property (the "Land"), more fully described in Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference, together with the buildings, fixtures and
other improvements (the "Building") more fully described in the site plan and
plans and specifications (collectively, with all approved modifications thereof,
the "Plans") attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference,
to have and to hold the Land, the Building, all other improvements constructed
on the Land, and all easements, rights and privileges appurtenant thereto, unto
Tenant and its permitted successors and assigns, for a term commencing on the

the Building, and all easements, rights and privileges appurtenant thereto,
being collectively referred to hereinafter as the "Premises").
Article 2. Construction of Infrastructure and Building
Section 2.01. Infrastructure. Landlord shall be responsible for clearing,
grading, drainage, and filling the Premises, installation of driveways and
parking areas, including pavement, spaces and lighting, installation of
landscaping and irrigation equipment, and all utility installations, including
water and sewerage facilities, gas and electrical service as specified in the
Plans or as otherwise agreed upon in writing by Landlord and Tenant
(collectively, the "Infrastructure"). Landlord shall deliver the Premises with
the Infrastructure installed and operational, in compliance with applicable laws
and with all tap fees, hook-in fees, impact fees or other connection fees paid.
The responsibility of Landlord for utility installations shall in no event be
construed to make Landlord liable for any interruption or failure in the supply
of any utilities to the Premises; provided, however, notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, if there is an interruption or failure of the
utility services provided to the Premises which is caused by Landlord or any
defects in construction of the Premises, and such interruption or failure
interferes with Tenant's use of the Premises: (i) Tenant shall be entitled to
receive a proportionate abatement of rental until same has been corrected, and
(ii) if same continues for a period in excess of thirty (30) days after written
notice from Tenant to Landlord, Tenant shall be entitled to terminate this Lease
by written notice thereof unless such corrective work has been started by
Landlord or is planned to be commenced with correction to be completed as soon
as possible thereafter.
Section 2.02. Building.
i. Landlord shall be responsible for having the Building constructed
on the Land substantially in accordance with the Plans. No deviations may be
made from the Plans at Tenant's request without Landlord's prior written
approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Tenant shall be entitled to cause
the Plans to be modified based upon Tenant's space plan and use requirements. In
the event that Tenant requests any deviations from the Plans, Landlord shall
cause its architect to revise the Plans and Landlord shall submit the revised
Plans to Tenant for review and approval within five (5) days after receipt of
Tenant's request therefor. The submission and approval process shall be repeated
until such time as Tenant has approved the revised Plans. In the event that
Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on the final Plans within five (5) days after
the date hereof, Tenant shall be entitled to terminate this Lease by delivering
written notice thereof to Landlord. In the event any such deviation which
increases the overall cost of construction of the Building in excess of Three
Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($350,000.00) (the "Allowance"),
Tenant shall pay all such increases in costs (such increases being referred to
as "Cost Overruns") in accordance with the terms hereof. Landlord shall make, at
its sole cost and expense, any deviations from the Plans which are (a) required
or desirable in order to comply with then-applicable or proposed building codes,
laws, regulations or ordinances or (b) necessary, desirable or appropriate in
light of geographic and/or geologic conditions and/or then-current standards in
the construction or architecture industries.
ii. Tenant and its representatives shall review the Plans and
determine the adequacy, sufficiency, safety, and utility of the Building and
design thereof, if the Building is built substantially in accordance therewith.
iii. Provided Landlord and Tenant have both signed off on all
construction plans (including changes requested by Tenant) no later than March
31, 2000, Landlord agrees to use its best efforts to tender the Building to
Tenant in accordance with Section 2.05 on or before June 1, 2000 (the "Scheduled

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Landlord fails to
deliver the Premises to Tenant in the condition required by this Lease on or
prior to the Scheduled Completion Date, Tenant shall be entitled to receive two
(2) days abatement of rental for each day thereafter until Landlord has so
delivered the Premises to Tenant, and if Landlord fails to so deliver the
Premises to Tenant on or prior to the date which is thirty (30) days after the
Scheduled Completion Date, Tenant shall be entitled to terminate this Lease upon
written notice thereof to Landlord at any time before the Premises have been so
delivered to Tenant. In addition, Landlord shall be responsible for any holdover
rent or additional moving expenses incurred by Tenant as a result of Landlord's
failure to deliver the Premises to Tenant on or prior to the Scheduled
Completion Date.
iv. Landlord represents and warrants that Building will be erected in
a good and workmanlike manner, in compliance with all applicable laws,
including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and

