Capitalized terms used without definition herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Prime Lease.

     3. BREWERY LEASE; RELATED AGREEMENTS. Of even date herewith, Tenant and

"Management Agreement") which establishes a contractual relationship between
Landlord and Tenant for the management and operation of an alehouse on the
Premises. Pursuant to that Indenture of Lease (Brewery) dated July 31, 2004

operated as a brewery (the "Brewery Premises"). Landlord and Tenant have also
entered into: (a) a separate sublease (the "Brewery Sublease") dated effective
August 1, 2004 pursuant to which Landlord subleases to Tenant the Brewery
Premises; and (b) that certain Production Agreement (the "Production Agreement")
dated effective August 1, 2004 which establishes a contractual relationship
between Landlord and Tenant for the operation of the Brewery Premises.

     4. SUBLEASE. Landlord, for and in consideration of the rents herein
reserved and of the covenants and agreements herein contained on the part of
Tenant to be performed, hereby subleases to Tenant, and Tenant accepts from the
Landlord, certain space described in Section 1.14 (the "Premises") and located

"Property") legally described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part
hereof, together with all appurtenant rights thereto as set forth in the Prime
Lease or otherwise.

the date specified in Section 1.8 (hereinafter "Commencement Date"). The Term

sooner terminated as otherwise provided elsewhere in this Sublease or extended
pursuant to an available extension option. This Sublease shall immediately
terminate upon the termination of the Production Agreement.

hereof, reasonable and usual wear and tear excepted.

     7. TENANT'S USE. The Premises shall be used and occupied only for the
Tenant's Use set forth in Section 1.16.

address specified in Section 1.12, or to such other payee or at such other
address as may be designated by advanced notice in writing from Landlord to
Tenant, without prior demand therefor and without any deduction whatsoever. Base
Rent shall be paid in equal monthly installments in advance on the first day of
each month of the Term, except that the first installment of Base Rent shall be
paid by Tenant to Landlord upon execution of this Sublease by Tenant. Base Rent
shall be prorated for partial months, if any, at the beginning and end of the
Term. Base Rent may also be referred to herein as "Rent". Tenant's covenant to
pay Rent shall be independent of every other covenant in this Lease. If Rent is
not paid when due, Tenant shall pay, relative to the delinquent payment, an
amount equal to the sum which would be payable by Landlord to Prime Landlord for
an equivalent default under the Prime Lease.

     9. ADDITIONAL RENT. Landlord shall be solely liable for any and all
Additional Rent (as defined in the Prime Lease) under the Prime Lease, whether
such Additional Rent is to reimburse Prime Landlord for taxes, operating
expenses, common area maintenance charges or any other expenses incurred by the
Prime Landlord in connection with the Property. Tenant shall not be liable to
Landlord hereunder or otherwise for any cost or expense which constitutes or is
treated as Additional Rent under the Prime Lease.

     10. UTILITY AND MAINTENANCE OBLIGATIONS. Landlord shall be solely
responsible for the following at Landlord's sole expense:

          10.1 All utility consumption costs, including without limitation,
electric and other charges incurred in connection with lighting, and providing
electrical power to the Premises, to the extent Landlord is obligated to pay for
the same under the Prime Lease. Landlord shall hold Tenant harmless from all
costs or expenses Tenant may incur from Landlord's failure to pay such utility
bills or to perform any of Landlord's obligations with respect to the purchase
of utilities.

          10.2 All maintenance, repairs and replacements as to the Premises and
the Building, including without limitation all Common Maintenance Obligations
(as defined in the Prime Lease), to the extent Landlord, as tenant, is obligated
to pay for or perform the same under the Prime Lease.

     11. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord represents that it has full power and
authority to enter into this Sublease. So long as Tenant is not in default in
the performance of its covenants and agreements in this Sublease, Tenant's quiet
and peaceable enjoyment of the Premises shall not be disturbed or interfered
with by Landlord, or by any person claiming by, through, or under Landlord.


                                       -3-

     12. INSURANCE. Landlord shall procure and maintain, at its own cost and
expense, such liability insurance and property insurance as is required to be
carried by Landlord, as tenant, under the Prime Lease. Landlord and Tenant
release each other, and their respective members, managers, partners,
shareholders, directors, officers, and employees, from, and waive their entire
claim of recovery for, any claims for damage to the Premises and the Building
and to Tenant's alterations, trade fixtures and personal property that are
caused by or result from fire, lightning or any other perils normally included
in an "all risk" or "special causes of loss" property insurance policy whether
or not such loss or damage is due to the negligence of Landlord, or its members,
mangers, partners, shareholders, directors, officers, or employees, or of
Tenant, or its members, managers, partners, shareholders, directors, officers,
or employees. Landlord shall cause each insurance policy obtained by it to
provide that the insurance company waives all right of recovery by way of
subrogation against either party in connection with any damage covered by such
insurance policy.

