corporations designated by Owner, and Tenant as insured, and shall contain a
clause that the insurer will not cancel or change the insurance without first
giving Owner and Tenant not less than ten (10) days prior written notice. A
copy of the policy or a certificate of insurance shall be delivered to Owner.
Owner shall maintain liability insurance in customary and reasonable amounts
and provide evidence to Tenant. SECTION 9.02. Increase in Fire Insurance Premium. Tenant agrees that it will not keep, use, sell or offer for sale in or
upon the leased premises any article which may be prohibited by the standard
form of fire insurance policy. Tenant agrees to pay any increase in premiums
for fire and extended coverage insurance that may be charged during the term of
this lease on the amount of such insurance which may be carried by Owner on
said leased premises resulting from the type of merchandise sold or materials
used by Tenant in the leased premises, whether or not Owner has consented to
the same. In determining whether increased premiums are the result of Tenants
use of the leased premises, a schedule, issued by the organization making the
insurance rate on the leased premises, showing the various components of such
rate, shall be conclusive evidence of the several items and charges which make
up the fire insurance rate on the leased premises. - 10 -

##### 



In the event Tenants occupancy causes any increase of premium for the
fire, boiler and/or casualty rates on the leased premises or any part thereof,
above the rate for the least hazardous type of occupancy legally permitted in
the leased premises, Tenant shall pay the additional premium on the fire,
boiler and/or casualty insurance policies by reason thereof. Tenant also shall
pay in such event, any additional premium on the rent insurance policy that may
be carried by Owner for its protection against rent loss through fire. Bills
for such additional premiums shall be rendered by Owner to Tenant at such times
as Owner may elect, and shall be due, from, and payable to Tenant within ten
(10) business days of receipt by Tenant, and the amount thereof shall be deemed
to be, and be paid as, additional rent. SECTION 9.03. Indemnification of Owner. Except to the extent of Owners gross negligence or misconduct, Tenant
will indemnify and hold Owner harmless from all claims arising from or in
connection with (i) the conduct or management by Tenant of the leased premises
or of any business therein, or any work or thing whatsoever done, or any
condition created in or about the leased premises by Tenant during the term of
this lease; (ii) any negligence of Tenant or any of Tenants subtenants or
licensees or the partners, directors, officers, agents, employees, invitees or
contractors of Tenant or of Tenants subtenants or licensees; (iii) any
accident, injury or damage occurring in or at the leased premises, and arising
in connection with Tenants use of the leased premises; (iv) any breach or
default by Tenant in the full and prompt payment of any amount due Owner under
this lease and/or any breach, violation or nonperformance of any term,
condition, covenant or other obligation of Tenant under this lease or any
representation made by Tenant or any guarantor of Tenants obligations in
connection with this lease; (v) all damages sustained by Owner as a result of
any holdover by Tenant in the leased premises; (vi) any liens or encumbrances
arising out of any work performed or materials furnished by or for Tenant,
including any work Owner may have performed or caused to be performed for
Tenant for which Tenant has not paid Owner; and (vii) commissions or other
compensation or charges claimed by any broker or agent with respect to this
lease by, through or under Tenant. In the event Owner, without fault on
Owners part, is made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Tenant,
then Tenant will protect and hold Owner harmless and will pay all costs,
expenses and reasonable attorneys fees incurred or paid by Owner in connection
with such litigation. This section shall also apply to the same extent as
above for the protection of Tenant with respect to Owner so that such section
is hereby restated so that Owner is replaced with Tenant and Tenant is
replaced with Owner. ARTICLE X SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT SECTION 10.01 This lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder are subject and subordinate
(provided that the mortgagee expressly agrees in writing not to disturb
Tenants possession as long as Tenant is not in default under this lease) to
any deeds of trust, mortgages or other instruments of security, as well as to
any ground leases or primary leases, that now or hereafter cover all or any
part of the Shopping - 11 -

