ARTICLE II -- PREMISES
SECTION 1. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases
from Landlord for the term, at the rental and upon the covenants and conditions
set forth herein, the Premises outlined in red on Exhibit B. The Premises,
having the gross leasable area as set forth in Article I, which Landlord and
Tenant hereby conclusively agree represents the gross leasable area of the
Premises for all purposes of this Lease, constitute a part of a shopping
center, commonly known as Xxxxxxx Square Shopping Center, at the Southeast
corner of Hennepin Avenue and Lake Street, in the City of Minneapolis, County
of Hennepin, State of Minnesota. The term "shopping center," as used herein,
shall mean all land, buildings or other improvements owned or leased by
Landlord within the boundaries of the tract indicated on Exhibit A. Landlord
reserves the right to use the exterior walls and the roof of, and the right to
install, maintain, use and repair pipes, ducts, conduits, vents and wires
through, the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to permit other tenants,
utility companies and others to exercise such rights. Landlord and anyone else
exercising such rights shall use reasonable efforts to avoid unreasonable
interference or disturbance of Tenant's decoration or operations within the
selling area of the Premises in connection with such installation.
Notwithstanding the description of the Premises herein or the depiction of the
shopping center on Exhibit B, Landlord may at any time, in its sole discretion,
and with or without monetary gain to it or others, increase, reduce, rearrange
or change the number, dimensions, or locations of the shopping center
buildings, common areas, and parking areas as Landlord shall determine, or
devote the same to other purposes either temporarily or permanently; add
permanent or portable kiosks, carts or other sales facilities; build additional
stories on any building or build adjoining the same; and change store sizes and
the identity and type of other stores or tenancies. No such changes, or any of
them, shall invalidate or affect this Lease nor result in any liability of
Landlord to Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall, on request by either, modify
Exhibit B to reflect any such change(s).
8

SECTION 2. The exhibits hereto set forth the general layout of the
shopping center and may indicate certain existing or proposed store divisions
and the identities and locations of certain tenants, but neither said exhibits
nor anything else shall be deemed to be or contain any warranty, representation
or agreement on the part of the Landlord that any of said matters shall be
exactly as indicated on said exhibits or that any particular merchant shall
open or remain open for business, or as to the identity, type, number or size
of other stores or tenancies in the shopping center.
SECTION 3. If, by reason of casualty, condemnation or a shift in the
location of the Premises, the Premises shall be increased or reduced in size,
then the gross leasable area of the premises shall be measured from the outside
of exterior walls or of those walls facing corridors or stairways or other
common areas and from the mid-point of walls common to adjacent tenant
premises. No deduction shall be made for columns or other structural or
mechanical elements within the Premises. If the Premises includes any
mezzanine, terrace, deck, plaza or outdoor area, all of such area shall be
included in calculating the gross leasable area of the Premises. If any
storage areas are separately leased to Tenant, such areas shall be excluded in
calculating the gross leasable area of the Premises.
SECTION 4. The term "gross leasable area in the shopping center," as
hereinafter used, shall be deemed to mean the total gross leasable area in all
buildings in the shopping center (as initially constructed or as hereinafter
enlarged or reduced) which is from time to time designated by Landlord for
occupancy by tenants of the shopping center, excluding the square footage of
building roofs, common areas (as defined in Article X hereof), outdoor sales
areas, and any storage areas separately used by tenants. All measurements
shall be made in the manner set forth in Section 3 of this Article.
ARTICLE III -- TERM
SECTION 1. The term of this Lease and Xxxxxx's obligation to pay rent
and all other charges shall commence upon that date (hereinafter called the
"Commencement Date") which is the earlier of (a) the Commencement Date
specified in Article I, or (b) the date upon which Tenant shall open the
Premises for business to the public. The term of this Lease shall continue
thereafter for the period specified in Article I. As used in this Lease, the
term "lease year" means a 12 calendar month period beginning on the
Commencement Date if it is the first day of a calendar month and otherwise
beginning on the first day of the first full calendar month following the
Commencement Date. If the Commencement Date is other than the first day of a
calendar month, the period beginning on the Commencement Date and ending on the
last day of the calendar
9
5
month in which the Commencement Date occurs shall be referred to as a "partial
lease year."
SECTION 2. Within seven (7) days following the Commencement Date,
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a signed and completely filled in Tenant's
Estoppel Certificate (in the form of Exhibit "D").
ARTICLE IV -- MINIMUM RENT
SECTION 1. The annual minimum rent payable during the term of this
Lease shall be payable by Tenant in equal monthly installments, on or before
the first day of each month, in advance, at the office of the Landlord or at
such other place designated by Landlord, without prior demand therefore, and
without any deduction or set-off whatsoever. If the Commencement Date shall
occur upon a day other than the first day of a calendar month, Tenant shall
pay, upon the Commencement Date, the minimum rent for the resulting partial
lease year prorated on a per diem basis.
SECTION 2. Tenant waives and disclaims any present or future right to
apply any obligation of Landlord to Tenant, however incurred or created, as a
set-off against or counterclaim in any action for any payment or part payment
of rent owing hereunder (including minimum rent, percentage rent and additional
rents), and agrees that it will not claim or assert such right, set-off or
counterclaim.
ARTICLE V -- PERCENTAGE RENT
SECTION 1. As used in this Lease, the term "fiscal year" means a 12
calendar month period beginning on February 1 and ending on the following
January 31 and the term "partial fiscal year" shall mean a period beginning on
the Commencement Date (if other than February 1) and ending on the following
January 31 or a period beginning on February 1 and ending on the last day of
the term of this Lease (if other than January 31). As used in this Lease the
term "Fiscal Year" shall mean any fiscal year or partial fiscal year during the
term of this Lease. In addition to the payment of the annual minimum rent,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord in the manner, upon the conditions and at the
times hereinafter set forth, during each Fiscal Year during the term hereof, a
sum equivalent to the amount, if any, by which the percentage specified in
Article I hereof of the gross sales, as hereinafter defined, from all business
done in and from the Premises during such Fiscal Year exceeds the minimum rent
(other than that for basement storage space, if any) for such Fiscal Year.
Said percentage rent shall be payable as hereinafter provided, at the office of
the Landlord or such other place as Landlord may designate, without any prior
demand therefor, and without any set-off or deduction whatsoever.
10
6
Percentage rent shall be due and payable in full thirty (30) days
after the end of each Fiscal Year during the term of this Lease with respect to
gross sales during said Fiscal Year. The first payment of percentage rent
shall be due and payable thirty (30) days after the end of the first Fiscal
Year for which percentage rent is due. After the first such Fiscal Year for
which percentage rental is payable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord with the
monthly minimum rental payment, as estimated percentage rent, one-twelfth
(1/12th) of ninety percent (90%) of the percentage rent paid for the
immediately prior Fiscal Year. If such immediately prior Fiscal Year was a
partial fiscal year, the monthly estimated percentage rent payments shall be
one-twelfth (1/12th) of ninety percent (90%) of the result obtained by dividing
the percentage rent for such immediately preceding partial fiscal year by the
number of days in such partial fiscal year and multiplying the resulting
quotient by 365. If, at the end of any Fiscal Year, the total amount of
estimated percentage rent paid by Tenant exceeds the total amount of percentage
rent required to be paid by Tenant for the said Fiscal Year, Tenant shall
receive a credit equivalent to such excess which shall be credited against the
next payments due hereunder. Any excess estimated percentage rental paid
during the last Fiscal Year of the lease term will be refunded to Tenant as
soon as the amount of such excess is ascertained. If, at the end of any Fiscal
Year, the total amount of estimated percentage rent paid by Tenant is less than
the total amount of percentage rent required to be paid by Xxxxxx for said
Fiscal Year, the balance shall be due and payable in full thirty (30) days
after the end of said Fiscal Year.
SECTION 2. The term "gross sales," as used herein, means the
aggregate dollar amount of all sales of Tenant from business conducted at, upon
or from the Premises, whether such sales be evidenced by check, credit, charge
account, exchange or otherwise, without reserve or deduction for inability or
failure to collect, and shall include, but not be limited to, the amounts
received from the sale of goods, wares, merchandise, beverages and food
(including gift and merchandise certificates) and for services performed on or
at the Premises, together with the amount of all orders taken or received at
the Premises, whether such orders be filled from the Premises or elsewhere, and
whether such sales be made by means of mechanical or other vending devices in
the Premises, and shall include all deposits not refunded to purchasers. If
any one or more departments or other divisions of Tenant's business shall be
sublet by Tenant or conducted by any person, firm or corporation other than
Tenant, (without implying Landlord's consent thereto) then there shall be
included in gross sales all the gross sales of such departments or divisions,
in the same manner and with the same effect as if the business or sales of such
departments and divisions of the Tenant's business had been conducted by Tenant
itself. Gross sales shall also include proceeds of business interruption
insurance or similar insurance payable with respect to covered losses from
business done at or
11
7
from the Premises and proceeds of employee fidelity insurance payable with
respect to covered losses from business done at or from the Premises to the
extent such proceeds represent gross sales not previously reported by the
Tenant. To the extent that any proceeds of business interruption insurance or
similar insurance are paid to Tenant on other than a "gross sales" basis, as
between Landlord and Tenant, the amount of recovery shall be recomputed to
arrive as nearly as possible at the equivalent of gross sales. Gross sales
shall be reduced by the amount of any cash refunds or allowances made on
merchandise claimed to be defective or unsatisfactory, provided that the sales
price of said merchandise shall have been included in gross sales when
originally sold. Gross sales shall not include the amount of any sales, use or
gross receipts tax imposed by any federal, state, municipal or governmental
authority directly on sales and collected from customers, provided that the
amount thereof is added to the selling price or absorbed therein and paid by
Tenant to such governmental authority. No franchise or capital stock tax and
no income or similar tax based upon income or profits as such shall be deducted
from gross sales in any event whatever. Gross sales shall not include
merchandise transferred out of the Premises and transported to another store of
Tenant or an affiliate of Tenant where such exchange of merchandise is made
solely for the convenient operation of the business of Tenant and not for the
purpose of consummating a sale which has theretofore been made at, in, or from
the Premises nor shall gross sales include merchandise returned by Tenant to
shippers or manufacturers. All sales shall be recorded on cash registers
equipped with a transaction number control or recorded on sales checks which
are numerically controlled. There shall be no adjustment to gross sales for
cash shortages.
SECTION 3. Tenant shall keep in the Premises or some other location
mutually agreed on by Landlord and Tenant a permanent accurate set of books and
records of all sales of merchandise and all revenue derived from business
conducted in the Premises during each day of the term hereof, and all
supporting records, including excise tax reports and state sales tax, business
and occupation tax and gross income tax reports and all original sales records,
cash register ribbons and sales slips or sales checks and any other pertinent
original sales records; and such pertinent records will be kept, retained and
preserved for at least three (3) years after the expiration of each Fiscal Year
or until the completion of any litigation in which they are relevant, whichever
is later. All such records, including sales tax reports, state gross income tax
reports, business and occupation tax reports and excise tax reports, shall be
open to inspection of Landlord and its agents at all reasonable times during
ordinary business hours.
SECTION 4. The acceptance by Landlord of payments of percentage rent
shall be without prejudice to the Landlord's right to an examination of the
Tenant's books and records of its gross sales and inventories of merchandise at
the Premises in order to
12
8
verify the amount of annual gross sales received by the Tenant. Landlord may,
at any reasonable time, cause a complete audit to be made of Tenant's entire
business affairs and records relating to the Premises for the period covered by
any statement issued by the Tenant as hereinafter set forth. Such audit shall
be conducted at the location where the books and records relative thereto are
kept as above provided. If such audit shall disclose a liability for
percentage rent to the extent of two percent (2%) or more in excess of the
percentage rentals theretofore computed and paid by Tenant for such period,
Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord the cost of said audit in addition to the
deficiency, which deficiency shall be payable in any event, and in addition,
Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease upon five (5) days notice to
Tenant. Any information obtained by the Landlord as a result of such audit
shall be held in strict confidence by Landlord except in any litigation or
arbitration proceedings between the parties and except further, that Landlord
may disclose such information to its mortgagees and to prospective buyers and
lenders.
ARTICLE VI - SALES REPORTS
On or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month to and
including the calendar month following the termination of the term of this
Lease, Tenant shall prepare and deliver to Landlord at the place where rent is
payable a monthly statement of gross sales during the preceding calendar month
verified by the affidavit of Tenant. On or before the thirtieth (30th) day
after the end of each Fiscal Year, Tenant shall prepare and deliver to Landlord
at the place where rent is payable a yearly statement of gross sales prepared
and certified by a certified public accountant as being full, true, and correct
and as having been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied, such statement to be delivered whether or not
percentage rent is payable.
ARTICLE VII -- ADDITIONAL RENT
SECTION 1. In addition to the minimum rent and percentage rent, all
other payments required of Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease
shall be deemed, for the purpose of securing the collection thereof, to be
additional rent due hereunder whether or not the same be designated as such,
including, but not limited to, payments for Utilities (XIII), Common Areas (X),
Taxes (XIV), Insurance (XVII) and Advertising and Promotion (XV). Landlord
shall have the same rights and remedies upon Xxxxxx's failure to pay the same
as for non-payment of the minimum rent, and shall have such rights upon
Tenant's failure to pay percentage rent or estimate thereof as well. All such
payments of additional rent shall, unless otherwise provided, be paid in
monthly installments with the minimum rent payments (and estimated percentage
rent, if any). The monthly payments shall be based, in each case, on
Landlord's reasonable estimate of such costs made at
13
9
the beginning of each Fiscal Year; the payments for any partial month shall be
pro-rated. If, at the end of any Fiscal Year, the amount paid by Xxxxxx is
less than its share, the balance, as shown on Landlord's statement, shall be
paid on or before the first day of the following month, and if the amount paid
by Xxxxxx is greater than its share, the excess, as shown on said statement,
shall be credited against the next payments (whether of rent or otherwise) due
hereunder. All provisions dealing with abatement of rent are to be construed
to refer to abatement of minimum rent only, and not abatement of any other
payment required hereunder.
SECTION 2. If Tenant shall fail to pay any rent within five (5) days
after the due date, Tenant shall be obligated to pay a late payment charge
equal to the greater of Fifty and no/l00 Dollars ($50.00) or five percent (5%)
of any rent payment not paid when due to reimburse Landlord for its additional
administrative costs. In addition, all rent and other payments required of
Tenant under the provisions of this Lease shall bear interest commencing five
(5) days after the due date of each payment and continuing until the date
actually paid by Xxxxxx, at a rate equal to three (3) percentage points over
the prime rate published by Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A., at the time the
payment was due or the maximum rate permissible by law, whichever is less.
ARTICLE VIII
CONSTRUCTION AND PREPARATION OF LEASED PREMISES
SECTION 1. Tenant agrees, that any remodeling of the interior and
exterior of the Premises shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense and be in
accordance with plans and specifications approved by Landlord. Plans and
specifications for improvements shall be submitted for approval promptly after
execution of the Lease, and shall meet the requirements for "Tenants Work" set
forth in "Exhibit C." Tenant shall complete said work, complete installation
of fixtures and equip the Premises for Xxxxxx's occupancy prior to the
Commencement Date. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, Tenant is
taking the Premises "AS IS" and Landlord is under no obligation to make any
structural or other alterations, decoration, additions or improvements in or to
the Premises. By entering the Premises and commencing work, Tenant shall be
deemed to have inspected the Premises and to have accepted same.
SECTION 2. Xxxxxx agrees that all workers of Tenant or any of
Tenant's contractors or subcontractors entering upon the Premises for
performance of Tenant's Work or for any subsequent repairs or alterations will
be union workers.
ARTICLE IX - USE OF PREMISES
SECTION 1. The Premises may be used and occupied by Tenant under
Xxxxxx's trade name solely for the retail sale of merchandise
14
10
falling within the classifications specified in Article I hereof. Tenant shall
not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purpose or purposes or
under any other trade name without the prior written consent of Landlord.
Tenant shall not sell, offer to sell, or display any item or items of
merchandise not within such classifications. Tenant shall at all times operate
in and promote the Premises as a first quality retail establishment in
accordance with the standards of the shopping center as established by
Landlord. In no event shall Tenant in any manner operate in or promote the
Premises as a "discount," "off-price," "below market" or similar retailer. The
foregoing provision shall not prohibit Tenant from conducting periodic
promotional, seasonal or clearance sales of limited duration in the Premises.
Tenant agrees to utilize the entire Premises, fully stocked and adequately
staffed, during the entire term of this Lease and any renewal thereof, and to
conduct its business at all times in good faith, in a high grade and reputable
manner, and in such manner as will produce the maximum amount of rent from the
Premises. Tenant shall promptly comply with all laws, ordinances,
governmental orders and regulations, and insurance company requirements
affecting the Premises and the cleanliness, safety, use and occupation thereof.
Tenant shall stock in the Premises only such merchandise as Tenant intends to
offer for sale at retail in the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that it is
Xxxxxxxx's intent that the shopping center be operated in a manner which is
consistent with the highest standards of decency and morals prevailing in the
community which it serves. Toward that end, Xxxxxx agrees that it will not
sell, distribute, display or offer for sale any item which, or conduct its
business in any manner which, in Landlord's good faith judgment is inconsistent
with the quality of operation of the shopping center or may tend to injure or
detract from the moral character or image of the shopping center within such
community. Without limiting the general prohibition against other uses, it is
expressly agreed that Tenant will not use the Premises for the sale of liquor,
prescription drugs, groceries or food items (except as hereinbefore
specifically permitted), pornographic materials, drug-related paraphernalia or
any illegal activity.
SECTION 2. No provision of this Lease is intended to grant an
exclusive right to conduct a particular business, sell any particular
merchandise or offer any particular service within the shopping center.
SECTION 3. The Premises shall be used only for business and commercial
purposes, and no industrial, manufacturing, packaging, or processing activities
shall be conducted therein. Tenant shall not use the Premises for any purpose
which increases the rate of premium on or invalidates any policy of insurance

