TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. LEASE OF PREMISES.
(a) Demise. Subject to the covenants, terms, provisions and
conditions of this Lease, Landlord leases the entire Property to Tenant.
Landlord and Tenant agree that the leaseable area of the Premises described in
the Schedule is correct and shall not be remeasured.
(b) Term. The Term shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall
expire on the Expiration Date, unless terminated earlier as otherwise provided
in this Lease. Within thirty (30) days after Landlord's request, Landlord and
Tenant will execute a Commencement Date Confirmation in the form attached as
Exhibit C, which shall acknowledge the Commencement Date and the Expiration
Date.
(c) Possession. Tenant is now in possession of the Property under
the "Existing Lease" (as defined in the Existing Lease Rider). Landlord agrees
to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant under this Lease on the Delivery
Date.
2. RENT.
(a) Base Rent. Commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay
Base Rent in monthly installments in advance on or before the first day of each
month of the Term. As used in this Lease, "RENT" shall mean Base Rent and all
other sums, charges, fees, expenses, costs and additional rent which Tenant is
required to pay under this Lease.
(b) Payment of Rent. The following provisions shall govern the
payment of Rent: (i) Tenant shall pay Rent to Landlord at Landlord's address
described in the Schedule, or to such other party or to such other address in
the United States as Landlord may hereafter designate by written notice to
Tenant; (ii) if the Term ends on a day other than the last day of a calendar
month, then Base Rent for the month in which the Term so ends shall be prorated
based upon the ratio that the number of days in such month which fall within the
Term bears to the total number of days in such month; (iii) all Rent shall be
paid to Landlord without demand, offset or deduction, and the covenant to pay
Rent shall be independent of every other covenant in this Lease; (iv) any Rent
payment owing by Tenant to Landlord which is not paid when due shall bear
interest from the date due until the date paid at a rate (the "DEFAULT RATE")
equal to four percent (4%) plus the corporate base rate (the "PRIME RATE") of
interest announced from time to time by Bank One at its Chicago, Illinois
office, but in no event higher than the maximum rate permitted by applicable
Law; (v) Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge for any Rent payment which is
paid more than five (5) days after its due date equal to Seven Hundred Fifty
Dollars ($750.00); (vi) each amount owed to Landlord under this Lease for which
the date of payment is not expressly fixed shall be due on the same date as the
Rent listed on the statement showing such amount is due; and (viii) Landlord
shall have the right to apply payments received from Tenant pursuant to this
Lease (regardless of Tenant's designation of any contrary application) to
satisfy any obligations of Tenant hereunder, in such order and amounts as
Landlord in its sole discretion may elect.
(c) Net-Net-Net Lease. All Rent payable under this Lease shall be
absolutely net to the Landlord so that this Lease shall yield, net, to Landlord,
the specified annual Base Rent in each specified period during the Term, and
each and every item of taxes and other expenses of every kind and nature
whatsoever, the payment of which Landlord is, shall, or may become liable for by
reason of its estate or interest in the Property or of any rights or interest of
Landlord in or under this Lease or by reason or in any manner connected with or
arising from the ownership, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, repair,
rebuilding, remodeling, renovation, uses or occupancy of the Property shall be
borne by Tenant, all as otherwise provided herein (specifically, without
limitation, Sections 4, 6, 7, 9, 11 and 12).
(d) Rent Absolute. Any damage or destruction to all or any portion
of the buildings, structures and fixtures comprising the Property, by fire, the
elements, or any other cause whatsoever, whether with or without fault on the
part of any Tenant Party, shall not, terminate this Lease or entitle Tenant to
surrender the Property or entitle Tenant to any abatement of or reduction in the
Rent payable, or otherwise affect the respective obligations of the parties
hereto. If the use of the Property for any purpose should, at any time during
the Term, be prohibited by Law or prevented by injunction, this Lease shall not
be thereby terminated, nor shall Tenant be entitled by reason thereof to
surrender the Property, or to any abatement or reduction in Rent, nor shall the
respective
177305.3 050137-31403
6/26/03
Form Retail Lease Agreement 2001.12
-4-
obligations of the parties hereto be otherwise affected unless such eviction is
due to the act of Landlord or any person or persons claiming any interest in the
Property by or under Landlord.
3. USE.
(a) Limitation on Use. The Property shall be used and occupied
solely for the Permitted Use. Tenant shall not cause or permit the Property to
be used in any way which (i) constitutes a violation of federal, state or local
law, statute, ordinance, code, rule, order, decree or certificate of occupancy
(individually, a "LAW" and collectively, the "LAWS"), or (ii) overload the
structural limitations of the Property, or (iii) constitutes a nuisance or
waste, or (iv) constitutes a violation of the Declaration. Tenant shall not use
or install any of Tenant's Property in or to the Premises which would exceed the
legal live load per square foot designated by the structural engineers for the
Building (and Tenant shall ascertain from Landlord such legal live load prior to
installing Tenant's Property).
(b) Quiet Enjoyment. As long as no Default exists, Tenant shall
peacefully and quietly have and enjoy the Property for the Term, free from
interference by Landlord, subject, however, to the provisions of this Lease. The
loss or reduction of Tenant's light, air or view will not be deemed a
disturbance of Tenant's occupancy of the Property nor will it affect Tenant's
obligations under this Lease or create any liability of Landlord to Tenant.
Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the date of this Lease,
Landlord owns fee title to the Property with full power and authority to enter
into and deliver possession of the Property to Tenant under this Lease.
4. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.
(a) Tenant's Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Tenant
represents, warrants and covenants to and with Landlord that:
(i) Tenant has the full right, power, and authority to carry
out its environmental obligations hereunder.
(ii) Tenant is financially capable of performing and
satisfying its environmental obligations hereunder.
(iii) To the knowledge of Tenant, Tenant is not now, and never
has been, in violation in any material respect of any applicable
Environmental Law, including, but not limited to, any Environmental Law
relating to the generation, handling, usage, transportation, treatment,
storage, or disposal of Hazardous Materials, nor is it subject to any
threatened, existing, or pending action by any governmental authority in
connection therewith.
(iv) Tenant's generation, handling, usage, transportation,
treatment, storage, or disposal of Hazardous Materials at the Property
will (A) at all times comply in all material respects with applicable
Environmental Laws, and (B) not cause or allow any Environmental Condition
to occur or exist.
(v) Tenant, at its expense, shall comply in all material
respects with each Environmental Law pertaining to the Property or
Tenant's use of the Property, and with all lawful directions, regardless
of when they become effective, of all public officers issued pursuant to
any Environmental Law, which shall impose any duty upon the owner or
operator with respect to the use or occupancy of the Property.
(vi) Tenant will not install, use or operate any underground
storage tank at the Property without the express written permission of
Landlord, which permission may be withheld in Landlord's sole and
arbitrary discretion.
(b) Notice. Tenant shall give prompt written notice to Landlord of
(i) any proceeding or inquiry by any governmental authority with respect to the
presence of any Hazardous Materials at the Property or the migration thereof
from or to other areas, (ii) all claims and potential claims made, inquired
about, or threatened by any third party against Tenant or the Property relating
to any loss or injury resulting from any Hazardous Materials, and (iii) Tenant's
discovery of any occurrence or condition on any property adjoining or in the
vicinity of the Property
177305.3 050137-31403
6/26/03
Form Retail Lease Agreement 2001.12
-5-
that could cause the Property or any part thereof to be subject to any
restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use of the Property
under any Environmental Law.
(c) Tenant Indemnification. Tenant shall defend with counsel
reasonably approved by Landlord, all actions against any Landlord Party with
respect to, and pay, protect, indemnify, and hold harmless, to the extent
permitted by Law, the Landlord Parties from and against any and all
Environmental Costs of any nature arising out of, or claimed to be arising out
of, any Environmental Conditions caused by Tenant's use or occupancy of the
Property or by the acts or omissions of any Tenant Party. This indemnification
shall include without limitation Environmental Costs arising out of any
violations of Environmental Laws, regardless of any real or alleged fault,
negligence, willful misconduct, gross negligence, breach of warranty, or strict
liability on the part of any Tenant Party. The foregoing indemnity shall survive
the end of the Term for the maximum period allowed by Law.
(d) Disclosure. Tenant shall provide Landlord a copy of every
document Tenant makes available to any governmental authority or to any person
under any Environmental Law regarding the Property.
(e) Inspection. Landlord shall have the right, but not the duty, to
inspect the Property at any time to determine whether Tenant is complying with
the terms of this Section 4. If Tenant is not in compliance, then Landlord shall
have the right to immediately enter upon the Property to remedy, at Tenant's
expense, any Environmental Conditions caused by Tenant's failure to comply,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary. Such
remediation measures shall be done in accordance with the reasonable
recommendations of Landlord's geotechnical engineers and/or consultants, and/or
the lawful requirements of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over
such matters. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, all reasonable
and necessary Environmental Costs incurred by Landlord in performing any such
remediation measures within sixty (60) days after Landlord's written request
therefore. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with
Tenant's business operations, but Landlord shall not be liable for any necessary
interference caused thereby.

