DEMISE AND CONSTRUCTION
2.01 DEMISE. Upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease,
Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby hires from Landlord, the
Demised Premises, for the Term. Tenant acknowledges that the dimensions, shape
and location of the Demised Premises as described herein are approximate and it
is agreed and understood by Tenant that, upon the completion of the construction
of the Demised Premises, the actual number of square feet of Floor Space will be
measured by Landlord and Tenant and the number of square feet of Floor Space
previously stated in Section 1.01(F) adjusted as may be required, but in no
event shall Tenant be required to pay Rent with respect to Floor Space being
greater than 3,675 square feet. Tenant also acknowledges that Landlord reserves
the right to change the unit designation (but not the location) of the Demised
Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord reserves exclusively to
itself and Tenant shall have no right in and to (a) the use of the exterior
faces of all perimeter walls, (b) the use of the roof, (c) the use of the land,
improvements and space below the bottom of the lower floor slabs of the Demised
Premises and above the interior surface of the ceiling of the Demised Premises,
and (d) the use of the improvements and space above the highest ceiling of the
Demised Premises. Landlord also reserves and Tenant shall have no right in and
to the air rights above Tenant's store.
2.02 CONSTRUCTION. A. Landlord shall construct and complete the Demised
Premises to the extent required to substantially comply with the requirements of
Exhibit "A". The Demised Premises shall be delivered to the Tenant in good
order and condition as far as the aforesaid requirements require.
B. Provided Tenant shall not be in default under the terms of this
Lease beyond any applicable grace period, Tenant shall be entitled to Tenant's
Improvement Allowance toward Tenant's out-of-pocket expenditures made for
Tenant's leasehold improvements. Tenant shall submit lien waivers and proof
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord at Landlord's main office of the payment by
Tenant for such leasehold improvements up to the amount of Tenant's Improvement
6
Allowance. Such proof shall be submitted no later than one hundred twenty (120)
days from the Rent Commencement Date. If any such proof shall not be timely
submitted, Tenant shall no longer be entitled to that portion of Tenant's
Improvement Allowance which was to be represented by such proof. Landlord shall
have the option either (a) to pay to Tenant the full amount of such allowance or
any part thereof on the date which is 45 days subsequent to the date by which
proof of payment by Tenant for such leasehold improvements has been submitted to
Landlord or (b) to permit Tenant to deduct the amount of any remaining allowance
not paid to Tenant by Landlord hereunder from the next installment(s) of Fixed
Rent due and owing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord shall elect to
make any such payments, in no event shall such payment be due and payable before
the opening of the Demised Premises to the public for business. For the
purposes of this Section, Tenant's leasehold improvements shall only include
those items described in the first full sentence of Section 15.03 and shall
specifically exclude movable trade fixtures and other personal property of
Tenant.
2.03 ACCEPTANCE OF DEMISED PREMISES. Within thirty (30) days of entry by
the Tenant upon the Demised Premises, Tenant will advise Landlord of any
conditions of Landlord's Work which do not conform with Exhibit "A". Upon the
expiration of the thirty-day period herein, the Demised Premises shall be
conclusively deemed accepted by Tenant subject to the conditions in such advice.
Landlord shall have no responsibility in any respect for damages to property of
Tenant caused by water, flooding, waves or fluids of any nature or origin
whatsoever, unless caused by the act, omission or negligence of Landlord, its
agents, employees, contractors or any other party for whom Landlord is legally
responsible. If Landlord shall default in the performance or observance of any
agreement or condition on its part to be performed or observed relating to the
Demised Premises and if Landlord shall not cure such default within thirty (30)
days after notice from Tenant specifying the default (or if said default is not
capable of being cured within thirty days, and if Landlord shall not within said
period commence to cure such default and diligently endeavor to completely cure
said default), Tenant may with respect to the Demised Premises only and not with
respect to the Common Area, at any time thereafter cure such default for the
account of Landlord, and any reasonable amount paid or incurred by Tenant in so
doing shall be deemed paid or incurred for the account of Landlord, and Landlord
agrees to reimburse Tenant therefor within fifteen (15) days after demand. If
Tenant shall exercise its right to cure any such default of Landlord, such right
to cure shall be Tenant's sole remedy hereunder.
ARTICLE III
FIXED RENT, ADDITIONAL RENT AND SECURITY
3.01 PAYMENT OF FIXED RENT AND ADDITIONAL RENT. Commencing upon the Rent
Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay the Fixed Rent in equal monthly installments
in advance of the first day of each month during the Term, except that if the
Rent Commencement Date is not the first day of a month, Fixed Rent for the
period commencing on the Rent Commencement Date and ending on the last day of
the month in which the Rent Commencement Date occurs shall be apportioned on the
basis of the number of days in said month as compared to 365 days and paid on
the Rent Commencement Date. The Fixed Rent and all Additional Rent shall be
paid promptly when due, in lawful money of the United States, without notice or
demand and without deduction, abatement, counterclaim or setoff of any amount or
for any reason whatsoever, to Landlord at the address of Landlord set forth at
the head of this Lease or such other address as Landlord may designate or to
such other person as Landlord may designate.
3.02 PERCENTAGE RENT. A. Within 10 days after the end of each calendar
month, Tenant shall submit to Landlord a statement certified by Tenant (by an
7
authorized officer if Tenant is a corporation or by a partner if Tenant is a
partnership) stating the Gross Sales (including an itemization of all claimed
deductions therefrom) for such month. For that calendar month in which
cumulative Gross Sales for the calendar year in question shall exceed Base Gross
Sales for such year, Tenant shall simultaneously therewith pay to Landlord, as
Percentage Rent, an amount equal to the product of (a) the Percentage Rent Rate
and (b) the difference between the cumulative Gross Sales for the calendar year
in question and the Base Gross Sales. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay
simultaneously with each monthly report to Landlord, as Percentage Rent, for the
remainder of such calendar year, an amount equal to the product of (a) the
Percentage Rent Rate and (b) the Gross Sales for each succeeding calendar month.
For any partial calendar year at the beginning or end of the Term, the Base
Gross Sales shall be pro-rated based on the actual number of days in such year.
For the purpose of this paragraph, any partial calendar year at the beginning of
the Term shall be deemed to commence on the day the Tenant first opens the
Demised Premises for business. Within sixty (60) days after the end of each
calendar year (including any partial calendar year at the beginning of the Term)
and after the end of the Term, Tenant shall submit to Landlord a statement
certified by an independent certified public accountant stating the Gross Sales
(including an itemization of all claimed deductions therefrom), for such
calendar year or partial calendar year, as the case may be. During any period
of time (computed on a daily basis) when the Demised Premises is not open for
business to the public when required under this Lease to be so open, then, for
purposes of computing the Percentage Rent hereunder, Gross Sales for the
period(s) of the immediately preceding calendar year corresponding to the
periods of closure of the Demised Premises during the then current calendar year
(or in the case of a closing during the first year of the Term, Gross Sales for
such year, or portion thereof, shall be increased proportionally to correspond
to the periods of closure of the Demised Premises) shall be added to the Gross
Sales for such current calendar year. Tenant shall require its subtenants,
concessionaires and licensees to furnish similar statements as are required
hereunder. All such statements shall be in such form and style and contain such
details and breakdown as Landlord may reasonably require. If Tenant shall fail
to prepare and deliver said statement of Gross Sales required herein, Landlord,
after thirty (30) days written notice to Tenant and the Tenant's failure to cure
within said thirty-day period, may do any and all of the following: (i) elect
to treat Tenant's failure to report as a default of this Lease, with respect to
which Tenant shall not be entitled to any further notice or opportunity to cure;
(ii) elect to make an audit of all books and records of Tenant which in any way
pertain to or show Gross Sales and to prepare the statement or statements which
Tenant has failed to prepare and deliver. The statement or statements so
prepared by Landlord shall be conclusively binding on Tenant, and Tenant shall
pay on demand all expenses of such audit and of the preparation of any such
statements and all sums as may be shown by such audit to be due as Percentage
Rent.
B. Tenant will install, and during the Term of this Lease will
maintain, a cash register or registers capable of recording continuous totals of
all receipts of sales made and services rendered in and from the Demised
Premises. For at least 36 months after the expiration of each calendar year
(including any partial calendar year at the beginning of the Term) and after the
end of the Term, Tenant shall keep and maintain (and shall cause all subtenants,
concessionaires and licensees to keep and maintain) in the Demised Premises or
the main office of Tenant full and accurate books of account and records
(including, without limitation, the records of the aforementioned cash register
or registers) from which the Gross Sales can be determined for the period in
question. Landlord shall have the right from time to time during such
thirty-six (36) month period, during Tenant's business hours and upon reasonable
prior notice to Tenant, to inspect and audit all such books and records relating
to Gross Sales, and Tenant, each subtenant, concessionaire and licensee will
produce the same on request of Landlord. If any such inspection and audit
discloses that the Gross Sales were understated, Tenant shall forthwith pay to
Landlord any additional Percentage Rent shown to be payable, and if the Gross
Sales for any
8
calendar year or partial calendar year were understated by more than four (4%)
percent, Tenant shall also pay the cost of Landlord's inspection and audit.
Landlord does not, in any way or for any purpose, become a partner or joint
venturer with Tenant hereunder. The provisions of this Lease relating to
Percentage Rent are included solely for the purpose of providing a method
whereby rentals are to be measured and ascertained.
3.03 TAXES. Landlord shall estimate Tenant's annual proportionate share of
Real Estate Taxes (which estimate may be changed by Landlord, at any time and
from time to time), and Tenant shall pay to Landlord 1/12th of the amount so
estimated on the first day of each calendar month in advance. Until Landlord
shall have delivered a revised estimate to Tenant, Tenant shall continue to pay
its proportionate share of Real Estate Taxes at the same rate as Tenant was then
paying (I.E. Tenant shall continue to make the same monthly installment until a
revised estimate is delivered). After Landlord delivers a revised estimate,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord any shortfall between the estimated monthly
payments, as revised, and the actual payments made to date for the calendar year
in question. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord on demand from time to time the
amount which, together with the previously specified monthly installments, will
be sufficient to pay Tenant's proportionate share of any such Real Estate Taxes
30 days prior to the date when such Real Estate Taxes shall first become due.
If Tenant's proportionate share eventually calculated for any period is more or
less than the amount paid for such period, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
deficiency within ten (10) days of demand, or Landlord shall credit the excess
against the next installment of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent coming due or, if
the Lease has expired, pay the excess to Tenant. If the Rent Commencement Date
hereunder is not the first day of the month, the Real Estate Tax Charge for the
period commencing on the Rent Commencement Date and ending on the last day of
the month in which the Rent Commencement Date occurs shall be apportioned on the
basis of the number of days in said month and shall be paid on the Rent
Commencement Date. Any Real Estate Taxes for a real estate fiscal tax year, a
part of which is included within the period in question for the above
computations and a part of which is not so included, shall be apportioned on the
basis of the number of days in the real estate fiscal tax year included in the
period in question for the purpose of making the above computations. In
addition, if any assessment or tax is payable in installments, the Real Estate
Taxes for any tax year shall include only such installments with respect to such
assessment of tax as are allocable to such tax year. If Landlord shall have the
right to elect the period over which such assessment or tax may be paid,
Landlord shall be deemed to have elected the longest period of time available
for the purposes of computing Tenant's liability for such assessment or tax
pursuant to Section 3.03 of this Lease. If, after Tenant shall have made a
payment of Real Estate Taxes, Landlord shall have received a refund of any
portion of the Real Estate Taxes on which such payment shall have been based,
Landlord shall pay to Tenant that proportion of the net refund, after deducting
all expense(s) (including, without limitation, interest, penalties, reasonable
attorneys' fees and appraisers' fees) incurred in obtaining such refund and not
already included in Real Estate Taxes, which the Real Estate Taxes in question
paid by Tenant bear to the entire amount of Real Estate Taxes included in the
tax bill in question and paid with respect to the Shopping Center. Tenant's
proportionate share of Real Estate Taxes shall be the Real Estate Taxes for the
period in question, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the
Floor Space of the Demised Premises and the denominator of which shall be
ninety-eight percent (98%) of the Floor Space of that portion of the Shopping
Center which shall be included in the tax bill(s) in question. Landlord may, at
its option, elect to combine some or all of any separately assessed parcels or
any parcels not included in the tax bill in question in calculating Tenant's
proportionate share of Real Estate Taxes, in which event the denominator of such
fraction shall be ninety-eight percent (98%) of the Floor Space of such portions
of the Shopping Center included in the applicable combination of such parcels.
Tenant's obligation to make any payment due pursuant to the provisions of this
Section shall survive the expiration of the Lease.
9
3.04 COMMON AREA CHARGE. A. Landlord shall estimate Tenant's annual
proportionate share of Common Area Costs (which estimate may be changed by
Landlord from time to time), and Tenant shall pay to Landlord 1/12th of the
amount so estimated on the first day of each calendar month in advance. Until
Landlord shall have delivered a revised estimate to Tenant, Tenant shall
continue to pay its proportionate share of Common Area Costs at the same rate as
Tenant was then paying (I.E. Tenant shall continue to make the same monthly
installment until a revised estimate is delivered). After Landlord delivers a
revised estimate, Tenant shall pay to Landlord any shortfall between the
estimated monthly payments, as revised, and actual payments made to date for the
calendar year in question. If the Rent Commencement Date is not the first day
of a month, the Common Area Charge for the period commencing on the Rent
Commencement Date and ending on the last day of the month in which the Rent
Commencement Date occurs shall be apportioned on the basis of the number of days
in said month and shall be paid on the Rent Commencement Date. After the end of
each calendar year and after the end of the Term, Landlord shall submit to
Tenant a statement in reasonable detail stating Tenant's proportionate share of
the Common Area Costs for such calendar year, or partial calendar year in the
event the Term shall end on a date other than a December 31st, as the case may
be, and stating the total Common Area Costs for the period in question and the
figures used for computing Tenant's proportionate share. If Tenant's
proportionate share so stated for such period is more or less than the amount
paid for such period, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the deficiency within 10 days
after submission of such statement of Tenant's proportionate share, or Landlord
shall credit the excess against the next installments of Fixed Rent and
Additional Rent coming due, or refund such excess to Tenant at the end of the
term. Tenant's obligation to make any payment due pursuant to the provision(s)
of this Section shall survive the expiration of the Lease. Tenant's
proportionate share of the Common Area Costs shall be the Common Area Costs
multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the Floor Space of the
Demised Premises and the denominator of which shall be ninety-eight percent
(98%) of the Floor Space of the Shopping Center. All items of Common Area Costs
will be stated and all computations shall be made in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
B. Tenant shall also have the right, at Tenant's expense, to audit
Landlord's expenditures one time each calendar year during the Term, provided
such audit shall be conducted during reasonable hours and only after reasonable
notice to Landlord and shall be commenced within three (3) years of the
expiration of the calendar year in question. The information contained in such
audit shall be held confidential by Tenant except with respect to any litigation
between Landlord and Tenant pertaining to Common Area Costs and except as
required by law. If Tenant shall be entitled to any refund as a result of such
audit, such refund shall be forthwith paid to Tenant, and if the Common Area
Charge for any calendar year or partial calendar year was overstated by more
than 4%, Landlord shall also pay the reasonable costs of Tenant's audit.
3.05 ADVERTISING FEE. Commencing upon the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant
shall pay, as additional rent to Landlord the Advertising Fee, in equal monthly
installments in advance on the first day of each month during the Term, except
that if the Rent Commencement Date is not the first day of a month, the
Advertising Fee for the period commencing on the Rent Commencement Date and
ending on the last day of the month in which the Rent Commencement Date occurs
shall be apportioned on the basis of the number of days in said month and paid
on the Rent Commencement Date. These charges shall be increased each January
1st commencing the January 1st following the Rent Commencement Date by the
percentage increase in the Price Index during the one (1) year period from the
second preceding October 1 to the immediately preceding September 30, but in no
event shall
10
such increase be less than three percent (3%) or greater than ten percent (10%)
of the charges then in effect.
3.06 LATE CHARGES AND RETURN CHECK CHARGES. Tenant acknowledges that late
payment to Landlord of any Fixed Rent or Additional Rent will cause Landlord to
incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact costs being extremely
difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, if payment of any Fixed Rent or Additional
Rent shall not have been paid by the date on which such amount was due and
payable a late charge equal to the greater of (i) Fifty Dollars ($50.00) and
(ii) one and one-half percent (11/2%) per calendar month or any part thereof (or
the then maximum lawful interest rate), from the date on which such amount was
due, on the amount overdue shall, at the Landlord's option, be payable as
damages for Tenant's failure to make prompt payment. In addition to any other
penalties or remedies available to Landlord in the event of any late payment by
Tenant, if any check in payment of any Fixed Rent or Additional Rent is returned
to Landlord by Tenant's bank by reason of insufficient funds, uncollected funds
or otherwise, a return check administrative charge of Fifty Dollars ($50.00)
shall be payable to Landlord by Tenant. The late charges and return check
administrative charges for any month shall be payable the first day of the
following month, and in default of payment of any such charges, Landlord shall
have (in addition to all other remedies) the same rights as provided in this
Lease for nonpayment of Rent. Landlord and Tenant agree that the foregoing late
charges and return check administrative charges represent a reasonable estimate
of the costs which Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant and
returned checks, and are fair compensation to Landlord for its loss suffered by
such late payment or returned check. Nothing in this Section contained and no
acceptance of late charges by Landlord shall be deemed to extend or change the
time for payment of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent.
3.07 SECURITY. Tenant has deposited with Landlord the Security Deposit, or
if Tenant has not deposited same with Landlord, Tenant will do so within 10 days
after demand therefor by Landlord. The Security Deposit shall be held by
Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease. The Security Deposit shall not bear interest.
The Security Deposit shall not be mortgaged, assigned, transferred or encumbered
by Tenant without the consent of Landlord, and any such act on the part of
Tenant shall be without force and effect and shall not be binding upon Landlord.
If any Fixed Rent or Additional Rent shall be overdue and unpaid, or if Tenant
shall fail to observe or perform any of its obligations under this Lease, then
Landlord may, at its option and without prejudice to any other remedy which
Landlord may have on account thereof, appropriate and apply said entire Security
Deposit or so much thereof as may be necessary to compensate Landlord in respect
of the payment of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent or damage sustained by Landlord
due to such breach on the part of Tenant; and Tenant shall forthwith upon demand
restore said Security Deposit to the original sum deposited and failure to do so
shall be considered a default under this Lease. Should Tenant comply with all
of its obligations under this Lease and promptly pay all of the Fixed Rent and
Additional Rent, the balance of the Security Deposit shall be returned in full
to Tenant at the end of the Term after delivery of possession of the Demised
Premises to Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Lease and after the
final adjustment for Fixed Rent and Additional Rent is made. In the event of
bankruptcy or other creditor-debtor proceedings by or against Tenant, the
Security Deposit and all other securities shall be deemed to be applied first to
the payment of Fixed Rent and Additional Rent for all periods prior to the
filing of such proceedings. Landlord may deliver the Security Deposit to the
transferee of Landlord's interest in the Demised Premises in the event that such
interest is transferred, and upon notice thereof by the transferor to Tenant,
the transferor shall be discharged from any further liability with respect to
such funds, and this provision shall also apply to any subsequent transfers.
11
3.08 ACCORD AND SATISFACTION. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord
of any lesser amount than the amount stipulated to be paid hereunder shall be
deemed other than on account of the earliest stipulated Fixed Rent or Additional
Rent; nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or letter be deemed an
accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept any check or payment without
prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance due or to pursue any other
remedy available to Landlord.
ARTICLE IV
COMMON AREAS AND PARKING
4.01 MAINTENANCE OF AND CHANGES IN COMMON AREAS. Subject to the provisions
of Section 7.04, Landlord will operate, manage, equip, light, repair and
maintain, or cause to be operated, managed, equipped, lighted, repaired and
maintained, the Common Areas for their intended purposes. Landlord reserves the
right, at any time and from time to time to make changes, additions, alterations
or improvements in and to such Common Areas (including, without limitation, the
right to construct, within the Common Areas, kiosks, fountains, bird cages,
aquariums, planters, pools and sculptures, and to install vending machines,
telephone booths, benches and the like), provided same shall not unreasonably
block or interfere with Tenant's and customer's means of ingress or egress to
and from the Demised Premises, or unreasonably obstruct the view of Tenant's
sign or display windows.
4.02 USE OF COMMON AREAS. Tenant and its subtenants, concessionaires and
licensees and their respective officers, employees, agents, customers and
invitees, shall have the non-exclusive right, in common with Landlord and all
others to whom Landlord has granted or may hereafter grant such rights, but
subject to the rules and regulations referred to in Section 15.01, to use the
Common Areas. Landlord reserves the right, at any time and from time to time,
to close temporarily all or any portions of the Common Areas for any of the
following purposes when in Landlord's reasonable judgment any such closing is
necessary or desirable: to make repairs or changes therein or to effect
construction, repairs or changes within the Shopping Center, to prevent the
acquisition of public rights in such areas, to discourage non-customer parking
or to protect or preserve persons or property and Landlord may do such other
acts in and to the Common Areas as in its judgment may be desirable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in exercising its rights under subsection 4.02,
Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with the visibility of, or access to,
or ingress from, the Demised Premises, and shall use reasonable effort to
complete any repairs, construction or changes in a timely manner.
4.03 PARKING. Tenant and its officers, agents, and employees shall park
their vehicles only in areas from time to time designated by Landlord as the
areas for such parking. In addition, Landlord shall specifically have, without
limitation, the right to require Tenant and Tenant's agents, servants and
employees to park away from the Shopping Center, even to the extent that
Landlord may prohibit Tenant and Tenant's agents, servants and employees from
parking at the Shopping Center and accordingly, they may be required to park
upon public streets or in public parking areas at no cost to such employees, and
further provided such requirements are uniformly applied to the agents, servants
and employees of all tenants at the Shopping Center and such parking areas are
reasonably safe and reasonable access to and from the Demised Premises is
provided to Tenant and its agents, servants and employees. Tenant shall, upon
written notice from Landlord, within five (5) days, furnish Landlord, or its
authorized agent, the State automobile license tag number assigned to its
automobile or automobiles and the automobiles of all of its officers, agents and
employees employed in the Demised Premises. Landlord, after notice to Tenant
that Tenant or any of its officers, agents or employees are not parking in said
designated parking areas or off-premises, as applicable, may, at its option, in
addition to any other
12
remedies it may have, tow away such vehicles at Tenant's expense, and, in
addition, after the second such notice in respect of any such violating vehicle,
Tenant shall upon demand pay to the Shopping Center as an additional fee to be
applied for advertising the sum of $50.00 for each subsequent violation, such
payment to be deemed Additional Rent. Tenant shall not at any time park or
permit the parking of any truck or any delivery vehicle in the parking area, and
the Landlord hereby reserves the exclusive right with respect to the use of the
Common Areas for advertising purposes. Tenant shall require all trucks or other
vehicles serving Tenant to use the service area designated by Landlord. Tenant
shall cause all vehicles servicing Tenant to be promptly loaded or unloaded and
removed; all such trucks owned or operated by, in behalf of, or servicing,
Tenant, shall be compelled by Tenant to comply in all respects with the rules
and regulations governing use of truck access, parking, loading and unloading
facilities, and permissible hours and places therefor, as the same may be from
time to time modified or amended by Landlord in its sole and absolute
discretion; and any breach thereof or failure to comply therewith shall be
deemed for all purposes of this Lease to be a breach of or failure to comply
with such rules and regulations by Tenant. In addition to the foregoing,
Landlord reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to impose
parking charges.
ARTICLE V
UTILITIES AND SERVICES
5.01 UTILITIES AND MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE. Landlord shall provide the
connections specified in Exhibit "A" to enable Tenant to receive those utilities
and services specified in Exhibit "A". Tenant shall make all necessary
arrangements for all such utilities to be supplied to the Demised Premises.
During any period Landlord uses Massachusetts Electric to provide electrical
services to the Shopping Center, Tenant agrees to use Massachusetts Electric for
the providing of electric service to the Demised Premises. Landlord shall not
be liable to Tenant in damages or otherwise (including but not limited to loss
of business) for any failure of Tenant to make arrangements with the appropriate
utility companies for or to obtain any utilities or services, or for any failure
of Tenant to heat or air condition or to provide hot water for, the Demised
Premises; Tenant shall not be released or excused from the performance of any of
its obligations under this Lease for any such failure or for any interruption or
curtailment of any such utilities or services, and no such failure, interruption
or curtailment shall constitute a constructive or partial eviction. Tenant
shall not permit or suffer any utility facility to be overloaded. At all times
during the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall maintain a maintenance contract with
a qualified reputable service maintenance company reasonably designated by
Landlord, for the maintenance and repair of the heating, ventilation and
air-conditioning equipment servicing the Demised Premises which contract shall
include specific provisions for regularly scheduled periodic routine
maintenance. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a true copy thereof.
5.02 PAYMENT FOR UTILITIES AND SERVICES. Tenant shall pay directly to the
utility companies or governmental units promptly as and when due all separately
metered or assessed charges for utilities and services used or consumed in or in
connection with the Demised Premises, including, without limitation, water,
sewer, electricity, gas, oil, heat, steam, air conditioning and heated and/or
chilled water, but not including any utilities otherwise included in Real
Estate Taxes as provided in Paragraph M of Section 1.02. If any utilities or
services are not separately metered or assessed or are only partially separately
metered or assessed and are used in common with other tenants or occupants of
the Shopping Center, other than utilities included in Real Estate Taxes as
provided in Paragraph M of Section 1.02, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand
Tenant's proportionate share of such charges for utilities and/or services,
which shall be such charges multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which
shall be the Floor Space of the Demised Premises and the denominator of which
13
shall be the Floor Space of all tenants or occupants of the Shopping Center
using such utilities and/or services. If Landlord is permitted by law to
provide electricity to the Demised Premises by re-registering meters or
otherwise and to collect any charges for such utilities, Landlord shall have the
right to do so, in which event Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon receipt of
bills therefor charges for such utilities provided the rates for such utilities
shall not be more than the rates Tenant would be charged for such utilities if
furnished directly to Tenant by the utility companies or governmental units
which would otherwise have furnished such utilities. Landlord represents that
the utilities serving the Demised Premises will be separately metered.
ARTICLE VI