ARTICLE X
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PARKING RAMP AND OTHER COMMON AREAS
SECTION 1. As used in this Lease, the term "common areas" shall mean
all of the shopping center improvements except that area which is leased or
held for lease to tenants, and shall include but shall not be limited to,
access roads, walkways, driveways, sidewalks, parking areas, loading docks and
areas, package pick-up stations, courts, ramps, elevators, escalators,
landscaped and planting areas, stairways, roof, water, sewer and other utility
pipes and conduits serving the shopping center, comfort stations and all other
areas and improvements which may be provided from time to time by Landlord for
the general use in common of the tenants or customers.
SECTION 2. Landlord shall have the right to restrict employees
generally from parking areas in the parking ramp designated exclusively for
customers or others, to enforce parking charges, and to discourage non-customer
parking. Upon reasonable request by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish a complete
list of the names of the Tenant's employees at the Premises who have
16
12
automobiles and of the state license numbers of their automobiles,
respectively, and the state license number of all motor vehicles operated by
Tenant. Revenues derived from the parking ramp shall be applied to offset the
expenses of management, operation and maintenance thereof. If said revenues
exceed said expenses, the net revenue shall belong to Landlord.
SECTION 3. Landlord shall manage, operate and maintain the parking
ramp and all other common areas and facilities within the shopping center. The
manner in which such common areas and facilities shall be managed, operated and
maintained and the expenditures therefor shall be at the sole discretion of
Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to use the common areas for displays,
promotions, programs, games, and other uses which may be of interest to all or
part of the general public. Any fees or charges derived from such uses of the
common areas (other than parking) shall be added to the promotional Fund to
defray the cost of the event from which such fees were derived or other events
or promotions.
All common areas and facilities not within the Premises which Tenant
may be permitted to use and occupy, are to be used and occupied under a
revocable license, and if the amount of such areas be diminished, Landlord
shall not be subject to any liability nor shall Tenant be entitled to any
compensation or diminution or abatement of rent, nor shall such diminution of
such areas be deemed constructive or actual eviction.
SECTION 4. Tenant agrees to pay, as additional rent, a sum equal to
Xxxxxx's proportionate share of all costs and expenses of every kind and
nature, whether foreseen or unforeseen, paid or incurred by Landlord in
managing, operating and maintaining the shopping center and Tenant's
proportionate share of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord for
the joint benefit of all tenants, including, but not limited to personal
property or use taxes; fees for permits or licenses; landscaping, gardening and
planting; cleaning; painting (including line painting); decorating; paving;
lighting; sanitary control; policing, security guards and patrols; music and

