<PAGE>   6


                  (i) this Lease constitutes a single master lease of all, but
         not less than all, of the Premises and that Lessor and Lessee have
         executed and delivered this Lease with the understanding that this
         Lease constitutes a unitary, unseverable instrument pertaining to all,
         but not less than all, of the Premises, and that neither this Lease nor
         the duties, obligations or rights of Lessee may be allocated or
         otherwise divided among the Premises by Lessee;

                  (ii) this Lease is a "true lease" and not a financing lease,
         capital lease, mortgage, equitable mortgage, deed of trust, trust
         agreement, security agreement or other financing or trust arrangement,
         and the economic realities of this Lease are those of a true lease, and
         the parties agree to execute such other documents to confirm this Lease
         is a true lease; and

                  (iii) the business relationship created by this Lease and any
         related documents is solely that of a long-term commercial lease
         between landlord and tenant and has been entered into by both parties
         in reliance upon the economic and legal bargains contained herein.

         B. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that the Lease Term,
including any term extensions provided for in this Lease, is less than the
remaining economic life of each of the Premises.

         C. Lessee waives any claim or defense based upon the characterization
of this Lease as anything other than a true lease, and Lessee stipulates and
agrees not to challenge the validity, enforceability or characterization of the
lease of the Premises as a true lease and further stipulates and agrees that
nothing contained in this Lease creates or is intended to create a joint
venture, partnership (either de jure or de facto), equitable mortgage, trust,
financing device or arrangement, security interest or the like. Lessee shall
support the intent of the parties that the lease of the Premises pursuant to
this Lease is a true lease and does not create a joint venture, partnership
(either de jure or de facto), equitable mortgage, trust, financing device or
arrangement, security interest or the like, if, and to the extent that, any
challenge occurs.

         D. Lessee waives any claim or defense based upon the characterization
of this Lease as anything other than a master lease of all of the Premises, and
Lessee stipulates and agrees not to challenge the validity, enforceability or
characterization of the lease of the Premises as a unitary, unseverable
instrument pertaining to the lease of all, but not less than all, of the
Premises. Lessee shall support the intent of the parties that this Lease is a
unitary, unseverable instrument pertaining to the lease of all, but not less
than all, of the Premises.

         E. The expressions of intent set forth in this Section are a material
inducement to Lessor entering into this Lease.

         4. LEASE TERM. The Lease Term shall commence as of the Effective Date
and shall expire on the date which is twenty years and six months after the last
day of the month in which the Effective Date occurs unless terminated sooner as
provided in this Lease. The time period during which this Lease shall actually
be in effect is referred to herein as the "Lease Term."

         5. RENTAL AND OTHER PAYMENTS. A. If the Effective Date is a date other
than the first day of the month, Lessee shall pay Lessor on the Effective Date

prorated on the basis of the ratio that the number of days from the Effective
Date through the last day in the month containing the Effective Date bears to
the number of days in such month. Thereafter, on or before the first day of each
succeeding calendar month, Lessee shall pay Lessor in advance the Base Monthly
Rental.

         B. All sums of money required to be paid by Lessee under this Lease
which are not specifically referred to as rent ("Additional Rental") shall be
considered rent although not specifically designated as such. Lessor shall have
the same remedies for nonpayment of Additional Rental as those provided herein

         in the contemplated business, condition, worth or operations of Lessor.

         document, instrument or agreement to which Lessor is a party or by

         authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Lease and
         the documents, instruments and agreements provided for herein will not
         result in any breach of or default under any other document, instrument

         Premises or any of Lessor's property is subject or bound.

         delivery and performance by Lessee of this Lease and of the other
         documents, instruments and agreements provided for herein. Lessee is

         terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations
         promulgated thereunder. Lessee's United States tax identification
         number is correctly set forth on the signature page of this Lease.

         accordance with all of its terms.

                  C. Litigation. There are no suits, actions, proceedings or
         investigations pending, or to the best of its knowledge, threatened

         subject or bound. The authorization, execution, delivery and
         performance of this Lease and the documents, instruments and agreements
         provided for herein will not result in any breach of or default under
         any document, instrument or agreement to which Lessee is a party or by
         which Lessee, the Premises or any of Lessee's property is subject or
         bound.

                  E. Licenses and Permits. Lessee has obtained all required

         in all material respects, and there have been no amendments to such
         financial statements, financial data and other documents and
         information since the date such financial statements, financial data,
         documents and other information were prepared or delivered to Lessor or

         financial statements, financial data, documents and other information

                 G. True Lease. Lessee intends for this Lease to be a "true
         lease" and not a financing lease, capital lease, mortgage, equitable
         mortgage, deed of trust, trust agreement, security agreement or other
         financing or trust arrangement, and the economic realities of this
         Lease are those of a true lease. The option to purchase provided for in
         this Lease may be exercised only by Lessee paying the greater of the
         fair market value of the Premises and the Purchase Price, which payment
         amount will not be nominal. The term of this Lease is less than the
         remaining economic life of the Premises. Lessee waives any claim or
         defense based upon the characterization of this Lease as anything other
         than a true lease, and Lessee stipulates and agrees not to challenge
         the validity, enforceability or characterization of the lease of the
         Premises as a true lease and further stipulates and agrees that nothing
         contained in this Lease creates or is intended to create a joint
         venture, partnership, equitable mortgage, trust, financing device or
         arrangement, security interest or the like. Lessee shall support the
         intent of the parties that the lease of the Premises pursuant to this
         Lease is a true lease and does not create a joint venture, partnership,
         equitable mortgage, trust, financing device or arrangement, security
         interest or the like, if, and to the extent that, any challenge occurs.

                 H. Liabilities of Lessor. Lessee is not liable for any
         indebtedness for money borrowed by Lessor and has not guaranteed any of
         the debts or obligations of Lessor.

         8.      NONCONSOLIDATION COVENANTS. Lessee covenants to Lessor for so
long as this Lease is in effect that:

                  (i) The annual financial statements of Lessee, including
         consolidated financial statements, if any, shall contain notes stating
         that (a) all of Lessor's assets are owned by Lessor and (b) Lessor is a
         separate entity with its own separate creditors which will be entitled
         to be satisfied out of Lessor's assets.

                  (ii) Lessee will not assume liability for any indebtedness for
         money borrowed by Lessor and does not, and will not, guarantee any of
         the debts or obligations of Lessor. Lessee will not hold itself out as
         being liable for any obligations or indebtedness of Lessor.

                  (iii) Lessee shall not and shall use its best efforts to cause
         its affiliates not to hold Lessor out to the public or to any
         individual creditors as being a unified entity with assets and
         liabilities in common with Lessee except that Lessor may be included in
         Lessee's or its affiliates' reports under the Securities Exchange Act
         of 1934, as amended, and its and their consolidated financial
         statements, as appropriate, provided such statements adequately
         disclose the ownership by Lessor of the Premises and that the Premises
         are available first to satisfy any creditors of Lessor.

                  (iv) Lessee shall conduct its business so as not to mislead
         others as to the separate identity of Lessor, and particularly will
         avoid the appearance of conducting business on behalf of Lessor.
         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral and written
         communications of Lessee, including, without limitation, letters,
         invoices, purchase orders, contracts, statements and loan applications,
         will be made in the name of Lessor which to the extent that to do
         otherwise would materially bear upon the maintenance of Lessor's
         separate identity.

                                       9
<PAGE>   10

                  (v) Lessee will not act in Lessor's name.

                  (vi) Where necessary and appropriate, Lessee shall disclose
         the independent business status of Lessor to creditors of Lessee, if
         any.

                  (vii) The resolutions, agreements and other instruments of
         Lessee, if any, underlying the transactions described in this Lease
         will be maintained by Lessee.

                  (viii) All transactions between Lessee and Lessor will be no
         less fair to each party than they could obtain on an arm's-length
         basis.

                  (ix) The books, records and accounts of Lessee shall at all
         times be maintained in a manner permitting the assets and liabilities
         of Lessor to be easily separated and readily ascertained from those of
         Lessee.

                  (x) Lessee will not direct, or otherwise control, the ongoing
         business decisions of Lessor.

                  (xi) Lessee will not file or cause to be filed a voluntary or
         involuntary petition in bankruptcy on behalf of or against Lessor, nor
         seek substantive consolidation of the assets and liabilities of Lessor
         and Lessee in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding during the Lease
         Term and for a period of 91 days after the Lease Term.

         9. RENTALS TO BE NET TO LESSOR. The Base Annual Rental payable
hereunder shall be net to Lessor, so that this Lease shall yield to Lessor the
rentals specified during the Lease Term, and that all costs, expenses and
obligations of every kind and nature whatsoever relating to the Premises shall
be performed and paid by Lessee.

         10. TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS. Lessee shall pay, prior to the earlier of
delinquency or the accrual of interest on the unpaid balance, all taxes and
assessments (or the applicable installments of such taxes and assessments) of
every type or nature assessed against or imposed upon the Premises or Lessee
during the Lease Term which affect in any manner the net return realized by
Lessor under this Lease, including without limitation, the following:



             A. All taxes and assessments upon the Premises or any part thereof
     and upon any Personalty and improvements located on the Premises, whether
     belonging to Lessor or Lessee, or any tax or charge levied in lieu of such
     taxes and assessments;

             B. All taxes, charges, license fees and or similar fees imposed by
     reason of the use of the Premises by Lessee; and

             C. All excise, transaction, privilege, license, sales, use and
     other taxes upon the rental or other payments hereunder, the leasehold
     estate of either party or the activities of either party pursuant to this
     Lease.

     All taxing authorities shall be instructed to send all tax and
assessment invoices to Lessor. After recording the information on such invoices,
Lessor shall forward such invoices to

                                       10
<PAGE>   11

Lessee for payment. Within 30 days after each tax and assessment payment is
required by this Section to be paid, Lessee shall provide Lessor with evidence
satisfactory to Lessor that such payment was made in a timely fashion. Lessee
may, at its own expense, contest or cause to be contested (in the case of any
item involving more than $10,000.00, after prior written notice to Lessor), by
appropriate legal proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence,
the amount or validity or application, in whole or in part, of any item
specified in the foregoing subsection A or lien therefor, provided that (i) such
proceeding shall suspend the collection thereof from the Premises or any
interest therein, (ii) neither the Premises nor any interest therein would be in
any danger of being sold, forfeited or lost by reason of such proceedings, (iii)
no Event of Default is occurring, and (iv) Lessee shall have deposited with
Lessor adequate reserves for the payment of the taxes, together with all
interest and penalties thereon, unless paid in full under protest, or Lessee
shall have furnished the security as may be required in the proceeding or as may
be required by Lessor to insure payment of any contested taxes.

