costs as a result, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its costs within ten
(1O) days after Landlord sends Tenant a request for reimbursement.

Date or the Commencement Date of this Lease. The obligations of Tenant under
this Lease shall not be affected by a postponement of the Projected Delivery
Date. Landlord shall not be liable for failure to deliver possession of the

to provide the following prior to Landlord's providing Tenant with possession
of the Premises;
(a) evidence of all insurance required under this Lease;

failure to obtain possession.
5.03. TENANT'S WORK.
(a) Tenant shall complete the build-out of the Premises and
install its fixtures and equipment in accordance with that part of Exhibit B
entitled "Tenant's Work". Landlord may perform any part of Tenant's Work if

judgment, it is necessary to coordinate the opening of or maintain the existing

Tenant's Work performed by the Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord
presents an invoice for the work to Tenant. During the course of Tenant's
Work, Tenant shall be responsible for collecting and removing all trash and
construction debris. Landlord may elect to furnish trash or construction debris
receptacles. If the Landlord provides trash or construction debris receptacles,
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost (as reasonably estimated by
Landlord) of the receptacles and for removing Tenant's trash. In addition,
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord (as reasonably estimated by Landlord) for any
temporary electricity or other utilities furnished by Landlord to the Premises
and any required construction barricades. Tenant shall perform any other work

certificates of occupancy. The Premises shall be stocked with suitable
merchandise by Tenant, fully staffed and open for business to the public, on or
before the Commencement Date.

(b) Tenant agrees to furnish to Landlord its plans and
specifications for the Premises prepared in the manner and within the time
periods prescribed by Landlord. Tenant shall be solely responsible for its
plans and specifications. Landlord's approval or modifications of Tenant's
plans and specifications shall not constitute the assumption of any
responsibility by Landlord for their accuracy or sufficiency. In addition to
complying with the requirements in Exhibit B, Tenant shall comply with any
reasonable rules and regulations Landlord may impose regarding work performed
by Tenant, including rules pertaining to installations on and access to the
roof of the Building. Landlord may prohibit access to the roof of the Building
by anyone other than Landlord's contractors. Tenant shall schedule its work so
as not to interfere with any work being performed by Landlord or by any other

unreasonably withhold or delay approval of Tenant's required insurance.
Required policies shall name Landlord as an additional insured, shall be
non-cancelable without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord, and

certificates and approvals with respect to work done and installations made by
Tenant required for the issuance of a certificate of occupancy or the
Premises. Tenant shall promptly repair, clean and restore to their prior
condition all portions of the Shopping Center affected by any work of Tenant.
It shall be Tenant's continuing obligation to keep and maintain the Premises
and all other parts of the Shopping Center free from all liens arising out of
any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by or for
Tenant. Tenant shall discharge or bond off any lien within ten (10) days after

pay the lien without inquiring into the validity or merits of the lien. All
sums advanced and fees incurred (including legal fees) by Landlord in
discharging a lien or posting a bond shall be paid by Tenant on demand as
Additional Charges. In addition, Tenant shall replace any bond posted by
Landlord on Tenant's behalf with an equivalent bond within seven (7) days after

under this Lease, Tenant may remove trade fixtures, furniture and equipment
installed by Tenant. Prior to the expiration or termination of the Lease,

harmless the Indemnitee and shall pay all costs, expenses and attorneys' fees
incurred or paid by the Indemnitee in connection with the action.

by Landlord for maintenance as described in this section shall be included in

(10) days after Landlord's request for payment.
ARTICLE 13. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
13.01. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. If any one or more of the following events

