Landlord hereby grants Tenant the right to enter upon the Premises and to
have access through the Center for the purpose of completing the Tenant's
Plans, conducting review and analysis of Tenant's build-out and fixturing
requirements, and completion of the Tenant's Work.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, the Required

default or breach of Landlord that causes a delay in completion of the Tenant's
Work; or (e) the occurrence of any event described in Section 24.5 of this Lease
or other event not within the reasonable control of Tenant or its contractor or
subcontractors. To the extent an Unavoidable Delay occurs and is continuing,
Tenant's obligation to complete the Tenant's Work and the Required Completion
Date shall be extended by a like number of days.
Section 3.3. Failure of Tenant to Perform.
Because of the difficulty or impossibility of determining Landlord's damages
resulting from Tenant's failure to open for business fully fixtured, stocked and
staffed on the Commencement Date, including, but not limited to, damages from
loss of Percentage Rent (hereinafter defined) from Tenant and other tenants,
diminished saleability, leasability, mortgageability or economic value of the
Center, if Tenant fails to diligently complete Tenant's Work, or to open for
business fully fixtured, stocked and staffed on or before the Commencement Date
Landlord may, if such failure is not cured within twenty (20) days after notice
to Tenant, collect rent from the Commencement Date in an amount equal to the
Minimum Annual Rent (hereinafter defined) and other additional rent and other
amounts payable by Tenant hereunder, and, in addition thereto, an amount equal
to [***] of 1/365ths of the Minimum Annual Rent for each day that Tenant has
failed to open for business on and after the Commencement Date, which later
amount shall be in lieu of Percentage Rent that might have earned had Tenant
opened in timely fashion. In addition, Landlord may, upon ninety (90) days prior
written notice to Tenant and Tenant's subsequent failure to open for business in
the Premises within such ninety (90) day period, terminate this Lease. All
remedies in this Lease or at law provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive

this Lease.

Tenant's acceptance thereof in good order and satisfactory condition. Tenant
agrees that no representations respecting the condition of the Premises or the

respect to workmanship or any defects in material, and no promise to decorate,
alter, repair or improve the Premises either before or after the execution

Section 4.1. Minimum and Percentage Rent.
Tenant covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord, without notice or demand,
at Landlord's address for notice (Landlord's and Tenant's notice addresses
being the addresses specified in Section 24.7 hereof), as rent for the Premises:
(i) A "Minimum Annual Rent" of [***] per square foot of Store Floor Area,
or [***] per annum (based upon the approximated Store Floor Area set
forth in Section 2.1 hereof), payable in equal monthly installments,
in advance upon the first day of each and every month of the Lease
Term commencing upon the Commencement Date (such monthly installment
being hereinafter called "Minimum Monthly Rent"); and
*** Confidential treatment requested.

(ii) [***] of Gross Sales (hereinafter defined) during each Lease Year or
Partial Lease Year to the extent such Gross Sales exceed $[***] (the
"Simulator Breakpoint") (pro rated accordingly for a Partial Lease
Year) for such period for all Gross Sales generated by Tenant's
Simulators and [***] of Gross Sales during each Lease Year or Partial
Lease Year to the extent such Gross Sales exceed [***] (the
"Merchandise Breakpoint") (pro rated accordingly for a Partial Lease
Year) for such period for all Gross Sales generated by the sale of
merchandise (hereinafter called "Percentage Rent").
When Store Floor Area is determined in accordance with Section 2.1, the
Minimum Annual Rent and Minimum Monthly Rent shall be deemed automatically
increased or decreased based upon the Store Floor Area as thus determined, and
any overpayments or underpayments of Minimum Monthly Rent to Landlord shall be
adjusted accordingly.
Section 4.2. Miscellaneous Rent Provisions.
Any rent or other amounts to be paid by Tenant which are not paid when due
and which remain unpaid for seven (7) days after Tenant's receipt of written
notice specifying such failure shall bear interest as of the first day of the
month on which any sum is due and owing at a rate equal to [***]
over the prime rate announced by Citibank, N.A. If the Commencement Date is
other than the first day of a month, Tenant shall pay on the Commencement Date
a prorated partial Minimum Monthly Rent for the period prior to the first day
of the next calendar month, and thereafter Minimum Monthly Rent payments shall
be made not later than the first day of each calendar month. For the purposes
of this Lease, a "Major Tenant" is herein defined as a single tenant occupying
at least 40,000 contiguous square feet of floor area.
Section 4.3. Percentage Rent.
Tenant shall (i) not later than the twenty-first (21st) day after the
close of each calendar month, deliver to Landlord a written statement certified
by an officer of Tenant to the best knowledge of such officer, showing Gross
Sales made in such calendar month; and (ii) not later than 30 days after the
end of each Lease Year or Partial Lease Year, deliver to Landlord a statement
of Gross Sales for such Lease Year or Partial Lease Year the correctness of
which is certified to by an independent certified public accountant. If Tenant
fails to prepare and deliver any statement of Gross Sales required hereunder,
within the time or times specified above, then Landlord shall have the right,
in addition to the other rights and remedies set forth in this Lease, (a) to
collect from Tenant a sum which shall be [***] per calendar day for each day
that Gross Sales reports are not so submitted, and (b) to estimate Tenant's
Gross Sales for any non-reported period (which estimate shall be based upon
prior Lease Years' Gross Sales, if available, and reasonable extrapolations
which may be derived therefrom) and xxxx Tenant's Percentage Rent accordingly.
Landlord reserves the right, at Landlord's option, to adjust Percentage Rent
xxxxxxxx when actual Gross Sales reports are received.
On or before the twenty-first (21st) day of each May, August, November and
February, Tenant shall pay Landlord [***] of Gross Sales of Tenant generated by
Tenant's Simulators during the three (3) months (or less in a Partial Lease
Year) ending on the last day of the month preceding such payment date to the
extent such Gross Sales exceed [***] (pro rated accordingly for a period of less
than three [3] months) for such period and [***] of Gross Sales of Tenant
generated by the sale of merchandise during the three (3) months (or less in a
Partial Lease Year) ending on the last day of the month preceding such payment
date to the extent such Gross Sales exceed [***] (pro rated accordingly for a
period of less than three [3] months) for such period. Within thirty (30) days
after the later of (i) the due date for Tenant's annual report of Gross Sales,
or (ii) the date of Landlord's receipt of such annual report, if Tenant has paid
Landlord for such Lease Year or Partial Lease Year Percentage Rent greater than
Tenant is obligated to pay for such period, Landlord shall refund such excess,
and if Tenant has paid less than the Percentage Rent required to be paid for
such period, Tenant shall pay Landlord such difference.
The parties acknowledge that Gross Sales may fluctuate substantially
during different months of any annual period, and the parties agree that
Percentage Rent payable for a Partial Lease Year shall be determined in a
manner that approximates the monthly Percentage Rent that would be payable if
the Percentage Rent were determined on an annual basis. Accordingly, for
purposes of prorating Percentage Rent for a Partial Lease Year pursuant to
Section 4.1 and this Section 4.3, the Percentage Rent shall be determined as
follows:
The Simulator Breakpoint and the Merchandise Breakpoint, as the case may
be shall be prorated by multiplying such breakpoints by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days in the Partial Lease Year and the
denominator of which is 365 days (such fraction herein called the "Partial
Lease Year Fraction"). As initially determined, the Percentage Rent shall be
[***] of Gross Sales during the Partial Lease Year to the extent
Gross Sales exceed the Simulator Breakpoint and shall be [***] of
Gross Sales during the Partial Lease Year to the extent Gross Sales exceed the
Merchandise Breakpoint, respectively, calculated in accordance with the
immediately preceding sentence. The Percentage Rent as determined in accordance
with this paragraph is referred to as the "Estimated Partial Lease Year
Percentage Rent" and shall be payable as provided in Section 4.3 of this Lease,
subject to adjustment as provided in the immediately following paragraph.
The Percentage Rent for a Partial Lease Year thereafter shall be adjusted
based on the actual Gross Sales for the annual period starting on the
Commencement Date and ending on the 365th day after the Commencement Date. The
Percentage Rent attributable to Gross Sales during such annual period shall be
computed based on the Simulator Breakpoint and Merchandise Breakpoint (each
computed without proration) in accordance with Section 4.1 (ii) above. The
Percentage Rent for the Partial Lease Year then shall be recalculated by
multiplying the Percentage Rent (as determined in accordance with the
immediately preceding sentence) by the Partial Lease Year Fraction. Any
underpayments of Percentage Rent by Tenant promptly shall be paid by Tenant and
overpayments of Percentage Rent shall be credited to the
*** Confidential treatment requested.