##### 



Center, the land situated beneath the Shopping Center, or
any interest of Owner therein, and to any and all advances made on the security
thereof, and to any and all increases, renewals, modifications, consolidations,
replacements and extensions of any of such deeds of trust, mortgages,
instruments of security or leases. This provision is hereby declared by Owner
and Tenant to be self-operative and no further instrument shall be required to
effect such subordination of this lease. Tenant shall, however, within 30 days
of demand, at any time or times, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Owner any
and all instruments and certificates that may be reasonably necessary or
proper to confirm or evidence such subordination, provided the instrument
expressly provides for an undertaking by the mortgagee not to disturb Tenants
possession as long as Tenant is not in default under this lease.
Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph,
Tenant agrees that any such mortgagee shall have the right at any time to
subordinate any such deeds of trust, mortgages or other instruments of security
to this lease on such terms and subject to such conditions as such mortgagee
may deem appropriate in its discretion. Tenant further covenants and agrees
within 30 days of demand by Owners mortgagee at any time, before or after the
institution of any proceedings for the foreclosure of any such deeds of trust,
mortgages or other instruments of security, or sale of the Shopping Center
pursuant to any such deeds of trust, mortgages or other instruments of
security, to attorn to such purchaser upon any such sale and to recognize such
purchaser as Owner under this lease. The agreement of Tenant to attorn upon
demand of Owners mortgagee contained in the immediately preceding sentence
shall survive any such foreclosure sale or trustees sale. Tenant shall within
30 days of demand at any time or times, before or after any such foreclosure
sale or trustees sale, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Owners mortgagee
any and all instruments and certificates that may be reasonably necessary or
proper to confirm or evidence such attornment. ARTICLE XI ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING SECTION 11.01. Consent Required. Tenant will not assign this lease in whole or in part, nor sublet all or
any part of the leased premises, without the prior written consent of Owner in
each instance. The consent by Owner to any assignment or subletting shall not
constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent
assignment or subletting. If this lease be assigned, or if the leased premises
or any part thereof be underlet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant,
Tenants employees or affiliates. Owner may, after a default by Tenant, collect
rent from the assignee, under-tenant or occupant, and apply the net amount
collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, underletting,
occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the
acceptance of the assignee, under-tenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of
Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of
Tenant herein contained. Any excess collected shall be divided equally between
Tenant and Owner. Notwithstanding any assignment or sublease, Tenant shall
remain fully liable on this lease and shall not be released from performing any
of the terms, covenants and conditions of this lease. - 12 -

##### 



SECTION 11.02. Assignment and Subletting Without Consent. Notwithstanding the provision of Section 11.01 hereof, Tenant may, without
Owners prior written consent and provided Tenant is not at such time in
default hereunder, assign this lease or sublet the leased premises or any part
thereof to any financial institution (1) that is controlling, controlled by or
under common control with Tenant, or (2) that has total assets and net worth
equal to or greater than that of Tenant at the time of such proposed assignment
or sublet, or (3) that acquires substantially all of the assets of Tenant and
immediately after such acquisition has total assets and net worth equal to or
greater than that of Tenant at the time of such acquisition. Tenant also may,
without Owners prior written consent, assign this lease to any corporation
resulting from the merger or consolidation of Tenant; provided, however, that
(1) the total assets and net worth of such assignee after such consolidation or
merger shall be equal to or more than that of Tenant immediately prior to such
consolidation or merger; and (2) Tenant is not at such time in default
hereunder. ARTICLE XII WASTE, GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS SECTION 12.01. Waste or Nuisance. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste upon the
leased premises or any nuisance or other act or thing which may disturb the
quiet enjoyment of any other tenant in the Shopping Center, or which may
disturb the quiet enjoyment of any person within five hundred (500) feet of the
boundaries of the Shopping Center. SECTION 12.02. Compliance With Laws. Tenant agrees to comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and
regulations of any governmental entity or agency having jurisdiction enacted
after the Commencement Date with respect to the leased premises including,
without limitation, all life safety rules and regulations (other than the
Americans with Disabilities Act (Public Law 101-336 [July 26, 1990]) as such
act may be amended from time to time (ADA) for which Owner shall be solely
responsible) applicable to the leased premises. No provision in this lease
should be construed in any manner as permitting, consenting to or authorizing
Tenant to violate requirements under the ADA and any provision of this lease
which could arguably be construed as authorizing a violation of the ADA shall
be interpreted in a manner which permits compliance with the ADA and is hereby
amended to permit such compliance. To Owners knowledge, there is no asbestos
or environmental hazardous material on the leased premises, and Owner shall be
solely responsible for removing any such material discovered on the leased
premises unless brought onto the leased premises by Tenant. Tenant agrees not
to bring any asbestos or environmentally hazardous material on the leased
premises. SECTION 12.03. Environment. In order to induce Tenant to enter into this lease, Owner represents and
warrants, and covenants with Tenant, as follows: - 13 -