177305.3 050137-31403

-6-
limitation, diminution in value of the Property, damages for the loss or

5. CONDITION OF PREMISES. No agreement of Landlord to alter, remodel,
decorate, clean or improve the Property or to demolish and/or remove any
improvements, equipment or property located at the Property (or to provide
Tenant with any credit or allowance for any of the foregoing), and no
representation regarding the condition of the Property have been made by or on
behalf of Landlord or relied upon by Tenant, it being agreed that Tenant shall
accept the Property in an "as-is" "where-is" condition and configuration on the
Delivery Date. Tenant, at its expense, shall (a) obtain any and all certificates
of occupancy, special use permits, business licenses and other permits and
licenses which may be required by applicable Law for Tenant's use and occupancy
of the Property, and (b) make any and all improvements, alterations and

(b) Interruptions in Utilities or Services. Tenant agrees that
Landlord shall not be liable for damages for any failure or interruption in
furnishing any Utility or Service nor shall any such failure or interruption be
considered to be an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use of the Premises, or
relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay any Rent when due or from any other
obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
7. TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS.
(a) Taxes and Assessments. Tenant agrees to pay not later than the
due date thereof, as additional rent for the Property, all taxes and
assessments, general and special, water and sewer rents, rates and charges,
excises, levies, license and permit fees, fines, penalties and other
governmental charges and any interest or costs with respect thereto, utilities
and all other impositions, ordinary and extraordinary, of every kind and nature
whatsoever, which at anytime during the Term may be levied, assessed, imposed,
confirmed or grow or become due and payable out of, or in respect of, or charged
with respect to, or become a lien on the Property or any part thereof. If, by
Law, any assessment may, at the option of the taxpayer, be paid in installments,
Tenant may exercise the option to pay the same in such installments, provided
that Tenant shall not be responsible for the payment of any such installment
which may be due after the Expiration Date. In the event that any such
assessment (other than an assessment for ad valorem real estate taxes) is
attributed to Tenant's acts or improvements, any such assessments which are to
become due and payable after the Expiration Date shall be deposited with
Landlord for such payment on the Expiration Date. Tenant shall, in addition to
the foregoing, pay any new tax of a type or a nature not presently in effect but
which may hereafter be levied, assessed or imposed upon Landlord or upon the
Property, if such tax shall be based upon or arise out of the ownership, use or
operation of the Property; provided, however, that for the purpose of computing
Tenant's liability for such new type of tax, the Property shall be deemed the
only property of the Landlord.
(b) Excluded Taxes. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to
require Tenant to pay any intangible, single business or other business
activities, franchise, inheritance, estate, succession or transfer tax of
Landlord or any income or excess profits tax assessed upon or in respect of any
income of Landlord or chargeable to or required to be paid by Landlord, unless
such tax shall be specifically levied against the gross rental income of
Landlord derived hereunder, in which case, Tenant shall pay such tax, or any tax
which shall be specifically levied as a substitute for the real estate taxes, in
whole or in part, upon the Property or the improvements comprising same.

(d) Landlord's Payment Right. Landlord shall, at its option, have
the right at all times during the Term to pay any such taxes, assessments or

Default Rate from the date of payment thereof.
(e) Tax Contests. Tenant shall not be required to pay any tax,
assessment, tax lien or other imposition or charge upon or against the Property
or any part thereof or the improvements at any time comprising same so long as
Tenant shall, in good faith and with due diligence, contest the same or the
validity thereof by appropriate legal proceedings which shall have the effect of
preventing the collection of the tax, assessment, tax lien or other imposition
or charge so contested; provided that on or before the due date of any such tax,

period following the cure of such monetary Default by Tenant and during which no
subsequent monetary Default by Tenant occurs, Landlord, at its option, may
require Tenant to escrow taxes and assessments for the Property with Landlord
during the Tax Escrow Period, in which event Tenant agrees to deposit with
Landlord on or before the first day of each month of the Tax Escrow Period,
one-twelfth (l/12th) of the most recent annual taxes and assessments for the
Property, and in such event, Landlord shall pay or cause to be paid such taxes
and assessments (but Tenant shall remain obligated to make up any shortfall or
deficiency in said escrow from time to time within ten (10) days after written
request from Landlord), and (ii) Tenant's deposits of such amounts with Landlord
shall constitute Tenant's payment of the amounts required under Section 7(a)
above.
8. RIGHTS RESERVED TO LANDLORD. Landlord reserves the following rights,
each of which Landlord may exercise without notice to Tenant and without
liability to Tenant, and the exercise of any such rights shall not be deemed to
constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use or possession of the
Premises and shall not give rise to any claim for set-off, deduction, or
abatement of Rent or any other claim: (a) to change the name or street address
of the Property; (b) to install, affix and maintain signs (including, but only
during the last twenty-four (24) months of the Term, "For Lease" or "For Sale"

