AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties agree as follows:
1. PURCHASE AND SALE; PURCHASE PRICE; TERMS OF PAYMENT.
1.1 PURCHASE AND SALE. Seller agrees to sell and
Purchaser agrees to purchase the Properties on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement and further agree that
Purchaser may purchase all, none, or some, but not less than
three of the Properties.
1.2 PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price which Purchaser
agrees to pay for each Property is described on Exhibit A hereto
(the "Purchase Price(s)"):
1.3 TERMS OF PAYMENT. The Purchase Price shall be
payable as follows:
1.3.1 XXXXXXX MONEY DEPOSIT. Upon execution of
this document by both parties and receipt of a Seller-signed
copy by Purchaser, $20,000 in immediately available funds shall
be deposited for each property (a total of $140,000) with Escrow
Agent as an xxxxxxx money deposit ("Xxxxxxx Money Deposit").
Upon receipt of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, Escrow Agent shall
immediately deposit it in a federally insured account and open
an escrow account for the transactions contemplated hereby. Any
interest earned on escrowed funds shall remain the property of,
and be paid to, Purchaser.
1.3.2 CLOSING PAYMENT. An amount equal to the
difference between the Purchase Price and the Xxxxxxx Money
Deposit shall be paid by Purchaser in immediately available
funds at Closing (the "Closing Payment").
2. CLOSING. The closing of this transaction ("Closing") shall
occur, at the offices of Escrow Agent located at Lawyers Title
Insurance Company ("Title Company"), 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx
Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, attention Xxxxx Xxxxxx,
unless another location is mutually agreed to by the parties, on
the date twenty (20) business days following the expiration of
the Properties Review Period ("Closing Date"). Either party may

Lessee /s/ JR Lessor /s/ RPJ
Children's World Purchase Agreement
5/20/99
3. DEED. At the Closing, Seller shall convey title to the
Properties to Purchaser by form of Special Warranty Deed
customarily used in the County where the Properties are located
("Deed"), subject only to those specific matters approved by
Purchaser as herein provided in connection with the title
insurance policy to be issued by Lawyers Title Insurance
Corporation (the "Title Insurer").
4. TITLE AND TITLE INSURANCE.
4.1 TITLE REPORT. Within twenty (20) days from each
Opening Date, Escrow Agent shall deliver a current Commitment for
Title Insurance or a Preliminary Title Report ("Title Report") on
the Properties from Title Insurer (as defined below) to both
Purchaser and Seller. Such Title Report shall show the status of
title to the Properties as of the date of the Title Report and
shall be accompanied by legible copies of all title exceptions
documents referred to in the Title Report.
4.2 TITLE REVIEW PERIOD. With respect to each Property
separately, Purchaser shall have a period of time beginning upon
Purchaser's receipt of the Title Report and copies of all
documents referred to therein and ending at 5:00 p.m., Central
Standard time, fifteen (15) business days thereafter (the "Title
Review Period"), to review the Title Report and to give Seller
and Escrow Agent notice of any title exceptions which are
unacceptable to Purchaser. If Purchaser gives notice of
dissatisfaction as to any exception to title as shown in the
Title Report, or any amendment thereto, Seller may, but shall not
be obligated to, attempt to eliminate the disapproved exception
from the Title Report or any amendment thereto prior to the
Closing Date. If Seller does not eliminate the disapproved
exception prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser's sole and
exclusive remedies shall be to either cancel this Agreement with
respect to such Property only by giving Seller and Escrow Agent
written notice of cancellation, or to close such transaction with
respect to such Property only subject to such previously
disapproved exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller
notifies Purchaser in writing of its election not to eliminate a
disapproved exception to title, Purchaser shall have until the
earlier of the Closing Date or five (5) business days after
receiving Seller's notice of making its election in writing as
described above to either cancel this transaction or proceed to
Closing with respect to such Property only. Purchaser's failure
to make a timely election shall be deemed its election to close
this transaction with respect to such Property only, taking title
subject to any previously disapproved title exception. With
respect to any amendments or updates to the Title Report or
previous amendments or updates thereto, the same provisions and
procedures described above shall apply with respect to
Purchaser's review and approval of, and Seller's option to
eliminate, disapproved exceptions, except that Purchaser shall
have five (5) business days after its receipt of the amendment or
update to give its notice of dissatisfaction of any new title
exception. Purchaser shall have the right to cancel this
Agreement for up to four (4) Properties. Therefore, Purchaser
must approve the title documents for at least three (3)
Properties or lose the right to purchase any of the Properties.
It is the parties' intent that Purchaser must purchase at least
three (3) Properties for any sale to occur. Once Purchaser has
eliminated five (5) Properties from purchase based upon any right
in this Agreement to do so, then Seller shall have the option to
terminate this Agreement.
4.3 APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL OF STATUS OF TITLE.
Purchaser's failure to approve or disapprove any exception during
the Title Review Period as to a specific Property shall be deemed
an approval of title as described in the Title Report and a
waiver of Purchaser's right to cancel this Agreement according to
this Article. Upon any cancellation of this Agreement in full in
accordance with this Article, Escrow Agent shall, without further
instruction from either party, return the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit
to Purchaser and this Agreement and the escrow shall terminate.
Upon any cancellation of this
Lessee /s/ JR Lessor /s/ RPJ
Children's World Purchase Agreement
5/20/99
Agreement in part, Escrow Agent shall return to Purchaser, along
with a pro-rata share of any interest earned thereon, a pro-rata
share of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit.
4.4 OWNER'S TITLE POLICY. Provided Purchaser approves,
or is deemed to have approved, the status of title to each of the
Properties during the Title Review Period, Seller shall cause
Escrow Agent to provide Purchaser with a standard coverage
owner's policy of title insurance (the "Owner's Title Policy") at
the Closing or as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible. The
Owner's Title Policy shall be issued by the Title Insurer in the
full amount of the Purchase Price, be effective as of the Closing
Date, and shall insure Purchaser that fee simple title to the
Properties is vested in Purchaser, subject only (i) to the
exceptions to title approved by Purchaser as provided for in
ARTICLES 4.2 AND 4.3 of this Agreement (ii) any exceptions
regarding survey matters; and (iii) any other matter approved in
writing by Purchaser or resulting from the acts of Purchaser or
Purchaser's agents. The cost of any endorsement to the Owner's
Title Policy shall be paid in by Purchaser.
5. FEASIBILITY CONDITION.
5.1 PROPERTIES REVIEW PERIOD. During the period of time
beginning upon the date that Seller has met its obligations as
defined in ARTICLE 5.4 HEREOF, and ending at 5:00 PM Central
Standard time sixty (60) business days thereafter ("Properties
Review Period"), Purchaser shall have the right to enter upon the
Properties, (only if accompanied by Seller's representative or
agent) for the purpose of further examination and investigation
of the Properties. Purchaser, its representatives and agents
shall have the right during this Properties Review Period to
conduct all testing and examinations it deems necessary to
determine the desirability of purchasing the Properties.
Purchaser shall have the right during this Properties Review
Period to cancel this Agreement in whole or in part if Purchaser
is dissatisfied, in its sole and absolute discretion, with the
results of its examination of the Properties or any documentation
related thereto, or for any other reason. If this Agreement is
canceled with respect to one or more of the Properties, but not
all of them, then, upon written notice by Purchaser to the Escrow
Agent, a pro-rata portion of the xxxxxxx money deposit, along
with any interest earned or accrued thereon, shall be immediately
paid by the Escrow Agent to the Purchaser and this Agreement and
the Escrow Account shall remain in effect for the balance of any
remaining, non-canceled, Properties.
5.2 WHEN XXXXXXX MONEY BECOMES NON-REFUNDABLE. On or
before expiration of the Properties Review Period, Purchaser
shall give written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent of its
election to either cancel this Agreement or to proceed to close
the transaction upon the terms and conditions herein. If
Purchaser elects to cancel this Agreement in accordance with this
Article, Escrow Agent shall, without further instruction from
either party, return the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit to Purchaser and
the escrow shall terminate. If Purchaser elects to proceed to
close this transaction, the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall become
nonrefundable to Purchaser, except if Seller fails to perform
when due any act required of it by this Agreement. Purchaser's
failure to give written notice of its election to either cancel
or proceed to close this transaction shall be deemed a waiver of
its election to cancel this Agreement.
5.3 INDEMNIFICATION. All entries on, and inspections or
studies of, the Properties shall be at the expense of Purchaser
and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and
against any and all liens, claims, demands, injuries, damages,
losses, costs, expenses (including all reasonable attorney fees),
or liability incurred by or asserted against the Seller or any of
the Properties as a result of any of those entries, inspections
or studies, which Purchaser's indemnification shall survive the
Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