occupancy relating to the Demised Premises and with the Requirements.
6.05 ACCESS TO PREMISES AND EXCAVATION. Landlord shall have the right to
enter upon and in the Demised Premises at all reasonable times to examine the
same and to make such repairs, alterations, improvements and additions in the
Demised Premises or in the buildings in the Shopping Center as Landlord may deem
necessary, and Landlord shall be allowed to take all materials into and upon the
Demised Premises that may be required therefor without the same constituting an
eviction of Tenant, in whole or in part, and the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent
shall in no way abate while such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions
are being made by reason of loss or interruption of the business of Tenant due
to the prosecution of any such work; provided, however, Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts not to unreasonably interfere with or interrupt Tenant's
business in the Demised Premises, but in no event shall Landlord be required to
incur any additional expense for work to be done during hours or days other than
regular business hours and days. Landlord shall also have the right to enter
upon the Demised Premises at reasonable times to show them to prospective
purchasers, lessees (under ground or underlying leases) and mortgagees of all or
any part of the Shopping Center. During the six months prior to the expiration
of the Term, Landlord may show the Demised Premises to prospective tenants of
the Demised Premises, and during said period Landlord may also place upon the
Demised Premises a "To Let" or "For Rent" sign, which sign shall not be removed,
obliterated or hidden by Tenant. Landlord reserves the right, at any time and
from time to time, to install, maintain, use, repair and replace pipes, duct
work, conduits, utility lines and wires through hung ceiling space, column space
and partitions in the Demised Premises and beneath the lower floor slabs of the
Demised Premises, to use all or any part of the side walls, rear walls and roof
of the Demised Premises for any purpose, to erect additional stories or other
structures over
16
all or any part of the Demised Premises for others to occupy and to erect
temporary scaffolds and other aids to construction on the exterior of the
Demised Premises, provided that access to, and visibility of, the Demised
Premises shall not be denied. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be
deemed or construed to impose upon Landlord any obligation, responsibility or
liability whatsoever for the care, supervision or repair of the Demised Premises
other than as in this Lease elsewhere provided. If an excavation or other
building operation shall be made upon land or premises above, below or adjacent
to the Demised Premises, Tenant shall give to the person authorized to cause
such work to be done permission and a license to enter upon and in the Demised
Premises for the purpose of doing such work as such person deems necessary to
preserve the building of which the Demised Premises is a part from damage and to
support the same with proper foundations, without the same constituting an
eviction of Tenant, in whole or in part, and there shall be no abatement of
Fixed Rent or Additional Rent; provided, however, Landlord shall use reasonable
efforts not to unreasonably interfere with or interrupt Tenant's business in the
Demised Premises.
6.06 MECHANICS' LIENS. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed,
construed or interpreted to imply any consent or agreement on the part of
Landlord to subject Landlord's interest or estate to any liability under any
mechanic's or other lien law. If any mechanic's or other lien or any notice of
intention to file a lien is filed against the Shopping Center, or any part
thereof, or the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, for any work, labor,
services or materials claimed to have been performed or furnished for or on
behalf of Tenant or anyone holding any part of the Demised Premises through or
under Tenant, Tenant shall cause the same to be canceled and discharged of
record by payment, bond or order of a court of competent jurisdiction within 20
days after notice by Landlord to Tenant. Landlord shall have the right to post
any notices of non-responsibility which may be provided for by the statutes of
the state in which the property is located which Landlord may deem necessary for
the protection of Landlord and Landlord's interest in the Demised Premises from
mechanics' liens or liens of a similar nature; and Tenant shall, before the
commencement of any work which might result in any such lien, give written
notice to Landlord of its intention to do so in sufficient time to enable the
posting of such notices.
6.07 RENT ABATEMENT. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to
the contrary, if by reason of any of Landlord's work to the Common Area or the
Demised Premises or by failure of utilities due to the intentional or negligent
act of Landlord or its, agents, contractors, servants or employees, and provided
Tenant shall have given Landlord notice of such condition, Tenant closes the
Demised Premises for a period of three (3) or more consecutive days because
Tenant is not able to operate the Demised Premises, Tenant shall be entitled to
an abatement of Fixed Rent from the fourth day after closure until the earlier
of (a) such date that Tenant shall have reopened the Demised Premises for
business or (b) such date that the condition causing such closing has been
eliminated.
ARTICLE VII
ALTERATIONS, REPAIRS AND CHANGES
7.01 ALTERATIONS BY TENANT. Tenant shall not make or cause to be made any
improvements, alterations, additions, changes, replacements or installations to
the Demised Premises, or make any cuts in the walls, ceilings, roofs, or floors
thereof, or change the exterior color or architectural treatment of the Demised
Premises, without on each occasion first obtaining the consent of Landlord, and
if such consent is granted, Tenant shall carry such worker's compensation and
general liability insurance and such other insurance as Landlord may require,

