In the event that TENANT exercises said option, TENANT shall pay to LANDLORD a guaranteed Annual Minimum Rent (“Fixed Minimum Rent”). The amount of the Fixed Minimum Rent shall be determined as follows:

In the event TENANT does not object to same in writing within fifteen (15) days after receipt of LANDLORD’S statement, the amounts set forth shall become the Fixed Minimum Rental during the second Option Term. If the TENANT objects to the Fair Rental Value established by LANDLORD in writing within the time period set forth above, then the parties shall each appoint an appraiser, competent in the field of commercial real estate, which appraisers shall then appoint a third independent appraiser, competent in the field of commercial real estate. The three appraisers shall then together determine a Fair Rental Value of the Leased Premises for the second Option Term. In the event of a disagreement between the three, a majority decision shall be binding. The cost of such appraisers shall be split equally between both parties and the appraisers’ determination shall be final and unappealable, subject to the conditions below.
In no event shall the Fixed Minimum Rental for the second Option Term be less than Nineteen Thousand Ten ($19,010.94) Dollars and ninety-four cents per month.
After the Fair Rental Value for the Second Option Term is established, TENANT shall have ten (10) days to deliver a written objection to the Fair Rental Value as determined by the appraisers to LANDLORD. If TENANT fails to make such a written objection, the Fair Rental Value determined by the appraisers shall control. If TENANT objects to the Fair Rental Value, said objection shall operate as a notice that TENANT does not wish to exercise its option to renew the Lease for a second Option Term, notwithstanding the fact that the Lease had previously automatically renewed and this Lease shall terminate at the end of the First Option Term.

Notwithstanding anything in this Lease, or in any other writing signed by LANDLORD to the contrary, neither this Lease nor any other writing signed by LANDLORD shall be construed as evidencing, indicating, or causing an appearance that any erection, construction, alteration or repair to be done, or caused to be done, by TENANT is or was in fact for the immediate use and benefit of LANDLORD. TENANT covenants and agrees that TENANT shall have no right, authority or power to bind LANDLORD, or any interest of LANDLORD in the Premises or Shopping Center, for any claim for labor or materials or for any other charge or expense incurred

9
A. Taxes:
(1) TENANT shall pay in each Lease Year during the term of this Lease, as Additional Rent, a proportionate share of all real estate taxes, ad valorem and assessments, general and special assessments, taxes on real estate rental receipts, or any other tax, other than federal state or local income tax, imposed upon or levied against real estate or upon owners of real estate as such rather than persons generally, payable with respect to or allocable to the Shopping Center including all land and all other buildings and improvements situated thereon, together with the reasonable cost (including fees of attorneys, consultants and appraisers) or any negotiation, contest or appeal pursued by LANDLORD in an attempt to reduce any such tax, assessment or charge, the same being collectively referred to herein as “Taxes”.
(2) In addition to TENANT’S Proportionate Share of Taxes, TENANT shall pay to the appropriate agency any and all sales and excise taxes (not including, however, LANDLORD’S federal, state or local income taxes) levied, imposed or assessed by any governmental body or other taxing authority upon any rent payable hereunder.
(3) In the event that the first or last Lease Years shall consist of less than twelve (12) full calendar months, the provisions of this Section shall apply, but TENANT’S liability for TENANT’S Proportionate Share of any Taxes for such shorter Lease Year shall be subject to an equitable adjustment.
B.

10
D. Any provision of this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, at LANDLORD’S option, TENANT shall pay as additional rent, a late charge in the amount of five (5%) percent of the outstanding delinquent balance for any payment of rent or additional rent not made within ten (10) days after the due date thereof to cover the extra expense involved in handling delinquent payment.
E. TENANT’S Proportionate Share of Common Area Maintenance (Para. B) and Common Area insurance (Para. C) shall be paid by TENANT in equal monthly installments in such amounts as are estimated and billed for each Lease Year by LANDLORD beginning upon possession and at the beginning or each successive Lease Year during the term of this lease, each such installment being due on the first day of each calendar month.

