                  2.   LEASING AGREEMENT; TERM

     2.1. Leasing Agreement.  Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant
leases from Landlord upon and subject to the terms and conditions
set  forth  in  this  Lease  certain real  estate  consisting  of
approximately 1.4 acres of land, as legally described in attached
Exhibit  A, together with all easements, rights and appurtenances
thereto, including, but not limited to all of Landlord's  rights,
if  any,  to  use  any common areas, parking, access  drives  and
sidewalks  in any center of which the real estate may be  a  part
(the  "Land").   The  Land is commonly known as  8310  East  96th
Street,  Fishers, ("City"), Hamilton County, Indiana.  The  Land,
together  with the restaurant and other related improvements  now
or  hereafter thereon ("Improvements"), are referred to  in  this
Lease as the "Premises."  The Premises are leased subject to  all
restrictions, covenants, encumbrances and other matters of record
on the date of this Lease.

2.2. Term.  The term of this Lease ("Term") shall commence
("Commencement Date") on the Effective Date and, unless extended
or earlier terminated as provided herein, shall expire
("Expiration Date") at midnight on the last day of the twentieth
(20th) "Lease Year" thereafter.  "Lease Year" shall mean and
refer to that period of twelve (12) full consecutive calendar
months beginning with the first full calendar month of the Term
and each subsequent period of twelve (12) consecutive calendar
months during the Term, provided that if the Term commences on
other than the first day of a calendar month, then the initial
fractional month of the Term plus the next succeeding twelve (12)
full calendar months shall constitute the first Lease Year of the
Term and provided, further, that if this Lease is terminated
prior to the Expiration Date, the last Lease Year may contain
less than twelve (12) full calendar months.
2.3. Extension of the Term.  Provided that this Lease is in full
force and effect and no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Tenant shall have the option to extend the Term for
up to four (4) successive periods of five (5) Lease Years each
upon all of the provisions of this Lease, which extension options
shall automatically be deemed exercised two hundred seventy (270)
days prior to the then current Expiration Date without the
requirement for any further notice; provided, however, that
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease (and void any
such automatic extension and all remaining extension options)
effective as of any then current Expiration Date by giving
written notice thereof to Landlord not less than two hundred
seventy (270) days before such then current Expiration Date; and
provided, further, that this Lease shall not be automatically
extended (and Tenant shall be deemed to have given written notice
of non-renewal) if on the date which is two hundred seventy (270)
days prior to the then current Expiration Date an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, and in such event this
Lease shall terminate on the then current Expiration Date.  If
and each time this Lease is so extended, the word "Term" shall be
deemed to include the five (5) year extension period with respect
to which the option has been exercised and the term "Expiration
Date" shall mean the last day of such five (5) year extension
period.

2.4. Premises Leased "AS-IS".  LANDLORD HEREBY LEASES AND WILL
LEASE AND TENANT TAKES AND WILL TAKE THE PREMISES "AS IS," AND
TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LANDLORD (WHETHER ACTING AS LANDLORD
HEREUNDER OR IN ANY OTHER CAPACITY) HAS NOT MADE AND WILL NOT
MAKE, NOR SHALL LANDLORD BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE, ANY WARRANTY OR
REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE
PREMISES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OR
REPRESENTATION AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR USE, PURPOSE, DESIGN OR
CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, AS TO THE QUALITY OF
THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, LATENT OR PATENT, OR AS TO
VALUE, COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFICATIONS, LOCATION, USE, CONDITION,
MERCHANTABILITY, QUALITY, DESCRIPTION, DURABILITY OR OPERATION ,
IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL RISKS INCIDENT THERETO ARE TO BE BORNE
BY TENANT.  TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PREMISES ARE OF ITS
SELECTION AND TO ITS SPECIFICATIONS, AND THAT THE PREMISES HAVE
BEEN INSPECTED BY TENANT AND ARE SATISFACTORY TO IT.  IN THE
EVENT OF ANY DEFECT OR DEFICIENCY IN ANY OF THE PREMISES OF ANY
NATURE, WHETHER PATENT OR LATENT, LANDLORD SHALL NOT HAVE ANY
RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY WITH RESPECT THERETO OR FOR ANY
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT).  THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
SECTION 2.4 HAVE BEEN NEGOTIATED, AND THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS
ARE INTENDED TO BE A COMPLETE EXCLUSION AND NEGATION OF ANY
WARRANTIES BY LANDLORD, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ANY
OF THE PREMISES, ARISING PURSUANT TO STATUTE, JUDICIAL DECISION,
THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE OR ANY OTHER LAW, RULE, REGULATION OR
ORDER NOW OR HEREAFTER IN EFFECT OR OTHERWISE.

     Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant has examined  the
title to the Premises prior to the execution and delivery of this
Lease  and  has  found  such title to  be  satisfactory  for  the
purposes contemplated by this Lease.

     2.5. True Lease.  Landlord and Tenant intend for this Lease to be
a   true  lease  and  not  a  transaction  creating  a  financing
arrangement.   Each  party  shall take all  reasonable  steps  to
reflect  the  transaction represented hereby  in  all  applicable
books, records and reports (including, without limitation, income
tax  filings) in a manner consistent with "true lease"  treatment
rather than "financing" treatment.

2.6. Non-Terminable.  Except as and to the extent expressly set
forth in Section 2.3 (with respect to non-renewal of this Lease)
and in Article 11 of this Lease, Tenant shall have no right to
terminate this Lease.  Tenant shall remain obligated under this
Lease in accordance with its terms and shall not take any action
to terminate, rescind or avoid this Lease, notwithstanding any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution
or other proceeding affecting Landlord or any action with respect
to this Lease which may be taken by any trustee, receiver or
liquidator or by any court.

                            3.   RENT

     3.1. Base Rent.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord as annual base rent
("Base  Rent") the amount set forth in column (b) below  for  the
corresponding Lease Years set forth in column (a) below:

(a) Lease Year   (b) Annual Base Rent   (c)  Monthly Base Rent

[an  asterisk  (*) indicates an extension period; the  number  of
asterisks corresponds to the respective extension period.]

     Base  Rent shall be paid to Landlord in monthly installments
("Monthly  Base  Rent") in the respective amounts  set  forth  in
column  (c) above in advance on the first day of each  month  for
which  the  same  is due during the Term.  Rent for  any  partial
month shall be prorated on a per diem basis.

     3.2.  Payment.  All charges and costs payable by  Tenant  to
Landlord  or  any  other third party pursuant to  this  Lease  in
addition  to  Base  Rent shall be considered  "Additional  Rent".
Base   Rent  and  Additional  Rent  are  sometimes  referred   to
collectively   as  "Rent."   Except  as  otherwise   specifically
provided  in  this  Lease, all Rent shall be paid  by  Tenant  to
Landlord without notice, demand, offset, abatement, reduction  or
deduction  by check payable to Landlord and sent to  Landlord  at
the  address  indicated in Section 1.2 or to such  other  person,
entity  or  place as Landlord may from time to time designate  by
notice  to  Tenant.  If required by Landlord, Tenant  shall  make
payments  of  Monthly Base Rent to Landlord by wire  transfer  in
immediately available federal funds to such account in such  bank
as  Landlord may designate from time to time upon not  less  than
thirty  (30) days' notice to Tenant, which account shall  be  the
same account to which Tenant and/or Tenant's affiliates who lease
other  properties from Landlord named herein (or its  affiliates)
wire transfer payments of Monthly Base Rent for at least nine (9)
other  properties.   Monthly Base Rent for the  period  from  and
including  the Commencement Date through and including  the  last
day of the first full calendar month of the Term shall be paid in
advance on the Commencement Date.

3.3. Late Payments.  If Tenant shall fail to make payment of any
installment of Base Rent or any Additional Rent payable to
Landlord (rather than to a third party) within ten (10) days
after the date when each such payment is due, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord interest at a rate equal to the Default Rate (as
hereinafter defined) on the amount unpaid computed from the date
such payment of Base Rent or Additional Rent was due to and
including the date of payment thereof (but only with respect to
amounts payable directly to Landlord or that are not otherwise
subject to an interest or similar charge that will be treated as
Base Rent or Additional Rent hereunder).  Further, if any
installment of Monthly Base Rent is not paid within fifteen (15)
days after the date the same is due, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, on demand, as Additional Rent, a late charge (the "Late
Charge") equal to four percent (4%) of such overdue installment
of Monthly Base Rent.

