          amount equal to the average Gross Sales per
          square foot from the retail operation of the
          store (based on the total Gross Sales from
          the retail operation divided by the gross
          building area).

          Percentage rent will be calculated at the
          end of each fiscal year of Tenant, which

          of calculating and paying percentage rent,
          and will be paid by Tenant within sixty
          (60) days thereafter.

          complete and accurate records showing Gross
          Sales from the leased premises.  Such records
          shall be preserved for a period of three (3)
          years and shall be available for inspection
          by Landlord following reasonable advance
          notice. 

          "3.6  Reporting.
                ---------
                Tenant shall submit to Landlord
          an annual statement of Gross Sales for
          each reporting year and any partial year
          during the lease term, within sixty (60) days
          after the end of each reporting year.  The
          statement will be certified by an officer of
          Tenant and will show Gross Sales during the
          prior reporting year or partial year. 
          Landlord agrees to hold in confidence all
          information obtained from the records of
          Tenant, except that Landlord may furnish
          copies on a confidential basis to any party
          providing financing to Landlord or purchasing
          the leased premises.

          "3.7  Landlord's Right to Audit.  
                -------------------------
                Landlord may cause the percentage rent 
          computation and the record of Gross Sales
          of Tenant to be examined at any time by an
          accountant selected by Landlord.  If such
          examination discloses that the percentage rent
          was understated, Tenant shall immediately pay
          the percentage rent to Landlord, together with
          interest on the deficiency in percentage rent
          at a rate equal to two percent (2%) per annum
          above the publicly announced prime rate of
          the 

          United States National Bank of Oregon in
          effect on the date of the billing from the
          date payment is due pursuant to paragraph 3.4
          above until payment in full.  If percentage
          rent was understated by more than two percent
          (2%), Tenant shall pay the cost of the audit. 
          If the accountant's examination reveals that
          percentage rent was not so understated,
          Landlord will pay the cost of the audit.  If
          there is a misstatement of rent by ten
          percent (10%) or more, Landlord may impose an
          additional late charge equal to five percent
          (5%) of the amount that percentage rent was
          understated, in addition to the interest on
          such understated rent as provided above.

          "3.8  Additional Rent.  
                ---------------
                All payments required to be paid by
          Tenant under this Lease, other than
          base rent and percentage rent, will
          constitute additional rent.

          "3.9  No Representations as to Sales.
                ------------------------------ 
                Landlord is not relying on any projections
          or representations by Tenant as to sales
          anticipated to be made from the leased
          premises, and there is, and shall be, no
          express or implied covenant regarding the
          sales by Tenant." 

     3.   Related Provisions.
          ------------------
          In connection with the foregoing
changes to Paragraph 3 of the Lease, the following clarifications
are added to Paragraph 7 of the Lease:

          "There is, and shall be, no express or
          implied covenant to operate business on the
          leased premises; provided, that in the event
          operation of business from sixty percent
          (60%) or more of the gross building area of
          the improvements on the leased premises is to
          be discontinued for a continuous period of at
          least one (1) year for any reason other than
          (a) strikes, lockouts or other labor
          difficulties, acts of God, the requirements
          of any local, state or federal law, rule or
          regulation, fire or other casualty,
          condemnation, war, riot, insurrection or any
          other reason beyond Tenant's reasonable
          control, or (b) temporary closure due to the
          restoration, reconstruction, expansion,
          alteration, modification or remodeling of any
          improvements located on the leased premises,
          then Tenant shall, at least thirty (30) days
          prior to discontinuing such operations, but
          not more than six (6) months prior to
          discontinuing such operations, provide
          written notice to Landlord that Tenant
          intends to discontinue operation of business
          from sixty percent (60%) or more of the gross
          building area of the improvements on the
          leased premises (the "Notice of 