     13. FIRE OR CASUALTY OR EMINENT DOMAIN. In the event of a fire or other
casualty affecting the Building or the Premises, or of a taking of all or a part
of the Building or Premises under the power of eminent domain, Landlord shall
not exercise any right which may have the effect of terminating the Prime Lease
without first obtaining the prior written consent of Tenant. In the event
Landlord is entitled, under the Prime Lease, to a rent abatement as a result of
a fire or other casualty or as a result of a taking under the power of eminent
domain, then Tenant shall be entitled to abatement of Rent hereunder. If the
Prime Lease imposes on Landlord the obligation to repair or restore the Building
or any portion of the Premises, Tenant shall permit Landlord to enter the
Premises to perform the same, subject to such conditions as Tenant may
reasonably impose.

     14. SURRENDER. Upon the expiration of this Sublease, or upon the
termination of the Sublease or of the Tenant's right to possession of the
Premises, Tenant will at once surrender and deliver up the Premises, together
with all improvements thereon, to Landlord.

     15. INDEMNITY

          15.1 Landlord's Indemnity. As between Landlord and Tenant, and except
to the extent otherwise provided in this Section 15.1, Tenant shall not be
liable for injury to any person, or for the loss of or damage to any property
(including property of Landlord or Tenant) occurring in or about the Premises
from any cause whatsoever. Landlord hereby assumes all risk of damage to
property or injury to persons in, upon or about the Premises, from any cause
whatsoever except that which is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct
of Tenant. Landlord hereby indemnifies and holds Tenant harmless, and shall
defend Tenant, from and against any and all claims, charges, liabilities,
obligations, penalties, causes of action, liens, damages, costs and expenses
(including attorney fees) arising, claimed, charged or incurred against or by
Tenant and arising from or in connection with: (a) Tenant's use or occupancy of,
or any activity, work or other thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant on or
about, the Premises, whether before, after or during the term, or (b) any act or
omission of Landlord, or any officer, contractor, agent, employee, guest,
licensee, or invitee of Landlord, on or about the Premises, Building or Land.
Such indemnification obligation shall extend to all costs, attorney fees, and
liabilities incurred in connection with the defense of any such claim (including
appeals and petitions for review) or any action or proceeding brought thereon.

          15.2 Limit on Tenant's Liability. Tenant and its agents shall not be
liable for any loss or damage to persons or property resulting from fire,
exposure, falling plaster or other material, steam, gas, electricity, or from
bursting, overflowing, or leaking of water, water or rain which may leak from or
into any part of the Premises or from pipes, appliances or plumbing works
therein or from the roof, street or subsurface or from any other place, from
dampness, from electrical wiring, circuitry, power surges, overloads, spiking or
interruption of any kind, from air conditioning equipment, or from gas or odors,
sprinkler leakage, or from any other cause whatsoever, unless caused by or due
to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, invitees,
servants or employees. Tenant and its agents shall not be liable for
interference with the light, air, or other incorporeal hereditaments or for any
latent defect in or on the Premises or the Building.

          15.3 Defense of Claims. In case any action or proceeding shall be
brought against Tenant by reason of a claim covered by the provisions of Section
15, Landlord, upon notice from Tenant, shall defend the same at Landlord's
expense, by counsel approved in writing by Tenant.

     16. DEFAULTS. Landlord and Tenant agree that any one or more of the
following events shall be considered a Default hereunder:

          16.1 Any Event of Default (as defined in the Prime Lease) shall occur
under the Prime Lease and continue beyond any applicable cure period thereunder;
or

          16.2 Any Event of Default (as defined in the Brewery Lease) shall
occur under the Brewery Lease and continue beyond any applicable cure period
thereunder; or

          16.3 Tenant shall fail to make any payment of Rent hereunder for five
(5) business days after Tenant's receipt of written notice thereof; or

          16.4 Any default shall occur under the Operating Agreement and
continue beyond any applicable cure period thereunder; or

          16.5 Any default shall occur under the Brewery Sublease or the
Production Agreement and continue beyond any applicable cure period thereunder.

