AGREEMENT
1. TERM
1.1 INITIAL TERM
The initial term of this Lease shall be fifteen (15) years, beginning on
the Lease Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined) and ending fifteen (15)
years thereafter; provided, however, if the Lease Commencement Date would
otherwise be a date other than the first day of the month, the Lease
Commencement Date shall be the first day of the following month.
1.2 LEASE COMMENCEMENT DATE
The Lease Commencement Date of the initial term of this Lease shall be
August 1, 1999, and Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to open for business by
the Lease Commencement Date; provided, however, if the date on which the Leased
Premises are opened for business is delayed due to any act or omission of
Landlord, avoidable and unavoidable casualties (except those intentionally
caused by Tenant), severe weather, strikes, lockouts, unavailability of
materials, governmental restrictions or any other causes beyond Tenant's
control, then the Lease Commencement Date shall be extended by a period equal to
such delay. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lease Commencement Date shall be
postponed for a period not exceeding three (3) months at Tenant's option if the
Lease Commencement Date would otherwise occur in November, December or January,
in which event the Lease Commencement Date shall be a date not later than
February 1. Tenant shall have possession of the Premises upon execution and
delivery of this Lease, subject to the terms hereof. In the event Tenant opens
for business prior to August 1, 1999, the Lease Commencement Date shall be
deemed to be August 1, 1999.
1.3 OPTION TO RENEW
Provided that Tenant is not then in default under the terms of this
Lease, Tenant shall have the option to renew this Lease for four (4) additional
periods of five (5) years each from and after the date of expiration of the
initial term hereof, or any renewal terms hereof, upon the same terms, covenants
and conditions herein set forth, except for rent which shall be determined
pursuant to the schedule hereinafter set forth. Landlord shall give written
notice to Tenant not earlier than one year in advance of expiration of the
initial term or extended term, as the case may be, and ask whether Tenant
intends to exercise its renewal option. If Landlord fails to provide
Page 2

this notice, the time period for Tenant's exercise of the option to extend the
term shall be extended for six (6) months from the date Landlord gives Tenant
such notice. If Tenant elects to exercise said option to renew, Tenant shall do
so by giving Landlord written notice prior to the end of the term or extended
term, as the case may be or within six (6) months of Landlord's notice to Tenant
of the expiration of the term or extended term of the Lease, whichever is later.
Tenant's written notice to Landlord exercising the option to renew shall be
sufficient to make this Lease binding for the renewal term without further act
of the parties.
2. BASE RENT
Tenant shall pay to Landlord each month, as base rent ("Base Rent") for
the Leased Premises, the following:
LEASE YEARS AMOUNT PER MONTH
1 through 5 $36,331.98
6 through 10 $39,982.90
11 through 15 $43,988.28
16 through 20 (Option Period 1) $48,383.56

The Base Rent shall be paid, in advance, on or before the first day of
each calendar month beginning on the Rent Commencement Date and on the first day
of each month thereafter during the term of this Lease. The Rent Commencement
Date shall be August 1, 1999 unless the Lease Commencement Date is postponed as
provided in Section 1.2 above, in which event the Rent Commencement Date shall
be the date on which Tenant opens for business. If Tenant postpones the Lease
Commencement Date because it would otherwise occur in November, December or
January, the Rent Commencement Date shall be the date Tenant opens for business
or February 1, whichever first occurs. If due to a postponement of the Lease
Commencement Date, Tenant opens for business on a day other than the first day
of the month, the Base Rent will be prorated for the month in which the opening
occurs on a 365 day basis and shall be due and payable on opening.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Tenant opens for business prior to
August 1, 1999, Tenant shall not commence paying rent until the Rent
Commencement Date.