Children's World Purchase Agreement
5/20/99
5.4 Seller has already provided to Purchaser (and shall
transfer as a part of the purchase herein contemplated), copies
of any final existing plans, preliminary or as-built surveys,
Phase I or other environmental and engineering and soils reports,
and similar or relevant documentation in the possession of the
Seller (as specified in letter from Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx to Mr. Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx dated April 30, 1999) (collectively, the "Properties
Documents"). The sixty (60) day Properties Review Period shall
expire sixty (60) days from the date of Seller's execution of
this Agreement.
5.5 NONINTERFERENCE WITH BUSINESS. The Properties are
presently being used as daycare centers. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary, Purchaser may not conduct any of its tests or
examinations during normal business hours except with the prior
written permission of Seller which may be arbitrarily withheld by
Seller. No chemicals or hazardous substances shall be used in any
testing or examination except with the prior written permission
of Seller. No tools or materials shall be left or stored in or
around the Properties during the Properties Review Period.
Purchaser agrees to indemnify Seller and hold Seller harmless
from the cost, liability, expense or injury to person or property
arising out of any violation of this Paragraph 5.5 including but
not limited to attorney fees.
5.6 FINANCING CONDITIONS AND OBLIGATIONS. There shall be no
financing contingency connected with this Agreement. If Purchaser
obtains financing to purchase the Properties, then the total
Purchase Price shall be increased by Twenty-five Thousand and
No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00). This increase is due to the extra
time, money, effort, and problems that Seller experiences and may
experience due to a financed sale.
6. ESCROW.
6.1 ESTABLISHMENT OF ESCROW. An escrow for this transaction
shall be established with Escrow Agent and Escrow Agent is hereby
employed by the parties to handle the escrow. This Agreement
shall constitute escrow instructions and an original or fully
executed copy shall be deposited with Escrow Agent for this
purpose. Should Escrow Agent require the execution of its
standard form printed escrow instructions, Purchaser and Seller
agree to execute the same; however, such instructions shall be
construed as applying only to Escrow Agent's employment, and if
there are conflicts between the terms of this Agreement and the
terms of the printed escrow instructions, the terms of this
Agreement shall control.
6.2 CANCELLATION OF ESCROW. If the escrow fails to close
because of Seller's default, Seller shall be liable for all
customary escrow cancellation charges. If the escrow fails to
close because of Purchaser's default, Purchaser shall be liable

fails to close for any other reason, Seller and Purchaser shall
each be liable for one-half (1/2) of all customary escrow
cancellation charges.
6.3 LEASE. The parties hereby agree upon the form of
the Lease and memorandum of lease as attached as Exhibit B
hereto. At closing, duplicate copies of such form lease will be
signed for each Property purchased, subject only to changes
necessary for each lease to be legally binding in the state in
which the Property is located. Upon Closing, the Escrow Agent
shall insert into the Lease, and the parties hereby give the

Date which shall be the Closing Date. If closing does not occur
for any reason whatsoever, the Escrow Agent shall destroy the

any Parcel not purchased by AEI.
7.2 PRORATIONS. Real estate taxes, personal property

delivered to Purchaser upon Closing, subject to a lease executed

salesperson in connection with this transaction. If any person
shall assert a claim to a finder's fee, brokerage commission, or
any other compensation on account of alleged employment as a
finder or broker or performance of services as a finder or broker
in connection with this transaction, the party under whom the
finder or broker is claiming shall indemnify and hold the other
party harmless from and against any such claim and all costs,
expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with such claim
or any action or proceeding brought on such claim, including, but
not limited to, counsel and witness fees and court costs in
defending against such claim. This indemnity shall survive the
Closing or cancellation and termination of this Agreement and the
escrow.
10. REMEDIES.
10.1 SELLER'S REMEDIES. If Purchaser fails to perform as
required by this Agreement, in the time and manner set forth in
this Agreement, and provided Seller is not then in default,
Seller, as Seller's sole and exclusive remedy, may cancel this
Agreement and the escrow, such cancellation to be effective
immediately upon Seller giving written notice of cancellation to
Purchaser and Escrow Agent. Upon such cancellation, Seller shall
be entitled to, and Escrow Agent shall deliver to Seller, the
Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, as consideration for acceptance of this
Agreement, for taking the Properties off the market, and as the
parties' best estimate of Seller's damages resulting from
Purchaser's default, but not as a penalty. Subject to 16.5
hereof, the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit released to Seller upon such
cancellation shall be retained by Seller as its sole and
exclusive remedy against Purchaser in all respects. Any accrued
interest shall be paid to Purchaser.
10.2 PURCHASER'S REMEDIES. Only if Seller fails to close
any transaction(s) as required by this Agreement, in the time and
manner set forth in this Agreement, and provided Purchaser is not
in default, Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may
cancel this Agreement and the Escrow, such cancellation to be
effective immediately upon Purchaser giving written notice of
cancellation to Seller and Escrow Agent. Upon such cancellation,
Purchaser shall be entitled to, and Escrow Agent shall deliver to
Purchaser, the Xxxxxxx
Lessee /s/ JR Lessor /s/ RPJ
Children's World Purchase Agreement
5/20/99
Money Deposit and any interest earned thereon, and Seller shall
pay to Purchaser $20,000 per Property as to any Property not
closed due to Seller's failure to Close as required by this
Agreement as consideration for entering into this Agreement and
as the parties' best estimate of Purchaser's damages resulting
from Seller's default, but not as a penalty. Subject to 16.5
hereof, the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit and any interest earned thereon
released to Purchaser and the $20,000 shall be retained by
Purchaser as its sole and exclusive remedy against Seller in all
respects.
10.3 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: After endeavoring to estimate what
the actual loss would be in the event of a default and as a
material inducement to execution hereof, the parties agree that
it would be impractical and extremely difficult to fix actual
damages in case of a default. The amount of the Xxxxxxx Money
Deposited is a reasonable estimate of Seller's damages and Seller
shall retain the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit as stated above, and
Purchaser shall be entitled to payment from Seller of $20,000 per
Property as set forth in Article 10.2 above, as their sole remedy
against each other in case of default. The parties shall also be
entitled to attorney fees pursuant to 16.5.