The charge required hereunder shall be paid by the TENANT within fifteen (15) days after TENANT has received written notice from the LANDLORD together with a photocopy of the applicable tax xxxx. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to include as a tax which shall be the basis of TENANT’S Proportionate Share, any inheritance, estate, succession, transfer, gift, franchise, corporation, income or profit tax or capital levy that is or may be imposed upon LANDLORD.
Subject to the written approval of LANDLORD and any mortgagee of the Shopping Center, TENANT may, if it shall so desire, endeavor at any time to contest any tax or assessment against the Shopping Center to obtain a reduction in the assessed valuation upon the Shopping Center for the purpose of reducing any such tax assessment.

A. Waive all rights of subrogation against LANDLORD with respect to losses payable under such policies, and/or
18
B. Agree that such policies shall not be invalidated should the insured waive, in writing, prior to a loss, any or all right of recovery against any party for losses covered by such policies.

TENANT also agrees to notify LANDLORD prior to any change of the terms of any such policy which would affect such clauses.
23. Eminent Domain: If the Leased Premises shall be taken under the power of eminent domain, then this Lease shall terminate on the day when TENANT is required to yield possession thereof.

24. Assignment and Subletting:
A. TENANT may not assign this Lease in whole or in part, or sublet all or any part of the Leased Premises, without the prior written consent of LANDLORD. The LANDLORD shall not unreasonably withhold such consent. Consent by LANDLORD to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting made with LANDLORD’S consent, TENANT shall remain fully liable to LANDLORD under this Lease and, if required, TENANT shall provide LANDLORD with a written agreement of any approved assignee or subtenant whereby the approved assignee or subtenant undertakes liability to LANDLORD (along with TENANT) for payment and performance without any limitations as required of TENANT under this Lease.

25. Custom and Usage: LANDLORD and TENANT shall each have the right at all times to enforce the covenants and conditions of this Lease in strict accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding any conduct or custom on its part in refraining from so doing. The failure of LANDLORD or TENANT at any time or times to enforce its rights under said covenants and provisions strictly in accordance with the same shall not be construed as having created a custom in any way or manner contrary to the specific terms, provisions and covenants of this Lease or as having in any way or manner modified the same.
26. Performance of TENANT’S Covenants: If TENANT fails to perform any of the agreements and covenants expressed in this Lease as to be performed by TENANT, then LANDLORD may, at its option, enter upon the Leased Premises and perform such agreement or covenant on TENANT’S behalf, and LANDLORD shall have no liability to TENANT for any loss or damage resulting in any way from such action by LANDLORD and TENANT agrees promptly to pay upon demand as Additional Rent any expense incurred by LANDLORD in taking such action with interest thereon at The Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, if not so paid on demand.

28. LANDLORD’S Remedies:
A. LANDLORD may treat any Event of Default as a breach of this lease. LANDLORD’S failure to insist upon strict performance of any covenant, term or condition of this Lease or to exercise any rights or remedies it has reserved herein shall not be deemed a waiver or relinquishment for the future of such performance, right or remedy. In addition to any and all other rights and remedies of LANDLORD in this Lease or as provided by law or equity, LANDLORD shall have the following rights and remedies if there shall occur any Event of Default:
(1) To terminate the Lease, and without further notice, to re-enter the Leased Premises and take possession thereof and to remove all persons therefrom, and TENANT shall have no further claims or rights hereunder;
21
(2) To bring suit for the collection of Rent and for damages (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and the cost of repairing and re-letting the Leased Premises) without entering into possession of the Leased Premises or canceling this Lease. Commencement of any action by LANDLORD for rent and damages shall not be construed as an election to terminate this Lease and shall not absolve or discharge TENANT from any of its obligations or liabilities for the remainder of the Term;
(3) To retake possession of the Leased Premises from TENANT by summary proceedings or otherwise. To the extent permitted by law, TENANT waives notice of re-entry or repossession. Commencement of any action by LANDLORD for re-entry shall not be construed as an election to terminate this Lease and shall not absolve or discharge TENANT from any of its obligations or liabilities for the remainder of the Term. If, in the event of any ouster, LANDLORD re-lets the Leased Premises, TENANT shall continue to be liable for the payment of any deficiencies in Rent after such re-let. LANDLORD shall make a good faith effort to re-let the Leased Premises at market rates after ousting TENANT. In the event of any re-entry, LANDLORD shall have the right but not the obligation to remove any personal property from the Leased Premises and place the same in storage at a public warehouse at the expense and risk of the TENANT;
(4) To enter the Leased Premises and, without further demand or notice, proceed to distress and sale of the goods, chattels, and personal property there found and to levy the Rent, and TENANT shall pay all costs and officers’ commissions, including watchmen’s wages and sums chargeable to LANDLORD, and further including the five (5%) percent chargeable by the Act of Assembly as commissions to the constable or other person making the levy, and in such cases all costs, officers’ commissions and other charges shall immediately attach and become part of the claim of LANDLORD for Rent, and any tender of Rent without said costs, commissions and charges made after the issuance of a warrant of distress, shall not be sufficient to satisfy the claim of LANDLORD.