Tenant in an expeditious manner. The cost of such improvements, alterations,
additions, changes, replacements or installations shall be paid in cash or its
equivalent so that the Demised Premises shall at all times be free of liens for
work, labor, services or materials claimed to have been performed or furnished
for or on behalf of Tenant or anyone holding any part of the Demised Premises
through or under Tenant. All contractors and subcontractors performing work in
or to the Demised Premises shall be approved by Landlord prior to the
performance of any such work, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. Tenant shall have the right to make nonstructural alterations or
additions costing, in the aggregate during the Term, not more than $25,000
without the consent of Landlord, provided (a) Tenant shall otherwise comply with
the requirements of Section 7.01 including, but not limited to, the carrying of
insurance as provided in said Section and the submission to Landlord of the
plans and specifications for such alterations or additions and (b) such
alterations or additions shall, when completed, be of such a character which
will not reduce the value, rentability or usefulness of the Demised Premises or
will not affect the facade, mechanical, electrical or structural components of
either the Demised Premises or the Shopping Center or which would not reduce the
Floor Space of the Demised Premises. All other proposed additions and
alterations shall be subject to the consent of the Landlord, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld.
7.02 REPAIRS BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall make necessary structural repairs
to the Demised Premises and the building of which it is a part (but excluding
windows and window frames, doors, plate glass, store fronts, showcases and
signs) and shall keep in good condition and repair the foundations and roof of
the Demised Premises and those portions of the utility systems serving the
Demised Premises which are for common use. Landlord shall not be required to
make any such repairs where same were caused or occasioned by any act, omission
or negligence of Tenant, any subtenant, concessionaire or licensees of Tenant,
or any of their respective officers, employees, agents, customers, invitees or
contractors. Landlord shall not be required to commence any such repair until
notice shall be received from Tenant specifying the nature of the repair. The
provisions of this Section shall not apply in the case of damage by fire or
other casualty or by eminent domain, in which event the obligations of the
parties shall be as provided in other Sections of this Lease. All costs and
expenses incurred by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall
be deemed to constitute Common Area Costs.
7.03 REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE BY TENANT. Except for repairs required to be
performed by Landlord under Section 7.02, Tenant shall make all repairs and
replacements to, and shall keep clean, neat, safe, sanitary, in good order,