parking or other common areas, nor shall Tenant distribute any handbills or
other advertising matter in automobiles parked in the parking area or in other
common areas. ARTICLE XIV DESTRUCTION OF LEASED PREMISES SECTION 14.01. Total or Partial Destruction. If the leased premises shall be damaged by fire, the elements, unavoidable
accident or other casualty, but are not thereby rendered untenantable in whole
or in part, Owner shall at its own expense cause such damage to be repaired,
and the rent shall be abated as hereinafter provided. If by reason of such
occurrence, the leased premises shall be rendered untenantable only in part,
Owner shall at its own expense cause the damage to be repaired within not more
than 180 days of such occurrence, and the fixed minimum rent and all other sums
payable by Tenant to Owner pursuant to the provisions of this lease meanwhile
shall be abated proportionately as to the portion of the leased premises
rendered untenantable. Space shall be deemed untenantable if it cannot be used
in the normal conduct of Tenants business. If the premises shall be rendered
wholly untenantable by reason of such occurrence, Owner shall at its own
expense cause such damage to be repaired within not more than 120 days of such
occurrence, and the fixed minimum rent and all other sums payable by Tenant to

notwithstanding that the leased Premises may be unaffected by such fire or
other cause, Owner shall have the right, to be exercised by notice in writing
delivered to Tenant within sixty (60) days from and after said occurrence, to
elect to cancel and terminate this lease. In the event Owner exercises such
right, Owner shall reimburse Tenant for the cost of all construction costs and
permanent improvements, less accumulated depreciation based upon a ten-year
life for said improvements. Upon the giving of such notice to Tenant, the term
of this lease shall expire by lapse of time upon the third day after such
notice is given, and Tenant shall vacate the leased premises and surrender the
same to Owner. - 15 -

ARTICLE XV EMINENT DOMAIN SECTION 15.01. Total Condemnation. If the whole of the leased premises shall be acquired or condemned by
eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, then the term of
this lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of title vesting in such
proceeding and all rent shall be paid up to that date and Tenant shall have no
claim against Owner for the value of any unexpired term of this lease. SECTION 15.02. Total Parking Area. If the whole of the common parking areas in the Shopping Center shall be
acquired or condemned by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or
purpose, then the term of this lease shall cease and terminate as of the date
of title vesting in such proceeding unless Owner shall give notice to Tenant
and take immediate steps to provide other parking facilities substantially
equal to the previously existing parking areas in the amount required to be
maintained hereunder and in all respects (including distance) and such
substantially equal parking facilities shall be provided by Owner at its own
expense within ninety (90) days from the date of acquisition. In the event
that Owner shall provide such other substantially equal parking facilities,
then this lease shall continue in full force and effect; otherwise, at Tenants
option, this lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of title vesting in
such proceeding. In any event, Tenant shall have no claim against Owner for
the value of any unexpired term of this lease. SECTION 15.03. Partial Condemnation. If any part of the leased premises shall be acquired or condemned by
eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, then in the event
that such partial taking or condemnation shall render the leased premises
unsuitable for the business of Tenant, then at Tenants option the term of this
lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of title vesting in such
proceeding and Tenant shall have no claim against Owner for the value of any
unexpired term of this lease. In the event of a partial taking or condemnation
which is not extensive enough to render the premises unsuitable for the
business of Tenant, as mutually agreed upon by Owner and Tenant, then Owner
shall promptly restore the leased premises to a condition comparable to its
condition at the time prior to such condemnation less the portion lost in the
taking, and this lease shall continue in full force and effect. Rent shall be
equitably prorated as to any reduction in square footage of the leased
premises. SECTION 15.04. Partial Condemnation in Parking Area. If any part of the parking area in the Shopping Center shall be acquired
or condemned by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose
and if, as the result of such partial taking the ratio of square feet of
parking field to square feet of the rentable area of the entire Shopping Center
buildings is reduced to a ratio below two to one, then at Tenants option the
term of this lease shall cease and terminate from the date of title vesting in
such proceeding, unless Owner - 16 -