next installment or installments of Percentage Rent then coming due. The
foregoing shall not affect the provisions of this Lease relating to the
computation of Percentage Rent for the first or any subsequent full Lease Year.
Tenant will preserve for at least three (3) years at Tenant's notice
address (or at the Premises, at Tenant's discretion) all original books and
records disclosing information pertaining to Gross Sales, including, but not
limited to, cash register tapes, sales slips, sales checks, gross income and
sales tax returns, bank deposit records, sales journals and other supporting
data. Landlord and its agents shall have the right during business hours,
following not less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice, to examine and
audit such books and records preserved by Tenant, Tenant reserving the right to
be present during any such examination or audit. If such examination or audit
discloses a liability for Percentage Rent [***] or more in excess of the
Percentage Rent paid by Tenant for any period or if Tenant's Gross Sales cannot
be verified due to the insufficiency or inadequacy of Tenant's records, Tenant
shall promptly reimburse Landlord for Landlord's actual out-of pocket costs (not
to exceed customary and reasonable amounts) for said audit. Tenant shall, in any
event, pay to Landlord the amount of any deficiency in rents which is disclosed
by such audit. Landlord shall not disclose any information relating to any
examination performed by or for Landlord to other parties, except to Landlord's
lenders, accountants, attorneys and other employees (who shall be allowed access
to such information on a "need to know basis" and who in any event likewise
shall be obligated not to disclose such information to other parties) or to any
governmental agency or in accordance with any legal proceeding pursuant to a
duly issued subpoena.
Section 4.4. Gross Sales Defined.
As used herein, Gross Sales means the sale prices of all goods, wares
and merchandise sold and the charges for all services performed by Tenant or any
other person or entity in, at, or from the Premises for cash, credit or
otherwise, without reserve or deduction for uncollected amounts except as
hereinafter specifically provided, including but not limited to sales and
services (i) where the orders originate in, at or from the Premises, regardless
from whence delivery or performance is made, (ii) pursuant to mail, telephone,
telegraph or otherwise received or filled at the Premises, (iii) resulting form
transactions originating in, at or from the Premises, and deposits not refunded
to customers. Excluded from Gross Sales shall be: (i) exchanges of merchandise
between Tenant's stores made only for the convenient operation of Tenant's
business and not to consummate a sale made in, at or from the Premises, (ii)
returns to manufacturers, (iii) refunds to customers (but only to the extent
included in Gross Sales), (iv) sales of fixtures, machinery and equipment after
use in Tenant's business in the Premises, (v) sales of merchandise or services
at a discount to Tenant's employees, not to exceed [***] of annual Gross Sales,
(vi) amounts that are determined by Tenant to be uncollectible from customers,
including checks returned for lack of sufficient funds and credit card
chargebacks, not to exceed [***] of annual Gross Sales, provided such amounts
were originally included in Gross Sales when made and provided, further, any
subsequent collection or recover thereof shall be included in Gross Sales in the
Lease Year of collection or recovery, (vii) discounts given for promotional
coupons that are redeemed from time to time, not to exceed [***] of annual Gross
Sales, (viii) gift certificates until such time as the gift certificates are
redeemed, (ix) fees charged by credit card companies for transactions
originating in, at or from the Premises not to exceed [***] of annual Gross
Sales, and (x) sales, excise or similar tax imposed by governmental authority
and collected from customers and paid out by Tenant. No other taxes shall be
deducted from Gross Sales.
Section 4.5 Real Estate Taxes.
A. Definition. Landlord shall pay or cause to be paid all Real Estate Taxes
(as hereinafter defined) assessed or imposed upon the Center and the Total Tract
which become due or payable during the Lease Term. As used in this Section 4.5
the term Real Estate Taxes shall mean and include all real estate taxes, public
and governmental charges and assessments, including all extraordinary or special
assessments applicable to the Center, or assessments against any of Landlord's
personal property now or hereafter located in the Center, all reasonable costs,
expenses and attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in contesting or negotiating
with public authorities (Landlord having the sole authority to conduct such a
contest or enter into such negotiations) as to any of the same and all sewer and
other taxes and charges, but shall not include taxes on Tenant's business in the
Premises, machinery, equipment, inventory or other personal property or assets
of Tenant, Tenant agreeing to pay, before delinquency, all taxes upon or
attributable to such excluded items without apportionment. With respect to any
special assessments made by governmental authorities for street improvement,
traffic mitigation or similar physical improvements, Landlord may, at its
option, pay any such special assessments in one lump sum when due or, if
permitted by law, Landlord may elect to pay such special assessments in
installments. In the event Landlord shall pay any special assessment in full
when due, Tenant shall nevertheless reimburse Landlord for its share thereof
based upon the installment payments including principal and interest which
Landlord would have been obligated to pay had Landlord elected to pay the
special installment in the maximum number of installments permitted. Tenant's
installment payments for such special assessment shall be due and payable on the
same dates that they would have been payable to the taxing authority had
Landlord elected to pay the special assessment in installments.
B. Tenant's Share. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, its
proportionate share of all Real Estate Taxes upon the Center and the Total Tract
which become due or payable during the Lease Term, such proportionate share to
be prorated for periods at the beginning and end of the Lease Term which do not
constitute full calendar months or years. Landlord shall endeavor to have the
Retail Space and Hotel Space separately assessed. If this cannot be accomplished
then Landlord, in its sole discretion, shall allocate Real Estate Taxes among
the Retail Space and Hotel Space based on its determination of the assessed
value of each such Space. This determination shall control except in case of
manifest error. Real Estate Taxes allocated by Landlord to the Retail Space are
referred to herein as "Retail Space Real Estate Taxes". Tenant's proportionate
share of any such Retail Space Real Estate Taxes shall be that portion of such
Retail Space Real Estate Taxes
*** Confidential treatment requested.