maintain at all times a clean and sightly appearance) and free of vermin, the
Demised Premises, including both inside and the outside, and any equipment,
facilities, fixtures and systems including but not limited to fire detection
and/or prevention systems therein. In making repairs, Tenant shall use
materials equal in kind and quality to the original work. Tenant shall repaint
and refurbish the Demised Premises at reasonable periodic intervals to assure
that the Demised Premises is kept in a first-class and attractive condition
through the Term. Tenant shall keep in full force and effect during the Term
hereof a maintenance contract for the HVAC system with a company reasonably
designated by Landlord, which contract shall include specific provisions for
regularly scheduled periodic routine maintenance. Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord a copy of the same and all renewals thereof. The provisions of this
Section shall not apply in the case of reasonable wear and tear or damage by
fire or other casualty or by eminent domain, in which event the obligations of
the parties shall be as provided in other Sections of this Lease. All
alterations and repairs hereunder shall be performed by contractors approved by
18
Landlord and all such work shall conform to existing structures and quality at
the Shopping Center.
7.04 CHANGES BY LANDLORD. Landlord reserves the right, at any time and
from time to time, to increase, reduce or change the number, type, size,
location, elevation, nature and use of any of the Common Areas and any of the
buildings and other improvements in the Shopping Center, including, without
limitation, the right to move and/or remove same and to add additional stories
thereon, provided same shall not unreasonably block or interfere with Tenant's
means of ingress or egress to and from the Demised Premises or materially
interfere with the substantive visibility of Tenant's permitted exterior signs
or display windows. Landlord shall not change or alter the Common Areas in any
manner which would reduce the existing parking facilities of the Shopping Center
to a ratio of less than 4.0 spaces to each 1,000 square feet of Floor Space of
all leasable Floor Space in the Shopping Center.
7.05 LANDLORD'S CONSENT. In no event shall Landlord be required to consent
to any improvements, alterations, additions, changes, replacements or
installations which, when completed, will, in Landlord's judgment, be of such a
character which will reduce the value, rentability or usefulness of the Demised
Premises or which will affect the facade, mechanical, electrical or structural
components of either the Demised Premises or the Shopping Center or which would
reduce the Floor Space of the Demised Premises or which are not in accordance
with the design criteria for the Shopping Center.
ARTICLE VIII
INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY
8.01 INSURANCE BY TENANT. A. Tenant shall maintain the following
insurance: (a) commercial comprehensive general public liability insurance in
respect of the Demised Premises and the conduct or operation of business
therein, with Landlord as an additional named insured, with limits of not less
than $5,000,000 combined single limit for bodily injury or death and for
property damage, including water damage and sprinkler leakage liability, (b) a
policy of plate glass insurance covering all plate and crystal glass situated in
the Demised Premises, (c) fire and extended coverage insurance in respect of
Tenant's stock in trade, fixtures, furniture, furnishings, removable floor
coverings, equipment, signs and all other property of Tenant in the Demised
Premises to the extent of one hundred percent (100%) of the full insurable value
of the property covered and not less than the amount sufficient to avoid the
effect of the co-insurance provisions of the applicable policy or policies, and
(d) any other insurance required for compliance with any Requirements of which
Tenant has received notice. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and any additional
insured specified by Landlord to Tenant such fully paid-for-policies or
certificates evidencing such coverage before the Commencement Date. Tenant
shall procure and pay for renewals of such insurance from time to time before
the expiration thereof, and Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and any additional
named insured such renewal policy or certificates evidencing such renewal at
least 30 days before the expiration of any existing policy. All such policies
shall be issued by companies of recognized responsibility licensed to do
business in the state in which the Demised Premises is located and having a
general policy holder's rating of not less than A, and financial ratings of not
less than Class VIII as rated in the most current "Best's" Insurance Reports,
and all such policies shall contain a provision whereby the same cannot be
canceled or modified unless Landlord and any additional insured are given at
least 30 days prior written notice by certified or registered mail of such
cancellation or modification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Tenant
shall have the right to self insure as to (b) of the first sentence, provided
Tenant shall meet all applicable requirements for self-insurance in the State in
which the Shopping Center is located. All public liability policies shall
contain a provision that Landlord, will be named as
19
additional insured under said policies for any loss occasioned to it by reason
of the negligence of Tenant, or its agents or employees. Each liability
insurance policy shall include a "cross liability" endorsement, providing
coverage for claims brought by another insured under such policy. All public
liability, property damage and other casualty insurance policies shall be
written as not contributing with any coverage which Landlord may carry. The
requirement of $5,000,000 combined single limit may be satisfied by utilizing
primary policies and umbrella liability policies.
B. Tenant shall require any contractor of Tenant performing work in,
on or about the Demised Premises to take out and keep in full force and effect,
at no expense to Landlord (a) commercial general public liability insurance in
respect of the Demised Premises, and the conduct of its work therein, with
Landlord as an additional insured, with limits of not less than $3,000,000
combined single limit for bodily injury or death and for property damage,
including water damage and sprinkler leakage legal liability; (b) workman's
compensation or similar insurance in form and amounts required by law; and (c)
comprehensive automobile liability insurance including owned, non-owned and
hired car coverage in an amount not less than $3,000,000 combined single limit
for bodily injury or death and for property damage.
8.02 INCREASE IN PREMIUMS. Tenant shall not do, permit or suffer to be
done any act, matter, thing or failure to act in respect of the Demised Premises
or use or occupy the Demised Premises or conduct or operate Tenant's business in
any manner objectionable to insurance companies whereby the fire insurance or
any other insurance now in force or hereafter to be placed on the Demised
Premises or the Shopping Center or any part thereof shall become void or
suspended or bring or keep anything upon the Demised Premises which shall
increase the rate of premiums of insurance on the Demised Premises or the
Shopping Center or any part thereof or on the property located therein. If by
reason of failure of Tenant to comply with the foregoing provisions of this
Section, any premiums in respect of insurance maintained by Landlord shall be
higher than those which would normally have been in effect, then Tenant shall be
liable to Landlord as hereinafter set forth. In determining whether the rate of
premiums of insurance has increased, a schedule, issued by the organization
setting the insurance rate on the Shopping Center, showing the various
components of such rate, shall be conclusive evidence of the several items and
charges which make up the fire insurance rate on the Shopping Center. In case
of a breach of this covenant, in addition to all other rights and remedies of
Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall (a) indemnify Landlord and hold Landlord
harmless from and against any loss which would have been covered by insurance
which shall have become void or suspended because of such breach by Tenant and
(b) pay to Landlord any and all increases of premiums on any insurance,
including, without limitation, rent insurance, resulting from any such breach
and the same shall be deemed to be Additional Rent. In addition to the
foregoing, Tenant will, if Landlord so requests, cease any action and/or remove
any objects or improvements which have resulted in increases in Landlord's
insurance premiums.
8.03 INDEMNIFICATION AND RELEASE. Tenant shall defend and indemnify
Landlord and shall hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all injuries,
losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys'
fees and expenses) to persons or property arising from, related to or in
connection with the use or occupancy of the Demised Premises or the conduct or
operation of business therein or any construction and/or alterations performed
by Tenant therein or any default in the performance of any obligation of Tenant
under this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable or responsible for, and Tenant
hereby releases Landlord from, all liability or responsibility to Tenant or any
person claiming by, through or under Tenant, by way of subrogation or otherwise,
for any loss or damage to any property in or around the Demised Premises or to
Tenant's business irrespective of the cause of such loss or damage, and Tenant
shall require its insurer(s) to include in all of Tenant's casualty insurance
policies which could give rise to a right of subrogation against Landlord a
20
clause or endorsement whereby the insurer(s) shall waive any rights of
subrogation against Landlord. If Landlord shall, without fault on its part, be
made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Tenant, Tenant shall
indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all costs, expenses and
reasonable attorneys fees incurred or paid by Landlord in connection with such
litigation.
8.04 OPTION TO EXTEND. If Tenant shall exercise the right to extend the
Term of this Lease, the amount of commercial general public liability insurance
then carried by Tenant shall be increased as of the commencement of any such
Extended Period by an amount equal to the percentage increase of the Price Index
during the period from the Commencement Date to the last date of the then Term
or from the period from the first date of the Extended Period to the last day of
the then Term (in the event of more than one such option under Section 1.01(K)),
as the case may be.
ARTICLE IX
SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT
9.01 SUBORDINATION TO LEASES. This Lease and Tenant's interest herein
(including, without limitation, Tenant's rights in respect of the Common Areas)
are and shall be subject and subordinate to each and every ground lease or
underlying lease now existing or hereafter made of the Shopping Center or any
part thereof of which the Demised Premises is a part and to all renewals,
modifications, replacements and extensions thereof; provided, however, that
Landlord shall use all reasonable efforts to cause the landlord under any such
ground or underlying lease to enter into an agreement with Tenant to the effect
that in the event of a termination of any such lease by reason of the default of
Landlord as the tenant thereunder, this Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder
shall continue in full force and effect and this Lease shall not be terminated
or Tenant disturbed in its possession of the Demised Premises except in
accordance with the provisions of this Lease and Tenant shall attorn to said
landlord so long as said landlord shall agree to so recognize the rights of
Tenant as aforesaid (and Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord and any such
landlord in connection with the execution and deliver of any such Recognition
Agreement). This section shall be self-operative and no further instrument or
subordination shall be required. In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant
shall upon request of Landlord, within 10 days of receipt of same, execute,
acknowledge and deliver any and all documents and instruments subordinating this
Lease and Tenant's interest herein, to any ground or underlying lease.
9.02 SUBORDINATION TO MORTGAGES. This Lease and Tenant's interest herein
(including, without limitation, Tenant's rights in respect of the Common Areas)
shall be subject and subordinate to all mortgages now existing or hereafter made
covering the Shopping Center or any part thereof (which shall include leasehold
mortgages) and to all renewals, modifications, replacements, consolidations and
extensions thereof and to any and all advances made thereunder and the interest
thereon; provided, however, that Landlord shall use all reasonable efforts to
cause the holder of any such mortgage to enter into an agreement with Tenant to
the effect that in the event of foreclosure or other action taken in connection
with or under such mortgage by the holder or any assignee thereof, this Lease
and the rights of Tenant hereunder shall continue in full force and effect and
this Lease shall not be terminated or Tenant disturbed in its possession of the
Demised Premises except in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. This
section shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall
be required. In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall upon request
of Landlord, within 10 days of receipt of same, execute, acknowledge and deliver
any and all documents and instruments subordinating this Lease and Tenant's
interest herein to any such fee or leasehold mortgage.
21
9.03 ATTORNMENT. In the event of (a) a transfer of Landlord's interest in
the Demised Premises, (b) the termination of any ground or underlying lease or
(c) the purchase of the Demised Premises or Landlord's interest therein in a
foreclosure sale or by deed in lieu of foreclosure under any mortgage or the
purchase pursuant to a power of sale contained in any mortgage, then in any of
such events Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such succeeding party as
Tenant's landlord under this Lease for the balance then remaining of the Term,
and Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such
succeeding party may reasonably request to evidence such attornment (provided
that such attornment shall be self-operative). Notwithstanding the
subordination set forth in Section 9.02 above, upon such attornment, this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between such
succeeding party and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants as
are set forth in this Lease except the succeeding Landlord, who shall have
succeeded by or through the rights of the holder of any mortgage, shall not be
liable for any act or omission of Landlord prior to such lease termination or
prior to such person's succession to title, nor be subject to any offset,
defense or counterclaim accruing prior to such lease termination or prior to
such person's succession to title, nor be bound by any payment of Fixed Rent or
Additional Rent prior to such lease termination or prior to such person's
succession to title for more than one month in advance or by any amendment or
modification of this Lease or any waiver, compromise, release or discharge of
any obligations of Tenant hereunder, unless such amendment, modification,
waiver, compromise, release, discharge or prepayment shall have been expressly
approved by the holder of any mortgage through or by reason of which succeeding
Landlord shall have succeeded to the rights of Landlord under this Lease.
9.04 DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS. If Tenant fails to execute, acknowledge or
deliver any of the documents or instruments required under this Article, same
shall be deemed a material default of Tenant.
9.05 CONSENT OF LANDLORD. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
provided in this Lease, in any instance where the consent of the holder of any
ground or underlying lease or the holder of any mortgage may be required,
Landlord shall not be required to give its consent until and unless the holder
of any ground or underlying lease and/or the holder of any mortgage has given
its consent. Nothing in this Section or elsewhere in this Lease shall be
construed to require Landlord to give its consent to any matter to which
Landlord's consent is required to be obtained.
9.06 NOTICES TO MORTGAGEES. Tenant agrees that it will give prompt notice
of Landlord's default in the performance of its obligations under this Lease to
the holder of any mortgage (which shall include leasehold mortgages) to which
this Lease is or shall be subordinate to if the default is of such nature as to
(a) give Tenant a right to cancel and terminate this Lease, or (b) reduce or
abate the Fixed Rent or Additional Rent, (c) credit or offset any amounts
against future rents payable hereunder or (d) claim a partial or total eviction
(constructive or otherwise); provided that Tenant shall not give or be obligated
to give such notice to any such party unless Landlord shall have advised Tenant
in writing of the effectiveness of this Section, the status of such party as the
holder of any such mortgage and the address to which such notices should be
sent. Any such holder shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cure the
default specified in such notice (which period shall in no event be less than
the period to which Landlord would be entitled under this Lease to effect such
remedy); and no such rights or remedies shall be exercised by Tenant until the
expiration of said period or such additional time as may be reasonably required
to cure any such default.