(a) Tenant fails to operate its business in compliance with Sections
6.01 and 6.02.
(b) Tenant fails to pay Rent when it becomes due and payable or
fails to furnish an estoppel certificate and either failure continues for
five (5) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant.
(c) Tenant fails to perform or comply with any term or condition of
this Lease other than those set forth in the other subsections of this
Section 13.01, and the failure continues for twenty (20) days after written
notice from Landlord to Tenant. If Tenant begins to cure the failure during
the twenty (20) day period but the term or condition is of a nature that it
cannot with continuous diligence be cured within the twenty (20) day period,
and provided that Tenant notifies Landlord that it cannot completely cure the
failure within the twenty (20) day period and diligently continues to make
all reasonable efforts to cure the failure, then the period shall be extended
for the number of days required to effect the cure.
(d) Tenant is given three (3) notices under Section 13.01(a),
13.01(b,) or 13.01(c) in any 24-month period, notwithstanding any subsequent
cure of the failure to perform or observe the terms or conditions of the
Lease as identified in the notices.
(e) Any lien, execution, levy, attachment or other legal process of
law shall occur upon Tenant's goods, fixtures, or interest in the Premises or
relating to the Shopping Center that is not discharged or bonded within ten
(10) days after the occurrence.
(f') Tenant is in Default as specifically provided in other sections
of this Lease or in any other lease between Tenant and Landlord or its
affiliate.
13.02. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES.
(a) Should a Default occur under this Lease (whether before or
during the Term) and continue beyond any applicable cure period, then in
addition to all other rights or remedies it may have, Landlord may terminate
this Lease and the Term effective on a date specified by Landlord in a notice
to Tenant. The termination date shall not be less than five (5) days after
Landlord's notice. Upon termination, Tenant shall quit and
surrender the Premises to Landlord. Notwithstanding any termination pursuant
to this section, Tenant shall remain liable for all obligations that would
have arisen under this Lease during the balance of the Term and for other
damages as described in this section. Landlord may bring an action to recover
possession from Tenant holding over and Landlord may, without notice,
re-enter the Premises, recover possession of and dispossess the Premises from
Tenant, and remove and dispose of the contents of and hold the Premises as if
this Lease had not been made.
(b) If this Lease is terminated or Tenant is dispossessed before the
expiration of the Term under this section, or if Tenant abandons or vacates
the Premises before the expiration or termination of the Term without having
paid the full Rent for the remainder of the Term, Landlord may relet the
Premises under terms as the Landlord may determine in its sole discretion. If
the full rental reserved under this Lease and any of the costs, expenses or
damages described below shall not be realized by Landlord, Tenant shall be
liable for all damages sustained by Landlord, including any Rent deficiency.
For purposes of the deficiency in Rent that would have been due under this
Lease during any period following Landlord's election to accelerate Rent,
deficiency means the excess of the future rent that would have been payable
under this Lease over the rental value of the Premises for the balance of
22
the Term, discounted to present value as of the date of acceleration based on
an interest rate equal to 200 basis points below the Prime Rate. If, at the
time that damages are to be determined under this section Landlord has relet
the Premises in whole or in pan, then the deficiency in Rent means the excess
of the future rent that would have been payable under this Lease over the
future rent called for in the re-lease during the remainder of the Term and
the deficiency shall be discounted to net present value based on an interest
rate equal to 200 basis points below the Prime Rate. Tenant also shall be
liable for all of Landlord's costs associated with Tenant's Default and any
attempts by Landlord to relet the Premises, including Landlord's reasonable
attorney's fees, brokerage fees, construction costs, tenant allowances, and
expenses incurred in taking the actions set forth in this section in order to
place the Premises in first class condition and to re-let the Premises.
Landlord, in preparing the Premises for reletting, may make alterations,
repairs or replacements in the Premises as Landlord determines advisable, and
the making of the alterations, repairs or replacements shall not operate to
release Tenant from liability under this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable
for failure to relet the Premises, or, in the event that the Premises are
relet, for failure to collect the rent under reletting. Tenant shall not be
entitled to receive the excess or any credit with respect to the excess, if
any, of net rent collected over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord.
(c) Any loss of rent and other damages sustained by Landlord may be
recovered by Landlord: (1 ) either before or after any reletting; (2) in one
or more separate actions, from time to time in Landlord's discretion, as
loss of rents or damages shall accrue; or (3) in a single proceeding deferred
until the expiration of the Term, in which event Tenant hereby agrees that
the cause of action shall not be considered to have accrued until the