federal, state or local environmental or energy standards; fire protection;
water and sewage and other utility charges; the cost of all types of insurance
carried by Landlord covering the shopping center, including, without
limitation, public liability including liability for false arrest, property
damage, automobile coverage, fire and extended coverage, vandalism and
malicious mischief and all broad form coverage, insurance for costs of repair
and replacement of walls, roofs and other structural components, fidelity bonds
on employees, worker's compensation, rent loss,
17
13
plate glass, signs and any other insurance; all costs borne by Landlord which,
though of a nature insured against under insurance policies maintained by
Landlord, are not covered by said policies due to "deductible" provisions
therein; all costs and expenses of maintaining, repairing and replacing paving,
curbs, sidewalks, walkways, roadways, parking surfaces, landscaping, drainage,
lighting and all utility systems other than those exclusively serving a single
leased Premises (including utility lines, pipes, and conduits serving the
center generally), maintenance and depreciation of all heating, ventilating and
air conditioning equipment serving the common areas and the cost of maintaining
and repairing the same; depreciation of and/or rental charges for machinery and
equipment used in maintaining and operating the common areas; all salaries and
compensation of on site personnel connected with such operation, maintenance
and management; to the total of which costs and expenses shall be added an
amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) thereof in payment of all administrative
costs of Landlord in relation thereto. Landlord may cause any or all of said
services to be provided by an independent contractor or contractors, the cost
of which shall likewise be treated as a common expense.
Tenant's proportionate share of such costs shall be a fraction, the
numerator of which is the gross leasable area of the Premises as specified in
Article I or as redetermined pursuant to Article II and the denominator of
which is the gross leasable area of the shopping center.
ARTICLE XI -- REPAIRS
SECTION 1. Landlord shall maintain the foundations, exterior walls
(except plate glass or other breakable material used in structural portions)
and roof of the shopping center in good repair, ordinary wear and tear
excepted. Except for costs of routine maintenance and repair, any costs of
such maintenance and repairs which is not covered by insurance shall be borne
by Landlord. If the need for any such repair is directly or indirectly
attributable to or results from the business activity being conducted within
the Premises or becomes necessary by reason of the negligence of Tenant, its
agents, servants, employees, or anyone else for whose acts Tenant is
responsible or by reason of anyone illegally entering in or upon the Premises,
and if such repair is caused by a risk which cannot be covered by standard fire
and extended coverage insurance and is not covered by other insurance, Tenant
agrees to reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord
with respect to any such repair. Landlord shall commence repairs it is required
to perform as soon as, reasonably practicable after receiving written notice
from Tenant of the necessity for such repairs. Landlord shall not be obligated
to make repairs, replacements or improvements of any kind to the Premises, or
any equipment, facilities or fixtures contained
18
14
therein or appurtenant thereto, even if such equipment, facilities, or fixtures
are located outside the Premises.
SECTION 2. Tenant, at its own expense, shall maintain the Premises at
all times in good order, condition and repair of equal quality with the
original work, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and in a clean, sanitary and
safe condition in accordance with all applicable laws, ordinances and
regulations; including, without limitation, all plumbing, sewage, ventilating
and electrical systems exclusively serving the Premises, doors, windows, floors
and floor coverings, interior walls and all interior painting and decorating,
and all equipment, facilities, fixtures and appurtenances. Tenant shall permit
no waste, damage, or injury to the Premises. If Tenant refuses or neglects to
commence necessary repairs within a reasonable period (no longer than five (5)
consecutive days) after written request, or does not adequately complete such
repairs within a reasonable time thereafter, Landlord may make the repairs
without liability to Tenant for any loss or damage that may occur to Tenant's
stock or business by reason thereof, and if Landlord makes such repairs, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, on demand, the costs thereof.
SECTION 3. Tenant shall replace forthwith, at its own cost and
expense, any cracked or broken glass with glass of the same quality, including
plate glass or glass or other breakable materials used in structural portions,
and in any interior and exterior windows and doors in the Premises.
ARTICLE XII - INSTALLATIONS, ALTERATIONS AND SIGNS
SECTION 1. Tenant shall not erect or install any exterior or interior
window, door, floor, or hanging signs, advertising media or window or door
lettering or placards or other signs without Landlord's written consent.
SECTION 2. Tenant shall not make any repairs, alterations or
additions to the interior or exterior of Premises or make any contract therefor
without first procuring Landlord's written consent and delivering to Landlord
the plans and specifications and copies of the proposed contracts and necessary
permits, and shall furnish such indemnification against liens, costs, damages
and expenses and such insurance and other assurances as may be required by
Landlord. All permanent alterations, additions, improvements and fixtures,
other than trade fixtures, which may be made or installed by either of the
parties hereto upon the Premises shall, at the termination of this Lease become
the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the
Premises as a part thereof, without damage or injury and without compensation
or credit to Tenant, unless Landlord, at its option, requires the removal of
any such alterations, additions, improvements or fixtures as provided in
Article XXVI, Section 3 hereof. All non-permanent alterations, additions,
improvements and fixtures which may be made or installed
19
15
by Tenant upon the Premises shall remain at all times the property of the
Tenant and shall be removed by Tenant upon termination of this Lease. At the
time Tenant applies for Xxxxxxxx's written consent to any alterations,
additions, improvements and fixtures, Landlord shall determine, in its
reasonable discretion, which are to be deemed permanent and which are
non-permanent for purposes hereof.
SECTION 3. Tenant covenants not to suffer any mechanic's lien to be
filed against the Premises or the shopping center by reason of any work, labor,
services or materials performed at or furnished to the Premises, to Tenant, or
to anyone holding the Premises through or under Tenant. If such mechanic's
lien shall at any time be filed, Tenant shall forthwith cause the same to be
discharged of record by payment, bond, order of a court of competent
jurisdiction or otherwise, but Tenant shall have the right to contest any and
all such liens. If Tenant shall fail to cause such lien to be discharged
within thirty (30) days after being notified of the filing thereof and before
judgment or sale thereunder, then, in addition to any other right or remedy
Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same by paying the
amount claimed to be due or by bonding or other proceeding deemed appropriate
by Landlord, and the amount so paid by Landlord and/or all costs and expenses
incurred by the Landlord in procuring the discharge of such lien, including
reasonable attorney's fees, shall be deemed to be additional rent for the
Premises and shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord on demand. Nothing
contained in this Lease shall be construed as a consent on the part of Landlord
to subject Landlord's estate in the Premises or any portion of the shopping
center to any lien or liability under the lien laws of the State of Minnesota.
ARTICLE XIII - UTILITIES
SECTION 1. Tenant shall pay for all heating, air conditioning,
electricity, gas, water and sewer charges, waste removal and other services
used in the Premises. Tenant shall pay for all such services from the time it
has access to the Premises pursuant to the terms of Exhibit C hereof. In the
event that heating, air conditioning or other services such as, but not
necessarily limited to, electricity, water, or trash and/or garbage compaction
and/or removal are provided to the Premises from a system also serving other
Premises in the shopping center, Tenant shall pay its share of operating,
maintaining and depreciation of such system as billed monthly by Landlord.
Tenant's share of such costs shall be the sum bearing the same relationship to
said costs as the gross leasable area of the Premises bears to the gross
leasable area of all of the Premises served by the system, or at Landlord's
sole option, Xxxxxx's monthly share for any or all such services may be
determined by a study and opinion expressed by a professional engineer or other
consultant selected by Landlord. Such study shall determine the amount to be
billed to each tenant based upon
20
16
usage estimates for each tenant and any other factors deemed relevant to
equitably apportioning the usage of the services and shall be billed at the
rates established by the supplier of such services for Tenant's usage. Such
computation may be changed from time to time during the term of the Lease as
Tenant's or other tenants' loads may change.
SECTION 2. Tenant shall keep any air conditioning and heating systems
under its control operating during business hours at levels sufficient to
satisfy the requirements of the Premises.
SECTION 3. Landlord shall not be liable in damages or otherwise if
the furnishing by Landlord or by any other supplier of any utility or other
service to the Premises shall be interrupted or impaired by fire, accident,
riot, strike, act of God, the making of repairs or improvements or by any
causes beyond Landlord's control, nor shall it constitute a constructive or
actual eviction nor cause abatement of minimum, percentage or additional rents.
ARTICLE XIV - TAXES
SECTION 1. During each calendar year during any part of which the term
of this Lease is in effect, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant's share of all
taxes coming due and payable with respect to the land, buildings and
improvements comprising the shopping center. In addition, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord Tenant's share of annual installments of special assessments coming
due and payable with respect to the land, buildings and improvements comprising
the shopping center during each calendar year during any part of which the term
of this Lease is in effect. Tenant's share of such taxes and annual
installments of special assessments (including interest) shall be a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be the gross leasable area of the Premises as
specified in Article I or as redetermined pursuant to Article II and the
denominator of which shall be the gross leasable area of the shopping center,
excluding any portions separately taxed or assessed and for which such taxes
and special assessments (including interest) are directly allocated to the
tenants thereof. For the calendar years in which this Lease commences or
terminates, Tenant's liability for the amounts payable pursuant to this
paragraph shall be subject to a pro rata adjustment based upon the number of
days of said calendar year during which the term of this Lease is in effect.
Tenant shall pay the amounts payable pursuant to the preceding
paragraph in equal monthly installments due on the first (1st) day of each
month during each calendar year during the term of this Lease. Until the exact
amount payable during any calendar year is known, the monthly installments
shall be based on Landlord's estimate. As soon as is reasonably practicable
after the commencement of each calendar year during the term of the Lease,
Landlord will furnish to Tenant a statement showing the computation
21
17
of the exact amount payable during said year. The monthly installments due
thereafter shall be in such amount as is required so that the amount payable
will be fully paid in equal installments over the remaining portion of said
calendar year. Xxxxxxxx's and Xxxxxx's obligations under this Article shall
survive the expiration of this Lease.
In the event Landlord is required under any mortgage covering the
shopping center to escrow taxes and annual installments of special assessments,
Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, use the amount required to be so
escrowed as a basis for determining the amount of the monthly installments due
from Tenant hereunder.
SECTION 2. Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord for rental taxes, if
any, paid by Landlord on rentals from the Premises.
SECTION 3. Tenant shall pay all personal property and other taxes on
its property in the Premises.
SECTION 4. All costs and expenses incurred by Xxxxxxxx, including
attorney's fees, in contesting the amount of any taxes or special assessments
shall be a common area expense for the purpose of Article X, Section 4 hereof.
