SECTION 17.04 HOLDING OVER If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the term hereof without the express written consent of Landlord, such occupancy shall not be deemed a renewal or extension of this Lease for any term whatsoever or for a month to month tenancy. To the extent Tenant occupies the Premises beyond the term of this Lease, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as rent per day a sum equal to 150% of the monthly minimum rent per day applicable to the last month of the term hereof, adjusted as provided in Section 3.02 above, together with all other charges payable hereunder, and to otherwise abide by all the terms, convenants and conditions of this Lease applicable to such occupancy. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the termination of this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from loss or liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by the succeeding tenant arising out of such failure to surrender the Premises. SECTION 17.05 RELOCATION OF PREMISES This paragraph has been cross out and initialed. SECTION 17.06 TRANSFER OF LANDLORD'S INTEREST In the event of any transfer of Landlord's interest in the Premises, Landlord shall be automatically relieved of any and all obligations and liabilities on the part of Landlord accruing from and after the date of such transfer. At such time Landlord shall transfer the portion of the security deposit remaining (after any deductions made pursuant to Section 17.09) to Landlord's successor in interest, and thereafter notify Tenant of such transfer, of any claims made against the security deposit, and of the transferee's name and address, after which Landlord shall be relieved of any further liability with respect to the security deposit. SECTION 17.07 FLOOR AREA As used in this Lease, "gross ground floor area" means, with respect to the Premises and with respect to each store area separately leased, the aggregate of (a) the number of square feet of floor space on the ground floor level, measured from the exterior faces of exterior walls and the center line of party walls, and (b) all outside selling areas used for the sale of merchandise by tenants.

SECTION 17.08 SEPARABILITY Any provision of this Lease which shall prove to be invalid, void or illegal shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate any other provision hereof, and such remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. SECTION 17.09 SECURITY DEPOSIT Tenant has deposited with Landlord the amount specified in the applicable Lease Summary Provision, as security for the full and faithful performance of every provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, and Tenant shall, from time to time upon Landlord's request, augment the security deposit by the amount of any percentage increase in the CPI as computed in accordance with Section 3.02. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provisions of this Lease, Landlord may use, apply or retain all or any part of the security deposit for the payment of any rent or other sum in default, or for the payment of any other amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant's default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant's default including, without limitation, Tenant's failure to comply with its obligation pursuant to Section 17.30 herein. If any portion of said security deposit is so use or applied, Tenant shall, within five days after written demand therefore, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the security deposit to its original amount plus any CPI increase adjustment, and Tenant's failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep the security deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on such security deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the security deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlords' option, to the last assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder) within 10 days after the expiration of the Lease term. Nothing contained in this section 17.09 shall in any way diminish or be construed as waiving any of Landlord's other remedies otherwise set forth in this Lease, or by law or equity. SECTION 17.10 LATE CHARGES Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord's designee within five days after said amount is due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to 10% of such overdue amount, plus any attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's failure to pay rent and/or other charges when due hereunder. The parties hereby agree that such late charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Landlord will incur by reason of the late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charges by the Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount, not prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. Landlord may, at its option, include all late charges accrued during any calendar year in Tenant's estimated charges for the ensuing year. SECTION 17.11 INTEREST Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, any sum accruing to Landlord under the terms and provisions of this Lease which shall not be paid when due shall bear interest at the lower of 12% per annum or the highest lawful rate from the date the same becomes due and payable by the terms and provisions of this Lease until paid by Tenant. The highest lawful rate shall be determined as of the 25th day of the month preceding the date when such sum becomes payable. SECTION 17.12 TIME OF ESSENCE Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every provision of this Lease in which time of performance is a factor. SECTION 17.13 HEADINGS The article and section captions and the placement of particular provisions under certain Articles or Sections contained in this Lease are for convenience only and shall not be considered in the construction or interpretation of any provision hereof. 8 SECTION 17.14 INCORPORATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS; AMENDMENTS This Lease contains all of the agreements of the parties hereto with respect to any matter covered or mentioned in this Lease, and no agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective for any purpose.

Tenant acknowledges that in executing this Lease, Tenant is not relying on any representations, oral or written unless such representations are specifically stated in this Lease.

SECTION 17.17 WAIVERS No waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be effective unless in writing or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Tenant of the same or any other provision. Landlord's consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord's consent or approval shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord's consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant, whether or not similar to the act so consented to or approved. SECTION 17.18 OTHER LOCATIONS Neither Tenant, nor any affiliate or subsidiary of Tenant, directly or indirectly, shall operate, manage or have any interest in any other competing or similar store or business, including a department or concession in another store, within a five-mile radius outward from the Shopping Center, measured from the nearest outside boundary of the Shopping Center. Without limiting Landlord's remedies, if Tenant should violate this covenant, Landlord may, at its option, include the gross sales of such other store in the gross sales transacted in the Premises for the purpose of computing the percentage rent due hereunder, as though such sales had actually been made from the Premises. If Landlord so elects, all the provisions of Articles III and IV relating to the payment of rent and to accounting shall be applicable to such other store. However, any such store existing as of the date of this Lease may continue to be operated, managed, conducted and owned in the same manner as on the date of this Lease.

The provisions of this Section 17.25 shall not operate to excuse Tenant from the prompt payment of monthly minimum rent, additional rent or other payments required by the terms of this Lease.

In order to receive such approval, this Lease may have to be amended or modified.