3.4. Net Lease.  This is a net lease and Base Rent, Additional
Rent and, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all
other sums payable hereunder by Tenant shall be paid without
defense (other than defense of prior payment), notice, demand,
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, abatement, suspension,
deferment, diminution, deduction or reduction.  During the Term
of this Lease, Tenant shall be obligated to pay and shall be
liable for all costs and expenses associated with or arising from
the use, operation, maintenance, repair or improvements of the
Premises (regardless of whether such costs and expenses are
charged or imposed against Landlord or Tenant).

                           4.   TAXES

 4.1. As used in this Lease, the term "Premises Taxes" shall mean
all  real  estate, personal property, ad valorem and other  taxes
and  assessments, general and special, and all other governmental
charges  levied, assessed or imposed on or with  respect  to  the
Premises  or  which  arise  from  the  ownership,  leasing,  use,
occupancy  or  possession of all or any portion of the  Premises.
Without  limitation  of the foregoing, it is hereby  specifically
agreed  that  "Premises  Taxes"  include  all  taxes  and   other
governmental charges assessed or levied (i) on or with respect to
any  Base  Rent  or  Additional Rent payable  under  this  Lease,
(ii) with respect to any period prior to or during the Term,  and
(iii)  any  interest, penalties, fines and other amounts  charged
for   late   payment  or  non-payment  of  any  Premises   Taxes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Premises Taxes shall  not  include
(A)  any  taxes  or  assessments imposed on or  with  respect  to
Tenant's  Property (as defined in Section 9.1), (B)  any  income,
franchise or other taxes measured by Landlord's income or  profit
from  the  Premises on a net basis, other than  any  sales,  use,
rent, occupancy or similar taxes on or with respect to Base  Rent
or  Additional  Rent, or (C) any gifts, estate or other  transfer
taxes imposed on Landlord.

     4.2. Payment.

          (a)  Tenant shall pay Premises Taxes to the appropriate
     governmental  authority before delinquency  and  before  any
     interest, penalties or fines may be charged with respect thereto
     and  shall deliver a copy of all paid tax bills to  Landlord
     promptly upon request.

(b)  If any Premises Taxes relate to a fiscal period which is
partly within and partly outside of the period for which Tenant
is responsible, the amount thereof shall be prorated so that
Tenant will be responsible for that portion which relates to the
period prior to and after the Commencement Date and through the
Expiration Date and Landlord will be responsible for the portion
after the Expiration Date.

(c)  Any refunds (including any accrued interest) of Premises
Taxes applicable to the period prior to and during the Term shall
be the property of Tenant and to the extent received by Landlord
shall be paid over to Tenant promptly after receipt thereof.  Any
refund of Premises Taxes shall be deemed a reduction of
Additional Rent hereunder.

  4.3. Contest.  Subject to the provisions hereof, Tenant, at its
own  expense, may contest Premises Taxes in any manner  permitted
by  law, in Tenant's name, and, whenever necessary, in Landlord's
name  and  Landlord  will  cooperate at Tenant's  sole  cost  and
expense with Tenant and execute any documents reasonably required
for  such purpose.  Any such contest shall be conducted by Tenant
in  good  faith and at its sole cost and expense, by  appropriate
proceedings  which shall operate during the pendency  thereof  to
prevent  (i)  the collection of, or other realization  upon,  the
Premises Taxes so contested, (ii) the sale, forfeiture or loss of
the Premises, any Base Rent or any Additional Rent to satisfy the
same, (iii) any interference with the use or occupancy of any  of
the  Premises, and (iv) any interference with the payment of  any
Base  Rent  or the portion of any Additional Rent that  does  not
represent  the Premises Taxes being contested under this  Section

4.3.  In no event shall Tenant pursue any contest with respect to
any  Premises  Taxes  in  any manner  that  exposes  Landlord  to
(a)  criminal  liability,  penalty or  sanction,  (b)  any  civil
liability,  penalty  or sanction for which Tenant  has  not  made
provisions  reasonably acceptable to Landlord, or (c)  defeasance
of  its  interest  the Premises.  Tenant agrees  that  each  such
contest  shall  be  diligently prosecuted to a final  conclusion.
Tenant shall pay and save Landlord harmless from and against  any
and  all losses, judgments, decrees and costs (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with  any
such contest and shall, promptly after the final determination of
such contest, fully pay and discharge the amounts which shall  be
levied,  assessed,  charged or imposed or  be  determined  to  be
payable  therein  or in connection therewith, together  with  all
penalties,  fines,  interest, costs and expenses  thereof  or  in
connection therewith.