ARTICLE XV - ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION
SECTION 1. Landlord shall establish a Promotional Fund for the
shopping center. The uses of the Promotional Fund shall include, but will not
necessarily be limited to, special and seasonal events, shows, displays, signs,
decor packages, community relations efforts, advertising, promotional
literature, research, tenant education and motivation and other activities
designed to attract customers to the shopping center and the hiring of a
promotional director if deemed appropriate or necessary by Landlord. Landlord
shall have the exclusive management, direction and control of all advertising,
promotion and public relations for the shopping center, including without
limitation, expenditures from the Promotional Fund. Landlord shall provide to
all tenants, at least once a year, a statement of the Promotional Fund
expenditures. Tenant may, at Xxxxxx's cost, examine Xxxxxxxx's books and
records relating to the Promotional Fund. Such examination shall be made
during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to Landlord.
Landlord shall not be obligated to incur any expenses for the promotion of the
shopping center unless and until funds for the payment thereof are available in
the Promotional Fund.
As Tenant's contribution toward the advertising, promotion, public
relations and administrative expenses relating to the promotion of the shopping
center, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the lesser of $1.50 per
square foot of gross leasable area of the Premises, adjusted as provided below,
or one
22
18
percent (1%) of Tenant's "sales Breakpoint" as set forth in Item 9 of the Data
Sheet for each lease year or partial lease year of the lease term, which sum
will be payable in equal monthly installments in advance on the first day of
each calendar month of the lease term. Should one percent (1%) of Tenant's
gross sales, as required to be reported following the end of each lease year or
partial lease year pursuant to Article VI, above, be more than the total
contribution to the Promotional Fund required by the above provisions of this
section for such lease year or partial lease year, then Tenant will pay to
Landlord, as additional rent an additional contribution sufficient to make
Xxxxxx's total contributions to the Promotional Fund pursuant to this section 1
during such lease year or partial lease year equal to one percent (1%) of
Tenant's gross sales during such lease year or partial lease year, which
payment will accompany the statement of gross sales referred to above. In no
event, however, shall Xxxxxx's contribution for any lease year exceed $1.50 per
square foot of gross leasable area of the Premises, adjusted as provided
herein. For each lease year commencing after December 31, 1989, Xxxxxx's
contribution per square foot of gross leasable area of the Premises shall not
exceed the amount derived by multiplying $1.50 by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the "price index" (as defined in Article XXXIV, Section 15) for
January of the calendar year during which such lease year begins, and the
denominator of which is the price index for January, 1989. The failure of any
other tenant to contribute to the Promotional Fund will not affect Tenant's
obligations hereunder.
SECTION 2. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall spend the
amount set forth in Item 10 of the Data Sheet on advertising and promotion of
the opening of its business in the Premises within sixty (60) days of the
Commencement Date. The media and method of such advertising and promotion
shall be as determined by Tenant, but must in any event be in conformity with
the standards in the Tenant Advertising Criteria rules established by Landlord
pursuant to Article XXXII. Tenant shall provide Landlord with an accounting of
Tenant's expenditures pursuant to this section 2, prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, within ninety (90) days of the
Commencement Date. If such accounting shall indicate that Tenant has expended
less than the amount required to be expended by this section 2, then Tenant
shall pay Landlord for deposit into the Promotional Fund, on demand, the amount
of the deficiency. In lieu of the foregoing, Tenant may elect, by notice to
Landlord given not later than the Commencement Date, to pay to Landlord the sum
set forth in Item 10 of the Data Sheet, to be used in a manner determined in
the sole discretion of Landlord, to advertise and promote the opening of
Tenant's business in the shopping center. Said sum shall be paid to Landlord
not later than the Commencement Date.
SECTION 3. In addition, Xxxxxx agrees that during each lease year or
partial lease year it will spend on advertising and
23
19
promotion of its business in the Premises an amount at least equal to one
percent (1%) of its gross sales during said lease year or partial lease year.
The media and method of such advertising and promotion shall be of Tenant's own
choosing but in any event must be in conformity with the standards in the
Tenant advertising Criteria rules established by Landlord pursuant to Article
XXXII. Tenant shall provide Landlord an accounting of such expenditures
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and such
shall be made part of Tenant's annual report of gross sales furnished pursuant
to Article VI. If such accounting shall indicate that Tenant has expended less
than the amount required to be expended by this Section 3, then Tenant shall
pay to Landlord at the time the annual statement of gross sales is required to
be delivered, for deposit into the Promotional Fund, the amount of the
deficiency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Xxxxxx's expenditures for
advertising and promotion pursuant to this section 3 in the third and
succeeding lease years shall not be less than the amount required to be
expended by Tenant in the second lease year.
Amounts payable by Tenant pursuant to sections 1 and 2 of this Article
XV shall not be deemed to be amounts expended for advertising within the
meaning of this Section 3, but all expenditures made by Tenant for advertising
in connection with Tenant's other stores, if any, within a fifteen (15) mile
radius from the nearest perimeter boundary of the shopping center (provided
such advertising in each instance included the name of the shopping center and
its logo and encompassed or was distributed in the trade area of the shopping
center) may be applied to Tenant's obligation for that lease year or partial
lease year pursuant to this Section 3.
SECTION 4. In lieu and instead of the Promotional Fund, Landlord
shall have the right and option to form a Merchants Association; and in such
case, Tenant shall become a member of the Merchants Association (as soon as the
same has been formed) and Xxxxxx agrees to remain a member in good standing of
said Association and Landlord agrees to promptly pay to said Association
Xxxxxx's promotional contribution as and when actually paid to Landlord by
Tenant.
SECTION 5. The shopping center name is subject to change by Landlord.
Tenant agrees to refer to the shopping center by name in designating the
location of the Premises in all newspaper or other advertising, stationery,
other printed material and all other references to the location of the
Premises, and to include the address and identity of its business activity in
the Premises in all advertisements made by Tenant in which the address and
identity of any other local business activity of like character conducted by
Tenant shall be mentioned.
24
20
SECTION 6. Except as provided in section 5 above, Tenant shall not
use as part of its name or style, or publish, advertise or use in any
solicitation or otherwise the name "Xxxxxxx Square" or the words "Xxxxxxx
Square" or any logo thereof without the prior written approval by Landlord of
the time, place and manner of such publication or use. Xxxxxx further agrees
that after the date of termination of this lease, it will not, nor will any
person, firm or corporation which controls or is controlled by Tenant, operate
under or use in any manner any name which includes the name "Xxxxxxx Square" or
any logo thereof. The prohibitions in this section shall apply as well to any
future name for the shopping center which may be selected by Landlord.
ARTICLE XVI - INDEMNITY
SECTION 1. Tenant agrees to defend, pay, indemnify and save harmless
Landlord (and/or any fee owner or ground or underlying lessor of the shopping
center or any part thereof) from and against any and all claims, demands,
suits, actions, proceedings, orders, decrees, judgments and damages of every
kind and nature, and from and against all costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of or on account of any occurrence in,
upon, at or from the Premises, or occasioned wholly or in part through the use
and occupancy of the Premises or any improvements therein or appurtenances
thereto, or from the conduct of or management of the business conducted by
Tenant in the Premises, or from any breach or default on the part of Tenant in
the performance of any covenant or agreement on the part of Tenant to be
performed pursuant to the terms of this Lease, or from any act or omission or
negligence of Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, sublessees,
concessionaires or licensees, or others for whose acts Tenant is responsible in
or about the Premises, or its appurtenances or any common areas of the shopping
center. In case of any action or proceeding brought against Landlord by reason
of any such claim, upon notice from Landlord, Tenant covenants to defend such
action or proceeding by counsel satisfactory to Landlord.
SECTION 2. Tenant and all those claiming by, through or under Tenant
shall keep their property in and shall occupy and use the Premises and any
improvements therein and appurtenances thereto and all portions of the shopping
center solely at their own risk; Tenant and all those claiming through Tenant
hereby release Landlord, to the full extent permitted by law, from all claims
of every kind, including loss of life, personal or bodily injury, damage to
merchandise, equipment, fixtures or other property or damage to business or for
business interruption, arising, directly or indirectly, out of or on account of
such occupancy and use or resulting from any present or future condition or the
state of repair thereof. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for
damages at any time to Tenant, or to those claiming through Tenant, for any
loss of life, bodily or personal injury, damage to property or business, or for
business interruption that may be occasioned by
25
21
the acts, omissions or negligence of any other persons, or any other tenants or
occupants of the shopping center. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable
for damages at any time for any defects, latent or otherwise, in any buildings
or improvements in the shopping center or any of the equipment, machinery,
utilities, appliances or apparatus therein, nor shall Landlord be responsible
or liable for damages at any time for loss of life, personal or bodily injury
or damage to any property or business of Tenant or those claiming through
Tenant, caused by or resulting from the bursting, breaking, leaking, running,
seeping, overflowing or backing up of water, steam, gas, sewage, snow or ice in
any part of the Premises, or caused by or resulting from acts of God or the
elements, or resulting from any defect or negligence in the occupancy,
construction, operation or use of any buildings or improvements in the shopping
center, including the Leased Premises or any of the equipment, fixtures,
machinery, appliances or apparatus therein. Tenant expressly acknowledges that
all of the foregoing provisions of this Article shall apply and become
effective from and after the date Landlord shall deliver possession of the
Premises to Tenant for installation of Tenant's improvements or otherwise.
ARTICLE XVII - INSURANCE
SECTION 1. Landlord shall procure such fire insurance and extended
coverage, sprinkler leakage insurance, rent loss insurance, structural repair
and maintenance insurance and other insurance Landlord may deem advisable or as
required by Landlord's mortgagee on all improvements constructed by Landlord
provided, however, that Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Tenant's share of
the premiums for all such insurance. Tenant's share of such costs shall be
based on the ratio the gross leasable area of the Premises bears to the gross
leasable area in the shopping center (or such lesser amount of the gross
leasable area in the shopping center as may be covered by such insurance).
Landlord may, at its option, bill the portion of the insurance cost
attributable to the common areas together with other common area expenses,
pursuant to Article X hereof. In the event of damage to or destruction of the
shopping center or any part thereof due to risks which can be insured by
standard fire and extended coverage insurance or are covered by other insurance
maintained by Landlord, all claims of Landlord against Tenant, its agents,
employees or servants for any such damage or destruction, whether or not caused
by the negligence of anyone, are hereby waived by Landlord.
SECTION 2. Xxxxxx agrees to secure and keep in force from and after
the date Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant and
throughout the Lease Term, at Xxxxxx's own cost and expense:
a. Comprehensive or Commercial General Public Liability

