                                 LEASE AGREEMENT

         THIS LEASE, made and entered into this 1st day of May, 1999, by and
between G&R, INC., a Georgia corporation ("Landlord"), and MALG, INC., a Georgia
corporation d/b/a K&G Ladies ("Tenant").

         1. Demised Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant the building and
improvements located at 1777 Ellsworth Industrial Boulevard, Atlanta, Georgia
30318 (the "Demised Premises"), which Demised Premises are more particularly
depicted on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and by this reference made a part
hereof. This Lease and the Demised Premises are subject to all easements,
restrictions, covenants and conditions of record, and to all building and zoning
ordinances and regulations and other local jurisdictional regulations.

         2. Term. The term of this Lease (the "Term") shall commence on the date
set forth at the beginning of this Lease (the "Commencement Date"), and
terminate on April 30, 2004. Each lease year (a "Lease Year") during the Term
and, as applicable, the "Extended Term" (as such term is defined herein) shall
begin, as applicable, on the Commencement Date or the anniversary date of the
Commencement Date, and shall end on the day immediately prior to the next
anniversary date of the Commencement Date. Tenant shall have the option to
extend this Lease for an additional period of five (5) years (the "Extended
Term") by providing written notice of its intention to extend to Landlord not
later than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Term. In the event
that Tenant elects to extend this Lease, all of the provisions hereof shall
remain in full force and effect during the course of the Extended Term.

         3. Rent. All rent due hereunder shall be payable at the office of the
Landlord at 1225 Chattahoochee Avenue, N.W., Atlanta, Georgia 30318, or such
other address as Landlord may hereafter designate in writing. Tenant shall pay
all rent when due without any right to abatement, offset, deduction, notice or
demand. Rent due hereunder shall consist of the following:

                  (a) Annual base rent ("Base Rent'), which for the first Lease
Year shall be Seventy-Two Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($72,000.00), and shall
thereafter be adjusted as set forth below. Annual Base Rent shall be payable in
advance in equal monthly installments on the first day of each month during the
Term and, as applicable, the Extended Term. Base Rent for any fraction of any
month during the Term and, as applicable, the Extended Term, shall be prorated
according to the number of days that the Lease is in effect for such month.

                           (i) On each anniversary of the Commencement Date
during the Term and, as applicable, the Extended Term, annual Base Rent shall be
adjusted by multiplying (i) the annual Base Rent for the preceding Lease Year by
(ii) the percentage change of the "CPI" (as that term is herein defined) for the
eleventh month of the preceding Lease Year from the CPI for the first month of
the preceding Lease Year, plus one hundred percent (100%). An example of how to
determine the change in the annual Base Rent is set forth below. In no event
shall the annual Base Rent during any Lease Year be less than the annual Base
Rent required to be paid during the first or preceding Lease Year of the Term,
whichever is higher. The monthly installments of the annual Base Rent due
hereunder shall be adjusted accordingly.

                           (ii) For the purposes hereof, the term "CPI" shall
mean the Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), U.S. City Average,
All Items, 1982-84=100, which is published by the United States Bureau of Labor
Statistics.

                           (iii) Example of adjustment of annual Base Rent based
upon CPI:

                  (b) Percentage Rent ("Percentage Rent"), if any, shall be
payable in an amount equal to (i) one percent (1%) of the amount, if any, by
which "Gross Sales" for each Lease Year exceed Two Million Five Hundred Thousand
and No/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00). For purposes hereof, "Gross Sales" shall
mean the gross amount charged for all sales or services made from the Demised
Premises by Tenant, for cash or credit, paid or unpaid, less any sales taxes,
and shall include, without limitation, gross rents or other amounts received by
Tenant from any other revenue sources at the Demised Premises approved in
writing in advance by Landlord, such as vending machines. Percentage Rent shall
be paid on or before the sixtieth (60th) day following the end of each Lease
Year. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of Tenant's statement of Gross
Sales for the preceding Lease Year with Tenant's payment of Percentage Rent.

