                                 EXHIBIT "A"

                                  GUARANTEE

     Reference is made to a Shopping Center Lease (the "Lease") dated June 6, 
1988, between DOUGLAS W. BRADFORD (hereinafter referred to as "Landlord"), 
and HOMECLUB, INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as 
"Tenant"), of certain premises within the shopping center in Chico, 
California, located at the intersection of Whitman Avenue and 20th Street.

     In consideration of Landlord's having executed said Lease at the request 
of Zayre Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Zayre" or "Guarantor"), and in 
further consideration of One Dollar and other valuable consideration paid, 
the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Zayre hereby unconditionally 
guarantees to Landlord and his heirs, personal representatives, successors 
and assigns the payment of the rent provided for in said Lease and the 
performance and observance of all agreements and conditions contained in said 
Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed. At Landlord's 
election, Zayre may be brought into any action or proceeding commenced by 
Landlord against Tenant in connection with and based upon said Lease, or any 
provision thereof, prior to obtaining a judgment against Tenant therein. 
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Zayre shall have 
all defenses and rights of Tenant and its successors and assigns (except 
their financial disability) with respect to the performance and payments 
under the Lease and the obligations of Zayre hereunder shall be measured by 
and shall in no event be greater than the obligations of Tenant. Zayre hereby 
agrees that it shall in no way be released from its obligations under this 
Guarantee by any of the following actions: any assignment of said Lease or 
any subletting of the demised premises by Tenant, any Leasehold Lender, or 
any subtenant, successor, or assignee of Tenant, any new Lease with Leasehold 
Lender or party designated by such Lender as provided in Section 18.6 of the 
Lease, any waiver of default or any extension of time or other favor or 
indulgence granted by Landlord to Tenant, any failure to receive notice of 
any of said actions, the expiration or termination of the Lease (except as 
provided below), or any extension of the terms of the Lease in accordance 
with the provisions of the Lease. Zayre hereby waives notice of non-payment 
or any other default in the performance or observance of any agreement or 
condition contained in said Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed or 
observed.

     Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding: (A) if said Lease shall 
be terminated pursuant to the provisions of Article 12 of said Lease at a 
time when the tenant in




possession shall not be Zayre, or a subsidiary of Zayre, then Zayre shall not 
be liable for the payment of any rent or for the performance or observance of 
any agreements or conditions to be paid, performed or observed which become 
due or arise after the date of such termination, unless at the time of such 
termination Landlord shall have offered to Zayre in writing a Lease for the 
balance of the Lease Term (as defined in the Lease) upon the provisions in 
said Lease contained; Zayre shall have a period of sixty (60) days after 
receipt of such offer to accept such offer. If Zayre accepts Landlord's 
offer, then such Lease shall be deemed to mitigate Landlord's damages.

     (B) If Tenant is adjudicated bankrupt, or if any bankruptcy action 
involving Tenant is commenced or filed, or if a petition or reorganization, 
arrangement, or similar relief is filed against Tenant, then subject to the 
foregoing at such time as the trustee or administrator rejects the Lease, 
Zayre shall pay to Landlord all accrued, unpaid rent upon the condition that 
within thirty (30) days following notice to Landlord of such rejection 
Landlord shall have offered to Zayre in writing a Lease for the balance of 
the Lease Term upon the provisions of the Lease, including payment of the 
rental obligations as provided above, which offer must remain open for not 
less than sixty (60) days after receipt of such written offer. If Zayre 
accepts Landlord's offer, then such Lease shall be deemed to mitigate 
Landlord's damages.

     In the event that any legal action or other proceeding is commenced with 
respect to this Guarantee, the unsuccessful party shall reimburse the 
prevailing party for all reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred in 
connection therewith, including, without limitation all such fees or costs 
incurred on any appeal from such action or proceeding.

     This Guarantee shall bind the successors and assigns of Guarantor, and 
it shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, personal representations, 
successors and assigns of Landlord. Guarantor further agrees that Landlord 
may, without approval, assign its rights under this Guarantee, in whole or in 
part, to any person or entity obtaining an ownership interest or security 
interest of any nature in the Lease, provided that, unless Tenant is a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of Guarantor at the time, Landlord shall give notice 
of such assignment within thirty (30) days thereof to Guarantor.

     This Guarantee shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, 
the laws of the State of California.




     No provisions of this Guarantee or right of Landlord hereunder can be 
waived in whole or in part, nor can Zayre be released from Zayre's 
obligations hereunder, except either by a) a writing duly executed by 
Landlord and an authorized officer of Landlord's lender, if any, holding a 
lien upon the Demised Premises as defined in the Lease, b) operation of law, 
or c) operation of the Lease.

     Zayre represents that HomeClub is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zayre.

     Zayre has caused this Guarantee to be executed and its corporate seal to 
be hereto affixed by Maurice Segall, its President, and George Freeman, its 
Vice President hereunto duly authorized all as of the 6th day of June, 1988.

                    HOMECLUB, INC. SHOPPING CENTER LEASE

           Lease dated June 6, 1988, between DOUGLAS W. BRADFORD, as Landlord 
(hereinafter referred to as "Landlord"), and HOMECLUB, INC., a Delaware 
corporation, as Tenant (hereinafter referred to as "Tenant").

                                  ARTICLE I

                                  PREMISES

    1.1   In consideration of the rents, agreements and conditions herein 
reserved and contained on the part of Tenant to be paid, performed and 
observed, Landlord does hereby demise and lease to Tenant, for the term 
hereinafter set forth, the premises described in Schedule A attached hereto 
as the Demised Premises (the "Demised Premises") consisting of 103,909 square 
feet of building space plus 9,880 square feet of an exterior nursery area 
within the shopping center described in Schedule A as the Shopping Center 
(the "Shopping Center").


    1.2   Landlord warrants to Tenant that Tenant while operating a retail 
and/or wholesale home improvement store together with an exterior garden shop 
and lumber area will not be in violation of any exclusives or other 
agreements which Landlord may have with other tenants, lenders, governmental 
entities or any other parties, and Landlord further warrants: (i) that the 
Demised Premises are zoned to permit use of the Demised Premises as a retail 
and wholesale general merchandiser, including without limitation, the sale of 
home improvement merchandise including lumber sales and a garden shop, 
(ii) the real property described in Schedule A (excluding groundwater, except 
that Landlord represents that it has no information regarding onsite 
groundwater contamination or, to the extent caused by onsite contamination, 
any offsite contamination) is free from contamination by any hazardous or 
toxic substances, waste, or constituents, including any hydrocarbonic 
substances, and (iii) as of the Commencement Date no building, health, 
safety, or environmental laws, ordinances or regulations of public 
authorities having jurisdiction materially restrict in any way the conduct of 
a retail and/or wholesale home improvement store throughout the Demised 
Premises or the sale therein of any and all merchandise and services 
connected therewith. Landlord hereby indemnifies Tenant against any claims or 
damages suffered or claimed to be suffered as a result of any breach of the 
foregoing warranties pertaining to Tenant's use of the Demised Premises.

                                  ARTICLE II

                        TITLE AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS

    2.1   Landlord has furnished Tenant with two preliminary title reports 
covering the Demised Premises and the Shopping Center issued 

                                      -1-


by First American Title Insurance Company (the "Title Company") as Order No. 
BU-96705 (dated as of February 10, 1988; hereafter "Title Report Lot 9"), and 
Order No. BU-96705-A (dated as of February 10, 1988; "Title Report Lot 4") 
(collectively, the "Title Report"), together with copies of all the documents 
referred to therein and a survey prepared in accordance with ALTA standards 
(collectively the "Title Evidence"). Tenant will permit as exceptions to 
title, exception numbers 1, 2, 3 and 6 as shown on Title Report Lot 4, and 1, 
2, 3 and 6, as shown on Title Report Lot 9 (the "Permitted Exceptions"). If 
any exceptions which are not Permitted Exceptions (the "Unpermitted 
Exceptions") exist, Landlord shall have fifteen (15) days after the execution 
of this lease to provide evidence to Tenant that it has caused or will cause 
such Unpermitted Exceptions to be removed of record or agree to provide an 
endorsement to the Leasehold Title Policy (as hereinafter defined) over such 
Unpermitted Exceptions, which endorsement shall be in form and substance 
acceptable to Tenant. If Landlord shall fail in said fifteen (15) days to 
either cause the removal of such Unpermitted Exceptions or to agree to 
provide an endorsement over such Unpermitted Exceptions, then Tenant shall 
have the right to terminate this lease by giving Landlord written notice 
within ten (10) days after the end of said fifteen (15) day period. If Tenant 
shall fail within said ten (10) days to give such notice of termination to 
Landlord, then thereafter the Unpermitted Exceptions shall be deemed 
Permitted Exceptions. Landlord shall promptly cause the Title Company to 
issue its ALTA Leasehold Owner's Title Insurance Policy including extended 
coverage to Tenant, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, insuring 
Tenant's leasehold estate in the Demised Premises, with liability in the 
amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) (the "Leasehold Title 
Policy"). If Landlord fails to provide Tenant with the Leasehold Title Policy 
as required herein, Tenant may terminate this lease, and neither Landlord nor 
Tenant shall have any claims against the other in connection with this lease. 
Subject to Tenant's approval, Landlord may cause a plat of subdivision to be 
prepared and recorded which shows the Demised Premises as a separate legally 
subdivided lot or parcel. Thereafter, Landlord shall promptly (i) prepare a 
revised short form lease reflecting the revised legal description of the 
Demised Premises, and (ii) cause an endorsement to be issued to the Leasehold 
Title Policy to reflect the legal description of the Demised Premises as 
subdivided.

    2.2   Simultaneously with the execution of this lease Landlord and Tenant 
shall execute an instrument, substantially in the form attached hereto as 
Schedule F, recordable in form, setting forth the parties, a description of 
the Demised Premises and the Shopping Center, the Lease Term and such other 
provisions of this lease as may be reasonably requested by either party to 
constitute a "short form lease" or other instrument adequate, in the opinion 
of Tenant, for recording purposes. Without expense to Tenant, Landlord shall 
cause said short form lease or other instrument to be recorded in the 
appropriate land records upon, and only upon, request by Tenant that same be 
recorded. After the Commencement Date shall be fixed, upon the written 
request of either Landlord or Tenant, Landlord and Tenant will enter into an 
amended "short form lease" or other such instrument to fix the Commencement 
Date of record which amended short form of 

                                   -2-


lease shall be recorded by Landlord upon, and only upon, Tenant's request for 
recording thereof.

    2.3   Tenant shall cause Zayre Corp., a Delaware corporation, 
("Guarantor") to execute a lease guaranty  in the form as that attached 
hereto as Schedule E and deliver such guaranty to Landlord within ten (10) 
business days from the date of lease execution by Tenant.

    2.4   It is a condition of Tenant's obligations under this lease that 
Food 4 Less Market or a substitute market of like quality and size with ten 
(10) or more stores in operation in California (the "Inducement Tenant") 
shall sign a lease with Landlord for 40,000 or more square feet of floor 
space within the Shopping Center by June 15, 1988 or at which time Landlord 
purchases the property described in Schedule A as the Shopping Center, 
whichever date is earlier (the "Inducement Condition"). If the Inducement 
Tenant has not opened for business prior to March 1, 1989, Tenant may have 
the "Minimum Rent" (defined hereinafter) reduced as provided in Section 
5.1(E) herein.

                                  ARTICLE III

                     CONSTRUCTION AND PRE-TERM OCCUPANCY

    3.1   CONSTRUCTION.  Landlord agrees that the work described in Schedule 
C attached hereto as "Landlord's Construction Work" will be commenced 
promptly after the approval of the detailed plans and specifications provided 
for in Schedule C, and that Landlord's Construction Work will be prosecuted 
to completion with due diligence and shall be done at Landlord's own cost and 
expense.

    3.2   PRE-TERM OCCUPANCY.  Tenant shall have the right, without payment 
of rent or other charge, after the execution of this lease and prior to the 
"Commencement Date" (hereinafter defined), upon timely notice given to 
Landlord, to enter the Demised Premises to inspect the same and to make such 
improvements thereto as it shall have the right to make and install therein 
fixtures, supplies, merchandise and other property. Tenant agrees that any 
such entry and the making of any such improvements and any such installation 
shall be done without unreasonably hampering Landlord's construction of the 
Demised Premises and without creating additional cost for the Landlord. No 
such entry by Tenant shall be deemed an acceptance of the Demised Premises. 
Until the Commencement Date, Landlord shall pay the cost of water, sewer, 
electricity, gas, heat, air conditioning and other utilities available upon 
the Demised Premises; and until such time Tenant shall have the right to use, 
without charge, water, sewer, electricity, gas, heat, air conditioning and 
other utilities available upon the Demised Premises. Prior to the 
Commencement Date while Tenant may be making improvements to the Demised 
Premises or installing in the Demised Premises fixtures, supplies, 
merchandise and other property, as hereinabove provided, Tenant shall be in 
the Demised Premises at its own risk and shall save Landlord harmless from, 
and defend and indemnify Landlord against, any and all injury to person or 
property caused by or resulting from any act, omission or negligence of 
Tenant or any agent or employee of Tenant. It is a condition of this save

                                   -3-


harmless and indemnification that Tenant shall receive notice of any such 
claim against Landlord.

                                  ARTICLE IV
 
                                  LEASE TERM

    4.1   ORIGINAL TERM.  The original term of this lease (the "Original 
Term") shall be a period of twenty (20) years and a fraction of a month 
commencing on the "Commencement Date" (hereinafter defined), and terminating 
on the last day of the month in which the twentieth anniversary of the 
Commencement Date occurs, except, however, that if the Commencement Date 
shall be a first day of a calendar month, then the Original Term shall be the 
period of twenty (20) years commencing on the Commencement Date and 
terminating on the twentieth (20th) anniversary thereof.

    4.2   OPTIONS.  Tenant shall have the right, at its election, to extend 
the Original Term, an extension period of five (5) years commencing upon the 
expiration of the Original Term (sometimes herein referred to as an 
"Extension Period" or the "First Extension Period"), provided that Tenant 
shall give Landlord notice of the exercise of its election at least six (6) 
months prior to the expiration of the Original Term. If Tenant exercises its 
right to extend the Original Term for the First Extension Period, Tenant 
shall have the right, as its election, to further extend the Lease Term (as 
hereinafter defined) an additional extension period of five (5) years 
commencing upon the expiration of the First Extension Period (sometimes 
herein referred hereto as an "Extension Period" or the "Second Extension 
Period"), provided that Tenant shall give Landlord notice of the exercise of 
its election at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of the First 
Extension Period. If Tenant exercises its right to extend the Lease Term for 
the Second Extension Period, Tenant shall have the right, at its election, to 
further extend the Lease Term an additional extension period of five (5) years 
commencing upon the expiration of the Second Extension Period (sometimes 
herein referred to as an "Extension Period" or the "Third Extension Period"), 
provided that Tenant shall give Landlord notice of the exercise of its 
election at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Second 
Extension Period. If Tenant exercises its right to extend the Lease Term for 
the Third Extension Period, Tenant shall have the right, at its election, to 
further extend the Lease Term an additional extension period of five (5) 
years commencing upon the expiration of the Third Extension Period (sometimes 
herein referred to as an "Extension Period" or the "Fourth Extension Period") 
provided that Tenant shall give Landlord notice of the exercise of its 
election at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Third 
Extension Period. In addition to the foregoing option rights, at the end of 
the original term, if no extension has been elected, or at the end of any 
Extension Period, if no further extension has been elected, Tenant shall have 
the option to extend the Lease Term until January 31st next following (the 
"Extra Period"), provided that Tenant shall give Landlord notice of the 
exercise of its election at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of 
the Original Term or 

                                   -4-


last elected Extension Period. Prior to the exercise by Tenant of any of said 
elections under this Section 4.2 to extend the Original Term, the expression 
"Lease Term" shall mean the Original Term; after the exercise by Tenant of 
any of said  elections, the expression "Lease Term" shall mean the Original 
Term as it may have been then extended. Except as expressly otherwise 
provided in this lease, all the covenants, terms and conditions in this lease 
contained shall apply to the period or periods to which the Original Term 
shall be extended, as aforesaid. If Tenant shall give notice of the exercise 
of an election under this Section 4.2 in the manner and within the time 
provided aforesaid, the Lease Term shall be extended upon the giving of such 
notice without the requirement of any action on the part of Landlord.

