(B) Rent during the period of such repairs shall be wholly abated if all of Premises have been thus repossessed by Lessor or otherwise made unavailable to Lessee for Lessee's reasonable beneficial use and enjoyment or Lessee's conduct of Lessee's usual business therein for the purpose of repair for the period that Lessee has been dispossessed; and if only a portion of Premises is thus repossessed or otherwise unavailable to Lessee for Lessee's reasonable beneficial use and enjoyment or Lessee's conduct of Lessee's usual business therein, Rent shall be abated for such dispossession or unavailability pro rata, based on the portion of Premises thus repossessed or rendered unavailable during the period of repossession or unavailability. Any Rent abatement under this Article XIII shall commence as of the date of the destruction.

(C) Lessor shall not be required to rebuild, repair, or replace any part of the personal property, furniture, equipment, fixtures, and other improvements which may have been placed by Lessee within Premises, unless the damage thereto is caused by the sole negligence or willful act or omission or default hereunder of Lessor or Lessor's agents, employees, subtenants, assignees, or independent contractors. Any insurance which may be carried by Lessor or Lessee for damage to Premises or to any personal property, fixtures, and related items therein shall be for the sole benefit of the party carrying such insurance and under its sole control; provided, however, Lessor shall carry insurance for the benefit of Lessor and Lessee sufficient to cover the full replacement cost of the shell of Premises and an amount equal to the initial Lessee improvements and related allowances set forth in Lease as well as insurance sufficient to cover Lessee's furniture, equipment, fixtures, personal property, and other improvement that Lessor shall have liability therefor under Lease.

(D) Should Premises be destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty that is due to the direct negligence or willful or wanton conduct of Lessee or Lessee's agents, employees, subtenants, assignees or independent contractors, Lessor may repair such damage, and there shall be no apportionment or abatement of Rent.

(E) Any insurance carried by Lessor or Lessee for damage to Premises or to any personal property, fixtures and related items therein shall be for the sole benefit of the party carrying such insurance and under its sole control, and all compensation awarded to a party under a policy carried by it shall be for the benefit of that party, without any participation by the other party.

ARTICLE XIV
CONDEMNATION

14.01 Condemnation. Lessor, within five (5) days of Lessor's receipt of any notice of the institution of eminent domain or condemnation proceedings or threat thereof with respect to all or any part of Premises, shall give written notice to Lessee of the same. Lessee shall have the option to terminate Lease within sixty (60) days after receipt of said notice from Lessor should such condemnation effect twenty percent (20%) or more of Premises and Lessee determines that such condemnation will interfere with Lessee's ability to continue its business operations in substantially the same manner or space as existed prior to the condemnation or deed in lieu thereof. Lessee's obligation under Lease including but not limited to Lessee's obligation to pay Rent hereunder, shall cease upon Lessee's termination of Lease pursuant to the terms of this Article; however, Lessee shall be obligated to pay all Rent due on or before the date of termination down through the date Lessee surrenders possession of Premises to Lessor.

14.02 Compensation. If any portion of Premises is taken through eminent domain or condemnation proceedings, Lessor and Lessee agree that all compensation paid for Premises, including any value of Lessee's leasehold interest in Premises, will be paid to and be the property of Lessor. Lessee may independently seek compensation for any of its own trade fixtures, business interruption, going concern, moving expenses and other items so long as such compensation does not reduce the compensation provided to Lessor for Premises.

ARTICLE XV
DEFAULT

15.01 Default by Lessee. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute a default under Lease:

(A) Lessee fails to pay any installment of Rent within ten (10) business days after such installment is due, and fails to cure such delinquency within (3) business days after actual receipt of written notice thereof by Lessee from Lessor:

(B) Lessee fails to pay any additional item or any other charge or sum required to be paid by Lessee hereunder within thirty (30) days after actual receipt of written notice thereof by Lessee from Lessor; or

(C) Lessee fails to perform or commence in good faith and proceed with reasonable diligence to perform any of its covenants under Lease within thirty (30) days after actual receipt of written notice thereof by Lessee from Lessor.