enter the Premises following the execution hereof for purposes of installing its
furniture, fixtures and improvements and storing its merchandise on the same
terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, except that Tenant shall have no
obligation to pay rent prior to the Commencement Date. Tenant's employees,
workers or contractors shall work in harmony and not unreasonably interfere with

contractors, nor shall Tenant's activities jeopardize the issuance of a
certificate of occupancy or other license or permit for the Premises.
Section 2.03. Certain Costs and Expenses.
A. Should Tenant request changes to the Plans and/or the Building as
constructed, Tenant hereby agrees to pay: (i) any Cost Overruns arising in
connection therewith. Tenant shall pay all such Cost Overruns on the date the
Premises are delivered to Tenant in the condition required by this Lease; and
(ii) Rent commencing on the Scheduled Commencement Date, provided such requested
changes to the Plans and/or the Building have caused a delay of the completion
of the Building not caused by Landlord's delay.
Section 2.04. Warranties. Upon completion of the Building, Tenant shall
receive a copy of all written warranties covering the Building and
Infrastructure. In the event of a defect in the Building or Infrastructure or in
the event of any breach of a guarantee or warranty given by or on behalf of the
contractor or its subcontractors to Landlord, Landlord and Tenant agree to
cooperate to the extent practicable to have all such defects or breaches
remedied by the contractor or the appropriate third party. This cooperation
shall not relieve Landlord of its duty and obligation to have the Building and
Infrastructure constructed in a good and workmanlike manner, or release Landlord
from any of its obligations under this Lease.
Section 2.05. Completion. Landlord shall be deemed to have tendered the
Premises to Tenant and the Lease shall be deemed to have commenced (the

provide Landlord with a written list of what respects, if any, the Premises have
not been substantially completed in accordance with the Plans (the "Tenant's
List"). All items included in Tenant's List, which Landlord agrees in its
reasonable judgment have not been substantially completed in accordance with the
Plans, shall be completed by Landlord in accordance with the Plans within thirty
(30) days after receipt of Tenant's List, subject to Force Majeure and temporary
condemnation. Landlord's completion of the items on Tenant's List must not

unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Premises. Landlord
may, at its option, retain for itself one or more duplicates of keys to the
Building and/or other means of access thereto.

amount equal to One Hundred Eighty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100

described in Article 18, Landlord shall be entitled to retain the Security
Deposit, and Tenant will not be given any credit towards Rent yet to come due
and owing. Specifically, Tenant and Landlord acknowledge and agree that upon an
Event of Default, if any, Landlord may utilize the proceeds of the Security
Deposit as an offset to a portion of the damages suffered by Landlord, and no
portion of the proceeds of the Security Deposit will be deemed to be prepaid

Tenant.

day of the month, without demand or notice (except if notice is required
pursuant to the terms of this Lease), in lawful money of the United States of
America, to Landlord at the address set out for notices in Section 26.01 hereof,
or at such place as Landlord may from time to time designate. In the event
Tenant shall fail to pay the Rent or Additional Rent within ten (10) days after
written notice thereof is delivered to Tenant, a late charge at a rate of 18 per
annum or (1.5% per month) (the "Default Rate") shall accrue from the due date of
such Rent or Additional Rent until paid, and the same shall be treated as
Additional Rent.
Section 3.04. Holding Over.
A. Should Tenant provide to Landlord six (6) months prior written notice
of its intention to hold over, Tenant shall be entitled to remain in possession
of the Premises for a period of sixty (60) days following the end of the term of
this Lease, or any renewal thereof, on the same terms and conditions as are set
forth in this Lease and without liability to Landlord for any damages,
consequential or otherwise, resulting from such holdover. Tenant hereby agrees
that if it fails to surrender the Premises at the end of said sixty (60)-day
period, or earlier termination as provided in this Lease, Tenant shall be liable
to Landlord for any and all actual damages which Landlord shall suffer by reason
thereof, and Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all claims and demands made

delivering possession of the Premises to any such succeeding tenant caused by
Tenant's holding over beyond such sixty (60)-day period.