original date of expiration of the Term. Nothing in this Lease shall be
construed to require Landlord to wait until this Lease or the Term would have
expired had there been no Default by Tenant or no cancellation or
termination. All amounts due under this section, including all attorneys'
fees and other Landlord expenses, shall be considered. Additional Charges
and may be recovered by Landlord in the same manner as Minimum Rent. Landlord
shall be entitled to any deficiency in Rent upon demand.
(d) Nothing contained in this Lease shall prevent Landlord from
enforcing any claim it may have against Tenant for anticipatory breach of the
unexpired Term. In the event of a breach or anticipatory breach by Tenant of
any of the provisions of this Lease, and in addition to the remedies provided
for under this Lease, Landlord may seek an injunction or any remedy provided
for at law or in equity. Mention in this Lease of any particular remedy shall
not preclude Landlord from resorting to any other remedy, in law or in
equity. Tenant expressly waives, so far as permitted by law, the service of
any notice of intention to reenter provided for in any statute, or the
institution of legal proceedings to that end. Tenant, for and on behalf of
itself and all persons claiming through or under Tenant, also waives any and
all rights of redemption or re-entry or repossession granted by or under any
laws in the event Tenant is evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the
event Landlord obtains possession of the Premises.
13.03. BANKRUPTCY.
(a) No interest in this Lease shall pass to any trustee or receiver
or assignee for the benefit of creditors or otherwise unless specifically
provided by law. Tenant's voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, including
reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code, shall constitute a Default.
(b) Rights and Obligations Under the Bankruptcy Code.
( 1 ) Upon filing of a petition by or against Tenant under the
Bankruptcy Code, Tenant, as debtor and as debtor-
in-possession, and any trustee who may be appointed with respect
to Tenant's assets or estate shall pay monthly in advance on the
first day of each month, as reasonable compensation for the use
and occupancy of the Premises, an amount equal to all Minimum
Rent and all other Additional Charges otherwise due pursuant to
this Lease.
(2) It is agreed that this Lease is a lease of real property in a
shopping center as described in Section 365 of the Bankruptcy
Code.
(3) Included within and in addition to any other conditions or
obligations imposed upon Tenant or its successor in the event of
the assumption or assignment of this Lease are the following
conditions and obligations:
(i) to cure any monetary defaults, including default in Tenant's
obligation to reimburse Landlord for Landlord's reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred (i) in enforcing this
Lease under Section 13.05 and (ii) in connection with the
assignment of this Lease under Section 16.01) and reimbursement
of pecuniary loss within not more than thirty (30) days of
assumption or assignment;
23
(ii) to deposit an additional sum equal to three (3) months'
Minimum Rent and Additional Charges to be held by Landlord
to secure the future performance under this Lease of Tenant
or its assignee;
(iii) to not change the Permitted Use and Trade Name as set forth
in Sections 1.06 and 1.03, respectively, of this Lease and
the quality, quantity and lines of merchandise, goods or
services required to be offered for sale; and
(iv) to obtain prior written consent of any Mortgagee of the
Shopping Center to the assumption or assignment.
13.04. ADDITIONAL REMEDIES AND WAIVERS. The rights and remedies of
Landlord described in this Lease shall be in addition to any other fight and
remedy now or hereinafter provided by law, and all rights and remedies shall
be cumulative. No action or inaction by Landlord shall constitute a waiver of
default or termination and no waiver of default or termination shall be
effective unless it is in writing and signed by Landlord.
13.05. CURE OF TENANT'S FAILURE. If Tenant fails to perform any of its
obligations under this Lease (including complying with the rules and
regulations of the Shopping Center), Landlord may, but is not obligated, upon
ten (10) days written notice to Tenant (except in the event of an emergency,
in which event no notice shall be required), cure Tenant's failure at
Tenant's expense. If Landlord has already terminated this Lease, Landlord's
cure or attempt to cure any failure that occasioned termination of this Lease
shall not result in a waiver of the termination. Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses
incurred to enforce this Lease. Tenant agrees to promptly repay Landlord as
Additional Charges all sums paid by Landlord pursuant to this Article, plus a
service fee of fifteen percent (15%).
ARTICLE 14. DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES
14.01. CONTINUANCE OF LEASE.
(a) Landlord may terminate this Lease upon written notice to Tenant
under the following circumstances:
(1) More than 25% of the square footage of the Premises is damaged
by fire or other casualty during the last three (3) years of the
Term and the cost of repair, in the Landlord's estimate, exceeds
$25,000. Tenant may avoid termination under this subsection if it
has an option to renew the term and it notifies the Landlord
within ten (10) days of the date of Landlord's notice of
termination that it chooses to exercise that option;
(2) Landlord is unable to rebuild any damaged portion of the
Shopping Center because it cannot obtain required governmental
approval to rebuild;
(3) More than 35% of the square footage of the Shopping Center is