which bears the same ratio to the total Retail Space Real Estate Taxes as the
Store Floor Area bears to the Rentable Floor Area rented or occupied in the
Retail Space (hereinafter called "Retail Rentable Floor Area") as of the
Commencement Date or the first day of the calendar year in which such taxes are
due or payable. The floor area of (i) a Major Tenant, (ii) any tenant in a free
standing Premises who is obligated to pay real estate taxes specifically upon
specific improvements or specific parcel of land, and (iii) Common Areas, as
hereinafter defined, shall not be included in the Retail Rentable Floor Area,
and any contributions to Real Estate Taxes received by Landlord from such
tenants shall be deducted from Retail Space Real Estate Taxes prior to the
calculation of Tenant's proportionate share.
C. Payment by Tenant. Tenant's proportionate share of Retail Space
Real Estate Taxes shall be paid in monthly installments commencing with the
Commencement Date, in amounts initially estimated by Landlord, one (1) such
installment being due on the first day of each full or partial month of each
full or partial calendar year during the Lease Term. Such monthly installments
shall increase or decrease upon notice from Landlord given after the actual or
anticipated amounts of Real Estate Taxes due or payable in a particular calendar
year are determined PROVIDED SUCH ADJUSTMENTS SHALL BE MADE NOT MORE THAN ONCE
ANNUALLY. Following the close of each full or partial calendar year during the
Lease Term, the actual amount of Retail Space Real Estate Taxes due or payable
shall be computed by Landlord and any excess paid by Tenant during such calendar
year over the actual amount Tenant is obligated to pay hereunder shall be
credited to Tenant, and within thirty (30) days after written notice from
Landlord any deficiency owed shall be paid in full by Tenant. Tenant
acknowledges and stipulates that Landlord has made no agreement of any kind as
to the total dollar amount of such real estate taxes or Tenant's dollar share
thereof. LANDLORD DOES, HOWEVER, REPRESENT THAT IT IS CURRENTLY ESCROWING REAL
ESTATE TAXES FOR CALENDAR YEAR 1997 AT A RATE OF $17.75 PER SQUARE FOOT OF STORE
FLOOR AREA. THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT BE DEEMED, CONSTRUED OR INTERPRETED AS AN
AGREEMENT OF ANY KIND THAT TENANT'S ACTUAL SHARE OF REAL ESTATE TAXES FOR
CALENDAR YEAR 1997 WILL BE $17.75 PER SQUARE FOOT OF STORE FLOOR AREA.
D. Other Taxes. Tenant's proportionate share of any governmental
tax or charge (other than income tax) levied, assessed, or imposed on account
of the payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord, or based in whole or in part
upon, the rents in this Lease reserved or upon the Center or the value thereof
shall be paid by Tenant.
E. Larger parcel. If the land under the Center is a part of a
larger parcel of land for assessment purposes (the "Larger Parcel"), the taxes
and assessments allocable to the land in the Center for the purpose of
determining Real Estate Taxes under this Section shall be deemed a fractional
portion of the taxes and assessments levied against the Larger Parcel, the
numerator of which is the acreage in the Center and the denominator of which is
the acreage in the Larger Parcel.
Section 4.6. SPRINKLER SYSTEM.
Landlord has installed and will maintain a sprinkler system in the
Premises and Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent twenty-five
cents (25c) per square foot of Store Floor Area per Lease Year, prorated for
Partial Lease Years, in equal monthly installments in advance on the first day
of each full calendar month during the Lease Term.
Section 4.7. ADDITIONAL RENT.
All amounts required or provided to be paid by Tenant under this Lease
other than Minimum Annual Rent and Percentage Rent shall be deemed additional
rent and Minimum Annual Rent, Percentage Rent and additional rent shall in all
events be deemed rent.
Section 4.8. LANDLORD'S EXPENSES.
TO THE EXTENT THAT LANDLORD HAS THE RIGHT UNDER THIS LEASE AND TO THE
EXTENT THAT Landlord pays any monies or incurs any expense to correct a
breach of this Lease by Tenant or to do anything in this Lease required to be
done by Tenant, or incurs any expense (including, but not limited to, attorneys'
fees and court costs), as a result of Tenant's failure to perform any of
Tenant's obligations under this Lease, all REASONABLE amounts so paid or
incurred shall, on notice to Tenant, be considered additional rent payable in
full by Tenant with the first Minimum Monthly Rent installment thereafter
becoming due and payable, and may be collected as by law provided in the case
of rent. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO AUTHORIZE LANDLORD TO TAKE ANY SUCH
ACTIONS EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED HEREIN.

Tenant will pay Landlord, in addition to all other amounts in this Lease
provided, such portion of Landlord's Common Area Costs for each calendar year
during the Lease Term which bears the same ratio to the total of Landlord's
Common Area Costs as the Store Floor Area at the Commencement of such calendar
year bears to all Rentable Floor Area rented or occupied by tenants in the
Retail Space. The floor area of (i) a Major Tenant, (ii) any tenant in a
freestanding Premises who is obligated to maintain specific areas or a specific
parcel of land, and (iii) Common Areas shall not be included in Rentable Floor
Area, and subject to Section 6.1 above any contributions to Landlord's Common
Area Costs received by Landlord from such tenants shall be deducted from
Landlord's Common Area Costs received by Landlord from such tenants shall be
deducted from Landlord's Common Area Costs prior to the calculation of Tenant's
proportionate share.
Tenant's share of Landlord's Common Area Costs shall be paid in monthly
installments in amounts estimated from time to time by Landlord (provided any
such adjustment shall not be made more than once annually), one (1) such
installment being due on the first day of each month of each calendar year.
After the end of each calendar year the total Landlord's Common Area Costs for
such year (and at the end of the Lease Term, the total Landlord's Common
Area Costs for the period since the end of the immediately next preceding
calendar year) shall be determined by Landlord and Tenant's share paid for such
period shall immediately, upon such determination, be adjusted by credit of any
excess or payment of any deficiency.
Tenant may audit Landlord's Common Area Costs for such year in order to
verify the accuracy thereof, provided that: (a) Tenant specifically designates
the year Tenant intends to audit, which shall be a year during t he Lease Term
that is also within three (3) years of the date of the audit; (b) such audit is
conducted only during regular business hours at the office where Landlord
maintains expense records of Landlord's Common Area Costs; (c) Tenant gives
Landlord fifteen (15) days prior written notice of Tenant's request to audit
and Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of the results of such audit within
ten (10) days of its receipt by Tenant; (d) such audit must be conducted by
Tenant's employees or an independent nationally recognized accounting firm that
is not being compensated on a contingency fee basis; (e) no audit shall be
conducted if Tenant has previously conducted an audit for the same time period;
(f) such audit shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense; and (g) any