and shall, at Tenant's sole expense, promptly make or cause to be made all
needed repairs, replacements, renewals and additions, structural or otherwise,
whether ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, in and to any of the
foregoing, all as may be
177305.3 050137-31403
6/26/03
Form Retail Lease Agreement 2001.12
-8-
necessary to maintain the condition of the Property throughout the Term and all
in accordance with Sections 10, 11 and 17. All such repairs, replacements,
renewals and additions shall be of good quality and sufficient for the proper
maintenance and operation of the Property and any buildings, structures,
facilities, furnishings, equipment, fixtures, improvements and appurtenances now
or hereafter comprising same and shall be constructed and installed in
compliance with all requirements of all governmental authorities having
jurisdiction thereof and of the appropriate Board of Fire Underwriters or any
successor thereof. Tenant shall not permit anything to be done upon the Property
which would invalidate or prevent the procurement of any insurance policies
which may at any time be required pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.
(b) Maintenance by Landlord on Tenant's Default. If Tenant refuses
or neglects to make any repairs as required hereunder to the reasonable
satisfaction of Landlord, Landlord, within seven (7) days after written demand,
may make such repairs without liability to Tenant for any loss or damage that
may accrue to Tenant's Property or to Tenant's business by reason thereof, and
upon completion thereof, Tenant shall pay Landlord's costs for making such
repairs plus ten percent (10%) of such costs for overhead upon presentation of a
xxxx therefor, as additional rent.
10. ALTERATIONS.
(a) Requirements. Tenant shall not make any opening in the roof or
exterior walls of the Building or any other alteration, improvement or addition
to or removal from the Property (individually, an "ALTERATION" and collectively
the "ALTERATIONS") without the prior written consent of Landlord in each such
instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event Tenant
proposes to make any Alteration, Tenant shall, prior to commencing such
Alteration, submit to Landlord for prior written approval (i) detailed plans and
specifications reasonably acceptable to Landlord (and Tenant shall thereafter
submit to Landlord for approval any and all proposed changes to such plans and
specifications); (ii) names and addresses of all contractors reasonably
acceptable to Landlord and copies of all contracts with said contractors; (iii)
a detailed cost estimate, certified by the architect who prepared the plans and
specifications; (iv) all necessary permits evidencing compliance with all
applicable governmental rules, regulations and requirements; (v) certificates of
insurance in form and amounts reasonably required by Landlord, naming the
Landlord Parties as additional insureds; and (vi) all other documents and
information as Landlord may reasonably request in connection with such
Alteration. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord's consent
shall not be required for any Alteration that (i) satisfies all of the following
criteria: (A) will not affect the HVAC, electrical, lighting, plumbing, fire
protection, security and structural units, systems and equipment of the
Building; (B) does not require openings on the roof or exterior walls of the
Building; and (C) does not exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) in the
aggregate in any twelve (12) month period, or (ii) satisfies all of the
following criteria ("COSMETIC WORK"): (A) is of a cosmetic nature such as
painting, wallpapering, and carpet installation; (B) will not affect the HVAC,
electrical, lighting, plumbing, fire protection, security and structural units,
systems and equipment of the Building; and (C) does not require work to be
performed inside the walls or above the ceiling of the Premises; provided,
however, that the performance of Cosmetic Work shall remain subject to all of
the other provisions of this Section 10. Tenant shall pay the entire cost of any
Alteration and, if requested by Landlord, shall deposit with Landlord prior to
the commencement of any Alteration, security for the payment and completion of
such Alteration in form and amount required by Landlord. Provided that the
Alteration is not Cosmetic Work, Tenant shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30)
days after billing an amount equal to the sum of (i) Landlord's actual and
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses paid to third parties for the review
of Tenant's plans and specifications for such Alteration, plus (ii) Five Hundred
Dollars ($500.00). Landlord's approval of any Alteration shall not constitute a
representation by Landlord that such Alteration complies with applicable Laws
and insurance company requirements or will be adequate for Tenant's use. All
Alterations (i) shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, in
accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord, (ii) shall be
performed at times and in accordance with rules, regulations and procedures
reasonably established by Landlord (other than the imposition of the condition
of use of union labor), (iii) shall meet or exceed the standards for
construction and quality of materials established by Landlord for the Building,
and (iv) shall be performed in compliance with all applicable Laws and insurance
company requirements. Upon completion of any Alteration, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord (i) all contractor's and subcontractor's affidavits and full and final
waivers of lien for all labor, services or materials, and (ii) "as-built" plans
of such Alteration.
(b) Ownership. Each Alteration, whether temporary or permanent in
character, made by Landlord or Tenant in and upon the Property (excepting only
Tenant's Property) including, without limitation, any alteration, addition or
improvement to the Building or the Property made by Tenant under the Existing
Lease, shall become Landlord's property and shall remain upon the Premises at
the expiration or termination of this Lease without
177305.3 050137-31403
6/26/03
Form Retail Lease Agreement 2001.12
-9-
compensation to Tenant; provided, however, that Landlord shall have the right to
require Tenant to remove any such Alteration or any portion of such Alteration
made after the date of this Lease (the "REQUIRED REMOVABLES") at Tenant's sole
cost and expense in accordance with Section 17 below, except that the Required
Removables shall exclude any cranes now or hereafter attached to the Building.
Tenant, at the time it requests Landlord's consent for any proposed Alteration,
may request in writing that Landlord advise Tenant if such Alteration or any
portion of such Alteration will be required to be removed. Landlord shall advise
Tenant in writing as to which portions of such Alteration, if any, will be
required to be removed at the same time as (but shall be an independent
determination from) Landlord's consent to the making of such Alteration.
11. LIENS.
(a) Lien Claims. Tenant shall not do any act which shall in any way
encumber the title of the Landlord in and to the Property nor shall any interest
or estate of Landlord in the Property be in any way subject to any claim by way
of lien or encumbrance, whether by operation of Law or by virtue of any express
or implied contract by Tenant, and any claim to or lien upon the Property
arising from any act or omission of Tenant shall accrue only against the
leasehold estate of Tenant under this Lease and shall in all respects be subject
and subordinate to the paramount title and rights of Landlord in and to the
Property. Tenant will not permit the Property to become subject to any
mechanics', laborers', or materialmen's lien on account of labor or material
furnished to Tenant or claimed to have been furnished to Tenant in connection
with work of any character performed or claimed to have been performed on the
Premises by or at the direction or sufferance of Tenant; provider, however that
Tenant shall have the right to contest in good faith and with reasonable
diligence, the validity of any such lien or claimed lien if tenant shall first
give to Landlord an amount equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the
amount of the lien or claimed lien which, together with interest thereon, shall
be held by Landlord as security to insure payment thereof and to prevent any
sale, foreclosure or forfeiture of the Property by reason of non-payment
thereof. Landlord shall hold the amount so deposited with Landlord in an account
established at a federally insured banking institution until satisfactory
removal of said lien or claim of lien. On any final determination of the lien or
claim for lien, Tenant will immediately pay any judgment rendered, with all
proper costs and charges, and will, at its own expense, have the lien released
and any judgment satisfied. If Tenant fail to diligently contest and pursue such
lien contest, Landlord may, at its option, use the sums so deposited to
discharge any such lien upon the renewal of such lien or encumbrance Landlord
shall pay all such sums remaining on deposit to Tenant.
(b) Landlord's Right to Cure. If Tenant shall fail to contest the
validity of any lien or claimed lien or fail to give security to Landlord to
insure payment thereof, or shall fail to prosecute such contest with diligence,
or shall fail to have the same released and satisfy any judgment rendered
thereon, then Landlord may, at its election (but shall not be so required)
remove or discharge such lien or claim for lien (with the right, in its
discretion, to settle or compromise the same), and any amounts advanced by
Landlord, including reasonable attorneys' fees, for such purposes shall be so
much additional rent due from Tenant to Landlord on the first day of the next
calendar month after any such payment, with the interest thereon at the Default
Rate from the date so advanced until the date paid in full.
12. INSURANCE.
(a) Liability Insurance. Tenant shall at all times during the Term,
at Tenant's expense, maintain commercial general liability insurance covering
the Property insuring Landlord as well as Tenant with limits not less than
$5,000,000 for each injury or death to a person and $5,000,000 for each incident
involving personal injury or death to persons and, in each case of property
damage, not less than $5,000,000 for any one occurrence. If by reason of changed
economic conditions or a change in custom and practice the coverages and amounts
of commercial general liability insurance referred to above become inadequate as
measured with respect to businesses comparable to Tenant in size and type, then
Tenant agrees to increase the coverages and amounts of such insurance promptly
upon Landlord's request.
(b) Property Insurance.
(i) Tenant shall at all times during the Term, at Tenant's
expense, keep the Building insured against loss by fire and those risks
now or hereafter normally covered by the term "all risk extended
coverage", in the amount of the full replacement cost to the extent
available (without depreciation) of the Building and which insurance
coverage shall include an Agreed Amount Endorsement waiving any
coinsurance provisions contained in the applicable insurance policy. For
the purposes of determining the
177305.3 050137-31403
6/26/03
Form Retail Lease Agreement 2001.12
-10-
amount of insurance hereunder, Landlord may request a written appraisal
furnished by an insurance company insuring the Building, or an independent
appraisal company, not more frequently than once every three years, and
such appraisal shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall
bear the expense, if any, of such appraisals.
(ii) Tenant shall at all times during the Term, at Tenant's
expense, keep Tenant's furniture, trade fixtures, equipment, machinery,
inventory and all other items of personal property of Tenant located at
the Property (collectively, "TENANT'S PROPERTY") insured against loss by
fire and those risks now or hereafter normally covered by the term "all
risk extended coverage" in the amount of the full replacement cost of such
property.
(c) Business Interruption Insurance. Tenant shall at all times
during the Term, at Tenant's expense, maintain all risk business interruption
rental use and occupancy insurance in an amount equal to Base Rent and real
estate taxes and all additional charges hereunder for a period of twelve (12)
months, to insure payment of all charges due to Landlord hereunder in the event
of the interruption of Tenant's business for any reason whatsoever.
(d) Worker's Compensation Insurance. In the event that Tenant or any
one holding or claiming by, through or under Tenant employs any person or
persons upon the Property, then Tenant or such person holding or claiming by,
through or under Tenant shall provide at its expense for Worker's Compensation
Insurance in the usual form indemnifying Tenant and Landlord against loss or
damage resulting from any accident or casualty within the purview of the
Michigan Worker's Compensation Law and in the amount as required from time to
time by statute.
(e) Boiler and Plate Glass Insurance. Tenant shall maintain, in full
force and effect during the Term, at Tenant's expense, boiler insurance in an
amount equal to the total cost of the boiler as installed and improved and
insurance against breakage of all plate glass used in the Building.
(f) Other Insurance. In the event that any type of Law may hereafter
be enacted imposing special liability upon Landlord by virtue of the use of the
Property for any purpose, Tenant shall provide Landlord (prior to using the
Property for such purpose), with insurance insuring against any and all such
liability. Tenant shall procure, at Tenant's expense, any additional type of
insurance coverage necessitated by activities carried on by Tenant at the
Property or reasonably requested by Landlord to protect Landlord's interest in
the Property. Unless otherwise provided herein, all such other policies of
insurance set forth in this Section 12(f) shall be with insurers and have limits
of coverage as are customarily then carried by businesses comparable to Tenant
in size and type and naming Landlord, its agent and its Mortgagee (if any) as
additional insured parties thereunder.
(g) Evidence of Insurance. The policies of insurance obtained in
compliance with this Section 12 shall specify that the loss, if any, shall be
payable to Landlord and its Mortgagee (if any), except that policies of
insurance obtained in compliance with Section 12(a) shall specify that the loss,
if any, shall be payable to Landlord, each Mortgagee (if any) and Tenant as
their respective interests may appear. In the event the Property is owned by a
trust, Tenant shall maintain all insurance required pursuant to this Lease in
the name of the beneficiaries of said trust as well as the trustee. All policies
of insurance obtained in compliance with this Section 12 shall contain a clause
that the insurer will not cancel or change the insurance without first giving
Landlord and Tenant thirty (30) days' prior written notice. The policies of
insurance obtained by Tenant hereunder shall be with responsible insurance
companies qualified to do business in Michigan and having an A.M. Best's rating
of "A-XII" or higher, with deductibles not in excess of $25,000, and Landlord
and each Mortgagee (if any) shall be named as an additional insured. A copy of
each such policy or a certificate of insurance with respect thereto shall be
delivered to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date and whenever requested
thereafter by Landlord. Landlord shall notify Tenant within sixty (60) days of
receipt of such insurance if such insurance shall fail to conform to the
requirements of this Lease. Thereafter, until Landlord otherwise notifies
Tenant, the insurance shall be deemed to meet the requirements of this Lease.
Landlord shall hold all policies of insurance as provided hereunder for the
benefit of Landlord and Tenant, all as their respective interest may appear. At
the request of Landlord, a mortgage clause may be included in said policies
covering Landlord's mortgagee, if any.
(h) Failure to Provide Insurance. In the event Tenant shall fail,
when required, to furnish evidence of any of the insurance provided for in this
Section 12, or in the event such insurance shall be cancelled, terminated or
changed, Landlord shall have the right at its election (but without being
obligated so to do) to procure
177305.3 050137-31403
6/26/03
Form Retail Lease Agreement 2001.12
-11-
or renew the same; and the amount or amounts paid therefor shall become so much
additional rent under the terms hereof, due and payable with the next succeeding
installment of Base Rent due hereunder, with interest at the Default Rate from
the date of payment thereof.
(i) Application of Insurance Proceeds. Landlord shall be entitled to
collect all monies due under the insurance policies provided for hereunder which
are payable in the event and by reason of loss or damage to the Building.
Subject to Section 14(c) below, such proceeds shall be disbursed by Landlord for
repair or reconstruction of the Building or otherwise applied in accordance with
the pertinent provisions of this Lease. All policies of insurance shall, to the
extent obtainable, provide that any loss shall be payable to Landlord
notwithstanding any act or negligence of Tenant which might otherwise result in
a forfeiture of said insurance.
(j) Waiver of Subrogation. Tenant waives any and every claim for
recovery from Landlord for any and all loss or damage to the Property or to the
contents thereof, whether such loss or damage is due to the negligence of any
Landlord Party, to the extent that the amount of such loss or damage is
recoverable under the policies of insurance carried (or required to be carried)
by Tenant under this Lease.
13. INDEMNITY. Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Landlord, Landlord's members, each Mortgagee and their respective directors,
officers, shareholders, affiliates, agents and employees (Landlord and each of
said persons and entities being herein individually called a "LANDLORD PARTY"
and collectively called the "LANDLORD PARTIES"), from and against any and all
claims, demands, actions, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including
attorneys' fees), for injuries to any persons and damage to or theft or
misappropriation or loss of property occurring in or about the Property and
arising from the use and occupancy of the Property or from any activity, work,
or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Property,
including, without limitation, any Tenant's Work performed by or on behalf of
Tenant (except if and to the extent same is caused by the negligence or willful
misconduct of any Landlord Party), or from any Default by Tenant under this
Lease or due to any other act or omission of Tenant, its subtenants, assignees,
invitees, licensees, employees, contractors and agents (Tenant and each of said
persons and entities being hereinafter individually called a "TENANT PARTY" and
collectively called the "TENANT PARTIES"), except to the extent same was caused
by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Landlord Parties. If any such
proceeding is filed against any Landlord Party, then Tenant shall defend such
Landlord Party in such proceeding at Tenant's sole cost by legal counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Landlord Party, if requested by such Landlord
Party. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the end of the Term for the maximum
period allowed by Law.
14. FIRE AND CASUALTY.
(a) Rebuilding. Tenant agrees that in case of damage to or
destruction of the Building or of the fixtures and equipment therein, by fire or
other casualty, it will promptly, at its sole cost and expense, repair, restore
or rebuild the same and upon the completion of such repairs, restoration or
rebuilding, the condition of the Building shall be equal to the condition of the
Building immediately prior to the happening of such fire or other casualty. Rent
shall not xxxxx during the period of such repair, restoration or rebuilding and
during any period that the Building is not tenantable because of such damage or
destruction.
(b) Plans and Specifications. Before commencing such repair,
restoration or rebuilding, involving an estimated cost of more than $10,000, (a)
plans and specifications therefor, prepared by a licensed architect, shall have
been submitted to and approved by Landlord; and (b) Tenant shall have furnished
to Landlord an estimate of the cost of the proposed work, certified by the
architect who prepared such plans and specifications.
(c) Application of Insurance Proceeds. In the event of loss under
any policy or policies of insurance described in Sections 12(b)(i) or 12(e)
hereof and if Tenant is not in Default, the amount of insurance proceeds so
collected by Landlord including those proceeds collected by its Mortgagee, if
any, after payment of expenses incurred in such collection, if requested by
Tenant, shall be disbursed to Tenant in the same manner and following the
customs ordinarily employed by a mortgage bank making construction loans to be
applied toward the expense of repairing or rebuilding the Building; provided,
however, that it shall first appear to the satisfaction of Landlord and its
Mortgagee, if any, that the amount of insurance money available, plus any
additional funds deposited by Tenant, shall at all times be sufficient to pay
for the completion of said repairs or rebuilding. Upon the completion of said
repairs or rebuilding, free from all liens of mechanics and others, any surplus
funds shall be paid to Tenant. All payouts by Landlord as hereinabove required,
shall be made after making provision for reasonable
177305.3 050137-31403
6/26/03
Form Retail Lease Agreement 2001.12
-12-
holdbacks and upon receipt of a certificate of the architect or engineer in
charge of the repairs and rebuilding stating:
(i) that the sum requested is due to the contractors,
materialmen, laborers, engineers, architects, or other persons (whose
names and addresses shall be stated) who have furnished services or
materials for the repairs and restoration, or is required to reimburse
Tenant for expenditures made by Tenant in connection with the repairs and
restoration;
(ii) that the sum requested when added to all sums previously
paid out under this Section 14 for the repairs and restoration does not

