the aggregate of the awards or other
proceeds paid in connection therewith (including any interest included in or
paid in respect of such awards or proceeds) after deducting the reasonable
expenses of Landlord and Tenant in collecting the same, shall be allocated
between Landlord and Tenant in the manner prescribed in Section 15.05, and
there shall be the same reduction in Basic Rent and recited in Section 15.06.
15.08 Nothing contained in this Article 15 shall be deemed to give
Landlord any interest in any award for any Taking of any Tenant's Property of
the property of any subtenant, and all such awards shall belong to Tenant
or such subtenant, as the case may be. All claims for any such award may be
filed and prosecuted by Tenant or any subtenant, as the case may be.