         11. UTILITIES. Lessee shall contract, in its own name, for and pay when
due all charges for the connection and use of water, gas, electricity,
telephone, garbage collection, sewer use and other utility services supplied to
the Premises during the Lease Term. Under no circumstances shall Lessor be
responsible for any interruption of any utility service.

         12. INSURANCE. Throughout the Lease Term Lessee shall maintain with
respect to the Premises, at its sole expense, the following types and amounts of
insurance (which may be included under a blanket insurance policy if all the
other terms hereof are satisfied), in addition to such other insurance as Lessor
may reasonably require from time to time:

             A. Insurance against loss, damage or destruction by fire and other
         casualty, including theft, vandalism and malicious mischief, flood (if
         the Premises is in a location designated by the Federal Emergency
         Management Administration as a Special Flood Hazard Area), earthquake
         (if the Premises is in an area subject to destructive earthquakes
         within recorded history), boiler explosion (if there is any boiler upon
         the Premises), plate glass breakage, sprinkler damage (if the Premises
         has a sprinkler system), all matters covered by a standard extended
         coverage endorsement, all matters covered by a special coverage
         endorsement commonly known as an "all-risk" endorsement and such other
         risks as Lessor may reasonably require, insuring the Premises for not
         less than 100% of their full insurable replacement cost.

             B. Comprehensive general liability and property damage insurance,
         including a products liability clause, covering Lessor and Lessee
         against bodily injury liability, property damage liability and
         automobile bodily injury and property damage liability, including
         without limitation any liability arising out of the ownership,
         maintenance, repair, condition or operation of the Premises or
         adjoining ways, streets or sidewalks and, if applicable, insurance
         covering Lessor and Lessee against liability arising from the sale of
         liquor, beer or wine on the Premises. Such insurance policy or policies
         shall contain a broad form contractual liability endorsement under
         which the insurer agrees to insure Lessee's obligations under Section
         18 hereof to the extent insurable, and a "severability of interest"
         clause or endorsement which precludes the insurer from denying the
         claim of Lessee or Lessor because of the negligence or other acts of
         the other, shall be in amounts of not less

                                       11
<PAGE>   12

         than $1,000,000.00 per injury and occurrence with respect to any
         insured liability, whether for personal injury or property damage, or
         such higher limits as Lessor may reasonably require from time to time,
         and shall be of form and substance satisfactory to Lessor.

             C. State Worker's Compensation insurance in the statutorily
         mandated limits, employer's liability insurance with limits not less
         than $500,000.00 or such greater amount as Lessor may from time to time
         require and such other insurance as may be necessary to comply with
         applicable laws.

             D. Business income insurance or rental interruption insurance, as
         requested by Lessor, equal to 100% of the Base Annual Rental for a
         period of not less than six months.

             All insurance policies shall:

             (i)   Provide for a waiver of subrogation by the insurer as to
         claims against Lessor, its employees and agents and provide that such
         insurance cannot be unreasonably cancelled, invalidated or suspended on
         account of the conduct of Lessee, its officers, directors, employees or
         agents;

             (ii)  Provide that any "no other insurance" clause in the
         insurance policy shall exclude any policies of insurance maintained by
         Lessor and that the insurance policy shall not be brought into
         contribution with insurance maintained by Lessor;

             (iii) Contain a standard without contribution mortgage clause
         endorsement in favor of Lender and any other lender designated by
         Lessor or Lender;

             (iv)  Provide that the policy of insurance shall not be
         terminated, cancelled or substantially modified without at least thirty
         (30) days' prior written notice to Lessor, Lender and to any lender
         covered by any standard mortgage clause endorsement;

             (v)   Provide that the insurer shall not have the option to
         restore the Premises if Lessor elects to terminate this Lease in
         accordance with the terms hereof;

             (vi)  Be issued by insurance companies licensed to do business in
         the State and which are rated A:VI or better by Best's Insurance Guide
         or are otherwise approved by Lessor; and

             (vii) Provide that the insurer shall not deny a claim because of
         the negligence of Lessee, anyone acting for Lessee or any subtenant or
         other occupant of the Premises.

         It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing minimum limits
of insurance coverage shall not limit the liability of Lessee for its acts or
omissions as provided in this Lease.

                                       12
<PAGE>   13

All insurance policies (with the exception of worker's compensation insurance to
the extent not available under statutory law) shall designate Lessor, Lender and
any other mortgagee of Lessor as additional insureds as their interests may
appear and shall be payable as set forth in Section 21 hereof. All such policies
shall be written as primary policies, with deductibles not to exceed 10% of the
amount of coverage. Any other policies, including any policy now or hereafter
carried by Lessor or Lender, shall serve as excess coverage. Lessee shall
procure policies for all insurance for periods of not less than one year and
shall provide to Lessor and any lender of Lessor certificates of insurance or,
upon Lessor's request, duplicate originals of insurance policies evidencing that
insurance satisfying the requirements of this Lease is in effect at all times.

         13. TAX AND INSURANCE IMPOUND. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Lessor may require Lessee to pay to Lessor sums which will provide an
impound account (which shall not be deemed a trust fund) for paying up to the
next one year of taxes, assessments and/or insurance premiums. Upon such
requirement, Lessor will estimate the amounts needed for such purposes and will
notify Lessee to pay the same to Lessor in equal monthly installments, as nearly
as practicable, in addition to all other sums due under this Lease. Should
additional funds be required at any time, Lessee shall pay the same to Lessor
within ten (10) days of demand. Lessee shall advise Lessor of all taxes and
insurance bills which are due and shall cooperate fully with Lessor in assuring
that the same are paid. Lessor may deposit all impounded funds in accounts
insured by any federal or state agency and may commingle such funds with other
funds and accounts of Lessor. Interest or other gains from such funds, if any,
shall be the sole property of Lessor. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
by Lessee, Lessor may apply all impounded funds against any sums due from Lessee
to Lessor. Lessor shall give to Lessee an annual accounting showing all credits
and debits to and from such impounded funds received from Lessee.

         14. PAYMENT OF RENTAL AND OTHER SUMS. All rental and other sums which
Lessee is required to pay hereunder shall be the unconditional obligation of
Lessee and shall be payable in full when due without any setoff, abatement,
deferment, deduction or counterclaim whatsoever. Upon execution of this Lease,
Lessee shall establish arrangements whereby payments of the Base Monthly Rental,
any Additional Rental and impound payments, if any, are transferred by wire or
other means directly from Lessee's bank account to such account as Lessor may
designate; provided, however, upon notice from Lender to Lessee and Lessor
delivered in the manner set forth in Section 29, Lessee shall deliver all
payments of Base Monthly Rental as specified in such notice from Lender and
Lessor hereby acknowledges that Lessee shall receive full credit hereunder for
any payments so made to Lender as if such payment had been made to Lessor. Any
delinquent payment (that is, any payment not made within five calendar days
after the date when due) shall, in addition to any other remedy of Lessor, incur
a late charge of 5% (which late charge is intended to compensate Lessor for the
cost of handling and processing such delinquent payment and should not be
considered interest) and bear interest at the Default Rate, such interest to be
computed from and including the date such payment was due through and including
the date of the payment; provided, however, in no event shall Lessee be
obligated to pay a sum of late charge and interest higher than the maximum legal
rate then in effect.

                                       13

<PAGE>   14


         15. USE. A. Lessee shall use the Premises solely for the operation of a
Permitted Concept and for no other purpose. Lessee shall occupy the Premises
promptly following the Effective Date and, except as set forth below and except
during periods when the Premises is untenantable by reason of fire or other
casualty or condemnation (provided, however, during all such periods while the
Premises is untenantable, Lessee shall strictly comply with the terms and
conditions of Section 21 of this Lease), Lessee shall at all times during the
Lease Term occupy the Premises and shall diligently operate its business on the
Premises. Lessee may cease diligent operation of business at the Premises for a
period not to exceed 90 days and may do so only once within any five-year period
during the Lease Term. If Lessee does discontinue operation as permitted by this
Section, Lessee shall (i) give written notice to Lessor within 10 days after
Lessee elects to cease operation, (ii) provide adequate protection and
maintenance of the Premises during any period of vacancy and (iii) pay all costs
necessary to restore the Premises to their condition on the day operation of the
business ceased at such time as the Premises is reopened for Lessee's business
operations or other substituted use approved by Lessor as contemplated below.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Lessee shall pay the Base
Monthly Rental on the first day of each month during any period in which Lessee
discontinues operation.

         Lessee shall not, by itself or through any assignment, sublease or
other type of transfer, convert the Premises to an alternative use during the
Lease Term without Lessor's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Lessor may consider any or all of the following in determining whether
to grant its consent, without being deemed to be unreasonable: (i) whether the
rental paid to Lessor would be equal to or greater than the anticipated rental
assuming continued existing use, (ii) whether the proposed rental to be paid to
Lessor is reasonable considering the converted use of the Premises and the
customary rental prevailing in the community for such use, (iii) whether the
converted use will be consistent with the highest and best use of the Premises,
and (iv) whether the converted use will increase Lessor's risks or decrease the
value of the Premises.

         B. Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing Section 15.A, Lessee
may cease continuous operation of its business on a Premises for up to 120 days
if Lessee, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, determines in
good faith that the business at such Premises cannot be operated economically as
evidenced by an affidavit so stating signed by an officer of Lessee ("Uneconomic
Operations"). If Lessee does not, in good faith, permanently reopen the Premises
for operation as a Permitted Concept within 120 days of cessation, then, Lessee
shall, on or prior to the last day of the 120-day period, substitute the
Premises in accordance with Section 58 of this Lease. If Lessee fails to
substitute the Premises as contemplated in this Section B in accordance with the
requirements of Section 13 of the Loan Agreement, such failure shall be an Event
of Default under this Lease and shall entitle Lessor to immediately exercise all
remedies available at law or in equity and as set forth in this Lease.

         16. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, RESTRICTIONS, COVENANTS AND ENCUMBRANCES.

         A. Lessee's use and occupation of the Premises, and the condition
thereof, shall, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, comply fully with (i) all
applicable statutes, regulations, rules, ordinances, codes, licenses, permits,
orders and approvals of each Governmental Authority, including, without
limitation, all health, building, fire, safety and other codes, ordinances and
requirements

                                       14

<PAGE>   15


and all applicable standards of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, and all
policies or rules of common law, in each case, as amended, and any judicial or
administrative interpretation thereof, including any judicial order, consent,
decree or judgment applicable to Lessee (collectively, "Applicable
Regulations"), and (ii) all restrictions, covenants and encumbrances of record
with respect to the Premises.