In the event of a breach or threatened breach by TENANT of any of the covenants or provisions hereof, LANDLORD shall have the right of injunction and the right to invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if re-entry, summary proceedings and other remedies were not herein provided for. Mention in this Lease of any particular remedy shall not preclude LANDLORD from any other remedies under this Lease, now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.
B. IF TENANT SHALL DEFAULT IN THE PAYMENT OF THE RENT OR ANY OTHER SUMS DUE HEREUNDER BY TENANT, OR IN THE EVENT OF A DELIBERATE EVENT OF DEFAULT AS DEFINED HEREIN, TENANT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AUTHORIZES AND EMPOWERS ANY PROTHONOTARY OR ATTORNEY OF ANY COURT OF RECORD WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, OR ELSEWHERE, TO APPEAR FOR TENANT, WITH OR WITHOUT
22

THE WARRANT OF ATTORNEY HEREIN GRANTED SHALL NOT BE EXHAUSTED BY ONE (1) OR MORE EXERCISES THEREOF, BUT SUCCESSIVE ACTIONS MAY BE COMMENCED AND SUCCESSIVE JUDGMENTS MAY BE CONFESSED OR OTHERWISE ENTERED AGAINST TENANT FROM TIME TO TIME AS OFTEN AS ANY OF THE RENT AND/OR OTHER AMOUNTS AND SUMS SHALL FALL OR BE DUE OR BE IN ARREARS, AND THIS WARRANT OF ATTORNEY MAY BE EXERCISED AFTER THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF THE TERM AND/OR DURING OR AFTER ANY EXTENTIONS OF THE TERMS OR RENEWALS OF THIS LEASE.

23
D. IN ANY ACTION FOR RENT OR OTHER SUMS, IF LANDLORD SHALL FIRST CAUSE TO BE FILED IN SUCH ACTION AN AFFIDAVIT MADE BY IT OR SOMEONE ACTING FOR IT SETTING FORTH THE FACTS NECESSARY TO AUTHORIZE THE ENTRY OF JUDGMENT, SUCH AFFIDAVIT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF SUCH FACTS; AND IF A TRUE COPY OF THIS LEASE (AND OF THE TRUTH OF THE COPY SUCH AFFIDAVIT SHALL BE SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE) BE FILED IN SUCH ACTION, IT SHALL NOT BE NECESSARY TO FILE THE ORIGINAL AS A WARRANT OF ATTORNEY, ANY RULE OF COURT, CUSTOM OR PRACTICE TO THE CONTRARY NOTWITHSTANDING. TENANT HEREBY WAIVES AND RELEASES TO LANDLORD, AND TO ANY AND ALL ATTORNEYS WHO MAY APPEAR FOR LANDLORD, ALL PROCEDURAL ERRORS IN ANY PROCEEDINGS TAKEN BY LANDLORD, WHETHER BY VIRTUE OF THE WARRANTS OF ATTORNEY CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE OR NOT, STAY OF EXECUTION AND EXTENSION OF TIME OF PAYMENT, ALL LAWS EXEMPTING REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY FROM EXECUTION AND ALL LIABILITY THEREFOR, AND NO BENEFIT OF EXEMPTION WILL BE CLAIMED UNDER AND BY VIRTUE OF ANY EXEMPTION LAW NOW IN FORCE OR WHICH MAY HEREAFTER BE PASSED.