          Election"). 
          The Notice of Election will include the
          anticipated date on which Tenant intends to
          discontinue operation of business.  Landlord
          shall have the right to terminate this Lease
          by written notice to Tenant, such notice to
          be delivered to Tenant within one hundred
          eighty (180) days after Landlord's receipt of
          the Notice of Election ("Landlord's
          Termination Notice").  Landlord's Termination
          Notice will not be effective until Tenant
          actually discontinues operation of business
          from sixty percent (60%) or more of the gross
          building area of the improvements on the
          leased premises and the expiration of at
          least thirty (30) days from and after the
          delivery of Landlord's Termination Notice to
          Tenant.  Upon the effective date of such
          termination, neither party will have any
          further obligation to the other under the
          Lease (other than obligations accrued through
          the effective date of termination of the
          Lease).  If Landlord does not give a
          Landlord's Termination Notice within such one
          hundred eighty (180)-day period, then the
          procedures for Landlord to have a termination
          right under the foregoing "go dark" proviso
          and the restrictions on assignment and
          subletting and procedures for Landlord to
          have a termination right under
          Paragraph 7(a), as revised in Section 5
          (Assignment) below, are waived and terminated
          and will have no further force or effect. 
          Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the
          period starting on the date hereof and ending
          on October 31, 1996, if Tenant gives a Notice
          of Election and if Landlord does not give a
          Landlord's Termination Notice as provided
          above, then the procedures for Landlord to
          have a termination right under the foregoing
          "go dark" proviso and the restrictions on
          assignment and subletting and procedures for
          Landlord to have a termination right under
          Paragraph 7(a), as revised below, will be
          deemed waived and terminated only if Tenant,
          within one (1) year of its Notice of
          Election, causes operation of business from
          sixty percent (60%) or more of the gross
          building area of the improvements on the
          leased premises to be discontinued and such
          discontinuance continues for at least one (1)
          year or if Tenant, within one (1) year of its
          Notice of Election, assigns this Lease or
          sublets more than twenty-five percent (25%)
          of the gross building area. 

          Paragraph 7(d) of the Lease is applicable only after
and during the continuance of a default by Tenant and is subject
to Landlord's compliance with the provisions of the Lease and
applicable law concerning Landlord's re-entry and regaining
possession of the leased premises. 



     4.   Casualty.
          --------
          Paragraph 7(g)(4) of the Lease shall be deleted
in its entirety and the following language is substituted
therefor:

          "In the event of a casualty to any building
          located on the leased premises, and Tenant
          restores such building or constructs a new
          building on the leased premises, the
          insurance proceeds under the policies of
          insurance maintained by Tenant shall be paid
          to Tenant to the extent necessary to so
          restore or reconstruct, and any unused
          balance shall be paid to Landlord or its
          Lender.  In the event of a casualty after
          which Tenant chooses not to restore or
          reconstruct, or in the event of a casualty to
          the leased premises that would allow Tenant
          to elect to terminate the Lease and Tenant so
          elects to terminate the Lease then the
          insurance proceeds, together with any self-
          insured retention or deductible amount (which
          shall be paid by Tenant) shall be paid to
          Landlord or its Lender."

     5.   Assignment.
          ----------
          Paragraph 7(a) of the Lease, as previously
amended, shall be deleted in its entirety and the following
language is substituted therefor:

          "Tenant shall not, without the prior written
          consent of Landlord, or compliance with the
          procedures set forth in the following
          paragraph, assign this lease or sublease all
          or any part of the leased premises, except as
          otherwise set forth below.  Any consent to
          any such transfer shall apply only to the
          specific act authorized and shall not be
          construed as a waiver of the restriction on
          transfer contained in this Lease.  However,
          notwithstanding any other provision of this
          Lease, Tenant may: (i) assign or transfer its
          interest as lessee under the Lease without
          Landlord's consent or compliance with the
          procedures set forth below in connection with
          the consolidation, merger, acquisition, or
          sale of Tenant, or substantially all of the
          assets of Tenant, or to a wholly owned
          subsidiary of Tenant, or in connection with a
          sale-leaseback transaction; and/or (ii)
          sublease twenty-five percent (25%) or less of
          the gross building area of the improvements
          on the leased premises from time to time.

          "In the event Tenant desires to assign this
          Lease or sublet more than twenty-five percent
          (25%) of the gross building area of the
          improvements on the leased premises, and if
          Landlord's consent is required under the
          terms of the foregoing paragraph, the parties
          will follow the following procedures:  



          "    (a)  Tenant will notify Landlord in
          writing that Tenant intends to assign this
          Lease or sublet more than twenty-five percent
          (25%) of the gross building area of the
          improvements on the leased premises
          ("Tenant's Notice").

          "    (b)  Landlord will have the right,
          within one hundred eighty (180) days after
          receipt of Tenant's Notice, to cancel this
          Lease by written notice of cancellation to
          Tenant, in which event the Lease will
          terminate eighty (80) days after receipt of
          such notice unless Tenant, within such eighty
          (80)-day period discontinues its plan to
          assign the Lease or sublet more than twenty-
          five percent (25%) of the gross building area
          of the improvements on the leased premises.