15.02 Lessor's Remedies. In the event Lessee is in default pursuant to the conditions set forth in Section 15.01 above, Lessor, during the continuation of such default, shall have the option of pursuing either of the following remedies:

a. Lessor may terminate Lease, in which event Lessee immediately shall surrender possession of Premises. All obligations of Lessee under the Lease, including Lessee's obligation to pay Rent under the Lease, shall cease upon the date of termination except for Lessee's obligation to pay Rent due and outstanding as of the date of termination.

x. Xxxxxx, without terminating the Lease, may require Lessee to remove all property from Premises within thirty (30) days so that Lessor may re-enter and relet Premises to minimize Lessor's damages. In the event Lessee shall fail to remove all property within thirty (30) days after said demand, Lessor shall be entitled to remove Lessee's property to a storage facility, and all reasonable costs of such removal and storage shall be deemed Additional Rent. Lessor may enforce all of its rights and remedies under Lease, including the right to recover Rent as it becomes due hereunder, provided that Lessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to re-let Premises and to mitigate its damages under the Lease.

x. Xxxxxx may accelerate and declare the entire remaining unpaid Rent for the remainder of the term to be immediately due and payable forthwith and may, at once, take legal action to recover and collect the same, such amount being discounted to present value using the prime rate published by a national bank acceptable to Lessee and Lessor and such amount reduced by the amount of rent Lessor will receive by reletting Premises for the remainder of the term or portion thereof.

d. If Lease is terminated as set forth, Lessor may relet Premises (or any portion thereof) for such rent and upon such terms as Lessor is able to obtain (which may be for lower or higher rent, and for a shorter or longer term), and Lessee shall be liable for all damages sustained by Lessor, including but not limited to any deficiency in rent for the duration of Base Term and/ or Renewal Terms (or for the period of time which would have remained in Base Term and/or Renewal Term in the absence of any termination, leasing fees, attorneys' fees, other marketing and collection costs, tenant concessions or allowances, and all expenses of placing Premises in first class rentable condition).

e. Nothing contained herein diminishes any right Lessor may have under South Carolina law to xxx Lessee for damages in the event of any default by Lessee under Lease, or from pursuing any other remedy available to Lessor at law or in equity.

ARTICLE XVI

BANKRUPTCY OR INSOLVENCY

16.01 Right to Terminate. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if termination of Lease shall be stayed by order of a federal bankruptcy court, or by federal or state statute, then, following the expiration of any such stay, or if Lessee or Lessee as debtor-in-possession or the trustee appointed in any such proceeding (being collectively referred to as "Lessee" only for the purposes of this Section) shall fail to assume Lessee's obligations under Lease within the period prescribed therefore by law or within fifteen (15) days after entry of the order for relief or as may be allowed by the court, or if Lessee shall fail to provide adequate protection of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to Premises or adequate assurance of the complete and continuous future performance of Lessee's obligations under Lease, Lessor, to the extent permitted by law or by leave of the court having jurisdiction over such proceeding, shall have the right, at its election, to terminate Lease on fifteen (15) days' notice to Lessee and upon the expiration of said fifteen (15) day period Lease shall cease and expire as aforesaid and Lessee shall immediately quit and surrender Premises as aforesaid. Upon the termination of Lease as provided above, Lessor, without notice, may re-enter and repossess Premises using such force for that purpose as may be necessary without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefore and may dispossess Lessee by summary proceedings or otherwise.

16.02 Adequate Protection. For the purposes of the Section 16.01, adequate protection of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to Premises, and adequate assurance of the complete and continuous future performance of Lessee's obligations under Lease, shall include, without limitation, the following requirements:

(A) that Lessee comply with all of its obligations under Lease;

(B) that Lessee pay to Lessor, on the first day of each month occurring subsequent to the entry of such order, or the effective date of such stay, a sum equal to the amount by which Premises diminished in value during the immediately preceding monthly period, but, in no event, any amount which is less than the aggregate Rent payable for such monthly period;

(D) that Lessor be permitted to supervise the performance of Lessee's obligations under Lease;