E. TENANT expressly waives:
(1) The benefit of all laws, now or hereinafter in force, exemption of any goods in the Leased Premises on elsewhere from distraint, levy or sale in any legal proceedings taken by LANDLORD to enforce any right under this Lease.
(2) The benefit of all laws now made or which may hereafter be made regarding any limitation as to the goods upon which, or the time within which, distress is to be made after the removal of goods, and TENANT further relieves LANDLORD of the obligation of providing or identifying such goods; it being the purpose and intent of this provision that all goods of TENANT, whether upon the Leased Premises or not, shall be liable to distress for rent.
29. Accord and Satisfaction: No payment by TENANT or receipt by LANDLORD of a lesser amount than the Monthly or Additional Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated Monthly or Additional Rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Monthly or Additional Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and LANDLORD may accept such check or payment without prejudice to LANDLORD’S right to recover the balances of such Monthly or Additional Rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease.
30. Subordination of Lease: TENANT’S rights under this Lease are and shall remain subject and subordinate to the operation and effect of
(a) any lease of land only or of land and buildings in a sale-leaseback transaction involving the Premises, or
24
(b) any mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument constituting a mortgage lien upon the Premises, whether the same shall be in existence at the date hereof or created hereafter, any such lease, mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument being referred to herein as a “Mortgage” and the party or parties having the benefit of the same, whether as lessor, mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary or noteholder, being referred to herein as a “Mortgagee”. TENANT’S acknowledgment and agreement of subordination provided for in this Section is self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required; however, TENANT shall execute such further assurances thereof as shall be requested or as may be requested from time to time by LANDLORD or a Mortgagee. If a Mortgagee shall so elect by notice to TENANT or by the recording of a unilateral declaration of subordination, this Lease and TENANT’S rights hereunder shall be superior and prior in right to the Mortgage of which such Mortgagee has the benefit, with the same force and effect as if this Lease had been executed, delivered and recorded prior to the execution, delivery and recording of such Mortgage, subject, nevertheless, to such conditions as may be set forth in any such notice of declaration.
TENANT agrees to subordinate its rights under this Lease to any lease wherein LANDLORD is the lessee and to the lien of any or all mortgages or deeds of trust, regardless of whether such lease, mortgage or deeds of trust now exist or may hereinafter be created with regard to all or any part of the Shopping Center, and to any and all advances to be made thereunder, and to the interest thereon, and all modifications, consolidations, renewals, replacements and extensions thereof, termination of the Lease or foreclosure under the mortgage or deeds of trust, to recognize this Lease, if TENANT is not in default. Such subordination shall be effective without the execution of any further instrument. TENANT also agrees that any lessor, mortgagee or trustee may elect to have this Lease prior to any lease or lien of its mortgage or deed of trust, and in the event of such election and upon notification by such lessor, mortgagee or trustee to TENANT to that effect, this Lease shall be deemed prior in lien to the said lease, mortgage or deed of trust, whether this Lease is dated prior to or subsequent to the date of said lease, mortgage or deed of trust.
The LANDLORD will arrange with any current or future Mortgagee, on the Mortgagee’s standard form, a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (the “SNDA”), which shall acknowledge TENANT’s rights under the insurance and condemnation sections of this Lease and which also provides, among other items, that if by disposition, foreclosure or otherwise, such holder or any successor-in-interest shall come into possession of the Leased Premises or shall become the owner of the Leased Premises, or take over the right of the LANDLORD in the Leased Premises, such mortgage holder will not disturb the possession, use or enjoyment of the Leased Premises by the TENANT nor disaffirm this Lease or the TENANT’s rights or estate hereunder so long as all of the obligations of TENANT are fully performed in accordance with the terms of this Lease.
31. TENANT’S Attornment: TENANT shall, in the event of the sale or assignment of LANDLORD’S interest in the Leased Premises, or in the event of any proceedings brought for the foreclosure of, or in the event of the exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust covering the Leased Premises, or in the event of the termination of any lease in a sale-leaseback transaction wherein LANDLORD is the lessee, attorn to and recognize such purchaser or assignee or mortgagee as LANDLORD under this Lease.