copy to both Seller and Purchaser.

shall be deemed to represent and warrants) as follows:

Children's World Purchase Agreement

12.6 NO MECHANICS LIENS. No work has been performed or is in
progress at, and no materials have been furnished to, the
Properties or any portion thereof, which might give rise to

agrees to indemnify Purchaser from and against any and all claims
of third parties, and from all mechanics' liens in connection
with the Properties whose claim of lien arises from labor or
material provided to the Properties prior to Closing or pursuant
to a contract entered into with Seller prior to Closing,
including all costs and attorneys' fees.
12.7 NON-FOREIGN AFFIDAVIT. Seller is not, and as of the
Closing Date will not be, a "foreign person" within the meaning
of Internal Revenue Code Section 1445, and Seller shall deliver

Affidavit").
13. AS IS. Except for the express representations and
warranties contained in this Article 12, Seller has made no
representations or warranties of any kind, and will at the
Closing make no representations or warranties of any kind, in

and the covenants and warranties to be contained in the Deed,

shall be automatically canceled, the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit and
any interest earned thereon shall be returned to Purchaser, and
thereupon neither party shall, except as otherwise provided

which event Escrow Agent shall return to Purchaser its Xxxxxxx
Money Deposit, and any interest earned thereon, as to such
Property [i.e., twenty thousand dollars ($20.000) plus interest]
and thereupon neither party shall have any further liability or
obligation to each other (except as otherwise stated herein) as
to such Property, or Purchaser may accept title subject to the
taking, in which event after the Closing the proceeds of the
award or payment shall be assigned by Seller to Purchaser and any
money theretofore received by Seller in connection with such
taking shall be paid over to Purchaser. In the event any Property
shall be damaged by fire or other casualty prior to the time of
Closing in an amount of more than ten percent (10%) of the total
Purchase Price of said Property, either party shall have the
option to terminate this Agreement as to such Property. Should
the parties elect to carry out this Agreement regarding such
Property despite such damage, Purchaser shall be entitled to a
credit for the insurance proceeds resulting from such damage to
the Property not exceeding, however, the total Purchase Price of
said property. In all other regards, the risk of loss or damage
to the Property until the Closing shall be borne by Seller.

ARTICLE 5. INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY
(A) Lessee shall, throughout the Term or Renewal Terms, if
any, of this Lease, at its own cost and expense, procure and
maintain insurance which covers the Leased Premises and
improvements against fire, wind, and storm damage (including
flood insurance if the Leased Premises is in a federally
designated flood prone area) and such other risks as may be
included in the broadest form of extended coverage insurance as
may, from time to time, be available in amounts sufficient to
prevent Lessor or Lessee from becoming a co-insurer within the
terms of the applicable policies. In any event, the insurance
coverage shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the
then insurable value. Additionally, replacement cost
endorsements, vandalism endorsement, malicious mischief
endorsement, waiver of subrogation endorsement, waiver of co-
insurance endorsement (if available), shall be obtained.

Children's World Purchase Agreement

for bodily injury and $l00,000 for property damage, or such
additional amounts subject to commercially reasonable
deductibles, as Lessor shall reasonably require from time to
time, and pollution liability or environmental impact coverage
with limits in amounts reasonably acceptable to Lessor.
(C) Lessee agrees to notify Lessor in writing if Lessee is
unable to procure all or some part of the aforesaid insurance. In
the event Lessee fails to provide all insurance required under
this Lease, Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to procure such insurance on Lessee's behalf. Lessee will then,
within ten (10) business days from receiving written notice, pay
Lessor the amount of the premiums due or paid, together with
interest thereon at the current prime rate plus two percent,
which amount shall be considered rent payable by Lessee in
addition to the Rental defined at Article 4 hereof.
(D) All policies of insurance provided for or contemplated
by this Article shall name Lessor and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, and
Lessee and any mortgagee as insureds or additional named insured
and loss payee, as their respective interests may appear, and
shall provide that the policies cannot be canceled, changed,
terminated, or modified in a manner that materially affects the
insurance required hereunder without thirty (30) days written
notice to the parties. All insurance companies must have an A.M.
Best rating of "Good" or better. Lessee has provided Lessor with
a legible copy of the applicable insurance certificate(s) and
will provide Lessor with copies of any changes thereto and shall
provide evidence no less than thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration thereof of the renewal thereof and the renewal and
existence of requisite public liability insurance as by current
Certificates of Insurance.
(E) Lessee shall defend, indemnify, and hold Lessor
harmless against any and all claims, damages, and lawsuits
arising after the Occupancy Date of this Lease and any orders,
decrees or judgments which may be entered therein, brought for
damages or alleged damages resulting from any injury to person or
property or from loss of life sustained in or about the Leased
Premises, and Lessee agrees to save Lessor harmless from, and
indemnify Lessor against, any and all injury, loss, or damage, of
whatever nature, to any person or property caused by, or
resulting from any act, omission, or negligence of Lessee or any
employee or agent of Lessee. In addition, Lessee hereby releases
Lessor from any and all liability for any loss or damage caused
by fire or any of the extended coverage casualties, even if such
fire or other casualty shall be brought about by the negligence
(but not the gross negligence or intentional or willful
misconduct or malice) of Lessor.
(F) Lessor hereby waives any and all rights that it may
have to recover from Lessee damages for any loss occurring to the
Leased Premises by reason of any act or omission of Lessee;
provided, however, that this waiver is limited to those losses
for which Lessor is compensated by its insurers. Lessee hereby
waives any and all right that it may have to recover from Lessor
damages for any loss occurring to the Leased Premises by reason
of any act or omission of Lessor; provided, however, that this
waiver is limited to those losses for which Lessee is compensated
by its insurers.