3. PERCENTAGE RENT
3.1 GROSS SALES
Tenant agrees, within sixty (60) days after the end of each fiscal year
of Tenant (February 1 through January 31), commencing at the end of Tenant's
fiscal year beginning on February 1 of the year immediately following the Rent
Commencement Date, to determine and report to Landlord Tenant's gross sales from
its use or occupancy of the Leased Premises ("Gross Sales"). The term "Gross
Sales" shall exclude any sales to employees under company plans, transfers of
merchandise between G.I. Joe's stores, receipts from the sale of event tickets
(except that portion of such sales representing commissions or fees received by
Tenant or its affiliates), the amount of returns and refunds, discounts actually
made or given in the ordinary course of business, carrying charges included in
the selling price on conditional sales contracts, financing charges on credit
card sales where the financing charge is not collected at the Leased Premises,
and the amount of any sales tax or other excise tax imposed upon said sales and
charges if such sales tax, excise tax or similar tax is billed to the purchaser
as a separate item, but, except as excluded above, shall include, among other
things, all gross income, fees or commissions from any other operations in, at
or upon the Leased Premises, all deposits received by Tenant at the Leased
Premises and not refunded, all orders received at the Leased Premises by
telephone or mail due to catalog or other canvassing methods, and the selling
price of all goods, wares and merchandise sold, leased or licensed or services
rendered in, on or from the Leased Premises or Tenant's activities in the
Shopping Center, directly by Tenant or through its sublessees, licensees and
concessionaires. The percentage rent shall be equal to one and one-half percent
(1.5%) of Gross Sales less the Base Rent during each fiscal year of Tenant
occurring during the term of this Lease, including any renewal periods. Tenant
agrees to pay Landlord such percentage rent (if any is due), as additional rent,
May 1 of each lease year commencing at the end of the first fiscal year of
Tenant which starts after the Rent Commencement Date. Percentage rent for any
lease month occurring after the Rent Commencement Date but prior to the start of
Tenant's first fiscal year shall be prorated on the basis of, and paid at the
same time as, the percentage rent payable during such first fiscal year.
Furthermore, in the event the term of this Lease ends on a date other than the
ending date of Tenant's fiscal year, percentage rent for that fiscal year shall
be prorated on the basis of percentage rent paid by Tenant in the previous
fiscal year and shall be paid to Landlord within thirty (30) days of the end of
the term or extended term of this Lease.

3.2 GROSS SALES RECORDS
For the purpose of ascertaining the amount of such Gross Sales for any
fiscal year as hereinabove provided Tenant and its sublessees, licensees and
concessionaires will keep accurate books of account that clearly and accurately
show all Gross Sales and maintain an accurate accounting system in such manner
that it can be checked and audited by a competent accountant for a period of
four (4) years. Landlord shall have reasonable access to such books, accounts,
records and reports of Tenant pertaining to its business conducted at said
location and the business of any of its sublessees, licensees and
concessionaires, and Tenant shall permit Landlord or agents of Landlord to
inspect the same at all reasonable times during normal business hours. Upon ten
(10) days' prior written notice to Tenant, Landlord may, once in any lease year,
during reasonable business hours, cause an audit of the business of Tenant
relating to sales from the Leased Premises during any of the preceding three (3)
years to be made by an independent certified public accountant selected by
Landlord and approved by Tenant, and if the statement of Gross Sales previously
made to Landlord for any of the previous three (3) years shall be found to be
understated or overstated, then and in that event there shall be an adjustment,
and one party shall pay to the other, on demand, such sums as may be necessary
to settle in full the accurate amount of said percentage rent that should have
been paid to Landlord for the period or periods covered by such statement or
statements. If said audit shall disclose an understatement of greater than three
percent (3%) of the amount of Gross Sales reported by Tenant for the period of
said audit, then Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord the reasonable cost of
such audit; otherwise, the cost of such audit shall be paid by Landlord.
3.3 NO JOINT VENTURE
Landlord is not, by virtue of this Section 3, a partner or joint
venturer with Tenant in connection with the business carried on under this
Lease, and Landlord shall have no obligation with respect to Tenant's debts or
other liabilities, and no interest in Tenant's profits.
4. PAYMENT OF RENT
Except as expressly provided herein, all rental payments provided for
herein shall be made by check payable to Landlord in U.S. dollars, without
deduction or offset, and paid to Landlord as follows:

or other such place as Landlord may designate by written notice to Tenant.
5. TAXES
Tenant shall pay, as additional rent, before any fine, penalty, interest
or cost may be added thereto for the nonpayment thereof, all ad valorem taxes,
assessments, and other governmental levies and charges of any kind which are
assessed or imposed upon the Leased Premises, including both the land and
improvements thereon, or any part thereof, or which become payable during the
term of this Lease and any extensions hereof. In the event the Leased Premises
are not assessed and taxed separately from the Shopping Center, then Tenant
shall pay its pro rata share of such taxes and assessments of the Shopping
Center as provided in Section 31.3 hereof provided, however, Landlord shall use
its best efforts to segregate the Leased Premises as a separate tax parcel. In
the event that any assessments are levied, Landlord shall elect, if permitted to
do so, to pay the amount of such assessments in installments. In such event,
Tenant shall pay when due only the amount of such installments falling due
during the term of this Lease. All taxes and assessments that are assessed prior
to but payable in whole or in installments after the Lease Commencement Date and
all taxes and assessments that are assessed during the term but payable in whole
or in installments after the end of the term shall be adjusted and prorated so
that Landlord shall pay its prorated share for the periods prior and subsequent
to the term of this Lease, and Tenant shall pay its prorated share for the term
of this Lease.
6. USE
Tenant may use the Leased Premises for the primary purposes of the sale
of sporting goods, outdoor and active apparel, footware, after-market automobile
and truck parts, supplies and accessories, ticket sales and merchandise
incidental to the foregoing and for the secondary purpose of the sale of
unrelated merchandise, provided the sale area of such unrelated merchandise does
not exceed one thousand (1,000) square feet for each category of such
merchandise. Tenant shall use the Leased Premises for no other primary purpose
during the term of this Lease without the written consent of Landlord, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Except for the premises
presently leased to Rite-Aid Pharmacy, Landlord shall not permit any other
Tenant in the Shopping Center to use its premises for the sale of sporting goods
or automobile or truck parts, supplies and accessories unless the merchandise
occupies no more than ten percent (10%) of such tenant's sales area or two
thousand five hundred (2,500) square feet, whichever is less. Tenant's use shall
at all times comply with noncompete restrictions in leases of other Shopping
Center tenants which were recorded prior to October 30, 1998 and with that
certain

