         If the Premises shall be damaged or destroyed and in the event that
Landlord has elected to continue this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall commence
their respective obligations under this Article as soon as is reasonably
possible and prosecute the same to completion with all due diligence.

         Except where the damage or destruction results from the worngful or

proportionately with the degree to which Tenant's use of the Premises is
impaired during the period of any damage, repair or restoration provided for in
this Article 20; provided further, that in the event Landlord elects to repair
any damages as herein contemplated, any abatement of Minimum Rent shall end ten

Premises shall be acquired or condemned by eminent domain for any public or
quasi-public use or purpose, or in the event ten (10%) percent or more of the
Premises shall have been so taken, and Tenant shall not elect to terminate this
Lease as set forth above, then the Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises
to a condition reasonably comparable under the circumstances to its condition at
the time of such condemnation, less the portion lost in the taking; and this
Lease shall thereafter continue in full force and effect. In such event of a
partial taking, described hereinabove, from the effective date that physical
possession is taken by the condemning authority through the end of the term of
this Lease, the annual Minimum Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord shall be
reduced by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the gross area of the
premises so taken by the condemning authority and the denominator of which shall
be the gross area of the Premises on the date immediately prior to the effective
date of such taking.

         Total Condemnation of Parking Area. If the whole of the common parking
areas in the Center shall be acquired or condemned by eminent domain for any

         Partial Condemnation of Parking Area. If twenty (20%) percent or more
of the common parking areas in the Center shall be acquired or condemned by
eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, then the Tenant

proceeding.

         If less than twenty (20%) percent of the parking areas in the Center
shall be acquired or condemned by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public
use or purpose, or if more than twenty (20%) percent of the parking areas shall
be so acquired or condemned, but Tenant shall not elect to cancel and terminate
this Lease, then the Landlord shall restore the parking areas to a condition
reasonably comparable under the circumstances to its condition at the time of
such condemnation, less the portion lost in the taking. In such event, this
Lease shall be and remain in full force and effect and no reduction of Minimum
Rent, Percentage Rent or any Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease
shall be allowed in such circumstances, but Tenant shall continue to pay the
full Minimum Rent, Percentage Rent, or any Additional Rent payable under this
Lease for the balance of the term hereof.

surrenders all or any part of the Premises prior to the expiration of the Term
of the Lease or (2) Tenant fails to fulfill any of the terms or conditions of

prior acceptance of late payments and/or late charges, (i) if Landlord notifies
Tenant twice in any 6-month period that Minimum Rent, Percentage Rent or any
Additional Rent has not been paid when due, then any other late payment within
such 6-month period shall automatically constitute a default hereunder without
the necessity of notice and (ii) the mere acceptance by Landlord of late
payments in the past shall not, regardless of any applicable laws to the
contrary, thereafter be deemed to waive Landlord's right to strictly enforce
this Lease, including Tenant's obligation to make payment of Rent on the exact
day same is due, against Tenant.

         Landlord's Default. If Tenant asserts that Landlord has failed to meet
any of its obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall provide written notice

efforts are diligent and continuous. if Landlord has not begun the cure within
thirty (30) days of receipt of the Notice of Default, or Landlord does not
thereafter diligently and continuously attempt to cure, then Landlord shall be
in default under this Lease. if Landlord is in default under this Lease, then
the mortgage holder(s) shall have an additional thirty (30) days, after receipt
of a second written notice from Tenant, within which to cure such default or, if

may, at its option, in addition to such other remedies as may be available under
the law of the State where the Center is located:

         1.       Terminate this Lease and Tenant's right of possession; or

         2.       Terminate Tenant's right to possession but not the Lease
and/or proceed in accordance with any and all provisions of paragraph B below.

         Landlord's Remedies. Landlord may without further notice reenter the
Premises either by force or otherwise and dispossess Tenant by summary
proceedings or otherwise, as well as the legal representatives) of Tenant and/or
other occupants) of the Premises, and remove their effects and hold the Premises
as if this Lease had not

                                       18


been made, and Tenant hereby waives the service of notice of intention to
re-enter or to institute legal proceedings to that end; and/or at Landlord's
option.

         All Rent and all Additional Rent for the balance of the Term will, at
the election of Landlord, be accelerated and the present worth of same for the
balance of the Lease Term, net of amounts actually collected by Landlord, shall
become immediately due thereupon and be paid, together with all expenses of
every nature which Landlord may incur such as (by way of illustration and not
limitation) those for attorneys' fees, brokerage, advertising, and refurbishing
the Premises in good order or preparing them for re-rental. For purposes of this
clause (2), "present worth" shall be computed by discounting such amount to
present worth at a discount rate equal to one percentage point above the
discount rate then in effect at the Federal Reserve Bank nearest to the location
of the Center. If such termination shall take place after the expiration of two
or more Lease Years, then, for purposes of computing the accelerated Rent, the
Annual Percentage Rent payable with respect to each Lease Year following
termination (including the Lease Year in which such termination shall take
place) shall be conclusively presumed to be equal to the average Annual
Percentage Rent payable with respect to each complete Lease Year preceding
termination. If such termination shall take place before the expiration of two
Lease Years, then, for purposes of computing the accelerated Rent, the Annual
Percentage Rent payable with respect to each Lease Year following termination
(including the Lease Year in which such the unexpired Term shall be conclusively
presumed to be a sum equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the annual Minimum
Rent due and payable during such unexpired Term; and/or at Landlord's option.