25
TENANT agrees that, upon the request of LANDLORD, or any such lessor, mortgagee or trustee, TENANT shall execute and deliver whatever instruments may be required for such purposes and to carry out the intent of this paragraph, and in the event TENANT fails to do so within fifteen (15) days after demand in writing, TENANT does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint LANDLORD as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, in its name, place and stead to sign and deliver such instruments as if the same had been signed and delivered by TENANT.
32. Lease Subject to Financing Requirement: If any lending institution with which LANDLORD has negotiated or may negotiate construction, interim or long-term financing for the Shopping Center does not approve the financial and credit rating of TENANT for purposes of such financing, or if any such lending institution shall require a change or changes in this Lease as a condition of its approval of this Lease for such financing, and if within fifteen (15) days after notice from LANDLORD (a) TENANT fails or refuses to supply or execute assurances and/or guarantees which are stated by LANDLORD as necessary to secure the approval of TENANT’S financial and credit rating by any such lending institution; or (b) if TENANT fails or refuses to execute with LANDLORD the amendment or amendments to this Lease accomplishing the change or changes which are stated by LANDLORD to be needed in connection with approval of this Lease for purposes of such financing, LANDLORD shall have the right to cancel this Lease at any time prior to the commencement of TENANT’S Work as defined herein in Exhibit “B”. In the event of cancellation by LANDLORD hereunder, this Lease shall be and become null and void with no further liability or obligation on the part of either party hereto.
33. Entire Agreement: This Lease, including the Exhibits hereto and any addenda hereto, sets forth all of the covenants, promises, agreements, conditions and understandings between LANDLORD and TENANT concerning the Leased Premises and the Shopping Center. No alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Lease shall be binding upon LANDLORD or TENANT unless reduced to writing, signed by them and mutually delivered between them.
34. TENANT Will Quit: TENANT agrees to quit and remove from the Leased Premises at the end of the term or sooner termination of this Lease, without notice and that TENANT will thereupon without delay deliver to LANDLORD all keys TENANT may have for the Leased Premises.
35. Bankruptcy and Insolvency:
A. In the event TENANT shall become a debtor under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code as it may be amended or to any other successor statute thereto, and the Trustee or Tenant shall elect to assume this Lease for the purpose of assigning the same or otherwise, such election and assignment may only be made if all of the terms and conditions of hereof are satisfied. If such Trustee shall fail to elect or assume this Lease within sixty (60) days after the filing of the Petition, this Lease shall be deemed to have been reflected. LANDLORD shall be
26
thereupon immediately entitled to possession of the demised premises without further obligation to TENANT or Trustee, and this Lease shall be canceled, but LANDLORD’S right to be compensated for damages in such liquidation proceedings shall survive.
B. In the event a Petition for reorganization or adjustment of debts is filed concerning Tenant under Chapters 11 or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code, or a proceeding is filed under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and is transferred to Chapters 11 or 13, the Trustee or Tenant, as Debtor-In-Possession, must elect to assume this Lease within seventy-five (75) days from the date of the filing of the Petition under Chapters 11 or 13, or the Trustee or Debtor-In- Possession shall be deemed to have rejected this Lease. No election by the Trustee or Debtor-In-Possession to assume this Lease, whether under Chapters 7, 11 or 13, shall be effective unless each of the following conditions, which LANDLORD and TENANT acknowledge are commercially reasonable in the context of a bankruptcy proceeding of TENANT, have been satisfied, and LANDLORD has so acknowledged in writing:
(1) The Trustee or the Debtor-In-Possession has cured, or has provided LANDLORD adequate assurance (as defined below) that:
(i) Within ten (10) days from the date of such assumption the Trustee will cure all monetary defaults under this Lease; and
(ii) Within thirty (30) days from the date of such assumption the Trustee will cure all non-monetary defaults under this Lease.
(2) The Trustee or the Debtor-In-Possession has compensated, or has provided to LANDLORD adequate assurance (as defined below) that within ten (10) days from the date of assumption LANDLORD will be compensated for any pecuniary loss incurred by LANDLORD arising from the default of TENANT, the trustee, or the Debtor-In- Possession as recited in LANDLORD’S written statement of pecuniary loss sent to the Trustee or Debtor-In-Possession.