of a risk not covered by the insurance required under Article 10.
(b) Should Landlord choose to terminate this Lease pursuant to this
section, it shall give written notice to Tenant within ninety (90) days after
the damage occurs or Landlord determines it cannot obtain governmental
approval to rebuild, whichever is later.
(c) Upon termination of the Lease pursuant to this section:
24
(1) the entire proceeds of the insurance provided for in Section
10.01 shall be paid by the insurance company or companies
directly to Landlord and shall belong to Landlord;
(2) the portion of the proceeds of the insurance provided for in
Section 10.02 that is allocable to equipment, fixtures and other
items and that belong to the Landlord upon the termination of
this Lease under the terms of the Lease shall be paid by the
insurance company or companies directly to Landlord and shall
belong to Landlord, and any balance of the proceeds shall be paid
to Tenant; and
(3) Landlord and Tenant shall be relieved from any and all further
liability or obligation accruing under this Lease after the date
of the termination.
(d) Tenant waives all rights that it may have pursuant to law to
terminate this Lease by reason of damage to the Premises by fire or other
casualty and agrees that the provisions of this article shall control in the
event of fire or other casualty.
14.02. RECONSTRUCTION.
(a) If fire or other casualty damages all or any portion of the
Premises and Landlord elects not to terminate this Lease, then Landlord shall
repair the damage to the extent of available insurance proceeds promptly upon
receipt of the insurance proceeds. During the time the Premises is being
repaired, all Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the floor area of the
Premises rendered unusable. Resumption of full payment of Rent shall occur,
and Tenant shall be obligated to reopen all of the Premises for business, by
the fifteenth (15th) day after Landlord notifies Tenant that the Premises
have been repaired. If Tenant opens at an earlier time in the damaged area or
remains open in the damaged area, then there shall be no reduction in Rent
for those days Tenant is open in the damaged area.
(b) Landlord may direct Tenant to repair and reconstruct the
improvements to the Premises originally provided by Tenant. Should Landlord
direct Tenant to make repairs, Tenant shall commence repairs within ten (10)
days following Landlord's notice and shall diligently pursue the completion
of the repairs and cause them to be completed as soon as possible, but in any
event within thirty (30) days following the substantial completion of any of
Landlord's repair work. In making repairs or reconstruction, Tenant, at its
expense, shall comply with all laws, ordinances and governmental rules or
regulations, shall perform all work or cause such work to be performed with
due diligence and in a first-class manner, and shall obtain all necessary
permits.
(c) In the event of any repair and reconstruction by Tenant,
Landlord shall make available to Tenant any applicable portion of any of
Landlord's insurance proceeds received for Tenant's improvements. Unless
Tenant has designated in writing to Landlord in advance of the fire or
casualty the reasonable replacement value of its improvements, Landlord shall
determine how much of Landlord's insurance proceeds shall be allocated for
Tenant's improvements. In the event of any repair or reconstruction by
Tenant, Landlord's architect or other representative shall direct the payment
of the insurance proceeds to the Tenant, payable to Tenant only upon receipt
by Landlord of certificates of the architect stating that the payments
specified are properly payable for the purpose of reimbursing Tenant for
expenditures actually made by Tenant in connection with the repairs or
reconstruction. At the election of Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee, direct
payments may be made to contractors, material suppliers and laborers upon
written certification by the architect that the payments are due and payable.
Any insurance proceeds in excess of Tenant's actual expenditures shall belong
to Landlord. Any amount expended by Tenant in excess of any insurance
proceeds received by Landlord and made available to Tenant shall be the sole
obligation of Tenant.
(d) Tenant shall ensure that anyone repairing Tenant's improvements
to the Premises shall do so in accordance with Tenant's plans and
specifications originally approved by Landlord pursuant to Exhibit B and in
accordance with subsequent working drawings and specifications previously
approved by Landlord, or, at Landlord's sole election, with new drawings
prepared by Tenant and approved in writing by Landlord.
(e) Landlord shall not be required to repair or replace Tenant's
merchandise, trade fixtures, furnishings and equipment. Except as provided in
this Article, Landlord shall not be liable or obligated to Tenant by reason
of any fire or other casualty damage to the Premises, or any damages suffered
by Tenant or the deprivation of Tenant's possession of all or any part of the
Premises.
25
ARTICLE 15. CONDEMNATION
15.01. EMINENT DOMAIN. If greater than fifty percent (50%) of the
leasable area of the Premises is taken or condemned by any governmental
authority, including by purchase by a governmental authority in lieu of a
taking (an "act of eminent domain"), then either party may terminate this
Lease by giving notice to the other party not more than sixty (60) days after
the date title vests in the governmental authority. If by act of eminent
domain the parking facilities of the Shopping Center are reduced below the
minimum parking requirements required by applicable authorities, Landlord may
terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice within one hundred twenty (120)
days after title vests in the governmental authority. In addition, if the
leases of tenants occupying more than fifty percent (50%) of the leasable
area of the Shopping Center terminate pursuant to an act of eminent domain,
Landlord may terminate this Lease by providing sixty (60) days' written
notice to Tenant. In the case of any act of eminent domain, whether or not
the term of this Lease shall terminate, all of the condemnation award shall
belong to Landlord. However, Tenant shall be entitled to any statutory
relocation awards and to any award for trade fixtures and other equipment,
not including any Tenant's Work required or permitted under this Lease which
under the terms of this Lease would have become the property of Landlord. Any
award to Tenant shall not be in diminution of any award otherwise to be made
to Landlord in the absence of an award to Tenant.
15.02. RENT APPORTIONMENT. In the event of any act of eminent domain,
Tenant's Minimum Rent and Sales Breakpoint shall be reduced as of the date of
vesting of title based on the proportion that the leasable area taken from
the Premises bears to the entire leasable area of the Premises immediately
prior to the vesture. Likewise, all Additional Charges under this Lease that
are based on the leasable area of the Premises or the leasable floor area in
the Shopping Center shall be adjusted accordingly.
15.03. TEMPORARY TAKING. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this article, the requisitioning of all or any part of the Premises by
military or other public authority because of a temporary emergency or other
circumstance shall only constitute an act of eminent domain when the use by
the requisitioning authority is expressly provided to continue, or has
continued, for a period of more than one hundred and eighty (180) days. If,
after 180 days, this Lease is not terminated under Section 15.01, then for
the duration of any period of use of the Premises by the requisitioning
authority, all the terms and provisions of this Lease shall remain in full
force and effect, except that the Minimum Rent and Sales Breakpoint shall be
reduced in the same proportion that the leasable area of the Premises
requisitioned bears to the total leasable area of the Premises. Landlord
shall be entitled to any compensation paid by the requisitioning authority
for the use and occupation of the Premises.
ARTICLE 16. ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING AND ENCUMBERING LEASE
16.01. NO ASSIGNMENT, ETC. WITHOUT LANDLORD'S CONSENT. Notwithstanding any
references to assignees, licensees, subtenants, concessionaires or other