Leased Premises, or any portion thereof, which will, in any way, tend to create
a nuisance or to disturb any persons in the Shopping Center, or to unduly create
or cause a fire hazard, or to increase the fire insurance on the Leased
Premises, or to permit any nuisance which shall in any manner be a violation of
the statutes and laws of the United States, the State of Washington or the laws
and ordinances of any political subdivision thereof. Tenant covenants and agrees
to comply with all applicable rules, orders, notices and regulations of any
municipal, state or other authority respecting the Leased Premises.

Leased Premises.
10. REPAIRS
Landlord shall maintain, repair and replace when necessary the roof
structure and roof drainage systems, floor slab, exterior walls, foundation and
structural members of the Building, the utility lines to the point of connection
to the Leased Premises and the sidewalk. Except for the foregoing and repairs
due to damage by fire or other insured peril or condemnation, Landlord shall not
be required to make any repairs, alterations, or improvements to or upon the
Leased Premises during the term of this Lease. Except for repairs to be made by
Landlord, Tenant shall maintain the roof membrane, floor covering, ceiling,
Building lighting, interior finish, doors, windows, plumbing fixtures, sprinkler
systems and alarms, plumbing, electrical and utility services from the point of
connection at the Leased Premises, heating and cooling systems and other
equipment or appliances used for the exclusive benefit of
Page 7
8
Tenant, in good order and repair during the term of this Lease at Tenant's own
cost and expense, reasonable wear and tear, fire and other causes beyond
Tenant's reasonable control excepted. If either party refuses or neglects to
make repairs as required as soon as reasonably possible after written notice
describing the proposed repairs and the estimated cost thereof, the other party,
at its option, may make such repairs, and, upon completion of the repairs and
presentation of a xxxx therefor, the cost of such repairs shall be deemed
additional rent if paid by Landlord, or deducted from rent if paid by Tenant.
11. INSPECTIONS
Tenant agrees to permit Landlord and Landlord's agents to enter upon the
Leased Premises or any part thereof at all reasonable times during normal
business hours upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant and for any reasonable
purpose, including examining the condition of the Leased Premises and making
repairs which Landlord is either required or may desire to make to the Leased
Premises, provided that such entry does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's
use and enjoyment of the Leased Premises.
12. ALTERATIONS
Except as provided in Section 29.1 hereof, Tenant may make alterations
to the interior of the Leased Premises without Landlord's consent. Tenant shall
make no structural alterations to the Leased Premises without the prior written
consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. All trade fixtures and other fixtures not referred to above, and all
machinery, equipment and/or other items of personal property placed in or upon
the Leased Premises by Tenant and paid for by Tenant may be removed by Tenant at
any time. All other improvements made to the Leased Premises during the term of
this Lease shall become the property of Landlord and surrendered with the Leased
Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
13. MECHANICS' LIENS
Tenant shall not suffer or permit any mechanic's lien to be filed
against the fee of the Leased Premises or against Tenant's leasehold interest in
said premises by reason of work, labor, services or materials supplied or
claimed to have been supplied to Tenant or anyone holding the Leased Premises or
any part thereof through or under Tenant, and nothing contained in this Lease
shall be deemed or construed in any way as constituting the consent or request
of Landlord, express or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any contractor,
subcontractor, laborer or materialman for the
Page 8
9
performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials for any specific
improvement, alteration or repair of or to the Leased Premises or any part
thereof, or as giving Tenant any right, power or authority to contract for or
permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any materials that
would give rise to the filing of any mechanic's lien against the fee of the
Leased Premises. If any such mechanic's lien shall at any time be filed against
the Leased Premises, Tenant shall cause the same to be discharged of record or
"bonded over" in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord within ninety (90)
days after the date of filing the same.
14. INSURANCE
14.1 LANDLORD'S POLICIES
Landlord shall, at all times during the term of this Lease, maintain
with insurers authorized to issue insurance in the State of Washington, the
following policies of insurance in effect with respect to the Leased Premises
and the Shopping Center:
14.1.1 PROPERTY
Fire, lightning, hail, windstorm and such other normally insured perils
included under a policy of property/casualty insurance, with endorsements for
earthquake, earth movement and flood if in a flood hazard zone, in the amount of
one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost of the Building (except
for Tenant's improvements) with a so-called "agreed value" endorsement, naming
Tenant, Landlord and any mortgagee or beneficiary under any first mortgage or
first deed of trust, as additional insureds or loss payees, as their interests
may appear.
14.1.2 LIABILITY
Comprehensive general liability insurance, of no less than Five Million
Dollars ($5,000,000) combined single-limit coverage, naming Tenant as an
additional insured thereunder. The limits of such policy shall be reviewed each
five (5) years and increased as commercially reasonable, but no less than
increases in the Consumer Price Index.
14.2 TENANT'S POLICIES
Tenant shall at all times during the term of this Lease maintain, with
insurers authorized to issue insurance in the State of Washington, comprehensive
general liability insurance of no less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000)
combined single-limit coverage for the Leased Premises, naming Landlord as an
additional insured. The limits of such policy shall be reviewed each five (5)
years and increased as
Page 9
10
commercially reasonable, but no less than increases in the Consumer Price Index.
Tenant shall be responsible for insuring or self-insuring its improvements to
the Leased Premises and its inventory and equipment. Landlord shall have no