                  (c) In addition to the Base Rent and Percentage Rent, Tenant
agrees to pay as additional rent ("Additional Rent", and together with Base Rent
and Percentage Rent, "Rent"), all other sums of money required to be paid by
Tenant hereunder.

         4. Late Charges. In the event any installment of Rent due hereunder is
not received by Landlord on its respective due date, there shall be an automatic
late charge due Landlord from the Tenant along with such delinquent installment
in the amount of five percent (5%) of the amount of the delinquent installment.
The parties acknowledge and agree that such late charges are not penalties, but
rather are charges attributable to administrative and collection costs arising
out of such delinquency. In addition to such late charge, in the event Landlord
does not receive any installment of Rent within five (5) days of the date when
due hereunder, interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum shall be
due and payable with respect to such delinquent installment of Rent from the due
date thereof until Landlord receives such payment.

         5. Use of Demised Premises. Tenant shall use the Demised Premises,
subject to the conditions contained herein, for no purpose or business other
than that of a retail clothing outlet.

         6. Licenses and Permits. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense,
obtain and maintain all licenses and permits required by any public authority
for the contemplated use of the Demised Premises.

         7. Maintenance. During the Term and, as applicable, the Extended Term,
Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, make all necessary repairs to the
Demised Premises, interior and exterior, structural and non-structural, ordinary
and extraordinary and foreseen and unforeseen. Whenever used in this paragraph,
the term "repairs" shall include all necessary replacements, renewals,
alterations, additions, betterments and any such work required to conform with
the provisions of this Lease or any work required by any order of any
governmental agency. Tenant shall maintain all portions of the Demised Premises
in a clean and orderly condition, free of dirt, rubbish and obstructions.

         8. Taxes. During the Term and, as applicable, the Extended Term, Tenant
shall pay within thirty (30) days of its receipt of a bill from Landlord, all ad
valorem taxes, assessments, water and sewer rents, rates and charges, transit
taxes, excises, levies, license and permit fees and any other governmental
charges and costs of every kind and nature, general and special, ordinary and
extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen, of any kind and nature whatsoever that
may become a lien on or be assessed, levied, confirmed, imposed upon, or become
due and payable or grow out of or with respect to the Demised Premises or any
part thereof.

         9. Insurance. Tenant, at its own expense, shall throughout the Term
and, as applicable, the Extended Term, carry the following insurance coverage:

                  (a) Public liability insurance covering any and all claims for
injuries to persons or damage to property occurring in or about the Demised
Premises, including all damage from signs, glass, awnings, fixtures or other
appurtenances in or about the Demised Premises, with a minimum limit of not less
than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence. The policy shall name
Landlord, or any other party in interest reasonably designated by Landlord, as
an additional named insured. The policy shall contain a clause providing for
thirty (30) days written notice to Landlord of cancellation, material change in
the policy or intent upon the part of the insurer not to renew. At Landlord's
request, a copy of the certificate of the insurer certifying to the issuance
thereof shall be delivered to Landlord. The insurance contemplated herein shall
be issued by a company that is authorized to engage in the business of general
liability insurance in the State of Georgia and has been approved in advance by
Landlord.

                  (b) Fire and extended coverage insurance covering the Demised
Premises against (i) loss or damage by fire, lighting, vandalism, malicious
mischief and flood (if the Demised Premises are in an area which is considered a
flood risk area by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development), (ii)
such other hazards as are presently included in so-called "all risk" replacement
cost insurance, and (iii) any other insurable hazards as, under good insurance
practices, from time to time are insured against for properties of similar
character and location. The amount of such insurance shall not be less than the
full replacement cost of the building and improvements located on the Demised
Premises without deduction for depreciation. At Landlord's request, a copy of
the paid-up policy evidencing such insurance or a certificate of the insurer
certifying to the issuance thereof shall be delivered to Landlord. The insurance
policy contemplated herein shall (i) be issued by a company which is authorized
to engage in the business of casualty insurance in the State of Georgia and has
been approved in advance by Landlord, (ii) name Landlord as the insured, and
contain a clause providing for thirty (30) days written notice to Landlord of
cancellation, material change in the policy or intent upon the part of the
insurer not to renew.