Children's World Purchase Agreement

ARTICLE 6. TAXES, ASSESSMENTS AND UTILITIES
(A) Lessee shall be liable, and agrees to pay the charges
for, all public utility services rendered or furnished to the
Leased Premises, including heat, water, gas, electricity, sewer,
sewage treatment facilities and the like, all personal property
taxes, real estate taxes, special assessments, and municipal or
government charges, general, ordinary and extraordinary, of every
kind and nature whatsoever, which may be levied, imposed, or
assessed against the Leased Premises, or upon any improvements
thereon, at any time after the Occupancy Date of this Lease and
prior to the expiration of the term hereof, or any Renewal Term.
(B) Lessee shall pay all real estate taxes, assessments
for public improvements or benefits, and other governmental
impositions, duties, and charges of every kind and nature
whatsoever which shall or may, during the term of this Lease, be
charged, laid, levied, assessed, or imposed upon, or become a
lien or liens upon the Leased Premises or any part thereof or
upon the rents payable hereunder, except for taxes based solely
upon the income of Lessor. Such payments shall be considered as
rent paid by Lessee in addition to the Rent defined at Article 4
hereof. Lessee shall be deemed to have complied with the
foregoing covenant if payment is permitted without penalty or
interest, or before the same shall become a lien upon the Leased
Premises. If by law any real estate taxes, assessments for public
improvements or benefits, or other governmental impositions,
duties, and charges of every kind and nature whatsoever may at
the option of the taxpayer be paid in installments (whether or
not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance), Lessee may
exercise the option to pay the same in installments and shall pay
such installments as they become due during the term of this
Lease. Lessee shall not be liable for installments which come due
after the termination date of the Lease. If due to a change in
the method of taxation, a franchise tax, rental tax, or income or
profit tax shall be levied against Lessor in substitution for or
in lieu of any tax which would otherwise constitute a real estate
tax, such tax shall be deemed a real estate tax for the purposes
herein and shall be paid by Lessee.
(C) All real estate taxes, assessments for public
improvements or benefits, water rates and charges, sewer rents,
and other governmental impositions, duties, and charges which
shall become payable for the first and last tax years of the term
hereof shall be apportioned pro rata between Lessor and Lessee in
accordance with the respective number of months during which each
party shall be in possession of the Leased Premises in said
respective tax years. For the purposes of this provision, all
personal property taxes, real estate taxes and special
assessments shall be deemed to have been assessed in the year
that the first payment or any installment thereof is due.
(D) Lessee shall have the right to contest or review by
legal proceedings or in such other manner as may be legal (which,
if instituted, shall be conducted solely at Lessee's own expense)
any tax, assessment for public improvements or benefits, or other
governmental imposition aforementioned, at any time until the
property is subject to levy or execution. All such proceedings
shall be begun as soon as reasonably possible after the
imposition or assessment of any contested items and shall be
prosecuted to final adjudication with reasonable dispatch. In the
event of any reduction, cancellation, or discharge, Lessee shall
pay the amount that shall be finally levied or assessed against
the Leased Premises or adjudicated to be due and payable, and, if
there shall be any refund payable by the governmental authority
with respect thereto, Lessee shall be entitled to receive and
retain the same, subject, however, to apportionment as provided
during the first and last years of the term of this Lease.
(E) Lessor, within sixty (60) days after notice to Lessee
if Lessee fails to commence such proceedings, may, but shall not
be obligated to, contest or review by legal proceedings, or in
such other manner as may be legal, and at Lessor's own expense,
any tax, assessments for public
Lessee /s/ JR Lessor /s/ RPJ
Children's World Purchase Agreement
5/20/99
improvements and benefits, or other governmental imposition
aforementioned, which shall not be contested or reviewed, as
aforesaid, by Lessee, and unless Lessee shall promptly join with
Lessor in such contest or review, Lessor shall be entitled to
receive and retain any refund payable by the governmental
authority with respect thereto.
(F) Lessor shall not be required to join in any proceeding
referred to in this Article, unless in Lessee's reasonable
opinion, the provisions of any law, rule, or regulation at the
time in effect shall require that such a proceeding be brought by
and/or in the name of Lessor, in which event Lessor shall upon
written request, join in such proceedings or permit the same to
be brought in its name.
ARTICLE 7. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
A. So long as Lessee shall remain fully liable for the
performance of all obligations of any lessee under this Lease,
and if Lessee provides notice and true and complete copies of all
assignments or sublet agreements to Lessor, then Lessee may
assign or sublet this Lease or the Premises without the prior
permission of Lessor.
Lessee shall, prior to the effective date thereof deliver to
Lessor executed counterparts of any such agreement and of all
ancillary agreements with the proposed assignee or sublessee, as
applicable. Lessor shall have the right to require all rental
payable to Lessee under any such subletting or assignment to be
payable to Lessor.
ARTICLE 8. REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
(A) Lessee covenants and agrees to keep and maintain in
good order, condition and repair the interior and exterior of the
Leased Premises during the term of the Lease, and further agrees
that Lessor shall be under no obligation to make any repairs or
perform any maintenance to the Leased Premises. Lessee covenants
and agrees that it shall be responsible for all repairs,
alterations, replacements, or maintenance of, including but
without limitation, interior and exterior portions of all doors,
door checks and operators, windows, plate glass, plumbing, water
and sewage facilities, fixtures, electrical equipment, interior
walls, ceilings, signs, interior building appliances and similar
equipment, heating and air conditioning equipment, and further
agrees to be replace any of said equipment when necessary. Lessee
further agrees to be responsible for, at its own expense, snow
removal, lawn maintenance, landscaping, maintenance of the
parking lot (including parking lines, seal coating, and blacktop
surfacing), and other similar items.
(B) If after written notice and a 90 day cure period
(except in the event of emergencies), Lessee refuses or neglects
to commence or complete repairs promptly and adequately, Lessor
may cause such repairs to be made, but shall not be required to
do so, and Lessee shall pay the cost thereof to Lessor upon
demand. It is understood that Lessee shall pay all expenses and
maintenance and repair during the term of this Lease. If Lessee
is not then in default hereunder, Lessee shall have the right to
make repairs and improvements to the Leased Premises without the
consent of Lessor if such repairs and improvements do not exceed
$50,000 provided such repairs or improvements do not affect the
structural integrity of the Leased Premises. Any repairs or
improvements in excess of $50,000 or affecting the structural
integrity of the Leased Premises may be done only with the prior
written consent of Lessor, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld. All alterations and additions to the Leased Premises
shall be made in accordance with all applicable laws and shall
remain for the benefit of Lessor. Lessee further agrees, in the
event of making such alterations as herein provided, to indemnify
and save harmless Lessor from all expense, liens, claims or
damages to either persons or property or the Leased Premises
arising out of or resulting from the undertaking or making of
said repairs, improvements,
Lessee /s/ JR Lessor /s/ RPJ
Children's World Purchase Agreement
5/20/99
alterations or additions, or Lessee's failure to make said
repairs, improvements, alterations or additions.
ARTICLE 9. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS
Lessee will materially comply with all statutes, ordinances,
rules, orders, regulations and requirements of all federal,
state, city and local governments, and with all rules, orders
and regulations of the applicable Board of Fire Underwriters
which affect the use of the improvements. Lessee will materially
comply with all easements, restrictions, and covenants of record
against or affecting the Leased Premises required for operation
of the Leased Premises in accordance with Article 14 hereof.
ARTICLE 10. SIGNS
Lessee shall have the right to install and maintain a sign
or signs advertising Lessee's business, provided that the signs
conform to law, and further provided that the sign or signs
conform specifically to the written requirements of the
appropriate governmental authorities.
ARTICLE 11. SUBORDINATION
(A) Lessor reserves the right and privilege to subject and
subordinate this Lease at all times to the lien of any mortgage
or mortgages now or hereafter placed upon Lessor's interest in
the Leased Premises and on the land and buildings of which said
premises are a part, or upon any buildings hereafter placed upon
the land of which the Leased Premises are a part, and to any and
all advances to be made under such mortgages, and all renewals,
modifications, extensions, consolidations, and replacements