any of Tenant's rights under the Lease, (b) sublet all or any part of the
Premises or permit the use of any part of the Premises by any persons other
than Tenant; or (c) permit the assignment or other transfer of this Lease by
operation of law. Any prohibited assignment, sublease, or transfer shall be
null and void and shall not confer any rights upon any purported transferee,
assignee, mortgagee, subtenant or occupant, and shall constitute an event of
Default subject to the provisions of Section 13.02.
16.02. TENANT REQUEST.
(a) Tenant may request that it be allowed to assign this Lease or
sublet the Premises by addressing a request to Landlord in writing at least
sixty (60) days prior to the proposed commencement date of the sublease or
assignment. Tenant's request shall include, as applicable: (1) the name and
address of the proposed sublessee or assignee; (2) the current credit rating
and financial statements for the most recent three annual periods of the
proposed sublessee or assignee; (3) a description and drawing of the portion
of the Premises to be sublet; (4) the rent to be paid by such sublessee or
assignee; (5) a description of and documentation evidencing all the other
terms and conditions of the proposed subletting or assignment of lease; and
(6) any other information as Landlord may request. Landlord shall have no
obligation to consent to any proposed assignment or sublease.
(b) In addition to any other conditions applicable to the proposed
assignment or subletting, Landlord may also consider, in determining whether
it will consent to the proposed assignment or sublease:
26
(1) whether Tenant has operated the Premises for at least one year
under the Trade Name and for the Permitted Use and neither has been
nor is not then in Default under this Lease or any other agreement
with Landlord;
(2) whether occupancy by the proposed sublessee or assignee will be
consistent with the dignity and character of the Shopping Center and
will not be more objectionable or more hazardous than that of Tenant;
(3) the financial standing of and whether the proposed assignee or
sublessee has sufficient prior experience in similar retail
operations;
(4) in the case of a nationally known Tenant, whether the subletting
or assignment shall be to a tenant who is a nationally known
manufacturer of consumer products of comparable quality to that of
Tenant;
(5) whether the proposed sublease will be expressly subject to all of the
obligations of Tenant under this Lease, and shall specifically
provide that there shall be no further subletting of the Premises or
assignment or mortgaging of the sublease;
(6) whether the proposed sublessee or assignee is not already a tenant,
subtenant or assignee of any premises within the Shopping Center, or
that there is no unleased comparable space in the Shopping Center;
(7) Purposely omitted; and
(8) whether the proposed use in connection with the assignment or
sublease is the same as the Permitted Use, or, if not the same, is
compatible, with the uses and tenant mix then existing within the
Shopping Center, and that the proposed use will not otherwise be in
violation of any exclusive right then in existence at the Shopping
Center.
16.03. LANDLORD RIGHT TO TERMINATE. Unless a transfer is part of a
transaction involving the transfer of the Premises and at least ten (10)
other retail store locations of Tenant, if Tenant submits a written request
to sublease or assign all or a portion of the Premises or this Lease, then
Landlord may terminate this Lease and regain possession of the Premises. If
Landlord elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to this section, it shall do
so within thirty (30) days after it receives Tenant's written request.
Landlord's notice shall state the date this Lease shall terminate, which
shall be between thirty (30) and ninety (90) days after Landlord's notice.
However, Tenant may, within fifteen (15) days after Landlord's termination
notice, vitiate Landlord's termination notice by notifying Landlord in
writing that it withdraws its request to assign or sublease. After
termination, Landlord may lease the Premises on any terms and conditions as
Landlord determines appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion. Tenant
shall be responsible for any brokerage or similar fees incurred by Landlord
in releasing the Premises.
16.04. COSTS.
(a) Should Landlord consent to Tenant's sublease or assignment: (1)
Tenant shall pay Landlord all consideration accruing to Tenant as the result
of any assignment of this Lease; and (2) Tenant shall pay Landlord all
consideration accruing to Tenant as the result of any subletting or other
occupancy arrangement with respect to the Premises in excess of the Rent then
payable, determined on a square foot basis if only a portion of the Premises