          "    (c)  If Landlord does not notify Tenant
          of its election to cancel the Lease within
          such one hundred eighty (180) day period, as
          referenced in subparagraph (b) above, then
          the restrictions on assignment and subletting
          and procedures to have a termination right
          under the foregoing paragraphs and the
          procedures for Landlord to have a termination
          right under the "go dark" proviso in
          Section 3 (Related Provisions) above are
          waived and terminated and will have no
          further force or effect.  Notwithstanding the
          foregoing, during the period starting on the
          date hereof and ending on October 31, 1996,
          if Tenant gives a Tenant's Notice and if
          Landlord does not notify Tenant of its
          election to cancel the Lease within the one
          hundred eighty (180)-day period provided
          above, the restrictions on assignment and
          subletting and procedures to have a
          termination right under the foregoing
          paragraphs and the procedures for Landlord to
          have a termination right under the "go dark"
          proviso in Section 3 (Related Provisions)
          above will be deemed waived and terminated
          only if Tenant assigns this Lease or sublets
          more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
          gross building area within one (1) year of
          the Tenant's Notice. 

          "    (d)  In the case of an assignment, the
          transferee will assume the obligations under
          this Lease accruing from and after the date
          of transfer, and Tenant will not be released
          by Landlord from its liability under the
          Lease (except as otherwise specifically
          approved in writing by Landlord)." 



     6.   Subordination to Mortgages.
          --------------------------
          The following new Paragraph 10 is added to the Lease:  

          "10.  Subordination to Mortgages.
                --------------------------
                This Lease, at Landlord's option,
          shall be subordinate to the lien of any trust
          deed or mortgage subsequently placed upon
          the leased premises, and to any and all
          advances made on the security thereof,
          and to all renewals, modifications,
          consolidations, replacements and extensions
          thereof; provided, however, that this
          provision shall apply only if the
          lender who receives the benefit of the
          subordination enters into an written non-
          disturbance agreement stating that Tenant's
          right to quiet possession of the leased
          premises shall not be disturbed and that
          condemnation and insurance proceeds shall be
          used for the purposes set forth in the Lease,
          so long as Tenant pays the rent and observes
          and performs all of the provisions of this
          Lease."  

     Landlord shall endeavor to obtain a similar non-disturbance
agreement with any lender whose trust deed or mortgage encumbers
the leased premises as of the date of this Agreement.

     7.   Insurance.
          ---------
          The following new Paragraph 11 is added to
the Lease:

          "11.  Self-Insurance.
                --------------
                Tenant may satisfy the insurance
          requirements of this Lease by self-insurance
          to an extent which is reasonable in relation
          to its financial worth.  Landlord has approved
          Tenant's current coverages, deductibles and
          self-insurance arrangements as set forth in
          documents previously delivered to Landlord." 

     8.   Cooperation by Landlord.
          -----------------------
          The following new Paragraph 12 is added to the Lease:

          "12.  Landlord hereby approves (and agrees not
          to remonstrate against) any actions or
          applications by Tenant, at Tenant's cost,  to
          obtain a vacation of the portion of the public
          street which is situated between the home
          improvement center parcel and the main
          building parcel on the leased premises.  Any
          vacated street area that accrues to such
          parcels upon vacation will be deemed
          automatically added to and incorporated into
          the Lease (without change to the rent to be
          paid).  Upon reasonable request from time to
          time, Landlord shall join with Tenant in any
          application, consent, grant of easement or
          license or other instrument as shall be
          reasonably necessary or 

          convenient to allow
          development or use of the leased premises by
          Tenant, so long as the use or value of the
          leased premises is not thereby adversely
          affected." 

     9.   Condition Precedent.  
          -------------------
          Effectiveness of this Agreement shall be conditioned
upon completion of the assignment of the Lease from Tenant to
Fred Meyer, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

     10.  Ratification.  
          ------------
          Except as herein modified the Lease is hereby ratified
and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect. 

     11.  Successors and Assigns.  
          ----------------------
          Each and all of the covenants, terms, agreements and
obligations of this Agreement shall extend to and bind and inure
to the benefit of the successors and/or assigns of said parties
hereto. 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this
Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