liability for damage to Tenant's improvements to the Leased Premises or Tenant's
inventory or equipment from fire, lighting, hail, windstorm and such other
perils insured or normally insurable under a policy of property/casualty
insurance, including earthquake and earth movement, flood and sprinkler damage.
14.3 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION/CERTIFICATES
All such policies, to the extent obtainable, shall provide for waiver of
subrogation against Landlord and Tenant and shall contain an agreement by the
insurers that such policies shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30)
days' prior written notice to Landlord and Tenant and to any such mortgagee or
beneficiary named as a loss payee or an additional insured thereunder. The
original of such policy or policies shall remain in possession of the primary
insured; provided, however, that the additional insured shall have the right to
receive a certificate evidencing such insurance or, upon written demand, a
duplicate policy or policies of any such insurance.
15. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
15.1 PARTIAL DAMAGE
If the Leased Premises are partially damaged by fire or other peril
against which Tenant is insured and are rendered partially untenantable thereby,
but such damage does not unreasonably impair Tenant's use or occupancy of the
Leased Premises, then Landlord shall, at Landlord's own expense, using any
proceeds of insurance payable on account of such loss, promptly cause the damage
to be repaired, and the rent shall be abated in proportion to the portion of the
Premises rendered unusable for Tenant's business.
15.2 TOTAL DESTRUCTION
If the Leased Premises are destroyed or damaged by fire or other peril
and are rendered wholly untenantable thereby, or such damage unreasonably
impairs Tenant's use or occupancy thereof, Landlord shall, as promptly as
possible after the occurrence of such damages or destruction, repair or replace
the damaged improvements so as to be in the same condition as before such damage
and destruction, to the extent of available proceeds of insurance. If the damage
and destruction occurs within the last five years of the initial or any option
term, or if the available proceeds are insufficient
Page 10
11
to enable Landlord to repair or replace the damaged improvements to the
condition existing prior to such damage or destruction and Landlord elects not
to contribute its own funds for the completion of the repairs, then Tenant may,
at its option, terminate this Lease. Rent and other sums payable by Tenant under
this Lease shall be totally abated from the date of destruction until Landlord
completes such repairs and Tenant reopens for business.
15.3 TENANT'S IMPROVEMENTS
Tenant shall be responsible for repair or replacement of its
improvements in the event of partial destruction under Section 15.1 above or in
the event Landlord makes the repairs or replacements pursuant to Section 15.2
above, unless Tenant terminates this Lease as therein provided.
16. CONDEMNATION
16.1 COMPLETE TAKING
If a condemning authority takes all the Leased Premises, or a portion
thereof sufficient to render the remaining premises reasonably unsuitable for
the use which Tenant was making of the Leased Premises prior to such taking,
then this Lease shall terminate as of the date title vests in the condemning
authority, and the proceeds from the condemnation shall be apportioned between
Landlord and Tenant in proportion to Landlord's unamortized investment in the
Building and Tenant's unamortized investment in Tenant's improvements to the
Leased Premises.
16.2 PARTIAL TAKING
If a portion of the Leased Premises is taken and the remaining premises
are reasonably suitable for the use Tenant was making of the Leased Premises
prior to such taking, then this Lease shall continue, and the value of all of
Tenant's improvements to the Leased Premises plus that portion of the proceeds
of condemnation reasonably required to make the premises suitable for Tenant's
continued use in a condition as comparable as reasonably practicable to that
existing at the time of condemnation shall be allocated to Tenant and applied by
Tenant for such purpose. All the balance of the award shall be allocated to
Landlord. Rent shall be abated to the extent the Leased Premises are
untenantable during the period of alteration and repair. As of the date title
vests in the condemning authority, the Base Rent due hereunder shall be reduced
commensurately with the amount of the award allocated to Landlord.
Page 11
12
16.3 COMMON AREAS
In the event any of the Common Areas are taken such that parking for the
Leased Premises, or access or visibility to or from the Leased Premises to a
publicly dedicated street or highway, is materially impaired, then if such
taking (a) renders the Leased Premises reasonably unsuitable for the use which
Tenant was making thereof prior to such taking, then such taking shall be deemed
a complete taking, as described in Section 16.1 hereof, and administered in
accordance with the provisions thereof or (b) leaves the Leased Premises
reasonably suitable for the use which Tenant was making thereof prior to such
taking, then such taking shall be deemed a partial taking and any award payable
thereby shall be paid to Landlord, and Landlord shall be obligated to restore
the balance of the Common Areas to the same condition and utility, as reasonably
practicable, as existed immediately prior to such taking.
16.4 SALE IN LIEU OF CONDEMNATION
For purposes of this Lease, a taking by a condemning authority shall
include any purchase or other acquisition in lieu of condemnation.
17. INDEMNIFICATION OF LANDLORD
Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from liability
and claims for damages by reason of any injury to any person or persons,
including Tenant, or property, upon or in any way connected with the Leased
Premises during the term of this Lease, any renewal hereof or any occupancy
hereunder, except for the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its
employees or agents. Tenant shall have the right, in the name of Landlord, to
contest the validity of any and all such claims, of any kind or character and by
whomsoever claimed, and, at Tenant's expense, to defend, settle and/or
compromise any and all such claims.
18. QUIET ENJOYMENT
Provided that Tenant keeps, observes and performs all the covenants,
agreements, conditions and provisions herein to be kept, observed or performed
by Tenant, Landlord covenants and warrants that Tenant shall, at all times
during the term and extended term hereof, have the peaceable, quiet and
exclusive enjoyment of the Leased Premises, to have and hold the same during the
term and extended term hereof.