It is agreed, however, that no such amendment or modification shall be required of Tenant after the Rent Commencement Date. If Tenant fails to consent to any such amendment or modification, Landlord, at its option, may cancel and terminate this Lease on 30 days' written notice to Tenant, without liability to Landlord or Tenant. For purposes of this Section 17.26, lender or lenders shall include any financial institution holding a mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, insurance company, pension fund or other lending institution. SECTION 17.27 LIMITATION OF LANDLORD'S LIABILITY Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant agrees that it shall look solely to the estate and property of Landlord in the land and buildings comprising the Shopping Center and/or building within which the Premises are located, and subject to prior rights of the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust of the Premises, for the collection of any judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of money by Landlord in the event of any default or 9 breach by Landlord with respect to any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be observed and/or performed by Landlord, and no other assets of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or any procedures for the satisfaction of Tenant's remedies. SECTION 17.28 TENANT'S PERFORMANCE If Tenant shall fail within anytime limits which maybe provided herein, or in any exhibit hereto, to complete any work or perform any of the requirements provided to be performed by Tenant prior to the Rent Commencement Date, or if Tenant shall cause a delay in the completion of any work, then Landlord shall have the option of terminating this Lease by a written notice of termination and upon forwarding of said notice to Tenant, this Lease shall cease and terminate and all improvements which Tenant may have annexed to the realty to the date of such termination shall become the property of Landlord. SECTION 17.29 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY To the extent legally possible, the parties hereto waive their right to trial by jury in any action arising out of this Lease. SECTION 17.30 TENANT'S PROPERTY AND REPAIR OF PREMISES AT TERMINATION (a) Upon the expiration of the term of this Lease, or upon any earlier termination thereof, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord all keys for the Premises, the combination of all locks and safes, if any, on the Premises, and surrender the Premises in the same condition as when received, broom clean, and provided that Tenant is not in default, Tenant shall remove, at its own expense, all trade fixtures, equipment, merchandise and other personal property ("Tenant's property") which were installed by Tenant or any subtenant, concessionaire or licensee, in or on the Premises.

Tenant shall complete such removal, repair and/or payment upon the expiration of the term of this Lease or upon any earlier termination thereof. (d) If Tenant fails to remove its property upon the expiration of the term of this Lease, or upon any earlier termination thereof, or if Tenant is in default, Tenant shall not remove its property unless notified by Landlord to do so, and title thereto shall immediately vest in Landlord without the execution of documents of sale or conveyance by Tenant.

(e) In addition to the above-described rights of Landlord in Tenant's property upon default, expiration of Lease term, or termination of Lease, Tenant hereby grants Landlord a security interest in all of Tenant's personal property located on the Premises, to secure full performance by Tenant of all obligations under this Lease. However, while Tenant is not in default in the payment of rent or any of its obligations under this Lease, it may trade in or replace any of said items free of this security interest and the security shall them apply to the newly-acquired items. This security interest shall be deemed perfected, by possession, on the first date that Tenant's property is located on the Premises. Landlord shall, within 15 business days after written demand from Tenant, provided that Tenant is not in default of its obligations under this Lease, execute and deliver in a form and content satisfactory to Landlord, a document required by any supplier, lessor, or lender in connection with the installation in the Premises of Tenant's personal property or Tenant's trade fixture, in which Landlord waives any security interest it may have or acquire with respect to that property, if the supplier, lessor, or lender agrees in writing that: (i) it will remove such property from the Premises before expiration of the term or within five days after termination of the term, and if it does not remove such property within said five days after termination of the term, and if it does not remove such property within said five days, it shall have waived any rights it may have had to such property, and (ii) it shall make whatever restorations to the Premises are necessitated by the installation, maintenance, or removal of Tenant's property, or pay to Landlord the cost for such restoration.

Promptly following the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease, if requested by Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a recordable written instrument releasing and quitclaiming to Landlord all right, title and interest in the Premises by reason of this Lease or otherwise. SECTION 17.33 AUTHORITY OF TENANT If Tenant is a corporation, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of said corporation represents and warrants that he is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of said corporation, in accordance with its terms. If a corporation executes this Lease as Tenant, Tenant shall promptly furnish to Landlord certified corporate resolutions attesting to the authority of the officers to execute the Lease of such corporation. SECTION 17.34 NO OPTION TO LEASE The submission by Tenant of this Lease to Landlord does not constitute a reservation of or option to lease the Premises, and this Lease becomes effective only upon execution by Tenant and Landlord.

Provided, however, that Tenant may not exercise this right if the Tenant has received three (3) or more notices of default throughout the initial term of this Lease, whether or not those defaults were cured, or at any time when Tenant has breached and not cured or is in default under this Lease. Should Tenant breach or default under this Lease at any time after giving notice of extension and prior to the first day of the extended term, Landlord shall have the right to declare Tenant's notice void and of no effect, and the term of this Lease shall expire as if notice had not been given. Such Lease extension shall be upon the identical terms and conditions as set forth in the Lease, except that the rental to be paid by Tenant hereunder shall be increased as of the commencement of the extended term to the greater of: (a) the rent for the period immediately preceding the option period, increased as provided in and subject tot the provisions of Section 3.02 of the Lease, or (b) market rent for like space in the area, as determined by negotiation between Landlord and Tenant.

This OPTION TO RENEW or extend may be exercised only by the original Tenant while physically occupying the Premises and any consent by Landlord to assignment or sublease of the Premises shall not be construed as a waiver of this prohibition.