of Landlord.
ii. Landlord agrees to defend, indemnify and save harmless Tenant from and
against all Liabilities of any nature whatsoever which may be imposed upon or
incurred by or asserted against Tenant (i) arising from any breach or default on
part of Landlord in the performance of
11
any of its covenants or agreements under this Lease; or (ii) arising from any
act, omission, or negligence of Landlord, or its agents, contractors, servants,

contain agreements by the insurers that (1) with respect to property insurance,
any loss shall be payable to Landlord or any Mortgagee and Tenant or Tenant's
lender, as appropriate, notwithstanding any act or negligence of Tenant or
Landlord which might otherwise result in forfeiture of such insurance; (2) such

actually paid by such insurer), even though such loss or damage might have been
occasioned by the negligence of such party, its agents or employees. However, if
by reason of the foregoing waiver, either party shall be unable to obtain any
such insurance, such waiver shall be deemed not to have been made by such party.
Section 11.04. Tenant's Failure to Comply. If Tenant fails to comply with
the foregoing requirements relating to insurance, Landlord may obtain such
insurance, and Tenant shall pay to
13
Landlord immediately upon demand the premium cost thereof. Such payment of

Section 11.05. Landlord's Insurance Obligation. Landlord shall be
responsible for maintaining builder's risk insurance on the Building during the
initial construction of the Building.
Article 12. Damage and Destruction
Section 12.01. Damage and Destruction of Premises. In case of any material
damage to or destruction of any portion of the Premises, Tenant shall give
prompt written notice thereof to Landlord. If the Premises should be totally
destroyed by fire or other casualty, or if the Premises should be so damaged
that rebuilding cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred eighty (180)
days after the date of written notification by Tenant to Landlord of the
destruction, Tenant shall be entitled to terminate this Lease and the rent shall
be abated for the unexpired portion of the Lease, effective as of the date of
the written notification thereof. If any portion of the Premises shall be
partially damaged by fire or other casualty and this Lease is not terminated by
Tenant pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Lease then Landlord shall
proceed promptly and with due diligence to repair and restore the damaged
portion to substantially the same condition and quality as prior to such damage,
provided that if such damage or destruction shall occur during the last twelve
(12) months of the term of this Lease, unless Tenant shall have properly
exercised its right to renew under Section 3.02 or its right to purchase the
Premises under Section 25.01, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this
Lease by giving Tenant notice of its election to do so within sixty (60) days
after the date of such damage or destruction, and upon the giving of such
notice, this Lease shall terminate and neither party shall have any further
rights or obligations under this Lease, except that Landlord shall have the
right to all insurance proceeds on the Building. If the Premises are rebuilt or
replaced and are untenantable in whole or in part following the damage, the rent
and all other sums payable by Tenant under this Lease during the period for
which the Premises are untenantable shall be abated in proportion to that part
of the Premises that is unfit for use in Tenant's business. The abatement shall
consider the nature and extent of interference to Tenant's ability to conduct
business in the Premises and the need for access and essential services. The
abatement shall continue from the date the damage occurred until ten (10)
business days after Landlord completes the repairs and restorations and notice
to Tenant that the repairs and restoration are completed, or until Tenant again
uses the Premises or the part rendered unusable, whichever is first. If Landlord
fails to restore the Premises within one hundred eighty (180) days after such
damage occurs, Tenant shall be entitled to terminate this Lease by delivering
written notice thereof to Landlord. Tenant shall make the insurance proceeds
available to Landlord for such repairs and restorations.
Article 13. Condemnation
Section 13.01. Taking. In the event that at any time during the term of
this Lease, title to the whole or materially all of the Premises shall be taken
by the exercise of the right of condemnation or eminent domain, Tenant shall be
required to yield possession of the Premises to the condemning authority, this
Lease terminate on the date of such taking, and the Rent to be
14
paid by the Tenant shall be apportioned and paid to the date of such taking. In
the event of any such condemnation, this Lease and the rights and obligations of
this parties hereunder shall cease as to the date of such taking. In the event a
portion of the Premises shall be taken by right of condemnation or eminent
domain or by purchase in lieu thereof and such partial taking materially
interferes with Tenant's ability to continue its business operations in
substantially the same manner and space, this Lease shall terminate on the date
of such taking. If there is a partial taking and this Lease is not terminated as
provided above, Landlord shall, at Landlord's sole risk and expense, restore and
reconstruct the Building and other Improvements on the Premises to substantially
the same condition as existed prior to the taking. If there is a partial taking
and this Lease continues, then the Lease shall end as to the part taken and the
rent payable under this Lease during the expired portion of the term shall xxxxx
in proportion to the part of the Premises taken.
Section 13.02. Awards. All compensation awarded for any taking of the
Premises or any interest therein shall belong to and be the property of
Landlord. Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all rights with respect thereto;
provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Tenant, at its
sole cost and expense, from applying separately for reimbursement of any
condemnation proceeding (if permitted by law) for any damages payable for
movable trade fixtures and leasehold improvements paid for and installed by
Tenant and for Tenant's loss of business, and for Tenant's relocation costs.
Article 14. Signs
Section 14.01. Erection and Removal of Signs. Tenant may place, at its sole
cost and expense, suitable signs on the Premises for the purpose of indicating
the nature and name of the business carried on by Tenant in the Premises;
provided, however, that such signs are in compliance with any laws, rules,
regulations, protective covenants, or ordinances governing such signs. At the
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove, at its sole cost and expense,
all signs, and shall repair any damage caused by the erection or removal of such
signs.
Article 15. Quiet Enjoyment
Section 15.01. Tenant's Right to Quiet Enjoyment. If and so long as Tenant
pays the Rent and Additional Rent and performs and observes the covenants and
provisions hereof, (a) Tenant shall quietly enjoy the Premises, subject,
however, to the terms of this Lease and (b) Landlord will warrant and defend
Tenant in the enjoyment and peaceful possession of the Premises throughout the
term of this Lease.
Article 16. Right of Entry
Section 16.01. Right of Entry by Landlord. Tenant at any time during the
term of this Lease shall permit inspection of the Premises during reasonable