is being sublet. In the case of an assignment, the consideration, and in the
case of a subletting or other occupancy arrangement, the excess, shall be
paid when received by Tenant. For purposes of this subsection, consideration
means the net consideration received after payment of bona fide brokerage
fees to unrelated parties. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a certificate
specifying the full amount of all consideration within five (5) days after
Landlord requests it.
(b) Tenant shall pay, as Additional Charges, any costs and expenses,
including attorney's fees, incurred by Landlord in connection with any
request for any proposed or purported assignment, transfer or sublease. In
addition, Tenant shall pay a review fee of One Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($1,000.00) payable as follows: $500.00 payable upon Tenant's request and
$500.00 payable upon the assignment, transfer, or sublease.
27
16.05. ASSUMPTION OF OBLIGATIONS. Should Landlord consent to any sublease
of the Premises or assignment of this Lease, and as a condition to Landlord's
consent, the sublessee or assignee shall assume the performance of all of
Tenant's covenants, conditions and obligations under this Lease, including
any accrued outstanding obligations of Tenant at the time of the assignment
or subletting. This assumption shall be by written recordable instrument, in
form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, duly executed and delivered to
Landlord prior to such sublessee or assignee taking possession of all or any
part of the Premises. No assignment or sublease shall release the Tenant from
any obligation under this Lease.
16.06. CHANGE OF CONTROL. If Tenant is a corporation, then the sale,
issuance or transfer of any voting stock of Tenant or of any corporate entity
which directly or indirectly controls Tenant that results in a change in the
voting control of Tenant or the corporate entity which controls Tenant is a
prohibited assignment of this Lease. If Tenant is a partnership or an
unincorporated association, then the sale, issuance or transfer of a majority
interest, or the transfer of a majority interest in or a change in the voting
control of any partnership or unincorporated association or corporation which
directly or indirectly controls Tenant, or the transfer of any portion or all
of any partnership or managing partnership interest in Tenant or other entity
is a prohibited assignment of this Lease. The provisions of this subsection
shall not apply if the entity is a corporation subject to the reporting
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or if Tenant operates or
the entity controls companies that operate at least twenty-five other stores
of similar nature and under the same trade name as Tenant.
16.07. NO WAIVER. Neither the consent by Landlord to any assignment,
transfer, or sublease to any party, nor the collection or acceptance of rent
from any third party shall be construed as a waiver or release of Tenant from
any covenant or obligation under this Lease. Any consent by Landlord to any
transfer shall not operate as a waiver of any of Tenant's responsibilities in
the future or the requirement to obtain Landlord's consent to any subsequent
transfer.
ARTICLE 17. SUBORDINATION; FINANCING; TRANSFERS
17.01. SUBORDINATION. Tenant agrees that this Lease is subordinate to
any ground leases, mortgages or deeds of trust that are now or may hereafter
be placed upon the Premises, and to any and all advances, interest,
easements, right of ways or other agreement benefitting the Premises and
transfers pursuant to Landlord's exercise of its right(s) to purchase under
any ground lease or agreement to purchase, and renewals, replacements and
extensions of any of the foregoing (collectively, "Encumbrances"). Tenant
agrees that upon Landlord's request, or the request of any ground lessor,
mortgagee, trustee, transferee or beneficiary (each of whom shall be referred
to in this article as a "Mortgagee"), Tenant shall execute whatever
instruments may be required to carry out the intent of this article.
17.02. ATTORNMENT. If and so long as any Encumbrance is effective, then
at the Mortgagee's option: (a) This Lease and Tenant's tenancy will continue
in full force and effect notwithstanding: (1) the occurrence of an event of
default under the Encumbrance; (2) any failure by Landlord to comply with any
provision of this Lease; (3) any defense, counterclaim or set-off to which
Tenant might be entitled against Landlord; (4) any delay or omission by the
Mortgagee in exercising, or any waiver by the Mortgagee of any right or
remedy under the Encumbrance or the note that it secures ("Note"); (5) any
amendment of or supplement to the Note or the Encumbrance that does not