         10. Utilities. During the Term of this Lease and, as applicable, the
Extended Term, Tenant shall pay, when due, all costs, charges and deposits
related to the hook-up, furnishing, consumption, maintenance and installation of
water, water pressure, gas, electricity, fuel, light, heat, power, telephone,
sewage service, trash removal, sanitary charges and assessments, security
protection, or any other utilities or services (hereinafter collectively called
the "Utilities") attributable to or rendered with respect to the Demised
Premises. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant or any other party for any
inadequacy, cessation or interruption of any of the Utilities.

         11. Casualty. If the Demised Premises or any portion thereof are
damaged or destroyed by fire, flood, tornado or other casualty, Landlord shall,
within thirty (30) days of such casualty, notify Tenant whether Landlord will
repair such damage. If Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord will not repair
such damage, then either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease upon
written notice to the other within thirty (30) days of Tenant's receipt of such
notice. In the event Landlord notifies Tenant that such damage will be repaired
by Landlord, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, Rent shall be
abated to the extent the Demised Premises are untenantable and Tenant shall
repair or replace all trade fixtures, furniture and equipment in the Demised
Premises which are damaged by such casualty.

         12. Condemnation. If all or any part of the Demised Premises shall be
taken or damaged by the exercise of the power of eminent domain, Tenant shall
have no claim against Landlord and shall not have any claim or right to any
portion of the amount that may be awarded as damages or paid as a result of any
such condemnation, and all right of Tenant to such damages, if any, are hereby
assigned by Tenant to Landlord. In the event such taking renders the balance of
the Demised Premises untenantable, Rent shall be abated to the extent the
Demised Premises are untenantable until the Demised Premises are restored by
Landlord; provided, however, that in the event Landlord elects not to restore
the Demised Premises, either party may terminate this Lease by providing written
notice of such termination to the other party within thirty (30) days of the
effective date of the taking.

         13. Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord agrees that Tenant, upon performing and
observing all of the terms and conditions of this Lease to be performed and
observed by Tenant, shall peacefully and quietly have, hold and enjoy the
Demised Premises and the appurtenances thereto throughout the Term and, as
applicable, the Extended Term, without hindrance, ejection or molestation by
Landlord or otherwise.

         14. Party Relationship. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed
or construed to create a partnership, joint venture or relationship of principal
and agent between Landlord and Tenant or between Landlord and any other party,
or cause Landlord to be responsible in any way for the debts or obligations of
Tenant or any other party, it being the intention of the parties that the only
relationship hereunder is solely that of landlord and tenant.

         15. Default.

                  (a) If any one or more of the following events occur, said
events shall hereby be classified as a "Default":

                           (i) If Tenant shall make an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or file a petition in any federal or state court, in
bankruptcy, reorganization, composition, or make an application in any such
proceedings for the appointment of a trustee or receiver for all or any portion
of its property.

                           (ii) If any petition filed under federal or state law
against Tenant in any bankruptcy, reorganization, or insolvency proceedings
shall not be dismissed or vacated within sixty (60) days after such petition is
filed.

                           (iii) If a receiver or trustee shall be appointed
under federal or state law for Tenant, or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations
hereunder, for all or any portion of the property of either of them, and such
receivership or trusteeship shall not be set aside within sixty (60) days after
such appointment.

                           (iv) If Tenant fails to pay any installment of Rent
when same shall become due and payable.

                           (v) If Tenant shall fail to perform or observe any
non-monetary term, condition, covenant, agreement, or obligation of this Lease,
and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice from
Landlord; provided, however, that in the event such Default cannot reasonably be
cured within such thirty (30) day period, then Tenant shall be afforded a
reasonable period of time to effect such cure, so long as Tenant is diligently
pursuing same.