agreements between Landlord, Tenant and Tenant's agents and employees to whom
disclosure is made. Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord considers its
financial and other operating information to be confidential and will not
disclose such information to any third party without Landlord's prior written
consent except to prospective buyers or lenders, Tenant's accountants and
attorneys, or in the case of compliance with a subpoena or other legal process
provided Tenant gives Landlord at least ten (10) days prior written notice of
Tenant's receipt of such subpoena or legal process and Tenant's intent to
disclose pursuant thereto. If the audit discloses that Tenant
8
9
has underpaid, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord any amount owed. If the
audit accurately discloses that Tenant has overpaid, Landlord shall promptly
refund such excess.
ARTICLE VII
UTILITIES AND SERVICES
Section 7.1. Utilities
Tenant shall not install any equipment which can exceed the capacity of
any utility facilities serving the Center and if any equipment installed by
Tenant requires additional utility facilities, the same shall be installed at
Tenant's expense in compliance with all code requirements and plans and
specifications which must be approved in writing by Landlord (such approval not
to be unreasonably withheld). Tenant shall be solely responsible for and
promptly pay all charges for use or consumption of sewer, gas, electricity,
water and all other utility services delivered to the Premises. Landlord may
make electrical service available to the Premises as provided in Exhibit "C,"
and so long as Landlord continues to provide such electrical service Tenant
agrees to purchase the same from Landlord and pay Landlord for the electrical
service (based upon Landlord's determination from time to time of Tenant's
consumption of electricity), as additional rent, on the first day of each month
in advance (and prorated for partial months), commencing on the Commencement
Date at the same cost as would be charged to Tenant from time to time by the
utility company which otherwise would furnish such services to the Premises if
it provided such services and metered the same directly to the Premises, but in
no event at a cost which is less than the cost Landlord must pay in providing
such electrical service. Landlord may supply water and other utilities to the
Premises, and so long as Landlord continues to provide water or such other
utilities Tenant shall pay Landlord for same at the same cost as would be
charged to Tenant by the utility company which otherwise would furnish such
service to the Premises if it provided such service and metered the same
directly to the Premises, but in no event at a cost which is less than the cost
Landlord must pay in providing such service, and in no event less than the
minimum monthly charge which would have been charged by the utility company in
providing such service.
Landlord may make additional services, including but not limited to, pest
control, trash compactor/trash removal, cleaning, and security, available to
the Premises and, in such event, Tenant shall utilize such services, at
Tenant's expense.
Tenant shall operate its heating and air conditioning so that the
temperature in the Premises will be approximately the same as that in the
adjoining mall, and set Tenant's thermostat at the same temperature as that
thermostat in the mall which is nearest the Premises. Tenant shall be
responsible for the installation, maintenance, repair and replacement of air
conditioning, heating and ventilation systems within and specifically for the
Premises, including all components such as air handling units, air distribution
systems, motors, controls, grilles, thermostats, filters and other components.
Tenant shall operate ventilation so that the relative air pressure in the
Premises will be the same as or less than that in the adjoining mall as
reasonably required by the Landlord.
In the event Tenant requires the use of telecommunication services,
including, but not limited to, credit card verification and/or other data
transmission, then Tenant shall contract for such services with one of the
service providers available at the Center.
In addition to any rental abatement to which Tenant otherwise is entitled,
if Tenant is prevented from using the Premises or any portion thereof for five
(5) consecutive days or ten (10) days in any twelve (12) consecutive month
period (the "Eligibility Period") as a result of Landlord's failure to provide
utilities or services to the Premises, then Tenant's rent shall be abated after
the expiration of the eligibility period for such time that Tenant continues to
be so prevented from using the Premises or portion thereof, in the proportion
that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented
from using bears to the total rentable area of the Premises. However, in the
event that Tenant is prevented from so conducting its business in any portion
of the Premises for a period in excess of the Eligibility Period, and the
remaining portion of the premises is not sufficient to allow Tenant to
effectively conduct its business therein, then for such time after expiration
of the Eligibility Period during which Tenant is so prevented from effectively
conducting its business therein, the rent for the entire Premises shall be
abated; provided, however, if Tenant reoccupies and conducts its business from
any portion of the Premises during such period, the rent allocable to such
reoccupied portion, based on the proportion that the rentable area of such
reoccupied portion of the Premises bears to the total rentable area of the
Premises, shall be payable by Tenant from the date such business operations
commence. Notwithstanding anything herein in this paragraph which may be to the
contrary, Tenant shall not be permitted to xxxxx rent as hereinabove otherwise
provided if the failure to provide any such utilities or services to the
Premises is as a result of Tenant's failure to pay for the same or due to the
negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its employees, agents or
contractors.
Section 7.2. Air Conditioning of Premises.
Landlord will provide and maintain a central plant and a system of chilled
media to the Premises installed at a point determined by Landlord for the
effective cooling of the Premises. Tenant agrees to purchase the chilled media
services from Landlord and pay Landlord annually therefor as additional rent,
in equal monthly installments, in advance on the first day of each month the
current Adjusted HVAC Plant Charge (which shall consist of Minimum Charge of
$2.00 per square foot of Store Floor Area per year, increased in the manner
hereinafter provided).
9
10
The Adjusted HVAC Plant Charge shall be recalculated from time to time on
dates selected by the Landlord (but no more often than annually, each time the
Landlord's utility costs are changed and/or each time field verification
indicates that Tenant's use of the system has changed.)
The current Adjusted HVAC Plant Charge shall be calculated by multiplying
the Minimum Charge by a series of adjusting multipliers as follows:
Adjusted HVAC Plant Charge = Minimum Charge x M1 x M2 x M3 x M4
(a) M1 = Capacity Multiplier
The capacity multiplier shall be the greater of 1 or the multiplier
arrived at by applying the following formula:
M1 = 1 + [0.6[BTUH/33 - 1]
The factor "BTUH" shall mean BTUH/per Sq. Ft. of Store Floor Area and
shall be the calculated peak design total heat gain as determined in accordance
with ASHRAE procedures. Tenant's outdoor air or exhaust that is derived via the
Landlord's system, and total heat gain from the roof, lights, fan motors and
other items, shall be included in calculating the BTUH/per Sq. Ft. factor of
this section for purposes of determining the capacity multiplier. The peak
total heat gain shall be calculated using the same sun time hour as is used by
Landlord in determining the peak building heat gain. (Typically 1600 hours).
(b) M2 = Hours Multiplier
The hours multiplier shall be the greater of 1 or the multiplier
arrived at by applying the following formula:
M2 = 1 = [Extra Hours/Regular Hours]
The term "Extra Hours" shall mean Tenant's hours use of system during
times other than the originally established regular weekly hours of the Center.
The term "Regular Hours" shall mean originally established regular weekly hours
of the Center.
(c) M3 = Utility Cost Multiplier
The utility cost multiplier shall be the multiplier arrived at by
applying the following formula:
M3 = 1 + [0.5[Current Cost/Original Cost - 1]]
The term "Current Cost" shall mean "Utility Cost" based on rates in
effect on the selected date. The term "Original Cost" shall mean Utility Cost
based on rates in effect on March 31, 1994. The term "Utility Cost" shall mean
the cost to Landlord of the utilities necessary for furnishing chilled media to
the Premises, including all charges made to Landlord by the public utilities
furnishing the same and based on the original consumption and demands estimated
for the Central HVAC System and building.
(d) M4 = Maintenance Cost Multiplier
The Maintenance Cost Multiplier shall be the greater of 1 or the
multiplier arrived at by applying the following formula:
M4 = 1 + [0.1 [Current CPI/Original CPI - 1]]
The term "Current CPI" shall mean the "Consumer Price Index" on the
selected date. The term "Original CPI" shall mean the "Consumer Price Index" for
February 1, 1996. The term "Consumer Price index" as used in this Section 7.2
and in Section 14.1 herein shall mean the Consumer Price Index All Items for All
Urban Consumers (CPI-U, 1982-4=100)" published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
of the U.S. Department of Labor. If the publication of the Consumer Price Index
of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics is discontinued, comparable statistics on
the purchasing power of the consumer dollar published by a responsible financial
periodical selected by Landlord shall be used for making such computations.
Section 7.3. Enforcement and Termination.
In the event of any material default by Tenant (as defined in Section 18.1
below), Landlord reserves the right, in addition to all other rights and
remedies available to Landlord, to cut off and discontinue, without notice or
liability to Tenant, any utilities or services provided in accordance with the
provisions of this Article VII. Except as otherwise provided herein to the
contrary, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant in damages or otherwise if any
utilities or services, whether or not furnished by Landlord hereunder, are
interrupted or terminated because of repairs, installation or improvements, or
any cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control, nor shall any such termination
relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease. Tenant shall operate
the Premises in such a way as shall not unreasonably waste fuel, energy, and
natural resources. If Landlord provides any utilities or services under Section
7.1 or 7.2 of this Lease to tenants, Landlord may, upon written direction,
require Tenant to obtain such services from a third party provider without
liability for the same. No discontinuance of any utilities or services shall
constitute a constructive eviction.