22
injury and property damage basis with a minimum limit of
liability in an amount of Two Million Dollars
($2,000,000), or such greater amount as may be required
by Landlord from time to time, including water damage
and sprinkler leakage legal liability; which insurance
shall contain a contractual liability endorsement
covering the matters set forth in Article XVI hereof;
b. "All Risk" fire and extended coverage insurance in an
amount adequate to cover the full replacement value of
all of Tenant's leasehold improvements and of any work
done by Landlord at Tenant's expense and of all fixtures
and contents in the Premises in the event of a fire or
other casualty;
x. Xxxxx Form Boiler and Machinery Insurance on all air
conditioning equipment, boilers and other pressure
vessels or systems, whether fired or unfired, installed
by or for the use of Tenant in, adjoining, above or
beneath the Premises; and if said objects and the damage
that may be caused by or result from them are not
covered by Tenant's all risk insurance mentioned in
subdivision b of this Section, such Boiler and Machinery
Insurance shall be in amounts specified by Landlord from
time to time.
d. Plate Glass Insurance covering all plate glass in the
Premises;
e. Such additional insurance during construction as is
required by Exhibit "C" of this Lease.
The insurance coverages set forth in this Section shall apply only to
Tenant's operations in the shopping center and separate additional coverage
shall be procured for Tenant's other locations, if any.
SECTION 3. All policies of insurance procured by Tenant shall:
a. Be issued by insurance companies reasonably acceptable
to Landlord;
b. Be written as primary policies not contributing with and
not in excess of coverage that Landlord may carry;
c. All Comprehensive General Liability Insurance procured
by Tenant under this section shall be issued for the
benefit of Landlord and Tenant and,

