Thousand Three Hundred Seventy Six Dollars ($656,376.00), payable in equal

($54,698.00), in advance, on the first day of each month for that month's rent,
during the term of this lease. All rental payments shall be made to Lessor at
the address specified above.
2. RENEWAL OPTION. Provided that Lessee is not in default in the
performance of this lease, Lessee shall have the option to renew this lease for
an additional term of five (5) years commencing on August 1, 2011, and
terminating on July 31, 2016, or sooner as provided herein, under the same terms
and conditions applicable to the original term, including the rental amount and
timing of rental payments. The option shall be exercised by written notice given
to Lessor no later than April 30, 2011. If notice is not given in the manner
provided herein within the time specified, this option shall expire.
3. USE. Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises for garment-related
activities. The Premises shall be used for no other purpose. Lessor represents
that the Premises may be lawfully used for such purposes.
4. CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF PREMISES. Lessee acknowledges that the Premises
are in good order and repair, unless otherwise indicated herein. Lessee shall,
at its own expense and at all times, maintain the Premises in good and safe
condition, and shall surrender the same, at termination hereof, in as good
condition as received, normal wear and tear excepted. Lessee shall be
responsible for all repairs required. Lessee shall also maintain in good
condition such portions adjacent to the Premises (e.g., sidewalks, driveways,
lawns and shrubbery) that would otherwise be required to be maintained by
Lessor.
5. ALTERATIONS. Lessee shall not, without first obtaining the written
consent of Lessor, make any alterations, additions, or improvements in, to, or
about the Premises.
6. ORDINANCES AND STATUTES. Lessee shall comply with all statutes,
ordinances and requirements of all municipal, state and federal authorities, now
in force or that may hereafter be in force, pertaining to the Premises,
occasioned by or affecting the use thereof by Lessee.
7. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Lessee shall not assign this lease, or
sublet any portion of the Premises, without the prior written consent of Lessor,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any assignment or subletting
without consent shall be void and, at the option of Lessor, may terminate this
lease.
8. UTILITIES. All applications and connections for necessary utility
services on the Premises shall be made in the name of Lessee, who shall be
solely liable for utility charges as they become due, including those for sewer,
water, gas, electricity, and telephone services.
9. ENTRY AND INSPECTION. Lessee shall permit Lessor or Lessor's agents to
enter upon the Premises at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice for the
purpose of inspecting the same, and will permit Lessor, at any time within
ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of this lease, to place upon the
Premises any usual "For Lease" signs, and permit persons desiring to lease the
same to inspect the Premises thereafter.
10. POSSESSION. If Lessor is unable to deliver possession of the Premises
at the commencement hereof, Lessor shall not be liable for any damage caused
thereby, nor shall this lease be void or voidable, but Lessee shall not be
liable for any rent until possession is delivered. Lessee may terminate this
lease if possession is not delivered within thirty (30) days of the commencement
of the term hereof.
11. INDEMNIFICATION OF LESSOR. Lessor shall not be liable for any damage or
injury to Lessee, or any other person, or to any property, occurring on the
Premises or any part thereof, and Lessee agrees to hold Lessor harmless from any
claims for damages, no matter how caused.
12. INSURANCE. Lessee shall, at all times during the term of this lease, at
Lessee's expense, maintain liability insurance that includes coverage for bodily
injury and property damage on the Premises, in commercially reasonable coverage
amounts. Lessor shall be named as an additional insured under such insurance
policies, and Lessee shall provide Lessor with a Certificate of Insurance
showing Lessor as an additional insured. The Certificate of Insurance shall
provide for a ten-day written notice to Lessor in the event of cancellation or
material change of coverage. To the maximum extent permitted by insurance
policies that may be owned by Lessor or Lessee, Lessee and Lessor, for the
benefit of each other, waive any and all rights of subrogation that might
otherwise exist.