     17. REMEDIES. Upon the continuance of any one or more Defaults beyond any
applicable cure period, the nondefaulting Party (defined below) may terminate
this Lease by providing ten (10) business days' notice to the other party.
Landlord and Tenant expressly agree that this termination right is an adequate
and fair remedy hereunder, and that this termination right shall therefore be
the sole and exclusive remedy available to both parties. For purposes of this
Section 17 only, an Event of Default by Prime Landlord on the Prime Lease shall
be considered a Default by Tenant hereunder, and a default by either Party under
the Operating Agreement shall be considered a Default by such Party hereunder.

     18. SECURITY DEPOSIT. No security deposit shall be required hereunder.

     19. NOTICES AND CONSENTS. Any notices, demands, or other communications to
be given under this Sublease shall be in writing and personally delivered or

                                       -5-

<PAGE>

mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the parties at the
addresses listed below, or at such other addresses as the parties may from time
to time designate in writing. All notices shall be deemed received on the date
delivered, if personally delivered, or the date delivery is officially recorded
on the return receipt, if sent by certified mail.

          Tenant:   The address specified in Section 1.2.

          Landlord: The address specified in Section 1.3.

     20. PROVISIONS REGARDING SUBLEASE. In the event of any conflict between
this Sublease and the Prime Lease, the conflicting provision of the Prime Lease
shall control. Nothing contained herein shall modify or supersede any provision
of the Prime Lease. Tenant's obligations shall be solely those set forth herein;
no implied obligations shall be attributed to Tenant by virtue of the Prime
Lease or otherwise.

     21. RENEWAL TERMS. Landlord acknowledges that Landlord has two options to
extend the term of the Prime Lease for five (5) years per option, and agrees
that Landlord shall provide Tenant with a copy of any notice provided to Prime
Landlord in connection with the exercise or waiver of such options concurrently
with delivery thereof to Prime Landlord. Landlord further agrees that Tenant
shall have two options to extend the term of this Sublease concurrently with the
Renewal Terms (as defined in the Prime Lease) available to Landlord under the
Prime Lease, and that Tenant shall have a period of thirty (30) days following
Tenant's receipt of a copy of the notice from Landlord pursuant to the preceding
sentence in which to exercise or waive Tenant's extension option. Base Rent
hereunder during any such extension period shall be increased proportionally to
any increase in Landlord's Base Rent owing to Prime Landlord pursuant to the
Prime Lease during the applicable Renewal Term.

     22. EXPANSION SPACE. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that in the event that
the Brewery Lease expires or terminates prior to the expiration or termination
of the Prime Lease, the Expansion Space (as defined in the Prime Lease) shall be
added automatically to the Prime Lease Premises pursuant to the terms of Article
I of the Prime Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that in such event, the Premises
subleased hereunder shall also be expanded so as to incorporate the Expansion
Space (an "Expansion Event"), it being the intent of the parties that the
Premises subleased hereunder shall at all times be identical to the Prime Lease
Premises, and that the Base Rent due hereunder following an Expansion Event
shall be increased proportionally to any increase in Landlord's Base Rent owing
to Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease. Landlord further agrees that Landlord
shall be solely responsible at Landlord's sole expense for performance of any
demolition, remodeling, construction, or any other alterations required in
connection with an Expansion Event.

     23. PRIME LANDLORD'S CONSENT. This Sublease and the obligations of Landlord
and Tenant (each singly a "Party" and together the "Parties") hereunder are
expressly conditioned upon Landlord's obtaining prior written consent hereto by
Prime Landlord and Guarantor. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree, for the benefit
of Prime Landlord, that this Sublease and Prime Landlord's consent hereto shall
not: (a) create privity of contract between Prime Landlord and Tenant; (b) be
deemed to have amended the Prime Lease in any regard (unless Prime Landlord
shall have expressly agreed in writing to such amendment); or (c) be


                                       -6-

<PAGE>

construed as a waiver of Prime Landlord's right to consent to any assignment of
the Prime Lease by Landlord or any further subletting of premises leased
pursuant to the Prime Lease, or as a waiver of Prime Landlord's right to consent
to any assignment by Tenant of this Sublease or any sub-subletting of the
Premises or any part thereof. Prime Landlord's consent shall, however, be deemed
to evidence Prime Landlord's agreement that Tenant may use the Premises for the
purpose set forth in Section 1.16.

     24. BROKERAGE. Each party warrants to the other that it has had no dealings
with any broker or agent in connection with this Sublease, and covenants to pay,
hold harmless and indemnify the other party from and against any and all costs
(including reasonable attorneys, fees), expense or liability for any
compensation, commissions and charges claimed by any other broker or other agent
with respect to this Sublease or the negotiation thereof on behalf of such
party.