shall give notice to Tenant and take immediate
steps toward restoring the number of spaces by providing substantially equal
alternate parking, in which event this lease shall be unaffected and remain in
full force and effect. In any event, Tenant shall have no claim against Owner
for the value of any unexpired term of this lease. SECTION 15.05. Owners Damages. In the event of any condemnation or taking as hereinbefore provided,
whether whole or partial, Tenant shall not be entitled to any part of the
award, as damages or otherwise, for such condemnation and Owner is to receive
the full amount of such award, Tenant hereby expressly waiving any right or
claim to any part of the award belonging to Owner.
SECTION 15.06. Tenants Damages. Although all damages in the event of any condemnation are to belong to
Owner whether such damages are awarded as compensation for diminution in value
of the leasehold or to the fee of the leased premises, Tenant shall have the

such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant in
Tenants own right on account of any and all damages to Tenants business and
Tenants trade fixtures and improvements by reason of the condemnation and for
or on account of any cost or loss to which Tenant might be put in removing
Tenants merchandise, furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements and
equipment. ARTICLE XVI DEFAULT OF THE TENANT SECTION 16.01. Right to Re-enter. In the event of any failure of Tenant to pay any rental due hereunder
within ten business (10) days after the same shall be due, or any failure to
perform any other of the terms, conditions or covenants of this lease to be
observed or performed by Tenant for more than thirty (30) days after written
notice of such default shall have been mailed to Tenant, provided such thirty
(30) days shall be extended so long as Tenant is diligently proceeding to cure
such defaults, or if Tenant shall become bankrupt or insolvent, or file any
debtor proceedings, or take or have taken against Tenant in any court pursuant
to any statute either of the United States or of any State a petition in
bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for the appointment of a
receiver or trustee of all or a portion of Tenants property, or if Tenant
makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or petitions for or enters
into an arrangement, or if Tenant shall abandon the leased premises for more
than six months or suffer this lease to be taken under any writ of execution,
then Owner besides other rights or remedies it may have, shall have the
immediate right of re-entry and may remove all persons and property from the
leased premises and such property may be removed and stored in a public
warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of Tenant, all
without service of notice or resort to legal process and without being deemed
guilty of trespass, or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be
occasioned thereby. - 17 -