    4.3   COMMENCEMENT.  An "Opening Day" shall be any Monday through Friday 
(except legal holidays) between March 1 and the following September 30. The 
"Commencement Date" shall be the first Opening Day after the later to occur 
of the following dates:

          (1)  the thirtieth (30th) day after both the completion of 
Landlord's Construction Work, and the receipt by Tenant of notice thereof 
from Landlord;

          (2)  the one hundred and fifteenth (115th) day after Landlord shall 
have delivered to Tenant all of the fully executed and acknowledged 
instruments referred to in Paragraph 11 of Schedule B, or September 30, 1988 
(or such later date as determined pursuant to Section 4.10), if said delivery 
is made on or before June 24, 1988, and within 5 days after Landlord's 
acquisition of the property for the Demised Premises;

          (3)  the forty-fifth (45th) day after the "fixture day" (as 
hereinafter defined);

          (4)  the fifty-fifth (55th) day after Tenant shall receive from 
Landlord a ten-day notice of the arrival of the fixture day;

          (5)  the tenth (10th) day after Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a 
final certificate of occupancy (or its equivalent), if the same shall be 
issuable in accordance with local law or custom;

except that if the Demised Premises shall be formally opened for business 
with customers prior to the Commencement Date determined as above provided, 
then such date of formal opening shall be the Commencement Date. The "fixture 
day" shall be the day upon which Landlord's Construction Work shall have 
progressed to such a point that the floor in the Demised Premises shall have 
been completed, all lighting and wiring shall have been completed and shall 
be operating, and the heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems 
(sometimes herein referred to as the "HVAC") shall have been installed and 
shall be operating automatically, all toilets shall be operating, all work 
requiring scaffolding shall have been completed, complete security shall have 
been established throughout the Demised Premises, the Demised Premises shall 
be in broom clean condition, the sprinkler system shall have been installed 
and shall be operating automatically and a paved 

                                   -5-


area shall have been provided which shall be adequate for access by Tenant's 
delivery vehicles from Whitman Avenue and E. 20th Street and for parking 
thereof adjacent to the front or rear of the Demised Premises. If Landlord 
cannot provide Tenant with reasonable assurances that Landlord's Construction 
Work as defined in Schedule C will be completed within forty-five (45) days 
after the fixture date, or the date Tenant would have been able to open 
otherwise, whichever date is later, then Tenant shall have the right, at its 
election, and upon giving notice thereof to Landlord, to complete so much of 
Landlord's Construction Work, according to the plans and specifications and 
in a good and workmanlike manner, for the account of Landlord as Tenant shall 
elect to complete, and if Landlord shall fail to reimburse Tenant upon demand 
for any amount (including, without limitation, overtime charges for labor) 
paid for such completion, said amount may be deducted from any payments of 
rent due under this lease. For the purposes of this Article IV and Article V, 
Landlord's Construction Work shall be deemed completed notwithstanding that 
the correction of certain minor punch list items in the nature of "touchups" 
or "adjustments" may be required for full completion provided that (i) 
neither the failure of completion nor the act of completion shall interfere 
with Tenant's use or enjoyment of the Demised Premises or any rights of 
Tenant under this lease, and (ii) Landlord shall diligently complete any such 
touchup or adjustment upon receiving notice of the need therefor.

    4.4  [Intentionally omitted.]

    4.5  Landlord agrees that upon the Commencement Date, the Demised 
Premises and all rights of Tenant under this lease will be free and clear of 
all title matters, except as set forth in this lease (including Schedule B), 
and that construction of the Demised Premises and the Shopping Center and the 
use of the Shopping Center, including the Demised Premises, for retail and 
wholesale operations, and parking areas will be in full compliance with all 
laws, ordinances and regulations of any public authorities and insurance 
rating bureaus having jurisdiction (including without limitation zoning and 
building codes), and all necessary governmental permits and certificates of 
occupancy shall have been issued. Landlord  agrees that if at any time or 
times any public authorities or insurance rating bureaus having jurisdiction 
shall complain that the Demised Premises or the Shopping Center shall not 
have been constructed in compliance with any law, ordinance, or regulation, 
in existence at the time of construction, of any public authority  or 
insurance rating bureau having jurisdiction and shall request compliance, and 
if failure to comply shall in any way affect the use of the Demised Premises 
by Tenant or affect any other rights of Tenant, then Landlord shall upon 
receipt of notice of such complaint cause such repairs, alterations, or other 
work to be done so as to bring about the compliance requested. If by reason 
of such failure of compliance or by reason of such repairs, alterations or 
other work done by Landlord, Tenant shall be deprived of the use or enjoyment 
of the whole or any part of the Demised Premises or the "Common Areas" 
(defined in Schedule B), Minimum Rent shall abate on a per diem basis in 
proportion to said deprivation. If at any time during the Lease Term, any 
person having a prior right to Tenant not set forth in

                                   -6-


Paragraph 12 of Schedule B shall cause an injunction to be entered against
Tenant restricting Tenant's use or enjoyment of the Demised Premises or any 
rights of Tenant under this lease, then Tenant's rent shall be abated in 
proportion to the injury to Tenant's business until such injunction is 
removed.  If such injunction shall not be dismissed within ninety (90) days 
after Tenant shall give Landlord notice thereof, then Tenant, at Tenant's 
option, without waiving any other rights Tenant may have against Landlord on 
account thereof may terminate this lease by giving Landlord notice 
thereof or may elect to continue with rent abatement.  Should Tenant elect to 
continue with rent abatement, Landlord may terminate this lease upon thirty 
(30) days written notice to Tenant, unless Tenant agrees to waive the rent 
abatement and pay full rent.

    4.6  If Landlord's Construction Work has not been commenced by June 16, 
1988, then at any time thereafter, but prior to the commencement of 
Landlord's Construction Work, Tenant shall have the right at its election to 
terminate this lease by giving Landlord notice thereof.

    4.7  If Landlord's Construction Work has not been completed, and if 
possession of the Demised Premises shall not be delivered to Tenant by 
February 15, 1989, then at any time thereafter, but prior to completion of 
Landlord's Construction Work and delivery of possession of the Demised 
Premises to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right, at its election, to 
terminate this lease by giving Landlord notice thereof.

    4.8  Tenant agrees that, on or before the ninetieth (90th) day after the 
Commencement Date, Tenant shall open for business in the Demised Premises 
substantially fully fixtured and stocked.  Nothing in the immediately 
preceding sentence or any other provision of this lease shall thereafter 
obligate Tenant to keep the Demised Premises open for business at any time 
or times.

    4.9  In the event that the Demised Premises shall, at any time during the 
Lease Term, be closed for business to customers for any period of three 
hundred sixty five (365) consecutive days or more, other than as the result 
of a cause or event referred to in Articles IX or X or Section 19.3 hereof 
(the "Dark Period"), then, at any time thereafter but prior to any date on 
which Tenant shall give notice to Landlord that Tenant shall thereafter 
reopen the Demised Premises for business to customers ("Tenants Notice"), 
Landlord may, at its election, (i) request information from Tenant regarding 
the cost to Tenant and the nature of leasehold improvements installed in, or 
made to, the Demised Premises and the date(s) of the installation and/or 
making thereof, and (ii) terminate the Lease Term by giving Tenant notice 
thereof and the Lease Term shall terminate on the thirtieth (30th) day after 
the giving of such notice by Landlord to the same extent as if said date were 
the date originally set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 for the expiration of 
the Lease Term.  If Landlord shall request information pursuant to clause (i) 
of the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall furnish such information 
in reasonable detail to Landlord within twenty-one (21) days after Tenant 
receives such request therefor.  In the event that Landlord shall terminate 
this lease pursuant to this Section 4.9, then simultaneously with the sending 
of notice thereof

                                       -7-


to Tenant, Landlord shall pay to Tenant (i) an amount equal to the product 
of the cost to Tenant of leasehold improvements installed in, or made to, the 
Demised Premised by Tenant from time to time (exclusive of merchandise racks) 
multiplied by a fraction the denominator of which shall be one hundred twenty 
(120) and the numerator of which shall be one hundred twenty (120) minus the 
number of months between the date of the making of such improvements, in each 
case, and the date of such termination of the Lease Term, and (ii) the 
unreimbursed amounts, if any, recoverable by Tenant pursuant to Section 9.4 
herein.  If Tenant shall give Tenant's Notice as aforesaid, Tenant shall open 
the Demised Premises for business, substantially fully fixtured and stocked, 
on or before the ninetieth (90th) day after the date of Tenant's Notice.  If 
Tenant shall fail to open as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, 
then, at any time after said ninetieth (90th) day but prior to any date on 
which Tenant shall so open, Landlord may terminate the lease as provided 
hereinabove.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to said 90th day Tenant 
has commenced and diligently pursued the work to reopen, then after said 90th 
day, Landlord may terminate the Lease prior to any date on which Tenant shall 
so open, but only after the earlier of the date 60 days after said 90th day, 
or the date Tenant ceases diligent efforts to reopen.

    4.10 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this lease, if Landlord is 
otherwise able to close escrow under the terms of the Purchase Agreement for 
the acquisition of the Demised Premises property on or before May 16, 1988, 
then the following dates:

                        -September 30 date in Section 4.3,
                        -June 16, 1988 date in Section 4.6,
                        -February 15, 1989 date in Section 4.7, and
                        -Both July 15, 1988 dates and the September 30 date
                         in Section 5.1 (D),

shall be extended on a day per day basis for each date that Landlord must 
wait after May 6, 1988 for Tenant to deliver to it a fully executed original 
of this lease and the attached Guarantee; provided, however, that the length 
of the preceding extension shall be reduced on a day per day basis (but not 
less than 0) if Landlord is actually able to close escrow on its acquisition 
of the Demised Premises property in less than fourteen (14) days after its 
receipt of the Lease from Tenant.  

                                 ARTICLE V

                                   RENT

    5.1 Minimum Rent.  (A) From the Commencement Date until the fifth (5th) 
anniversary thereof, Tenant shall pay Landlord minimum rent at the rate of 
Four Hundred Eighty-Eight Thousand Three Hundred Seventy-Two and 30/100 
Dollars ($488,372.30) per year (the "Minimum Rent"). 





     (B)  On the fifth (5th), tenth (10th), and fifteenth (15th) 
anniversaries of the Commencement Date, as well as on the twentieth (20th), 
twenty-fifth (25th), thirtieth (30th), and thirty-fifth (35th) anniversaries 
of the Commencement Date in the event the Lease Term is extended pursuant to 
Section 4.2 hereof, the Minimum Rent shall be adjusted for the 5-year period 
commencing on each such anniversary date ("CPI Adjustment") by multiplying 
the original Minimum Rent by a fraction, which fraction shall have as a 
numerator the Index (as hereinafter defined) for the month in which the CPI 
Adjustment is to occur and which fraction shall have as its denominator the 
Index for the month in which the Commencement Date occured. "Index" shall 
mean the seasonal Consumer Price Index for all Urban Wage Earners and 
Clerical Workers for the United States, published by the United States 
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, in which the 1982-1984 
average of 100 points is the base. If the 1982-1984 average of 100 points 
ceases to be used as the base, the Index shall be converted, in accordance 
with the conversion factor published by the Department of Labor, Bureau of 
Labor Statistics, to the 1982-1984 base. If the Index is discontinued or if a 
substantial change is made in the terms or number of items used to compile 
the Index, then any similar index which most closely comprehends the impact 
of cost-of-living increases on commercial real property rental published by 
any branch or department of the U.S. Government shall be used, and if none is 
so published, then another nonpartisan index evaluating the information 
theretofore used in compiling the Index, and generally recognized as 
authoritative on the impact of cost-of-living increases on commercial real 
property rentals shall be used. Notwithstanding anything contained in this  
lease to the contrary, under no circumstances shall the Minimum Rent be 
adjusted to exceed ten percent (10%) over the Minimum Rent for the 
immediatley preceding sixty (60) month period. In no event shall such 
adjustment result in a reduction below the Minimum Rent in effect to the 
immediatley preceding sixty (60) month period. When the adjusted Minimum Rent 
is determined, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice to that effect 
indicating how the adjusted Minimum Rent was computed. Pending receipt of 
such notice from Landlord as to the new Minimum Rent, Tenant shall continue 
to pay the Minimum Rent in effect during the preceding sixty (60) month 
period; provided, however, that Landlord shall have one hundred twenty (120) 
days to provide Tenant with a notice of its increased Minimum Rent and Tenant 
shall then make up the difference in the Minimum Rent for the preceding 
period, except that in no event shall Landlord be entitled to collect such 
difference for a period in excess of one hundred twenty (120) days.

     (C)  All Minimum Rent shall be payable (without notice, demand or 
set-off or abatement of any nature, except as provided expressly in this 
lease) in monthly installments of one-twelfth the annual rate thereof then in 
effect, in advance, upon the first day of each calendar month included within 
the Lease Term. All rent and other payments to be made by Tenant shall be 
sent to Landlord at the place to which notices to Landlord are required to be 
sent, unless Landlord shall direct otherwise by notice to Tenant. Rent for 
any fraction of a month at the commencement or expiration of the Lease

                                  -9-




Term, or in which the rate thereof changes pursuant hereto, shall be prorated 
on a per diem basis.

     (D)  If the fixture day shall not occur by July 15, 1988, then, 
notwithstanding anything else in this Section 5.1 to the contrary, no Minimum 
Rent shall be payable by Tenant for the period commencing upon the  
Commencement Date and containing that number of consecutive days thereafter 
which shall equal the number of days between July 15, 1988 and the fixture 
day, but not including any days between September 30 and the following March 
1.

     (E)  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 5.1 to the 
contrary, if the Inducement Tenant shall not open for business prior to March 
1, 1989, then between March 1, 1989 and the date the Inducement Tenant opens 
for business, the Minimum Rent payable by Tenant under Section 5.1(A) shall 
be reduced by Two Hundred Eight Nine Dollars ($289.00) per day.



