Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan, as hereinafter defined, or any Replacement Mortgage Loan, as hereinafter defined, the interest rate payable by Landlord, as mortgagor, is increased or decreased during the term of this Lease from the interest rate initially payable under the Mortgage Loan, then, effective with the first monthly installment of annual base rent which is payable after the effective date of any increase or decrease in the rate of interest payable pursuant to the Mortgage Loan, or pursuant to the Replacement Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, the monthly installment of base annual rent which is payable hereunder shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to the amount by which the amount of interest payable, monthly, on the Mortgage Loan, or on the Replacement Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, exceeds or decreases the amount of interest which would have been payable monthly on the Mortgage Loan if the rate of interest had not been increased or decreased over the rate of interest payable under the Mortgage Loan.

Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of Landlord's intention to obtain a Replacement Mortgage.

Also excluded from gross sales are employee and manager food and beverage purchases, customer comps on food, customer promotions and off-site merchandise sales.

Each sale upon installment or credit shall be treated as a sale for the full price in the month in which such sale shall be made, irrespective of the time when Tenant shall receive complete or partial payment from its customer. Tenant shall conduct its business in good faith and in such manner that Landlord will at all times receive maximum amount of rent from the operation of Tenant's business in and from the Leased Premises. c.

Each party to this Lease agrees immediately to give each insurance company which has issued policies of fire and extended coverage insurance, written notice of the terms of the mutual waiver as contained in this paragraph, and to have the insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of the insurance coverage by reason of the mutual waivers contained in this paragraph. Nothing contained in this paragraph above shall preclude Tenant from obtaining its own insurance on Tenant's Property which shall provide for Tenant to be the loss payee. 18. FIRE AND CASUALTY DAMAGE. If any of Landlord's Improvements shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Landlord, within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of said damage or destruction, shall make all alterations and repairs to Landlord's Improvements which are necessary to restore the Landlord's Improvements to the same condition as existed prior to the fire or casualty so the Tenant may make the same use thereof as that which was in effect immediately prior to such fire or other casualty loss, provided, however, in the event that Landlord's Improvements are damaged to an extent greater than 50% of the then fair market value thereof and less than two years then remain during the term of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon 30 days' prior written notice to Tenant provided that this Lease shall not be terminated in the event that Tenant, within said 30-day period, gives written notice to Landlord that it has exercised its option, if any, to extend the term of this Lease for the then extended term which is provided for under paragraph 27 hereof. In the event that the Leased Premises are rendered untenantable, in whole, or in part, by any said damage or destruction, all base rent and additional rent shall abate proportionately to the extent and duration of untenantability. If Landlord's Improvements cannot be restored and repaired within said one hundred twenty (120) day-period because of delay caused by strikes, acts of God, insurrection, civil commotion, riots, or unavoidable casualty, that prohibit, limit or delay such construction, then the time for completion of such construction shall be extended accordingly, provided, however, that in any event, if the restorations and repairs of Landlord's Improvements have not been completed within a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such damage or `destruction, either party hereto, by written notice to the other given within 210 days after the date of said damage or destruction, may terminate this Lease effective with the giving of said notice. 19. EMINENT DOMAIN. If the whole of the Leased Premises shall be appropriated or condemned under power of eminent domain (which shall include a voluntary sale in lieu of taking) or by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose during the term of this Lease, or any renewal hereof, Tenant reserves the right to prosecute its claim for an award for damages based on the value of Tenant's Property erected or installed on the Leased Premises and any damages Tenant may sustain for removal, relocation and replacement costs and expenses caused by said appropriation or taking, provided, however, such claim by Tenant shall not impair any rights of Landlord for such appropriation and taking of, or the injury to, the remainder. In said event, this Lease shall terminate when Tenant can no longer reasonably use the Leased Premises in the manner herein intended, or when possession thereof shall be required by the appropriating or condemning authority, or when legal title to the Leased Premises shall vest in the appropriating or condemning 7 authority, whichever shall first occur, but such termination of this Lease shall not preclude nor restrict Tenant's right to an award hereinbefore provided. In the event that a part of the Leased Premises shall be appropriated or condemned and the part so taken shall include the building on the Leased Premises, or any part thereof; or (ii) more than 20% of the parking area, or