to all plans and specifications required by Section 14(b) hereof; and
(v) that in the opinion of the architect or engineer, the

completion of the repairs and restoration to pay for the same in full.
Tenant shall furnish Landlord at the time of any such payment with such
statements and waivers of lien as may be required under the mechanic's lien Laws
of Michigan and an official search, or other evidence satisfactory to Landlord,
that there has not been filed with respect to the Property any mechanic's or
other lien which has not been discharged of record, in respect of any work,
labor, services or materials performed, furnished or supplied, in connection
with the repair and restoration, and that all of said materials have been
purchased free and clear of any security agreement or title retention agreement.
Landlord shall not be required to pay out any sum when the Property shall be
encumbered with any such lien or agreement, or when Tenant is in default under
any covenant or obligation set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing to
the contrary, if the Mortgagee, if any, requires pursuant to the terms of the
applicable mortgage or trust deed that the proceeds of the property insurance
policy on the Building be used to pay off the indebtedness secured by such
mortgage or trust deed, then Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of such
requirement, in which event (y) Tenant shall not have any rights in or to said
proceeds, and (z) this Lease shall terminate effective as of the date of the
fire or casualty.
15. CONDEMNATION.

sale. The total award, compensation or damages received from such proceeding or
sale (hereinafter called the "AWARD") shall be paid to and be the property of
Landlord, whether the award shall be made as compensation for diminution of the
value of the leasehold or the fee of the Property or otherwise, and Tenant
hereby assigns to Landlord, all of Tenant's right, title and interest in and to
the award. Tenant shall execute, immediately upon demand of Landlord, such
documents as may be necessary to facilitate collection by Landlord of any such
Award.
(b) Partial Taking. In the event only a part of the Property shall
be taken as a result of the exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemned
for a public or quasi-public use or purpose by any competent authority or sold
to the condemning authority under threat of condemnation, and as a result
thereof this Lease is not terminated under Section 15(a) above, then this Lease
shall not terminate and Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly
repair and restore the Property and all improvements thereon. Any Award paid as
a consequence of such taking, sale or condemnation, shall be paid to Landlord

completion
177305.3 050137-31403
6/26/03
Form Retail Lease Agreement 2001.12
-13-
of same, Tenant shall be deemed in Default under this Lease and, in addition to
any remedy of Landlord provided for under this Lease, at Law or in equity,
Landlord may retain the Award, or the balance thereof remaining in the hands of
Landlord.