                               ARTICLE VI

                            REAL ESTATE TAXES

   6.1  Tenant shall pay the real estate taxes allocable to the Demised 
Premises (determined as hereinafter provided) for each tax year included 
within the Lease Term and a pro rata portion thereof for the tax years 
partially included in the Lease Term at the commencement and expiration 
thereof. The real estate taxes allocable to the Demised Premises for any tax 
year shall be the sum of (A) the real estate taxes upon the Demised Premises 
for said tax year (excluding the land beneath the same) and (B) the product 
of Tenant's Fraction (hereinafter defined) and the real estate taxes for said 
tax year upon the land of the Shopping Center (including land under 
buildings) and all improvements upon the Common Areas. Tenant's Fraction is 
that fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of square feet of 
floor area in the Demised Premises (exclusive of the nursery area) and the 
denominator of which shall be the number of square feet of floor area in all 
the buildings in the Shopping Center, but in no event shall Tenant's Fraction 
exceed 47%. (Floor area of mezzanines not open to customers and incidental to 
ground floor retail operations shall not be counted; other mezzanine floor 
area, basement floor area and uppen story floor area shall be counted at half 
actual floor area). If the Demised Premises (EXCLUDING THE LAND BENEATH THE 
SAME) shall not be separately assessed, and are instead assessed jointly with 
other improvements, an allocation shall be made to determine the real estate 
taxes upon the Demised Premises (EXCLUDING THE LAND BENEATH THE SAME). Such 
allocation of taxes shall be made according to the assessors records or 
written assessors' certifications, or in the absense thereof, by the decision 
of a majority of three appraisers, one designated by Landlord, one by Tenant, 
and the third by the two so designated, the expenses of such appraisers being 
borne equally by Landlord and Tenant. If the Demised Premises and the Common 
Areas are at any time separate tax parcels, then in lieu of the foregoing 
computations, the real estate taxes allocable to the Demised Premises

                                    -10-



for any tax year shall be the sum of (A) the real estate taxes upon the tax 
parcel constituting the Demised Premises for said tax year and (B) the 
product of Tenant's Fraction and the real estate taxes upon the tax 
parcels(s) constituting the Common Areas for said tax year. If the real 
estate taxes of the Demised Premises for any year which commences after the 
Commencement Date shall be increased on account of a re-valuation of the 
Demised Premises because of any "change in ownership" by Landlord, Tenant 
shall not pay or be charged with any increase in the real estate taxes 
attributabale to or arising from such change during the first five years 
after such change. Real estate taxes as used herein shall include all ad 
valorem taxes and betterment assessments imposed or assessed upon or against 
real estate by any federal, state, county, or municipal public authority 
having jurisdiction except only that: (A) if Landlord shall at any time have 
had the right to elect to pay any betterment assessments in installments, the 
real estate taxes for any year shall include only the lowest such installment 
of such betterment assessments as Landlord shall have had the election to 
have allocated or accrued by law as a result of the exercise, in fact, of 
Landlord's election so to pay in installments, and (B) if for a tax year 
included within the Lease Term a betterment assessment is assessed on the 
Shopping Center for an improvement such as a street or sewer, made prior to 
the time the Demised Premises opened for business or in connection with the 
construction of premises in the Shopping Center, such assessment shall not be 
included in the real estate taxes upon the Shopping Center for such tax year 
except as set forth in Section 6.6 below. Notwithstanding anything in this 
lease to the contrary, real estate taxes shall not include any income, excess 
profits, estate inheritance, succession, transfer, franchise, capital or 
other tax or assessment upon Landlord or upon the rentals payable under this 
lease, all of which shall be the obligation of Landlord. Taxes upon equipment 
of occupants used in the conduct of their business (as distinguished from 
equipment used in the operation of the building, such as heating and air 
conditioning equipment) shall not be included in real estate taxes for the 
purposes of applying said apportionment formula. Tenant shall pay all ad 
valorem taxes allocable to such improvements in the Demised Premises, signs 
of Tenant, goods and other personal property owned by Tenant or other 
occupants, and such business equipment in the Demised Premises.

   6.2  The real estate taxes for any lease year shall be the real estate 
taxes for the tax year terminating during said lease year. If any lease year 
shall be greater than or less than twelve (12) months or if the real estate 
tax year shall be changed, an appropriate adjustment shall be made to carry 
out the intent of the parties. If there shall be more than one taxing 
authority, the real estate taxes for any period shall be the sum of the real 
estate taxes for such period attributable to each taxing authority. If the 
number of square feet of floor area of any building shall change during any 
tax year, the condition existing upon the day as of which the real estate 
taxes are assessed for such tax year shall control.

   6.3  The real estate taxes for any tax year shall mean such amounts as 
shall be finally determined to be the real estate taxes payable during such 
tax year less any abatements, refunds or rebates

                                  -11-



made thereof (except that Landlord shall be solely entitled to any proceeds 
from that certain Owner's Participation Agreement for the installation of 
facilities which benefit property in Chico in addition to the Shopping 
Center). For the purpose of determining payments due from Tenant to Landlord 
in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI, (A) the real estate 
taxes for any tax year shall be deemed to be the real estate taxes payable 
during such tax year until such time as the same may be reduced by abatement, 
refund or rebate, and (B) if any abatement, refund  or rebate shall be made 
for such tax year, the real estate taxes for such tax year shall be deemed 
to be such real estate taxes as so reduced plus the expenses of obtaining the 
reduction, with an appropriate adjustment to be made in the amount payable 
from Tenant to Landlord on account of real estate taxes to be paid in that 
tax year or any other tax year following the determination of the amount of 
any such abatement, refund or rebate.

   6.4  Tenant shall have such rights to contest the validity or amount of 
any real estate taxes as permitted by law, either in its own name or in the 
name of Landlord. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in any such contest 
and, in conneciton therewith, shall make available to Tenant such information 
in its files as Tenant may reasonably request. If any abatement, refund or 
rebate shall be obtained, whether for the Demised Premises or the Shopping 
Center as a whole, the expenses of obtaining the same shall be a first charge 
thereon, and the balance shall be allocated as provided in this Article VI.

   6.5  Landlord shall submit to Tenant copies of the real estate tax bills 
for each tax year. Landlord shall bill Tenant for any amount that may be 
payable by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Article VI. Said bill 
shall be accompanied by a computation of the amount payable. The amount 
payable by Tenant hereunder for any tax year shall be payable not later than 
the time that Landlord shall be required to pay real estate taxes to the 
taxing authority for said tax year, but, if Tenant shall not have received a 
bill therefor together with such evidence of the cost and computation thereof 
as Tenant may request, at least fourteen (14) days prior to said time for 
payment by Landlord, then Tenant shall not be required to make such payment 
until fourteen (14) days after the receipt of such bill and evidence. At any 
time before or after the making of such payments, Tenant shall have the right 
to audit or cause to be audited Landlord's computations and if such audit 
fails to substantiate the amount of taxes imposed or to be imposed by 
Landlord nor Tenant, then Tenant shall be entitled to a reduction or refund. 
At Tenant's election, any such refund shall be paid in cash to Tenant or 
credited by Tenant against its future obligations under this Article VI. (If 
real estate taxes are payable to any taxing authority for any tax year in 
installments, the amount payable by Tenant hereunder shall be payable in 
similar installments. If real estate taxes are payable to different taxing 
authorities for any tax year at different times, an appropriate apportionment 
shall be made of the amount payable by Tenant for said tax year and the 
apportioned amounts shall be payable at such times.) Landlord agrees that 
real estate taxes upon the Shopping Center shall be paid by Landlord prior to 
the last day that the same may be paid without penalty or interest, or if a 
discount shall be available for early

                                     -12-





payment, prior to the last day that such discount shall be available. Without 
cost to Tenant, Landlord shall bear all interest, penalties, late charges and 
lost discount amounts incurred as a result of Landlord's failure to timely 
pay any installment of real estate taxes, except to the extent such interest, 
penalties, late charges and lost discount amounts are due to Tenant's failure 
to comply with its obligations under this Section 6.5.

      6.6  The Demised Premises are already or shall be subject to two 
certain betterment assessments not to exceed a total of $230,000, one of 
which is more particularly described in exception number 3 in Title Report 
Lot 4 ("Village Park Refunding Assessment") and the other is an assessment to 
be created in connection with the construction of Whitman Avenue and 
infrastructure thereunder ("Future Whitman Avenue Assessment," hereinafter 
the Village Park Refunding Assessment and the Future Whitman Avenue 
Assessment shall be at times referred to as the "Approved Assessments").  
Landlord shall pay all charges due and payable for the Village Park Refunding 
Assessment during the first five (5) years of the Lease Term, and for the 
Future Whitman Avenue Assessment during the first five (5) years after 
charges therefor are first due and payable.  Thereafter, during the next ten 
years after each of the aforementioned 5 year periods, Tenant shall pay all 
charges for the respective Approved Assessment, except that in no event shall 
Tenant pay more than $20,000 for said Approved Assessments in any one year, 
or a total of more than $200,000 for such assessments.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                              REPAIRS AND UTILITIES

      7.1  TENANT'S REPAIRS.  Except as provided in Sections 7.2 and  7.3
herein, Tenant shall make all repairs and alterations to the property which 
Tenant is required to maintain, as hereinafter set forth, which may be 
necessary to maintain the same in as good repair and condition as the same 
are on the Commencement Date or which may be required by any laws, ordinances 
or regulations of any public authorities having jurisdiction, including any 
applicable subsequent amendments or modifications thereto, reasonable wear 
and tear and damage excepted and subject to Articles VIII, IX and X. Upon the 
expiration or other termination of the Lease Term, Tenant shall remove its 
goods and effects and those of all persons claiming under it and shall yield 
up peaceably to Landlord the Demised Premises with so much of the same as 
Tenant is obligated to maintain pursuant to the provisions of this 
Section 7.1 in as good repair and condition as the same were in on the 
Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear excepted and subject to 
Articles VIII, IX and X. However, notwithstanding anything in this lease 
contained to the contrary, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable 
cost of making all repairs and alterations to the property which Tenant is 
required to maintain which may be required as the result of repairs, 
alterations, other improvements or installations made by Landlord or 
Landlord's agents or employees, unless done by Landlord pursuant to 
Section 13.1. The property which Tenant is required to maintain is the 
interior of the Demised

                                       13




Premises, including, without limitation, all glass and all utilities, 
conduits, fixturew and equipment within the Demised Premises serving the 
Demised Premises exclusively, but excluding all property which Landlord is 
required to maintain below provided.  If at any time during the Lease Term 
Tenant shall make any repairs or replacements to the heating-ventilating air 
conditioning system serving the Demised Premises ("HVAC") that are not 
customarily included in a regular service and maintenance contract, then 
Tenant shall be reimbursed by Landlord, upon demand, for an amount equal to 
the product of the cost to Tenant thereof multiplied by a fraction the 
denominator of which is 120 and the numerator of which is 120 minus the 
number of months between the date of the making of such repairs and/or 
replacements, in each case, and the date of the termination of the Lease 
Term. Said reimbursement may be effected by Tenant's deducting the 
amount thereof from the final payments of Minimum Rent due and 
payable hereunder. (If the Lease Term shall be extended subsequent to the 
making of any such repairs "the termination of the term" shall be deemed to 
be the termination of the Lease Term as so extended, and Tenant shall 
thereupon reimburse Landlord for any excess reimbursement paid by Landlord in 
accordance with the preceding sentence.)

      7.2  LANDLORD REPAIRS.  Landlord shall make all repairs and alterations 
to the property which Landlord is required to maintain, as hereinafter set 
forth, which may be necessary to maintain the same in good repair and 
condition or which may be required by any laws, ordinances or regulations of 
any public authorities having jurisdiction, including any applicable 
subsequent amendments or modifications thereto, subject to Articles IX and X. 
However, notwithstanding anything in this lease contained to the contrary, 
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost of making all 
repairs and alterations to the property which Landlord is required to 
maintain which may be required as the result of repairs, alterations, other 
improvements or installations made by Tenant or any subtenant or 
concessionaire of Tenant or the agents or employees of any of them, unless 
done by Tenant pursuant to Section 13.2.  The property which Landlord is 
required to maintain is the foundation, the roof, the exterior walls, the 
roof drainage system, the canopy, the structural parts of the Demised 
Premises, including, without limitation, slab-floors, (but excluding all 
glass), and, to the extent located within the walls, ceiling or floors of 
the Demised Premises and not readily accessible by means of removable panels, 
access doors or the like, all wiring, plumbing, pipes, conduits and other 
utilities, plus all Common Areas and Common Facilities of the Shopping 
Center, and, to the extent not included in the foregoing, all utilities, 
conduits, fixtures and equipment serving the Demised Premises which also 
serve other premises or are located within the Shopping Center but outside 
the Demised Premises. The costs for the above described maintenance to the 
Common Areas and Common Facilities shall be included within Landlord's Common 
Area Costs described in Schedule B, Paragraph 8. In addition, Landlord shall 
make any repairs to the property Tenant is required to maintain which are 
required as a result of a defect in, or failure of repair of, the property 
Landlord is required to maintain.

                                     -14-



       7.3  SPECIAL REPAIRS.  Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the 
contrary, it shall be the obligation of Landlord to make all repairs and 
alterations (other than those required as the result of repairs, alterations, 
other improvements or installations made by Tenant or any subtenant or 
concessionaire of Tenant or the agents or employees of any of them) to the 
property which Tenant is otherwise required to maintain which may become 
necessary during the first twelve months of the Lease Term (or to the extent 
of the applicable construction contract warranty, if longer than twelve 
months), or which may be required during the Lease Term by any laws, 
ordinances or regulations of any public authorities having jurisdiction other 
than as a result of Tenant's particular use of the Premises. Notwithstanding 
anything in Section 7.1 contained to the contrary, Landlord agrees that in 
addition to making any repairs or alterations as required by the provisions 
of Section 7.2 hereinabove, Landlord shall make any repairs and alterations 
that shall be required at any time during the Lease Term as a result of 
(i) movement of the "Building" (as defined in Schedule A hereof) due to causes 
other than earthquake, such as settling, or as the result of settling of the 
Common Areas, provided that a certified engineer selected jointly by Landlord 
and Tenant states that such alteration or repair should be made, and provided 
further that if Landlord and Tenant are unable to select such engineer 
jointly, then Landlord and Tenant shall each select an engineer, such 
engineers shall then jointly select a third engineer, and a majority vote of 
said engineers shall determine whether the alteration or repair should be 
made, (ii) defective materials or workmanship in the construction thereof, or 
(iii) Landlord's failure to construct the Demised Premises or the Common 
Areas as required by the provisions of Schedule C herein.  Landlord agrees 
that Landlord shall give to Tenant the benefit of all guaranties Landlord may 
have from its contractors or materialmen or is required by Schedule C to have 
therefrom and that Tenant may enforce such guaranties either in Tenant's name 
or in Landlord's name.