the Premises nor any part thereof, nor assign, or otherwise dispose of this
Lease or any interest therein, or any part thereof, without Landlord's prior
written consent in each of the foregoing cases, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof,
without Landlord's consent, to any entity that controls, is controlled by or is
under common control with Tenant, or to any entity resulting from merger or
consolidation with and into Tenant or a sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of Tenant. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that the transfer of
ownership interests in Tenant will not constitute an assignment or sublease for
purposes hereof provided that such new owner's financial responsibility meets or
exceeds the criteria Landlord used to select Tenant. In addition, during the
initial term of this Lease, Tenant shall be entitled to sublet up to fifty
percent (50%) of the Premises without Landlord's consent. Tenant shall be
entitled to retain all excess rental and other compensation in connection with
any such assignment or subletting. Consent by Landlord to any assignment or
subletting shall not constitute a waiver of the requirement for such consent to
any subsequent assignment or subletting, nor shall such consent be deemed to
release Tenant from liability under this Lease except to the extent such consent
specifically provides in writing. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional
Rent, the sum of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) to cover Landlord's
administrative costs, overhead and counsel fees, plus all out-of-pocket expense,
in connection with any assignment or subletting for which consent by Landlord is
required.
Article 18. Default Provisions
Section 18.01. Event of Default. Any one or more of the following events
shall constitute an "Event of Default" by tenant:
i. The failure by Tenant to pay Rent, Additional Rent or any other amount
due hereunder within ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Landlord
that the same is due hereunder; or
ii. Default by Tenant in the performance or observance of any other term,
covenant or condition to be performed or observed by Tenant under this Lease,
which default is not cured within thirty (30) days after the giving of written
notice thereof by Landlord; provided, however, in the case of a default which
cannot with reasonable diligence be remedied by Tenant within a period of thirty
(30) days, no Event of Default shall occur so long as Tenant commenced to remedy
such Event of Default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter in the
reasonable discretion of Landlord, is diligently pursuing curing the same;
provided, further, if Tenant shall default in the performance of any covenant or
agreement of this Lease four (4) or more times in any twelve (12) month period,
that notwithstanding such defaults have each been cured by Tenant, any further
similar default shall be deemed an Event of Default without the ability for
cure; or
iii. The adjudication of Tenant as bankrupt or insolvent, the making by
Tenant of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, the taking by
Tenant of the benefit of any insolvency act or law, or the appointment of a
receiver or a trustee for Tenant which is not
16
vacated, dismissed, withdrawn or otherwise terminated within sixty (60) days
from the date of such adjudication, assignment, taking or appointment, as
applicable; or
iv. The subjection of the Premises to any voluntary or involuntary lien,
security interest or other encumbrance which is (i) attributable to any act or
omission by or on behalf of Tenant and (ii) is enforceable by third parties and
same is not discharged by Tenant in accordance with the terms of Section 7.02
hereof (the foregoing shall not apply to a leasehold mortgage described in
Section 8.03 hereof);
v. The vacating or abandonment by Tenant at any time during the term of
this Lease, or the closing or failure to operate in, the Premises in accordance
with the permitted uses for a period of ninety (90) continuous days or more; or
vi. The occurrence of any other event described as constituting an "Event
of Default" or default elsewhere in this Lease.
Section 18.02. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default Landlord, without notice to Tenant in any instance may:
A. Have the immediate right of reentry and may remove all persons and
property from the Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise.
B. In addition, in the event of any Event of Default (whether or not
Landlord shall elect to re-enter or to take possession pursuant to legal
proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law), Landlord shall have
the right, at Landlord's option,
(1) to terminate this Lease by giving notice of such election to
Tenant. The term hereof shall cease and expire on the date set forth in said
notice as if that date were the expiration originally set forth herein, or
(2) to relet the Premises or any part(s) thereof for such term or terms
(which may extend beyond the term of this Lease) and at such rental(s) and upon
such other terms and conditions as Landlord in Landlord's sole discretion may
deem advisable. Landlord shall have the right from time to time to make such
alterations and repairs as may be reasonably necessary in order to relet the
Premises. Upon each such reletting all rentals received by the Landlord from
such reletting shall be applied first to the payment of any costs and expenses
of such reletting, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
of the cost of restoring the Premises to the condition required by this Lease
and specifically including costs of brokerage commissions, advertising and
alterations but specifically excluding remodeling; second, to the payment of
Rent and Additional Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any,