19. SUBORDINATION, NONDISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT
Upon written request or notice by Landlord or any first mortgagee or
beneficiary under a first deed of trust of Landlord encumbering the Shopping
Center, the Leased Premises or the Common Areas, Tenant agrees to subordinate
its rights under this Lease to the lien of any such first mortgage or deed of
trust, and to any and all advances to be made thereunder, and to the interest
thereon, and all renewals, replacements and extensions thereof, provided the
mortgagee or beneficiary named in said mortgage or deed of trust shall agree to
recognize this Lease of Tenant and shall further agree not to disturb this Lease
or any rights of Tenant hereunder in the event of foreclosure or Trustee's sale,
if Tenant is not in default hereunder. Tenant also agrees that any such first
mortgagee or beneficiary may elect to have this Lease made prior to the lien of
its mortgage or deed of trust, and in the event of such election and upon
notification by such mortgagee or beneficiary to Tenant to that effect, this
Lease shall be deemed prior in lien to the said mortgage or deed of trust,
whether this Lease is dated prior to or subsequent to the date of said mortgage
or deed of trust. Tenant agrees that, upon the request of Landlord or any
mortgagee or any beneficiary named in such mortgage or deed of trust, Tenant
will execute and deliver an instrument confirming such purposes. Tenant, in the
event of the sale or assignment of Landlord's interest in the Shopping Center or
in the event of any proceedings brought for the foreclosure of such mortgage or
deed of trust, or in the event of the exercise of the power of sale under any
such deed of trust, shall attorn to and recognize such purchaser, mortgagee or
beneficiary as Landlord under this Lease. Landlord shall obtain nondisturbance
and attornment agreements in which the holders of all existing mortgages and
deeds of trust on the Leased Premises agree not to disturb this Lease or any
rights of Tenant hereunder in the event of foreclosure or Trustee's sale, if
Tenant is not in default hereunder.
20. DEFAULTS
20.1 DEFAULTS DEFINED
The following events shall be deemed to be events of default by Tenant
under this Lease:

14
(b) If Tenant shall fail to comply with any term, condition or
covenant of this Lease, other than the payment of rent, and shall not cure such

shall not have commenced to cure such failure within thirty (30) days after
written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant and Tenant shall not with
reasonable diligence and good faith proceed in the curing of such failure.
(c) If Tenant shall become insolvent or shall make an assignment
for the benefit of creditors, or if Tenant files a petition under any chapter of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code seeking to be adjudicated a bankrupt, or if any other

dismissed within ninety (90) days of filing, or if a receiver or beneficiary
shall be appointed for all or substantially all the assets of Tenant.