                  (b) Upon the happening of any one or more of the
aforementioned Defaults, Landlord shall have the right, in addition to any other
rights and remedies, to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Tenant. Upon
Landlord's delivery of such notice to Tenant, this Lease shall cease and expire,
and Tenant shall surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord. Notwithstanding
such termination, Tenant's liability and obligation under all provisions of this
Lease, including the obligation to pay Rent and any and all other amounts due
hereunder shall survive and continue. In addition, in the event of Tenant's
Default under this Lease, Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, accelerate the
monthly installments of Rent due hereunder for the remaining portion of the Term
or, as applicable, the Extended Term, in which event such amount, together with
any sums then in arrears, shall immediately be due and payable to Landlord
discounted to present value using the prime rate of interest announced by
SunTrust Bank, Atlanta, Georgia, as of the date of such Default. Tenant hereby
expressly agrees that its occupation of the Demised Premises after Default
constitutes unlawful detainer as is defined by the law in force in the
jurisdiction in which the Demised Premises are located. For purposes of
calculating the amount of Percentage Rent due in accordance with this
subparagraph (b), the Gross Sales for the year immediately preceding the year in
which the Default has occurred shall be used and the amount of Percentage Rent
shall be pro rated.

                  (c) If this Lease shall be terminated as provided hereinabove,
Landlord may re-enter the Demised Premises and remove Tenant, its agents and
sub-tenants, together with all or any of its property, by suitable action at
law, or by force. Tenant waives any right to the service of any notice of
Landlord's intention to re-enter and Landlord shall not be liable in any way in
connection with any action it takes pursuant to this paragraph. Notwithstanding
such re-entry or removal, Tenant's liability under the provisions of this Lease
shall survive and continue.

                  (d) Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
relet the whole or part of the Demised Premises upon terms which Landlord, in
its sole discretion, deems appropriate and Tenant shall be

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

responsible for all expenses incurred by Landlord in re-letting or attempting to
re-let; provided that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate
Landlord's damages hereunder; provided further that Tenant shall not be liable
for costs and expenses of repair's made necessary by Landlord's re-entry or
possession of the Demised Premises.

                  (e) The rights and remedies of Landlord set forth herein shall
be in addition to any other right and remedy now or hereinafter provided by law,
and all such right and remedies shall be cumulative. No action or inaction by
Landlord shall constitute a waiver of a Default, and no waiver of Default shall
be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the Landlord.

         16. Holding Over. In the event Tenant, with the prior written consent
of Landlord, continues to remain on the Demised Premises after the expiration of
the Term or, as applicable, the Extended Term, then Tenant shall become a tenant
by the month at a rental rate of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the monthly
installments of Base Rent then in effect, commencing said monthly tenancy with
the first day following the end of the Term or, as applicable, the Extended
Term; provided, however, that at any time prior to Landlord's acceptance of Rent
from Tenant as a monthly tenant hereunder, Landlord, at its option, may reenter
and take possession of the Demised Premises without process or by any legal
process in force.

         17. Assignment and Subletting. Tenant shall not, without prior written
consent of Landlord, (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld)
mortgage, assign, sublet or otherwise part with possession of the whole or any
part of the Demised Premises. A consent by Landlord to one mortgage, assignment
or sublease shall not be deemed to be consent to any subsequent proposed
mortgage, assignment or sublease. In the event Tenant is an entity, a change in
ownership or control of such entity shall constitute an assignment subject to
this paragraph.

         18. Successors and Assigns. This Lease shall bind and inure to the
benefit of the heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of the
parties hereto.

         19. Attorney's Fees. If litigation is commenced by either party hereto
against the other in connection with the enforcement of any provision of this
Lease, the losing party shall pay all court costs and shall pay to the
prevailing party all expenses incurred by the prevailing party in litigation,
including reasonable attorney's fees as determined by the court. The amount so
allowed as attorney's fees shall be taxed to the losing party as costs of the
suit, unless prohibited by law.