(3) The Trustee or the Debtor-In-Possession has provided LANDLORD with adequate assurance of the future performance of each of TENANT’S, Trustee’s or Debtor-In- Possession’s obligations under this lease; provided, however, that:
(i) The Trustee or Debtor-In-Possession shall also deposit with LANDLORD, as security for the timely payment of rent, an amount equal to three (3) months rent (as adjusted pursuant to Section 35.B(3)(iii)below) and other monetary charges accruing under this Lease; and
(ii) If not otherwise required by the terms of the Lease, the Trustee or Debtor-In- Possession shall also pay in advance on the date minimum rent is payable 1/12th of TENANT’S annual obligations under this Lease for maintenance, common area charges, real estate taxes, merchants’ association dues, insurance and similar charges.
27
(iii) From and after the date of the assumption of this Lease, the Trustee or Debtor- In-Possession shall pay as minimum rent an amount equal to the minimum rental otherwise payable hereunder, which amount shall be payable in advance in equal monthly installments on the date minimum rent is payable.
(iv) The obligations imposed upon the Trustee or Debtor-In-Possession shall continue with respect to Tenant or any assignee of the Lease after the completion of bankruptcy proceedings.
(4) The assumption of this Lease will not:
(i) Breach any provision in any other lease, mortgage, financing agreement or other agreement by which LANDLORD is bound relating to the Shopping Center; or
(ii) Disrupt, in LANDLORD’S reasonable judgment, the tenant mix of the Shopping Center or any other attempt by LANDLORD to provide a specific variety of retail stores in the Shopping Center which, in LANDLORD’S judgment, would be most beneficial to all of the tenants of the Shopping Center and would enhance the image, reputation and profitability of the Shopping Center.
C. For purposes of this Section, LANDLORD and TENANT acknowledge that in the context of a bankruptcy proceeding of TENANT, at a minimum “adequate assurance” shall mean:
(1) The Trustee or Debtor-In-Possession has and will continue to have sufficient unencumbered assets after the payment of all secured obligations and administrative expenses to assure LANDLORD that the Trustee or Debtor-In-Possession will have sufficient funds to fulfill the obligations of TENANT under this Lease, and to keep the demised premises stocked with merchandise and properly staffed with sufficient employees to conduct a fully operational, actively promoted business on the demised premises; and
(2) The Bankruptcy Court shall have entered an Order segregating sufficient cash payable to LANDLORD and/or the Trustee or Debtor-In-Possession shall have granted a valid and perfected first lien and security interest and/or mortgage in property of TENANT, Trustee or Debtor-In-Possession, acceptable as to value and kind to LANDLORD, to secure to LANDLORD with obligation of the Trustee or Debtor-In-Possession to cure the monetary and/or non-monetary defaults under this Lease within the time periods set forth above.
(3) In the event that this Lease is assumed by a Trustee appointed for TENANT or by TENANT as Debtor-In-Possession under the provisions of Section (2) hereof and thereafter TENANT is liquidated or files a subsequent Petition for reorganization or adjustment of debts under Chapters 11 or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code, then, and in either of such events, LANDLORD may, at its option, terminate this Lease and all rights of TENANT hereunder, by giving TENANT written notice of its election to so terminate, by no later than thirty (30) days after the occurrence of either of such events.
28
(4) If the Trustee or Debtor-In-Possession has assumed the Lease pursuant to the terms and provisions of Sections (1) or (2) herein, for the purposes of assigning (or elects to assign) TENANT’S interest under this Lease or the estate created thereby, to any other person, such interest or estate may be so assigned only if LANDLORD shall acknowledge in writing that the intended assignee has provided adequate assurance as defined in this Section (4) of future performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by TENANT.