23
at Landlord's request, its mortgagee(s) and
ground lessor(s), as their respective interests may
appear;
d. Contain endorsements providing as follows: (i)
that such insurance may not be materially changed,
amended, canceled or allowed to lapse with respect to
Landlord except after twenty (20) days' prior written
notice from the insurance company to Landlord, sent
by registered mail, and (ii) that Tenant be solely
responsible for the payment of all premiums under
such policy and that Landlord shall have no
obligation for the payment thereof notwithstanding
that Landlord is or may be named as an insured.
The original policy or policies, or duly executed certificates for the
same, together with reasonably satisfactory evidence of payment of the premium
thereof shall be delivered to Landlord on or before the day Tenant begins
Tenant's Work under Exhibit "C" and upon renewals of such policies not less
than twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of the term of any such coverage.
The minimum limits of any insurance coverage required herein to be carried by
Tenant shall not limit Tenant's liability under Article XVI hereof.
SECTION 4. All policies procured by either Landlord or Tenant
pursuant to this Article shall contain an endorsement containing an express
waiver of any right of subrogation by the insurance company against Landlord or
Tenant, whichever the case may be (whether named as an insured or not). This
section shall not be construed as a waiver by either Landlord or Tenant of any
rights either may have in the event of a loss exceeding applicable insurance
coverage, said rights being specifically reserved except as they may be
modified by other provisions of this Article or any other Article of this
Lease.
SECTION 5. Tenant shall not carry a stock of goods or do anything in
or about the Premises which will in any way tend to increase insurance rates on
the Premises or the building in which the same are located without Landlord's
prior written consent. If Landlord shall consent to such use, Xxxxxx agrees to
pay as additional rental any increase in insurance premiums resulting from the
business carried on in the Premises by Tenant. Tenant shall, at its own
expense, comply with the requirements of insurance underwriters and insurance
rating bureaus and governmental authorities having jurisdiction.
ARTICLE XVIII - ACCESS TO PREMISES
Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable
hours for the purpose of inspecting the same or making repairs, additions or
alterations thereto or to the building in
28
24
which the same are located, or for the purpose of exhibiting the same to
prospective tenants, purchasers or others. Landlord shall not be liable to
Tenant in any manner for any expense, loss or damage by reason thereof, nor
shall the exercise of such right be deemed an eviction or disturbance of
Tenant's use or possession. If Tenant or Tenant's employees shall not be
personally present to permit an entry into the Premises when an emergency or
casualty occurs, Landlord may enter the same by the use of force or otherwise
without rendering Landlord liable therefor and without in any manner affecting
Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Tenant shall be solely responsible for
the control of access to, and the security of, the Premises and all property
located within the Premises.
ARTICLE XIX - DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY
SECTION 1. In case the building in which the Premises are situated
shall be partially or totally destroyed by fire or other casualty which can be
covered by standard fire and extended coverage insurance or which is covered by
other insurance so as to become partially or totally untenantable, the same
shall be repaired as speedily as possible at the expense of Landlord to the
extent of the insurance proceeds, unless Landlord shall elect not to rebuild as
hereinafter provided, and a just and proportionate part of Tenant's rent shall
be abated until the Premises are so repaired based upon the time and the extent
the Premises are untenantable.
SECTION 2. In case the building in which the Premises are situated,
including common areas, shall be destroyed or so damaged by fire or other
casualty as to render more than fifty percent (50%) thereof untenantable, or in
case of any destruction or damage not covered by Landlord's insurance, Landlord
may, if it so elects, rebuild or restore said building to good condition within
a reasonable time after such destruction or damage or may, at its election, by
notice in writing within ninety (90) days after such destruction or damage,
terminate this Lease. If Landlord elects to rebuild or restore said building,
it shall within said ninety (90) day period, give Tenant notice of its
intention to do so and proceed with the rebuilding and restoration as promptly
as may be reasonable and a just and proportionate part of Tenant's rent shall
be abated until the Premises are repaired, based upon the time and the extent
the Premises are untenantable. In the event that the Premises are totally
destroyed and minimum rent is totally abated for a period of time, the term of
this Lease shall be extended for a period equal to the period of such
abatement.
SECTION 3. In no event in the case of any such destruction shall
Landlord be required to repair or replace Tenant's stock in trade, leasehold
improvements, fixtures, furniture, furnishings or floor coverings and
equipment. Tenant covenants to make such repairs and replacements.
29
25
ARTICLE XX - EMINENT DOMAIN
SECTION 1. If the whole of the Premises shall be taken by any public
authority under the power or threat of eminent domain, then the term of this
Lease shall cease as of the day possession shall be taken by such public
authority, and the rent shall be paid up to that date with a proportionate
refund by Landlord of such rent as shall have been paid in advance.
SECTION 2. In the event more than ten percent (10%) in area of the
land underlying the shopping center shall be so taken, the Landlord shall have
the right to terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice of
termination within thirty (30) days after the taking of possession by such
public authority.
SECTION 3. If less than all but more than twenty-five percent (25%)
of the Premises shall be so taken, Tenant shall have the right either to
terminate this Lease, or subject to Landlord's right of termination as set
forth in Section 2 of this Article, to continue in possession of the remainder
of the Premises upon notice in writing to Landlord of Tenant's intention within
ten (10) days after such taking of possession. In the event Tenant elects to
remain in possession, and Landlord does not so terminate, all of the terms
herein provided shall continue in effect except that the minimum rent shall be
proportionately and equitable abated, based on the amount of the Premises
taken, and Landlord shall make all necessary repairs or alterations to restore
the portion of the Premises remaining to as near its former condition as the
circumstances will permit and to restore the building to the extent necessary
to constitute the remainder a complete architectural unit; provided, however,
that Landlord shall not be required to spend amounts in excess of the
respective amounts received by Landlord for the taking of such part of the
Premises and the building of which it forms a part, and Tenant, at Tenant's
expense, shall make all necessary repairs and alterations to those items listed
as "Tenant's Work" in Exhibit "C" hereto, including but not limited to Tenant's
trade and lighting fixtures, decor, signs and contents.
If less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises shall be taken,
the lease term shall cease on the day of taking only as to the part so taken
(subject to Landlord's right of termination as set forth in Section 2 of this
Article); rent shall be proportionately abated and Landlord shall make
necessary repairs or alterations as described in the previous paragraph.
SECTION 4. All damages awarded for such taking under the power or
threat of eminent domain, whether for the whole or a part of the Premises,
shall be assigned to and be the property of Landlord without any participation
by Xxxxxx, whether such damages shall be awarded as compensation for diminution
in value or taking of the leasehold estate or the fee of the Premises;
provided,
30
26
however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude Tenant
from prosecuting any claim directly against the condemning authority, but not
against Landlord, for the value of or damage to and/or for the cost of removal
of Xxxxxx's trade fixtures and other personal property which under the terms of
this Lease would remain Tenant's property upon the expiration of the lease
term, as may be recoverable by Tenant in Tenant's own right, provided further
that no such claim shall diminish or otherwise affect Landlord's award. Each
party agrees to execute and deliver to the other all instruments that may be
required to effectuate the provisions of this Section.
SECTION 5. If a part or parts of the parking areas are taken, equal
or less than thirty percent (30%) thereof as the same existed prior to such
taking, Tenant shall not be entitled to compensation, diminution or abatement
of any rent or other charges, nor shall the same be deemed an actual or
constructive eviction. If as a result of any such taking of the parking areas
the same are reduced below seventy percent (70%) thereof, Landlord shall have
the right, within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of the award in
condemnation, to supply substitute parking facilities sufficient to meet
minimum governmental requirements on the property of Landlord or within
reasonable proximity to the shopping center; and in connection therewith,
Landlord shall have the right to construct multi-deck, elevated, subterranean
or vertical parking facilities. If Landlord shall be unable to replace or
substitute any such parking facilities so taken to comply with the provisions
of the preceding sentence, Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right and
option to cancel and terminate this Lease, within ninety (90) days after the
earlier of the end of said one hundred eighty (180) days or the date on which
Landlord notifies Tenant that substitute parking facilities will not be
provided by giving the other party a thirty (30) days' notice in writing; and
in such event this Lease shall come to an end upon the expiration of said
thirty (30) days and neither party thereafter shall have any further rights and
obligations as against the other.
ARTICLE XXI - ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
SECTION 1. Tenant shall not assign or in any manner transfer this
Lease or any interest therein, nor sublet the Premises or any part or parts
thereof, nor permit occupancy by anyone with, through or under it, without the
prior written consent of Landlord. Consent by Landlord to one or more
assignments of this Lease or to one or more sublettings of the Premises shall
not operate as a waiver of Landlord's rights under this Article as to any
subsequent assignment or subletting. No assignment or sublease shall release
Tenant (or its Guarantors, if any) of any of its obligations under this Lease
or be construed or taken as a waiver of any of Landlord's rights or remedies
hereunder. For the purpose hereof, if Tenant is a corporation or partnership or
other entity, any change
31
27
in the control of Tenant shall be deemed to be an assignment which shall
required Xxxxxxxx's consent as set forth above.
SECTION 2. If Tenant desires at any time to make an assignment, it
shall first notify Landlord of its desire to do so and shall submit in writing
to Landlord (i) the name of the proposed assignee, mortgagee, subtenant or
other transferee (any of the foregoing being hereinafter referred to as an
"Assignee"), (ii) the nature of the proposed Assignee's business to be carried
on at the Premises, (iii) a copy of the proposed Assignment Agreement and any
other agreement to be entered into concurrently with such assignment, (iv) the
financial information as Landlord may reasonably request concerning the
proposed Assignee. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent at the time
of submitting its notification the sum of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) to
cover Landlord's administrative costs, overhead and counsel fees in connection
with reviewing such proposed assignment. Neither the furnishing of such
information nor the payment of such fee shall limit any of Landlord's rights or
alternatives under this Article XXI.
SECTION 3. None of Tenant's rights under this Lease, nor any estate
thereby created, shall pass to any trustee or receiver in bankruptcy, or any
assignee for the benefit of creditors, or by operation of law.
ARTICLE XXII - COMPETITION
In recognition of the fact that this Lease provides for a percentage
rent based on gross sales made by Tenant in or from the Premises, Xxxxxx agrees
that neither Tenant nor any affiliate or subsidiary of Tenant, directly or
indirectly, shall under the same trade name or otherwise, operate, manage or
have any interest in any other competing store or business for the sale of
merchandise at retail, including a department or concession in another store,
within three (3) miles from the shopping center, excluding establishments of
Tenant in existence as of the date of the execution of this Lease, if any. If
Tenant should violate this covenant, Landlord may (in addition to Landlord's
other remedies) at its option, on each "date of adjustment" occurring
thereafter, increase the annual minimum rent payable to a sum which will be in
the same ratio to the annual minimum rent otherwise fixed pursuant to this
Lease as the ratio of the cost of living on the date of adjustment to the cost
of living for the first month of the term of this Lease (as reflected by the
"price index" published for said dates).
For purposes of this Article, the first "date of adjustment" shall be
the day Tenant first violates this covenant, and each subsequent February 1 for
the remainder of this Lease shall be a "date of adjustment." "Price index," as
used herein, shall have the same meaning as in Article XXXIV, Section 15
hereof.
32
28
The amount of the increase in minimum rent, if any, will not be known
on the date of adjustment; therefore, Tenant shall continue to pay minimum rent
each month at the rate computed as of the previous date of adjustment until the
new fixed minimum rent is determined. When such new minimum rent is determined,
Landlord shall give Tenant notice thereof and Tenant shall add to the monthly
payment first coming due thereafter the amount of arrears, if any. In no event
shall the minimum rental be less than that specified in Article I hereof.
ARTICLE XXIII - FAILURE TO DO BUSINESS
The parties covenant and agree that because of the difficulty or
impossibility of determining Landlord's damage by way of loss of anticipated
percentage rent from Tenant and other tenants in the shopping center, or by way
of loss of value of the shopping center or adverse publicity or appearance by
Xxxxxx's actions, should Tenant (a) fail to take possession and open for
business in the Premises fully fixtured, stocked and staffed on the
Commencement Date, or (b) vacate, abandon or desert the Premises, or (c) cease
operating or conducting Tenant's business therein (except where the Premises
are rendered untenantable by reason of fire, casualty, permitted repairs or
alterations or other causes beyond Tenant's control) or (d) fail or refuse to
maintain business hours on such days or nights or any part thereof as
established by Landlord, then and in any of such events (hereinafter
collectively referred to as "failure to do business"), Landlord shall have the
right, at its option, (i) to collect not only fixed minimum rent and other
rents and charges herein reserved (including percentage rent), but also
additional rent equal to one-quarter (1/4) of the fixed minimum rent reserved
for the period of Tenant's failure to do business, computed at a daily rate for
each and every day or part thereof during such period; and such additional rent
shall be deemed to be liquidated damages to compensate Landlord for percentage
rent that might have been earned by Landlord during such period, and in
addition, at Landlord's option (ii) to treat such failure to do business as an
"Event of Default" within the meaning of Article XXIV of this Lease. As used
herein the terms "vacate," "abandon" or "desert" shall not be defeated because
Xxxxxx may have left all or any part of its trade fixtures or other personal
property in the Premises.
ARTICLE XXIV - DEFAULT
SECTION 1. Upon the happening of any one or more of the following
events (herein referred to as an "Event of Default") Landlord may immediately
or at any time thereafter exercise any remedies conferred upon Landlord by law
or this Lease:
a. If this Lease be assigned or the Premises be sublet,
either voluntarily or by operation of law, except as
herein expressly provided; or
33
29
b. If Tenant shall fail to pay, within ten (10) days after
the same is due, any rental, charge or other sum payable
hereunder or deliver statements required pursuant to the
terms hereof; or
c. Tenant shall fail to correct any default with respect to
Article XXIII hereof within five (5) days after written
notice of such default shall have been given to Tenant;
or
d. Tenant shall fail to keep, observe or perform any of the
other terms, covenants and conditions herein to be kept,
observed and performed by Tenant for more than thirty
(30) days after written notice shall have been given to
Tenant specifying the nature of such default; or
e. The making by Tenant of an assignment for the benefit of
its creditors; or
f. The levying of a writ of execution or attachment on or
against the property of Tenant; or
g. In the event proceedings are instituted in a court of
competent jurisdiction for the reorganization,
liquidation or involuntary dissolution of Tenant, or for
its adjudication as a bankrupt or insolvent, or for the
appointment of a receiver of the property of Tenant, and
said proceedings are not dismissed and any receiver,
trustee or liquidator appointed therein discharged
within thirty (30) days after the institution of said
proceedings.
SECTION 2. Among the remedies which Landlord may exercise are the
following:
a. Landlord shall have the immediate right to re-enter the
Premises and dispossess Tenant and all other occupants
therefrom and remove and dispose of all property therein
or, at Landlord's election, to store such property in a
public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the
account of Tenant, all without service of any notice of
intention to re-enter with or without resort to legal
process (which Tenant hereby expressly waives), and