(E) that Lessee pay to Lessor within fifteen (15) days after entry of such order or the effective date of such stay, as partial adequate protection against future diminution in value of Premises and adequate assurance of the complete and continuous future performance of Lessee's obligations under Lease, an additional security deposit in an amount acceptable to Lessor;

(F) that Lessee has and will continue to have unencumbered assets after the payment of all secured obligations and administrative expenses to assure Lessor that sufficient funds will be available to fulfill the obligations to Lessee under Lease;

(G) that if Lessee assumes Lease and proposes to assign the same (pursuant to Title 11 U.S.C. § 365, or as the same may be amended) to any person who shall have made a bona fide offer to accept an assignment of Lease on terms acceptable to such court having competent jurisdiction over Lessee's estate, then notice of such proposed assignment, setting forth (x) the name and address of such person, (y) all of the terms and conditions of such offer, and (z) the adequate assurance to be provided Lessor to assure such person's future performance under Lease, including, without limitation, the assurances referred to in Title 11 U.S.C. § 365(b)(3), as it may be amended, shall be given to Lessor by Lessee no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt by Lessee of such offer, but in any event no later than thirty (30) days prior to the date that Lessee shall make application to such court for authority and approval to enter into such assignment and assumption, and Lessor shall thereupon have the prior right and option, to be exercised by notice to Lessee given at any time prior to the effective date of such proposed assignment, to accept, or to cause Lessor's designee to accept, an assignment of Lease upon the same terms and conditions and for the same consideration, if any, as the bona fide offer made by such person less any brokerage commission which may be payable out of the consideration to be paid by such person for the assignment of Lease; and

(H) that if Lessee assumes Lease and proposes to assign the same, and Lessor does not exercise its option pursuant to subsection (vii) above, Lessee hereby agrees that:

(i) such assignee shall have a net worth not less than the net worth of Lessee as of Lease Commencement Date, or such Lessee's obligations under Lease shall be unconditionally guaranteed by a person having a net worth equal to Lessee's net worth as of Lease Commencement Date;

(ii) such assignee shall not use Premises except subject to all the restrictions contained in Lease;

(iii) such assignee shall assume in writing all of the terms, covenants and conditions of Lease including, without limitation, all of such terms, covenants and conditions respecting the permitted uses and payment of Rent, and such assignee shall provide Lessor with assurances satisfactory to Lessor that it has the experience in operating stores having the same or substantially similar uses as the current use for Lease of Premises, in first-class shopping centers, sufficient to enable it so to comply with the terms, covenants and conditions of Lease and successfully operate Premises;

(iv) such assignee shall indemnify Lessor against, and pay to Lessor the amount of, any payments which Lessor may be obligated to make to any mortgagee by virtue of such assignment; and

(v) if such assignee makes any payment to Lessee, or for Lessee's account, for the right to assume Lease (including, without limitation, any lump sum payment, installment payment or payment in the nature of rent over and above Rent payable under Lease), Lessee shall pay over to Lessor one-half of any such payment.

ARTICLE XVII

LESSEE'S RIGHT TO SUBLEASE AND ASSIGN

17.01 Sublease. Lessee may not sublet Premises or assign Lease without the prior written consent of Lessor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If such consent is granted, Lessee shall remain liable to Lessor for the faithful performance of all of the covenants and conditions, including rental payment, required to be kept and performed under the terms of Lease. Any assignment by operation of law as a result of a corporate merger or re-organization shall require the previous written consent of Lessor.

17.02 Violation. Any violation of any provision of Lease, whether by act or omission, by any assignee or subtenant of Lessee, shall be deemed a violation of such provision by Lessee, it being the intention and meaning of the parties hereto that Lessee shall assume and be liable to Lessor for any and all acts and omissions of any and all assignees or subtenants of Lessee. If Premises or any part thereof is sublet or occupied by any person other than Lessee, Lessor, in the event of Lessee's default, may and is hereby empowered to collect rent from the subtenant or occupant; Lessor may apply the net amount received by it to the rent herein reserved and no such collection shall be deemed a release of Lessee from the further performance of the covenants herein contained.