For purposes of this Section (4), LANDLORD and TENANT acknowledge that, in the context of a Bankruptcy proceeding of TENANT, at a minimum “adequate assurance of future performance” shall mean that each of the following conditions have been satisfied, and LANDLORD has so acknowledged in writing:
(i) The assignee has submitted a current financial statement audited by a certified public accountant which shows a net worth and working capital in amounts determined to be sufficient by LANDLORD to assure the future performance by such assignee of TENANT’S obligations under this Lease;
(ii) The assignee, if requested by LANDLORD, shall have obtained guarantees in form and substance satisfactory to LANDLORD from one (1) or more persons who satisfy LANDLORD’S standards of creditworthiness;
(iii) The assignee has submitted in writing evidence, satisfactory to LANDLORD, of substantial retailing experience in shopping centers of comparable size to the Shopping Center and in the sale of merchandise and services permitted under this Lease; and
(iv) LANDLORD has obtained all consents or waivers from any third party required under any lease, mortgage, financing arrangement or other agreement by which LANDLORD is bound to permit LANDLORD to consent to such assignment.
(5) When, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, the Trustee or Debtor-In-Possession shall be obligated to pay reasonable use and occupancy charges for the use of the demised premises or any portion thereof, such charges shall not be less than the minimum rent as defined in this Lease and other monetary obligations of TENANT for the payment of maintenance, common area charges, real estate taxes, merchants association dues, insurance and similar charges.
(6) Neither TENANT’S interest in the Lease, nor any lesser interest of TENANT herein, nor any estate of TENANT hereby created, shall pass to any trustee, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or any other person or entity, or otherwise by operation of law under the laws of any state having jurisdiction of the person or property of TENANT (hereinafter referred to as the “state law”) unless LANDLORD shall consent to such transfer in writing. No acceptance by LANDLORD of rent or any other payments from any such trustee,
29
receiver, assignee, person or other entity shall be deemed to have waived, nor shall it waive the need to obtain LANDLORD’S consent of LANDLORD’S right to terminate this Lease for any transfer of TENANT’S interest under this Lease without such consent.
(7) In the event the estate of TENANT created hereby shall be taken in execution or by other process of law, or if TENANT or any guarantor of TENANT’S obligations hereunder (hereinafter referred to as the “Guarantor”) shall be adjudicated insolvent pursuant to the provisions of any present or future insolvency law under state law, or if any proceedings are filed by or against the guarantor under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar provisions of any future federal bankruptcy law, or if a Receiver or Trustee of the property of TENANT or guarantor shall be appointed under state law by reason of TENANT’S or guarantor’s insolvency or if any assignment shall be made of TENANT’S or the law; then and in such event LANDLORD may, at its option, terminate this Lease and all rights of TENANT hereunder by giving TENANT written notice of the election to so terminate within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such event.
36. Mechanic Liens:
A. TENANT will not permit to be created or to remain undischarged any lien, encumbrance or charge (arising out of any work done or materials or supplies furnished by any contractor, subcontractor, mechanic, laborer or materialman or any mortgage, conditional sale, security agreement or chattel mortgage, or otherwise by or for TENANT) which might be or become a lien or encumbrance or charge upon the Shopping Center or any portion thereof or the income therefrom. TENANT will not suffer any other matter or thing whereby the estate, rights and interests of LANDLORD in the Shopping Center or any portion thereof might be impaired. If any lien or notice of lien on account of any alleged debt of TENANT or any notice of contract by a party engaged by TENANT or TENANT’S contractor to work on the Premises shall be filed against the Shopping Center or any portion thereof, TENANT shall within ten (10) days after demand from LANDLORD, cause the same to be discharged of record by payment, deposit, bond, order of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise. If TENANT shall fail to cause such lien or notice of lien to be discharged within the period aforesaid, then, in addition to any other right or remedy it may have, LANDLORD may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge such lien by deposit or by bonding proceedings, and in any such event LANDLORD shall be entitled, if LANDLORD so elects, to compel the prosecution of an action for the foreclosure of such lien by the interest, costs and allowances. Any amount so paid by LANDLORD and all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by LANDLORD and all costs therewith, shall constitute Additional Rent payable by TENANT under this Lease and shall be paid by TENANT to LANDLORD on demand. Nothing herein contained shall obligate TENANT to pay or discharge any lien created by LANDLORD.
B. TENANT shall pay promptly all persons furnishing labor or materials with respect to any work performed by TENANT or TENANT’S contractor in the Premises. No work which LANDLORD permits TENANT to do shall be deemed to be for the immediate use and benefit of LANDLORD so that no mechanic’s or other lien shall be allowed against the estate of LANDLORD by reason of any consent given by LANDLORD to TENANT to improve the Premises.