Tenant's Property which lie and are located in the area taken by the condemning
authority, and (ii) the then book (depreciated) value of any leasehold
improvements to the Property paid for by Tenant.
16. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
(a) Transfer. Except (y) for the existing month-to-month sublease
with Leisure Life on the date hereof, and (z) in connection with a Permitted
Transfer, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord: (i)
assign, re-assign, convey, mortgage or otherwise transfer this Lease or any
interest hereunder, (ii) sublease the Property, or any part thereof, whether
voluntarily or by operation of Law; or (iii) permit the use of the Premises by
any person or entity other than Tenant and its employees. Any such transfer,
sublease or use described in the preceding sentence is hereinafter called a
"TRANSFER". Landlord's consent to any Transfer shall not constitute a waiver of
Landlord's right to withhold its consent to any future Transfer. Landlord's
consent to any Transfer or acceptance of rent from any party other than Tenant
shall not release Tenant from any covenant or obligation under this Lease.
Landlord may require as a condition to its consent to any assignment of this
Lease that the assignee sign a commercially reasonable form of assumption
agreement. Except as provided below with respect to a Permitted Transfer, if
Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or similar
entity, and if the person or entity which owns or controls a majority of the
voting shares/rights in Tenant at any time changes for any reason (including but
not limited to a merger, consolidation or reorganization), such change of
ownership or control shall constitute a Transfer. The foregoing shall not apply
so long as Tenant is an entity whose outstanding stock is listed on a recognized
security exchange, or if at least fifty-one percent (51%) of its voting stock is
owned by another entity, the voting stock of which is so listed.
(b) Permitted Transfer. Notwithstanding Section 16(a) above to the
contrary, Tenant may assign its interest in this Lease or sublease all or any
part of the Property (each a "PERMITTED TRANSFER") to a Permitted Transferee
without Landlord's prior written consent; provided, that (i) Tenant gives
Landlord a written notice of any Permitted Transfer not later than thirty (30)
days prior to the effective date of such Permitted Transfer, together with
current financial statements of Tenant and of the Permitted Transferee; (ii)
Tenant is not in Default under this Lease; (iii) with respect to a Permitted
Transfer involving an assignment of this Lease, the Permitted Transferee assumes
this Lease by a written assumption agreement delivered to Landlord prior to the
effective date of such Permitted Transfer; (iv) the Permitted Transferee shall
use the Property only for the Permitted Use; (v) the use of the Premises by the
Permitted Transferee shall not violate any other agreements affecting the
Property; (vi) the occurrence of a Permitted Transfer shall not waive Landlord's
rights as to any subsequent Transfer; and (vii) Tenant shall not be released
from any liability under this Lease (whether past, present or future) by reason
of such Permitted Transfer). As used herein, (A) "AFFILIATE" means any person or
entity who or which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with
Tenant, (B) "SUCCESSOR" means any business entity in which or with which Tenant
is merged or consolidated in accordance with applicable statutory provisions
governing merger and consolidation of business entities, so long as (1) Tenant's
obligations under this Lease are assumed by the Successor; and (2) the Tangible
Net Worth of the Successor is not less than the greater of the Tangible Net
Worth of Tenant on the date hereof or the Tangible Net Worth of Tenant
immediately preceding the effective date of such merger or consolidation, (C)
"PURCHASER" means any person or entity who or which acquires all or
substantially all of the assets of Tenant, so long as the Tangible Net Worth of
the Purchaser is not less than the greater of the Tangible Net Worth of Tenant
as of the date hereof or the Tangible Net Worth of Tenant immediately preceding
such acquisition; (D) "PERMITTED TRANSFEREE" means an Affiliate, Successor or
Purchaser; and (E) "TANGIBLE NET WORTH" means the excess of total assets over
total liabilities, in each case as determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles consistently applied ("GAAP"), excluding however,
from the determination of total assets, all assets which would be classified as
intangible assets under GAAP, including, without limitation, good will,
licenses, patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights and franchises.
(c) Tenant's Request for Consent. If Tenant desires the consent of
Landlord to a Transfer, Tenant shall submit to Landlord at least sixty (60) days
prior to the effective date of the Transfer, a written notice which includes
current financial statements for the transferee, a complete copy of the Transfer
documents and such other information as Landlord may reasonably request. If
Landlord does not terminate this Lease, in whole or in
177305.3 050137-31403
6/26/03
Form Retail Lease Agreement 2001.12
-14-
part, pursuant to Section 16(e) below, then Landlord shall not unreasonably
withhold its consent to any assignment or sublease. Landlord shall not be deemed
to have unreasonably withheld its consent if, in the judgment of Landlord: (i)
the transferee is of a character, image or reputation which is not in keeping
with the standards or criteria used by Landlord in leasing the Property; (ii)
the financial condition of the proposed transferee does not meet the reasonable
criteria Landlord uses to select tenants; (iii) the purpose for which the
transferee intends to use the Property thereof differs in any way from the
Permitted Use; (iv) any portion of the Property would likely become subject to
additional or different Laws as a result of the Transfer or the intended use of
the Property by the transferee would, in Landlord's reasonable judgement, more
likely cause a violation of Section 4 above; or (v) any other bases which
Landlord reasonably deems appropriate. If Tenant is in Default at the time
Tenant requests Landlord's consent to a proposed Transfer, then Landlord's
consent to such Transfer may be conditioned upon Tenant curing such Default. If
Landlord wrongfully withholds its consent to any Transfer, Tenant's sole and
exclusive remedy therefor shall be to seek specific performance of Landlord's
obligation to consent to such Transfer. In addition, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in
connection with any Transfer, whether or not Landlord consents to such Transfer,
other than those incurred by Landlord in any specific performance action
instituted by Tenant in which Tenant is the Prevailing Party.
(d) Excess Rent. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, then Tenant
shall pay Landlord fifty percent (50%) of all rent and other consideration which
Tenant receives as a result of a Transfer that is in excess of the Base Rent
payable to Landlord for the portion of the Premises and Term covered by the
Transfer. Tenant shall pay Landlord for Landlord's share of any excess within
thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of each such excess consideration.
Tenant may deduct from the excess all reasonable and customary expenses directly
incurred by Tenant and attributable to the Transfer (other than Landlord's
review fee), including brokerage fees, legal fees and construction costs.
(e) Recapture. With respect to any Transfer except only a Transfer
of all or any portion of the north wing of the Building (including the Transfer
described in clause (y) of the first sentence of Section 16(a) above), Landlord
shall have the right to terminate this Lease as to that portion of the Property
covered by such Transfer. Landlord may exercise such right to terminate by
giving notice to Tenant at any time within thirty (30) days after the date on
which Tenant has furnished to Landlord all of the items required under Section
16(c) above. If Landlord exercises such right to terminate, Landlord shall be
entitled to recover possession of, and Tenant shall surrender such portion of
the Property (and, if applicable, with appropriate demising walls erected at
Tenant's expense) on the later of (i) the effective date of the proposed
Transfer, or (ii) sixty (60) days after the date of Landlord's notice of
termination. In the event Landlord exercises such right to terminate, Landlord
shall have the right to enter into a lease with the proposed transferee without
incurring any liability to Tenant on account thereof.
(f) Assignment of Sublease Revenues. Tenant absolutely assigns to
Landlord all of Tenant's right, title and interest in and to all revenues from
each sublease of all or any portion of the Property; provided, however, that
Landlord grants Tenant a license, which shall remain in effect so long as no
Default exists, to collect all such revenues (subject to Tenant's obligation to
deliver certain of such revenues to Landlord under Section 16(d) above). Upon
the occurrence of a Default, Landlord may revoke such license by written notice
to Tenant and may, by written notice to any subtenant of Tenant, demand that
such subtenant pay all such revenues directly to Landlord. In such event Tenant
hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such subtenant to pay such
revenues to Landlord, and further agrees (i) that any such subtenant shall be
obligated and entitled to pay such revenues to Landlord notwithstanding any
contrary contentions or instructions later received from Tenant and (ii) that no
such subtenant shall have any liability to Tenant for any such revenues paid to
Landlord in accordance with the foregoing. Landlord shall not be entitled to use
or enjoy any such revenues except for the purpose of applying such revenues
against unfulfilled obligations of Tenant hereunder, or to reimburse Landlord
for costs incurred as a result of any Default, or to compensate Landlord for
other losses suffered by Landlord as a result of any Default. Any such revenues
remaining in Landlord's possession following the cure of all Defaults and the
reimbursement of all such costs and losses shall be delivered to Tenant. No such
notice to any subtenant or receipt of revenues from any subtenant shall be
deemed to constitute either (y) Landlord's consent to such sublease or (z) the
assumption by Landlord of any obligation of Tenant under such sublease, nor
shall any such notice or receipt create privity of contract between Landlord and
the applicable subtenant or be construed as a nondisturbance or similar
agreement between Landlord and such subtenant.