purchaser and recognize the Mortgagee or purchaser as its Landlord under this
Lease and will promptly execute upon request of the Mortgagee or purchaser an
agreement of attornment that is in recordable form.
17.03. FINANCING REQUIREMENTS. If any construction lender, land lessor, or
permanent lender for the Shopping Center requires, as a condition to
financing, modifications to this Lease that do not materially alter the
approved working plans, do not increase the Rent to be paid under this Lease,
and do not materially increase Tenant's obligations or materially decrease
Tenant's
28
rights under this Lease, Landlord may submit to Tenant a written amendment
with the required modifications. Tenant shall execute the amendment and
return it within ten (10) days after Landlord has submitted the amendment. If
Tenant fails to execute and return the amendment within the prescribed time,
Landlord may elect either (a) to execute the amendment in Tenant's name and
on Tenant's behalf, Tenant herein granting to Landlord an irrevocable
power-of-attorney to do so, or (b) declare a Default, in which case, Landlord
shall have all of the rights set forth in Section 13.02.
17.04. TRANSFER OF LANDLORD'S INTEREST. Landlord may transfer its interest
in the Premises or the Shopping Center or this Lease, including by sale or

In the event of Landlord Transfer, Landlord shall be automatically relieved
of any of its obligations under the Lease. Upon delivery to a successor
Landlord of any funds then in Landlord's possession in which Tenant has an
interest, Landlord shall be released of all of its obligations with respect
to the funds. A Landlord Transfer shall not release Tenant of its obligations
under the Lease, and Tenant agrees to attorn to Landlord's transferee upon
written notice of a Landlord Transfer.
17.05. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Tenant shall, without charge and at any time
within ten (10) days after a request by Landlord execute and deliver to
Landlord a written estoppel certificate in reasonable form certifying to
Landlord or any other person(s) designated by Landlord: (a) that the Premises
have been delivered to Tenant in the condition required by this Lease and
that Tenant is in possession of the Premises and is currently paying Rent in
full; (b) that the Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or if
there have been modifications, that the Lease is in full force and effect as
modified and setting forth the modifications; (c) whether or not there are
then existing any set-offs or defenses against the enforcement of any right
or remedy of Landlord, or of any duty or obligation of Tenant under the
Lease, and if so, describing the setoffs or defenses; (d) the dates, if any,
any Rent has been paid in advance; (e) that Tenant has no knowledge of any
uncured defaults on the part of Landlord under this Lease, or if Tenant knows
of any event, a description of the event; (f) that Tenant has no knowledge of
any event that authorized Tenant to terminate this Lease (or if Tenant has
any knowledge, specifying the event in detail); (g) the current and future
schedule of Rent; (h) the expiration date of the Term and of any Option Term;
and (i) any other matters that Landlord or such other person(s) may require
to be confirmed. Tenant's failure to respond within the ten (10) day period
prescribed in this section shall constitute Tenant's irrevocable acceptance
and approval of the facts set forth in any statement delivered by Landlord to
Tenant pursuant to this section and shall thereafter be estopped from
asserting any claims contrary to the statements contained in the estoppel
certificate.
ARTICLE 18. DELAYS
If either party is delayed or prevented from performing any of their
respective obligations because of acts of nature, casualty, strikes,
lockouts, labor troubles, inability to procure materials, failure of power,
governmental restrictions or reasons of a like nature not the fault of the
party delayed in performing the obligation, and provided that the party
promptly notifies the other, then the period of delay shall be added to the
time provided for the performance of the obligation, and the defaulting party
shall not be liable for losses or damages caused by the delay. However, the
provisions of this article shall not affect Tenant's obligation to pay Rent,
notwithstanding that the performance of Tenant's Work may be delayed, or
affect any obligation of Landlord or Tenant that can be satisfied by the
payment of money, and shall not excuse Tenant from its obligation to
continuously operate its business within the Premises in accordance with the
provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.02.
ARTICLE 19. END OF TERM
19.01. RETURN OF PREMISES. Upon the Expiration Date or sooner termination of
the Term, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord free of Tenant's
inventory, fixtures and storefront sign(s), broom-clean and in good
condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Tenant shall turn over all keys
to the Premises and inform Landlord of all combinations of locks, safes and
vaults, if any, in the Premises. Termination of this Lease for any reason
shall not relieve Tenant from any obligation arising under this section, or
from any obligation or damages arising out of any breach by Tenant, and
Landlord's right to enforce such obligations and recover damages shall
survive termination. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.05, Tenant shall
promptly remove all of its personal property, including its storefront
sign(s), repair all damage to the Premises caused by the removal of Tenant's
property and restore the Premises to the condition it was in prior to the
installation of the property removed. Any personal property of Tenant not
removed within ten (10) days following the expiration or earlier termination
of this Lease shall be considered abandoned by Tenant and, at Landlord's
option, becomes Landlord's property and may be retained or, at Tenant's
expense, disposed of by Landlord. Tenant's obligation to observe or perform
the covenants in this section shall survive the termination of this Lease.
29
19.02. HOLDING OVER. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after
the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall be considered to be
occupying the Premises at double the Rent in effect during the last Lease
Year of the Term and otherwise subject to all of the terms and conditions of
this Lease. At Landlord's option, Landlord may treat the Tenant's holdover
occupancy as a month-to-month Tenancy, or Landlord may exercise any other
remedies it has under this Lease or at law or in equity, including
instituting an action for wrongfully holding over and recovery of all damages
resulting from the holdover, including damages rounded upon the rights of any
subsequent tenant or other occupant.
ARTICLE 20. COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT
Landlord covenants that so long as Tenant pays Rent in full and performs
all of its obligations under this Lease, Tenant hall hold and enjoy the
Premises without any interruption or disturbance from Landlord or anyone
lawfully or equitably claiming through or under Landlord, subject to the
terms of this Lease and any mortgage or deed of trust to which this Lease
shall be subordinate.