public offering of Tenant's stock made by Tenant (for any of which such
transactions Landlord's prior written consent shall not be required), Tenant

in any manner transfer this Lease or any interest therein, or sublet the Demised
Premises, or grant any concession or license or otherwise permit occupancy of
the Demised Premises by any person, without the prior written consent of
Landlord; provided, however that notwithstanding the foregoing any request by
Tenant for such consent of Landlord shall be subject to the exercise by Landlord

Landlord shall not exercise such Recapture Option such consent shall be
expressly conditioned upon compliance by Tenant with all the provisions of this
Article X. Tenant shall have no right to and shall not, sublet a part of the
Demised Premises, nor permit occupancy of a part of the Demised Premises. Any
attempt by Tenant to assign or transfer this Lease or to sublet the Demised
Premises or any part or parts thereof or to grant a concession or license or
otherwise permit occupancy of all or part of the Demised Premises otherwise than
in compliance with the provisions of this Article X shall be absolutely and
unconditionally null and void and of no force and effect whatsoever.

determine the financial responsibility of the Proposed Party. Upon receipt of
any such written request and accompanying information from Tenant, Landlord
shall be entitled to request any additional information from Tenant in respect
of the Proposed Transaction and/or the Proposed Party as Landlord shall deem
necessary in order to permit Landlord's comprehensive assessment of same, and
Tenant shall furnish Landlord with such additional information promptly upon any
such request by Landlord.
10.03 RECAPTURE OPTION. A. Landlord shall have the following right, (the
"Recapture Option"), to be exercised by notice ("Exercise Notice") given to
Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's request for consent and

hereof: Landlord may require Tenant to surrender the Demised Premises to
Landlord and to accept a termination of this Lease as of a date (the

hundred twenty (120) days following the date of Landlord's Exercise Notice. If
Landlord shall elect to require Tenant to surrender the Demised Premises and

date. Landlord shall be free to, and shall have no liability to Tenant if
Landlord shall lease the Demised Premises to Tenant's prospective assignee or
subtenant. In the event that Landlord shall exercise the Recapture Option as
herein provided, Tenant shall remit to Landlord, within fifteen (15) days after
Landlord's demand therefor, (i) a sum equal to
23
three (3) months then-current Fixed Rent and Additional Rent in order to cover
Landlord's loss of rental income from the Demised Premises following the
effective Termination Date and (ii) a sum equal to the then-unamortized (with
such amortization being calculated from the Rent Commencement Date over the
Initial Term) value of the aggregate of (x) Tenant's Improvement Allowance and
(y) the incremental additional cost to Landlord of providing any improvements or
other installations made by Landlord in and upon the Demised Premises over and
above Landlord's typical "vanilla shell" initial improvements for premises in
the Shopping Center.
B. If Landlord shall not exercise the option under paragraph A above
within the time period therein provided, then Landlord shall not unreasonably
withhold consent to a proposed assignment or subletting of the entire Demised
Premises which consent or disapproval shall be given not later than thirty (30)
days following Landlord's receipt of Tenant's request for consent provided under
paragraph A above and all additional information requested by Landlord, provided
that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder and further
provided that, at a minimum, all of the following conditions shall be fulfilled:
(a) The subletting or assignment shall be in Landlord's

dignity and character of the Shopping Center and whose financial standing and
occupancy will not be more objectionable or more hazardous than that of Tenant
herein and who has sufficient prior experience in retail operations;
(b) The subletting or assignment shall be to a tenant who is a
nationally known tenant and is a manufacturer of products of at least comparable
type and quality to that of Tenant;

subtenant or assignee of any premises at the Shopping Center;
(e) The proposed use in connection with the assignment or
subletting is compatible in Landlord's judgment with the uses then existing at
the Shopping Center;
(f) The proposed use will not otherwise be in violation of any
exclusive then contained in any lease in existence in the Shopping Center; and
(g) The Guarantor, if any, shall affirm and ratify its guaranty
in all respects.