17. SURRENDER.
(a) Condition at Surrender. Upon the end of the Term or termination
of Tenant's right to possession of the Property, Tenant will at once surrender
and deliver up the Property to Landlord, broom clean, in good order, condition
and repair, ordinary wear and damage by fire or other casualty excepted. As used
herein, "BROOM CLEAN" means free from all debris, dirt, rubbish, oil, grease,
tire tracks, marking tape or other substances, inside the Premises and outside
of the Building.
(b) Removal of Tenant's Property. Upon the end of the Term or
termination of Tenant's right to possession of the Property, Tenant shall remove
all of the Required Removables and all of Tenant's Property (including all
computer and telecommunications cabling and wiring), which removal shall be done
in a good, workmanlike and lien-free manner, and upon such removal Tenant shall
repair all damage to the Premises and the Property caused by the installation or
removal of such items (including the removal of any and all floor bolts) and
restore the Premises and the Property to its condition prior to the installation
of such items. If Tenant does not remove any items comprising Tenant's Property
or the Required Removables prior to the end of the Term, then Landlord may
remove such items and repair and restore the Premises and Tenant shall pay the
cost of such removal, repair and restoration to Landlord upon demand. If Tenant
does not remove any items comprising Tenant's Property or the Required
Removables, then Tenant shall be conclusively presumed to have conveyed such
items to Landlord without further payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant or, at
Landlord's sole option, such items shall be deemed abandoned, in which event
Landlord may cause such items to be stored, removed or disposed of at Tenant's
expense, without notice to Tenant and without obligation to compensate Tenant.
18. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.
(a) Default. The occurrence of each of the following shall
constitute an event of default (a "DEFAULT") by Tenant under this Lease: (i)
Tenant fails to pay any Rent when same is due and such failure continues for
five (5) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant; (ii) Tenant fails to
timely deliver any Estoppel Certificate to Landlord under Section 21 below and
such failure continues for five (5) days after written notice from Landlord to
Tenant; (iii) Tenant fails to timely deliver any Subordination Agreement to
Landlord under Section 22 below and such failure continues for five (5) days
after written notice from Landlord to Tenant; (iv) Tenant fails to timely
surrender and vacate the Property in the manner described in Section 17 above;
(v) Tenant makes any Transfer (other than a Permitted Transfer) without
obtaining Landlord's prior written consent; (vi) Tenant fails to maintain any
insurance required to be maintained by Tenant under Section 12 above and such
failure continues for five (5) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant
containing the details of such failure; (vii) the dissolution of Tenant; or
(viii) Tenant fails to observe or perform any other covenant or obligation of
Tenant under this Lease (which is not referred to in clauses (i) through (vii)
above) and such failure continues for thirty (30) days (or immediately if such
failure involves a hazardous condition) after written notice from Landlord to
Tenant; provided, however, that (A) if such failure cannot reasonably be cured
within said 30-day period, Tenant shall be allowed such additional time (not to
exceed sixty (60) days) as is reasonably necessary to cure such failure, so long
as (1) Tenant commences to cure the failure within ten (10) days, and (2) Tenant
diligently pursues a course of action that will cure the failure and bring
Tenant back into compliance with this Lease, and (3) Tenant provides Landlord
with detailed weekly written status reports of Tenant's progress in curing such
failure throughout the period of such failure; and (B) if Landlord provides
Tenant with a notice of Tenant's failure to observe or perform any particular
term, provision or covenant of this Lease on three (3) separate occasions during
any twelve (12) month period, then Tenant's subsequent failure to observe or
perform such term, provision or covenant shall, at Landlord's option, be an
uncurable event of default by Tenant, in which event Tenant shall have no
further notice and cure period under this clause (viii) with respect to same.
(b) Remedies. Upon any Default, Landlord shall have the right
without further notice or demand to pursue any of its rights and remedies at Law
or in equity, including any one or more of the following remedies:
(i) Terminate this Lease, in which case Tenant shall
immediately surrender the Property to Landlord. If Tenant fails to
surrender the Property, Landlord may, in compliance with applicable Law
and without prejudice to any other right or remedy, enter upon and take
possession of the Property and expel and remove Tenant, Tenant's Property
and all parties occupying all or any part of the Property. Tenant shall
pay Landlord on demand the amount of all past due Rent and other losses
and damages which Landlord may suffer as a result of the Default, whether
by Landlord's inability to relet the Property on
177305.3 050137-31403
6/26/03
Form Retail Lease Agreement 2001.12
-16-
satisfactory terms or otherwise, including, without limitation, all Costs
of Reletting and any deficiency that may arise from reletting or the
failure to relet the Property. "COSTS OF RELETTING" shall mean and include
all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in reletting or attempting to
relet the Property, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees,
brokerage commissions, the cost of alterations and the value of other
concessions or allowances granted to a new tenant.
(ii) Terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Property
and in compliance with applicable Law, expel and remove Tenant, Tenant's
Property and all parties occupying all or any part of the Property.
Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) relet all or any part of the
Property, without notice to Tenant, for a term that may be greater or less
than the balance of the Term and on such conditions (which may include
concessions, free rent and alterations of the Property) and for such uses
as Landlord in its absolute discretion shall determine. Landlord may
collect and receive all rents and other income from the reletting. Tenant
shall pay Landlord on demand all past due Rent, all Costs of Reletting and
any deficiency arising from the reletting or failure to relet the
Property. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for the failure to
relet all or any part of the Property or for the failure to collect any
Rent. The re-entry or taking of possession of the Property shall not be
construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless and
until a written notice of termination is given to Tenant.
In lieu of calculating damages under Sections 18(b)(i) or 18(b)(ii) above,
Landlord may elect to receive as damages the sum of (A) all Rent accrued through
the date of termination of this Lease or Tenant's right to possession, and (B)
an amount equal to the total Rent that Tenant would have been required to pay
for the remainder of the Term discounted to present value at the Prime Rate then
in effect, minus the then present fair rental value of the Premises for the
remainder of the Term, similarly discounted, after deducting all anticipated
Costs of Reletting.
(c) Other Remedies. Landlord may but shall not be obligated to
perform any obligation of Tenant under this Lease, and if Landlord so elects,
all costs and expenses paid by Landlord in performing such obligation, together
with interest at the Default Rate, shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord on
demand. Any and all rights and remedies set forth in this Lease: (i) shall be in
addition to any and all other rights and remedies Landlord may have at Law or in
equity, (ii) shall be cumulative, and (iii) may be pursued successively or
concurrently as Landlord may elect. The exercise of any remedy by Landlord shall
not be deemed an election of remedies or preclude Landlord from exercising any
other remedies in the future.
(d) Waiver of Trial by Jury. Landlord and Tenant waive trial by jury
in the event of any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either
Landlord or Tenant against the other in connection with this Lease.
(e) Attorney's Fees. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for
all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord by reason of any Default (including
reasonable legal fees), whether or not Landlord institutes any legal action or
proceeding against Tenant by reason of such Default. If either Landlord or
Tenant brings an action or proceeding to enforce or defend its rights under this
Lease the Prevailing Party in any such action or proceeding, or appeal thereon,
shall be entitled to receive (and shall be awarded) all of its court costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees. Such costs and fees may be awarded in the same suit
or recovered in a separate suit, whether or not such action or proceeding is
pursued to decision or judgment. As used herein, "PREVAILING PARTY" shall mean
the party who substantially attains or defeats the relief sought, as the case
may be, whether by compromise, settlement, judgment, or the abandonment by the
other party of its claim or defense.
19. HOLDING OVER. If Tenant retains possession of the Property or any part
thereof after the end of the Term or termination of Tenant's right to possession
of the Property (it being agreed that Tenant's failure to timely remove all
Tenant's Property and all the Required Removables from the Property shall also
be considered a retention of the Property by Tenant), then such retention of
possession shall be considered a tenancy "at will" or "sufferance" (and not a
month-to-month tenancy), and Tenant shall pay Rent for such holding over in an
amount equal to the sum of (a) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the monthly
Rent in effect immediately preceding such holding over computed on a monthly
basis for each of the first two (2) months or partial months that Tenant remains
in possession; plus (b) two hundred percent (200%) of the monthly Rent in effect
immediately preceding such holding over computed on a monthly basis for each
month or partial month that Tenant remains in possession after such first two
(2) months or partial months. In addition to the payment of the amounts provided
above, if Landlord is unable to timely deliver possession of the Property to a
third party as a result of Tenant's holdover then Tenant shall be liable to
Landlord for all damages including, but not limited to, consequential damages
that Landlord suffers
177305.3 050137-31403
6/26/03
Form Retail Lease Agreement 2001.12
-17-
from the holdover. In addition, at any time while Tenant remains in possession,
Landlord may elect instead, by written notice to Tenant and not otherwise, to
have such retention of possession constitute an extension of this Lease for one
(1) year at the greater of (1) the fair market rent for the Property as
reasonably determined by Landlord, or (2) one hundred twenty percent (120%) of
the Rent during the previous year. The provisions of this Section do not waive
Landlord's right of re-entry or right to regain possession by actions at Law or
in equity or any other rights hereunder, and any receipt of payment by Landlord
shall not be deemed a consent by Landlord to Tenant's remaining in possession or
be construed as creating or renewing any lease or right of tenancy between
Landlord and Tenant.
20. SECURITY DEPOSIT.
(a) Form. Concurrently with its signing of this Lease, Tenant shall
deposit with Landlord an irrevocable and unconditional letter of credit in a
form approved by Landlord (THE "LETTER OF CREDIT") issued by a bank approved by
Landlord (THE "BANK") in favor of Landlord (and, at Landlord's request, in favor
of Landlord's Mortgagee), in the amount described in the Schedule, as security
for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of all of the terms,
conditions and provisions of this Lease, including without limitation, the
timely surrender of possession of the Premises to Landlord in the condition
required under Section 17 above. The Letter of Credit shall have a term which