         20. Indemnification. Tenant will indemnify Landlord (including its
affiliates, agents, employees, officers and directors) against and hold it
harmless from and promptly reimburse it for any and all costs, liabilities,
losses or expenses and damages, including, without limitation, payments of money
(fines, damages, legal fees, court costs, expenses, etc.) by reason of any
claim, demand, tax penalty or judicial or administrative investigation or
proceeding (even where Landlord's negligence is alleged) arising from or
relating to this Lease, including, without limitation, compliance of the Demised
Premises or any part thereof with all environmental laws, regulations and
ordinances. At the election of Landlord, Tenant will also defend Landlord
against same, provided that, in any event, Landlord shall have the right,
through counsel of its choice, to control any matter to the extent it could
directly or indirectly affect Landlord financially. Tenant will also reimburse
Landlord for all expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord to protect itself
from, or to remedy, a Default under this Lease.

         21. Personal Property of Tenant. All loss or damage to personal
property of Tenant located in or on the Demised Premises shall be at the sole
risk of Tenant, unless such loss or damage is caused by the gross negligence of
Landlord, and Tenant hereby waives any right of subrogation or recovery it may
have against Landlord for all loss or damage except loss or damage caused by
Landlord's gross negligence.

         22. Subordination and Attornment. This Lease is subject and subordinate
to all deeds to secure debt which may now or hereafter affect the Demised
Premises, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and
extensions thereof. This clause shall be self-operative and no further
instrument of subordination shall be required of any holder of security title in
confirmation of such subordination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant
covenants and agrees that it will, upon the written request of the party secured
by such deed to secure debt, execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument
that evidences the subordination of this Lease to said deed to secure debt.
Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that the party secured by any such deed
to secure debt shall have the right to recognize this Lease and, in the event of
a foreclosure sale under such deed to secure debt, this Lease may continue in
full force and effect at the option of such holder of security title or the
purchaser under such

                                       5

sale. Tenant hereby agrees that Tenant will recognize as its landlord under this
Lease, and shall attorn to, any person succeeding to the interest of Landlord
with respect to the land on which the Demised Premises is contained upon any
foreclosure of any deed to secure debt upon such land or upon the execution of
any deed in lieu of such foreclosure pursuant to such deed to secure debt.

         23. Estoppel Certificate. Tenant agrees, within seven (7) days after
written request by Landlord, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to and in favor
of any proposed grantee of security title to land containing the Demised
Premises, an estoppel certificate, in the form customarily used by such parties,
stating, among other things (i) whether this Lease is in full force and effect,
(ii) whether this Lease has been modified or amended and, if so, identifying and
describing any such modification or amendment, (iii) the date to which rent and
other charges have been paid, and (iv) whether Tenant knows of any default on
the part of Landlord or has any claim against Landlord and, if so, specifying
the nature of such default or claims.

         24. Notices. All notices required by this Lease or deemed advisable by
either party to the other shall be in writing and be transmitted with proper
prepaid postage by Certified U.S. Mail, Return Receipt Requested, and, unless

                           ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION OF
                        AND AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT

         This Assignment and Assumption of and Amendment to Lease Agreement
("Agreement"), is made effective this 24th day of May, 2000 ("Effective Date"),
by and among G&R, Inc, a Georgia corporation ("Landlord"), MALG, Inc., a Georgia
corporation ("Assignor") and K&G Men's Center, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Assignee").

         WHEREAS, by lease agreement dated May 1, 1999 between Landlord and
Assignor "Lease"), Landlord leased to Assignor and Assignor leased from Landlord
a premises located at 1777 Ellsworth Industrial Boulevard, Atlanta, Georgia
30318 ("Demised Premises");

         WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, as of
the Effective Date, the parties agree to amend the Lease, Assignor agrees to
assign this Lease to Assignee and Assignee agrees to assume all obligations
under the Lease and Landlord consents to such assignment, assumption and
amendment;

         NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, as of the Effective Date, the parties
agree as follows:

         I. AMENDMENT TO LEASE. The Lease is hereby amended as follows:

         A. Paragraph 2. Paragraph 2 of the Lease is amended to add a second
five (5) year option to extend the Term ("Second Extended Term"), which option
shall be exercised by giving written notice of same to Landlord no later than
six (6) months prior to expiration of the Extended Term. Base Rent during the
Second Extended Term shall be at Fair Market Value. The Fair Market Value shall
be determined as follows:

         (1) Appraisal Method to Determine Fair Market Value of Base Rent.