shall be consistent with those used by the permitted assignee or subtenant.
10.04 ASSIGNMENT/SUBLEASE AMENDMENT. Landlord may, INTER ALIA, condition
its consent to any Proposed Transaction upon the execution of an agreement
pursuant to which Tenant and the Proposed Party agree to pay to Landlord any
amounts due and payable in respect of the making of any Proposed Transaction
wherein (i) any economic consideration in the form of money or property shall be
paid to Tenant or any Guarantor, or to any affiliate or subsidiary of Tenant or
any Guarantor, either in a lump sum, periodic payment or other form of
consideration, with such payment to Landlord to be made upon the payment thereof
to such party, and/or (ii) any Fixed Rent or Additional Rent in respect of the
Demised Premises which shall
24
exceed the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent payable pursuant to this Lease; except
that Tenant shall in all cases be entitled to retain (a) such amount as may be
paid to Tenant by the Proposed Party on account of unamortized book value (as
shown on books and records maintained by Tenant in normal course of business in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied)
of any leasehold improvements theretofore made by Tenant in the Demised Premises
and (b) an amount equal to costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Tenant in
connection with such assignment or sublease, including, without limitation,
brokers' commissions and legal fees.
10.05 CORPORATION OR PARTNERSHIP. If Tenant shall be a corporation or