thereof, provided such a mortgagee shall execute a reasonably
appropriate subordination, attornment and non-disturbance
agreement (which shall include the right to quiet enjoyment).
(B) Lessee covenants and agrees to execute and deliver,
upon demand, such further reasonable instrument or instruments
subordinating this Lease on the foregoing basis to the lien of
any such mortgage or mortgages as shall be desired by Lessor and
any mortgages or proposed mortgagees.
ARTICLE 12. CONDEMNATION OR EMINENT DOMAIN
(A) If the whole of the Leased Premises are taken by any
public authority under the power of eminent domain, or by private
purchase in lieu thereof, then this Lease shall automatically
terminate upon the date possession is surrendered, and Rent shall
be paid up to that day. If any part of the Leased Premises shall
be taken so as to reduce the licensed capacity of the Premises as
a daycare facility by more than 10%, then Lessee shall have the
right to terminate this Lease on thirty (30) days notice to
Lessor if given within ninety (90) days after the date of such
taking. In the event that this Lease shall terminate or be
terminated in accordance with this section, the Rent shall, if
and as necessary, be paid up to the day that possession of the
Leased Premises was surrendered.
(B) If any part of the Leased Premises shall be taken such
that it does not, reduce the licensed capacity of the facility by
more than 10%, then Lessee shall, using proceeds of the award
from the taking authority, restore
Lessee /s/ JR Lessor /s/ RPJ
Children's World Purchase Agreement
5/20/99
the remaining portion of the Leased Premises to the extent
necessary to render it satisfactory to Lessee and reasonably
suitable for the purposes for which it was leased. Lessee shall
make all repairs to the building in which the Leased Premises is
located to the extent necessary to constitute the building a
complete architectural unit, provided, however, that such work
shall not exceed the scope of the work required to originally
construct the building. Provided, further, the cost thereof to
Lessee shall not exceed the proceeds of its condemnation award,
all to be done without any adjustments in rent to be paid by
Lessee. Lessor agrees to make the condemnation proceeds available
to Lessee for restoration or repair pursuant to this section.
(C) Subject to Article 12(B) above, all compensation
awarded or paid upon such total or partial taking of the Leased
Premises shall belong to and be the property of Lessor without
any participation by Lessee, whether such damages shall be
awarded as compensation for diminution in value to the leasehold
or to the fee of the premises herein leased. Nothing contained
herein shall be construed to preclude Lessee from prosecuting any
claim directly against the condemning authority in such
proceedings for loss of business, damage to or cost of removal of
or for the value of stock, trade fixtures, furniture, and other
personal property belonging to Lessee; provided, however, that no
such claim shall diminish or otherwise adversely affect Lessor's
award or the award of any fee mortgagee. If a separate award
shall be made representing the difference between the value of
the leasehold estate and the fair market value of a comparable
leasehold estate, Lessee shall be entitled to the same; provided,
however, that Lessor shall be under no obligation to pursue such
award on behalf of Lessee
ARTICLE 13. RIGHT TO INSPECT
Lessor reserves the right to enter upon, inspect and examine
the Leased Premises at any time during business hours, and Lessee
agrees to allow Lessor free access to the Leased Premises to
show the premises upon a minimum of 48 hours prior notice to
Lessee. Lessor will not enter into the Leased Premises for
purposes of this section unless accompanied by a representative
of Lessee and Lessee does hereby agree to provide such
representative upon request by Lessor, such request given not
less than 48 hours in advance. Upon default by Lessee or at any
time within ninety (90) days of the expiration or termination of
the Lease, Lessee agrees to allow Lessor to then place "For Sale"
or "For Rent" signs on the Leased Premises.
ARTICLE 14. USE OF LEASED PREMISES
(A) Lessee agrees and warrants that the Leased Premises
will be used only for lawfully permitted uses which do not
diminish the value of the Leased Premises.
ARTICLE 15. DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES
(A) If, during the term of this Lease, the Leased Premises
are totally or partially destroyed by fire or the elements, so as
to render the premises wholly unfit for occupancy, or make it
impossible in the opinion of a licensed third party arbitrator
knowledgeable in the child care business reasonably acceptable
to Lessee and Lessor, for Lessee to conduct its business therein,
then either Lessor or Lessee shall have the right to terminate
this Lease from the date of such damage or destruction by giving
written notice. The parties agree to use reasonable promptness to
obtain the opinion of such licensed third party arbitrator. Upon
the giving of such notice, Lessee shall immediately surrender the
Leased Premises and all interest therein to Lessor, and in case
of any such termination, Lessor may re-enter and repossess the
Leased Premises and may dispossess all parties then in possession
thereof. If
Lessee /s/ JR Lessor /s/ RPJ
Children's World Purchase Agreement
5/20/99
not otherwise terminated, in the event the Leased Premises shall
be repaired, restored, and rebuilt by Lessee with the use of
insurance proceeds (which Lessor shall cooperate to make
available), but otherwise at its own sole cost and expense,
within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of
destruction, then all rents payable by Lessee shall be abated
during the period of repair and restoration to the extent Lessor
shall be compensated by the proceeds of rents loss insurance. In
no event shall Lessor be required to provide its own money for
the repair or restoration of the Leased Premises other than the
net proceeds of moneys received by it from any insurance policy
or policies covering such loss or damages. Lessee shall be liable
for repair of the Leased Premises with all reasonable speed, and
the rents shall recommence on the date that the repairs are
completed. Lessee shall be under no obligation to so repair
during the last five (5) years of the term of the Lease, or as
extended, but if Lessee shall desire to rebuild during the last
12 months of the Lease term, Lessor will make insurance proceeds
available to rebuild the Leased Premises conditioned upon Lessee
then exercising its next renewal option under the Lease. Lessor
will make insurance proceeds available to rebuild the Leased
Premises in the event Lessee rebuilds, except as stated above.
(B) If the damage does not, in the opinion of a licensed
third party arbitrator reasonably acceptable to Lessee and
Lessor, render the Leased Premises unfit for occupancy, then
Lessor agrees that the damage shall be repaired as soon as
practicable and in that case, Lessee shall pay full rent during
the repair period. All repairs shall be paid for by Lessee out of
any insurance proceeds received (which Lessor shall cooperate to
make available), but if the insurance proceeds are insufficient
to rebuild or repair the Leased Premises according to the
original plans and specifications, whether repair or restoration
is commenced pursuant to paragraph A or B hereof, then Lessee
agrees to pay all additional amounts that are required to rebuild
the building in accordance with the original plans and
specifications. All improvements or betterments placed by Lessee
on the demised premises shall, however, in any event, be repaired
and replaced by Lessee at its own expense and not at the expense
of Lessor. The purpose of this Article is to require Lessee to
carry insurance coverage on the Leased Premises sufficient to
rebuild the improvements in the event of damage or destruction.
Lessee shall be under no obligation to so rebuild during the last
five (5) years of the term, as extended, as the case may be, but
if Lessee shall desire to rebuild during the last 12 months of
the Lease term, Lessor will make insurance proceeds available to
rebuild the Leased Premises conditioned upon Lessee then
exercising its next renewal option under the Lease. Lessor will
make insurance proceeds available to rebuild the Leased Premises
in the event Lessee rebuilds, except as stated above.
Risk that the insurance company shall be insolvent or shall
refuse to make insurance proceeds available shall be with Lessee.
The Leased Premises shall be so restored or rebuilt so as to be
of at least equal value and substantially the same character as
prior to such damage or destruction. If the insurance proceeds
are less than $100,000 they shall be paid to Lessee for such
repair and restoration. If the insurance proceeds are greater
than or equal to $100,000 they shall be deposited by Lessee and
Lessor into a customary construction escrow at a nationally
recognized title insurance company, or at Lessee's option, with
Lessor ("Escrowee") and shall be made available from time to time
to Lessee for such repair and restoration. Such proceeds shall be
disbursed in conformity with the terms and conditions of a
commercially reasonable construction loan agreement. Lessee
shall, in either instance, deliver to Lessor or Escrowee (as the
case may be) satisfactory evidence of the estimated cost of
completion together with such architect's certificates, waivers
of lien, contractor's sworn statements and other evidence of cost
and of payments as the Lessor or Escrowee may reasonably require
and approve. If the estimated cost of the work exceeds One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), all plans and specifications
for such rebuilding or restoration shall be subject to the
reasonable approval of Lessor.