Rent and other payments required to be made by Tenant hereunder as the same may
become due and payable hereunder, with the right reserved to Landlord to bring
such additional proceeding(s) for the recovery of any deficits remaining unpaid
without being obliged to await the end of the term for a final determination of
Tenant' s account, and the commencement or maintenance of any one or more
actions for farther accruals pursuant to the provisions of this Section 18.02.
Notwithstanding any
17
such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to
terminate this Lease for such previous breach, or
C. Exercise any other remedies provided in this Lease, or
D. Exercise any other legal or equitable right or remedy which it may have.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, following an
Event of Default by Tenant hereunder, Landlord shall use good faith, reasonable
efforts to relet the Premises and thus mitigate its damages.
Any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord (including, without limitation,
court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in enforcing any of its
rights or remedies under this Lease shall be deemed to be Additional Rent and
shall be repaid to Landlord by Tenant upon demand.
Tenant waives the service of notice of Landlord's intention to reenter as
provided for in any statute or to institute legal proceedings to that end, and
also waives any and all right of redemption in case Tenant shall be dispossessed
by a judgment or by order of any court or judge.
LANDLORD AND TENANT EACH WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY A JMY IF
SUNWARY PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE INSTITUTED BY LANDLORD. The terms "enter,"
"reenter," "entry," or "reentry," as used in this lease are not restricted to
their technical legal meanings.

Landlord fails to comply with any obligation of Landlord contained in the Lease

following written notice thereof from Tenant, in addition to other remedies
permitted at law or in equity, Tenant shall be entitled, at any time before the
default is cured: (a) as expressly enumerated in this Lease, to take such action
as may be required to have been taken by Landlord under the Lease, in which
event Landlord agrees to pay to Tenant within thirty (30) days of written demand
all costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection therewith, failing which
Tenant shall be entitled to pursue the recoupment of such amounts in a court of
competent jurisdiction.

to create the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, and no other relationship
whatsoever, and unless expressly otherwise provided herein, nothing herein shall

permitted by law.
Section 26.05. No Waiver. Failure on the part of either party to complain
of any action or non-action on the part of the other party, no matter how long

breach by the other party of any provision of this Lease. The failure of a party
to insist in any one or more cases upon the strict performance of any of the
covenants of this Lease or to exercise any option in this Lease shall not be
construed as a waiver or a relinquishment for the future of such covenant or
option. A receipt by Landlord of the Rent or Additional Rent shall not be deemed
a waiver of any other breach of any covenant of this Lease, and no waiver by
either party of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made
unless in writing and signed by such party. In addition to the other remedies
provided in this Lease, either party shall be entitled to the restraint by
injunction of the violation, or attempted or threatened violation, of any of the
covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease.