         B. Lessee will not permit any act or condition to exist on or about the
Premises which will increase any insurance rate thereon, except when such acts
are required in the normal course of its business and Lessee shall pay for such
increase.

         C. Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this
Section, Lessee agrees that it shall be responsible for complying in all
respects with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as such act may be
amended from time to time, and all regulations promulgated thereunder
(collectively, the "ADA"), as it affects the Premises, including, but not
limited to, making required "readily achievable" changes to remove any
architectural or communications barriers, and providing auxiliary aids and
services within the Premises. Lessee further agrees that any and all alterations
made to the Premises during the Lease Term will comply with the requirements of
the ADA. All plans for alterations which must be submitted to Lessor under the
provisions of Section 18 must include a statement from a licensed Architect or
Engineer certifying that they have reviewed the plans, and that the plans comply
with all applicable provisions of the ADA. Any subsequent approval or consent to
the plans by the Lessor shall not be deemed to be a representation of Lessor's
part that the plans comply with the ADA, which obligation shall remain with
Lessee. Lessee agrees that it will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the
Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses caused by, incurred or
resulting from Lessee's failure to comply with its obligations under this
Section.

         D. Lessee represents and warrants to Lessor and Environmental Insurer
as follows:

                 (i)   The Premises and Lessee are not in violation of, or
         subject to, any existing, pending or to the best of Lessee's knowledge
         threatened investigation or inquiry by any Governmental Authority or to
         any remedial obligations under any Environmental Laws, and this
         representation and warranty would continue to be true and correct
         following disclosure to each Governmental Authority of all relevant
         facts, conditions and circumstances, if any, pertaining to the
         Premises. If any such investigation or inquiry is subsequently
         initiated, Lessee will promptly notify Lessor.

                 (ii)  Lessee has not obtained and is not required to obtain any
         permits, licenses or similar authorizations to construct, occupy,
         operate or use any buildings, improvements, fixtures and equipment
         forming a part of the Premises by reason of any Environmental Laws.

                 (iii) No Hazardous Materials have been used, handled,
         manufactured, generated, produced, stored, treated, processed,
         transferred, disposed of or otherwise Released by Lessee, and to the
         best of Lessee's knowledge, by any third party in, on, under, from or
         about the Premises, except in De Minimis Amounts.


                                       15
<PAGE>   16

                  (iv) The Premises do not contain Hazardous Materials other
         than in De Minimis Amounts in full compliance with all Environmental
         laws.

                  (v) To the best of Lessee's knowledge, there is no threat of
         any Release migrating to the Premises.

                  (vi) There is no present, or to the best of Lessee's
         knowledge, past non-compliance with Environmental Laws, or with permits
         issued pursuant thereto, in connection with the Premises.

                  (vii) Lessee has not received any written or oral notice or
         other communication from any person or entity (including but not
         limited to a Governmental Authority) relating to Hazardous Materials or
         Remediation thereof, of possible liability of any person or entity
         pursuant to any Environmental Law, other environmental conditions in
         connection with the Premises, or any actual or potential administrative
         or judicial proceedings in connection with any of the foregoing.

                  (viii) Lessee has truthfully and fully provided to Lessor, in
         writing, any and all information relating to environmental conditions
         in, on, under or from the Premises that is known to Lessee and that is
         contained in Lessee's files and records, including but not limited to
         any reports relating to Hazardous Materials in, on, under or from the
         Premises.

         E.       Lessee covenants to Lessor and Environmental Insurer during
the Lease Term that: (i) all uses and operations on or of the Premises, whether
by Lessee or any other person or entity, shall be in compliance with all
Environmental Laws and permits issued pursuant thereto; (ii) there shall be no
Releases in, on, under or from the Premises, except in De Minimis Amounts; (iii)
there shall be no Hazardous Materials or Regulated Substances in, on, or under
the Premises, except in De Minimis Amounts; (iv) Lessee shall keep the Premises
free and clear of all liens and other encumbrances imposed pursuant to any
Environmental Law, whether due to any act or omission of Lessee or any other
person or entity (the "Environmental Liens"); (v) Lessee shall, at its sole cost
and expense, fully and expeditiously cooperate in all activities pursuant to
subsection (1) below, including but not limited to providing all relevant
information and making knowledgeable persons available for interviews; (vi)
Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, perform any environmental site
assessment or other investigation of environmental conditions in connection with
the Premises as may be reasonably requested by Lessor (including but not limited
to sampling, testing and analysis of soil, water, air, building materials and
other materials and substances whether solid, liquid or gas), and share with
Lessor and Environmental Insurer the reports and other results thereof, and
Lessor, Environmental Insurer and the other Indemnified Parties shall be
entitled to rely on such reports and other results thereof; (vii) Lessee shall,
at its sole cost and expense, comply with all reasonable written requests of
Lessor to (1) reasonably effectuate Remediation of any condition (including but
not limited to a Release) in, on, under or from the Premises; (2) comply with
any Environmental Law; (3) comply with any directive from any Governmental
Authority; and (4) take any other reasonable action necessary or appropriate for
protection of human health or the environment; (viii) Lessee shall not do or
allow any tenant or other user of the Premises to do any act that materially
increases the dangers to human health or the environment, poses an unreasonable
risk of harm to any person or entity (whether on or off the Premises), impairs
or may impair the

                                       16

<PAGE>   17


value of the Premises, is contrary to any requirement of any insurer,

Releases or Threatened Releases in, on, under, from or migrating towards the
Premises; (B) any non-compliance with any Environmental Laws related in any way
to the Premises; (C) any actual or potential Environmental Lien; (D) any
required or proposed Remediation of environmental conditions relating to the
Premises; and (E) any written or oral notice or other communication which Lessee
becomes aware from any source whatsoever (including but not limited to a
Governmental Authority) relating in any way to Hazardous Materials or
Remediation thereof, possible liability of any person or entity pursuant to any
Environmental Law, other environmental conditions in connection with the
Premises, or any actual or potential administrative or judicial proceedings in
connection with anything referred to in this Section.

         F. Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend,
indemnify, release and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against
any and all Losses (excluding Losses arising out of any of the Indemnified
Parties' gross negligence or willful misconduct) and costs of Remediation
(whether or not performed voluntarily), engineers' fees, environmental
consultants' fees, and costs of investigation (including but not limited to
sampling, testing, and analysis of soil, water, air, building materials and
other materials and substances whether solid, liquid or gas) imposed upon or

(viii) any past, present or threatened injury to, destruction of or loss of
natural resources in any way connected with the Premises, including but not
limited to costs to investigate and assess such injury, destruction or loss;
(ix) any acts of Lessee, any person or entity affiliated with Lessee or any
other tenant or user of the Premises in arranging for disposal or treatment, or
arranging with a transporter for transport for disposal or treatment, of
Hazardous Materials owned or possessed by Lessee, any person or entity
affiliated with Lessee or any other tenant or other user of the Premises, at any
facility or incineration

                                       17

vessel owned or operated by another person or entity and containing such or
similar Hazardous Materials; (x) any acts of Lessee, any person or entity
affiliated with Lessee or any other tenant or other user of the Premises, in
accepting any Hazardous Materials for transport to disposal or treatment
facilities, incineration vessels or sites selected by Lessee, any person or
entity affiliated with Lessee or any other tenant or other user of the Premises,
from which there is a Release, or a Threatened Release of any Hazardous Material
which causes the incurrence of costs for Remediation; (xi) any personal injury,
wrongful death, or property damage arising under any statutory or common law or
tort law theory, including but not limited to damages assessed for the
maintenance of a private or public nuisance or for the conducting of an
abnormally dangerous activity on or near the Premises; and (xii) any
misrepresentation or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty or material
breach or failure to perform any covenants or other obligations pursuant to this
Section.

        G.  Upon reasonable prior notice, Lessor, Lender, any other lender to
Lessor, Environmental Insurer and any other person or entity designated by
Lessor, including but not limited to any receiver, any representative of a
Governmental Authority, and any environmental consultant, shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to enter upon the Premises at all reasonable times
(including, without limitation, in connection with a proposed sale or conveyance
of the Premises or a proposed financing or refinancing secured by the Premises
or in connection with the exercise of any remedies set forth in this Lease, the
Mortgages or the other Loan Documents or for any other commercially reasonable
purpose) to assess any and all aspects of the environmental condition of the
Premises and its use, including but not limited to conducting any environmental
assessment or audit (the scope of which shall be determined in Lessor's sole and
absolute discretion) and taking samples of soil, groundwater or other water,
air, or building materials, and conducting other invasive testing. Lessee shall
cooperate with and provide access to Lessor, Lender, Environmental Insurer and
any such person or entity designated by Lessor. Any such assessment or
investigation shall be at Lessee's sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any such assessment or investigation ordered for the purpose of
Lender's assignment of the Loan (as defined in the Loan Agreement) shall be at
Lender's cost and expense.

        H.  The obligations of Lessee and the rights and remedies of Lessor
under the foregoing subsections D through G shall survive the termination,
expiration and/or release of this Lease.

        I.  In addition to the other requirements of this Section, Lessee shall,
at all times throughout the Lease Term, comply with all Applicable Regulations.

        17. CONDITION OF PREMISES; MAINTENANCE. Lessee has inspected, or had
the opportunity to inspect, the Premises and hereby accepts the Premises "AS IS"
and "WHERE IS" with no representation or warranty of Lessor as to the condition
thereof. The Premises shall be kept in good, clean, sanitary and working
condition; and Lessee shall at all times at its own expense maintain, repair and
replace, as necessary, the Premises, including all portions of the Premises,
whether or not the Premises were in such condition on the Effective Date.

                                       18

<PAGE>   19


         18. WASTE; ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS. Lessee shall not commit actual
or constructive waste upon the Premises. During the Lease Term, Lessee shall not
alter the exterior, structural, plumbing or electrical elements of the Premises
in any manner without the consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or conditioned; provided, however, Lessee may undertake
nonstructural alterations to the Premises costing less than $50,000.00 without
Lessor's consent. If Lessor's consent is required hereunder and Lessor consents
to the making of any such alterations, the same shall be made by Lessee at
Lessee's sole expense by a licensed contractor and according to plans and
specifications approved by Lessor and subject to such other conditions as Lessor
shall require. Any work at any time commenced by Lessee on the Premises shall be
prosecuted diligently to completion, shall be of good workmanship and materials
and shall comply fully with all the terms of this Lease. Upon completion of any
alterations, Lessee shall promptly provide Lessor with (i) evidence of full
payment to all laborers and materialmen contributing to the alterations, (ii) an
architect's certificate certifying the alterations to have been completed in
conformity with the plans and specifications, (iii) a certificate of occupancy
(if the alterations are of such a nature as would require the issuance of a
certificate of occupancy), and (iv) any other documents or information
reasonably requested by Lessor. Lessee shall execute and file or record, as
appropriate, a "Notice of Non-Responsibility," or any equivalent notice
permitted under applicable law in the state where the Premises is located. Any
addition to or alteration of the Premises shall be deemed a part of the Premises
and belong to Lessor, and Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lessor such
instruments as Lessor may require to evidence the ownership by Lessor of such
addition or alteration.