30
C. Prior to commencement of any work or the delivery of any material in the Premises by any contractor, subcontractor or materialman (herein collectively called “Contractor”), TENANT shall deliver to LANDLORD a recordable waiver of lien affidavit (herein called “Contractor’s Waiver of Lien”) from TENANT’S General Contractor in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “E”. Contractor’s Waiver of Lien provides, among other things, that the Contractor waives any and all lien rights that it may have against LANDLORD’S interest in the Shopping Center or any portion thereof.
37. Miscellaneous:
A. Holding Over: Any holding over by TENANT after the expiration of the term hereof, with consent of LANDLORD, shall be construed to be a tenant from month to month only, at the rents and on the other terms and conditions herein provided to the extent applicable.
B. Waiver of Jury Trial: Both LANDLORD and TENANT agree hereby to waive and do hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceedings or counter-claim brought by either or the parties hereto under or in connection with this Lease.

D. Quiet Enjoyment: Upon payment by TENANT of the rents and other sums herein reserved and provided to be paid by TENANT and upon the observance and performance by TENANT of all of the covenants, agreements, terms and conditions of this Lease on TENANT’S part to be observed and performed, TENANT shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Lease Premises for the term hereby demised without hindrance or interruption by LANDLORD or by any persons lawfully claiming or holding by, through or under LANDLORD, subject nevertheless, to the terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease.
38. Recording: LANDLORD and TENANT agree that TENANT may, at its sole cost and expense, prepare and record an appropriate Memorandum of this Lease.
39. Notice of LANDLORD Default: No default on the part of LANDLORD hereunder shall be deemed to have occurred until LANDLORD shall have been given thirty (30) days written notice by TENANT.
40. Succession: Subject to the limitations against assignment and subleasing hereinbefore set out, all rights and liabilities herein given to, or imposed upon, the respective parties hereto shall extend to and bind the several and respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the said parties; and if there shall be more than one tenant, they shall all be bound jointly and severally by the terms, covenants and agreements herein and the word “Tenant” shall be deemed and taken to mean each and every person or party mentioned as a
31
tenant herein; and if there shall be more than one tenant any notice required or permitted by the terms of this Lease may be given by or to any one thereof, and shall have the same force and effect as if given by or to all thereof.
41. Limited Liability: Neither LANDLORD nor any partner of LANDLORD shall be under any personal liability with respect to any of the provisions of this Lease, and if LANDLORD is in breach or default under this Lease, TENANT shall look solely to the equity of LANDLORD in the Leased Premises and the Shopping Center for the satisfaction of TENANT’S remedies. LANDLORD’S liabilities under the terms, covenants, conditions, warranties and obligations of this Lease shall in no event exceed the loss of LANDLORD’S equity interest in the Center.
42. Brokers: TENANT represents and warrants to LANDLORD that TENANT has had no dealings, negotiations or consultations with respect to the Leased Premises or this transaction with any broker or other intermediary other than Equity Properties, Inc. and that no other broker or intermediary called the Leased Premises to TENANT’S attention for lease or to any part in any dealings, negotiations or consultations with respect to the Leased Premises or this Lease. TENANT shall indemnify and hold LANDLORD harmless for any damage or liability of LANDLORD caused by any breach of this representation and warranty.
43. Notices:
A. Any notice by TENANT to LANDLORD must be served by certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to LANDLORD at LANDLORD’S original address, or at such other address as LANDLORD shall designate to TENANT by written notice, which change of address by LANDLORD shall not be effective unless received by TENANT.
B. Any notice by LANDLORD to TENANT must be served by certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to TENANT at the Leased Premises.

46. Execution of Lease: The submission of this Lease for examination does not constitute a reservation of or option for the Leased Premises or any other space within the Shopping Center and shall vest no right in either party. This Lease shall become effective as a
32
Lease only upon execution and legal delivery thereof by the parties hereto. This Lease may be executed in more than one counterpart, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original document.
47. Guarantees: Deliberately Omitted.