without Landlord being deemed guilty of trespass or
becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be
occasioned thereby. Any such re-entry shall hereinafter
be referred to as "Repossession." No such Repossession
of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an
election on its part to terminate this Lease.
34
30
b. If an event of default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Landlord shall also have the right, at its
option, in addition to and not in limitation of any
other right or remedy, to terminate this Lease by giving
Tenant a written three (3) days' notice of cancellation
and upon the expiration of said three (3) days, this
Lease and the lease term hereof shall end and expire and
thereupon, unless Landlord shall have theretofore
elected to re-enter the Premises, Landlord shall have
the immediate right of re-entry as more fully described
in Section 2(a) of this Article, and Tenant and all
other occupants shall quit and surrender the Premises to
Landlord, but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter
mentioned.
c. From time to time after Repossession of the Premises,
whether or not this Lease has been terminated, Landlord
may, but shall not be obligated to, attempt to re-let
the Premises for the account of Tenant in the name of
Landlord or otherwise, for such term or terms (which may
be greater or less than the period which would otherwise
have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease)
and upon such terms (which may include concessions or
free rent) and for such uses as Landlord, in its
uncontrolled discretion, may determine, and may collect
and receive the rent therefor. Any rent received shall
be applied against Xxxxxx's obligations hereunder, but
Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for any
failure to collect any rent due upon any such
re-letting.
d. No termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 2(b) of
this Article and no Repossession of the Premises
pursuant to Section 2(a) or (b) of this Article or
otherwise shall relieve Tenant of its liabilities and
obligations under this Lease, all of which shall survive
any such termination or Repossession. In the event of
any such termination or Repossession, whether or not the
Premises shall have been re-let, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the minimum rent, additional rent and other
sums and charges to be paid by Tenant up to the time of
such termination or Repossession and thereafter Tenant,
until the end of what would be been the term of this
Lease in the absence of such termination or Repossession
shall pay to Landlord, as and for liquidated and agreed
current damages for Tenant's default, the equivalent of
the amount of the minimum rent, additional rent and such
other sums
35
31
and charges which would be payable under this Lease by
Tenant if this Lease were still in effect, less the net
proceeds, if any, of any re-letting effected pursuant
to the provisions of section 2(c) of this Article after
deducting all of Landlord's expenses in connection with
such re-letting, including, without limitation, all
repossession costs, brokerage and management
commissions, operating expenses, legal expenses,
attorneys' fees, alteration costs, and expenses of
preparation for such re-letting. Tenant shall pay such
current damages to Landlord monthly on the days on
which the minimum rent would have been payable under
this Lease if this Lease were still in effect, and
Landlord shall be entitled to recover the same from
Tenant on each such day. At any time after such
termination or Repossession whether or not Landlord
shall have collected any current damages as aforesaid,
Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, and
Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand, as and for
liquidated and agreed final damages for Tenant's
default, an amount equal to the then present value of
the excess of the minimum rent, additional rent and
other sums or charges reserved under this Lease from
the day of such termination or Repossession for what
would be the then unexpired term if the same had
remained in effect, over the then net fair rental value
of the Premises for the same period as determined by an
independent real estate appraiser named by Landlord.
For purposes of this section, "present value" shall be
computed by discounting such excess to present value at
a discount rate equal to one percentage point above the
discount rate then in effect at the Federal Reserve
Bank of Minneapolis.
e. In addition to all other remedies of Landlord,
Landlord shall be entitled to reimbursement upon
demand of all reasonable attorneys fees incurred by
Landlord in connection with any Event of Default.
f. In determining the Percentage Rent which would be
payable by Tenant for any period when Tenant is no
longer in possession of the Premises following an Event
of Default, the same shall be deemed to be for each
lease year during the remainder of the lease term
hereof, or the period equivalent thereto which
otherwise would have constituted the balance of the
lease term hereof, the average annual percentage rent
paid or payable by Tenant from the commencement of the
lease term hereof to the end of lease year immediately
preceding the occurrence of
36
32
such Event of Default, or during the immediately
preceding three (3) full lease years, whichever period
is shorter.
g. Landlord and Xxxxxx agree that the remedies available to
Landlord under law and the remedies expressly described
in this Lease may not be adequate; therefore, Tenant
hereby agrees that Landlord may institute any action or
proceeding to compel Tenant to specifically perform and
observe any covenant, agreement or condition of this
Lease or to enjoin Tenant from defaulting in the
performance or observance of any covenant, agreement or
condition of this Lease. Tenant hereby waives the claim
or defense that Landlord has an adequate remedy at law
and Tenant covenants that Tenant will not assert such
claim or defense in any such action or proceeding
h. In the event of any breach hereunder by Xxxxxx, Landlord
may immediately or at any time thereafter, without
notice, perform or observe any of Tenant's obligations
hereunder for the account and at the expense of Xxxxxx.
Such performance or observance by Landlord shall not
constitute a waiver of Tenant's default.
If Landlord at any time, by reason of such breach, is
compelled to pay, or elects to pay, any sum of money or
do any act which will require the payment of any sum of
money, or is compelled to incur any expense, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, by instituting or
prosecuting any action or proceeding to enforce
Landlord's rights hereunder, the sum or sums so paid by
Xxxxxxxx, shall bear interest from the date of payment
at the rate specified in Article VII, Section 2 hereof.
i. The remedies conferred upon Landlord by law, and the
remedies conferred upon Landlord by this Lease are
cumulative; and no remedy shall be deemed to exclude any
other remedy. Each remedy may be exercised from time to
time, as often as occasion arises.
SECTION 3. This Lease is intended as and constitutes a security
agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code. As security for
payment of rent, damages and all other payments to be made by Tenant, Tenant
hereby grants to Landlord a lien and security interest under the Uniform
Commercial Code in all property of Tenant now or hereafter placed on the
Premises, including but not limited to leasehold improvements, trade
37
33
fixtures, furnishings and inventory. Xxxxxx agrees to execute such financing
statements as Landlord may from time to time request in order to perfect this
security interest. Landlord may at its election file a copy of this Lease as a
financing statement. Landlord, as a secured party, shall be entitled to all of
the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial Code.
SECTION 4. Should Landlord be in default under the terms of this
Lease, Landlord Shall have reasonable and adequate time (which shall be at
least thirty (30) days) in which to cure the same after written notice to
Landlord by Xxxxxx.
In the event of any act or omission of Landlord which would give
Tenant the right, immediately or after lapse of a period of time, to cancel or
terminate this Lease, or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant shall not
exercise such right (a) until it has given written notice of such act or
omission to the holder of each superior mortgage and the lessor of each
superior lease whose name and address shall previously have been furnished to
Tenant in Writing; and (b) until a reasonable period for remedying such act or
omission shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice and following
the time when such holder or lessor shall have become entitled under such
superior mortgage or superior lease, as the case may be, to remedy the same
(which reasonable period shall in no event be less than the period to which
Landlord would be entitled under this Lease or otherwise, after similar notice,
to effect such remedy), provided that if such act or omission shall be one
which is not capable of being remedied by Landlord or such mortgage holder
within a reasonable period of time, Tenant shall not exercise such right if
such holder or Landlord shall with due diligence give Tenant written notice of
intention to, and commence and continue to remedy such act or omission.
Anything in this agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord
shall not be deemed in default with respect to the performance of any of the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease if the same shall be due to any
strike, lock-out or other labor trouble, material shortages, governmental
restrictions, fire, acts of God, the elements, war, riot, rebellion or any
other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, and this Lease and the
obligation of Tenant to pay rent hereunder and perform all of the other
covenants to be performed hereunder by Xxxxxx shall not be affected, impaired
or excused, except as otherwise specifically provided herein.
ARTICLE XXV - SECURITY DEPOSIT
Tenant hereby deposits with Landlord the sum referred to in Article I
hereof as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of every term and
condition of this Lease. If any of the rents herein reserved or any other sum
payable by Tenant to Landlord
38
34
shall be overdue or unpaid, or if Landlord makes any payment on behalf of
Tenant or if there shall be a breach or default by Tenant in respect of any
term or condition of this Lease, Landlord may use all or any part of the
security to perform the same for the account of Tenant, or for any damages or
deficiency in the re-letting of the Premises, whether such damages or default
accrue before or after summary proceedings or re- entry by Landlord. The
provisions herein contained do not limit the rights of Landlord pursuant to the
terms of Article XXIV of this Lease. It is understood that no interest on said
security will be paid by Landlord to Tenant.
In the event of any sale, transfer or assignment of the Landlord's
interest under this Lease, Landlord may transfer or assign said security to the
vendee, transferee or assignee, as the case may be, and Landlord thereupon
shall be released from all liability for the repayment of said security, and
Tenant, in each instance, shall look solely to such vendee, transferee or
assignee, as the case may be, for repayment of said security. The provisions
hereof shall apply to each such sale, transfer or assignment and to each such
transfer or assignment of such security.
ARTICLE XXVI - SURRENDER OF POSSESSION
SECTION 1. At the expiration of the tenancy created hereunder,
whether by lapse of time or otherwise, Xxxxxx shall surrender the Premises in
good condition and repair except for reasonable wear and tear, any repairs
specifically required herein to be performed by Landlord and loss by fire or
other causes which can be insured by standard fire and extended coverage
insurance or which is covered by other insurance. If the Premises is not
surrendered at the end of the term or the sooner termination thereof, Tenant
shall indemnify Landlord against loss or liability resulting from delay by
Xxxxxx in so surrendering the Premises, including without limitation, claims
made by any succeeding tenant founded on such delay.
SECTION 2. In the event Tenant remains in possession of the Premises
after the expiration of the tenancy created hereunder without the execution of
a new lease, Tenant, at the option of Landlord, shall be deemed to be occupying
the Premises as a tenant from month to month, at a monthly rental equal to the
sum of (i) twice the monthly installment of minimum rent payable during the
last month of the lease term, (ii) the monthly common area charge, (iii) the
monthly promotional charge, and (iv) one-twelfth (1/12) of the average
percentage rent payable hereunder for the last lease year, subject to all the
other conditions, provisions and obligations of this Lease insofar as the same
are applicable to a month-to-month tenancy.
SECTION 3. Upon the expiration of the tenancy hereby created, if
Landlord so requires in writing at that time, Tenant shall immediately remove
any permanent alterations, additions, fixtures
39
35
and improvements made or installed in the Premises by Tenant as designated in
said request, and shall remove all non-permanent alterations, additions,
improvements and fixtures made or installed therein by Tenant, and repair any
damage occasioned by all such removals at Tenant's expense, and in default
thereof, Landlord may effect such removals and repairs, and Tenant shall pay
Landlord the cost thereof, with interest as provided in Article VII, Section 2
hereof.
ARTICLE XXVII - FINANCIAL ABILITY OF TENANT
Not later than fifteen (15) days after the date of this Lease Tenant
shall furnish to Landlord evidence in form and substance satisfactory to
Landlord of Tenant's ability to perform its financial obligations under this
Lease including but not limited to payment of costs of Tenant's Work (as
defined in Exhibit "C"), costs of other initial leasehold improvements,
fixtures and furnishings of the Premises and costs of operation of Tenant's
business including working capital, inventory purchases and rent and costs and
charges under this Lease. In the event that Tenant is relying upon a lender's
commitment to provide financing, such commitment shall be in form and substance
satisfactory to Landlord. In making its determination of Tenant's financial
ability, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, take into account the
financial ability of any guarantors of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
In the event that Xxxxxx's financial condition (or the evidence of
such condition) is not satisfactory to Landlord, Landlord shall have the
option, exercisable by written notice delivered to Tenant within thirty (30)
days to terminate this Lease. In the event that this Lease is terminated
pursuant to this Article XXVII, any money or security deposited hereunder shall
be returned to Tenant and neither party shall have any further right, duty,
privilege or obligation hereunder.
ARTICLE XXVIII - SUBORDINATION
Tenant agrees that this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all
covenants, restrictions, easements, agreements, liens and encumbrances now or
hereafter affecting the fee title to the shopping center property and to all
ground and underlying leases and mortgages, trust deeds, or any other method of
financing or refinancing in any amounts, and to any and all advances to be made
thereunder and to the interest thereon, which may now or hereafter be placed
against or affect any and all of the land and/or the Premises and/or any or all
of the buildings and improvements now or at any time hereafter constituting a
part of or adjoining the shopping center and all renewals, modifications,
replacements and extensions thereof. Xxxxxx further agrees that upon
notification by Landlord to Tenant, this Lease shall be or become prior to any
ground and underlying leases and mortgages, trust deeds or any other method of
financing or refinancing that may heretofore or
40
36
hereafter be placed on the shopping center or any part thereof. Tenant shall
execute and deliver whatever instruments may be required for the above
purposes, and failing to do so within ten (10) days after demand in writing, in
addition to the remedies provided in Article XXIV, does hereby make, constitute
and irrevocably appoint Landlord as its attorney-in-fact and in its name, place
and stead so to do.
ARTICLE XXIX - QUIET ENJOYMENT
Tenant, upon paying the rents herein reserved and performing and
observing all of the other terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on the
Tenant's part to be performed and observed hereunder, shall peaceably and
quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises during the lease term hereof, subject
nevertheless, to the terms of this Lease, and to any mortgages, ground or
underlying leases, agreements and encumbrances to which this Lease is or may be
subordinated.
ARTICLE XXX - CORPORATE TENANT
If Tenant is a corporation, the persons executing this Lease on behalf
of Tenant hereby covenant, represent and warrant that Tenant is a duly
incorporated or duly qualified (if foreign) corporation and is authorized to do
business in the State of Minnesota (a copy of evidence thereof to be supplied
to Landlord upon request), that each person executing this Lease on behalf of
Tenant is an officer of Tenant, and that he or they as such officers are duly
authorized to sign and execute this Lease (a copy of a resolution of the same
to be supplied to Landlord upon request).
ARTICLE XXXI - TENANT'S STATEMENT
Within ten (10) days after written request therefor by Landlord,
Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord or to any proposed
purchaser or lender a written statement, similar in form to Exhibit D hereto
attached, certifying: (a) the commencement date of this Lease; (b) that this
Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been
modifications, that the Lease with such modifications is in full force and
effect); (c) the dates to which the minimum rent and other charges have been
paid; (d) that there are no defenses or offsets to the Lease (or if there are
offsets, the offsets claimed by Tenant); and (e) such other matters as may
reasonably be requested by Landlord.
Tenant's failure to deliver such a statement within such time shall be
conclusive upon Tenant (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without
modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii) that there are no
uncured defaults in Landlord's
41
37
performance, and (iii) that no rental has been paid in advance unless otherwise