expires no sooner than the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days after the
Expiration Date, or Tenant may deliver a one (1) year unconditional and
irrevocable Letter of Credit which by its terms automatically, for the remainder
of the Term, renews for successive one (1) year periods, unless the Bank
provides not less than one hundred eighty (180) days' prior written notice to
Landlord that the Letter of Credit shall not be renewed, in which event Landlord
shall have the right to draw down the entire proceeds of the Letter of Credit
unless Tenant substitutes, not later than the date which is sixty (60) days
prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit, a new Letter of Credit which
meets the requirements of this Section 20. The Letter of Credit shall by its
terms permit partial draws and shall be freely assignable by Landlord without
charge or cost to Landlord. The Letter of Credit together with any and all cash
proceeds drawn thereon and held (but not applied) by Landlord and any other cash
security deposited by Tenant with Landlord hereunder from time to time is
hereinafter collectively called the "SECURITY DEPOSIT".
(b) Application. Upon the occurrence of a Default, Landlord may, at
the option of Landlord (but Landlord shall not be obligated to): (i) make a draw
under the Letter of Credit either in the amount necessary to cure the Default or
in the amount of the entire remaining balance of the Letter of Credit, (ii)
apply the whole or any part of the proceeds so drawn to cure such Default and/or
to compensate Landlord for any damages incurred by Landlord by reason of such
Default, and (iii) hold the remainder of such proceeds so drawn as cash security
for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of all of the terms,
covenants, and conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed and
performed, with the same rights as hereinabove set forth to apply or retain the
same in the event of any further Default by Tenant. If Landlord applies any part
of the proceeds of the Security Deposit, then within five (5) days after demand,
Tenant shall deposit with Landlord in cash the amount so applied so that
Landlord shall have the full Security Deposit on hand at all times during the
Term (and any extension). Landlord shall have all of the same rights with
respect to any cash security hereunder as Landlord has hereunder with respect to
the Letter of Credit, and Tenant shall have the same obligations with respect to
the deposit of additional funds with Landlord if Landlord applies all or any
portion of such cash security as provided above.
(c) General Terms. Unless and to the extent required by applicable
Law, Landlord shall not be required to deposit any cash security in a
segregated, interest bearing account. In the event of a transfer, sale or lease
of Landlord's interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer the Security
Deposit to the transferee, vendee or lessee, and Landlord thereupon shall be
released by Tenant from all liability under this Section 20. Tenant agrees to
look solely to the new landlord for the return of the Security Deposit and it is
agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment
made of the Security Deposit to a new landlord. Tenant further covenants that it
shall not assign or encumber the Security Deposit or any part thereof or
interest therein, and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall
be bound by any such assignment or encumbrance. Landlord shall not be required
to pursue or exhaust any of its other rights or remedies against Tenant before
having recourse to the Security Deposit. Recourse by Landlord to the Security
Deposit shall not affect any other rights or remedies of Landlord which are
provided in this Lease or which are available to Landlord at Law or in equity.
In no event shall the Security Deposit be considered an advance payment of Rent,
and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to use the Security Deposit for the
payment of Rent. If no Default by Tenant then exists, the Security Deposit or
any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant within forty-five (45) days
after the later to occur of (i) the vacation of the Premises by Tenant, and (ii)
the determination by Landlord of any final amounts owed by Tenant pursuant to
this Lease.
177305.3 050137-31403
6/26/03
Form Retail Lease Agreement 2001.12
-18-
21. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Tenant agrees from time to time upon written
request from Landlord, to execute and deliver to Landlord or to any third party
designated by Landlord in such request, a written estoppel certificate (an
"ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE") in the form submitted by Landlord to Tenant, certifying:
(i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have
been modifications, a description of such modifications and that this Lease as
modified is in full force and effect); (ii) the dates to which Rent has been
paid; (iii) that Tenant is in possession of the Premises, if that is the case;
(iv) that Landlord is not in default under this Lease, or, if Tenant believes
Landlord is in default, the nature thereof in detail; (v) that Tenant has no
off-sets or defenses to the performance of its obligations under this Lease (or
if Tenant believes there are any off-sets or defenses, a full and complete
explanation thereof); and (vi) such additional matters as may be reasonably
requested by Landlord, it being agreed that each Estoppel Certificate may be
relied upon by any prospective purchaser, Mortgagee, prospective Mortgagee, or
other person having or acquiring an interest in the Building. Tenant's failure
to execute and deliver any Estoppel Certificate to Landlord (or to any such
designated third party) within ten (10) days after written request from Landlord
shall automatically constitute Tenant's approval of the requested Estoppel
Certificate as though such Estoppel Certificate had been executed and delivered
by Tenant to Landlord or such designated third party in form identical to the
form submitted by Landlord to Tenant.
22. SUBORDINATION. This Lease is and shall be expressly subject and
subordinate at all times to the following (each, a "MORTGAGE"): (a) any ground
or underlying lease of the Property, now or hereafter existing, and all
amendments, renewals and modifications to any such lease; and (b) the lien of
any mortgage or trust deed now or hereafter encumbering fee title to the
Property and/or the leasehold estate under any such lease; provided, that as a
condition to subordinating its rights and interests under this Lease to any
future Mortgage, Tenant shall be entitled to require the Mortgagee to enter into
a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (a "SNDA") with
Tenant, which SNDA shall be in the customary form used by such Mortgagee. If any
such mortgage or trust deed is foreclosed, or if any such lease is terminated,
upon request of the mortgagee, holder or lessor, as the case may be (each, a
"MORTGAGEE"), Tenant will attorn to the purchaser at the foreclosure sale or to
the lessor under such lease, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, any Mortgagee may subordinate, in whole or in part,
its mortgage, trust deed or lease (as the case may be) to this Lease by sending
Tenant notice in writing subordinating such mortgage, trust deed or lease to
this Lease. The foregoing provisions are declared to be self-operative and no
further instruments shall be required to effect such subordination and/or
attornment; provided, however, that Tenant agrees upon request at any time by
any such Mortgagee (or by any purchaser at foreclosure), to execute and deliver
a SNDA to confirm such subordination, non-disturbance and attornment. Tenant's
failure to execute and deliver a SNDA within ten (10) days after written request
from Landlord shall automatically constitute Tenant's acknowledgement and
agreement that this Lease is subordinate (or superior as the case may be) to the
Mortgage identified in the SNDA submitted by Landlord to Tenant. Landlord
represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the date of this Lease, no Mortgage
encumbers the Property.
23. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Within fifteen (15) days after Landlord's
request, Tenant will deliver to Landlord, the most recent audited financial
statements (including all notes to such statements) of Tenant, or, if no such
audited statements have been prepared, then unaudited financial statements
(including all notes to such statements) prepared in each case by an independent
certified public accountant in accordance with GAAP (the "FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS"); provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required to furnish
such financial statements for any period during which Tenant is subject to the
public filing requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and Tenant's financial statements are available on the Internet or otherwise
available to the general public. Landlord will not disclose any aspect of
Financial Statements that Tenant designates to Landlord as confidential except
(a) to any Mortgagee, prospective Mortgagee, or prospective purchaser of the
Building, and (b) if required by court order or subpoena. Tenant represents and
warrants to Landlord that all financial information of Tenant delivered or to be
delivered to Landlord by or on behalf of Tenant is and shall be true and correct
and that no material misstatements or omissions exist therein.
24. NO BROKER. Tenant represents to Landlord that Tenant has not dealt
with any real estate broker in connection with this Lease and that, insofar as
Tenant knows, no broker negotiated this Lease on Tenant's behalf or is entitled
to any commission by reason of its representation of Tenant. Tenant agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold the Landlord Parties harmless from and against any
claims for a fee or commission made by any broker claiming to have acted by or
on behalf of Tenant in connection with this Lease.
25. NOTICES. All notices and demands to be given by one party to the other
party under this Lease shall be given in writing, mailed or delivered to
Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, at the address for such party described
in the Schedule above or at such other address as either party may hereafter
designate. Notices shall be
177305.3 050137-31403
6/26/03
Form Retail Lease Agreement 2001.12
-19-
delivered by hand or by United States certified or registered mail, postage
prepaid, return receipt requested, or by a nationally recognized overnight air
courier service or by a locally recognized courier service. Notices shall be
considered to have been given upon the earlier to occur of actual receipt or two
(2) business days after depositing in the United States mail.
26. MISCELLANEOUS
(a) Successors and Assigns. Subject to Section 16 of this Lease,
each provision of this Lease shall extend to, bind and inure to the benefit of
Landlord and Tenant and their respective legal representatives, successors and
assigns; and all references herein to Landlord and Tenant shall be deemed to
include all such parties.
(b) Entire Agreement. This Lease, and the riders and exhibits, if
any, attached hereto which are hereby made a part of this Lease, represent the
complete agreement between Landlord and Tenant; and Landlord has made no
representations or warranties except as expressly set forth in this Lease. No
modification or amendment of or waiver under this Lease shall be binding upon
Landlord or Tenant unless in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant.
(c) Time. If the date for payment of any sum or the performance of
any obligation under this Lease by either party falls on a Saturday, Sunday or
national holiday, then the date for such payment or performance shall be
extended to 5:00 p.m. on the first business day following such Saturday, Sunday
or national holiday. Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and all of
its provisions, specifically including, without limitation, the payment of Rent
and the exercise of any option or right in favor of Tenant under this Lease.
(d) Execution and Delivery. Submission of this Lease for examination
or signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of space or an option
for lease, and it is not effective until execution and delivery by both Landlord