SECTION 16.02. Right to Relet. Should owner elect to re-enter, as herein provided, or should it take
possession of the leased premises pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to
any notice provided for by law, it may either terminate this lease or it may
from time to time without terminating this lease, make such alterations and
repairs as may be necessary in order to relet the leased premises, and relet
the leased premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be
for a term extending beyond the term of this lease) and at such rental or
rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Owner in its sole
discretion may deem advisable; upon each such reletting all rentals received by
Owner from such reletting shall be applied, first, to the payment of any
indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Owner; second, to the
payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting, including brokerage fees
and attorneys fees and of costs of such alterations and repairs; third, to the
payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder, and the residue, if any, shall be
held by Owner and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due
and payable hereunder. If such rentals received from such reletting during any
month be less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder,
Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Owner. Such deficiency shall be
calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of the
leased premises by Owner shall be construed as an election on its part to
terminate this lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to
Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent
jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination. Owner
may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this lease for any breach, in
addition to any other remedies it may have, it may recover from Tenant all
damages it may incur by reason of such breach, including the cost of recovering
the leased premises, reasonable attorneys fees, and including the present
value based on a discount rate equal to the prime rate of interest established
by Bank One at the time of such termination of the excess, if any, of the
amount of rent and charges equivalent to rent reserved in this lease for the
remainder of the stated term over the then reasonable rental value of the
leased premises for the remainder of the stated term, all of which amounts
shall be immediately due and payable from Tenant to Owner. SECTION 16.03 Legal Expenses. In case suit shall be brought for recovery of possession of the leased
premises, for the recovery of rent or any other amount due under the provision
of this lease, or because of the breach of any other covenant herein contained
on the part of Tenant to be kept or performed, and a breach shall be
established, Tenant shall pay to Owner all expenses incurred therefor,
including a reasonable attorneys fee. ARTICLE XVII ACCESS BY OWNER SECTION 17.01. Right of Entry. Owner or Owners agents shall have the right to enter the leased premises
at all times to examine the same, and to show them to prospective purchases or
lessees of the Building, and to - 18 -

##### 



make such repairs, alterations, improvements or
additions as Owner may deem necessary or desirable, and Owner shall be allowed
to take all material into and upon said leased premises that may be required
therefor without the same constituting an eviction of Tenant in whole or in
part. During the six (6) months prior to the expiration of the term of this
lease or any renewal term, Owner may exhibit the premises to prospective
tenants or purchasers, and place upon the leased premises the usual notices To
Let or For Sale which notices Tenant shall permit to remain thereon without
molestation. At all times, except in an emergency, Tenants representative
must be personally present to open and permit entry by Owner or its
representative into the leased premises. Owner shall give Tenant reasonable
prior notice and not unreasonably disrupt Tenants business. Nothing herein
contained, however, shall be deemed or construed to impose upon Owner any
obligation, responsibility or liability whatsoever, for the care, maintenance
or repair of the Building or any part thereof, except as otherwise herein
specifically provided. SECTION 17.02. Excavation. If an excavation shall be made upon land adjacent to the leased premises,
or shall be authorized to be made, Tenant shall afford to the person causing or
authorized to cause such excavation, license to enter upon the leased premises,
but not the Building, for the purpose of doing such work as Owner shall deem
necessary to preserve the wall or the Building from injury or damage and to
support the same by proper foundations, without any claim for damages or
indemnification against Owner or diminution or abatement of rent, provided
Tenant is given reasonable notice and Tenants business is not unreasonably
interrupted. ARTICLE XVIII TENANTS PROPERTY SECTION 18.01. Taxes on Leasehold. Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay before delinquency all
municipal, county or state taxes assessed during the term of this lease against
any leasehold interest or personal property of any kind, owned by or placed in,
upon or about the leased premises by Tenant. SECTION 18.02. Loss and Damage. Owner shall not be liable for any damage to property of Tenant or of
others located on the leased premises, nor for the loss of or damage to any
property of Tenant or of others by theft or otherwise except to the extent
caused by Owners negligence or misconduct. Owner shall not be liable for any
injury or damage to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling
plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water, rain or snow or leaks from any part of
the leased premises or from the pipes, appliances or plumbing works or from the
roof, street or subsurface or from any other place or by dampness or by any
other cause of whatsoever nature except to the extent caused by Owners
negligence or misconduct. Owner shall not be liable for any such damage caused
by other tenants or persons in the leased premises, occupants of adjacent
property of the Shopping Center, or the public, or caused by operations in
construction of any private, public or quasi-public work. Owner shall be
liable for and shall correct any latent defect in the leased premises not
caused by work - 19 -