Tenants or classes of Tenants.
ARTICLE XXXIII - NOTICES

be. The Tenant hereby agrees to give the mortgagee of the shopping center

SECTION 5. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed by
the parties hereto, nor by any third party, as creating the relationship of
principal and agent or of partnership or of joint venture between the parties

render unnecessary consent to or approval of any subsequent similar act. The

provision of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No
provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived unless such waiver

to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such rent and/or other charges or
pursue any other remedy in this Lease or by law provided.

and assigns, provided, that nothing in this section shall be deemed to permit

to work being performed in the Premises, irrespective of the reason for any
such stoppage, in recognition of the fact that it is of the utmost importance
to Landlord, Tenant and all those occupying space in the shopping center that
there be
10

any contract or undertaking which Tenant may make or enter into with a
contractor or subcontractor for work to be performed in the Premises, provision
shall be made for the dismissal from the job for stoppage of work as herein

times.
SECTION 2. Article II, Section 1 is further amended by adding at the end

Percentage rent, if any, for the fiscal year ending May 30, 1997 shall
be due and payable in full on or before June 30, 1997. Thereafter,
percentage rent shall be determined and payable quarterly on or before
the fifteenth (15th) day following the close of each such quarterly
period during the term based on year-to-date gross sales for the
fiscal year in which the quarter occurs. Quarters end on August 31,
November 30, February 28 (or 29) and May 30. The "annual breakpoint"
for each full fiscal year during the first ten years of the term is
$2,520,000. The "annual breakpoint" for the next five years of the
term is $3,360,000. The "annual breakpoint" for the first five year
extended term is $3,640,000. The "annual breakpoint" for the second
five year extended term is $4,200,000. The first quarterly payment
shall be five percent (5%) of the amount by which Xxxxxx's gross sales
for the first quarter exceed one-quarter of the relevant annual
breakpoint. The second quarterly payment shall be five percent (5%) of
the amount by which Xxxxxx's gross sales for the first two quarters
exceed one-half of the relevant annual breakpoint. The third quarterly
payment shall be five percent
F-4

(5%) of the amount by which Xxxxxx's gross sales for the first three
quarters exceed three-fourths of the relevant annual breakpoint. The
fourth quarterly payment shall be five percent (5%) of the amount by
which Xxxxxx's gross sales for the year exceed the relevant annual
breakpoint. The percentage rent credit provided for in Article I,
paragraph 5 for each of the first five full fiscal years shall be
taken against the first payments of percentage rent due hereunder.
Further, if at the end of any such fiscal year the credit taken by
Tenant in preceding quarters exceeds the amount of credit for which
Xxxxxx is eligible for the year, then Tenant shall, not later that
fifteen (15) days after the end of the fiscal year, pay to Landlord
the amount of the excess. If, at the end of any Fiscal Year, the
total amount of estimated percentage rent paid by Tenant exceeds the
total amount of percentage rent required to be paid by Tenant for the
said Fiscal Year, Tenant shall, notwithstanding any provision in this
Lease to the contrary, have the right to off-set such excess against
the next payments of rent due hereunder. Any excess estimated
percentage rental paid during the last Fiscal Year of the lease term
will be refunded to Tenant as soon as the amount of such excess is
ascertained. If, at the end of any Fiscal Year, the total amount of
estimated percentage rent required to be paid by Tenant is less than
the total amount of percentage rent required to be paid by Tenant for
said Fiscal Year, the balance shall be due and payable in full thirty
(30) days after the end of said Fiscal Year.
SECTION 13. Article V, Section 2 is amended by deleting the words "without
reserve or deduction for inability or failure to collect" from the fifth line
thereof, and by inserting after the sentence that ends "to shippers or
manufacturers" the following:
In addition to the above, the following will specifically be excluded
from Gross Sales for purposes of computing Percentage Rent: (i) Sales
to employees of Tenant at a discount, to the extent said sales do not
exceed two percent (2%) of annual Gross Sales; (ii) sales of
merchandise bearing Tenant's trade name or logo to the extent said

check or credit card where the check is uncollectible or the credit
card charge is not paid by the card issuer; (iv) proceeds from the
sale of pre-recorded music by artists appearing live at the Premises
and of merchandise such as t-shirts and hats related to such artists;
and (v) cover charges and event fees collected by Xxxxxx in connection
with live entertainment at the Premises. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the full retail price of any food, beverage, pre-recorded
music and merchandise provided without charge to persons in
consideration of the payment of a cover charge or event fee, or the
value of any discount on the purchase of the same given in
consideration of the payment of a cover charge or event fee shall be
included in gross
F-5
73
sales. To the extent Tenant earns a "profit" from the activities
described in subparagraphs (iv) and (v) above, such "profit" shall be
included in gross sales. For purposes of the foregoing, "profit"
shall mean the proceeds, charges and fees described in subparagraphs
(iv) and (v) above, less the following costs and expenses incurred by
Tenant and reasonably attributable to the performance of live music or
sale of prerecorded music and merchandise: (1) direct costs of
prerecorded music and t-shirts, hats and music-related merchandise;

FIRST AMENDMENT TO
LEASE
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE is made and entered into this ______ day of
March, 1996, by and between Xxxxxxx Square Associates Limited Partnership,
(hereinafter "Landlord") and Lake & Hennepin BBQ and Blues, Inc. (hereinafter
"Tenant") and amends that certain Lease between Landlord and Tenant, dated
January 4, 1996 for premises in the Xxxxxxx Square Shopping Center (hereinafter
referred to as the "Lease").
WHEREAS, Tenant desires to expand the Premises by building a permanent
addition thereto over the existing patio and by expanding into the interior
common area of the shopping center; and
WHEREAS, Xxxxxxxx has consented to the expansion provided that adjustments
are made to the rents and charges payable under the Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants
and agreements herein contained, Landlord and Tenant do hereby agree as
follows:
Section 1. Except as hereinafter specifically provided to the contrary,
all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease are, and shall remain,
in full force and effect. To the extent the provisions of this First Amendment
conflict with the terms of the Lease, the provisions of this First Amendment
shall be controlling.
Section 2. Article I is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following
is inserted in lieu thereof:
ARTICLE I - PERTINENT DATA
Each reference in this Lease to any of the following terms shall be
construed to include the pertinent data set forth below.
1. PREMISES: The area designated as space no. G-109, plus the patio
area immediately south of space no. G-109 on which Tenant will construct a
fully enclosed expansion (the lower level, if any, of which shall be
disregarded for purposes of computing minimum rent and additional rent so
long as it is not used for customer seating and entertainment purposes),
plus the currently existing farmers' market area (hereinafter the "Farmers
Market Area") immediately east of space no. G-109 (which area shall not be
included in determining the gross leasable area of the Premises as provided
in Article II, Section 3). The gross leasable area as to which minimum
rent, percentage rent and additional rent is payable is agreed to be 7,220
square feet. To the extent the expansion of the Premises into the existing
common areas of the shopping center and onto the existing patio result in
90
the Premises having a leasable area in excess of 7,220 square feet no
minimum rent shall be payable as to the excess area, but such excess area
(excluding the lower level unless and to the extent used for customer
seating or entertainment purposes) shall be considered as part of the
gross leasable area of the Premises for purposes of determining Tenant's
share of common area expenses and, commencing January 1, 1998, Tenant's
share of real property taxes. In the event any other tenant of the
shopping center asserts that all or part of the excess area should have
been included as part of the leasable area of the shopping center for
purposes of calculating such tenant's share of taxes for the period
beginning on the Commencement Date and ending December 31, 1997, and in
the further event Landlord makes a refund to such tenant, Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord in an amount equal to any such refund. The parties
have based their determination of the gross leasable area of the Premises
for certain purposes as being 7,220 square feet upon the assumption that
the expansion of the storefront into the existing interior common area of
the shopping center will add 222 square feet of gross leasable area. In
the event the gross leasable area of the storefront expansion is other
than 222 square feet, then the leasable area as to which minimum rent,
percentage rent and additional rent are payable shall be adjusted upward
or downward to reflect any change in the leasable area of the storefront
expansion, and the minimum rents and percentage rent breakpoints set
forth below shall be adjusted to reflect such change. In the event the
parties cannot agree upon the adjustment in area resulting from the
storefront expansion, and they shall promptly appoint a neutral
architect licensed in the State of Minnesota to make the determination
based on the provisions of Article II, Section 3, and such architect's
determination shall be conclusive upon the parties.
2. TERM: Fifteen full lease years, commencing on July 1, 1996 and
ending on June 30, 2011. In addition, Tenant shall have options for two

estimated percentage rent paid by Tenant exceeds the total amount
of percentage rent required to be paid by Tenant for the said
Fiscal Year, Tenant shall, notwithstanding any provision in this
Lease to the contrary, have the right to off-set such excess
against the next payments of rent due hereunder. Any excess
estimated percentage rental paid during the last Fiscal Year of the
lease term will be refunded to Tenant as soon as the amount of such
excess is ascertained. If, at the end of any Fiscal Year, the
total amount of estimated percentage rent required to be paid by
Tenant is less than the total amount of percentage rent required to
be paid by Tenant for said Fiscal Year, the balance shall be due
and payable in full thirty (30) days after the end of said Fiscal
Year.