the person(s) who, on the date of this Lease shall have owned a majority of such
corporation's shares of voting stock or the general partners' interest in such
partnership, as the case may be, ceasing to own a majority of such shares of
voting stock or general partners' interest, as the case may be (except as the
result of transfers by inheritance) shall be deemed to be an assignment of this
Lease as to which Landlord's consent shall have been required, and in any such
event Tenant shall so notify Landlord, except that this provision shall not be
applicable to any corporation all the outstanding voting stock of which is
listed on a national securities exchange (as defined in the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended). For the purposes of this Section, the term "voting
stock" shall refer to shares of stock regularly entitled to vote for the
election of directors of the corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant
may without Landlord's consent, assign this Lease or sublet the entire Demised
Premises to any corporation which is a subsidiary or parent of Tenant or under
common control with Tenant or to any corporation with which Tenant or its parent
may be merged or consolidated or which purchases all or substantially all of the
assets of Tenant or those of its parent, provided (i) the business, name and
operation being conducted in the Demised Premises as well as the type and
quality of merchandise in the Demised Premises shall remain unaffected and in
the case of an assignment hereunder or a sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of Tenant or those of its parent (ii) the transferee's net worth equals
or exceeds the greater of (a) Tenant's net worth as of the date hereof and (b)
Tenant's net worth on the date immediately preceding the date of the proposed
sale or transfer, and (iii) the Guarantor, if any, shall affirm and ratify its
guaranty in all respects.
10.06 MISCELLANEOUS. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article X
to the contrary, in connection with any Proposed Transaction, (i) Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord upon demand, for all expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with any such Proposed Transaction and
(ii) Tenant and any Proposed Party shall, within ten (10) days after notice from
Landlord, provide such additional information, execute and deliver to Landlord
such documents and take such further action as Landlord may reasonably require
to effect such Proposed Transaction or protect Landlord's rights in respect of
this Lease. Neither the consent of Landlord to an assignment, subletting,
mortgage, concession or license, nor the references in this Lease to assignees,
subtenants, mortgagees, concessionaires or licensees, shall in any way be
construed to relieve Tenant of the requirement of obtaining the consent of
Landlord to any further assignment or subletting or to the making of any
assignment, subletting, mortgage, concession or license for all or any part of
the Demised Premises. In the event Landlord consents to any assignment of this
Lease, the assignee shall execute and deliver to Landlord an agreement in form
and substance satisfactory to Landlord whereby the assignee shall assume all of
Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding any assignment or
subletting, including, without limitation, any assignment or subletting
permitted or consented to, the original Tenant named herein and any other
person(s) who at any time was or were Tenant shall remain fully liable on this
Lease, and if this Lease shall be amended, modified, extended or renewed, the
original Tenant named herein and any other person(s) who at any time was or were
Tenant shall remain fully liable on this Lease as so amended,
25
modified, extended or renewed; provided, however, the original Tenant named
herein shall not be liable for any renewal or extension for which it shall not
have exercised itself or liable for any amendment or modification it has not
consented to. Any violation of any provision of this Lease by any assignee,
subtenant or other occupant shall be deemed a violation by the original Tenant
named herein, the then Tenant and any other person(s) who at any time was or
were Tenant, it being the intention and meaning that the original Tenant named
herein, the then Tenant and any other person(s) who at any time was or were
Tenant shall all be liable to Landlord for any and all acts and omissions of any
and all assignees, subtenants and other occupants of the Demised Premises. If
this Lease shall be assigned or if the Demised Premises or any part thereof
shall be sublet or occupied by any person or persons other than the original
Tenant named herein, Landlord may collect rent from any such assignee and/or any
subtenants or occupants, and apply the net amounts collected to the Fixed Rent
and Additional Rent, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection
shall be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of this Section, or the
acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as Tenant, or a release of any
person from the further performance by such person of the obligations of Tenant
under this Lease.
ARTICLE XI
DESTRUCTION
11.01 TOTAL OR PARTIAL DESTRUCTION. Tenant shall give prompt notice to
Landlord in case of any fire or other damage to the Demised Premises. If (a)
the Demised Premises shall be damaged by fire or other occurrence to the extent
of more than 25% of the aggregate cost of replacement thereof, or (b) the
buildings in the Shopping Center shall be damaged by fire or other occurrence to
the extent of more than 25% of the aggregate cost of replacement thereof
(whether or not the Demised Premises be damaged in whole or in part), or (c) the
buildings in the Shopping Center shall be damaged by fire or other occurrence
and either the loss shall not be covered by insurance or the insurance proceeds
shall, by reasonable anticipation, be insufficient to pay for the repair or
restoration work, then in any such event Landlord may terminate the Lease by
notice given within 90 days after such event, and upon the date specified in
such notice, which shall not be less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after
the giving of said notice, this Lease shall terminate. If any damage by fire or
other casualty shall render the Demised Premises untenantable, in whole or in
part, a proportionate abatement of the Fixed Rent based upon the Floor Space
rendered untenantable shall be allowed from the date when the damage occurred
until completion of the repair or restoration work by Landlord as hereinafter
provided, or, in the event Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, until said
date of termination. If this Lease shall not be terminated after damage by fire
or other casualty, Landlord shall, promptly after receipt of the insurance
proceeds for such damage, or as soon as practicable in the event that insurance
proceeds shall not be available, proceed with the restoration of the Demised
Premises and the Shopping Center to substantially the condition in which the
same existed prior to the damage with such changes as Landlord may desire or be
required by any Requirements to make, except for tenant's stock in trade,
fixtures, furniture, furnishings, removable floor coverings, equipment, signs
and all other property, and Tenant shall promptly proceed with the restoration
or replacement of its stock in trade, fixtures, furniture, furnishings,
removable floor coverings, equipment, signs and all other property of Tenant and
decorations in and around the Demised Premises. If Landlord shall not complete
such restoration or repair of the Demised Premises within 180 days after such
damage (such date to be extended for an additional 30 days for reasons beyond
Landlord's reasonable control), Tenant shall have the right by notice to
Landlord given on or before 30 days thereafter to terminate this Lease. Such
right of termination shall be nullified if such repair or restoration shall be
completed prior to the effective date of Tenant's notice. Such right of
termination shall be Tenant's sole remedy and if not timely elected, the right
to terminate this Lease hereunder shall be deemed waived and of no further force
and
26
effect. If terminated, Tenant shall remain responsible for all of its
obligations under this Lease accruing to the date of termination. Tenant hereby
waives any and all benefits or rights which Tenant might become entitled to by
reason of any statute or law that may be in effect at the time of the occurrence
of any such damage or destruction under which a lease is automatically
terminated or a tenant is given the right to terminate a lease upon such an
occurrence and Tenant agrees that the provisions of this section shall govern
and control in lieu of the provisions thereof. Notwithstanding anything else to
the contrary provided herein, Tenant shall not be required to operate the
Demised Premises in the event that fewer than 3,100 square feet of Floor Space
in the Demised Premises are tenantable.
ARTICLE XII
EMINENT DOMAIN
12.01 TOTAL OR PARTIAL TAKING. If the whole of the Demised Premises shall
be taken by any public or quasi-public authority under the power of
condemnation, eminent domain or expropriation, or in the event of conveyance of
the whole of the Demised Premises in lieu thereof, this Lease shall terminate as
of the day possession shall be taken by such authority. If 25% or less of the
Floor Space of the Demised Premises shall be so taken or conveyed, this Lease
shall terminate only in respect of the part so taken or conveyed as of the day
possession shall be taken by such authority. If more than 25% of the Floor
Space of the Demised Premises shall be so taken or conveyed, this Lease shall
terminate only in respect of the part so taken or conveyed as of the day
possession shall be taken by such authority, but either party shall have the
right to terminate this Lease upon notice given to the other party within 30
days after such taking of possession. If following such taking or conveyance in
lieu thereof, fewer than 3,100 square feet of Floor Space remain in the Demised
Premises, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon notice to
Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of notice of such
taking. If this Lease shall continue in effect as to any portion of the Demised
Premises not so taken or conveyed, the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall be
computed as of the date when possession shall have been taken on the basis of
the remaining Floor Space of the Demised Premises. Except as specifically
provided herein, in the event of any such taking or conveyance there shall be no
reduction in Fixed Rent or Additional Rent. If this Lease shall continue in
effect, Landlord shall, at its expense, but only to the extent of an equitable
proportion of the award or other compensation available to Landlord for the
portion of the Demised Premises taken or conveyed (excluding any award or other
compensation for land and after deducting the expense incurred in connection
with condemnation), make or cause to be made all necessary alterations so as to
constitute the remaining Demised Premises a complete architectural and
tenantable unit, except that Tenant shall make all alterations or replacements
to its stock in trade, fixtures, furniture, furnishings, removable floor
coverings, equipment, signs and all other property of Tenant and decorations in
and around the Demised Premises. In the event that the Demised Premises is not
restored to a complete architectural and tenantable unit within one hundred
eighty (180) days of such taking, regardless of whether such failure is due to
an insufficiency of the award, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this
Lease by notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such
one hundred eighty day-period. If more then 20% of the Floor Space of the
Shopping Center shall be so conveyed (whether or not the Demised Premises is
conveyed in whole or in part), or if so much of the parking facilities shall be
taken or conveyed that the number of parking spaces necessary, or appropriate,
in Landlord's reasonable judgment, for the continued operation of the Shopping
Center shall not be available, then in such event Landlord may, terminate this
Lease upon notice given to Tenant within 30 days after such taking of
possession. All awards and compensation for any taking or conveyance, whether
for the whole or a part of the Shopping Center, the Demised Premises or
otherwise, shall be the property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to
Landlord all of Tenant's right, title and interest in and to any and all such
27
awards and compensation, including, without limitation, any award or
compensation for the value of the unexpired portion of the Term. Tenant shall
be entitled to claim, prove and receive in the condemnation proceeding such
award or compensation as may be allowed for its trade fixtures and for loss of
business, good will, depreciation or injury to and cost of removal of stock in
trade, but only if such award or compensation shall be made by the condemning
authority in addition to, and shall not result in a reduction of, the award or
compensation made by it to Landlord.
ARTICLE XIII
DEFAULT
13.01 DEFAULTS. Each of the following shall be deemed to be an Event of
Default by Tenant and a breach by Tenant hereunder: (a) the filing by or
against the original Tenant named herein or the then named Tenant or Guarantor
in any court, pursuant to any statute either of the United States or of any
state, of a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or a petition for
reorganization or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of all or a
portion of the property of the original Tenant named herein or the then Tenant
or Guarantor, or the making by the original Tenant named herein or the then
Tenant or Guarantor of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the
petitioning for or entering into an arrangement pursuant to any statute either
of the United States or of any state by the original Tenant named herein or the
then Tenant or Guarantor, or the taking of this Lease under any writ of
execution or attachment, or the issuance of any execution or attachment against
the original Tenant named herein or the then Tenant or Guarantor or any of their
property, or the dissolution or liquidation or the commencement of any action or
proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of the original Tenant named
herein or the Tenant or Guarantor, (b) the passing of the Lease to or the
devolution of this Lease upon any person(s) other than Tenant or a permitted
assignee, whether by operation of law or otherwise, (c) the Demised Premises
being abandoned, (d) the Demised Premises becoming vacant or deserted and
remaining so for five days after Landlord shall have given to Tenant a notice
specifying the nature of such default, (e) the default in the payment of any
Fixed Rent or Additional Rent or any part thereof when same is due, or in the
making of any other payment herein provided for, and the continuance of such
default for five days after Landlord shall have given to Tenant a notice
specifying the nature of such default, (f) the default by Tenant or any
affiliate of Tenant under any other lease with Landlord or any affiliate of
Landlord, (g) the default in the performance of any other obligation of Tenant
under this Lease, and the continuance of such default for twenty (20) days after
Landlord shall have given to Tenant a notice specifying the nature of such
default, but if said default shall be of such a nature that it cannot reasonably
be cured or remedied within said twenty-day period, same shall not be deemed an
Event of Default if Tenant shall have commenced in good faith the curing or
remedying of such default within such twenty-day period and shall thereafter
continuously and diligently proceed therewith to completion, provided, however,
that Tenant shall, in fact, cure such default within seventy-five (75) days from
the date the notice is given, or (h) if Tenant shall commit the same type of
default more than three times in any period of 12 consecutive months, then,
notwithstanding that such defaults shall have each been cured within the period
after notice as hereinbefore provided in this Section 13.01, any further similar
default shall be deemed to be deliberate and an immediate "Event of Default"
(and if any further similar default shall occur Landlord, without affording
Tenant an opportunity to cure such further default, may thereafter serve upon
Tenant a notice that this Lease will terminate on a date to be specified in such
notice, which date shall be not less than three (3) days after such notice, and
upon the date so specified this Lease shall terminate but Tenant shall remain
liable as hereinafter provided). For the purposes of this Section 13.01, the
term "affiliate" shall mean any person controlled by, controlling or under
common control with the first person.
28
13.02 REMEDIES OF LANDLORD. A. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand,
such reasonable expenses as Landlord may incur, including, without limitation,
court costs and attorneys' fees and disbursements, in enforcing the performance
of any obligation of Tenant under this Lease. During the continuance of any
Event of Default (whether occurring prior to the Commencement Date or during the
Term), in addition to any other rights Landlord may have at law or in equity for
Tenant's default, Landlord shall have the right, at its option, to serve upon
Tenant a notice that this Lease will terminate on a date to be specified in such
notice, which date shall not be less than three days after such notice, and upon
the date so specified this Lease shall terminate but Tenant shall remain liable
as hereinafter set forth. Nothing in this Section 13.02 shall be deemed to
require Landlord to give the notices(s) herein provided for prior to the
commencement of a summary proceeding for non-payment of Fixed Rent or Additional
Rent on account of any default in the payment thereof; it being intended that
such notice(s) are for the sole purpose of creating a conditional limitation
hereunder pursuant to which this Lease shall be terminated and Tenant shall
become a holdover tenant.
B. If this Lease shall be terminated as provided above in this
Section, or if this Lease shall be terminated by summary proceedings or
otherwise or possession of the Demised Premises is regained by Landlord, (a)
Landlord or its agents, servants or representatives may, immediately or at any
time thereafter, re- enter and resume possession of the Demised Premises and
remove all persons and property therefrom, either by summary dispossess
proceedings or by a suitable action or proceeding at law, or by force or
otherwise, without being liable for any damages therefor, and no such re-entry
shall be deemed an acceptance or surrender of this Lease, (b) Landlord may, in
its own name, but as agent for Tenant if this Lease is not terminated or in
Landlord's own behalf if this Lease is terminated relet the whole or any portion
of the Demised Premises for any period equal to or greater or less than the
period which would have constituted the balance of the Term, for any sum which
Landlord may deem reasonable, to any tenant(s) which Landlord may deem suitable
and satisfactory, and for any use and purpose which Landlord may deem
appropriate, and Landlord may grant concessions of free rent, and (c) Landlord,
at Landlord's option, may make such alterations, repairs, replacements and
decorations in and to the Demised Premises and/or the granting of such tenant
improvement allowance as Landlord in its sole judgment considers advisable or
necessary for the purpose of reletting the Demised Premises and the making of
such alterations, repairs, replacements and decorations and/or the granting of
such tenant improvement allowance shall not operate or be construed to release
Tenant from liability hereunder. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any
way whatsoever for its failure or refusal to relet the Demised Premises or any
part thereof, or in the event the Demised Premises are relet for its failure to
collect the rent under such reletting, and no such refusal or failure to relet
or failure to collect rent shall release or affect Tenant's liability for
damages or otherwise under this Lease. Landlord shall not in any event be
required to pay to Tenant any surplus of any sums received by Landlord on a
reletting of all or any part of the Demised Premises in excess of the Fixed Rent
and Additional Rent reserved in this Lease.
C. In the event of any breach by Tenant mentioned in subdivision (a)
of Section 13.01, Landlord shall immediately and IPSO FACTO, without notice or
other action by Landlord, become entitled to recover from Tenant, and Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated damages for such breach, an amount equal to
the difference, discounted to the date of such breach at the rate of 4% PER
ANNUM, between (i) the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent plus Percentage Rent at
the rate thereof computed on the basis of the most recent actual Percentage Rent
for any calendar year during the Term for the period from the date of such
breach to the end of what would otherwise have constituted the balance of the
Term, and (ii) the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Demised Premises
for the same period. If the Demised Premises or any part thereof shall be relet
by Landlord after such a breach but before
29
presentation of proof of such liquidated damages, the amount of rent reserved
upon such reletting, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, shall be deemed
to be the fair and reasonable rental value for the part of the Demised Premises
so relet during the term of such reletting. Until such time as the
above-mentioned full liquidated damages are paid to Landlord, an amount equal to
the full value of each installment of Fixed Rent and Additional Rent reserved
under this Lease shall be due and payable at the times specified in this Lease,
and if, by reason of the subsequent payment of such full liquidated damages to
Landlord, Landlord shall have received a sum in excess of all amounts to which
Landlord shall be entitled under this Section, such excess shall be refunded
upon the receipt by Landlord of such full liquidated damages. Nothing herein
contained shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove and obtain as
liquidated damages by reason of termination due to subdivision (a) of Section
13.01, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in
effect at the time when and governing the proceeding in which such damages are
to be proved, whether or not such amount is to be greater, equal or less than
the amount of the difference referred to above.
D. In all other defaults, the full amount of each installment of
Fixed Rent and Additional Rent reserved under this Lease or the amounts due to
Landlord under the next succeeding sentence shall be due and payable at the
times specified in this Lease. If this Lease shall be terminated as provided
above in this Section, or if this Lease shall be terminated by summary
proceedings or otherwise or possession of the Demised Premises is regained by
Landlord, whether the Demised Premises shall be relet or not, Landlord shall be
entitled to recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, (x) the
amounts equal to all of the reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in
connection with recovering possession of the Demised Premises, any reletting(s),
brokerage in connection with any reletting(s), court costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements, and any reasonable expenses for putting and
keeping the Demised Premises in good order and for making alterations, repairs,
replacements and decorations in and to the Demised Premises and/or any amounts
granted to such new tenant for tenant improvement allowance and otherwise
preparing the same for reletting(s), which amounts shall be due and payable by
Tenant to Landlord on demand after any such expenses are incurred by Landlord,
and (y) for each month of the balance of the Term or the period which would
otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term, the amount, if any by which
(i) the sum of one monthly installment of the then current Fixed Rent which
would have been payable for the month in question had there been no default by
Tenant, plus one monthly installment of the then current Additional Rent which
would have been payable for the month in question had there been no default by
Tenant, plus 1/12th of the Percentage Rent for the most recent calendar year
during the Term exceeds (ii) the net amount, if any, of the rents collected on
account of the reletting(s) of the Demised Premises for each month of such
period, which amounts shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord in monthly
installments on the last day of each month, and any suit brought to collect the
amount of the deficiency for any month shall not prejudice in any way the rights
of Landlord to collect the deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar
proceeding.
E. In the event of any breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any
of the covenants or provisions of this Lease or in the case of an Event of
Default, Landlord shall have the right of injunction and the right to invoke any
remedy allowed at law or in equity; mention in this Lease of any particular
remedy shall not preclude Landlord from any other remedy at law or in equity.
Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or
under any present or future laws in the event of this Lease being terminated
and/or Landlord obtaining possession of the Demised Premises pursuant to the
provisions of this Article.
13.03 ADDITIONAL RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO CURE TENANT'S DEFAULTS. Landlord may,
but shall not be obligated to, cure at any time upon 10 days' notice, or without
notice in case of emergencies, any default(s) by Tenant under this Lease, and
30
Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand all costs and expenses incurred by
Landlord in curing such default(s), including, without limitation, court costs
and reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements in connection therewith,
together with interest on the amount of costs and expenses so incurred, at the
rate PER ANNUM which is four (4%) percentage points above the prime rate of
Chase Manhattan Bank in effect on such date but in no event higher than the
maximum rate allowed by law.
13.04 BANKRUPTCY OR INSOLVENCY. A. Neither Tenant's interest in this
Lease, nor any estate hereby created in Tenant nor any interest herein or
therein, shall pass to any trustee, except as may specifically be provided
pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 101 ET SEQ. (the Bankruptcy Code"), or to any receiver or
assignee for the benefit of creditors or otherwise by operation of law except as
may specifically be provided pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code.
B. Upon the filing of a petition by or against Tenant under the
Bankruptcy Code, Tenant, as debtor and as debtor in possession, and any trustee
who may be appointed, agree as follows: (i) to perform each and every
obligation of Tenant under this Lease, including, but not limited to, the manner
of use and operation as provided in Article I and Article VI until such time as
this Lease is either rejected or assumed by order of the United States
Bankruptcy Court; (ii) to pay monthly in advance on the first day of each month,
as reasonable compensation for use and occupancy of the Demised Premises, an
amount equal to the monthly installment of Fixed Rent and Additional Rent
otherwise due pursuant to this Lease and to pay Percentage Rent monthly at the
percentage set forth in this Lease for the year in which such month falls on all
sales during such month in excess of one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Base Gross
Sales for such year, with payment of all such percentage rent to be made by the
fifteenth (15th) day of the succeeding month; (iii) to reject or assume this
Lease within sixty (60) days of the appointment of such trustee under Chapter 7
of the Bankruptcy Code or within one hundred twenty (120) days (or such shorter
term as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may deem reasonable, so long as notice
of such period is given) of the filing of a petition under any other Chapter of
the Bankruptcy Code; (iv) to give Landlord at least forty-five (45) days' prior
written notice of any proceeding related to any assumption of this Lease; (v) to
give at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice of any abandonment of the
Demised Premises, with any such abandonment to be deemed a rejection of this
Lease and an abandonment of any property not previously moved from the Demised
Premises; (vi) to do all other things of benefit to Landlord otherwise required
under the Bankruptcy Code; (vii) to be deemed to have rejected this Lease in the
event of the failure to comply with any of the above; and (viii) to have
consented to the entry of an order by an appropriate United States Bankruptcy
Court providing all of the above, waiving notice and hearing of the entry of
same.
C. No default of this Lease by Tenant, either prior to or subsequent
to the filing of such a petition, shall be deemed to have been waived unless
expressly done so in writing by Landlord. It is understood and agreed that this
is a lease of real property in a shopping center and that, therefore, Section
365(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code is applicable to any proposed assumption of
this Lease in a bankruptcy case. Included within and in addition to any other
conditions or obligations imposed upon Tenant or its successor in the event of
assumption and/or assignments are the following: (i) the cure of any monetary
defaults and the reimbursement of any pecuniary loss immediately upon entry of a
court order providing for assumption and/or assignment; (ii) the deposit of a
sum equal to three (3) months rent to be held by Landlord as a security deposit;
(iii) that the use of the Demised Premises remain as set forth in Article VI and
the quality, quantity and/or lines of merchandise of any goods or services
required to be offered for sale remain unchanged; (iv) that the debtor, debtor
in possession, trustee, or assignee of such entity demonstrates in writing that
it has sufficient background including, but not limited to, substantial
retailing experience in shopping centers of comparable size and financial
ability to operate a
31
retail establishment of the Demised Premises in the manner contemplated in this
Lease, and meets all other reasonable criteria of Landlord as did Tenant upon
execution of this Lease; (v) that the prior written consent of any Mortgagee to
which this Lease has been assigned as collateral security; (vi) that the Demised
Premises, at all times, remains a single store and no physical changes of any
kind may be made to the Demised Premises unless in compliance with the
applicable provisions of this Lease, and (vii) that Tenant shall pay any and all
reasonable costs and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable legal
fees) incurred by Landlord in connection with any such filing of a petition by
or against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code.
D. If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, any and all monies or other considerations
payable or otherwise delivered in connection with such assignment shall be paid
or delivered to Landlord, shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord
and shall not constitute property of Tenant or of the estate of Tenant within
the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. Any and all monies or other considerations
constituting Landlord's property under the preceding sentence not paid or
delivered to Landlord upon the receipt thereof by Tenant or any Trustee shall be
held in trust for the benefit of Landlord and shall be promptly paid to Landlord
upon the entry of an appropriate order by the United States Bankruptcy Court.
ARTICLE XIV
RIGHT TO RELOCATE TENANT
14.01 Deleted.
ARTICLE XV
MISCELLANEOUS
15.01 RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant shall comply with and observe all
reasonable rules and regulations which Landlord shall from time to time
promulgate for the management and use of the Shopping Center which shall include
the storefront criteria for the Shopping Center, and Tenant shall use its best
efforts to cause its subtenants, concessionaires and licensees and their and
Tenant's respective officers, employees, agents, customers and invitees to
comply with and observe such rules and regulations after notice thereof shall be
given to Tenant. Landlord shall have the right from time to time to reasonably
amend or supplement any rules and regulations theretofore promulgated. Tenant's
failure to keep and observe all rules and regulations shall constitute a
material breach of the terms of this Lease in the manner as if the same were
contained herein as covenants. Annexed hereto as Exhibit "D" is a schedule of
those rules and regulations and storefront criteria which have been promulgated
by Landlord as of the date hereof. If there shall be any conflict between the
rules and regulations and the provisions of this Lease, the provisions of this
Lease shall control.
15.02 HOLDOVER. In the event Tenant remains in possession of the Demised
Premises after the expiration of the Term, Tenant shall be deemed to be
occupying the Demised Premises as a tenant from month to month at the sufferance
of Landlord subject to all of the provisions of this Lease, except that the
Fixed Rent shall be at the monthly rate equal to twice the monthly rate of Fixed
Rent in effect during the last month of the Term and Percentage Rent shall be at
the monthly rate equal to 1/12th of the greatest amount of Percentage Rent paid
or payable by Tenant for any one year prior to such period, and Tenant shall be
responsible for any and all other damages (including, without limitation,
consequential damages) which Landlord may sustain by reason of such action by
Tenant.
32
15.03 OWNERSHIP OF IMPROVEMENTS AND PERSONAL PROPERTY. All installations,
alterations, additions, betterments and improvements upon the Demised Premises,
made by any party, including, without limitation, all pipes, ducts, conduits,
wiring, panelling, partitions, railings, mezzanine floors, galleries and the
like shall become the property of Landlord when installed and, except as
otherwise expressly provided in Section 15.04, shall remain upon and be
surrendered with the Demised Premises as a part thereof at the expiration or
sooner termination of the Term. Movable trade fixtures and other personal
property which Tenant installs at its own expense shall remain Tenant's property
and may be removed at any time provided Tenant promptly repairs any damage
caused by such removal and provided further that Tenant shall not then be in
default under this Lease. Any personal property of Tenant or subtenant,
concessionaire or licensee which shall remain in the Demised Premises after the
termination of this Lease and the removal of Tenant and/or such subtenant,
concessionaires or licensee from the Demised Premises, may, at the option of the
Landlord, be deemed to have been abandoned by Tenant or such subtenant,
concessionaire or licensee and either be retained by Landlord as it is property
or be disposed of, in such manner as Landlord sees fit, at Tenant's expense.
15.04 END OF TERM. At the expiration or sooner termination of the Term,
Tenant shall quit and surrender to Landlord the Demised Premises, broom clean
and in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire and
any other insured casualty excepted. At such expiration or sooner termination
Tenant shall remove all property of Tenant and its signage, including but not
limited to, its storefront signage, and at the option of Landlord, shall remove
any or all alterations and other improvements made by Tenant to the Demised