Tenant in the event of a breach by Landlord or its agents of any of
Landlord's obligations under this Lease.

arising by reason of a breach by the party of this representation and
warranty.

under this Lease may be a percentage of Tenant's Gross Sales, and
notwithstanding anything else to the contrary, Landlord shall not be
considered a partner of or joint venturer with Tenant. The parties agree,
however, that Percentage Rent is intended to be a material part of the Rent
to which Landlord is entitled. Neither Landlord nor Tenant makes any
representation as to the amount of Gross Sales Tenant may be expected, or
expects, to earn from the Premises.

communication concerning any check for payment of rent or any other amounts
owed to Landlord will be considered effective or evidence an accord and
satisfaction. Landlord may accept any check or payment and apply the check or

without any offset or deduction of any kind or nature whatsoever, unless
otherwise specifically permitted.

regulations established by Landlord for the Shopping Center. Landlord

shall pay the reasonable and necessary costs of moving Tenant's inventory and
trade fixtures to the New Premises. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts not
to relocate Tenant between October l and December 31 of any year and to
ensure that Tenant's downtime is minimized. To the extent practical, Landlord
shall maintain signage at the Premises indicating the location of the New
Premises for no more than thirty (30) days after Tenant vacates the Premises
or until the Premises is delivered to a subsequent tenant, whichever is
sooner. If Tenant refuses to relocate to the New Premises, Landlord may
terminate this Lease upon written notice to Tenant.
31

that has not already been constructed as of the date of execution of this
Lease, if Landlord is unable to obtain a firm commitment for a loan sufficient
to complete construction of the Shopping Center within two years after the date
of this Lease, or if construction of the Shopping Center has not begun before
that date, Landlord may terminate this Lease at any time after that date upon
written notice to Tenant.
21.16. LIEN ON FIXTURES. In addition to any available statutory lien, Landlord
shall have an express lien upon Tenant's trade fixtures, inventory, stock, and
other properly placed at any time in the Premises to secure the complete
performance of all of the terms of the Lease including the payment of Rent.

authorized to transact business and in good standing in the State.

another agreement Tenant has with a third party.
(c) Tenant is aware of no fact or condition that would prevent the
enforceability of this Lease once fully executed.
21.19 REIT QUALIFICATIONS. Minimum Rent and any other terms of rent paid
to Landlord under this Lease shall qualify as "rents from real property" as
defined in Internal Revenue Code ("Code') Section 856(c) and Treasury
Regulation ("Regulation") Section 1.856-4. Should the Code or Regulation be
amended so that any rent payable to landlord under this Lease no longer
qualifies as "rents from real property", then the rent shall be adjusted so
that it will qualify as "rents from real property". Any adjustments required
pursuant to this section shall not operate to change the amount of rent Tenant
is obligated to pay. Tenant agrees to enter into any amendment to this Lease
necessary to effectuate this section.

(a) This Lease may be executed in several counterparts, and the
counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

particular action shall consider to permit or require, as

and
(2) Any provision that requires any party not to take any
particular action shall be considered to require the party
to prevent the action to be taken by any person or by
operation of law.

be recorded without the express written consent of Landlord.
21.22. EFFECTIVE DATE. Prior to the Effective Date, this Lease shall not be
legally binding on either Landlord or Tenant, and the submission of this Lease
by Landlord to Tenant prior to the Effective Date for examination or