performed by Tenant. All property of Tenant kept or stored on
the leased premises shall be so kept or stored at the risk of Tenant only and
Tenant shall hold Owner harmless from any claims arising out of damage to the
same, including subrogation claims by Tenants insurance carriers, unless such
damage shall be caused by the act or neglect of Owner. SECTION 18.03 Notice by Tenant. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Owner in case of fire or accidents in
the leased premises. ARTICLE XIX HOLDING OVER, SUCCESSORS SECTION 19.01. Holding Over. Any holding over after the expiration of the term hereof, with the consent
of Owner, shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month at the rents
herein specified (pro-rated on a monthly basis if required) and so far as
applicable shall otherwise be on the terms and conditions herein specified. SECTION 19.02. Successors. All rights and liabilities herein given to, or imposed upon, the
respective parties hereto shall extend to and bind the several respective
heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of the said parties;
and if there shall be more than one tenant, they shall all be bound jointly and
severally by the terms, covenants and agreements herein. No rights, however,
shall inure to the benefit of any assignee of Tenant unless the assignment to
such assignee has been approved by Owner in writing. ARTICLE XX QUIET ENJOYMENT SECTION 20.01. Owners Covenant. Upon payment by Tenant of the rents herein provided, and upon the
observance and performance of all the covenants, terms and conditions on
Tenants part to be observed and performed, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly
hold and enjoy the leased premises for the term hereby demised without
hindrance or interruption by Owner or any other person or persons lawfully or
equitably claiming by, through or under Owner, subject, nevertheless, to the
terms and conditions of this lease. - 20 -

ARTICLE XXI LIABILITY OF OWNER SECTION 21.01 (a) If Owner defaults under this lease and, if as a consequence of such
default, Tenant recovers a money judgment against Owner, such judgment will be
satisfied only out of the right, title and interest of Owner in the Shopping
Center and Owner will not be liable for any deficiency. In no event will
Tenant have the right to levy execution against any property of Owner or
Owners partners other than Owners interest in the Shopping Center. In no
event shall Owner ever be liable to Tenant for any consequential or special
damages under this lease. (b) The term Owner will mean only the owner of the fee title to the
Shopping Center at the time in question. The obligations contained in this
lease to be performed by Owner will be binding on Owner and Owners successors
and assigns only during their respective periods of ownership. Tenant will,
upon request of any person or party succeeding to the interest of Owner, attorn
to such successor in interest and recognize such successor in interest as Owner
under this lease. ARTICLE XXII WAIVER OF SUBROGATION RIGHTS SECTION 22.01 Subject to the conditions hereinafter specified in this Section and only
to the extent that and so long as the same is permitted under the laws and
regulations governing the writing of insurance within the State of Illinois
with respect to the respective insurance that is to be carried by either Owner
or Tenant covering losses arising out of the destruction or damage to the
leased premises or its contents or to other portions of the Shopping Center or
to Tenants occupancy and operation of the leased premises without invalidating
or nullifying any such policy, or providing a defense to the applicable
insurance carrier with respect to the coverage of any such policy, all such
insurance carried by either Owner or Tenant shall provide for a waiver of
rights of subrogation against Owner and Tenant, as the case may be, on the part
of the insurance carrier. Unless such waivers contemplated by this sentence
will invalidate, nullify, or provide a defense to coverage under any such
insurance policy or are not obtainable for the reasons described in this
Section, Owner and Tenant each hereby waive any and all rights of recovery,
claims, actions or causes of action against the other, its agents, officers, or
employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the leased premises or the
Shopping Center, or any improvements thereto, which loss or damage is covered
by valid and collectible insurance policies, to the extent that such loss and
damage is actually recovered under such insurance policy. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the failure of Tenant to take out or maintain any insurance policy
required under Article IX hereof shall be a defense to any claim asserted by
Tenant against Owner by reason of any loss sustained by Tenant that would have
been covered by any such required policy; the converse shall also apply to any
claims by Owner against Tenant. The waivers set forth in this Section shall be
in addition to, and not substitution for, any other waivers, indemnities or
exclusions of liabilities as set forth in this lease. - 21 -

condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by
Owner shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of
any term, covenant or condition of this lease, other than the failure of Tenant

such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. No covenant,
term or condition of this lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Owner,

other remedy in this lease provided. SECTION 25.03. Entire Agreement. This lease and the Exhibits attached hereto and forming a part hereof, set