any emergency or other statutory remedy. Tenant further agrees that it shall
not interpose any counterclaim(s) in a summary proceeding or in any action based

15.06 NO WAIVER. The failure of Landlord to insist in any one or more cases
upon the strict performance or observation of any obligation of Tenant hereunder

right or option of Landlord. Landlord's receipt and acceptance of Fixed Rent
and/or Additional Rent, or Landlord's acceptance of performance of any other
obligation by Tenant, with knowledge of Tenant's breach of any provision of this
Lease, shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No consent, approval or
waiver, express or implied, by Landlord or Tenant to or of any breach of any
covenant, agreement or obligation, of Landlord or Tenant shall be construed as a
consent or waiver to or of any other breach of the same or any other covenant,
agreement or obligation unless in each case in writing signed by Landlord or
Tenant, whichever the case may be. Landlord's failure during the Term to
prepare and deliver to Tenant any bill, statement or notice with respect to any
item of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent or any increases thereto by operation of
any provision of this Lease, shall not in any way cause Landlord to forfeit or
surrender its right to collect any item of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent which
may become due during the Term nor shall such failure extend the date(s) on
which any such items of Fixed Rent and/or Additional Rent are due.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, except as may be expressly set forth in

manufacturers outlet store or an off-price or discount retail store with a
similar or competing business within a radius of 25 air miles from the extreme
limits of the Shopping Center. Should Tenant violate this provision, then in
addition to any and all rights and remedies which Landlord may have, at law or
in equity, Landlord may require Tenant to include the gross sales from any such
factory or manufacturers outlet store or off-price or discount retail store
located within such restricted radius in the Gross Sales reportable by Tenant to
Landlord under the terms of this Lease for the purpose of computing Percentage

Rent, including the Percentage Rent during such period. If Tenant shall be
entitled to and does elect to pay such amounts in lieu of the Fixed Rent, the
payment of four percent (4%) of Gross Sales shall continue until such tenancy
requirement has been satisfied. For purposes of this Section, any leasable
Floor Space of any addition to the Shopping Center (to the extent built) shall
be included for determination of compliance hereunder. For the purpose of this