ARTICLE 16. ACTS OF DEFAULT
(A) Each of the following shall be deemed a default by
Lessee and a breach of this Lease:
1. Failure to pay the Rent, or any monetary
obligation herein reserved, (and to be considered to
be rent for the purposes of this Lease) or any part
thereof, within five (5) business days after written
notice from Lessor that the same shall be due and
payable. Provided, however, that interest and
penalties for failure to pay rent when due shall
accrue from the first date such rent was due and
payable.
2. Failure to do, observe, keep and perform
any of the material non-monetary terms, covenants,
conditions, agreements and provisions in this Lease
to be done, observed, kept and performed by Lessee
within 30 days after written notice of such default
(or within a reasonable time thereafter if the
default is incapable of cure within 30 days and
Lessee is diligently pursuing a reasonable course of
action to cure such default.
3. The abandonment (defined herein as the
leaving of the Leased Premises without paying rent,
without maintaining and without the intent of
returning) of the Premises by Lessee, the
adjudication of Lessee as a bankrupt, the making by
Lessee of a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors, the taking by Lessee of the benefit of
any insolvency act or law, the appointment of a
permanent receiver or trustee in bankruptcy for
Lessee property, or the appointment of a temporary
receiver which is not vacated or set aside within
sixty (60) days from the date of such appointment.
ARTICLE 17. TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT
In the event of any uncured default by Lessee and at any
time thereafter, Lessor may serve a written notice upon Lessee
that Lessor elects to terminate this Lease upon a specified date
not less than thirty (30) days after the date of serving such
notice of termination, and this Lease shall then terminate on the
date so specified, provided, however, that Lessee shall have
continuing liability for future rents for the remainder of the
original term and any exercised renewal term as set forth in
Article 19, notwithstanding any earlier termination of the Lease
hereunder, preserving unto Lessor the benefit of its bargained-
for rental payments.
ARTICLE 18. LESSOR'S RIGHT OF RE-ENTRY
In the event that this Lease shall be terminated as herein
provided, or by summary proceedings or otherwise, or in the event
of an uncured default hereunder by Lessee, or in the event that
the premises or any part thereof, shall be abandoned by Lessee,
(subject to rights to cure as provided in Article 16) Lessor or
its agents, servants or representatives, may immediately or at
any time thereafter, re-enter and resume possession of the
premises or any part thereof, and remove all persons and property
therefrom, in accordance with local law either by summary
dispossess proceedings or by a suitable action or proceeding at
law, without being liable for any damages therefor.
Lessee /s/ JR Lessor /s/ RPJ