EXTENSION OPTION RIDER
Tenant shall have one (1) option (the "EXTENSION OPTION") to extend the
Initial Term for all (but not less than all) of the Property for one (1)
additional term of ten (10) years (the "EXTENSION TERM") commencing on November
1, 2018 and expiring on October 31, 2028, subject to the following terms and
conditions:
(a) No Default. This Lease is in full force and effect and Tenant is
neither in Default at the time Tenant exercises the Extension Option nor at the
commencement of the Extension Term, but Landlord shall have the right at its
sole discretion to waive the non-default condition herein.
(b) Base Rent. The Extension Term shall be upon all of the same
terms, covenants and conditions as provided in this Lease, except that (i)
Tenant may not again exercise the Extension Option during the Extension Term so
as to further extend the Initial Term beyond the expiration of the Extension
Term; and (ii) the annual Base Rent per leaseable square foot payable for the
Extension Term shall be a rate (the "MARKET EXTENSION RATE") equal to the then
current annual net rent per leaseable square foot (including all fixed or
indexed increases to said rate) for net-net-net industrial leases of single
tenant properties comparable to the Property and located in the Grand Rapids,
Michigan area, taking into account tenant incentives or inducements, if any,
such as tenant improvement allowances and free rent. If Tenant exercises the
Extension Option, then the parties agree to use their best efforts to agree upon
the Market Extension Rate on or before April 30, 2018. In the event that the
parties have not agreed upon the Market Extension Rate on or before April 30,
2018, then, at the request of either party, the Market Extension Rate shall be
determined by taking the average of the Market Extension Rate as determined by
three (3) separate appraisals of the Property conducted by three (3) separate
qualified MAI appraisers who are experienced in the appraisal of real property
in the area which is comparable in size and use to the Property and who are not
affiliated in any manner with Landlord or Tenant. One appraiser shall be
selected by Landlord (and notice of such appraiser given to Tenant on or before
May 31, 2018) and one appraiser shall be selected by Tenant (and notice of such
appraiser given to Landlord on or before May 31, 2018) and the third appraiser
shall be selected on or before June 30, 2018 by the two appraisers so selected
by the parties. If either party fails to select an appraiser by May 31, 2018,
then the Market Extension Rate shall be the appraised value of the Property as
determined by the sole appraiser timely selected by the other party. The Market
Extension Rate shall also include the amount of annual automatic (i.e. fixed or
indexed) adjustments during the Extension Term.
(c) Condition of Premises. Tenant shall accept the Property on the
commencement date of the Extension Term in an "as-is" condition, without any
representation, allowance or retrofit from Landlord with respect to the
condition or improvement thereof.
(d) Exercise of Option. Tenant shall exercise the Extension Option
by giving Landlord a written notice thereof on or before May 1, 2017.
(e) Lease Amendment. The parties shall execute an amendment to this
Lease to reflect Tenant's exercise of the Extension Option upon the terms
provided herein, which amendment shall be executed within thirty (30) days after
Tenant exercises the Extension Option.

EXISTING LEASE RIDER
Reference is made to that certain Industrial/Office Lease dated November
1, 1988, as amended by a First Amendment to Lease, whereby Landlord's
predecessor in title (Greenbrook Limited Partners/Riviera, a Michigan limited
partnership) leased the Property to Tenant for a lease term to expire on October
31, 2009 (said Industrial/Office Lease, as amended, being herein called the
"EXISTING LEASE"). Landlord acquired title to the Property and succeeded to the
interest of the landlord under the Existing Lease. The Existing Lease shall
terminate effective as of October 31, 2003. All Rent owing under the Existing
Lease shall be paid through and apportioned as of October 31, 2003. Neither
Landlord nor Tenant shall have any rights or obligations under the Existing
Lease accruing after October 31, 2003, except only those which are intended to
survive the expiration or earlier termination of the lease term of the Existing
Lease (specifically including, without limitation, Article XII and XXV of the
Existing Lease). Effective as of the full execution of this Lease, Article
XXVIII (Purchase Option) of the Existing Lease is terminated and declared null
and void and of no further force or effect. Tenant shall have no further options
or rights to purchase the Property under the Existing Lease or under any other
contract or agreement, and Tenant waives any and all such existing purchase
rights and options.