ARTICLE VIII
CONDUCT OF BUSINESS BY TENANT
Section 8.1. Use of Premises.
The Premises shall be occupied and used by Tenant for the purpose of
conducting therein the business of an auto racing entertainment center and other
related retail uses. The entertainment facility may include a combination of
driving simulators, but shall not include coin operated machines as typically
found in conventional video arcade game room type operations. Tenant shall be
permitted to use the Premises for the display and retail sale of auto racing and
other auto racing themed or related entertainment merchandise. Tenant shall be
permitted to sell some concessions from the Premises as mutually agreed to from
time to time by Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall not use or permit or suffer
the use of the Premises for any other business or purpose. Tenant is hereby
specifically prohibited from selling, offering for sale, giving away or
displaying Mall of America merchandise or any other merchandise or items that
bear the Mall of America name, trademark, service xxxx or logo thereon without
Landlord's prior written consent thereto which consent may be given or withheld
by Landlord in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion and Landlord's failure to
give such consent shall not be deemed unreasonable.
Section 8.2. Prompt Occupancy and Use.
Tenant will occupy the Premises upon the Commencement Date and thereafter
continuously operate and conduct in one hundred percent (100%) of the Premises
during each hour of the entire Lease Term when Tenant is required under this
Lease to be open for business the business permitted under Section 8.1 hereof,
with a full staff and full stock of merchandise, using only such minor portions
of the Premises for storage and office purposes as are reasonably required. The
parties agree that: Landlord has relied upon Tenant's occupancy and operation in
accordance with the foregoing provisions; because of the difficulty or
impossibility of determining Landlord's damages which would result from Tenant's
violation of such provisions, including but not limited to damages from loss of
Percentage Rent from Tenant and other tenants, and diminished saleability,
mortgageability and economic value, Landlord shall be entitled to liquidated
damages if it elects to pursue such remedy; therefore for any day that Tenant
does not fully comply with the provisions of this Section 8.2 the Minimum Annual
Rent, prorated on a daily basis, shall be increased by ten percent (10%), such
increased sum representing the damages which the parties agree Landlord will
suffer by Tenant's noncompliance. In addition to all other remedies, Landlord
shall have the right to obtain specific performance by Tenant upon Tenant's
failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.2.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may temporarily cease operating its
business in the Premises for reasonable periods in which: (i) Tenant is
carrying on remodeling activities, provided Tenant gives Landlord's Center
manager at least ten (10) days prior notice of the anticipated dates Tenant
will be closed and provided such remodeling activities have Landlord's prior
approval; (ii) Tenant is closed for the taking of inventory not to exceed three
(3) non-consecutive days in any period of twelve (12) consecutive months
provided Tenant has given Landlord's Center manager notification of the
anticipated date Tenant intends to close for inventory purposes at least five
(5) days in advance; (iii) Tenant is unable or reasonably unwilling to operate
as a result of casualty or natural disaster, condemnation, interruption of
utilities or services, extremely inclement weather, civil unrest, operation of
the business would expose Tenant's employees, agents or invitees to an
unreasonable risk of physical injury or property damage, or other force majeure
events of the type of described in Section 24.5 hereof.
Section 8.3. Conduct of Business.
Such business shall be conducted (a) under the name NASCAR(R) SILICON
MOTOR SPEEDWAY or SILICON MOTOR SPEEDWAY unless another name is previously
approved in writing by the Landlord which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld provided: (i) Tenant gives Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior
written notice of such new trade name; (ii) Tenant provides Landlord with sign
plans for Landlord's review and approval prior to the fabrication and
installation thereof; and (iii) such new trends name is not the same as or
confusingly similar to the trade name of any other tenant or occupant in the
Center; and (b) in such manner as shall promote the transaction of a maximum
volume of business in and at the Premises. Tenant's store shall be and remain
open from 10:00 A.M. until 9:00 P.M. each day of the week except Sunday, on
Sunday from 12:00 P.M. until 6:00 P.M. Tenant shall have the right (but not be
obligated to) operate during such other hours as any other tenant in the Retail
Store remains open for business.
Section 8.4. Operation by Tenant.
Tenant covenants and agrees that it will: not place or maintain any
merchandise, vending machines or other articles in any vestibule or entry of the
Premises or outside the Premises; store garbage, trash, rubbish and other
refuse in rat-proof and insect-proof containers inside the Premises, and
remove the same frequently and regularly and, if directed by Landlord, by such
means and methods and at such times and intervals as are designated by
Landlord, all at Tenant's expense; not permit any sound system audible, or
reasonably objectionable advertising medium visible, outside the Premises; keep
all mechanical equipment free of vibration and noise that has an adverse
effect on the operation of the Center or interferes with any other tenant's
quiet enjoyment of its premises, and in good working order and condition; not
commit or permit waste or a nuisance upon the Premises; not permit or cause
odors to emanate or be dispelled from the Premises; not solicit business in the
Common Areas nor distribute advertising matter to, in or upon any Common Areas;
not permit the loading or unloading or the parking or standing of delivery
vehicles outside any area designated therefor, nor permit any use of vehicles
which will interfere with the use of any Common Areas; comply with all laws,
recommendations, ordinances, rules and regulations of governmental, public,
private and other authorities and agencies, including those with authority over
insurance rates, with respect to Tenant's particular use or occupancy of the
Premises, and including but not limited to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxxxx Occupational
Safety and Health Act but excluding any structural portions of the Premises
maintained by Landlord except as arises out of Tenant's particular use of the
Premises and except for Tenant's compliance with the Americans With
Disabilities Act ("ADA") within the Premises; light the show windows of the
Premises and all signs each night of the year for not less than one (1) hour
after the Premises is permitted to be closed; not permit any noxious, toxic or
corrosive fuel or gas, dust, dirt or fly ash on the Premises; not place a load
on any floor in the Center which exceeds the floor load per square foot which
such floor was designed to carry. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant will place
and operate within the Premises racing automobile
11
12
simulators that, among other things will create sound emissions and visual
effects incidental to Tenant's activities from the Premises. Landlord hereby
approves of the installation of the simulators and related equipment and
systems, as shown on Tenant's Plans as approved by Landlord. The foregoing
shall not, however, relieve Tenant of compliance with applicable code
requirements or other provisions of this Section 8.4.
Section 8.5. Storage.
Tenant shall store in the Premises only merchandise which Tenant intends
to sell at, in or from the Premises, within a reasonable time after receipt
thereof.
Section 8.6. Painting, Decorating, Displays, Alterations.
Tenant will not paint (other than touch-up paint from time to time),
decorate or change the architectural treatment of any part of the exterior of
the Premises nor any part of the interior of the Premises visible from the
exterior nor make any structural alterations, additions or changes in the
Premises without Landlord's written approval thereto, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and will promptly remove any paint,
decoration, alteration, addition or changes applied or installed without
Landlord's approval and restore the Premises to an acceptable condition or take
such other action with respect thereto as Landlord directs. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant shall be permitted to make interior, non-storefront,
non-structural, non-mechanical and non-utility alterations and improvements to
the Premises without Landlord's prior consent thereto so long as the cost of
such work does not exceed Ten Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) in any
period of twelve (12) consecutive months.
Tenant will install and maintain at all times, subject to the other
provisions of this Section 8.6, merchandise displays in any show windows on the
Premises; the arrangement, style, color and general appearance thereof and of
displays in the interior of the Premises which are visible from the exterior,
including, but not limited to, window displays, advertising matter, signs,
merchandise and store fixtures, shall be maintained in keeping with the
character and standards of the Center.
Section 8.7. Other Operations.
If during the Lease Term Tenant directly operates or manages in any other
store or business operated for a purpose of business in direct competition with
all or part of the business permitted under Section 8.1 hereof within a radius
of ten (10) miles of the Center, it will injure Landlord's ability and right to
receive Percentage Rent (such ability and right being a major consideration for
this Lease and the construction of the Center). Accordingly, if Tenant
operates, manages or has such interest in any such store or business within
such radius, 100% of all sales made from any such other store or business shall
be included in the computation of Gross Sales for the purpose of determining
Percentage Rent under this Lease as though said Gross Sales had actually been
made at, in or from the Premises. Landlord shall have all rights of inspection
of books and records with respect to such stores or businesses as it has with
respect to the Premises; and Tenant shall furnish to Landlord such reports with
respect to Gross Sales from such other store or business as it is herein
required to furnish with respect to the Premises.
Section 8.8. Emissions and Hazardous Materials.
Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, cause or
permit, any Hazardous Material (hereinafter defined) to be brought or remain
upon, kept, used, discharged, leaked, or emitted in or about, or treated at the
Premises or the Center. As used in this Lease, "Hazardous Material(s)" shall
mean any hazardous, toxic or radioactive substance, material, matter or waste
which is or becomes regulated by any federal, state or local law, ordinance,
order, rule, regulation, code or any other governmental restriction or
requirement, and shall include asbestos, petroleum products and the terms
"hazardous Substance: and Hazardous Waste" as defined in the Comprehensive
Environmental Response. Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), as amended,
42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq., and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
("RCRA"), as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq. To obtain Landlord's
consent, Tenant shall prepare an "Environmental Audit" for Landlord's review.
Such Environmental Audit shall list: (1) the name(s) of each Hazardous Material
and a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) as required by the Occupational Safety
and Health Act (but only if an MSDS is required for the use or storage of such
Hazardous Materials); (2) the volume proposed to be used, stored and/or treated
at the Premises (monthly); (3) the purpose of such Hazardous Material; (4) the
proposed on-premises storage location(s); (5) the name(s) of the proposed
off-premises disposal entity; and (6) an emergency preparedness plan in the
event of a release. Additionally, the Environmental Audit shall include copies
of all required federal, state, and local permits (if required) concerning or
related to the proposed use, storage, or treatment by Tenant, its employees,
agents or contractors of any Hazardous Material(s) at the Premises. Tenant