ARTICLE 19. LESSEE'S CONTINUING LIABILITY
(A) Should Lessor elect to re-enter as provided in this
Lease or should it take possession pursuant to legal proceedings
or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, it may either (i)
terminate this Lease or (ii) it may from time to time, without
terminating the contractual obligation of Lessee to pay Rent
under this Lease, make such commercially reasonable alterations
and repairs as may be necessary to relet the Leased Premises or
any part thereof for such Term or Renewal Terms, at such
commercially reasonable rental or rentals, and upon such other
commercially reasonable terms and conditions as Lessor in its
sole discretion may deem advisable.
(B) Upon each such reletting, without termination the
contractual obligation of Lessee to pay Rent under this Lease,
this Lease, all rentals received by Lessor shall be applied as
follows:
1. First, to the payment of any indebtedness
other than rent due hereunder from Lessee to Lessor;
2. Second, to the payment of any costs and
expenses of such reletting, including brokerage fees
and reasonable attorney's fees and of costs of such
alterations and repairs;
3. Third, to the payment of rent due and
unpaid hereunder;
4. The residue, if any, shall be held by
Lessor and applied in payment of future rent as the
same may become due and payable hereunder. Then any
residue will be used first to reimburse Lessor (or
Lessee if previously paid by Lessee for costs and
expenses per Article 19(B)2 above) for such costs and
expenses incurred per Article 19(B)2 above until
repaid, then any excess shall remain with Lessor.
If such rentals received from such reletting during any
month are less than that to be paid during that month by Lessee
hereunder, Lessee shall pay any such deficiency to Lessor. Such
deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry
or taking possession of such Leased Premises by Lessor shall be
construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease
unless a written notice of such intention be given to Lessee.
(C) Notwithstanding any such reletting without
termination, Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to terminate
this Lease for any breach.
(D) In addition to any other remedies Lessor may have with
this Article 19, Lessor may recover from Lessee all damages it
may incur by reason of any breach, including the cost of
recovering and reletting the Leased Premises, reasonable
attorney's fees, and including the present value (discounted at a
rate of 8% per annum) of the excess of the amount of rent and
charges equivalent to rent reserved in this Lease for the
remainder of the Term over the then reasonable rental value of
the Leased Premises (or the actual rents receivable by Lessor, if
relet) for the remainder of the Term, all of which amounts shall
be immediately due and payable from Lessee to Lessor in full. In
determining the rent which would be payable by Lessee hereunder,
subsequent to default, the total Rental for each year of the
unexpired Term shall be equal to the average total Rental that
would be payable by Lessee as set forth in Article 4 above. In
the event that the rent obtained from such alternative or
substitute tenant is more than the rent which Lessee is obligated
to pay under this Lease, then such excess shall be paid to
Lessor provided that Lessor shall credit such excess against the
outstanding obligations of Lessee due pursuant hereto, if any.
Lessee /s/ JR Lessor /s/ RPJ
Children's World Purchase Agreement
5/20/99
(E) Lessor will use its reasonable efforts to attempt to
mitigate damages of Lessee, but Lessor shall have absolutely no
obligation to expend any moneys in the way of tenant inducements
or in the refurbishment of the Leased Premises for any use other
than that for which the Leased Premises were being used by
Lessee. It is the object and purpose of this Article 19 that
Lessor shall be kept whole and shall suffer no damage by way of
non-payment of rent or by way of diminution in rent. Lessee
waives and will waive all rights to trial by jury in any summary
proceedings to recover possession of the Leased Premises which
may hereafter be instituted by Lessor.
ARTICLE 20. PERSONALTY, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT
(A) All building fixtures, building machinery, and
building equipment used in connection with the operation of the
Leased Premises including, but not limited to, heating, lighting,
ventilating, plumbing, walk-in refrigerators, walk-in freezers,
and air conditioning systems shall be the property of Lessor. All
trade fixtures and all other fixtures and articles of personal
property owned by Lessee shall remain the property of Lessee.
(B) Lessee shall furnish and pay for any and all
equipment, furniture, trade fixtures, and signs, except for such
items, if any, described in Article 20(A) above. Lessor agrees
that it has no interest in the personal property of Lessee.
(C) At the end of the term of this Lease, all personal
property and trade fixture of Lessee may be removed from the
Leased Premises by Lessee, however, removal of such fixtures may
proceed only after five (5) business days prior written notice to
Lessor of the time of such removal and notice of the
identification of the parties performing such removal. All damage
to the Leased Premises which may be caused by the removal of such
property shall be promptly paid for by Lessee.
ARTICLE 21. LIENS
Lessee shall not do or cause anything to be done whereby the
Leased Premises may be encumbered by any mechanic's or other
liens. Whenever and as often as any mechanic's or other lien is
filed against said Leased Premises purporting to be for labor or
materials furnished or to be furnished to Lessee, within thirty
(30) days from the date of the filing of said mechanic's or other
lien (or such earlier period if required by law prevent default
or attachment of the lien) and delivery of notice thereof to
Lessee of Lessee's obligation under this Lease, Lessee shall
remove the lien of record by payment or by bonding with a surety
company authorized to do business in the state in which the
property is located, or other security reasonable acceptable to
Lessor. Should Lessee fail to take the foregoing steps within
said thirty (30) day period, then Lessor shall have the right,
among other things, to pay said lien without inquiring into the
validity thereof, and Lessee shall forthwith reimburse Lessor for
the total expense incurred by it in discharging said lien as
additional rent hereunder, subject to notice to Lessee and a 10
business day cure period.
ARTICLE 22. NO WAIVER BY LESSOR EXCEPT IN WRITING
No agreement to accept a surrender of the Leased Premises or
termination of this Lease shall be valid unless in writing signed
by Lessor. The delivery of keys to any employee of Lessor or
Lessor's agents shall not operate as a termination of the Lease
or a surrender of the premises. The failure of Lessor to seek
redress for violation of, any rule or regulation, shall not
Lessee /s/ JR Lessor /s/ RPJ
Children's World Purchase Agreement
5/20/99
prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted
a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original
violation. No payment by Lessee or receipt by Lessor of a lesser
amount than the rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be
other than on account of the earliest stipulated rent, nor shall
any endorsement or statement on any check nor any letter
accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and
satisfaction, and Lessor may accept such check or payment without
prejudice to Lessor's right to recover the balance of such rent
or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. This Lease
contains the entire agreement between the parties, and any
executory agreement hereafter made shall be ineffective to
change, modify or discharge it in whole or in part unless such
executory agreement is in writing and signed by the party
against whom enforcement of the change, modification or
discharge is sought.
ARTICLE 23. QUIET ENJOYMENT
Lessor covenants that Lessee, upon paying the rent set forth
in Article 4 and all other sums herein reserved as rent and upon
the due performance of all the terms, covenants, conditions and
agreements herein contained on Lessee's part to be kept and
performed, shall have, hold and enjoy the Leased Premises free
from molestation, eviction, or disturbance by Lessor, or by any
other person or persons lawfully claiming the same, and that
Lessor has good right to make this Lease for the full term
granted, including renewal periods.
ARTICLE 24. BREACH - PAYMENT OF COSTS AND ATTORNEYS' FEES
The non-prevailing party agrees to pay and discharge all
reasonable costs, attorneys' fees and expenses that shall be
incurred by the prevailing party in enforcing the covenants,
conditions and terms of this Lease or defending against an
alleged breach.
ARTICLE 25. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
Either party to this Lease will, at any time from time to
time, upon not less than ten (10) business days prior request by
the other party, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
requesting party a statement in writing, executed by an executive
officer of such party, certifying (a) that this Lease is
unmodified (or if modified then disclosure of such modification
shall be made); (b) that this Lease is in full force and effect;
(c) that the date to which the rent and other charges have been
paid; and (d) that to the knowledge of the signer of such
certificate the other party is not in default in the performance
of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Lease,
or if a default does exist, specifying each such default of which
the signer may have knowledge. It is intended that any such
statement delivered pursuant to this Article may be relied upon
by any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the Leased Premises
or any assignee of such mortgagee or a purchaser of the leasehold
estate.
ARTICLE 26. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Lessee will, within ninety (90) days after the end of
Lessee's fiscal year during the term of this Lease, furnish to
the Lessor financial statements of the Lessee. The financial
statements shall be certified by an officer of Lessee or if
financial statements are prepared by an independent certified
public accountant then such accountant's report shall be provided
and such report shall be prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principals with auditor's opinion and
footnotes included therein. The
Lessee /s/ JR Lessor /s/ RPJ
Children's World Purchase Agreement
5/20/99
financial statements shall include a balance sheet, and related
statement of income.