      7.4  UTILITIES.  Landlord agrees that during the Lease Term the Demised 
Premises shall be connected to the electric and gas lines serving the 
municipality wherein the Demised Premises are located and to the water and 
sewer systems of such municipality.  Landlord agrees that during the Lease 
Term (i) all such water, electricity, and gas shall be in such amounts per 
unit of time as shall be required by the provisions of Schedule C (including, 
without limitation, sufficient water for air conditioning) and (ii) all such 
sewerage disposal facilities shall be of such capacity as shall be required 
by the provisions of Schedule C. If for any reason the Demised Premises 
cannot be connected to such municipality's water and/or sewer systems on the 
Commencement Date, Landlord shall then provide water and/or sewer systems 
which (i) shall be of such capacity as shall be required by the provisions of 
Schedule C, (ii) shall be subject to the prior written approval of Tenant and 
(iii) shall meet the requirements of all public authorities having 
jurisdiction with respect thereto.  Except as necessary to make required 
repairs or alterations, Landlord shall not take, or permit any occupant of 
the Shopping Center or any person claiming under Landlord or any such 
occupant to take, any action which shall interrupt, or interfere with, any 
electric, gas, water, sewerage or telephone

                                      -15-



service to the Demised Premises.  Landlord shall provide Tenant with 
reasonable written notice (not less than 3 days in advance) of any action 
which is likely to interfere with or interrupt such services to the Demised 
Premises, including action reasonably necessary to make required repairs or 
alterations, and Landlord shall not take, or give permission to any occupant 
of the Shopping Center or any person claiming under Landlord or any such 
occupant, to take any such action without Tenant's consent, which shall not 
be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Notwithstanding such notice, in the 
event that Landlord causes or permits any such interruption or interference 
to occur and continue for longer than one (1) day, Tenant's Minimum Rent 
shall be abated for each additional day that such interruption or 
interference continues in proportion to the interruption or interference.

      7.5  UTILITIES EASEMENTS.  Tenant shall have the right, license and 
easement within the Building and Shopping Center to install, replace, 
maintain and use utilities conduits serving the Demised Premises provided 
such conduits shall be located only in areas subject to the reasonable 
approval of the Landlord and Tenant shall do the same in such manner as shall 
keep to a reasonable minimum any interference with the business of the 
Shopping Center.  To the extent meters, controls and conduits for the 
utilities systems serving the Demised Premises are situated outside the 
Demised Premises in other premises within the Shopping Center, Tenant shall 
have access thereto, at all times, in common with Landlord and other lessees 
in the Shopping Center.

                                   ARTICLE VIII

                                   ALTERATIONS

      8.1  Tenant agrees that any repairs, alterations, other improvements or 
installations made by Tenant to or upon the Demised Premises shall be done in 
a good workmanlike manner and in conformity with all laws, ordinances and 
regulations of all public authorities having jurisdiction, that new 
materials of good quality shall be employed therein, that the structure of 
the Demised Premises shall not be endangered or impaired thereby, that the 
Demised Premises shall not be diminished in value thereby, and that, except 
for signs, antennae, and heating and air conditioning and utilities equipment 
Tenant is permitted to erect and maintain pursuant to the provisions of this 
lease, neither the perimeter of the Demised Premises nor the height of the 
Demised Premises shall be increased without the written consent of Landlord. 
Tenant agrees that Tenant shall not make any alterations to the foundation, 
roof, exterior walls, gutters, downspouts, canopy or any structural parts of 
the Demised Premises without first submitting plans and specifications 
thereof to Landlord.  Landlord shall have the right to disapprove of the same 
if, and only if, the same violate any of the preceding provisions of this 
Section 8.1. Failure of Landlord to give notice of approval or disapproval of 
said plans and specifications within thirty (30) days after Tenant's 
submission thereof to Landlord shall be deemed approval.  In addition, Tenant 
shall give Landlord prior notice of all alterations costing more than $75,000 
(as increased

                                      -16-


each year by the CPI Index as defined in Section 5.1(B)) so that Landlord has 
a reasonable opportunity to post a notice of non-responsibility, except that 
Tenant shall not be in breach of this obligation unless it fails to give 
prior notice, a mechanic's lien is recorded against Landlord's fee interest 
in the Demised Premises, and Tenant fails to cause such lien to be discharged 
of record as provided in Section 8.5 hereof.  All salvage in connection with 
any work done by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Article may be 
disposed of by Tenant.  It is agreed and understood that Landlord will accept 
the Demised Premises as altered pursuant to the provisions hereof without any 
obligation upon Tenant to restore the Demised Premises to their former 
condition.

      8.2  Landlord agrees that Tenant may erect and maintain its usual 
signs, from time to time, and provided such signs are in compliance with 
local codes, upon the exterior of the Demised Premises and the usual signs, 
from time to time, of any subtenants of Tenant.  Landlord further agrees that 
Tenant may erect and maintain upon the roof of the Demised Premises antennae 
for electronic receivers and transmitters in the Demised Premises and that 
Tenant may erect and maintain upon the roof and on the adjacent ground 
utilities equipment serving the Demised Premises.  Tenant shall be 
responsible for such signs, antennae and equipment, and for obtaining all 
government approvals with respect thereto.

      8.3  All repairs, alterations, other improvements or installations 
made to or upon the Demised Premises which are so attached to the realty that 
same will be by law deemed to be a part of the realty shall (subject, 
however, to the provisions of Section 8.1 and the provisions of the following 
sentence) be the property of Landlord and remain upon and be surrendered with 
the Demised Premises as a part thereof upon the termination of this lease.  
Notwithstanding the foregoing, all trade fixtures, (including without 
limitation, compressors, generators and hydraulic equipment), lighting 
fixtures, heat and air conditioning equipment (other than ducts), and signs, 
whether by law deemed to be a part of the realty or not, installed at any 
time by Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant (at Tenant's sole cost and 
expense without any contribution from or reimbursement by Landlord and which 
are not replacements of property installed by Landlord) shall remain the 
property of Tenant or persons claiming under Tenant and may be removed by 
Tenant or any person claiming under Tenant at any time or times during the 
Lease Term or any occupancy by Tenant thereafter, Tenant agreeing to repair 
any and all damage to the Demised Premises occasioned by the removal by 
Tenant or any person claiming under Tenant of any property from the Demised 
Premises.

      8.4  Tenant shall procure all necessary governmental permits before 
making any repairs, alterations, other improvements or installations to or 
upon the Demised Premises.  Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in obtaining 
such permits.  Tenant agrees to save harmless and indemnify Landlord from any 
and all injury, loss, claims or damage to any person or property occasioned 
by or arising out of the doing of any such work by Tenant.

                                     -17-



      8.5  Tenant shall permit no mechanic's, materialman's or other lien 
against the Demised Premises or property of which the Demised Premises are a 
part in connection with any materials, labor or equipment furnished, or 
claimed to have been furnished, to or for Tenant, and if any such lien shall 
be filed against the Demised Premises or property of which the Demised 
Premises are a part Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice 
thereof and shall cause said lien to be discharged, provided, however, that 
if Tenant desires to contest any such lien it may do so as long as the 
enforcement thereof is stayed, but in any event, Tenant shall either cause 
any such lien to be discharged of record within twenty-one (21) days of any 
written request of Landlord (if Tenant is not longer contesting such lien) or 
any written request based on any requirements of any mortgagee or prospective 
mortgagee or buyer or prospective buyer in escrow for the Demised Premises or 
property including the Demised Premises, (whether or not Tenant is still 
contesting such lien), or in lieu thereof, if and while contesting the same 
lien as aforesaid, deposit with the buyer's escrow, or the mortgagee or 
prospective mortgagee, pending such contest, a sum or bond sufficient to 
cover the amount of said lien and all interest, penalties or costs that would 
be payable to discharge such lien if such lien were valid provided such 
mortgagee or buyer may use such sum or bond to cause the discharge of said 
lien if its foreclosure is imminent.

      8.6  Landlord shall permit no mechanic's, materialman's or other 
lien against the Demised Premises or property of which the Demised 
Premises are a part in connection with any materials, labor or equip-
ment furnished, or claimed to have been furnished, to or for Landlord 
or any other occupant of premises in the Shopping Center, and if any 
such lien shall be filed against the Demised Premises or property of 
which the Demised Premises are a part Landlord shall cause the same 
to be discharged, provided, however, that if Landlord desires to 
contest any such lien it may do so as long as the enforcement thereof 
is stayed.


                                   ARTICLE IX

                            FIRE AND OTHER CASUALTY

      9.1  (A) If, at any time from and after the Commencement Date, the 
Demised Premises or any part thereof shall be damaged or destroyed by fire, 
the elements or other casualty for which insurance is required to be carried 
by Tenant as hereinafter provided, then, except as provided in Section 9.2 
hereof, Tenant shall, promptly thereafter, repair or restore the Demised 
Premises to substantially the same condition they were in immediately prior 
to such casualty, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any rent abatement with 
respect thereto. All insurance proceeds or damages recovered on account of 
any damage or destruction by fire, the elements or other casualty shall be 
made available for the payment of the cost of the aforesaid repair or 
restoration.  If the amount of said insurance proceeds shall be less than Two 
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), said insurance proceeds shall be 
paid over to Tenant.  If the amount of said

                                      -18-



insurance proceeds shall be greater than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars 
($250,000), said insurance proceeds shall be deposited in escrow with 
instructions to the escrow holder that the escrow holder shall disburse the 
same to Tenant as the work of repair or restoration progresses upon 
certificates of the architect or engineer supervising the repair or 
restoration that the disbursements then requested, plus all previous 
disbursements made from said insurance proceeds, plus the amount of such 
"deductible", do not exceed the cost of the repair or restoration already 
completed and paid for, and the balance in the escrow fund is sufficient to 
pay for the estimated cost of completing the repair and restoration. The 
escrow holder shall be the institutional lender holding a first mortgage upon 
the Demised Premises or the property of which the Demised Premises are a part 
if there shall be an institutional lender holding such first mortgage and if 
such institutional lender shall be willing to accept said escrow; otherwise 
the escrow holder shall be any bank mutually agreeable to Landlord and 
Tenant. If the insurance proceeds shall be less than the cost of repair or 
restoration, Tenant shall pay the excess cost and Tenant shall be responsible
for the amount of any deductibles. If the insurance proceeds shall be greater
than the cost of repair or restoration, the excess shall belong to the Tenant.

     (B) If the Common Areas or any part thereof, shall be damaged or 
destroyed by fire, the elements, the act of any public authority or other 
casualty or if the Demised Premises shall be damaged or destroyed by any 
casualty for which insurance is not then required to be carried by Tenant 
(collectively "Landlord's Damages"), then Landlord shall, promptly thereafter, 
repair or restore Landlord's Damages to substantially the same condition they 
were in immediately prior to such casualty, except as hereinafter otherwise 
provided and except that Tenant shall be liable for any damage or destruction 
to the Demised Premises to the extent caused by Tenant's negligence, unless 
such damage or destruction is insured by Landlord.  If Landlord's Damages shall
render the whole or any part of the Common Areas or Demised Premises unsuitable
for the use for which they were intended, a just proportion of the rent and all
other amounts payable by Tenant pursuant to this lease, according to the nature
and extent of the injury to Tenant's business, shall be suspended or abated
until the fifteenth (15th) day after the completion of the repairs or restor-
ations  to the substantially the same condition they were in immediately prior
to such casualty; rent and any such other amounts paid in advance for a period
beyond the date on which the same were so rendered unsuitable for the use for
which the same were intended shall be apportioned and adjusted.  Whenever in
this lease it is provided that rent and any such other amounts shall be
suspended or abated for any period according to the nature and extent of the
injury to Tenant's business, Tenant's sales figures for comparable periods shall
be considered, together with all other evidence.  All insurance proceeds or 
damages recovered on account of Landlord's Damages shall be made available 
for the payment of the cost of the aforesaid repair and restoration.  Tenant 
shall provide Landlord written notice of any of Landlord's Damages which 
Tenant intends to repair or restore.  Unless within ten (10) days of said 
notice Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord shall make such repairs or 
restorations, and thereafter diligently commences


                                       -19- 




and completes such work, Tenant may elect to undertake or complete any repair 
or restoration of Landlord's Damages at reasonable cost and in a good and 
workmanlike fashion and if Tenant makes such an election, Tenant shall be 
entitled to use any insurance proceeds and any damages collected from third 
parties and shall be entitled to immediate reimbursement from Landlord for 
any funds expended in excess of any such insurance proceeds and damages 
collected from third parties and may also elect to recapture any unreimbursed 
amounts (the "Recapture Deficit") as provided in Section 9.4 herein.

     (C)  If more than sixty percent (60%) of the ground floor area, in the 
aggregate, of all buildings in the Shopping Center (excluding the Demised 
Premises from the computation thereof) shall, for any period, be closed for 
business as a result of damage or destruction, and if Landlord shall fail to 
complete the repair and restoration of all such damage within one (1) year 
after the occurrence thereof then, and prior to the completion thereof, 
Tenant may terminate this lease at its election, by giving Landlord notice 
thereof and the term of this lease shall then terminate on the date specified 
therefor in such notice.

     9.2  It is agreed and understood that with respect to any damage or 
destruction to the Demised Premises as provided in Section 9.1.(A) or 9.1(B), 
(1) if during the fourth semi-annual period preceding the expiration of the 
Lease Term, the Demised Premises shall be so damaged or destroyed to the 
extent of twenty percent (20%) or more of their insurable value, or (2) if 
during the third semi-annual period preceding the expiration of the Lease 
Term, the Demised Premises shall be so damaged or destroyed to the extent of 
fifteen percent (15%) or more of their insurable value, or (3) if during the 
second semi-annual period preceding the expiration of the Lease Term, the 
Demised Premises shall be so damaged or destroyed to the extent of ten 
percent (10%) or more of their insurable value, or (4) if during the 
semi-annual period immediately preceding the expiration of the Lease Term, 
the Demised Premises shall be so damaged or destroyed to the extent of five 
percent (5%) or more of their insurable value, either Landlord or Tenant may, 
if either shall so elect, terminate the Lease Term by notice to the other 
within twenty (20) days after such damage or destruction.  If Landlord shall 
give such notice of termination at a time when Tenant shall have the right to 
exercise an election to extend the Lease Term an extension period of at least 
five (5) years, and if within fifteen (15) days after Tenant shall receive 
such notice of termination from Landlord, Tenant shall exercise such 
election, then such termination shall become void and of no force or effect.  
In the event of any termination of the Lease Term pursuant to the provisions 
of this Section 9.2, the termination shall become effective on the twentieth 
(20th) day after the giving of the notice of termination, neither Landlord 
nor Tenant shall be obligated to repair or restore any damage or destruction 
caused by the fire or other casualty, and said insurance proceeds, if any, 
shall belong to Landlord.

     9.3  Tenant shall maintain at all times during the Lease Term with 
respect to the Demised Premises insurance against loss or damage by fire, the 
so-called extended coverage casualties, vandalism and malicious mischief and 
sprinkler leakage (if there shall be a sprinkler


                                       -20-



system).  Tenant may, at its election, maintain insurance with respect to 
additional casualties and events.  Said insurance shall be in an amount not 
less than eighty percent (80%) of the full insurable value of the Demised 
Premises, and said insurance may be written with a so-called eighty percent 
(80%) co-insurance clause, and in such event sufficient insurance shall be 
carried so that the insured shall not be a co-insurer.  Said insurance may be 
written with a so-called "deductible" which is Tenant's usual deductible 
from time to time.  Insurance against any or all of such risks may be 
maintained under a blanket policy covering the Demised Premises and other real 
estate of Tenant and/or its affiliated business organizations.  
Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless both Tenant and Guarantor have a net 
worth of less than Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000), Tenant may 
self-insure with respect to any insurance obligations which it is otherwise 
required to maintain under this lease.  Nothing herein contained, however, 
shall affect the obligation of Tenant set forth in Section 9.1(A) to repair 
or restore the Demised Premises.  The policies of such insurance shall name 
Landlord and Tenant as insureds, as their interests may appear, and, subject 
to the provisions of said Section 9.1 shall be payable in case of loss to any 
holders of any mortgages which secure loans made to Landlord or its 
predecessors upon the property of which the Demised Premises are a part, as 
their interest may appear.  Such policies of insurance shall provide that no 
act or omission of any person named as insured thereunder shall invalidate 
the interest of, or be a defense against, any other person named as insured 
thereunder.  Tenant shall have the right to adjust with the insurance 
carriers the amount of the loss upon such policies.  Said insurance shall be 
written by responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the 
state wherein the Demised Premises are located.  Upon request of Landlord, 
Tenant agrees that not less than ten (10) days prior to the Commencement Date 
and not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of each policy of 
such insurance, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of such 
insurance, or the renewals thereof, as the case may be.