         19. INDEMNIFICATION. Lessee shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold
harmless each of the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses
(excluding Losses suffered by an Indemnified Party arising out of such
Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct) caused by, incurred
or resulting from Lessee's operations of or relating in any manner to the
Premises, whether relating to their original design or construction, latent
defects, alteration, maintenance, use by Lessee or any person thereon,
supervision or otherwise, or from any breach of, upon an Event of Default under,
or failure to perform, any term or provision of this Lease by Lessee, its
officers, employees, agents or other persons. It is expressly understood and
agreed that Lessee's obligations under this Section shall survive the expiration
or earlier termination of this Lease for any reason.

         20. QUIET ENJOYMENT. So long as Lessee shall pay the rental and other
sums herein provided and shall keep and perform all of the terms, covenants and
conditions on its part herein contained, Lessee shall have, subject and
subordinate to Lessor's rights herein, the right to the peaceful and quiet
occupancy of the Premises.

         21. CONDEMNATION OR DESTRUCTION. A. In case of a taking of all or any
part of the Premises or the commencement of any proceedings or negotiations
which might result in a taking for any public or quasi-public purpose by any
lawful power or authority by exercise of the right of condemnation or eminent
domain or by agreement between Lessor, Lessee and those authorized to exercise
such right ("Taking"), Lessee will promptly give written notice thereof to
Lessor, generally describing the nature and extent of such Taking and including
copies of any documents or notices received in connection therewith.

                                       19
<PAGE>   20

         B. In case of a Taking of the whole of any of the Premises, other than
for temporary use ("Total Taking"), this Lease shall terminate with respect to
such Premises as of the date of the Total Taking, but this Lease shall otherwise
continue in full force and effect with respect to the remaining Premises. From
and after the date of a Total Taking, the Base Annual Rental shall be reduced by
an amount equal to the product of (i) the net award or payment resulting from
such Total Taking, after deducting all costs, fees and expenses incident to the
collection of such award of payment (the "Net Amount"), and (ii) 11%. If the
date of such Total Taking is other than the first day of a month, the Base
Annual Rental payable for the month in which such Total Taking occurs shall be
apportioned based on such Adjustment as of the date of the Total Taking.
Lessee's obligations to Lessor under Section 18 of this Lease with respect to
such Premises and Lessee's obligation to pay all other sums of money under this
Lease (whether payable to Lessor or to a third-party) which accrue prior to the
date of such Total Taking shall survive the termination of this Lease with
respect to such Premises. Total Taking shall include a taking of substantially
all the Premises if, in the sole determination of Lessor, the remainder of the
Premises is not useable and cannot be made useable for the purposes provided
herein. Lessor shall be entitled to receive the entire award or payment in
connection with any taking of the Premises without deduction for any estate
vested in Lessee by this Lease. Lessee hereby expressly assigns to Lessor all of
its right, title and interest in and to every such award or payment and agrees
that Lessee shall not be entitled to any award or payment for the value of
Lessee's leasehold interest in the Lease. Lessee shall be entitled to claim and
receive any award or payment from the condemning authority expressly granted for
the taking of Lessee's Personalty, the interruption of its business and moving
expenses, but only if such claim or award does not adversely affect or interfere
with the prosecution of Lessor's claim for the Taking. Lessee shall promptly
send Lessor copies of all correspondence and pleadings relating to any such
claim.

         C. In case of a temporary use of all or any part of the Premises by a
Taking ("Temporary Taking"), this Lease shall remain in full force and effect
without any reduction of Base Annual Rental, Additional Rental or any other sum
payable hereunder. Except as provided below, Lessee shall be entitled to the
entire award for a Temporary Taking, whether paid by damages, rent or otherwise,
unless the period of occupation and use by the condemning authorities shall
extend beyond the date of expiration of this Lease, in which case the award made
for such Taking shall be apportioned between Lessor and Lessee as of the date of
such expiration. At the termination of any such Temporary Taking, Lessee will,
at its own cost and expense and pursuant to the terms of Section 18 above,
promptly commence and complete the restoration of the Premises; provided,
however, Lessee shall not be required to restore the Premises if the Lease Term
shall expire prior to, or within one year after, the date of termination of the
Temporary Taking, and in such event Lessor shall be entitled to recover all
damages and awards arising out of the failure of the condemning authority to
repair and restore the Premises at the expiration of such Temporary Taking.

         D. In the event of a Taking of less than all of the Premises for other
than a temporary use ("Partial Taking") or of damage or destruction to all or
any part of the Premises, all awards, compensation or damages shall be paid to
Lessor, and Lessor shall have the option to (i) terminate this Lease, provided
that Lessor shall have obtained Lender's prior written consent, by notifying
Lessee within 60 days after Lessee gives Lessor notice of such damage or
destruction or that title has vested in the taking authority or (ii) continue
this Lease in effect,

                                       20
<PAGE>   21

which election may be evidenced by either a notice from Lessor to Lessee or
Lessor's failure to notify Lessee that Lessor has elected to terminate this
Lease within such 60-day period. Lessee shall have a period of 60 days after
Lessor's notice that it has elected to terminate this Lease during which to
elect to continue this Lease on the terms herein provided. If Lessee does not
elect to continue this Lease or shall fail during such 60-day period to notify
Lessor of Lessee's intent to continue this Lease, then this Lease shall
terminate as of the last day of the month during which such period expired.
Lessee shall then immediately vacate and surrender the Premises, all obligations
of either party hereunder shall cease as of the date of termination (provided,
however, Lessee's obligations to Lessor under Section 19 and Lessee's
obligations to pay Base Annual Rental, Additional Rental and all other sums
(whether payable to Lessor or a third-party) accruing under this Lease prior to
the date of termination shall survive such termination), the Base Annual Rental
shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (i) the Net Award
resulting from such Taking and (ii) 11%, and Lessor may retain all such awards,
compensation or damages. If Lessor elects not to terminate this Lease, or if
Lessor elects to terminate this Lease but Lessee elects to continue this Lease,
then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect on the following terms:
(i) all Base Annual Rental, Additional Rental and other sums and obligations due
under this Lease shall continue unabated, and (ii) Lessee shall promptly
commence and diligently prosecute restoration of the Premises to the same
condition, as nearly as practicable, as prior to such partial condemnation,
damage or destruction as approved by Lessor. Lessor shall promptly make
available in installments as restoration progresses an amount up to but not
exceeding the amount of any award, compensation or damages received by Lessor,
upon request of Lessee accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor
that such amount has been paid or is due and payable and is properly a part of
such costs and that Lessee has complied with the terms of Section 18 above in
connection with the restoration. Lessor shall be entitled to keep any portion of
such award, compensation or damages which may be in excess of the cost of
restoration, and Lessee shall bear all additional costs, fees and expenses of
such restoration in excess of the amount of any such award, compensation or
damages.

         E. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of any Taking or any
damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises or at any time
thereafter an Event of Default has occurred and such Event of Default shall be
continuing, Lessor is hereby authorized and empowered but shall not be
obligated, in the name and on behalf of Lessee and otherwise, to file and
prosecute Lessee's claim, if any, for an award on account of such Taking or for
insurance proceeds on account of such damage or destruction and to collect such
award or proceeds and apply the same, after deducting all costs, fees and
expenses incident to the collection thereof, to the curing of such Event of
Default and any other then existing Event of Default under this Lease and/or to
the payment of any amounts owed by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease, in such
order, priority and proportions as Lessor in its discretion shall deem proper.

         F. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 21 shall be
construed as limiting or otherwise adversely affecting the representations,
warranties, covenants and characterizations in and of this Lease, including,
without limitation, those provisions set forth in Section 3 of this Lease.


                                       21
<PAGE>   22


         22. INSPECTION. Lessor and its authorized representatives shall have
the right, upon giving reasonable notice, to enter the Premises or any part
thereof and inspect the same and make photographic or other evidence concerning
Lessee's compliance with the terms of this Lease. Lessor and its authorized
representatives will use reasonable efforts to minimize any inconvenience or
interference with Lessee's business while conducting such entry and inspection.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee hereby waives any claim for damages for
any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Lessee's business, any loss
of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises and any other loss occasioned by
such entry, unless such entry is due to Lessor's or its authorized
representatives' gross negligence or willful misconduct. Lessee shall keep and
maintain at Lessee's chief executive office full, complete and appropriate books
of account and records of Lessee's business relating to the Premises in
accordance with GAAP. To the extent permitted by law, Lessee's books and records
shall at all times be open for inspection by Lessor or Lender, their respective
auditors or other authorized representatives and shall show such information as
is reasonably necessary to determine compliance with Lessor's obligations under
the Loan Documents.

         23. OPTION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTIES. Lessee shall have the option
during the 90 days immediately preceding the tenth and twentieth anniversaries
of this Lease and during the 90-day period immediately preceding the end of the
first and second optional extension terms set forth in Section 28 of this Lease,
if applicable (as applicable, the "Window"), to elect to purchase the Premises
for the greater of (i) their fair market value (which fair market value shall be
determined in the manner set forth below) or (ii) the Purchase Price (provided
that the Purchase Price shall be adjusted for purposes of this Section 23 to
include only those Premises subject to the Lease at the time the option to
purchase is consummated). Lessee shall elect such option by giving written
notice (the "Option Notice") to Lessor of its intention to do so, and the
closing of such purchase must occur during the first 90 days (the "Purchase
Period") following the end of the applicable Window for which the Option Notice
was given. Within 90 days of Lessor's receipt of the Option Notice, Lessor
shall, at Lessee's sole expense, retain an independent MAI appraiser to prepare
an appraisal of the fair market value of the Premises, including any additions
or renovations thereto. In determining the fair market value of the Premises,
the appraiser shall utilize the cost, income and sales comparison approaches to
value. In utilizing the income approach, the appraiser shall determine the
"leased fee" value of the Premises, which shall be arrived at by considering (i)
the income that would be produced by this Lease through the end of the fully
extended Lease Term, and (ii) any other factors relating to such approach which
the appraiser shall deem relevant in his sole discretion. The highest amount
which results from the calculation of each of the cost approach, the income
approach, and the sales comparison approach, all as determined in accordance
with the provisions of this Section, shall constitute the fair market value of
the Premises for purposes of this Section. If within 20 days after being
notified of the result of such appraisal Lessee elects to reject that appraisal,
then the first appraisal shall become null and void and Lessor shall nominate to
Lessee a list of not less than three independent MAI appraisers who are
experienced with appraising property similar to the Premises, and Lessee shall
select one such appraiser. Within 60 days of such selection, Lessor shall retain
such appraiser to prepare an appraisal of the Premises in the same manner
described above. Within 20 days after the results of that appraisal have been
delivered to Lessee, Lessee shall notify Lessor of its election to exercise this
option to purchase the Premises for the price set forth in such appraisal. If
such notice of exercise is not received by Lessor within such

                                       22
<PAGE>   23

20-day period, the option for such time period shall lapse and this Lease shall
remain in full force and effect.