Lease other than those specifically set forth herein. This Lease can be modified

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT
This SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (this
"Agreement") dated March 30, 2000 is made by and among ICON HEALTH AND FITNESS,
INC., a Delaware corporation ("Tenant"), INTERNATIONAL CENTER I, LLC, a South
Carolina limited liability company ("Landlord"), and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a
national banking association ("Mortgagee").
WHEREAS, Mortgagee is the owner of a promissory note (herein, as it may
have been or may be from time to time renewed, extended, amended, supplemented,
or restated, called the "Note") dated September 9, 1999, executed by Landlord
payable to the order of Mortgagee, in the principal face amount of
$5,700,000.00, bearing interest and payable as therein provided, secured by,
among other things, a Mortgage and Security Agreement (herein, as it may have
been or may be from time to time renewed, extended, amended or supplemented,
called the "Mortgage"), recorded or to be recorded in the land records of
Berkeley County, South Carolina, covering, among other property, the land (the
"Land") described in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and incorporated herein
by reference, and the improvements ("Improvements") thereon (such Land and
Improvements being herein together called the "Property");
WHEREAS, Tenant is the tenant under a lease from Landlord dated March 30,
2000 (herein, as it may from time to time be renewed, extended, amended or
supplemented, called the "Lease"), covering a portion of the Property (said
portion being herein referred to as the "Premises"); and
WHEREAS, the term "Landlord" as used herein means the present landlord
under the Lease or, if the landlord's interest is transferred in any manner, the
successor(s) or assign(s) occupying the position of landlord under the Lease at
the time in question.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Subordination. Tenant agrees and covenants that the Lease and the
rights of Tenant thereunder, all of Tenant's right, title and interest in and to
the property covered by the Lease, and any lease thereafter executed by Tenant
covering any part of the Property, are and shall be subject, subordinate and
inferior to (a) the Mortgage and the rights of Mortgagee thereunder, and all
right, title and interest of Mortgagee in the Property, and (b) all other
security documents now or hereafter securing payment of any indebtedness of the
Landlord (or any prior landlord) to Mortgagee which cover or affect the Property
(the "Security Documents"). This Agreement is not intended and shall not be
construed to subordinate the Lease to any mortgage, deed of trust or other
security document other than those referred to in the preceding sentence,
securing the indebtedness to Mortgagee.
2. Non-Disturbance. Mortgagee agrees that so long as the Lease is in
full force and effect and Tenant is not in default in the payment of rent,
additional rent or other payments or in
the performance of any of the other terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease
on Tenant's part to be performed (beyond the period, if any, specified in the
Lease within which Tenant may cure such default).
(a) Tenant's possession of the Premises under the Lease shall
not be disturbed or interfered with by Mortgagee in the exercise of any of its
rights under the Mortgage, including any foreclosure or conveyance in lieu of
foreclosure; and
(b) Mortgagee will not join Tenant as a party defendant for the
purpose of terminating Tenant's interest and estate under the Lease in any
proceeding for foreclosure of the Mortgage.
3. Attornment.
(a) Tenant covenants and agrees that in the event of
foreclosure of the Mortgage, whether by power of sale or by court action, or
upon a transfer of the Property by conveyance in lieu of foreclosure (the
purchaser at foreclosure or the transferee in lieu of foreclosure, including
Mortgagee if it is such purchaser or transferee, being herein called "New
Owner"), Tenant shall attorn to the New Owner as Tenant's new landlord, and
agrees that the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease
between Tenant and New Owner upon all of the terms, covenants, conditions and
agreements set forth in the Lease and this Agreement, except for provisions
which are impossible for New Owner to perform; provided, however, that in no
event shall the New Owner be:
(i) liable for any act, omission, default,
misrepresentation, or breach of warranty, of any previous landlord (including
Landlord) or obligations accruing prior to New Owner's actual ownership of the
Property;
(ii) subject to any offset, defense, claim or
counterclaim which Tenant might be entitled to assert against any previous
landlord (including Landlord);
(iii) bound by any payment of rent, additional rent or
other payments, made by Tenant to any previous landlord (including Landlord) for
more than one (1) month in advance;
(iv) bound by any amendment, or modification of the Lease
hereafter made, or consent, or acquiescence by any previous landlord (including
Landlord) under the Lease to any assignment or sublease hereafter granted,
without the written consent of Mortgagee; or
(v) liable for any deposit that Tenant may have given to
any previous landlord (including Landlord) which has not, as such, been
transferred to New Owner.
(b) The provisions of this Agreement regarding attornment by
Tenant shall be self-operative and effective without the necessity of execution
of any new lease or other document on the part of any party hereto or the
respective heirs, legal representatives, successors or assigns of any such
party. Tenant agrees, however, to execute and deliver upon the request of
New Owner, any instrument or certificate which in the reasonable judgment of New
Owner may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such attornment, including a
new lease of the Premises on the same terms and conditions as the Lease for the
unexpired term of the Lease.
4. Estoppel Certificate. Tenant agrees to execute and deliver from
time to time, upon the request of Landlord or of any holder(s) of any of the
indebtedness or obligations secured by the Mortgage, a certificate regarding the

the Lease, (d) the nature of any amendments or modifications of the Lease, (e)
to the best of Tenant's knowledge no default, or state of facts which with the