     9.4  If at any time during the Lease Term there is a Recapture Deficit, 
then Tenant shall have the right to reimburse itself for such amount out of 
the monthly payments of Minimum Rent thereafter due and payable.  In 
addition, if there is a Recapture Deficit at the expiration of the Lease 
Term, Tenant shall have the right to continue in use and occupancy of the 
Demised Premises without payment of Minimum Rent for a number of days which 
number when multiplied by the per diem Minimum Rent (at the rate prevailing at 
the expiration of the Lease Term) shall equal the Recapture Deficit.

     9.5  If Tenant may not self-insure and is obligated to purchase casualty 
insurance under Section 9.3, all such insurance policies shall be issued by 
financially responsible insurance companies qualified to do business in the 
State of California.  Furthermore, such policies shall not contain a 
deductible amount greater than Tenant's usual deductible from time to time.  
All such policies shall name as additional insureds Landlord and any 
mortgagee or lender of Landlord having a security interest in the Demised 
Premises.  Tenant shall cause executed copies of such policies or 
certificates thereof to be delivered to Landlord


                                       -21-



within ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt of such policies and thereafter 
renewal policies or certificates within ten (10) days prior to the expiration 
of such policies.  All such policies shall contain a provision that the 
insurance company will provide Landlord, with at least ten (10) days prior 
written notice of any cancellation or lapse in the policy, any reduction in 
the amounts thereof, or any material change in the terms of coverage.  In 
addition, all such policies shall be written as primary policies, not 
contributing and not in excess of coverage which Landlord may carry.


                                   ARTICLE X

                                EMINENT DOMAIN

     10.1  If after the execution of this lease and prior to the expiration of 
the Lease Term the whole of the Demised Premises shall be appropriated by 
right of eminent domain (which, for the purposes of this Article X, includes 
any conveyance made to the condemning authority under the threat of 
condemnation), then the Lease Term shall cease as of the time the fee simple 
interest shall be vested in the taking authority, and rent and all other 
payment under this lease shall be apportioned and adjusted as of the time of 
termination.  Tenant shall have the right at its election to continue to 
occupy the Demised Premises, to the extent permitted by law, for all, or such 
part, as Tenant may elect, of the period between the time of such 
appropriation and the time when physical possession of the Demised Premises 
shall be taken, subject to the provisions of this lease insofar as the same 
may be made applicable to such occupancy by Tenant, but the amount, if any, 
charged to Tenant by taking authority or its assigns for rent or use and 
occupancy shall be deductible from the rent paid or payable by Tenant 
hereunder.

     10.2  If by right of eminent domain or any other action of any public 
authority:

         (i)  a part of the Demised Premises shall be appropriated
     and if as a result thereof (and all previous takings) the 
     ground floor area of the Demised Premises shall be reduced to 
     less than ninety percent (90%) of the ground floor area set 
     forth in Schedule A of this lease, or

         (ii) a part of the Common Areas shall be appropriated and if
     as a result thereof (and all previous takings) the Common Areas
     (defined in Paragraph 2 of Schedule B to this lease) shall be 
     reduced in size by twenty percent (20%) or more, or

         (iii)  the Parking Areas shall cease to be satisfactory
     access for pedestrians and motor vehicles to and from Whitman
     Avenue, and E. 20th Street, or


                                       -22-



         (iv)  there shall cease to be satisfactory access for
     pedestrians between the Parking Areas and the Demised Premises,
     or

         (v)  there shall cease to be satisfactory access for trucks
     to and from the service door(s) of the Demised Premises, or

         (vi)  the lease of the Inducement Tenant shall be terminated,
     or

         (vii)  any part of the Demised Premises shall be appropriated
     during the last year of the Lease Term,

then Tenant may, if Tenant shall so elect, terminate the Lease Term by giving 
Landlord notice of the exercise of such an election within twenty (20) days 
after the receipt by Tenant from Landlord of notice of such appropriation.  
If by right of eminent domain any part of the Demised Premises shall be 
appropriated during the last year of the Lease Term, then Landlord may, if 
Landlord shall so elect, terminate the Lease Term by giving Tenant notice to 
the exercise of such election within twenty (20) days after the receipt by 
Landlord of notice of such appropriation.  If Landlord shall give such notice 
of termination at a time when Tenant shall have the right to exercise an 
election to extend the Lease Term an extension period of at least five (5) 
years, and if within fifteen (15) days after Tenant shall receive such notice 
of termination from Landlord, Tenant shall exercise said election, then such 
notice of termination shall become void and of no force or effect.  In the 
event of a termination under the provisions of this Section, the termination 
shall be effective as of the time that physical possession of the premises so 
appropriated shall be taken, and rent and all other payments pursuant to the 
lease shall be apportioned and adjusted as of the time of termination, but 
the amount charged by the taking authority or its assigns for rent or use and 
occupancy between the time of appropriation and the time of termination, 
shall be deductible from rent paid or payable hereunder.  If there shall be 
an appropriation by right of eminent domain and if the Lease Term shall not be 
terminated as aforesaid, then the Lease Term shall continue in full force and
effect and Landlord shall, within a reasonable time after physical possession
is taken of the premises appropriated, restore what may remain of the Demised
Premises and of the Common Areas and Common Facilities to substantially the same
condition they, respectively, were in prior thereto, subject to reduction in 
size thereof.  A just proportion of the rent and all other amounts payable by 
Tenant pursuant to this lease, according to the nature and extent of the 
injury to Tenant's business, shall be suspended or abated until the 
forty-fifth (45th) day after what may remain of the Demised Premises and the 
Common Areas and Common Facilities shall be restored, as aforesaid, and 
thereafter a just proportion of the rent and such other amounts, according to 
the nature and extent of the part of the Demised Premises and the Common 
Areas so appropriated, shall be suspended or abated for the balance of the 
Lease Term, for the purpose of which rent shall be deemed allocable fifty 
percent (50%) to the Demised Premises and fifty percent (50%) to the Common 
Areas and Common Facilities.


                                       -23-




     10.3  Landlord reserves to itself, and Tenant assigns to Landlord, all 
rights to damages accruing on account of any appropriation by eminent domain 
or by reason of any act of any public authority for which damages are 
payable.  Tenant agrees to execute such instruments of assignments as may be 
reasonably requested by Landlord in any petition for the recovery of such 
damages if requested by Landlord, and to turn over to Landlord any damages 
that may be recovered in any such proceeding.  It is agreed and understood, 
however, that Landlord does not reserve to itself and Tenant does not assign 
to Landlord:  (i) the cost of trade fixtures installed by Tenant or any 
person claiming under Tenant at the sole cost and expense of Tenant or such 
other person, (ii) the unamortized cost to Tenant of any improvements made by 
Tenant to the realty which shall not remain or be restored in the part of the 
Demised Premises not taken including any unreimbursed amounts subject to 
recapture as provided in Section 9.4, (iii) moving and relocation costs, and 
(iv) the loss of tenant's leasehold interest (bargain value of the lease) 
(collectively "Tenant's Damages").  If any appropriation by right of eminent 
domain shall result in the termination of the Lease Term as above provided, 
Landlord shall pay to Tenant from the amount awarded to it as damages 
therefore an amount equal to Tenant's Damages except to the extent that 
Tenant receives a separate award from the condemning authority to cover such 
losses; provided that any payment to Tenant for Tenants Damages (excluding 
any unreimbursed amounts subject to recapture as provided in Section 9.4) 
shall not reduce any award to Landlord below the amount awarded for or 
allocable to the sum of the then present value of the income stream to the 
Landlord under this lease plus the then present value of the Landlord's 
remainder interest in the fee title to the Demised Premises upon the 
termination of the lease.  The unamortized cost to Tenant of any improvement 
made by Tenant to the realty shall be determined in accordance with the 
straight-line method of amortization and the life expectancy of such 
improvement used by Tenant for federal income tax purposes.  As used 
hereinbefore, "the cost to Tenant" of any improvement shall mean the actual 
cost to Tenant of making such improvement less any contribution thereto, or 
reimbursement thereof, made by Landlord to Tenant, including, without 
limitation, reimbursement effected by deductions from rent.


                                  ARTICLE XI

                                INDEMNIFICATION

     11.1  Tenant shall save Landlord harmless from, and defend and indemnify 
Landlord against, any and all injury, loss or damage or claims for injury, 
loss or damage, of whatever nature, to any person or property caused by or 
resulting from any act, omission or negligence of Tenant or any subtenant or 
concessionaire of Tenant or any agent or employee of Tenant or any subtenant 
or concessionaire of Tenant.  It is a condition of this save harmless and 
indemnification that Tenant shall receive prompt notice of any such claim 
against Landlord.


                                         -24-



     11.2  Landlord shall save Tenant harmless from, and defend and indemnify 
Tenant against, any and all injury, loss or damage or claims for injury, loss 
or damage, of whatever nature, to any person or property caused by or 
resulting from any act, omission or negligence of Landlord or its agents or 
employees. It is a condition of this save harmless and indemnification that 
Landlord shall receive prompt notice of any such claim against Tenant.

     11.3  The provisions of this Article XI shall be subject to the 
provisions of Section 14.1 below.

     11.4  If and when Tenant shall elect to maintain a policy of 
comprehensive general liability insurance with respect to the Demised 
Premises, and if Landlord shall be named as an additional insured thereunder, 
then in such event Tenant shall, upon request (a) deliver certificates of 
such insurance to Landlord and give Landlord not less than ten (10) days 
notice of cancellation or expiration thereof, and (b) pay the amount of any 
so-called deductible applicable to any claim under such policy involving 
Landlord and/or Tenant. If and when Tenant shall elect not to maintain such a 
policy of insurance or not to name Landlord as additional insured thereunder, 
then in such event (in addition to any other insurance which Landlord may 
carry at its own expense) Landlord may, at its election, maintain a policy of 
comprehensive general liability insurance with respect to the Demised 
Premises, naming only Landlord as insured ("Landlord's Insurance Policy") and 
if Landlord shall so elect then (i) Landlord shall give notice thereof to 
Tenant and (ii) so long as Tenant shall so elect not to maintain such a 
policy, and if the net worth of Tenant and Guarantor (as determined by 
generally accepted accounting principles) are both then less than 
$75,000,000.00, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost to 
Landlord of the premiums upon Landlord's Insurance Policy, but Tenant's 
liability under this clause shall not exceed the cost of insurance coverage 
for Landlord having limits which do not exceed $2,000,000 for injury in any 
one occurrence. All public liability and property damage policies shall 
contain a provision that Landlord, although named as an insured, shall 
nevertheless be entitled to recovery under said policies for any loss 
occasioned by Landlord, its employees or agents.

                                 ARTICLE XII

                                   DEFAULT

     12.1  The failure by Tenant to make, when due, any payment of rent or 
other sum required to be made by Tenant hereunder, where such failure shall 
continue for a period of fifteen (15) days after written notice from Landlord 
of Tenant's failure to make such payments shall constitute a default ("Event 
of Default") hereunder by Tenant.

     12.2  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 12.1, 
Landlord may terminate this lease upon written notice to Tenant. Should 
Landlord exercise its rights hereunder, Tenant shall be given sixty (60) days 
in which to remove its personal property. Landlord

                                     -25-




may dispose of any such property remaining in the Demised Premises thereafter 
in the manner provided by law.

     12.3  In the event Landlord terminates the lease as provided in Section 
12.2, Tenant shall remain liable for the Minimum Rent and all other payments 
reserved herein plus the reasonable cost of obtaining possession of and 
re-letting the Demised Premises, including, without limitation, any 
reasonable repairs and alterations necessary to prepare the Demised Premises 
for re-letting, less the rents received from such re-letting. Any amounts so 
owing by Tenant shall be paid monthly on the date herein provided for the 
payment of Minimum Rent.

     12.4  After any assignment of Tenant's interest in this lease, Landlord 
shall not exercise any rights or remedies under this Article XII on account 
of any default in payment of any rent or other sum of money unless Landlord 
shall give notice to the Tenant named herein, as well as the tenant in 
possession, of such default and the opportunity to cure each such default 
within the period of time after such notice provided in Section 12.1 of this 
lease. After such notice, if the Lease Term shall be terminated pursuant to 
the provisions of this Article XII, then the tenant named herein shall not be 
liable for the payment of any rent or for the performance or observance of 
any agreements or conditions to be performed or observed which become due or 
arise after the date of such termination or with respect to periods following 
such termination unless at or about the time of such termination Landlord 
shall have offered to the tenant named herein a lease for the balance of the 
Lease Term upon the provisions of this lease contained to be thereafter 
performed by the parties hereunder; the tenant named herein shall have a 
period of thirty (30) days after receipt of such offer to accept such offer. 
If the tenant named herein shall accept Landlord's offer for such a lease 
within said thirty (30) days, then such lease shall be deemed to mitigate 
Landlord's damages

                                     -26-




and Landlord waives all its claims under Section 12.2(b) and (c) hereinabove 
with respect to the aforesaid termination.

     12.5  Landlord shall not have any lien, for the performance of any 
obligations of Tenant, upon any fixtures, machinery, equipment, or goods, 
wares or merchandise or other personal property, and Landlord hereby 
expressly waives the provisions of any law giving to Landlord such a lien.

     12.6  If any person to whom Tenant shall not then be paying rent under 
this lease shall demand payment of rent from Tenant, or any other amount 
payable to Tenant under this lease, alleging his or its right to receive such 
rent or other amount as a result of a transfer of Landlord's interest in this 
lease or otherwise, Tenant shall not be obligated to honor such demand unless 
Tenant shall receive written instructions to do so from the person to whom 
Tenant shall then be paying rent or shall otherwise receive evidence 
satisfactory to Tenant of the right of the person making the demand. The 
withholding of rent, or any other amount payable by Tenant under this Lease, 
by Tenant pending the determination of the right of the party making the 
demand shall not be deemed to be a default on the part of Tenant.