         Upon exercise of this option, Lessor and Lessee shall open an escrow
account with a recognized title insurance or trust company selected by Lessor.
Such escrow shall be subject to the standard escrow instructions of the escrow
agent, to the extent they are not inconsistent herewith. At or before the close
of escrow, Lessor shall deliver to the escrow agent its special warranty deed
conveying to Lessee all of Lessor's right, title and interest in the Premises
free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except liens for taxes and
assessments and easements, covenants and restrictions of record which were
attached to the Premises as of the date hereof, attached during the Lease Term
through Lessee's action or inaction, as the case may be, have been granted by
Lessor in lieu of a taking by the power of eminent domain or the like, have been
approved by Lessee, or which do not materially adversely affect the use and
quiet enjoyment (as enjoyed on the date of this Lease) of any of the Premises as
a Permitted Concept. In the event Lessor is unable to convey title as required,
Lessee shall have the right to accept such title as Lessor can convey or elect
not to consummate its exercise of the option, in which case the option for such
time period shall lapse and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
Both Lessor and Lessee agree to execute a purchase agreement, escrow
instructions and such other instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to
consummate the sale of the Premises in the manner herein provided. All cost of
exercise of the option, including, but not limited to, escrow fees, title
insurance fees, recording costs or fees, attorneys' fees (including those of
Lessor), appraisal fees, stamp taxes and transfer fees shall be borne by Lessee.
Lessee shall continue to pay and perform all of its obligations under this Lease
until the close of escrow which in no event shall occur after the date of the
expiration of the Lease Term or the expiration of any extension thereof. The
purchase price paid by Lessee in exercising this option shall be paid to Lessor
or to such person or entity as Lessor may direct at closing in immediately
available funds. Lessee shall not have the right to exercise this option or
consummate the exercise thereof if at the time of exercise or consummation there
shall be an Event of Default or if any condition shall exist which upon the
giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of
Default by Lessee under this Lease.

         The failure of Lessee to consummate the purchase of the Premises as
contemplated herein shall not release Lessee from its obligations under this
Lease and the Lease shall remain in full force and effect until the expiration
of the Lease Term or applicable extension period. The escrow shall close within
the Purchase Period, or Lessor, at its option, may terminate Lessee's option to
purchase the Premises during such time period. The closing date may be extended
for a reasonable period of time to permit Lessor to cure title defects or to
permit either party to cure any other defects or defaults provided each party is
diligently seeking to cure such defect or default and Lessee continues to
perform its obligation hereunder.

         Lessee may not sell, assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise dispose
of the option granted herein or any interest therein, except in conjunction with
a permitted assignment of Lessee's entire interest herein and then only to the
assignee thereof. Any attempted assignment of this option which is contrary to
the terms of this paragraph shall be deemed to be an Event of Default under this
Lease and the option granted herein shall be void.

         24. DEFAULT, CONDITIONAL LIMITATIONS, REMEDIES AND MEASURE OF DAMAGES.
A. Each of the following shall be an event of default under this Lease (each, an
"Event of Default"):

                  (i) If any representation or warranty of Lessee set forth in
         this Lease is false in any material respect, or if Lessee renders any
         false statement or account;

                  (ii) If any rent or other monetary sum due under this Lease is
         not paid within five days from the date when due; provided, however,
         notwithstanding the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lessor
         shall not be entitled to exercise its remedies set forth below unless
         and until Lessor shall have given Lessee notice thereof and a period of
         five days from the delivery of such notice shall have elapsed without
         such Event of Default being cured;

                  (iii) If Lessee fails to pay, prior to delinquency, any taxes,
         assessments or other charges the failure of which to pay will result in
         the imposition of a lien against the Premises pursuant to Applicable
         Regulations;

                  (iv) If Lessee becomes insolvent within the meaning of the
         Code, files or notifies Lessor that it intends to file a petition under
         the Code, initiates a proceeding under any similar law or statute
         relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, winding up or
         adjustment of debts (collectively, hereinafter, an "Action"), becomes
         the subject of either a petition under the Code or an Action, or is not
         generally paying its debts as the same become due;

                  (v)  If Lessee vacates or abandons the Premises  subject to
         the terms and conditions of Section 15 above;

                  (vi) If Lessee fails to observe or perform any of the other
         covenants, conditions or obligations of Lessee in this Lease; provided,
         however, if any such failure does not involve the payment of any
         monetary sum, is not willful or intentional, does not place any rights
         or property of Lessor in immediate jeopardy, and is within the
         reasonable power of Lessee to promptly cure after receipt of notice
         thereof, all as determined by Lessor in its reasonable discretion, then
         such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder, unless
         otherwise expressly provided herein, unless and until Lessor shall have
         given Lessee notice thereof and a period of 30 days shall have elapsed,
         during which period Lessee may correct or cure such failure, upon
         failure of which an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred
         hereunder without further notice or demand of any kind being required.
         If such failure cannot reasonably be cured within such 30 day period,
         as determined by Lessor in its reasonable discretion, and Lessee is
         diligently pursuing a cure of such failure, then Lessee shall have a
         reasonable period to cure such failure beyond such 30 day period, which
         shall in no event exceed 120 days after receiving notice of such
         failure from Lessor. If Lessee shall fail to correct or cure such
         failure within such 120-day period, an Event of Default shall be deemed
         to have occurred hereunder without further notice or demand of any kind
         being required;

                  (vii) If a final, nonappealable judgment is rendered by a
         court against Lessee which has a material adverse effect on the ability
         to conduct business at the Premises as a

                                       24

<PAGE>   25

         Permitted Concept, or which does not have a material adverse
         effect on the ability to conduct business at the Premises as a
         Permitted Concept but which is in the amount of $100,000.00 or more,
         and in either event is not discharged or provision made for such
         discharge within 60 days from the date of entry thereof;

            (viii) If with Lessee's reasonable consent, Lessor shall have
         elected to substitute a Substitute Premises for the Premises in
         accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the Loan Agreement, the
         failure of Lessee, on or before the date of the closing of such
         substitution, to enter into a lease with Lessor for the Substitute
         Premises on the same terms, conditions and provisions of this Lease;

            (x)    If Lender shall have given Lessor notice of a breach of
         the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio requirement under the Loan Agreement
         and Lessor shall have notified Lessee that the Fixed Charge Coverage
         Ratio requirement under this Lease has been breached and that Lessor
         has elected to substitute a Substitute Premises for the Premises in
         accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the Loan Agreement, the
         failure of Lessee, on or before the date of the closing of such
         substitution, to enter into a lease with Lessor for the Substitute
         Premises on the same terms, conditions and provisions of this Lease;

            (xi)   If there is an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement
         which results from a breach or default by Lessor under Section 7.B of
         the Loan Agreement.

            (xii)  If Lender shall have given Lessor notice of a breach of the
         Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio requirement under the Loan Agreement
         and Lessor shall have notified Lessee that the Fixed Charge Coverage
         Ratio requirement under this Lease has been breached and that Lessor is
         making a payment with respect to the applicable Note in order to cure
         Lessor's breach of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio requirement under
         the Loan Agreement (the "Loan FCCR Payment"), the failure of Lessee to
         pay to Lessor an amount equal to the Loan FCCR Payment (the "Lease FCCR
         Payment") on or before the date that Lessor is required to pay the Loan
         FCCR Payment to Lender. Promptly after Lessee's payment of the Lease
         FCCR Payment, Lessor and Lessee agree to execute an amendment to this
         Lease in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lessor and Lessee
         reducing the Base Annual Rental to an equitable amount to be agreed
         upon by Lessor and Lessee in good faith after taking into account the
         Lease FCCR Payment, but in no event shall the reduced Base Annual
         Rental be less than the aggregate debt service amount payable under the
         Notes over a one-year period (after taking into account any reduction
         in such debt service amount after payment of the Loan FCCR Payment).

            (xiii) If Lessee fails or refuses to sign an estoppel certificate
         as required under Section 26 of this Lease within ten (10) days
         following a request by Lessor.

         B. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, with or without notice
or demand, except the notice prior to default required under certain
circumstances by subsection A. above or such other notice as may be required by
statute and cannot be waived by Lessee (all other notices being hereby waived),
Lessor shall be entitled to exercise, at its option, concurrently,


                                       25
<PAGE>   26

successively, or in any combination, all remedies available at law or in equity,
including without limitation, any one or more of the following:

                  (i)   To terminate this Lease, whereupon Lessee's right to
         possession of the Premises shall cease and this Lease, except as to
         Lessee's liability, shall be terminated.

                  (ii)  To reenter and take possession of the Premises, any or
         all Personalty of Lessee and, to the extent permissible, all
         franchises, licenses, area development agreements, permits and other
         rights or privileges of Lessee pertaining to the use and operation of
         the Premises and to expel Lessee and those claiming under or through
         Lessee, without being deemed guilty in any manner of trespass or
         becoming liable for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, without
         resort to legal or judicial process, procedure or action. No notice
         from Lessor hereunder or under a forcible entry and detainer statute or
         similar law shall constitute an election by Lessor to terminate this
         Lease unless such notice specifically so states. If Lessee shall, after
         default, voluntarily give up possession of the Premises to Lessor,
         deliver to Lessor or its agents the keys to the Premises, or both, such
         actions shall be deemed to be in compliance with Lessor's rights and
         the acceptance thereof by Lessor or its agents shall not be deemed to
         constitute a termination of the Lease. Lessor reserves the right
         following any reentry and/or reletting to exercise its right to
         terminate this Lease by giving Lessee written notice thereof, in which
         event this Lease will terminate as specified in said notice.