5. Acknowledgment and Agreed by Tenant. Tenant acknowledges and
agrees as follows:
(a) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord will execute and deliver
to Mortgagee in connection with the financing of the Property that certain
Assignment of Leases dated September 9, 1999. Tenant hereby expressly consents
to such assignment and agrees that such assignment shall, in all respects, be
superior to any interest Tenant has in the Lease of the Property, subject to the
provisions of this Agreement. Tenant will not amend, alter or waive any
provision of, or consent to the amendment, alteration or waiver of any provision
of the Lease without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. Tenant shall not
prepay any rents or other sums due under the lease for more than one (1) month
in advance of the due date therefor. Tenant acknowledges that Mortgagee will
rely upon this instrument in connection with such financing.
(b) Mortgagee, in making any disbursements to Landlord, is
under no obligation or duty to oversee or direct the application of the proceeds
of such disbursements, and such proceeds may be used by Landlord for purposes
other than improvement of the Property.
(c) From and after the date hereof, in the event of any act or
omission by Landlord which would give Tenant the right, either immediately or
after the lapse of time, to terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total
eviction, Tenant will not exercise any such right (i) until it has given written
notice of such act or omission to the Mortgagee; and (ii) until the same period
of time as is given to Landlord under the Lease to cure such act or omission
shall have elapsed following such giving of notice to Mortgagee and following
the time when Mortgagee shall have become entitled under the Mortgage to remedy
the same, but in any event 30 days after receipt of such notice or such longer
period of time as may be necessary to cure or remedy such default, act, or
omission including such period of time necessary to obtain possession of the
Property and thereafter cure such default, act, or omission, during which period
of time Mortgagee shall be permitted to cure or remedy such default, act or
omission; provided, however, that Mortgagee shall have no duty or obligation to
cure or remedy any breach or
default. It is specifically agreed that Tenant shall not, as to Mortgagee,
require cure of any such default which is personal to Landlord, and therefore
not susceptible to cure by Mortgagee.
(d) In the event that Mortgagee notifies Tenant of a default
under the Mortgage, Note, or Security Documents and demands that Tenant pay its
rent and all other sums due under the Lease directly to Mortgagee, Tenant shall
honor such demand and pay the full amount of its rent and all other sums due
under the Lease directly to Mortgagee, without offset, or as otherwise required
pursuant to such notice beginning with the payment next due after such notice of
default, without inquiry as to whether a default actually exists under the
Mortgage, Security Documents or otherwise in connection with the Note, and
notwithstanding any contrary instructions of or demands from Landlord.
(e) Tenant shall send a copy of any notice or statement under
the Lease to Mortgagee at the same time such notice or statement is sent to
Landlord if such notice or statement has a material impact on the economic terms
operating covenants or duration of the Lease.
(f) Tenant has no right or option of any nature whatsoever,
whether pursuant to the Lease or otherwise, to purchase the Premises or the
Property, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, and to the extent that
Tenant has had, or hereafter acquires, any such right or option, same is hereby
acknowledged to be subject and subordinate to the Mortgage and is hereby waived
and released as against Mortgagee and New Owner.
(g) This Agreement satisfies any condition or requirement in
the Lease relating to the granting of a non-disturbance agreement and Tenant
waives any requirement to the contrary in the Lease.
(h) Mortgagee and any New Owner shall have no liability to
Tenant or any other party for any conflict between the provisions of the Lease
and the provisions of any other lease affecting the Property, including, but not
limited to, any provisions relating to exclusive or non-conforming uses or
rights, renewal options and options to expand, and in the event of such a
conflict, Tenant shall have no right to cancel the Lease or take any other
remedial action against Mortgagee or New Owner, or against any other party for
which Mortgagee or any New Owner would be liable.
(i) Mortgagee and any New Owner shall have no obligation nor
incur any liability with respect to the erection or completion of the
improvements in which the Premises are located or for completion of the Premises
or any improvements for Tenant's use and occupancy, either at the commencement
of the term of the Lease or upon any renewal or extension thereof or upon the