result in the loss of any driveway, or curb cut, which provides access to any adjacent public street or highway, the loss of which would materially interfere with Tenant's use of the Leased Premises for the purposes for which the same are then being used by Tenant, then, and in any said event, Tenant, at its sole option, to be exercised at any time either prior to or within a period of sixty (60) days after the date when possession of the part of the Leased Premises so taken shall be required by the appropriating or condemning authority, may elect to terminate this Lease. In the event, Tenant shall exercise said election to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to prosecute its claim for an award for damages based upon the value of Tenant's Property erected, placed or installed on or about the Leased Premises, in the same manner and to the same extent as that hereinbefore reserved by Tenant. In the event Tenant shall fail to exercise said option to terminate this Lease, or in the event that a part of the Leased Premises shall be taken or condemned under circumstances in which Tenant shall have no such option, then in either said event, Landlord, with reasonable promptness, shall make necessary repairs to and alterations of Landlord's Improvements for the purpose of restoring the same to the same condition as existed before the taking so that Tenant may make the same use thereof as that which was in effect immediately prior to such taking and to the extent that may have been necessitated by such appropriation or condemnation. In said event, the annual base rent shall be reduced, as of the date when possession of the Leased Premises shall be required by the appropriating or condemning authority, in proportion to the degree of interference with Tenant's business resulting from such condemnation. In no event shall the reduction in the annual base rent be greater, annually, than an amount equal to 10% of the award received by Landlord as a result of such condemnation. 20. PREMISES INSURANCE. Tenant, at all times during the term of this Lease, and at its expense shall procure, maintain and keep in force, "all-risk" coverage and fire, extended coverage, and vandalism and malicious mischief insurance on the Leased Premises, for the insurable value thereof on a replacement cost basis, with loss of rents coverage acceptable to Landlord, which insurance shall in all events be in an amount sufficient to prevent Landlord or Tenant from becoming a co-insurer of any loss. If the parties cannot agree as to the insurable value of the Leased Premises, such value shall be determined by the insurance company or companies issuing such policy or policies. In the event of any loss covered by such insurance, the proceeds therefrom shall be payable to Landlord. Certificates of insurance will be delivered to Landlord and to its mortgagee, if any. The insurance policy shall name Landlord, and its mortgagee, if any, as loss payee and will be issued by a financially responsible company or companies licensed in the State of Minnesota and shall provide that such policy or policies will not be cancelled without the insurance company first giving Landlord, and its mortgagee, if any, written notice thereof at least ten (10) days before any such cancellation shall become effective and shall provide that any loss otherwise payable thereunder shall be payable notwithstanding any act or negligence of Landlord or Tenant which, absent said agreement, result in forfeiture of all or a part of said insurance payment. So long as there is a mortgage lien upon Landlord's interest in the Leased Premises, each insurance policy required above shall contain a standard mortgage clause in favor of such mortgagee and shall be in the amount, in content and form, and with a company reasonably satisfactory to said mortgagee, provided, however, that any said mortgagee shall be required to make any insurance proceeds available for any repair and restoration of the Leased Premises which is made pursuant to paragraph 18. Upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall, as additional rent hereunder and at Tenant's sole cost and expense, maintain such other insurance on the improvements now or hereafter located on the Premises, in such amounts and against such insurable hazards as Landlord may from time to time reasonably request. 21. FLOOD INSURANCE. Tenant, at all times during the term of this Lease, and at its' expense shall procure, maintain and keep in force, Federal Flood Insurance, for the full unpaid principal balance of the 8 Mortgage Loan as set forth herein under Section 5e, as for the full insurable Value of the Leased Premises on a replacement cost basis, whichever is greater. Certificates of Flood Insurance will be delivered to Landlord and its mortgagee and shall name Landlord and its mortgagee as loss payee. 22. CASUALTY INSURANCE ON TENANT'S CONTENTS OF IMPROVEMENTS.

If Landlord defaults in the performance of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of this Lease which are to be performed by Landlord and shall continue in default for a period of thirty (30) days after Tenant gives notice to Landlord of said default, then in said event, and as often as any said event shall occur, Tenant may, at Tenant's option, cure said default at Landlord's sole cost and expense. Landlord shall commence to cure said default promptly after receipt of said notice and, thereafter, diligently proceed to cure said default provided, however, that in the event the default is of such a nature as to reasonably require more than thirty (30) days in which to cure the default, then Landlord shall be permitted such additional time as is reasonably required to cure said default. If Landlord fails to cure any said default within the time period set forth above for curing the same, Tenant shall have the right to cure said default.