                  (iii) To seize all Personalty which Lessee owns or in which it
         has an interest, in which Lessor shall have a landlord's lien and/or
         security interest, and to dispose thereof in accordance with the laws
         prevailing at the time and place of such seizure or to remove all or
         any portion of such property and cause the same to be stored in a
         public warehouse or elsewhere at Lessee's sole expense, without
         becoming liable for any loss or damage resulting therefrom and without
         resorting to legal or judicial process, procedure or action.

                  (iv)  To bring an action against Lessee for any damages
         sustained by Lessor or any equitable relief available to Lessor.

                  (v)   To relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term
         or terms (including a term which extends beyond the original Lease
         Term), at such rentals and upon such other terms as Lessor, in its sole
         discretion, may determine, with all proceeds received from such
         reletting being applied to the rental and other sums due from Lessee in
         such order as Lessor may, in it sole discretion, determine, which other
         sums include, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage
         commissions, attorneys' fees and expenses, employee expenses,
         alteration, remodeling and repair costs and expenses of preparing for
         such reletting. Except to the extent required by applicable law, Lessor
         shall have no obligation to relet the Premises or any part thereof and
         shall in no event be liable for refusal or failure to relet the
         Premises or any part thereof, or, in the event of any such reletting,
         for refusal or failure to collect any rent due upon such reletting, and
         no such refusal or failure shall operate to relieve Lessee of any
         liability under this Lease or otherwise to affect any such liability.
         Lessor reserves the right following any reentry and/or reletting to
         exercise its right to terminate this Lease by giving Lessee written
         notice thereof, in which event this Lease will terminate as specified
         in said notice.

                                       26

<PAGE>   27

                  (vi)   To accelerate and recover from Lessee all rent and
         other monetary sums due and owing and scheduled to become due and owing
         under this Lease both before and after the date of such breach for the
         entire original scheduled Lease Term.

                  (vii)  To recover from Lessee all costs and expenses,
         including attorneys' fees, court costs, expert witness fees, costs of
         tests and analyses, travel and accommodation expenses, deposition and
         trial transcripts, copies and other similar costs and fees, paid or
         incurred by Lessor as a result of such breach, regardless of whether or
         not legal proceedings are actually commenced.

                  (viii) To immediately or at any time thereafter, and with or
         without notice, at Lessor's sole option but without any obligation to
         do so, correct such breach or default and charge Lessee all costs and
         expenses incurred by Lessor therein. Any sum or sums so paid by Lessor,
         together with interest at the then existing maximum legal rate, but not
         higher than 15% per annum, shall be deemed to be additional rent
         hereunder and shall be immediately due from Lessee to Lessor. Any such
         acts by Lessor in correcting Lessee's breaches or defaults hereunder
         shall not be deemed to cure said breaches or defaults or constitute any
         waiver of Lessor's right to exercise any or all remedies set forth
         herein.

                  (ix)   To immediately or at any time thereafter, and with or
         without notice, except as required herein, set off any money of Lessee
         held by Lessor under this Lease against any sum owing by Lessee
         hereunder.

                  (x)    To seek any equitable relief available to Lessor,
         including, without limitation, the right of specific performance.

                  All powers and remedies given by this Section to Lessor,
         subject to applicable law, shall be cumulative and not exclusive of one
         another or of any other right or remedy or of any other powers and
         remedies available to Lessor under this Lease, by judicial proceedings
         or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants
         and agreements of Lessee contained in this Lease, and no delay or
         omission of Lessor to exercise any right or power accruing upon the
         occurrence of any Event of Default shall impair any other or subsequent
         Event of Default or impair any rights or remedies consequent thereto.
         Every power and remedy given by this Section or by law to Lessor may be
         exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient,
         by Lessor, subject at all times to Lessor's right in its sole judgment
         to discontinue any work commenced by Lessor or change any course of
         action undertaken by Lessor.

         25.      Mortgages, Subordination and Attornment. Lessor's interest in
this Lease and/or the Premises shall not be subordinate to any liens or
encumbrances placed upon the Premises by or resulting from any act of Lessee,
and nothing herein contained shall be construed to require such subordination by
Lessor. Lessee shall keep the Premises free from any liens for work performed,
materials furnished or obligations incurred by Lessee. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN
THAT LESSEE IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO PLACE OR ALLOW TO BE PLACED ANY LIEN, MORTGAGE,
DEED OF TRUST, SECURITY INTEREST OR ENCUMBRANCE OF ANY KIND UPON ALL OR ANY PART
OF THE PREMISES AND THE PERSONALTY


                                       27
<PAGE>   28


OR LESSEE'S LEASEHOLD INTEREST THEREIN, AND ANY SUCH PURPORTED TRANSACTION SHALL
BE VOID. FURTHERMORE, ANY SUCH PURPORTED TRANSACTION SHALL BE DEEMED A TORTIOUS
INTERFERENCE WITH LESSOR'S RELATIONSHIP WITH LESSEE AND LESSOR'S OWNERSHIP OF
THE PREMISES.

         This Lease at all times shall automatically be subordinate to the
Mortgages and to the lien of any and all ground leases, mortgages and trust
deeds now or hereafter placed upon the Premises by Lessor, and Lessee covenants
and agrees to execute and deliver, upon demand, such further instruments
subordinating this Lease to the lien of any or all such ground leases, mortgages
or trust deeds as shall be desired by Lessor, or any present or proposed
mortgagees or lenders under trust deeds, upon the condition that Lessee shall
have the right to remain in possession and to enjoy the Premises under the terms
of this Lease, notwithstanding any default in any or all such mortgages or trust
deeds, or after foreclosure thereof, so long as there is no Event of Default
under any of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in this Lease.

         If any mortgagee, receiver, Lender or other secured party elects to
have this Lease and the interest of Lessee hereunder be superior to any such
ground lease, mortgage or trust deed and evidences such election by notice given
to Lessee, then this Lease and the interest of Lessee hereunder shall be deemed
superior to any such ground lease, mortgage or trust deed, whether this Lease
was executed before or after such ground lease, mortgage or trust deed and in
that event such mortgagee, receiver, Lender or other secured party shall have
the same rights with respect to this Lease as if it had been executed and
delivered prior to the execution and delivery of such ground lease, mortgage or
trust deed and had been assigned to such mortgagee, receiver, Lender or other
secured party.

         Although the foregoing provisions shall be self-operative and no future
instrument of subordination shall be required, upon request by Lessor, Lessee
shall execute and deliver whatever instruments may be required for such
purposes, and in the event Lessee fails so to do within 10 days after demand,
Lessee does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint Lessor as its agent
and attorney-in-fact and in its name, place and stead so to do, which
appointment shall be deemed coupled with an interest.

         In the event any purchaser or assignee of Lender at a foreclosure sale
acquires title to the Premises, or in the event Lender or any assignee otherwise
succeeds to the rights of Lessor as landlord under this Lease, Lessee shall
attorn to Lender or such purchaser or assignee, as the case may be (a "Successor
Lessor"), and recognize the Successor Lessor as lessor under this Lease, and, if
the Successor Lessor in its sole discretion elects to recognize Lessee's tenancy
under this Lease, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct
lease between the Successor Lessor and Lessee, provided that the Successor
Lessor shall only be liable for any obligations of the lessor under this Lease
which accrue after the date that such Successor Lessor acquires title. The
foregoing provision shall be self operative and effective without the execution
of any further instruments.

         Lessee shall give written notice to any lender of Lessor having a
recorded lien upon the Premises or any part thereof of which Lessee has been
notified of any breach or default by Lessor of any of its obligations under this
Lease and give such lender at least 60 days beyond any


                                       28
<PAGE>   29


notice period to which Lessor might be entitled to cure such default before
Lessee may exercise any remedy with respect thereto. Upon request by Lessor,
Lessee shall also provide Lessee's most recent audited financial statements to
Lessor or any such lender and certify the continuing accuracy of such financial
statements in such manner as Lessor or such lender may request.

         26. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. At any time, and from time to time, Lessee
shall, promptly and in no event later than 10 days after a request from Lessor,
Lender or any other mortgagee of the Premises, execute, acknowledge and deliver
to Lessor, Lender or any other present or proposed mortgagee or purchaser
designated by Lessor, Lender or any mortgagee of the Premises a certificate in
the form supplied by Lessor, certifying: (i) that Lessee has accepted the
Premises (or, if Lessee has not done so, that Lessee has not accepted the
Premises, and specifying the reasons therefor); (ii) that this Lease is in full
force and effect and has not been modified (or if modified, setting forth all
modifications), or, if this Lease is not in full force and effect, the
certificate shall so specify the reasons therefor; (iii) the commencement and
expiration dates of the Lease Term and the terms of any extension options of
Lessee; (iv) the date to which the rentals have been paid under this Lease and
the amount thereof then payable; (v) whether there are then any existing
defaults by Lessor in the performance of its obligations under this Lease, and,
if there are any such defaults, specifying the nature and extent thereof;
(vi) that no notice has been received by Lessee of any default under this Lease
which has not been cured, except as to defaults specified in the certificate;
(vii) the capacity of the person executing such certificate, and that such
person is duly authorized to execute the same on behalf of Lessee; (viii) that
neither Lessor nor Lender has actual involvement in the management or control of
decision making related to the operational aspects or the day-to-day operations
of the Premises; and (ix) any other information reasonably requested by Lessor,
Lender, or its present or proposed purchaser or mortgagee.

         27. ASSIGNMENT. If Lender shall succeed to the rights of Lessor as
landlord under this Lease, whether through foreclosure of the lien of the
applicable Mortgage, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, Lender, as
lessor, shall have the right to sell or convey the Premises or to assign its
right, title and interest as lessor under this Lease in whole or in part. In the
event of any such sale or assignment other than a security assignment, Lessee
shall attorn to such purchaser or assignee and Lessor shall be relieved, from
and after the date of such transfer or conveyance, of liability for the
performance of any obligation of Lessor contained herein, except for obligations
or liabilities accrued prior to such assignment or sale (provided, however,
nothing in this Section 26 shall impose liability on Lender or such purchaser or
assignee, as lessor, for the obligations of Lessor accruing under this Lease
prior to the time Lender or such purchaser or assignee, as the case may be,
succeeds to Lessor's rights as lessor under this Lease). Otherwise, and except
as permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, Lessor shall not have the right to
sell or convey the Premises or to assign its right, title and interest as lessor
under this Lease in whole or in part.