treat a new Hazardous Material at the Premises or when the volume of existing
Hazardous Materials to be used, stored, or treated at the Premises expands by
ten percent (10%) during any thirty (30) day period. If Landlord in its
reasonable judgment finds the Environmental Audit acceptable, then Landlord
shall deliver to Tenant Landlord's written consent. Notwithstanding such
consent, Landlord may revoke its consent upon: (1) Tenant's failure to remain in
full compliance with applicable environmental permits and/or any other
requirements under any federal, state, or local law, ordinance, order, rule,
regulation, code or any other governmental restriction or requirement
(including but not limited to the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601
et seq., and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"), as amended,
42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq.) related to environmental safety, human health,
or employee safety; (2) the Tenant's use of Hazardous Materials poses a human
health risk to other Tenants: or (3) the Tenant expands its use, storage, or
treatment of any Hazardous Material(s) in a manner inconsistent with the safe
operation of a shopping center. Should Landlord consent in writing to Tenant
bringing, using storing or treating any Hazardous Material(s) in or upon the
Premises or the Center, Tenant shall strictly obey and adhere to any and all
federal, state or local laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations, codes or
any other governmental restrictions of ("CERCLA"), as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section
9601 et seq., and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"), as
amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq.) which in any way regulate, govern or
impact Tenant's possession, use, storage, treatment or disposal of said
Hazardous Material(s). In addition, Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord
that (1) Tenant shall apply

for and remain in compliance with any and all federal, state or local permits
in regard to Hazardous Materials used or stored by Tenant: (2) Tenant shall
report to any and all applicable governmental authorities any release by

Hazardous Material(s) as required by any and all federal, state or local laws,
ordinances, orders, rules, regulations, codes or any other governmental
restrictions or requirements; (3) Tenant, within five (5) days of receipt,
shall send to Landlord a copy of any notice, order, inspection report, or other
document issued by any governmental authority relevant to the Tenant's
compliance status with environmental or health and safety laws; and, (4) Tenant
shall remove from the Premises all Hazardous Materials brought, placed or
installed on the Premises by Tenant, its employees, agents or contractors at
the termination of this Lease.
In addition to, and in no way limiting, Tenant's duties and obligations as
set forth in Section 11.6 of this Lease, should Tenant breach any of its duties
and obligations as set forth in this Section 8.8 of this Lease, or if the
release of any Hazardous Material(s) brought, placed or installed on the
Premises by Tenant, its employees, agents or contractors results in
contamination of the Premises, the Center, any land other than the Center, the
atmosphere, or any water or waterway (including groundwater), or if
contamination of the Premises or of the Center by any Hazardous Material(s)
otherwise occurs for which Tenant is otherwise legally liable to Landlord for
damages resulting therefrom, Tenant shall indemnify, save harmless and, at
Landlord's option and with attorneys approved in writing by Landlord, defend
Landlord, and its contractors, agents, employees, partners, officers, directors
and mortgagees, if any, from any and all claims, demands, damages, expenses,
fees, costs, fines, penalties, suits, proceedings, actions, causes of action,
and losses as a result of such contamination. This includes, without
limitation, costs and expenses, incurred in connection with any investigation
of site conditions or any cleanup, remedial, removal or restoration work
required by any federal, state or local governmental agency or political
subdivision because of the presence of Hazardous Material(s) on or about the
Premises or the Center, or because of the presence of Hazardous Material(s)
anywhere else which came or otherwise emanated from Tenant or the Premises.
Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Material(s) on
or about the Premises or the Center caused or permitted by Tenant results in
any contamination of the Premises or the Center, Tenant shall, at its sole
expense, promptly take all actions and expense as are necessary to return the
Premises and/or the Center to the condition existing prior to the introduction
of any such Hazardous Material(s) to the Premises or the Center; provided,
however, the Landlord's approval of such actions shall first be obtained in
writing.
Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, Landlord hereby
consents to Tenant's use of hydraulic oil in connection with the operation of
the simulators and cleaning and office products customarily used in retail or
office premises so long as such materials are used, handled, stored and
disposed of in accordance with applicable laws. Landlord hereby acknowledges
that such materials are approved and satisfy the Environmental Audit
requirements otherwise applicable to such materials.

Tenant's particular use of the Premises or compliance with ADA requirements. If
replacement of equipment, fixtures and appurtenances required to be maintained
by Tenant is necessary, Tenant shall replace the same with new or completely
reconditioned equipment, fixtures and appurtenances, and repair all damages
done in or by such replacement. If Tenant fails to perform its obligations

notice to Tenant, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, perform Tenant's
obligations or perform work resulting from Tenant's acts, actions or omissions
and add the cost of the same to the next installment of Minimum Monthly Rent

thereon at the rate set forth in Section 4.2 herein and reasonable expenses
incurred in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys' fees, which

construed as a consent on the part of Landlord to subject Landlord's estate in
the Premises to any lien or liability under the lien laws of the State of
Minnesota. Tenant's obligation to observe and perform any of the provisions of
this Section 10.3 shall survive the expiration of the Lease Term or the earlier

administrative and legal expenses incurred by Landlord in connection
with any assignment or subletting. The Assignment Fee initially will
be One Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000.00) and shall increase by
One Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($100.00) at the end of each full Lease
Year of the Lease Term.

whenever the same is receivable by Tenant, together with, as additional rent,
the excess, if any, of the rent and other charges payable by the assignee or
sublessee over the Minimum Annual Rent and other charges payable under the Lease

reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by
Tenant to procure such assignment or subletting including, without limitation,
legal fees and costs, brokerage commissions, and inducements and concessions to
the subtenant or assignee related to such subletting or assignment. Such

interest in the possession, use, occupancy or utilization of the Premises shall
enter into any lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement for use,
occupancy or utilization of space in the Premises which provides for

rental or other payment for such use, occupancy or utilization based, in whole
or part, on the net income or profits derived by any person from the Premises
leased, used, occupied, or utilized (other than an amount based on a fixed