cash value, plus any and all other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer,
including, without limitation, reasonable alterations to the Leased Premises,
brokerage and marketing expenses, reasonable attorneys' fees and any concessions

compliance with Tenant's obligations under this Lease, and Tenant further agrees
that Landlord shall not be liable for any damage resulting to Tenant from such
action caused by Landlord, except for damage caused by Landlord's gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
20.3 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE
Landlord may pursue any of the foregoing remedies singly or cumulatively
and in addition any other remedies provided by law; pursuit of any remedy herein
provided shall not constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any rent due to Landlord
hereunder or of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of
any of the terms, conditions and covenants herein contained; no termination or
cancellation shall include a cancellation of Tenant's obligations hereunder for
any deficiency or damage upon reletting subsequent to said termination or
cancellation, such obligations being independent and such covenants surviving
said termination or cancellation.
21. SURRENDER
Upon the expiration of the term of this Lease or any sooner termination
hereof, Tenant covenants and agrees that Tenant shall, without notice, promptly
and peaceably surrender possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord, broom
clean, in as good a condition as at the time of Tenant's entry thereon,
reasonable wear and tear, and damage from causes beyond Tenant's reasonable
control excepted.
22. HOLDOVER
If Tenant shall hold over and remain in possession of the Leased
Premises after the expiration of the term or extended term herein granted,

month which may be terminated at any time by Landlord or Tenant upon thirty (30)
days' written notice.
23. WAIVER
Any waiver of any breach of covenants herein contained to be kept and
performed hereunder shall not be deemed or considered as a continuing waiver and
shall not operate to bar or prevent Landlord or Tenant from declaring a default
for any succeeding breach, either of the same condition or covenant or
otherwise. The acceptance of rent by Landlord hereunder shall never be construed
to be a waiver of
Page 15
16
any term of this Lease. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser
amount than shall be due according to the terms of this Lease shall be deemed or
construed to be other than on account of the earliest rent due.

party.
30.2 TENANT'S COVENANTS
Tenant covenants with Landlord that hazardous substances shall not be