                                 ARTICLE XIII

                                  SELF-HELP

     13.1  Upon the failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the 
covenants or provisions of this lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, 
where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after 
written notice from Landlord to Tenant of such failure (except if the nature 
of Tenant's default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably 
required for its cure and Tenant commences such cure within said thirty (30) 
day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion), 
Landlord may, at its option, without waiving any claim for damages for breach 
of agreement, at any time thereafter cure such default for the account of 
Tenant, and any amount paid or any contractual liability incurred by Landlord 
in so doing shall be deemed paid or incurred for the account of Tenant, and 
Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord therefor; provided that Landlord may cure 
any such default as aforesaid prior to the expiration of said thirty-day 
period but after notice to Tenant, if the curing of such default prior to the 
expiration of said thirty-day period is reasonably necessary to protect the 
real estate or Landlord's interest therein, or to prevent injury or damage to 
persons or property. If Tenant shall fail to reimburse Landlord upon demand 
for any amount paid for the account of Tenant hereunder, said amount shall be 
added to and become due as part of the next payment of rent due hereunder. 
Except as specifically provided in Article XII, Landlord specifically waives 
its rights under paragraph 3 of Section 1161 of the California Code of Civil 
Procedure. To the extent Tenant's failure to perform under this lease cannot 
reasonably be cured by Landlord as provided in this Section 13.1, Tenant 
acknowledges that all legal and equitable remedies shall be available to 
Landlord including without limitation

                                     -27-



injunctions and specific performance except as termination rights are limited 
as provided in Article XII.

     13.2  If Landlord shall default in the performance or observance of any 
agreement or condition in this lease, or shall default in the payment of any 
tax or other charge which shall be a lien upon the Demised Premises or in the 
payment of any installment of principal or interest upon any mortgage which 
shall be prior in lien to the lien of this lease, and if Landlord shall not 
cure such default within thirty (30) days after notice from Tenant specifying 
the default, (or if such default cannot reasonably be cured within such 
thirty-day period, then shall not within said thirty-day period commence to 
cure such default and thereafter prosecute the curing of such default to 
completion with due diligence), Tenant may, at its option, without waiving 
any claim for damages for breach of agreement, at any time thereafter cure 
such default for the account of Landlord, and any amount paid or any 
contractual liability incurred by Tenant in so doing shall be deemed paid or 
incurred for the account of Landlord and Landlord agrees to reimburse Tenant 
therefore or save Tenant harmless therefrom; provided that Tenant may cure 
any such default as aforesaid prior to the expiration of said thirty-day 
period, but after said notice to Landlord, if the curing of such default 
prior to the expiration of said thirty-day period is reasonably necessary to 
protect the Demised Premises or Tenant's interest therein or to prevent 
injury or damage to persons or property or to permit Tenant to conduct its 
usual business operations in the Demised Premises. If Landlord shall fail to 
reimburse Tenant upon demand for any amount paid for the account of Landlord 
hereunder, said amount may be deducted by Tenant from the next or any 
succeeding payments of rent due hereunder or any other amounts due from 
Tenant to Landlord until Tenant is thereby reimbursed therefor in full.

                                 ARTICLE XIV

                            WAIVER OF SUBROGATION

     14.1  Each of Landlord and Tenant hereby releases the other to the 
extent of its insurance coverage, from any and all liability for any loss or 
damage caused by fire or any of the extended coverage casualties or any other 
casualty insured against and from any and all liability for any personal 
injury or property damage, even if such fire or other casualty, injury or 
damage shall be brought about by the fault or negligence of the other party, 
or any persons claiming under such other party, provided, however, this 
release shall be in force and effect only with respect to loss or damage 
occurring during such time as the releasor's policies of fire and extended 
coverage insurance and liability insurance shall contain a clause to the 
effect that this release shall not affect such policies or the right of the 
releasor to recover thereunder. Each of Landlord and Tenant agrees that its 
fire and extended coverage insurance policies shall include such a clause to 
long as the same is obtainable and is includible without extra cost, or if 
such extra cost is chargeable therefor, so long as the other party pays such 
extra cost. If extra cost is chargeable therefor, each party will advise the 
other thereof and of the amount thereof, and the other


                                     -28-



party, at its election, may pay the same but shall not be obligated to do so.

     14.2  Except as provided in Section 14.1, neither Section 19.9 of this 
lease nor anything else in this lease contained shall be deemed to release 
either party hereto from liability for damages resulting from the fault or 
negligence of said party or its agents or employees or from responsibility 
for repairs necessitated thereby or by any default thereof hereunder.

                                  ARTICLE XV

                            MORTGAGE SUBORDINATION

     15.1  Tenant shall, upon the request of Landlord, in writing subordinate 
this lease and the lien hereof from time to time to the lien of any future 
first mortgage to a bank, insurance company or similar financial institution, 
irrespective of the time of execution or time of recording of such mortgage 
or mortgages, provided the holder of such mortgage shall first enter into an 
agreement with Tenant, in recordable form, and substantially in the form of 
Schedule D, that in the event of foreclosure or other right asserted under 
the mortgage by the holder or any assignee thereof, this lease and the rights 
of Tenant hereunder shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be 
terminated or disturbed except in accordance with the provisions of this 
lease. Tenant shall, if requested by the holder of any such mortgage, be a 
party to said agreement, provided such agreement does not alter the terms of 
this lease, and shall agree in substance that if the mortgagee or any person 
claiming under such mortgagee shall succeed to the interest of Landlord in 
this lease, Tenant shall recognize such mortgagee or person as its Landlord 
under the terms of this lease. Tenant agrees that Tenant shall, upon the 
request of Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments 
necessary to effectuate, or to give notice of, such subordination, provided 
such instruments do not alter the terms of this lease and provided Landlord 
shall reimburse Tenant for any costs (including attorneys' fees) incurred by 
Tenant in connection with its review and or execution of any such 
instruments. The word "mortgage" as used herein includes mortgages, deeds of 
trust and similar instruments and modifications, consolidations, extensions, 
renewals, replacements or substitutes thereof.

     15.2  Landlord agrees that neither the Shopping Center, nor the 
construction thereof, nor any expansion thereof, shall be financed by, or 
subject to, any so-called economic development or industrial revenue bonds or 
similar debt instruments, or any security interest given in connection 
therewith, which shall, pursuant to any governmental laws, ordinance or 
regulations require or impose (i) any restriction, condition or limitation 
whatsoever upon or with respect to any expenditures which may be made by 
Tenant and/or any business organization affiliated with Tenant or (ii) any 
obligation to file any reports or returns with respect thereto.

                                     -29-



     15.3  Upon thirty (30) days prior written notice from Landlord or 
Tenant, the requested party shall from time to time execute and deliver to 
the requesting party, or any person designated by the requesting party, a 
written estoppel statement certifying that: (i) this Lease represents the 
entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant and is unmodified and in full 
force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification 
and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect); 
(ii) the dates to which the rental and/or other charges are paid in advance, 
if any; (iii) the commencement and termination dates of the lease term; 
(iv) there has been no assignment or other transfer of this Lease or any 
interest herein by Tenant or Landlord; (v) to the best of the requested party's 
knowledge, there are no uncured defaults on the part of the requesting party 
under this Lease and the requested party has no right of rent abatement or 
damages based thereon (or if a default exists, the nature and amount 
thereof); and (vi) such other facts as reasonably may be requested with 
respect to the material provisions of this Lease by the requesting party or 
any present or prospective purchaser, lender or assignee of this Lease. Any 
such certificate may be relied upon by any such party in their transactions 
with Landlord or Tenant.

     15.4  Upon the occurrence of any default by Landlord hereunder, written 
notice to that effect shall be sent by Tenant to each lender of Landlord with 
a lien against the property including the Demised Premises provided Landlord 
has sent Tenant written notice advising of the existence of such Lender and 
the address to be used for its notice ("Landlord Lender"). Tenant shall make 
such notice(s) to Landlord Lender(s) at the same time notice of such notice 
of default is sent to Landlord, and each Landlord Lender shall have the same 
opportunity to cure the default as Landlord has.

     15.5  No Landlord Lender shall become personally liable for the 
performance or observance of any covenants or conditions to be performed or 
observed by Landlord unless and until such Landlord Lender becomes the owner 
of Landlord's interest hereunder. Thereafter such Landlord Lender shall be 
liable for the performance and observance of such covenants and conditions as 
a "Landlord" as provided in Section 19.19 hereof, and subject to the 
limitations provided therein.

                                  ARTICLE XVI

                                  ASSIGNMENT

     Tenant shall have the right at any time and from time to time to sublet 
all or any part of the Demised Premises or assign this lease; provided, 
however, that notwithstanding any assignment of Tenant's interest in this 
lease or any subletting of the whole or any part of the Demised Premises, 
Tenant and Guarantor shall remain primarily liable for the performance of all 
agreements of Tenant hereunder, except as expressly otherwise provided in 
Section 12.5.

                                    -30-



                                 ARTICLE XVII

                            (Intentionally omitted]

                                 ARTICLE XVIII

                              LEASEHOLD MORTGAGES

     18.1  Tenant may execute and deliver one or more mortgages, deeds of trust 
or other leasehold security agreements ("Leasehold Indentures") without the 
consent of Landlord.  If either Tenant or the mortgagee, grantee or corporate 
trustee under any such Leasehold Indenture sends Landlord a notice advising 
of the existence of such Leasehold Indenture and the address of the 
mortgagee, grantee or corporate trustee thereunder for the service of 
notices, such mortgagee, grantee or corporate trustee shall be deemed to be 
a "Leasehold Lender." Landlord shall be under no obligation under this 
Article XVIII to any mortgagee, grantee or corporate trustee under a 
Leasehold Indenture who is not a Leasehold Lender.

     18.2  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder by Tenant, 
written notice to that effect shall be sent by Landlord to each Leasehold 
Lender at the same time notice of such Event of Default is sent to Tenant, 
and each Leasehold Lender shall have the same opportunity to cure the 
default as Tenant has as provided in Section 12.1 herein.

     18.3  If any Leasehold Lender or a person designated by a Leasehold 
Lender shall either become the owner of the interest of Tenant hereunder upon 
the exercise of any remedy provided for in the Leasehold Indenture or shall 
enter into a new lease with Landlord as provided in Section 18.4, such 
Leasehold Lender or such person shall have the right to assign to any person 
such interest or such new lease upon notice to Landlord without obtaining the 
consent or approval of Landlord, except that, if neither Tenant nor Guarantor 
has a net worth of Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000) or more, then 
Landlord's reasonable consent to such assignment is required.

     18.4  If this lease is terminated for any reason or is rejected or 
disaffirmed pursuant to bankruptcy law or other law affecting creditors' 
rights, any Leasehoid Lender, or a person designated by any Leasehold Lender, 
shall have the right, exercisable by notice to Landlord within ten (10) days 
after the effective date of termination, rejection or disaffirmance to enter 
into a new lease of the Demised Premises with Landlord.  The term of the new 
lease shall begin on the date of the termination of this lease and shall 
continue for the remainder of the Lease Term.  Such new lease shall 
otherwise contain the same terms and conditions as those set forth herein, 
except for requirements which are no longer applicable or have already been 
performed, provided that all defaults which are susceptible of being 
remedied by the payment of money shall have been cured, and provided further 
that such new lease shall require the tenant thereunder promptly to commence 
and expeditiously continue to remedy all other

                                    -31-


defaults on the part of Tenant hereunder to the extent reasonably possible. 
It is the intention of the parties hereto that such new lease shall 
have the same priority relative to other rights or interests to or in the 
fee estate in the land covered by this lease and Landlord covenants to use 
commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be subordinated to such new lease 
any lien or encumbrance which is subject to this lease. The provisions of 
this Article XVIII shall survive the termination of this lease and shall 
continue in full force and effect thereafter to the same extent as if this 
Section 18.4 were a separate and independent contract by and among Landlord, 
Tenant and each Leasehold Lender. From the date on which any Leasehold 
Lender shall serve upon Landlord the aforesaid notice of the exercise of its 
rights to enter into a new lease, such Leasehold Lender may use and enjoy the 
Demised Premises without hindrance or interference by Landlord.

     18.5  No Leasehold Lender shall become personally liable for the 
performance or observance of any covenants or conditions to be performed or 
observed by Tenant unless and until such Leasehold Lender becomes the owner 
of Tenant's interest hereunder upon the exercise of any remedy provided for 
in any Leasehold Indenture or enters into a new lease with Landlord as herein 
provided.  Thereafter such Leasehold Lender shall be liable for the 
performance and observance of such covenants and conditions only so long as 
such Leasehold Lender owns such interest or is tenant under such new lease.

     18.6  Landlord agrees that the exercise of its rights under this lease in 
case of an Event of Default shall not, if the Leasehold Lender accepts a new 
lease pursuant to this Article XVIII, result in the merger of the estate of 
the sublandlord under any sublease with the estate of the subtenant 
thereunder.  The exercise of any rights of a Leasehold Lender under this 
Article XVIII shall not relieve Zayre Corp. of its obligations under the 
lease guarantee and Landlord's obligations hereunder shall be conditioned 
upon receipt of a written approval or consent by Zayre Corp., within 21 days 
after the Leasehold Lender provides a notice of its election, acknowledging 
that the performance of such obligations shall not relieve Zayre Corp. of its 
obligations under the lease guarantee.  If Landlord does not receive such 
written approval or consent, Landlord may terminate its obligations by 
delivering a notice of termination to the Leasehold Lender. Failure by Zayre 
to deliver such approval or consent shall not relieve it of any prior 
liability under its guarantee or of any subsequent liability if Landlord does 
not terminate Leasehold Lender's new lease.

     18.7  Without the prior written consent of each Leasehold Lender, Landlord 
will not accept a voluntary surrender of this lease or the estate created 
hereby and will not consent to any amendment of this lease.

                                    -32-


                                 ARTICLE XIX

                                   GENERAL

     19.1  INTERPRETATION.  It is the intention of the parties hereto that if 
any provision of this lease is capable of two constructions, one of which 
would render the provision void and the other of which would render the 
provision valid, the provision shall have the meaning which renders it valid.

     19.2  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  The words "Landlord" and "Tenant" and the 
pronouns referring thereto, as used in this lease, shall mean, where the 
context requires or admits, the persons named herein as Landlord and as 
Tenant, respectively, and their respective heirs, legal representatives, 
successors and assigns, irrespective of whether singular or plural, 
masculine, feminine or neuter.  The agreements and conditions in this lease 
contained on the part of Landlord to be performed and observe shall be 
binding upon Landlord and its heirs, legal representatives, successors and 
assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Tenant and its successors and 
assigns, and the agreements and conditions on the part of Tenant to be 
performed and observed shall be binding upon Tenant and its successors and 
assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Landlord and its heirs, legal 
representatives, successors and assigns.  If Landlord shall be more than one 
person, the obligations of Landlord hereunder shall be joint and several.

     19.3  DELAYS.  In any case where either party hereto is required to do any 
act (other than make a payment of money) delays caused by or resulting from 
Act of God, war, civil commotion, fire or other casualty, labor difficulties, 
general shortages of labor, materials or equipment, government regulations or 
other causes beyond such party's reasonable control shall not be counted in 
determining the time when the performance of such act must be completed, 
whether such time be designated by a fixed time, a fixed period of time or "a 
reasonable time".  In any case where work is to be paid for out of 
insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, due allowance shall be made, both 
to the party required to perform such work and to the party required to make 
such payment, for delays in the collection of such proceeds and awards.  The 
provisions of this Section shall not apply to the dates set forth in Articles 
IV and V.