to the Fund shall not affect Tenant's obligations hereunder.
Section 14.2. Advertising.
Tenant shall furnish to Landlord an annual statement at the end of each
Lease Year showing the amounts spent by Tenant on white space advertising or
other advertising media. Each such annual statement shall be made a part of the
Gross Sales annual report required to be furnished by Tenant under Section 4.3.
If Tenant's annual statement shows that Tenant has expended for such
advertising, during the preceding Lease Year, less than [***] of its Gross Sales
for said period, Tenant shall within thirty (30) days after the required
delivery date of its annual statement contribute to the Marketing Fund referred
to in Section 14.1 above the difference between the amount actually expended for
such advertising and [***] of such Gross Sales. Contributions or other payments
payable by Tenant to the said Marketing Fund shall not be deemed an amount
expended for advertising within the meaning of this Section 14.2. All
expenditures made by Tenant for advertising in connection with Tenant's other
stores, if any, within a fifteen (15) mile radius from the nearest perimeter
boundary of the whole Center, may be included by Tenant to comply with this
Section 14.2, provided such advertising in all instances includes the Premises
and encompasses or is distributed to the geographical trade area in which the
whole Center is located.
Section 14.3. Media Fund.
Landlord may, at its option, create and maintain a Media Fund, the
exclusive purpose of which shall be to pay all costs and expenses associated
with the purchase of electronic, print or outdoor advertising for the promotion
of the Center. In the event Landlord does create and maintain the Media Fund,
Tenant agrees to contribute to such Fund, beginning upon the later to occur of
(a) the Commencement Date or (b) the date the Media Fund is created, a sum equal
to [***] per square foot of Store Floor Area during each calendar year of the
Lease Term (hereinafter referred to as "Media Fund Charge"), payable in equal
monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each and every month (pro
rated for partial months).
The Media Fund Charge shall be adjusted annually by a percentage equal to
the percentage increase or decrease in the electronic, print and outdoor
advertising rates of the media used for advertising and promotions in the
preceding calendar year in the media market in which the Center is located,
provided, however that said charge shall not be less than as originally set
forth herein. Within ninety (90) days following the close of each calendar
year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant a statement for the preceding calendar year
showing the amounts expended by Landlord for media advertising. Tenant hereby
authorizes Landlord to use Tenant's trade name and a brief description of
Tenant's business in connection with any media advertising purchased pursuant
to this Section.
Notwithstanding anything herein in this Section 14.3 which may be to the
contrary, Tenant shall have the right to negotiate with Landlord's Center
marketing representative with respect to performing certain promotional
activities as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties with Tenant's cost for
such promotional activities credited, in whole or in part, to Tenant's Media
Fund Charge Obligation under this Section 14.3. The foregoing shall not,
however, require Landlord and/or Landlord's Center marketing representative to
agree to Tenant's proposed promotional activity and/or to any credit to Tenant's
Media Fund Charge obligation payable hereunder unless otherwise specified to the
contrary in a separate written agreement between Landlord and Tenant.
*** Confidential treatment requested.

Section 14.4. Merchants' Association.
Landlord may, at its option, create and maintain a Merchants' Association
(the "Association") in lieu of the Fund and the Media Fund. In that event,
Tenant agrees to contribute to the Association, beginning upon the later to
occur of (a) the Commencement Date or (b) the date the Association is created,
the sum of the amounts Tenant would be obligated to contribute to the Fund and
the Media Fund under Sections 14.1 and 14.3 had Landlord create and maintained
the Fund and the Media Fund. Such amount shall be payable by Tenant to the
Association in equal monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each
and every month (prorated for partial months). Landlord shall contribute to the
Association during each calendar year an amount equal to the amount Landlord
would otherwise be required to contribute to the Fund in accordance with
Section 14.1 above. Any overpayment or underpayment of such amount by Landlord
shall be adjusted annually.

DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
If the Premises are hereafter damaged or destroyed or rendered partially
untenantable for their accustomed use by fire or other casualty insured under
the coverage which Landlord is obligated to carry pursuant to Section 11.1
hereof, Landlord shall promptly repair the same to substantially the condition
which they were in immediately prior to the happening of such casualty
(excluding stock in trade, fixtures, furniture, furnishings, carpeting, floor
covering, wall covering, drapes, ceiling and equipment). From the date of any
casualty (whether or not insured or required to be insured) until the Premises
are so repaired and restored, the Minimum Monthly Rent payments and all other
rent payments payable hereunder, except Real Estate Taxes, shall xxxxx in such
proportion as the part of said Premises thus destroyed or rendered untenantable
bears to the total Premises; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be
obligated to repair and restore if such casualty is not covered by the insurance
which Landlord is obligated to carry pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof or is
caused directly by the negligence of Tenant, its agents or employees and
provided, further, that Landlord shall not be obligated to expend for any repair
or restoration an amount in excess of the insurance proceeds recovered by
Landlord therefor (other than applicable deductibles), and provided, further,
that if the Premises be damaged, destroyed or rendered untenantable for their
accustomed uses by fire or other casualty to the extent of more than fifty
percent (50%) of the cost to replace the Premises during the last three (3)
years of the Lease Term, then Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to
terminate this Lease effective as of the date of such casualty by giving to the
other party, within thirty (30) days after the happening of such casualty,
written notice of such termination. If such notice be given, this Lease shall
terminate and Landlord shall promptly repay to Tenant any rent theretofore paid
in advance which was not earned at the date of such casualty. Any time that
Landlord repairs or restores the Premises after damage or destruction, then
Tenant shall promptly repair or replace its stock in trade, fixtures,
furnishings, furniture, carpeting, wall covering, floor covering, drapes,
ceiling and equipment to the same condition as they were in immediately prior to
the casualty, and if Tenant has closed its business, Tenant shall promptly
reopen for business upon the completion of such repairs.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event
all or any portion of the Center shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other
cause (notwithstanding that the Premises may be unaffected thereby), to the
extent the cost of restoration thereof would exceed fifteen percent (15%) of
the amount it would have cost to replace the Center in its entirety at the time
such damage or destruction occurred, then Landlord may terminate this Lease by
giving Tenant thirty (30) days prior notice of Landlord's election to do so,
which notice shall be given, if at all, within sixty (60) days following the
date of such occurrence. In the event of the termination of this Lease as
aforesaid, this Lease shall cease thirty (30) days after such notice is given,
and the rent and other charges hereunder shall be adjusted as of that date.
If the Premises are damaged and the reasonably estimated time to repair
the damage will exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, then either party shall
have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice tot he
other party within thirty (30) days after the estimated time for rebuilding is
determined.
ARTICLE XVII
EMINENT DOMAIN
Section 17.1. Condemnation.
If ten percent (10%) or more of the Store Floor Area or fifteen percent
(15%) or more of the Center shall be acquired or condemned by right of eminent
domain for any public or quasi public use or purpose, or if an Operating
Agreement is terminated as a result of such an acquisition or condemnation,
then Landlord at its election may terminate this Lease by giving notice to
Tenant of its election, and in such event rentals shall be apportioned and
adjusted as of the date of termination. If the lease shall not be terminated as
aforesaid, then shall continue in full force and effect, and Landlord shall
within a reasonable time after possession is physically taken (subject to
delays due to shortage of labor, materials or equipment, labor difficulties,
breakdown of equipment, government restriction fires, other casualties or other
causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord) repair or rebuild what
remains of the Premises for Tenant's occupancy; and a just proportion of the
Minimum Annual Rent shall be abated, according to the nature and extent of the
injury to the Premises until such repairs and rebuilding are completed, and
thereafter for the balance of the Lease Term.