ARTICLE XVIII

LESSOR'S RIGHT TO MORTGAGE AND SELL

18.01 Estoppel Certificate. Within five (5) business days after written request therefor by either Lessor or Lessee to the other, or in the event that upon any sale, assignment, hypothecation of Premises, and/or the land thereunder, or a leasehold loan by Lessee of its leasehold estate herein, an estoppel statement shall be required from Lessor or Lessee, Lessor and Lessee agree to deliver to each other, in recordable form, a certificate to any proposed mortgagee or purchaser, certifying that Lease is in full force and effect, that there are no defenses thereto, or stating those claimed by Lessor or Lessee, and as to such other matters as may be reasonably requested.

18.02 Subordination and Attornment. Lease, and all rights of Lessee hereunder, shall be subject and subordinate to any mortgage constituting a first lien on the property of which Premises is a part, or any part thereof, whether such mortgage has heretofore been or may hereafter be placed upon said property to secure an indebtedness to any savings and loan association, bank, trust company or insurance company or any other institutional lender, private or public, and to any renewal, modification, consolidation, replacement or extension of any such mortgage.

(A) During the term, upon Lessor's request, Lessee shall execute a non-disturbance and subordination agreement wherein Lessee shall agree that Lease is and shall be subordinate to the lien of any mortgages in any amount or amounts on all or any part of the land or buildings comprising Premises, or on or against Lessor's interest or estate therein. Lessee covenants and agrees to execute and deliver upon demand such further instruments evidencing such subordination of Lease to the lien of any such mortgage as may be required by Lessor within ten (10) days of demand therefor. Notwithstanding anything hereinabove contained, in the event the holder of any such mortgage shall at any time elect to have Lease constitute a prior or superior lien to its mortgage, then and in such event upon any such mortgage holder notifying Lessee to that effect, Lease shall be deemed prior and superior in lien to such mortgage irrespective of whether Lease is dated prior to or subsequent to the date of such mortgage or lease.

(B) If Lessor enters into one or more mortgages and Lessee is advised in writing of the name and address of the mortgagee under such mortgage, then Lease shall not be terminated or canceled on account of any default by Lessor in the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof on its part contained, until Lessee shall have given written notice of such default to such mortgagee, specifying the default, in which event such mortgagee shall have the right to cure Lessor's default as otherwise provided herein and which cure shall be accepted by Lessee.

(C) Lessee shall, in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of or in the event of sale under any mortgage made by Lessor covering Premises, attorn to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure of sale and recognize such purchaser as Lessor under Lease.

18.03 Transfer of Lessor's Interest. Lessor shall have the right to convey, transfer or assign, by sale or otherwise, all or any part of its interest in Lease or Premises at any time and from time to time and to any person, subject to the terms and conditions of Lease. All covenants and obligations of Lessor under Lease shall not cease upon the execution of such conveyance, transfer or assignment, but such covenants and obligations shall run with the land and shall be binding upon any subsequent owner thereof.

ARTICLE XIX

SECURITY DEPOSIT; TRADE FIXTURES; SURRENDER OF PREMISES

19.01 Security Deposit. Upon the execution of Lease by Lessee, Lessee shall (i) prepay the monthly Base Rent for the first full calendar month of the first Lease Year and (ii) deposit with Lessor an amount equal to the monthly Base Rent for the first Lease Year as security for Lessee's faithful performance of its obligations hereunder (hereinafter "Security Deposit") with Lessor.