     19.4  HOLDING OVER.  If Tenant or any person claiming under Tenant shall 
remain in possession of the Demised Premises or any part thereof after the 
expiration of the Lease Term without any agreement in writing between 
Landlord and Tenant with respect thereto, prior to acceptance of rent by 
Landlord the person remaining in possession shall be deemed a tenant at 
sufferance and after acceptance of rent by Landlord the person remaining in 
possession shall be deemed a tenant from month to month, subject to the 
provisions of this lease insofar as the same may be made applicable to a 
tenancy from month to month. The monthly rent for such person shall be equal 
to 125% of the rent for the immediately preceding one month period.

                                    -33-


     19.5  WAIVERS.  Failure of either party to complain of any act or omission 
on the part of the other party, no matter how long the same may continue, 
shall not be deemed to be a waiver by said party of any of its rights 
hereunder.  No waiver by either party at any time, express or implied, or any 
breach of any provision of this lease shall be deemed a waiver of a breach of 
any other provision of this lease or a consent to any subsequent breach of 
the same or any other provision.  If any action by either party shall 
require the consent or approval of the other party, the other party's consent 
to or approval of such action on any one occasion shall not be deemed a 
consent to or approval of said action on any subsequent occasion or a consent 
to or approval of any other action on the same or any subsequent occasion. 
Any and all rights and remedies which either party may have under this lease 
or by operation of law, either at law or in equity, upon any breach, shall be 
distinct, separate and cumulative and shall not be deemed inconsistent with 
each other; and no one of them, whether exercised by said party or not, shall 
be deemed to be in exclusion of any other; and any two or more or all of such 
rights and remedies may be exercised at the same time.  Without limiting the 
generality of the foregoing, if any restriction contained in this lease for 
the benefit of either party shall be violated, such party, without waiving 
any claim for breach of agreement against the other party, may bring such 
proceedings as it may deem necessary, either at law or in equity, in its own 
name or in the name of the other party, against the person violating said 
restriction.

     19.6  DISPUTES.  It is agreed that if at any time a dispute shall arise as 
to any amount or sum of money to be paid by one party to the other party 
under the provisions hereof, the party against whom the obligation to pay the 
money is asserted shall have the right to make payment "under protest", such 
payment not being regarded as a voluntary payment and there shall survive the 
right on the part of said party to institute suit for recovery of such sum 
and if it shall be adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part of 
said party to pay such sum or any part thereof, said party shall be entitled 
to recover such sum or so much thereof as it was not legally required to pay 
under the provisions of this lease; and if any time a dispute shall arise 
between the parties hereto as to any work to be performed by either of them 
under the provisions hereof, the party against whom the obligation to perform 
the work is asserted may perform such work and pay the cost thereof "under 
protest" and the performance of such work shall in no event be regarded as a 
voluntary performance, and there shall survive the right on the part of said 
party to institute suit for the recovery of the cost of such work, and if it 
shall be adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part of said 
party to perform the same or any part thereof, said party shall be entitled 
to recover the cost of such work or the cost of so much thereof as said party 
was not legally required to perform under the provisions of this lease.

     19.7  QUIET ENJOYMENT.  Landlord agrees that upon Tenant's paying the rent 
and performing and observing the agreements and conditions on its part to be 
performed and observed, Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold 
and enjoy the Demised Premises

                                    -34-


and all rights of Tenant hereunder during the Lease Term without any manner 
of hindrance or molestation.

     19.8  NOTICES.  Any and all notices, demands or other communications 
required or desired to be given hereunder by any party shall be in writing 
and shall be validly given or made to another party by either serving 
personally or by mailing in the United States mail, certified or registered, 
postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by Federal Express, Purolator 
Courier, Emery Air Freight, U.S. Post Office Express Mail, or similar 
overnight courier which delivers only upon signed receipt of addressee.  If 
such notice, demand or other communication be served personally, service 
shall be conclusively deemed made at the time of such personal service.  If 
such notice, demand or other communication be given by mail, such shall be 
conclusively deemed given forty-eight (48) hours after deposit thereof in 
the United States mail or twenty-four (24) hours after deposit thereof with 
such overnight courier, provided the same is addressed to the party to whom 
such notice, demand or other communication is to be given as hereinafter set 
forth:

                                    -35-




   19.9   COSTS.  Wherever in this lease provision is made for the 
doing of any act by any person it is understood and agreed that such 
act shall be done by such person at its own cost and expense unless a 
contrary intent is expressed.

   19.10   THIS INSTRUMENT.  This lease is transmitted for examination 
only and does not constitute an offer to lease, and this lease shall 
become effective only upon execution thereof by the parties thereto. 
This instrument contains the entire and only agreement between the 
parties, and no oral statements, representations matter not contained in
this instrument shall have any force or effect. This lease shall not be
modified in any way except by a writing subscribed by both parties.

   19.11   HEADINGS.  The headings for the various provisions of this 
lease are used only as a matter of convenience for reference, and are 
not to be considered a part of this lease or used in determining the 
intent of the parties to this lease.

   19.12   BROKERS.  Each of Landlord and Tenant warrants and 
represents to the other that it has dealt with no broker in connection 
with this lease.  Each party shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless 
the other party from and against all commissions, fees and expenses, 
and all claims therefor, in connection with this lease of, or by, any 
broker alleging he, she or it has dealt with the indemnitor party, 
including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees.

   19.13   CHOICE OF LAW.  This lease shall be governed by and 
construed pursuant to the laws of the State of California.


   19.14   SEVERABILITY.  Should any provision of this lease be or 
become invalid, void, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be considered 
separate and severable from this lease and the remaining provisions 
shall remain in force and be binding upon the parties hereto as though 
such provision had not been included.

   19.15   INTEREST ON RENT.  If Tenant tenders rent payments after 
their due dates three or more times in any given twelve month period, 
and if Landlord gave Tenant notice of such delinquency each time, and 
if Tenant also fails to pay the third such payment within fifteen days 
of Landlord's notice of such delinquency ("Late Payment ") then such 
Late Payment and each Late Payment (which Tenant fails to pay within 
15 days of Landlord's notice of such delinquency) thereafter in the 
same twelve month period, shall bear interest commencing on its due 
date, until paid, at the rate of twelve percent per annum, provided 
that a payment shall not be deemed a Late Payment unless Landlord 
gave Tenant a notice of delinquency and Tenant failed to tender the 
rent payment within 15 days after such notice.  Said amount shall 
become payable as additional rent, and Tenant shall pay Landlord such 
amount without notice or demand with the next month's payment of 
rent.

19.16   SCHEDULES INCORPORATED.  Schedules A, B, C, D, E and F

                                     -36-


attached hereto are hereby made a part hereof and incorporated herein 
to the same extent as if fully set forth herein.

   19.17   ATTORNEY FEES.  In the event that either Landlord or 
Tenant shall institute any action or proceeding against the other 
relating to the provisions of this lease, then the unsuccessful party 
shall reimburse the prevailing party for all reasonable attorney's fees 
and costs incurred in connection therewith, including, without limita-
tion, all such fees or costs incurred on any appeal from such action or
proceeding.

   19.18   PURCHASE OF LAND FOR SHOPPING CENTER. HomeClub acknowledges that 
Landlord does not own the land for the Shopping Center as of the execution of 
this lease.  Landlord represents that as of the execution of this lease by 
Landlord it is in escrow to purchase the land for the Shopping Center.  This 
lease is conditioned upon Landlord's purchase of said land.  If Landlord 
breaches its agreement to purchase said land, such breach shall also 
constitute a breach of this lease, except that, if Landlord fails to purchase 
said land because it failed to satisfy a condition of said purchase agreement 
notwithstanding Landlord's best efforts, said failure of the condition shall 
not constitute a breach of this Lease.  If Landlord fails to purchase said 
land for any reason other than its breach, this lease shall become null and 
void and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any rights or remedies 
against the other in connection with this lease.

   19.19   The liability of Landlord to Tenant for any default by 
Landlord under this Lease shall be limited to the interest of Landlord 
in the Demised Premises and Landlord's interest, if any, in the 
Shopping Center, and/or the proceeds from any sale or other transfer 
of the Demised Premises and/or Landlord's interest, if any, in the 
Shopping Center.  Tenant agrees to look solely to such interests 
and/or such proceeds for the recovery of any judgment against 
Landlord, and Landlord shall not be personally liable for any such 
judgment or deficiency after Tenant's execution upon such interests 
and/or such proceeds.  The limitation on liability contained in this 
Section shall inure to the benefit of Landlord's heirs, personal 
representatives, successors and assigns and their respective partners, 
shareholders, officers, directors, trustees, beneficiaries, agents and 
employees.  Under no circumstances shall any such person have any 
personal liability for the performance of Landlord's obligations under 
this Lease.  The word "Landlord", as used herein, means only the 
owner for the time being of Landlord's interest in this lease, that is, 
in the event of any transfer of landlord's interest in this lease, the 
transferor shall cease to be liable, and shall be released from all 
liability for the performance or observance of any agreements or con-
ditions on the part of Landlord to be performed or observed subse-
quent to the time of said transfer, provided that from and after said 
transfer the transferee shall have agreed with Tenant, in writing in 
recordable form, that such transferee shall have assumed and have 
agreed to perform the obligations of Landlord under this lease occur-
ring subsequent to the time of said transfer.

   19.20   Upon reasonable notice to Tenant (but not less than 3 
days in advance), and only if Tenant is given an opportunity and 
permitted to accompany, Landlord, its agents and employees shall have 
the right to enter the Demised Premises at all times during normal 
business hours to examine the same, to show them to prospective 
purchasers or lenders, to make such repairs as Landlord is obligated 
to make pursuant to this Lease, and to exercise such rights of 
self-help as Landlord is entitled to exercise pursuant to this Lease. 
In addition, during the six month period prior to the expiration of the 
Lease term or any renewal term, unless Tenant has exercised its 
option to extend the Lease term, Landlord may exhibit the Demised 
Premises to prospective Tenants, upon reasonable notice to Tenant 
(but not less than 3 days in advance), and only if Tenant is given an 
opportunity and permitted to accompany.

                    SALE OF DEMISED PREMISES BY LANDLORD

   20.1   In the event of any sale, exchange or other transfer of the 
Demised Premises by Landlord and an assignment by Landlord of this 
Lease, Landlord shall be entirely relieved of all liability under the 
terms, covenants and conditions set forth in this Lease arising out of 
any act or omission occurring after the assignment of this Lease, 
provided that the assignee assumes Landlord's covenants and obliga-
tions arising after the date of such assignment.  Tenant shall attorn to 
such new Landlord as of the date of the assignment.  Upon ten (10) 
days prior written notice from Landlord, Tenant shall from time to time 
execute and deliver to Landlord or any person designated by Landlord 
an estoppel certificate stating the current status of the material provi-
sions of this Lease, as specified in Section 15.5 above.  Any such 
statement may be relied upon by any purchaser or other transferee of 
the Demised Premises.

   IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this lease 
to be executed under seal as of the day and year first above written.

                                  SCHEDULE A


   The Demised Premises shall consist of a one-story building (the 
"Building"), to be constructed by Landlord as herein provided, con-
taining one hundred three thousand nine hundred and nine (103,909) 
square feet of floor area having a depth and width of two hundred 
eighty-one point four feet by three hundred sixty-nine point four feet 
(281.4 x 369.4) and other dimensions as shown upon the plan attached 
hereto ("the Lease Plan"), plus an exterior nursery area containing 
nine thousand eight hundred and eighty (9,880) square feet of floor 
area, all as shown on the Lease Plan.  In addition, Tenant shall have 
the exclusive right to use certain service areas adjacent to the De-
mised Premises which contain an exterior loading dock and compactor 
pad as shown on the Lease Plan.  It is expressly understood and 
agreed that said service areas and the exterior nursery area shall not 
be included in computing Tenant's Fraction (defined in Section 6.1) for 
purposes of Article VI and Paragraph 8 of Schedule B. If after 
completion of Landlord's Construction Work the Building shall contain 
less than the floor area required above then, in addition to all other 
remedies of Tenant, as a result thereof, the Minimum Rent payable by 
Tenant pursuant to Section 5.1 shall be reduced proportionately. 
Landlord agrees that the name of the Shopping Center shall not con-
tain the tradename of any business operated in the Shopping Center.

   The Demised Premises are situated within the shopping center to 
be constructed by Landlord, as herein provided, at the intersection of 
Whitman Avenue and 20th Street.  The "Shopping Center" (as defined 
herein) is the land, together with the buildings and other structures 
from time to time thereon, shown on the Lease Plan, and is more 
particularly described on the legal descriptions attached hereto on 
pages A-2 and A-3.

least ten (10) stores under the same trade name in three or more states.

     10.  Landlord shall maintain with respect to the Common Facilities 
throughout the Lease Term a policy or policies of public liability insurance 
in amounts of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) with respect 
to injuries to any one person and not less than Two Million Dollars 
($2,000,000.00) with respect to injuries suffered in any one accident and not 
less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) with respect to damage 
to property, such policies of insurance to name Tenant as an additional 
insured thereunder and be issued for periods of not less than one (1) year by 
responsible insurance companies well rated by national rating organizations 
and authorized to do business in the state in which the Shopping Center is 
located. Provided however, not more than once every five years Tenant may 
require that the amount of coverage be increased on the ground that such 
coverage is inadequate to properly protect the parties in accordance with 
generally accepted insurance standards for Shopping Centers of this kind and 
size. Landlord shall deliver such policies to Tenant at least fifteen (15) 
days prior to the Commencement Date, and each renewal policy at least ten 
(10) days prior to the expiration of the policy it renews. In lieu of 
delivering any policy of insurance to Tenant, Landlord may deliver to Tenant 
a Certificate of the company issuing such policy. All such insurance policies 
shall provide that such policies shall not be cancelled without at least ten 
(10) days prior written notice to Tenant.

     11.  Landlord shall, within five days after the close of escrow for 
landlord's acquisition of the land for the Shopping Center, deliver to Tenant 
a recognition agreement from any mortgagee whose mortgage shall be prior in 
lien to the lien of this lease and, if Landlord shall hold a leasehold estate 
in all or part of the Shopping Center rather than a fee interest, a 
recognition agreement from the fee owner. Each such recognition agreement 
shall be in recordable form and shall provide that this lease and all rights 
of Tenant hereunder shall not be disturbed except for a cause which would 
permit Landlord to disturb the same hereunder. Each such recognition 
agreement from a mortgagee or fee owner, as the case may be, shall also be 
substantially in the form of Schedule D. Tenant shall have the right to 
terminate this lease at any time within 120 days after Tenant learns that 
Landlord is not in compliance with the preceding provisions of this Paragraph 
11, provided that Tenant must give Landlord 30 days advance notice of such 
intent to terminate and Landlord may cure such non-compliance and negate said 
termination at any time during said 30 day period.

     12.  The Demised Premises are demised to Tenant with the benefit of all 
of the rights contained in this lease and all of the rights appurtenant to 
this lease and to the Demised Premises by operation of law, and are demised 
subject to, and with the benefit of, the following:

          (A)  General real estate taxes not yet due and payable.

          (B)  The Mortgage, if any, referred to in Schedule D.


                                      B-7




          (C)  The Permitted Exceptions as defined in Section 2.1 above.

          (D)  The REA referred to in Paragraph 13 below.