addition of additional space, pursuant to any expansion rights contained in the
Lease.
(j) Mortgagee and any New Owner shall have no obligation nor
incur any liability with respect to any warranties of any nature whatsoever,
whether pursuant to the Lease or otherwise, including, without limitation, any
warranties respecting use, compliance with zoning, Landlord's title, Landlord's
authority, habitability, fitness for purpose or possession.
(k) In the event that Mortgagee or any New Owner shall acquire
title to the Premises or the Property, Mortgagee or such New Owner shall have no
obligation, nor incur any liability, beyond Mortgagee's or New Owner's then
equity interest, if any, in the Property or the Premises, and Tenant shall look
exclusively to such equity interest of Mortgagee or New Owner, if any, for the
payment and discharge of any obligations imposed upon Mortgagee or New Owner
hereunder or under the Lease or for recovery of any judgment from Mortgagee, or
New Owner, and in no event shall Mortgagee, New Owner, nor any of their
respective officers, directors, shareholders, agents, representatives, servants,
employees or partners ever be personally liable for such judgment.
(l) Tenant has never permitted, and will not permit, the
generation, treatment, storage or disposal of any hazardous substance as defined
under federal, state, or local law, on the Premises or Property except for such
substances of a type and only in a quantity normally used in connection with the
occupancy or operation of buildings (such as non-flammable cleaning fluids and
supplies normally used in the day to day operation of first class establishments
similar to the Improvements), which substances are being held, stored, and used
in strict compliance with federal, state, and local laws. Tenant shall be solely
responsible for and shall reimburse and indemnify Landlord, New Owner or
Mortgagee, as applicable, for any loss, liability, claim or expense, including
without limitation, cleanup and all other expenses, including, without
limitation, legal fees that Landlord, New Owner or Mortgagee, as applicable, may
incur by reason of Tenant's violation of the requirements of this Paragraph
5(l).
6. Acknowledgment and Agreement by Landlord. Landlord, as landlord
under the Lease and grantor under the Mortgage, acknowledges and agrees for
itself and its heirs, representatives, successors and assigns, that: (a) this
Agreement does not constitute a waiver by Mortgagee of any of its rights under
the Mortgage, Note, or Security Documents, or in any way release Landlord from
its obligations to comply with the terms, provisions, conditions, covenants,
agreements and clauses of the Mortgage, Note, or Security Documents; (b) the
provisions of the Mortgage, Note, or Security Documents remain in full force and
effect and must be complied with by Landlord, and (c) Tenant is hereby
authorized to pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease directly to
Mortgagee upon receipt of a notice as set forth in paragraph 5(d) above from
Mortgagee and that Tenant is not obligated to inquire as to whether a default
actually exists under the Mortgage, Security Documents or otherwise in
connection with the Note. Landlord hereby releases and discharges Tenant of any
from any liability to Landlord resulting from Tenant's payment to Mortgagee in
accordance with this Agreement. Landlord represents and warrants to Mortgagee
that a true and complete copy of the Lease has been delivered by Landlord to
Mortgagee.
7. Lease Status. Landlord and Tenant certify to Mortgagee that
neither Landlord nor Tenant has knowledge of any default on the part of the
other under the Lease, that the Lease is bona fide and contains all of the
agreements of the parties thereto with respect to the letting of the Premises
and that all of the agreements and provisions therein contained are in full
force and effect.
8. Notices. All notices, requests, consents, demands and other
communications required or which any party desires to give hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given or furnished if delivered by
personal delivery, by telegram, telex, or facsimile, by expedited delivery
service with proof of delivery, or by registered or certified United States

(unless changed by similar notice in writing given by the particular party whose

address and in the manner provided herein, or, in the case of telegram, telex or
facsimile, upon receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of change of
address shall be effective except upon receipt. This Paragraph 8 shall not be
construed in any way to affect or impair any waiver of notice or demand provided

demand to or upon any person in any situation or for any reason.

Agreement shall terminate, and thereupon all such obligations and liabilities
shall be the responsibility of the party to whom Mortgagee's interest is
assigned or transferred; and provided further that the interest of Tenant under
this Agreement may not be assigned or transferred without the prior written
consent of Mortgagee.