ARTICLE 27. MORTGAGE
Lessee does hereby agree to make reasonable modifications of
this Lease requested by any Mortgagee of record from time to time
provided such modifications are not material and do not increase
any of the rents or modify any of the business elements of this
Lease.
ARTICLE 28. OPTION TO RENEW
If this Lease is not previously canceled or terminated and
if Lessee is not then in material default hereunder, then Lessee
shall have three (3) separate individual options to renew this
Lease upon the same conditions and covenants contained in this
Lease for three separate individual (3) consecutive periods of
five (5) years each (singularly "Renewal Term").
The first Renewal Term would commence on the date the
original Term expires and successive Renewal Terms would commence
on the last day of the then expiring Renewal Term. Lessee must
give 90 days written notice to Lessor of its intent to exercise
this option prior to the expiration of the original Term of this
Lease or any Renewal Term, as the case may be.
The rent during the Renewal Term or Terms shall increase
each Lease Year of the Renewal Term at the same rate as set forth
in Article 4 above.
ARTICLE 29. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
(A) All written notices shall be given by certified mail
or express courier. Notices to Lessor shall be addressed to the
person and address given on the first page hereof. Lessor and
Lessee may, from time to time, change these addresses by
notifying each other of this change in writing.
(B) The terms, conditions and covenants contained in this
Lease and any riders and plans attached hereto shall bind and
inure to the benefit of Lessor and Lessee and their respective
successors, heirs, legal representatives, and assigns.
(C) This Lease shall be governed by and construed under
the laws of the State where the premises are situated.
(D) In the event that any provision of this Lease shall
be held invalid or unenforceable, no other provisions of this
Lease shall be affected by such holding, and all of the remaining
provisions of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect
pursuant to the terms hereof.
(E) The paragraph captions are inserted only for
convenience and reference, and are not intended, in any way, to
define, limit, describe the scope, intent, and language of this
Lease or its provisions.
(F) In the event Lessee remains in possession of the
premises herein leased after the expiration of this Lease and
without the execution of a new lease, it shall be deemed to be
occupying said premises as a tenant from
Lessee /s/ JR Lessor /s/ RPJ
Children's World Purchase Agreement
5/20/99
month-to-month, subject to all the conditions, provisions, and
obligations of this Lease insofar as the same can be applicable
to a month-to-month tenancy except that the monthly installment
of Rental shall be increased 25% from the amount due on the last
month prior to such expiration.
(G) If any installment of rent (whether lump sum, monthly
installments, or any other monetary amounts required by this
Lease to be paid by Lessee and deemed to constitute Rental
hereunder) shall not be paid within 10 days when due, Lessor
shall have the right to charge Lessee a late charge of $250 per
month for unpaid rent for each month that any amount of rent
installment remains unpaid. Said late charge shall commence after
such installment is due and continue until said installment,
interest and all accrued late charges are paid in full.
(H) Any part of the Leased Premises may be conveyed by
Lessor for private easement purposes at any time provided Lessee
gives written consent to such private easement. In the event that
the private easement affects or is related to the playground or
the building on the Leased Premises, then Lessee's consent may be
arbitrarily withheld in Lessee's sole and absolute discretion. If
the private easement does not affect the playground or building
on the Leased Premises, then Lessee's consent may not be
commercially unreasonably withheld. In such event that any part
of the Leased Premises are so conveyed, Lessor shall, at its own
cost and expense, restore the remaining portion of the Leased
Premises to the extent necessary to render it reasonably suitable
for the purposes for which it was leased, all to be done without
adjustments in rent to be paid by Lessee. All proceeds from any
conveyance of a private easement shall belong solely to Lessor.
(I) For the purpose of this Lease, the term "rent" shall
be defined as Rental under Article 4, and any other monetary
amounts required by this Lease to be paid by Lessee.
ARTICLE 30. REMEDIES
NON-EXCLUSIVITY. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
it is the intent of the parties that the rights and remedies
contained herein shall not be exclusive but rather shall be
cumulative along with all of the rights and remedies of the
parties which they may have at law or equity.
ARTICLE 31. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INDEMNITY
Lessee covenants, represents and warrants to Lessor, its
successors and assigns, (i) that it has not used or permitted and
will not use or permit the Leased Premises to be used, whether
directly or through contractors, agents or tenants, and to the
best of Lessee's knowledge and except as disclosed to Lessor in
writing, the Leased Premises has not at any time been used for
the generating, transporting, treating, storage, manufacture,
emission of, or disposal of any dangerous, toxic or hazardous
pollutants, chemicals, wastes or substances as defined in the
Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA"), the Federal Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 ("RCRA"), or any other
federal, state or local environmental laws, statutes,
regulations, requirements and ordinances ("Hazardous Materials");
(ii) that there have been no investigations or reports involving
Lessee, or the Leased Premises by any governmental authority
which in any way pertain to Hazardous Materials (iii) that the
operation of the Leased Premises has not violated and is not
currently violating any federal, state or local law, regulation,
ordinance or requirement governing Hazardous Materials; (iv) that
the Leased Premises is not listed in the United States
Environmental Protection Agency's National Priorities List of
Hazardous
Lessee /s/ JR Lessor /s/ RPJ
Children's World Purchase Agreement
5/20/99
Waste Sites nor any other list, schedule, log, inventory or
record of Hazardous Materials or hazardous waste sites, whether
maintained by the United States Government or any state or local
agency; and (v) that the Leased Premises will not contain any
formaldehyde, urea or asbestos, except as may have been disclosed
in writing to Lessor by Lessee at the time of execution and
delivery of this Lease. Lessee agrees to indemnify and reimburse
Lessor, its successors and assigns, for:
(a) any breach of these representations and warranties,
and
(b) any loss, damage, expense or cost arising out of
or incurred by Lessor which is the result of a breach
of, misstatement of or misrepresentation of the above
covenants, representations and warranties, and
(c) any and all liability of any kind whatsoever which
Lessor may, for any cause and at any time, sustain or
incur by reason of Hazardous Materials, released or
placed on the Leased Premises during the term of the
Lease,
together with all reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and
disbursements incurred in connection with the defense of any
action against Lessor arising out of the above. These covenants,
representations and warranties shall be deemed continuing
covenants, representations and warranties for the benefit of
Lessor, and any successors and assigns of Lessor and shall
survive expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. The
amount of all such indemnified loss, damage, expense or cost,
shall bear interest thereon at the rate of interest equal to the
rate changed on overdue payment in Section 4(E) and shall become
immediately due and payable in full on demand of Lessor, its
successors and assigns.
ARTICLE 32. ESCROWS
If Lessee has defaulted in payment of any taxes, or if
Lessee shall be in default under any of the items of this Lease,
or if Lessor's Mortgagee shall require Lessor to escrow the
amount of real estate taxes or assessments on a monthly basis,
then in either event, at Lessor's option, Lessee shall deposit
with Lessor on the first day of each and every month thereafter,
an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated annual
real estate taxes, assessments ("Charges") due on the Leased
Premises. From time to time out of such deposits Lessor will,
upon the presentation to Lessor by Lessee of the bills therefor,
pay the Charges or will upon presentation of receipted bills
therefor, reimburse Lessee for such payments made by Lessee. In
the event the deposits on hand shall not be sufficient to pay all
of the estimated Charges when the same shall become due from time
to time or the prior payments shall be less than the currently
estimated monthly amounts, then Lessee shall pay to Lessor on
demand any amount necessary to make up the deficiency. The excess
of any such deposits shall be credited to subsequent payments to
be made for such items. If a default or an event of default shall
occur under the terms of this Lease, Lessor may, at its option,
without being required so to do, apply any Deposit on hand to
cure the default, in such order and manner as Lessor may elect.
ARTICLE 33. NET LEASE
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary it
is the intent of the parties hereto that this Lease shall be a
net lease and that the rent defined pursuant to Paragraph 4
should be a net rent paid to Lessor. Any and all other expenses
including but not limited to, maintenance, repair, insurance,
taxes, and assessments, shall be paid by Lessee.

ARTICLE 34. RIGHT TO SUBSTITUTION
If Lessee determines that it is economically unfeasible to
continue operations in or at the Leased Premises, Lessee may
exchange the Leased Premises for another of like kind, value,
size and demographic location acceptable to Lessor. If Lessor
elects to accept a replacement property in exchange for the
Leased Premises owned by Lessor, Lessee shall provide a
replacement property of comparable size, cost, location and
ownership interest in a Section 1031 "like-kind" exchange and
shall lease the replacement Premises from Lessor on identical
terms as contained in the lease for the original Leased Premises.
All costs associated with making such exchange, including the
provision of surveys, title, environmental and all other
documentation normally required or obtained by Lessor, shall be
paid by Lessee.