          (E)  Easements for utilities serving the Shopping Center.

     13.  Landlord shall enter into a Reciprocal Easement Agreement ("REA") 
acceptable to HomeClub, with respect to the balance of the Shopping Center 
(herein referred to as "Phase 11"). HomeClub shall not unreasonably 
withhold or delay its approval of the REA, provided it shall be reasonable to 
withhold its consent unless the REA shall protect fully Tenant's rights under 
this lease, shall give Tenant the right to enforce the provisions of the REA 
in the event Landlord fails to do so diligently, and shall not impose any 
additional obligations or costs on Tenant. Landlord upon entering into the 
REA will grant and demise to Tenant the benefit of all easements, licenses, 
rights-of-way, and privileges which the parties therein referred to did 
thereby give and grant one to the other and to all persons claiming 
thereunder. Landlord shall not, without the prior consent of Tenant, execute, 
or otherwise agree to, any modification of the REA, nor waive any of its 
rights, nor exercise any right, nor give any consent or approval, nor grant 
or permit any indulgences by act or omission, nor give any consent, 
thereunder. Landlord shall enforce all provisions of the REA.

     14.  Tenant may at any time give notice to Landlord that Tenant elects 
to perform the obligations of Landlord under Paragraphs 7 and 10 and, upon 
the thirtieth (30th) day after such notice, Tenant shall commence to, and 
thereafter shall, perform such obligations, and no further obligations shall 
thereafter accrue under Paragraphs 8 and 10 hereof except as otherwise 
determined pursuant to the penultimate sentence of this Paragraph 14. In such 
event, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, for each year or portion thereof 
thereafter included within the Lease Term, as partial reimbursement to Tenant 
of the cost to Tenant of performing such obligations, an amount equal to the 
product of "Landlord's Fraction" (hereinafter defined) and the cost of 
performing such obligations during said year. Said amount shall be payable 
periodically, but not more frequently than monthly, upon Landlord's receipt 
of bills from Tenant. Tenant shall submit to Landlord evidence of such cost 
to Tenant in such detail as Landlord may reasonably require. Landlord's 
Fraction is that fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of 
square feet of floor area in all the buildings in the Shopping Center except 
the Demised Premises and the denominator of which shall be the denominator of 
Tenant's Fraction (defined in Section 6.1), but in no event shall Landlord's 
Fraction be less than 53%, except if the size of the Demised Premises is 
increased, in which case Landlord's Fraction shall be adjusted accordingly. 
Subject to the prior sentence, as the number of square feet of floor area may 
change during any year, Landlord's Fraction may change during said year and 
the amount payable by Landlord for said year pursuant to the provisions of 
this Paragraph 14 shall reflect such changes in floor area. At any time after 
the giving of notice by Tenant pursuant to the first sentence of this 
Paragraph 14, Tenant may give notice to Landlord


                                      B-8




that Tenant elects to have Landlord again perform such obligations of 
Landlord under said Paragraphs 7 and 10 and upon the thirtieth (30th) day 
after such notice from Tenant Landlord shall commence to, and thereafter 
shall, perform such obligations and the provisions of Paragraphs 7 and 10 
shall again be operative and the provisions of this Paragraph 14 shall be 
subject to the provisions of Section 8.3 and nothing in this Paragraph 14 
shall obligate Tenant to make any alterations, repairs or replacements to the 
common areas that are required during the first twenty-four (24) months of 
the Lease Term.

     15.  Landlord and Tenant will maintain the Shopping Center and conduct 
their business thereon in compliance with all federal, state or local laws 
and regulations relating to pollution control, hazardous or toxic wastes, 
substances and constituents, including hydrocarbonic substances, and other 
environmental and ecological matters, including but not limited to the 
Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. Sect. 1251 et seq.), Resource 
Conservation & Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. Sect. 6901 et seq.), Safe Drinking 
Water Act (42 U.S.C. Sect. 3000f et seq.), Toxic Substances Control Act (15 
U.S.C. Sect. 2601 et seq.), the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. Sect. 7401 et seq.), 
Comprehensive Environmental Response of Compensation and Liability Act (42 
U.S.C. Sect. 9601, et seq.), California Health & Safety Code (25100 et seq., 
39000 et seq.), California Water Code (13000 et seq.), and other comparable 
state laws. If Landlord or Tenant shall receive: (a) any notice of any 
violation or administrative or judicial complaint or order having been filed 
or about to be filed against Landlord, Tenant, the Shopping Center or the 
Demised Premises alleging violations of any federal, state or local 
environmental law or regulation or requiring Landlord or Tenant to take any 
action in connection with the release of any toxic or hazardous substance, 
waste or constituent, including any hydrocarbonic substance, into the 
environment, or (b) any notice from a federal, state or local governmental 
agency or private party alleging that Landlord or Tenant may be liable or 
responsible for costs associated with a response or cleanup of a release of a 
toxic or hazardous substance, waste or constituent, including any 
hydrocarbonic substance, into the environment or any damages caused by that 
release, Landlord or Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days of receipt 
thereof, provide the other party with a copy of such notice and thereafter 
shall diligently proceed to take all actions necessary to correct such 
violation. Landlord and Tenant agree to indemnify and hold each other 
harmless from and against all causes, claims, demands, losses, damages, 
liens, liabilities, lawsuits and other proceedings, costs and expenses 
(including without limitation attorneys' fees) incurred, directly or 
indirectly, by the indemnitee as a result of or in connection with 
indemnitor's failure to comply with any of the provisions of this 
Paragraph 15.

                         LANDLORD'S CONSTRUCTION WORK

     Below are Tenant's Requirements. Landlord agrees that within thirty (30) 
days after the date of this lease Landlord shall submit to Tenant, for 
Tenant's approval, detailed plans and detailed specifications ("the 
Details"), which shall be in conformity with Tenant's Requirements. The 
Details shall be submitted in duplicate, including working drawings and 
design analysis. If, within fifteen (15) days after Tenant shall have 
received a complete set of the Details, Tenant shall not give notice of any 
comments thereon, then such complete set of the Details shall be deemed 
approved by Tenant. If, within fifteen (15) days after Tenant shall have 
received such complete set of Details, Tenant shall give Landlord notice of 
comments thereon, Landlord shall forthwith revise the Details in accordance 
with said comments to the extent that said comments shall be in conformity 
with Tenant's requirements and resubmit the Details, as so revised, to Tenant 
for approval within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Tenant's notice of 
comments, and the procedure for approval and/or comments by Tenant above set 
forth shall be repeated until the Details shall be finally approved except 
that the time limit for approval and revision shall be fifteen (15) days. 
Provided, however, if Tenant fails to give Landlord any of the above-
mentioned notices within five (5) days from receipt of each set of Details, 
then the dates referred to in Section 4.6, 4.7, and 5.1(D) shall be extended 
on a day for day basis for each additional day Tenant fails to respond up to 
a total of ten days for each approval period.

     At any time after the Details, as the same may be revised as aforesaid, 
shall be approved by Tenant, as aforesaid, and prior to completion of 
construction thereunder, Tenant may give notice to Landlord of changes it 
desires in the Details as the same may have been revised, as aforesaid. 
Changes which do not affect the structure and do not delay the completion of 
construction work shall not require the approval of Landlord; changes which 
do affect the structure or which do delay the completion of construction work 
shall require the approval of Landlord, which approval Landlord agrees it 
will not unreasonably delay or withhold, and the dates referred to in 
Sections 4.6, 4.7, and 5.1(D) shall be extended on a day for day basis for 
each day construction is delayed. The Details, as the same may be revised and 
changed as aforesaid, shall be known as "Landlord's Construction Work".

     If Tenant shall give notice to Landlord that extensive changes have been 
involved, Landlord will furnish "as built" drawings. Upon completion of 
construction Landlord shall furnish photographs and operating instructions as 
provided in said document entitled Outline Specifications for a HomeClub 
Store (hereinafter referred to).

     Prior to the commencement of Landlord's Construction Work, Landlord 
shall submit to Tenant for its approval a critical path construction 
schedule, and about the first day of each month during


                                      C-1




Landlord's Construction Work Landlord shall submit to Tenant for its approval 
a revised critical path construction schedule.

     Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 3.1 of this lease, any net 
increase in the cost of Landlord's Construction Work, including, without 
limitation, the cost to Landlord of its interest payment on the construction 
loan for the Demised Premises, caused by changes made by Tenant, as 
aforesaid, after the Details have been approved by Tenant shall be paid by 
Tenant to Landlord upon demand, at the time when Landlord shall be required 
to pay the same to Landlord's contractors or other parties, provided that 
Landlord shall, prior to the commencement of construction of such changes, 
have notified Tenant of such increase and Tenant shall have approved of the 
cost of such increase.

     No agent or employee of Tenant other than an officer of Tenant or an 
agent or employee of Tenant designated in writing for the purpose by an 
officer of Tenant has any authority to approve any plans or specifications or 
approve any changes in plans or specifications, and any approval by an officer 
or such agent or employee shall not be binding upon Tenant unless such 
approval shall be in writing.

     Unless Tenant shall expressly agree in writing that any requirement of 
Tenant's Requirements shall be waived or altered, every requirement of 
Tenant's Requirements shall be complied with by Landlord, except to the 
extent Tenant's Requirements shall have been waived or altered by Tenant's 
approval of the Details or change orders, as provided above. Such waiver or 
alteration can be accomplished only by a writing signed by an officer of 
Tenant or an agent or employee of Tenant, which writing sufficiently 
identifies said requirement and states that the same is waived or altered. 
Notwithstanding any approval hereunder by Tenant, Landlord shall be solely 
responsible in all cases for proper design and coordination of architectural, 
structural, plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilating, air conditioning and 
site elements of the Demised Premises.

     Tenant's Requirements are such work (labor, materials and equipment) as 
shall be required to construct a HomeClub store building and Common 
Facilities which when completed will be equal in all detail to the HomeClub 
store building and Common Facilities provided for in (a) the Store Plans 
(hereinafter referred to), and (b) Prototype Specifications for a HomeClub 
Store. Also, if site conditions, local codes or other requirements of local 
authorities require differences in construction, Store Plans and Prototype 
Specifications shall be further modified and supplemented to reflect such 
differences but no modifications thereof prepared in accordance with the 
provisions of this sentence or the sentence immediately preceding shall be 
permitted because of local codes or other requirements of local authorities, 
unless without such modifications said Store Plans and Prototype 
Specifications would violate local codes or other requirements of local 
authorities. The Store Plans consist of the following drawings prepared by 
Griffin & Banks Architects, Inc. as job number 86-29:

                                GUARANTEE

     Reference is made to a Shopping Center Lease (the "Lease") dated June 6, 
1988, between DOUGLAS W. BRADFORD (hereinafter referred to as "Landlord"), 
and HOMECLUB, INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as 
"Tenant"), of certain premises within the shopping center in Chico, 
California, located at the intersection of Whitman Avenue and 20th Street.

     In consideration of Landlord's having executed said Lease at the request 
of Zayre Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Zayre" or "Guarantor"), and in 
further consideration of One Dollar and other valuable consideration paid, 
the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Zayre hereby unconditionally 
guarantees to Landlord and his heirs, personal representatives, successors 
and assigns the payment of the rent provided for in said Lease and the 
performance and observance of all agreements and conditions contained in said 
Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed. At Landlord's 
election, Zayre may be brought into any action or proceeding commenced by 
Landlord against Tenant in connection with and based upon said Lease, or any 
provision thereof, prior to obtaining a judgment against Tenant therein. 
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Zayre shall have 
all defenses and rights of Tenant and its successors and assigns (except 
their financial disability) with respect to the performance and payments 
under the Lease and the obligations of Zayre hereunder shall be measured by 
and shall in no event be greater than the obligations of Tenant. Zayre hereby 
agrees that it shall in no way be released from its obligations under this 
Guarantee by any of the following actions: any assignment of said Lease or 
any subletting of the demised premises by Tenant, any Leasehold Lender, or 
any subtenant, successor, or assignee of Tenant, any new Lease with Leasehold 
Lender or party designated by such Lender as provided in Section 18.6 of the 
Lease, any waiver of default or any extension of time or other favor or 
indulgence granted by Landlord to Tenant, any failure to receive notice of 
any of said actions, the expiration or termination of the Lease (except as 
provided below), or any extension of the terms of the Lease in accordance 
with the provisions of the Lease. Zayre hereby waives notice of non-payment 
of any other default in the performance or observance of any agreement or 
condition contained in said Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed or 
observed.

     Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding: (A) if said Lease shall 
be terminated pursuant to the provisions of Article 12 of said Lease at a 
time when the tenant in 



possession shall not be Zayre, or a subsidiary of Zayre, then Zayre shall not 
be liable for the payment of any rent or for the performance or observance of 
any agreements or conditions to be paid, performed or observed which become 
due or arise after the date of such termination, unless at the time of such 
termination Landlord shall have offered to Zayre in writing a Lease for the 
balance of the Lease Term (as defined in the Lease) upon the provisions in 
said Lease contained; Zayre shall have a period of sixty (60) days after 
receipt of such offer to accept such offer. If Zayre accepts Landlord's 
offer, then such Lease shall be deemed to mitigate Landlord's damages.

     (B)  If Tenant is adjudicated bankrupt, or if any bankruptcy action 
involving Tenant is commenced or filed, or if a petition or reorganization, 
arrangement, or similar relief is filed against Tenant, then subject to the 
foregoing at such time as the trustee or administrator rejects the Lease, 
Zayre shall pay to Landlord all accrued, unpaid rent upon the condition that 
within thirty (30) days following notice to Landlord of such rejection 
Landlord shall have offered to Zayre in writing a Lease for the balance of 
the Lease Term upon the provisions of the Lease, including payment of the 
rental obligations as provided above, which offer must remain open for not 
less than sixty (60) days after receipt of such written offer. If Zayre 
accepts Landlord's offer, then such Lease shall be deemed to mitigate 
Landlord's damages

     In the event that any legal action or other proceeding  is commenced 
with respect to this Guarantee, the unsuccessful party shall reimburse the 
prevailing party for all reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred in 
connection therewith, including, without limitation all such fees or costs 
incurred on any appeal from such action or proceeding.

     This Guarantee shall bind the successors and assigns of Guarantor, and 
it shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, personal representations, 
successors and assigns of Landlord. Guarantor further agrees that Landlord 
may, without approval, assign its rights under this Guarantee, in whole or 
in part, to any person or entity obtaining an ownership interest or security 
interest of any nature in the Lease, provided that, unless Tenant is a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of Guarantor at the time, Landlord shall give notice 
of such assignment within thirty (30) days thereof to Guarantor.

     This Guarantee shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, 
the laws of the State of California.



     No provisions of this Guarantee or right of Landlord hereunder can be 
waived in whole or in part, nor can Zayre be released from Zayre's 
obligations hereunder, except either by a) a writing duly executed by 
Landlord and an authorized officer of Landlord's lender, if any, holding a 
lien upon the Demised Premises as defined in the Lease, b) operation of law, 
or c) operation of the Lease.

     Zayre represents that HomeClub is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zayre.

     Zayre has caused this Guarantee to be executed and its corporate seal to 
be hereto affixed by Maurice Segall, its President, and George Freeman, its 
Vice President hereunto duly authorized all as of the 6th day of June, 1988.