Premises, damages for the loss or restriction on the use, marketability or any

Page 19

31. COMMON AREAS
31.1 DEFINED

Shopping Center outside the exterior walls of the buildings located thereon
which are not reserved for the exclusive use of Landlord, Tenant or any other
tenant or occupant of the Shopping Center. Common Areas shall include automobile
parking areas, access roads, driveways, sidewalks, pedestrian walkways and
stairways, landscaped areas and utility lines and systems. Common Areas shall
not include the interior space of any building located in the Shopping Center or
any area immediately appurtenant to such building which is reserved for the
exclusive use of such building, such as loading docks.
31.2 LANDLORD'S OBLIGATIONS
Landlord shall, at all times during the term of this Lease, keep the
Common Areas in good maintenance and repair, and shall
(a) maintain suitable means of illumination sufficient to
illuminate the parking areas during all twilight and night hours that Tenant's
store is open for business and is in operation;
(b) maintain and keep the parking areas, driveways, sidewalks and
access roads in good condition and repair, with a hard surface pavement and
properly striped;
(c) clean and remove debris and, where reasonably practicable,
ice and snow from the parking areas, driveways and access roads;
(d) clean and maintain sidewalks and other pedestrian walkways
and stairways and remove debris and, where reasonably practicable, ice and snow
therefrom; provided, however, that Tenant shall keep the sidewalk immediately in
front of the Leased Premises clean and free from debris, ice and snow;
(e) maintain and keep in good condition all landscaping and
irrigation systems;
(f) maintain all pylon signs;
(g) keep the exterior of all buildings in the Shopping Center in
good repair and paint as necessary;
Page 20
21
(h) maintain all other portions of the Common Areas in good order
and repair; and
(i) obtain and maintain insurance insuring both Landlord and
Tenant as herein provided.
31.3 TENANT'S PRO RATA SHARE
(a) Beginning on the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, in the manner provided below, Tenant's pro rata share of Landlord's
actual costs of maintaining and operating the Common Areas during the term of
the Lease. "Actual costs of maintaining and operating the Common Areas" shall be
limited only to items of expense, and not capitalized, as determined under
generally accepted accounting principles and shall include, but not be limited
to, the following: all necessary amounts paid by Landlord as actual costs for
maintaining and repairing the Common Areas, including, without limitation,
cleaning; snow and ice removal; costs and expenses of planting, replanting and
replacing flowers, shrubs and landscaping; water and sewage charges for the
Common Areas; maintenance, repair and replacement of lights, light standards,
utility systems, electricity, drainage systems and other utility charges;
repair, maintenance and upkeep of the parking areas, driveways, access roads,
sidewalks and pedestrian walkways, including the costs of paving, repaving,
surfacing, resurfacing, striping and restriping the same; operation and
maintenance of signs for the Shopping Center or rental for such signs if leased;
installation, replacement, repair and maintenance of traffic control and
directional signs and devices; premiums for insurance as herein provided;
existing and future real property taxes and assessments (in the event such
assessments are assessed, Landlord shall elect, if permitted to do so, to pay
the amount of such assessments in installments, and, thereafter, only the amount
of the installment paid shall be included in the actual costs of maintaining and
operating the Common Areas); personal property taxes on equipment and materials
used to maintain the Common Areas; and policing the Common Areas, including
controlling trespassing, picketing, demonstrations, assemblies, vandalism and
thefts and affording security and fire protection therefor. "Actual costs of
maintaining and operating the Common Areas" shall also include an administrative
fee of ten percent (10%) of the above-described costs; provided, that, in
computing said administrative fee, all capital items and all replacement items
in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) per annum, real estate taxes and
assessments and insurance premiums shall be excluded. Items of expense shall not
include management fees, depreciation, reserves for replacement or items of
capital improvements exceeding Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) per annum without
Tenant's prior written consent. Landlord agrees to expend only the monies
reasonably necessary for such operation and maintenance in order to keep the
Page 21
22
Common Areas in good repair and clean condition and to operate the same on a
nonprofit basis. Costs attributable to a contract between Landlord and an
affiliated party shall not be included, unless that contract is previously
approved in writing by Tenant.
(b) Tenant's pro rata share of the necessary actual costs of
maintaining and operating the Common Areas limited as provided above shall be a
percentage computed by dividing the interior floor area of the Leased Premises,
which is hereby agreed to be forty-two thousand five hundred thirty-five
(42,535) square feet at the Lease Commencement Date, by the total floor area of
all buildings in the Shopping Center. At the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant's
pro rata share is as follows: 25.7% of the actual costs of maintaining and
operating the Common Areas as described in Section 31.1, except real estate
taxes and assessments and insurance premiums; 25.7% of real estate taxes and
assessments and casualty/property insurance premiums including earthquake
coverage; and 25.7% of liability insurance premiums. If Tenant approves a change
in the Site Plan which increases or decreases the floor area of the Building
relative to the aggregate floor area of the other buildings to be constructed in
the Shopping Center, then Tenant's pro rata share shall be adjusted accordingly.
(c) The annual charge to Tenant shall be paid in monthly
installments, in advance, at the time of the Base Rent payment, in an amount
reasonably estimated by Landlord. On or before April 1 of each calendar year
(and within ninety (90) days after the termination of this Lease), Landlord
shall furnish Tenant with a statement in reasonable detail of the actual costs
of maintaining and operating the Common Areas actually paid or incurred by
Landlord during such period, and, thereupon, there shall be an adjustment
between Landlord and Tenant, with payment to or repayment by Landlord, as
required, so that Landlord shall receive the entire amount of Tenant's pro rata
share of such costs for such period.
31.4 AUDIT OF COMMON AREA EXPENSES
Tenant shall have the right at all reasonable times to examine the books
and records of Landlord relating to the Common Areas expense or to audit the
same. In the event an audit or review should show an error in the Common Areas
expense or the allocation thereof to Tenant exceeding (3%) in any calendar year,
Landlord shall reimburse Tenant the cost of such audit or review.
Page 22
23
31.5 RULES AND REGULATIONS
The Common Areas will be maintained for the common use of all lessees
and sublessees of Landlord, their customers, visitors, employees, business
invitees and licensees and persons dealing with lessees, sublessees and
Landlord. Neither Tenant nor Landlord shall do any act to unreasonably prevent
or obstruct such common use and free ingress to and egress from the Common
Areas; provided, however, that Landlord may make such rules and regulations
governing the use of the Common Areas as may be reasonably necessary to regulate
the use of such Common Areas, and may restrict the use of or access to any
portion of the Common Areas when such restriction is necessary or advisable for
purposes of security or safety, or for the construction, reconstruction, repair,
maintenance or preservation of the Common Areas or any buildings located in the
Shopping Center. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained,
Tenant shall have the right to use the sidewalk in front of the Building and/or
certain portions of the parking areas, from time to time, for sidewalk sales,
parking lot sales, special events, or product demonstrations.
32. COVENANT OF ACCESS AND VIEW
Landlord covenants that the Leased Premises shall not be denied access
to, or have the view unreasonably obstructed from, any publicly dedicated street
or highway adjoining the Shopping Center, except as shown on the Site Plan.
33. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Tenant may, without the prior written consent of Landlord, license any
concession or sublet any portion at the Leased Premises not exceeding two
thousand five hundred (2,500) square feet to any single concessionaire or
subtenant, so long as the primary use of the Leased Premises is not changed and
so long as such concessionaire or subtenant agrees to observe the Safeway
Covenant. Tenant may also assign all of its interest under this Lease, or sublet
all or any portion of the Leased Premises, if the proposed assignee or sublessee
has a net worth greater than or equal to Tenant on the date hereof and the use
of the Leased Premises by the proposed assignee or sublessee shall be for a
primary purpose or purposes then permitted under this Lease. Tenant may, in all
other cases, assign all of its interest under this Lease, or sublet all or any
part of the Leased Premises, only with the prior written consent of Landlord,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Page 23
24
34. ZONING; PERMITTED USES
Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that the use of the
Leased Premises as a G.I. Joe's store does not breach any protective covenants,