         Lessee acknowledges that Lessor has relied both on the business
experience and creditworthiness of Lessee and upon the particular purposes for
which Lessee intends to use the Premises in entering into this Lease. Without
the prior written consent of Lessor (i) Lessee shall not assign, transfer,
convey, pledge or mortgage this Lease or any interest therein, whether by
operation of law or otherwise; (ii) no interest in Lessee shall be assigned,
transferred, conveyed, pledged or


                                       29
<PAGE>   30


mortgaged, whether by operation of law or otherwise, including, without
limitation, a dissolution of Lessee, provided, however, the foregoing shall not
apply to (A) any transfer of stock traded publicly during such period of time
that Lessee is a publicly traded company or (B) any other transfer of stock that
does not result in a change of voting control in Lessee; and (iii) Lessee shall
not sublet all or any part of the Premises. It is expressly agreed that Lessor
may withhold or condition such consent based upon such matters as Lessor may in
its reasonable discretion determine, including, without limitation, the
experience and creditworthiness of any assignee, the assumption by any assignee
of all of Lessee's obligations hereunder by undertakings enforceable by Lessor,
payment to Lessor of any rentals owing under a sublease which are in excess of
the rentals owing hereunder, the transfer to any assignee of all necessary
licenses and franchises to continue operating the Premises for the purposes
herein provided, receipt of such representations and warranties from any
assignee as Lessor may request, including such matters as its organization,
existence, good standing and finances and other matters, whether or not similar
in kind. At the time of any assignment of this Lease which is approved by
Lessor, the assignee shall assume all of the obligations of Lessee under this
Lease pursuant to Lessor's standard form of assumption agreement. No such
assignment nor any subletting of the Premises shall relieve Lessee of its
obligations respecting this Lease. Any assignment, transfer, conveyance, pledge
or mortgage in violation of this paragraph shall be voidable at the sole option
of Lessor.

         28. OPTION TO EXTEND. Lessee, provided there is no Event of Default
hereunder at the time of exercise or at the expiration of the Lease Term or, if
applicable, the first extension of the Lease Term, shall have the option to
continue this Lease in effect for up to two additional successive periods of
five years each in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease then
in effect, including, without limitation, adjustments in the Base Annual Rental
during such extension term in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 except
for the following:

                  A. In the event the annual fair market rental value of the
         Premises (to be determined as set forth below) is greater than the Base
         Annual Rental then the annual fair market rental value of the Premises
         shall be substituted for the Base Annual Rental and all other
         provisions shall remain the same; or

                  B. In the event the annual fair market rental value of the
         Premises is less than the Base Annual Rental the provisions of this
         Lease shall remain the same.

         Lessee shall exercise such extension option by giving notice to Lessor
of Lessee's intention to do so not more than 270 days or less than 210 days
prior to the expiration of the Lease Term or the first extension of the Lease
Term and upon receipt of such notice Lessor shall within 90 days, at Lessee's
expense, cause an appraisal of the fair market rental value of the Premises to
be made by an independent MAI appraiser. If within 20 days after being notified
of the result of such appraisal Lessee elects to reject that appraisal, then
Lessor shall nominate to Lessee a list of not less than three independent MAI
appraisers who are experienced with appraising property similar to the Premises,
and Lessee shall select one such appraiser. Within 60 days of such selection an
appraisal shall be made of the Premises by that appraiser and within 20 days
after the results of that appraisal shall have been delivered to Lessee, Lessee
shall notify Lessor of Lessee's election to exercise its option to extend this
Lease and shall pay the rental so established above which shall be absolutely
net to Lessor as provided in Section 9 hereof. If such notice of exercise is not
received by Lessor

                                       30
<PAGE>   31

within the 20-day period then this Lease shall terminate on the last day of the
Lease Term or, if applicable, the last day of the first extension of the Lease
Term.

         29. NOTICES. All notices, consents, approvals or other instruments
required or permitted to be given by either party pursuant to this Lease shall
be in writing and given by (i) hand delivery, (ii) facsimile (with a copy by
overnight delivery service), (iii) express overnight delivery service or

to have been delivered upon (a) receipt, if hand delivered, (b) transmission, if

overnight delivery service, or (d) the third Business Day following the day of
deposit of such notice with the United States Postal Service, if sent by

or to such other address or such other person as Lender may from time to time
specify to Lessor and Lessee in a notice delivered in the manner provided above.

         30. HOLDING OVER. If Lessee remains in possession of the Premises after
the expiration of the term hereof, Lessee, at Lessor's option and within
Lessor's sole discretion, may

                                       31

<PAGE>   32


be deemed a tenant on a month-to-month basis and shall continue to pay rentals
and other sums in the amounts herein provided, except that the Base Monthly
Rental shall be 125% of the Base Monthly Rental in effect on the day immediately
preceding the expiration of the term hereof, and to comply with all the terms of
this Lease; provided that nothing herein nor the acceptance of rent by Lessor
shall be deemed a consent to such holding over. Lessee shall defend, indemnify,
protect and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all
Losses resulting from Lessee's failure to surrender possession upon the
expiration of the Lease Term, including, without limitation, any claims made by
any succeeding lessee.


         31. LANDLORD'S LIEN/SECURITY INTEREST. Lessee agrees that Lessor shall
have a landlord's lien, and additionally hereby separately grants to Lessor a
first and prior security interest, in, on and against Lessee's right, title and
interest in and to all trade fixtures, machinery, appliances, furniture,
equipment and other personal property from time to time situated on or used in
connection with the Premises (the "Personalty"), which lien and security
interest shall secure the payment of all rental and other charges payable by
Lessee to Lessor under the terms hereof and all other obligations of Lessee to
Lessor under this Lease. Lessee further agrees to execute and deliver to Lessor
from time to time such financing statements and other documents as Lessor may
then deem appropriate or necessary to perfect and maintain said lien and
security interest, and expressly acknowledges and agrees that, cumulative of all
other rights of Lessor hereunder, Lessor shall have all rights and remedies of
Lessor at law or in equity in the event of any Event of Default of Lessee
hereunder, including, to the extent applicable, the Uniform Commercial Code then
in effect in the State in which the Premises is located. If Lessee shall fail
for any reason to execute any such financing statement or document within
10 days after Lessor's request therefor, Lessor shall have the right to execute
the same as attorney-in-fact of Lessee, coupled with an interest, for, and on
behalf, and in the name of Lessee. Lessee covenants to promptly notify Lessor of
any changes in Lessee's name and/or organizational structure which may
necessitate the execution and filing of additional financing statements
(provided, however, the foregoing shall not be construed as Lessor's consent to
such changes). Lessor may exercise any or all of the remedies of a secured party
available to it under the UCC with respect to such Personalty, and it is
expressly agreed that if upon an Event of Default Lessor should proceed to
dispose of such property in accordance with the provisions of the UCC, 10 days'
notice by Lessor to Lessee shall be deemed to be reasonable notice under any
provision of the UCC requiring such notice.

         32. REMOVAL OF PERSONALTY. Lessee may move all movable fixtures located
at the Premises at its discretion during the Lease Term so long as there is no
Event of Default. At the expiration of the Lease Term, and if Lessee is not then
in breach hereof, Lessee may remove from the Premises all Personalty belonging
to Lessee. Lessee shall repair any damage caused by such removal and shall leave
the Premises broom clean and in good and working condition and repair inside and
out. Any property of Lessee left on the Premises on the tenth day following the
expiration of the Lease Term shall automatically and immediately become the
property of Lessor.

         33. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Within 45 days after the end of each fiscal
quarter and within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of Lessee, Lessee
shall deliver to Lessor, Lender and any other mortgagee of Lessor pertaining to
the Premises (i) complete financial statements of

                                       32
<PAGE>   33

Lessee including a balance sheet, profit and loss statement, statement of cash
flows and all other related schedules for the fiscal period then ended; and
(ii) income statements for the business at the Premises. All such financial
statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied from
period to period, and shall be certified to be accurate and complete by Lessee
(or the Treasurer or other appropriate officer of Lessee). Lessee understands
that Lessor and Lender will rely upon such financial statements and Lessee
represents that such reliance is reasonable. In the event that Lessee's property
and business at the Premises is ordinarily consolidated with other business for
financial statement purposes, such financial statements shall be prepared on a
consolidated basis showing separately the sales, profits and losses, assets and
liabilities pertaining to the Premises with the basis for allocation of overhead
of other charges being clearly set forth. The financial statements delivered to
Lessor and Lender need not be audited, but Lessee shall deliver to Lessor and
Lender copies of any audited financial statements of Lessee which may be
prepared, as soon as they are available. Notwithstanding the foregoing and
provided Lessee is a publicly traded corporation, Lessor agrees that Lessee may
comply with the reporting requirements of item (i) above by providing Lessor
with copies of (x) reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K which Lessee shall have
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which reports shall be
delivered to Lessor promptly after the filing of such reports, and (y) all
financial statements, reports and proxy statements mailed to the shareholders of
Lessee, which materials shall be delivered to Lessor promptly after the mailing
of such materials to such shareholders.

         34. FORCE MAJEURE. Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes,
lockouts, acts of God, enemy or hostile governmental action, civil commotion,
fire or other casualty beyond the control of the party obligated to perform
shall excuse the performance by such party for a period equal to any such
prevention, delay or stoppage, except the obligations imposed with regard to
rental and other monies to be paid by Lessee pursuant to this Lease.

         35. DOCUMENT REVIEW. In the event Lessee makes any reasonable request
upon Lessor requiring Lessor or its attorneys to review and/or prepare (or cause
to be reviewed and/or prepared) any document or documents in connection with or
arising out of or as a result of this Lease, then, except as expressly stated
elsewhere herein, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor or its designee promptly upon
Lessor's demand therefor a reasonable processing and review fee in an amount not
less than $500.00 for each such request.

         36. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to each
and every provision of this Lease in which time is a factor.

         37. LESSOR'S LIABILITY. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
provided in this Lease, it is specifically understood and agreed, such agreement
being a primary consideration for the execution of this Lease by Lessor, that
(i) there shall be absolutely no personal liability on the part of Lessor, its
successors or assigns and its officers, directors, employees and agents to
Lessee with respect to any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease,
(ii) Lessee waives all claims, demands and causes of action against Lessor's
officers, directors, employees and agents in the event of any breach by Lessor
of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by
Lessor, and (iii) Lessee shall look solely to the Premises for the satisfaction
of each and every remedy of Lessee in the event of any breach by Lessor of any
of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Lessor,
or any other matter

                                       33
<PAGE>   34

in connection with this Lease or the Premises, such exculpation of liability to
be absolute and without any exception whatsoever.