         Landlord may re-let the Premises or any part thereof, either in the
name of Landlord or otherwise, for a term or terms which may at Landlord's
option be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted
the balance of the Lease Term, and may grant concessions or free rent or charge
a higher rental than that reserved in this Lease; and/or at Landlord's option,

         Tenant or its legal representatives will also pay to Landlord as
liquidated damages any deficiency between the Rent and all Additional Rent
hereby reserved and/or agreed to be paid and the net amount, if any, of the
rents collected on account of the lease or leases of the Premises for each month
of the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease
Term.

         If Landlord exercises the remedy above, and provided that Tenant has
paid Landlord the accelerated Rent as required by this paragraph, Landlord shall
remit to Tenant on a monthly basis until the Expiration Date any amounts
actually collected by Landlord as a result of a re-letting remaining after
subtracting therefrom all reasonable costs paid by Landlord to secure a
replacement tenant including reasonable marketing/leasing costs, fees and
commissions, and costs of preparing improvements and refurbishment to the
Premises for the replacement tenant. In no event shall the total amount paid to
Tenant pursuant to the preceding sentence exceed the accelerated Rent paid by
Tenant to Landlord. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 23.5(A) (2)

                                       19


Landlord may re-let the Premises or any part thereof, alone or together with
other premises, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the
period which otherwise would have constituted the balance of the Term) and on
such terms and conditions (which may include concessions or free rent and
alterations of the Premises) as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine,
but Landlord shall not be liable for nor shall Tenant's obligations hereunder be
diminished by reason of, any failure by Landlord to re-let the Premises or any
failure by Landlord to collect any rent due upon such re-letting.

         Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby
waives: (a) jury trial in any action or proceeding regarding a monetary default
by Tenant and/or Landlord's right to possession of the Premises, and (b) in any
action or proceeding by Landlord for eviction where Landlord has also filed a
separate action for damages, Tenant waives the right to interpose any
counterclaim in such eviction action. Moreover, Tenant agrees that it shall not
interpose or maintain any counterclaim in such damages action unless it pays and
continues to pay all Rent, as and when due, into the registry of the court in
which the damages action is filed.

         Waiver of Rights of Redemption. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and
all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in the
event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of
Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises, by reason of the violation by
Tenant of any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease or otherwise.

an assignment under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. For purposes of any
such assumption or assignment of this Lease, the parties agree that the term
"adequate assurance" shall include, without limitation, at least the following:
(i) any proposed assignee must have, as demonstrated to Landlord's satisfaction,
a net worth (as defined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied) in an amount sufficient to assure that the
proposed assignee will have the resources to meet the financial

                                       21


responsibilities under this Lease, including the payment of all Rent; the
financial condition and resources of Tenant are material inducements to Landlord
entering into this Lease; (ii) any proposed assignee must have engaged in the
Use described in Section 1.11 for at least five (5) years prior to any such
proposed assignment, the parties hereby acknowledging that in entering into this
Lease, Landlord considered extensively Tenant's permitted use and determined
that such permitted business would add substantially to the tenant balance in
the Center, and were it not for Tenant's agreement to operate only Tenant's
permitted business on the Premises, Landlord would not have entered into this
Lease, and that Landlord's operation of the Center will be materially impaired
if a trustee in bankruptcy or any assignee of this Lease operates any business
other than Tenant's permitted business; (iii) any assumption of this Lease by a
proposed assignee shall not adversely affect Landlord's relationship with any of
the remaining tenants in the Center taking into consideration any and all other
"use" clauses and/or "exclusivity" clauses which may then exist under their
leases with Landlord; and (iv) any proposed assignee must not be engaged in any
business or activity which it will conduct on the Premises and which will
subject the Premises to contamination by any Hazardous Materials.

                       LIMITATIONS OF LANDLORD'S LIABILITY

         The term "Landlord" as used in this Lease, so far as covenants or
obligations on the part of the Landlord are concerned shall be limited to mean
and include only a ground lessee if the named Landlord herein is holding the
premises under a ground lease for so long as the named Landlord is the holder of
such ground lease interest or the owner or owners of the fee simple of the
Premises; and in the event of transfer or transfers of either the ground
leasehold interest to any other person or the transfer of title to the fee
premises to any person, the Landlord herein named (and in the case of subsequent
transfers or conveyances the then grantor or assignor), shall be automatically
freed and relieved from and after the date of such transfer or conveyance or
assignment of all liability as respects the performance of any covenant or
obligation on the part of the Landlord contained in this Lease thereafter to be
performed, it being the intention of the parties that the covenants and
obligations to be observed and performed by the-Landlord shall be binding upon
the Landlord only during and in respect of its period of ownership of either a
leasehold interest, or a fee interest as the case may be. Anything in this Lease
to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant agrees that Tenant shall, subject to
prior rights of any mortgagee of the Center, look solely to the estate and
property of Landlord in the Center for the collection of any judgment (or other
judicial process) requiring the payment of money by Landlord in the event of any
default or breach by Landlord with respect to any of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease to be observed and/or performed by Landlord, and no
other assets of Landlord or any principal of Landlord shall be subject to levy,
execution or other procedures for the satisfaction of Tenant's remedies.