Shopping Center or binding upon the Leased Premises, which were not recorded as
of October 30, 1998.
35. STRUCTURE
Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that the structural elements
of the Building, including the roof and floor slab, are in good condition and

of this Lease. Landlord covenants and agrees to pay to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx &
Associates One Hundred Six Thousand Three Hundred Twenty Seven and 50/100
Dollars ($106,327.50) commission, one half to be paid upon receipt of an invoice
following the execution of this Lease and the balance to be paid upon receipt of
an invoice following Tenant opening for business. Furthermore, Landlord shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tenant from and against any loss, damage,
claim, cost or expense which Tenant may incur as the result of a failure by
Landlord to pay such brokerage commissions.
38. ESTOPPELS
Landlord or Tenant shall, at any time and from time to time, upon not
less than ten (10) business days' prior written notice from the other, execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, a statement
in writing (a) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and
effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying
that this Lease as so modified is in full force and effect) and the date to
which the rental and other charges are paid in advance, if any; (b)
acknowledging that, to Landlord's or Tenant's knowledge, there
Page 24
25
are no uncured defaults on the part of Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be,
or specifying such defaults if any are claimed; and (c) setting forth the date
of commencement of rents and expiration of the term hereof. Any such statement
may be relied upon by the prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any
part of the Shopping Center.
39. SURVEY
Landlord promptly shall furnish to Tenant a copy of Landlord's as-built
survey of the Leased Premises.
40. CONFIGURATION OF SHOPPING CENTER

privilege of making changes to the configuration of the Shopping Center,
including the size and location of building pads, Common Areas and parking
areas, the location and relocation of driveways, entrances, exits and parking
spaces, the direction and flow of traffic, the installation of prohibited areas,
landscaped areas, and all other facilities thereof, so long as no such
reconfiguration (a) materially impairs access to or from, or visibility of the
Leased Premises from, any publicly dedicated street or highway, (b) materially
reduces the amount or location of parking available for the Leased Premises, or
(c) materially increases Tenant's pro rata share of the actual costs of
maintaining and operating the Common Areas.
41. ARBITRATION
All disputes between Landlord and Tenant under this Lease, other than
nonpayment of rent, shall be arbitrated and decided by a single arbitrator
mutually agreed to by the parties under such terms as the parties may agree
upon. If the parties cannot agree upon an arbitrator or the terms of
arbitration, either party may apply to the American Arbitration Association for
appointment of a qualified, disinterested arbitrator and the arbitration will be
conducted pursuant to the commercial rules of the American Arbitration
Association. All costs of the arbitrator shall be shared equally by Landlord and
Tenant.
42. OPERATING COVENANT
Tenant covenants that it will not cease operation in the Leased Premises
for any period exceeding sixty (60) days in any one-year period, excluding
periods in which operations are discontinued for remodeling or repair following
damage from casualty loss or loss of utilities, parking or access to the
Shopping Center or Leased Premises. In the event one or more tenants comprising
a combined total of sixty
Page 25
26
thousand (60,000) square feet or more of gross floor area in the Shopping Center
cease operating, then Tenant shall have the right to cease operating until such
tenant or tenants reopen for business.
43. TITLE INSURANCE
Landlord shall obtain the issuance of a leasehold policy of title
insurance issued by First American Title Insurance Company subject only to the
exceptions set forth in its preliminary commitment No. 394081-5K dated October

Landlord shall cause the Lease to Safeway Stores, Incorporated to be deleted as
an exception. Tenant shall pay the premium on the title policy.
44. EFFECTIVE DATE
Notwithstanding the references herein to the Lease Commencement Date and
the Rent Commencement Date, this Lease shall not become binding upon Landlord
and Tenant until Landlord and Safeway Inc. enter into an agreement terminating
Safeway's lease of the Leased Property and Landlord delivers possession of the
Leased Premises to Tenant; provided, however, if Landlord and Safeway Inc. fail
to
enter into an agreement terminating Safeway Inc.'s tenancy by midnight December
31, 1998, this Lease shall, at Tenant's option, become null and void.