                  (a) Appraisal. If within thirty (30) days after Tenant's
exercise of its option for the Second Extended Term, the parties cannot agree
upon the Base Rent to be paid at the commencement of the Second Extended Term,
then, within thirty (30) days thereafter, each party, at its own cost, and by
giving notice to the other party, shall appoint an M.A.I. real estate appraiser
or licensed real estate broker familiar with similar properties in the market
area of the Demised Premises to determine the Fair Market Value of the Base Rent
for such term. If a party does not appoint an appraiser within such thirty (30)
day period, the single appraiser appointed shall be the sole appraiser and shall
set the Base Rent for the Second Extended Term.

                  (b) Meeting. If two (2) appraisers are chosen pursuant to
subparagraph (a) above, the appraisers so chosen shall meet within ten (10) days
after the second appraiser is appointed and, if within forty five (45) days
after such first meeting the two (2) appraisers shall be unable to agree, they
shall, as an express condition of their respective employment, appoint a third
appraiser who shall be a competent and impartial person with qualifications
similar to those required of the first two (2) appraisers. If they are unable to
agree upon such appointment within

<PAGE>   2

five (5) days after expiration of said forty-five (45) day period, the third
appraiser shall be selected by the parties, if they can agree thereon, within a
further period of five (5) days. If the parties do not so agree, then either
party, on behalf of both, may request appointment of such a qualified person by
a Judge of the Fulton County Superior Court, and the other party shall not raise
any question as to such Judge's full power and jurisdiction to entertain the
application for and make the appointment. The three (3) appraisers shall decide
the dispute if it has not previously been resolved by following the procedure
set forth in subparagraph (c) below.

                  (c) Procedure. Where an issue cannot be resolved by either
agreement between the two (2) appraisers selected by the parties or settlement
between the parties, the issue shall be resolved by the three (3) appraisers in
accordance with the following procedure. No later than thirty (30) days before
the expiration of the Extended Term, the appraiser selected by each of the
parties shall state in writing his or her determination of the-then fair market
value for the Base Rent for the Demised Premises, supported by the reasons
therefor. The appraisers shall arrange for a simultaneous exchange of such
proposed resolutions. The role of the third appraiser shall be to select, no
later than fifteen (15) days before the expiration of the Extended Term, which
of the two (2) proposed resolutions most closely approximates his or her
determination of the-then Fair Market Value of the Base Rent for the Demised
Premises. The third appraiser shall have no right to propose a middle ground or
any modification of either of the two (2) proposed resolutions. The resolution
he or she chooses as most closely approximating his or her determination shall
constitute the decision of the appraisers and be final and binding upon the
parties.

                  (d) Failure to Act. Upon a failure, refusal or inability of
any appraiser to act, his or her successor shall be appointed by him or her, but
in the case of the third appraiser, his or her successor shall be appointed in
the same manner as provided for appointment of the third appraiser. The
appraisers shall attempt to decide the issue within ten (10) days after the
appointment of the third appraiser. Each party shall pay the fee and expenses of
its respective appraiser and both shall share the fee and expenses of the third
appraiser, if any. Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees and expenses.

                  (e) Determination After Commencement of Second Extended Term.
In the event that the Fair Market Value of the Base Rent for the Second Extended
Term is not established prior to the first day of the Second Extended Term, then
Tenant shall continue to pay as Base Rent the Base Rent in effect during the
last month of the Extended Term until such time as a determination of Fair
Market Value of such Base Rent has been made. Within fifteen (15) days following
such determination, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or Landlord shall refund to
Tenant, the difference, if any, between Base Rent paid during such period and
Base Rent determined for the Second Extended Term, plus interest, at LIBOR plus
one percent (1%), calculated from the first day of the Second Extended Term
until the date of such payment or repayment.