13. EMINENT DOMAIN. If the Premises or any part thereof or any estate
therein, shall be taken by eminent domain, this lease shall terminate on the
date when title vests pursuant to such taking. The rent shall be apportioned as
of the termination date, and any rent prepaid for any period beyond that date
shall be returned to Lessee. Lessee shall not be entitled to any part of the
award for such taking or any payment in lieu thereof, but Lessee may file a
claim for any taking of fixtures and improvements owned by Lessee, and for
moving expenses.
14. DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES. In the event of a partial destruction of the
Premises during the term hereof, from any cause, Lessor shall forthwith repair
the same, provided that such repairs can be made within sixty (60) days under
existing government laws and regulations, but such partial destruction shall not
terminate this lease, except that Lessee shall be entitled to a
2
proportionate reduction of rent while such repairs are being made, based upon
the extent to which making such repairs shall interfere with the business of
Lessee on the Premises. If such repairs cannot be made within said sixty (60)
days, Lessor, at his option, may make the same within a reasonable time, this
lease continuing in effect with the rent proportionately abated as aforesaid,
and in the event that Lessor shall not elect to make such repairs which cannot
be made within sixty (60) days, this lease may be terminated at the option of
either party. A total destruction of the building on the Premises shall
terminate this lease.
15. LESSOR'S REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If Lessee defaults in the payment of
rent, or defaults in the performance of any of the other covenants or conditions
hereof, Lessor may give Lessee notice of such default and if Lessee does not
cure any such default within thirty (30) days, after the giving of such notice
(or if such other default is of such nature that it cannot be completely cured
within such period, if Lessee does not commence such curing within thirty (30)
days and thereafter proceeds with reasonable diligence and in good faith to cure
such default), then Lessor may terminate this Lease at the end of the thirty
(30) day cure period. Lessee shall then quit and surrender the Premises to
Lessor, but Lessee shall remain liable as hereinafter provided. If this lease
shall have been so terminated, Lessor may at any time thereafter resume
possession of the Premises by any lawful means and remove Lessee or other
occupants and their effects. No failure to enforce any term shall be deemed a
waiver.
16. TAX INCREASE. In the event there is any increase during any year of the
term of this lease in the City, County or State real estate taxes over and above
the amount of such taxes assessed for the tax year during which this lease
commences, whether because of increased rate or valuation, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor upon presentation of paid tax bills an amount equal to 100 percent of the
increase in taxes upon the Premises, including the land and the building on the
Premises. In the event that such taxes are assessed for a tax year extending
beyond the term of the lease, the obligation of Lessee shall be proportionate to
the portion of the lease term included in such year.
17. ATTORNEY'S FEES. In the event Lessor initiates a legal action to
recover the Premises, or for any sum due hereunder, or because of any act that
may arise out of Lessee's use or possession of the Premises, Lessee shall
reimburse Lessor for all costs incurred in connection with such action,
including reasonable attorney's fees.
18. NOTICES. Any notice that either party may or is required to give, shall
be given by mailing the same, postage prepaid, to Lessee at the Premises, or
Lessor at the address shown above, or at such other places as may be designated
by the parties from time to time.
19. SUBORDINATION. This lease is and shall be subordinated to all existing
and future liens and encumbrances against the property.
20. MISCELLANEOUS. This lease supercedes and replaces any other preceding
written or oral agreements or understandings between the parties with respect to
the subject matter herein. No addition or modification to this lease shall be
valid unless made in writing. This lease may not be assigned by Lessee without
the prior written consent of Lessor. Subject to the foregoing restraint on
assignment, this lease shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of
all
3
successors and assigns of the parties. No failure of Lessor to enforce any term
hereof shall be deemed to be a waiver. This lease may be executed in
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken
together, shall constitute one and the same agreement. The Article headings are
provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for
interpretation or construction of this lease. This is a negotiated agreement and
shall be construed to have been drafted by both parties.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have entered into this lease as of date
first written above.