         38. CONSENT OF LESSOR. Unless specified otherwise herein, Lessor's
consent to any request of Lessee may be conditioned or withheld in Lessor's sole
discretion. Lessor shall have no liability for damages resulting from Lessor's
failure to give any consent, approval or instruction reserved to Lessor,
Lessee's sole remedy in any such event being an action for injunctive relief.

         39. WAIVER AND AMENDMENT. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed
waived or amended except by a written instrument unambiguously setting forth the
matter waived or amended and signed by the party against which enforcement of
such waiver or amendment is sought. Waiver of any matter shall not be deemed a
waiver of the same or any other matter on any future occasion. No acceptance by
Lessor of an amount less than the monthly rent and other payments stipulated to
be due under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account of
the earliest such rent or other payments then due or in arrears nor shall any
endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying any such payment be
deemed a waiver of Lessor's right to collect any unpaid amounts or an accord and
satisfaction.

         40. SUCCESSORS BOUND. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein,
the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease shall bind and inure
to the benefit of the respective heirs, successors, executors, administrators
and assigns of each of the parties hereto.

         41. NO MERGER. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by
Lessee, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not result in a merger of
Lessor's and Lessee's estates, and shall, at the option of Lessor, either
terminate any or all existing subleases or subtenancies, or operate as an
assignment to Lessor of any or all of such subleases or subtenancies.

         42. CAPTIONS. Captions are used throughout this Lease for convenience
of reference only and shall not be considered in any manner in the construction
or interpretation hereof.

         43. SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Lease shall be deemed
severable. If any part of this Lease shall be held unenforceable by any court of
competent jurisdiction, the remainder shall remain in full force and effect, and
such unenforceable provision shall be reformed by such court so as to give
maximum legal effect to the intention of the parties as expressed therein.

         44. CHARACTERIZATION. A. It is the intent of the parties hereto that
the business relationship created by this Lease and any related documents is
solely that of a long-term commercial lease between landlord and tenant and has
been entered into by both parties in reliance upon the economic and legal
bargains contained herein. None of the agreements contained herein is intended,
nor shall the same be deemed or construed, to create a partnership (either de
jure or de facto) between Lessor and Lessee, to make them joint venturers, to
make Lessee an agent, legal representative, partner, subsidiary or employee of
Lessor, nor to make Lessor in any way responsible for the debts, obligations or
losses of Lessee.

         B. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and warrant to each other that each
has been represented by independent counsel and has executed this Lease after
being fully advised by said

                                       34
<PAGE>   35

counsel as to its effect and significance. This Lease shall be interpreted and
construed in a fair and impartial manner without regard to such factors as the
party which prepared the instrument, the relative bargaining powers of the
parties or the domicile of any party. Whenever in this Lease any words of
obligation or duty are used, such words or expressions shall have the same force
and effect as though made in the form of a covenant.

         45. EASEMENTS. During the Lease Term Lessor shall have the right to
grant utility easements on, over, under and above the Premises, provided that
Lessor obtains Lessee's prior consent (which consent shall not reasonably be
withheld) that such easements will not materially interfere with Lessee's
long-term use of the Premises.

         46. BANKRUPTCY. A. As a material inducement to Lessor executing this
Lease, Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessor is relying upon (i) the
financial condition and specific operating experience of Lessee and Lessee's
obligation to use the Premises specifically as a Permitted Concept,
(ii) Lessee's timely performance of all of its obligations under this Lease
notwithstanding the entry of an order for relief under the Code for Lessee,
(iii) the characterization of this Lease as set forth in Section 3, and (iv) all
Events of Default under this Lease as to the Premises being cured promptly and
this Lease being assumed within 60 days of any order for relief entered under
the Code for Lessee, or this Lease being rejected within such 60 day period and
the Premises surrendered to Lessor.

         Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this
Lease and for other good and valuable consideration, Lessee hereby agrees that:

                  (i) All obligations that accrue under this Lease (including
         the obligation to pay rent), from and after the date that an Action is
         commenced shall be timely performed exactly as provided in this Lease
         and any failure to so perform shall be harmful and prejudicial to
         Lessor;

                  (ii) Any and all obligations under this Lease that become due
         from and after the date that an Action is commenced and that are not
         paid as required by this Lease shall, in the amount of such rents,
         constitute administrative expense claims allowable under the Code with
         priority of payment at least equal to that of any other actual and
         necessary expenses incurred after the commencement of the Action;

                  (iii) Any extension of the time period within which the Lessee
         may assume or reject this Lease without an obligation to cause all
         obligations coming due under this Lease from and after the date that an
         Action is commenced to be performed as and when required under this
         Lease shall be harmful and prejudicial to Lessor;

                  (iv) Any time period designated as the period within which the
         Lessee must cure all defaults and compensate Lessor for all pecuniary
         losses which extends beyond the date of assumption of this Lease shall
         be harmful and prejudicial to Lessor;

                  (v) Any assignment of this Lease must result in all terms and
         conditions of this Lease being assumed by the assignee without
         alteration or amendment, and any assignment

                                       35
<PAGE>   36

         which results in an amendment or alteration of the terms and
         conditions of this Lease without the express written consent of Lessor
         shall be harmful and prejudicial to Lessor;

                  (vi) Any proposed assignment of this Lease to an assignee: (a)
         that will not use the Premises specifically as a Permitted Concept or
         (b) that does not possess financial condition, operating performance
         and experience characteristics equal to or better than the financial
         condition, operating performance and experience of Lessee as of the
         Effective Date, shall be harmful and prejudicial to Lessor; and

                  (vii) The rejection (or deemed rejection) of this Lease for
         any reason whatsoever shall constitute cause for immediate relief from
         the automatic stay provisions of the Code, and Lessee stipulates that
         such automatic stay shall be lifted immediately and possession of the
         Premises will be delivered to Lessor immediately without the necessity
         of any further action by Lessor.

                  (viii) This Lease shall at all times be treated as consistent
         with the specific characterizations set forth in Section 3 of this
         Lease, and assumption or rejection of this Lease shall be (a) in its
         entirety, (b) for all of the Premises, and (c) in strict accordance
         with the specific terms and conditions of this Lease.

         B. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed a waiver of Lessor's
rights or remedies under the Code or applicable law to oppose any assumption
and/or assignment of this Lease, to require timely performance of Lessee's
obligations under this Lease, or to regain possession of the Premises as a
result of the failure of Lessee to comply with the terms and conditions of this
Lease or the Code.

         C. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, all amounts
payable by Lessee to or on behalf of Lessor under this Lease, whether or not
expressly denominated as such, shall constitute "rent" for the purposes of the
Code.

         D. For purposes of this Section addressing the rights and obligations
of Lessor and Lessee in the event that an Action is commenced, the term "Lessee"
shall include Lessee's successor in bankruptcy, whether a trustee, Lessee as
debtor in possession or other responsible person.

         47. NO OFFER. No contractual or other rights shall exist between Lessor
and Lessee with respect to the Premises until both have executed and delivered
this Lease, notwithstanding that deposits may have been received by Lessor and
notwithstanding that Lessor may have delivered to Lessee an unexecuted copy of
this Lease. The submission of this Lease to Lessee shall be for examination
purposes only, and does not and shall not constitute a reservation of or an
option for Lessee to lease or otherwise create any interest on the part of
Lessee in the Premises.

         48. OTHER DOCUMENTS. Each of the parties agrees to sign such other and
further documents as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the intentions
expressed in this Lease.

         49. ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event of any judicial or other adversarial
proceeding between the parties concerning this Lease, to the extent permitted by
law, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its reasonable
attorneys' fees and other costs in addition to any other relief to which it may
be entitled. In addition, Lessor shall, upon demand, be entitled to all
attorneys' fees and all other costs incurred in the preparation and service of
any notice or demand hereunder, whether or not a legal action is subsequently
commenced. References in this Lease to Lessor's attorneys' fees and/or costs
shall mean both the fees and costs of independent counsel retained by Lessor
with respect to the matter and the fees and costs of Lessor's in-house counsel
incurred in connection with the matter.

         50. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Lease and any other instruments or
agreements referred to herein, constitute the entire agreement between the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no other
representations, warranties or agreements except as herein provided. Without

any agent, officer, employee or representative of Lessor has made any
representation or warranty regarding the projected level of Lessee's gross sales
or the projected profitability of the business to be conducted on the Premises.
Furthermore, Lessee acknowledges that Lessor did not prepare or assist in the

the Premises.

proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that venue of the action, suit
or proceeding is improper. The creation of this Lease and the rights and
remedies of Lessor with respect to the Premises, as provided herein and by the
laws of the State, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
internal laws of the State, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

          Premises utilizing Lessor customary site inspection and underwriting

          substitution, including, without limitation, Lessor's third-party
          and/or in-house site inspectors' costs and expenses with respect to

          insurance and endorsements, survey charges, stamp taxes, mortgage

         Substitute Premises is located) for such proposed Substitute Premises
         issued by Title Company (as defined in the Loan Documents) showing good
         and marketable title in Lessee and committing to insure Lessor's fee
         ownership of the proposed Substitute Premises, subject only to the

         such proposed Substitute Premises, the form of which shall be
         comparable to those received by Lessor at the Closing and sufficient to
         cause the standard survey exceptions set forth in the title policy
         referred to in the preceding subsection to be deleted.

                  (vii)  Lessor shall have received a satisfactory environmental
         insurance policy or a Phase I environmental report with respect to such
         proposed Substitute Premises, the scope of which shall conform to the
         then customary standards for Lessor purchasing commercial real estate,
         which shall conclude that there is no Environmental Condition affecting
         the proposed Substitute Premises.

                  (viii) Lessee shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, with
         respect to Lessee and the Substitute Premises, opinions of Counsel in
         form and substance comparable to those received at the Closing (but
         also addressing such matters unique to the Substitute Premises as may
         be reasonably required by Lessor).

                  (ix)   no default, beyond any applicable notice and cure
         period, shall then exist with respect to any other lease, loan or other
         transaction between Lessor or its affiliates on the one hand and Lessee
         or its affiliates on the other hand.

         Lessor to address matters unique to the Substitute Premises) or
         amendments to such documents, including, without limitation, a deed,
         lease, memorandum of lease and UCC-1 financing statements (the
         "Substitute Documents"), to provide Lessor with fee ownership of the
         proposed Substitute Premises, subject only to the Substitute Premises
         Permitted Exceptions, and all other rights, remedies and benefits with
         respect to the proposed Substitute Premises which Lessor holds in the