(A) If Lessee fails to pay Rent or other charges due hereunder or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of the Lease, Lessor may use, apply, or retain all or any portion of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent or other charge in default or for the payment of any other sum to which Lessor may become obligated by reason of Lessee's default, or to compensate Lessor for any loss or damage with Lessor may suffer thereby. If Lessor so uses or applies all or any portion of the Security Deposit, then Lessee, within ten (10) days after written demand therefore, shall deposit with Lessor such portion of the Security Deposit used by Lessor to return the Security Deposit to the full amount herein above stated, and Lessee's failure to do so shall be a material breach of Lease. Upon any increase in Base Rent during Lease Term or any extension thereof, Lessee shall thereupon deposit with Lessor an additional amount so that the amount of the Security Deposit shall at all times equal the current Monthly Base Rent. Lessor shall not be required to either keep the Security Deposit in an interest-bearing account or in an account separate from its general accounts. If Lessee performs all of Lessee's obligations hereunder, the Security Deposit, less any amounts applied by Lessor and without payment of interest or other increment for its use, shall be returned to Lessee (or at Lessor's option, to the last assignee, if any, of Lessee's interest hereunder) at the expiration of the term (and after Lessee has vacated Premises). No trust relationship is created herein between Lessor and Lessee with respect to Security Deposit.

(B) Lessee shall not to look to any mortgagee as mortgagee, mortgagee in possession or successor in title to Premises for accountability for any security deposit required by Lessor hereunder, unless said sums have actually been received by mortgagee as security for Lessee's performance of Lease. Lessor may deliver the funds deposited hereunder by Lessee to the purchaser of Lessor's interest in Premises, in the event that such interest is sold, and thereupon Lessor shall be discharged from any further liability with respect to said security deposit.

19.02 Trade Fixtures. All fixtures, equipment, and every other item of property not permanently attached to Premises and not paid for by Lessor, and any of such items leased by Lessee under bona fide leases from third party owners, are to remain and be the property of Lessee and Lessee is to have the right and privilege of removing any and all such property and equipment at any time during the continuance of Lease or any extensions hereof. In the event the aforesaid equipment is not removed by Lessee by the termination of Lease, Lessee shall relinquish its rights to said property/equipment. If said equipment is removed, Lessee shall restore Premises to their condition prior to the removal of such property. It is further understood and agreed that the buildings and structures installed on Premises by Lessor, may not be removed by Lessee at the termination of Lease.

19.02 Surrender. Lessee shall on the expiration or the sooner termination of Lease term surrender to Lessor Premises, including all buildings, replacements, changes, additions, and Improvements constructed or placed by Lessee thereon, except for all moveable trade fixtures, equipment, and personal property belonging to Lessee, broom-clean, free of sub-tenancies, and in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

GUARANTY OF LEASE

In order to induce 0000 X Xxx 00, LLC (hereinafter "Lessor") to execute that certain Lease Agreement (the "Lease") by and between Lessor and Goldleaf Distribution (hereinafter "Lessee") and Kona Gold Solutions Inc (hereinafter "Guarantors") for Premises located at 0000 Xxx 00, Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx (the "Premises"), the undersigned hereby unconditionally guarantees the payment and performance of, and agrees to pay and perform as a primary obligor, all liabilities, obligations, and duties (including but not limited to, payment of (as defined in the Lease) Base Rent, Additional Rent, and any late fees that may incur) imposed upon Lessee for the lease between Lessor and Lessee dated _______________(the "Lease").

The undersigned hereby waives notice of acceptance of this guaranty and all other notices in connection herewith or in connection with the liabilities, obligations and duties guaranteed hereby, including notices of default by Lessee under the Lease, and waives diligence, presentment, and suit on the part of Lessor in the enforcement of any liability, obligation, or duty guaranteed hereby.

The undersigned further agrees that Lessor shall not be first required to enforce against Lessee or any other person any liability, obligation, or duty guaranteed hereby before seeking enforcement thereof against the undersigned. Suit may be brought and maintained against the undersigned by Lessor to enforce any liability, obligation, or duty guaranteed hereby without joinder of Lessee or any other person. The liability of the undersigned shall not be affected by any indulgence, compromise, settlement, or variation of terms which may be extended to Lessee by Lessor or agreed upon by Lessor and Lessee. Lessor and Lessee, without notice to or consent by the undersigned, may at any time or times enter into such modifications, extensions, amendments, or other covenants respecting the Lease as they may deem appropriate, and the undersigned shall not be released thereby, but shall continue to be fully liable for the payment and performance of all liabilities, obligations, and duties of Lessee under the Lease, as so modified, extended or amended.