         B. Paragraph 4. Paragraph 4 of the Lease is amended to provide that
neither a late charge nor interest shall be assessed unless a delinquent payment
is not received within five (5) days after receipt of written notice of
non-payment; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to provide
more than two (2) such notices in any calendar year during the Term, including
extensions.

         C. Paragraph 5. Paragraph 5 of the Lease is amended to provide that the
Demised Premises may be used for any legal retail use.

         exterior), foundation, roof, and HVAC system and to comply with

         Premises [collectively, "Structural Maintenance"] shall not exceed Two
         Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) during each five (5) year period
         of the Term, including extensions (i.e., May 1, 1999-April 30, 2004
         (prorated from the Effective Date through the end of the Term); May 1,
         2004-April 30, 2009; May 1, 2009-April 30, 2014) ["Tenant's Maintenance
         Cap"]. Only those costs incurred by Tenant for Structural Maintenance
         shall be included in the calculation of Tenant's Maintenance Cap. Any
         Structural Maintenance required for the Demised Premises in excess of
         Tenant's Maintenance Cap shall be performed and paid for by Landlord.
         Tenant shall provide to Landlord an annual accounting of Structural
         Maintenance costs incurred during each lease year, or partial lease
         year. Additionally, Tenant agrees that it shall obtain no fewer than
         two (2) bids for any Structural Maintenance cost item in excess of Ten
         Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00)."

         insurance covering the Demised Premises against (i) loss or damage by
         fire, lightning, vandalism, malicious mischief and flood, (ii) such
         other hazards as are presently included in so-called "all risk"
         replacement cost insurance, and (iii) any other insurance hazards as,
         under good insurance practices, from time to time, are insured against
         for properties of similar character and location. The amount of such
         insurance shall not be less than the full replacement cost of

<PAGE>   4

         the building and improvements on the Demised Premises without deduction
         for depreciation. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord the cost of the
         premium for such insurance within thirty (30) days following receipt of
         a copy of the premium statement and a certificate of insurance."

         H. Paragraph 11. Paragraph 11 of the Lease is deleted in its entirety
and the following inserted in its stead:

         Demised Premises. During such period of repair, this Lease shall remain
         in full force and effect; provided, however, that Base Rent shall be
         abated to the extent that the Demised Premises is untenantable.
         Following Landlord's repair work, Tenant shall repair and/or replace
         all trade fixtures, furniture and equipment in the Demised Premises
         which are damaged by such casualty. In the event that such casualty
         occurs during the last two (2) years of the Term and the period
         required to repair the Demised Premises exceeds six (6) months, Tenant
         may elect to terminate this Lease upon written notice, which notice
         shall be given within twenty (20) days following the expiration of said
         six (6) month period."

         I. Paragraph 15(a)(iv). Paragraph 15(a)(iv) of the Lease is deleted in
its entirety and the following inserted in its stead:

         "(iv) If Tenant fails to pay an installment of Rent when same shall

         such notices in any calendar year of the Term, including extensions."

         M. Paragraph 15.A. Paragraph 15.A. is inserted into the Lease, as
follows:

         "15.A. Landlord Defaults. Except in the case of an emergency, in which
         event immediate action shall be required by Landlord, Landlord shall
         not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required
         of Landlord within thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to
         Landlord and to the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust covering
         the Demised Premises whose name and address shall have theretofore been
         furnished to Tenant in writing; provided, however, that if the nature
         of Landlord's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are
         required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if
         Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and
         thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. If the default
         by Landlord has not been cured within the time limits prescribed
         herein, Tenant may, along with any other remedies available at law or
         in equity, terminate the Lease as a result of Landlord's default, or