20
Section 17.2. Damages.
Landlord reserves, and Tenant assigns to Landlord, all rights to damages
on account of any taking or condemnation or any act of any public or quasi
public authority for which damages are payable. Tenant shall execute such
instruments of assignments as Landlord requires, join with Landlord in any
action for the recovery of damages, if requested by Landlord, and turn over to
Landlord any damages recovered in any proceeding. If Tenant fails to execute
instruments required by Landlord, or undertake such other steps as requested,
Landlord shall be deemed the duly authorized irrevocable agent and
attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute such instruments and undertake such steps
on behalf of Tenant. However, Landlord does not reserve any damages payable for
trade fixtures installed by Tenant at its own cost which are not part of the
realty nor for any other damages Tenant may be entitled to recover by law as a
result of such taking or condemnation provided Tenant's claim therefor is made
against the condemning authority and not against the Landlord or Landlord's
mortgagee, if any, and provided, further, Tenant's damage award does not reduce
or diminish any damage award payable to Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee.
ARTICLE XVIII
DEFAULT BY TENANT
Section 18.1. Rights to Re-Enter.
The following shall be considered for all purposes to be defaults under
and breaches of this Lease: (a) any failure of Tenant to pay any rent or other
amount within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord that
such amount is past due hereunder; (b) any failure by Tenant to perform or
observe any other of the terms, provisions, conditions and covenants of this
Lease and the continuance of such failure for more than thirty (30) days after
written notice of such failure provided, however, if such failure cannot
reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall be allowed
such longer period as reasonably may be required so long as Tenant promptly
commences and diligently completes such cure; (c) a determination by Landlord
that Tenant has submitted any false report required to be furnished hereunder;
(d) anything done by Tenant upon or in connection with the Premises or the
construction of any part thereof which interferes in any way with, or results
in a work stoppage in connection with, construction of any part of the Center
or any other tenant's space and the failure of such interruption to be cured
within five (5) days after written notice to Tenant and Tenant shall
immediately, upon oral or written direction from Landlord or Landlord's
authorized representative, take such action as Landlord shall specify in order
to promptly prevent, avoid or terminate such interference or work stoppage in
connection with construction of any part of the Center or any other tenant's
space; (e) the bankruptcy or insolvency of Tenant or the filing by or against
Tenant of a petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization or arrangement or for
the appointment of a receiver or trustee of all or a portion of Tenant's
property, or Tenant's assignment for the benefit of creditors; (f) if Tenant
abandons or vacates or does not do business in the Premises when required to do
so under this Lease and Tenant subsequently fails to reopen for business in the
Premises within five (5) days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's written
demand therefor; or (g) this Lease or Tenant's interest herein or in the
Premises or any improvements thereon or any property of Tenant are executed upon
or attached; or (h) the Premises come into the hands of any person other than
expressly permitted under this lease (i) repetition or continuation of any
failure to pay rent or other sums due hereunder where such failure shall
continue or be repeated for two consecutive months or a total of four months in
any period of twelve consecutive months. In any such event, Landlord, in
addition to all other rights or remedies it may have, shall have the right
thereupon or at any time thereafter to terminate this Lease by giving notice to
Tenant stating the date upon which such termination shall be effective, and
shall have the right, either before or after any such termination, to re-enter
and take possession of the Premises, remove all persons and property from the
Premises, store such property at Tenant's expense, and sell such property if
necessary to satisfy any deficiency in payments by Tenant as required hereunder.
Section 18.2. Right to Relet.
If Landlord re-enters the Premises as above provided, or if it takes
possession pursuant to legal proceedings or otherwise, it may either terminate
this Lease or it may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, make
such alterations and repairs as it deems advisable to relet the Premises, and
relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may extend
beyond the Lease Term) and at such rentals and upon such other terms and
conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion deems advisable; upon each such
reletting all rentals received by Landlord therefrom shall be applied, first, to
any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second,
to pay any costs and expenses of reletting, including without limitation,
brokers and attorneys' fees and costs of advertising, alterations and repairs;
third, to rent due hereunder, and the residue, if any, shall be held by
Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as it becomes due hereunder.
Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate any damages resulting from
Tenant's default including reasonable efforts to relet the Premises upon
commercially reasonable terms in accordance with then currently market
conditions. Landlord shall not, however, be required to give the Premises
preference over other space in the Center in attempting to re-let the same.
If rentals received from such reletting during any month are less than
that to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall immediately
pay any such deficiency to Landlord. No re-entry or taking possession of the
Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease
unless a written notice of such termination is given by Landlord.

ARTICLE XXI
ACCESS BY LANDLORD
Section 21.1. Right of Entry.
Landlord, its agents and employees shall have the right to enter the
Premises from time to time following not less than forty-eight (48) hours prior
notice, oral or written, to Tenant or Tenant's store manager (except in an
emergency, no notice shall be required) at reasonable times to examine the
same, show them to prospective purchasers and other persons, and make such
repairs, alterations, improvements or additions as Landlord deems necessary.
Rent shall not xxxxx while any such repairs, alterations, improvements, or
additions are being made. During the last six (6) months of the Lease Term,
Landlord may exhibit the Premises to prospective tenants. In addition, during
any apparent emergency, Landlord or its agents may enter the Premises forcibly
without liability therefor and without in any manner affecting Tenant's
obligations under this Lease.

sum equal to [***] of the Minimum Monthly Rent prorated for the number of days
of such holding over, plus a prorata portion of all other amounts which Tenant
would have been required to pay hereunder had this Lease been in effect. If
Tenant holds over with or without Landlord's written consent Tenant shall occupy

time to time, may make an assignment of its interest in this Lease and, in the

the assignee of Landlord's interest in this Lease) shall be released from any
and all liability thereafter accruing hereunder.

ARTICLE XXIV
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 24.1. Waiver.
No waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any breach of any term, covenant or
condition hereof shall be deemed a waiver of the same or any subsequent breach
of the same or any other term, covenant or condition. The acceptance of rent by
Landlord shall not be deemed a waiver of any earlier breach by Tenant of any
term, covenant or condition hereof, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such
breach when such rent is accepted. No covenant, term or condition of this Lease
shall be deemed waived by Landlord or Tenant unless waived in writing.
Section 24.2. Accord and Satisfaction.
Landlord is entitled to accept, receive and cash or deposit any payment
made by Tenant for any reason or purpose or in any amount whatsoever, and apply
the same at Landlord's option to any obligation of Tenant and the same shall
not constitute payment of any amount owed except that to which Landlord has
applied the same. No endorsement or statement on any check or letter of Tenant

purpose whatsoever. The acceptance of any such check or payment shall be
without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover any and all amounts owed by
Tenant hereunder and Landlord's right to pursue any other available remedy.

required under this Lease, the period for the performance of any such act shall

partner of Landlord or of the managing partner of Landlord (an "Exempt
Partner") that any provision of this Lease, including without limitation the
provisions relating to the payment of rent and additional rent, or the absence
of any provision might give rise to unrelated business taxable income within
the meaning of section 512 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or
the regulations issued thereunder, or may jeopardize the ability of an Exempt
Partner to obtain or retain its tax-exempt status, then this Lease may be
unilaterally amended by Landlord
25
24
in such manner as shall meet the requirements reasonably specified by such
counsel and Tenant agrees that it will execute all documents or instruments
reasonable necessary to effect such amendment or amendments, provided that no
such amendment shall result on an estimated basis in Tenant having to pay in
the aggregate more money on account of its occupancy of the Premises than it
would be required to pay under the terms of this Lease, or having to receive
fewer services or services of a lesser quality than it is presently entitled to
receive under this Lease.
B. Any services which Landlord is required to furnish pursuant to the
provisions of this Lease may, at Landlord's option, be furnished from time to
time, in whole or in part, by employees of Landlord or the managing agent of

written request it will enter into direct agreements with the managing agent of
the Project or other parties designated by Landlord for the furnishing of any
such services required to be furnished by Landlord hereunder, in form and
content approved by Landlord, provided however that no such contract shall
result on an estimated basis in Tenant having to pay in the aggregate more

Lease, or having to receive fewer services or services of a lesser quality than
it is presently entitled to receive under this Lease.
Section 24.22. Option to Renew.
Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the option to renew this Lease for one

original term. No exercise of any option herein granted shall be effective if
any default under or breach of this Lease (a) exists either at the time of
exercise or on the expiration of the term during which it was exercised.
In the event such option is effectively exercised with respect to the
Renewal Term, all terms and conditions of this Lease shall be applicable to
such Renewal Term except that:
(i) The Minimum Annual Rent due and payable by Tenant to Landlord for each
Lease Year of the Renewal Term shall be [***] per square foot of Store Floor

sooner termination of the option hereinabove set forth.