Landlord, any Landlord Lender and their respective managers,
partners, members, officers, directors, shareholders, employees
and agents ("Landlord Indemnitees") from and against any and all
claims, demands, actions, liabilities, damages, assessments,
losses, fines, penalties, costs and expenses, including
remediation, clean-up and detoxification costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees, arising from or related to any breach or
violation by Tenant of its obligations set forth in Section
5.2(a).  The provisions of Section 5.2 shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Lease.
(c)  Upon Landlord's request, at any time after the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default or at such
other time as Landlord has reasonable grounds to believe that
Tenant is in violation of Tenant's Compliance Obligation, Tenant
shall cause an inspection or audit of the Premises by an
environmental engineer or other appropriate consultant reasonably
approved by Landlord to determine the presence or absence of
Hazardous Substances on the Premises.  If Tenant fails to
effectuate the commencement of such inspection or audit within
thirty (30) days after such request or fails to deliver a written
report of such inspection or audit to Landlord within sixty (60)
days after such request, Landlord may order the same, and Tenant
hereby grants to Landlord and its respective employees,
contractors and agents access to the Premises upon prior
reasonable notice to undertake such inspection or audit, provided
that such inspection or audit does not interfere with the conduct
of Tenant's business on the Premises, Landlord provides Tenant
certificates of insurance naming Tenant as an additional insured
and containing such types of insurance and limits as Tenant
reasonably requires, Landlord promptly repairs any damage caused
by such testing and restores the Premises to the condition in
which it existed immediately prior to such damage at Landlord's
sole cost and expense, and Landlord shall indemnify Tenant if and
to the extent required under Section 14.2 hereof for all loss,
cost, damage, liens, claims, liabilities or expenses (including,
but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and
disbursements) incurred by Tenant arising from or by reason of
such inspection or audit.  The cost of such inspection or audit
shall be paid (i) by Tenant if such inspection or audit shall
confirm a violation of Tenant's Compliance Obligation or (ii) by
Landlord if such inspection or audit does not confirm a violation
of Tenant's Compliance Obligation.
(d)  Landlord and Tenant expressly agree that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease (including, but
not limited to, the provisions of Section 14.1 hereof), except in
the case of Tenant's obligations expressly set forth under
Sections 5.2(a), (b) and (c) hereof, Tenant shall have no
obligation under this Lease (i) to defend, indemnify or hold
harmless Landlord or Landlord Indemnitees with respect to any
Hazardous Substance, Environmental Laws or HS Activity, (ii) to
engage any environmental engineer or appropriate consultant with
respect to any Hazardous Substance, Environmental Laws or HS
Activity, (iii) to conduct any audit or inspection of the
Premises with respect to any Hazardous Substance, Environmental
Laws or HS Activity, (iv) to comply or cause compliance with any
Environmental Laws, or (v) to perform or cause performance of any
Remedial Work with respect to any Hazardous Substance,
Environmental Laws or HS Activity.

     5.3. Landlord Obligations.  On or after the Commencement Date,
Landlord shall not conduct any HS Activity on, about or from  the
Premises.   Landlord  shall promptly give  notice  to  Tenant  if
Landlord  becomes aware of any action, claim, suit or  proceeding
relating to a violation or alleged violation of any Environmental
Laws  filed or threatened against Landlord or the Premises or  if
Landlord  has received notice or has actual knowledge of  any  HS
Activity on the Premises caused by a person other than Tenant  or
any Tenant Party.

                6.   COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS

     6.1. Compliance With Law.  During the Term, Tenant shall comply,
and  shall cause the Premises to comply, in all material respects
with  and  shall  correct any violation of  any  laws,  statutes,
ordinances  and  other legal and insurance requirements,  whether
now or hereafter in force, applicable to the Premises or Tenant's
use  or  occupancy of the Premises, including without limitation,
the  Occupational Safety and Health Act, as amended ("OSHA"), the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended ("ADA"), and,
subject  to  Section 5.2, all Environmental Laws.   Tenant  shall
procure,  maintain and comply, and shall cause  the  Premises  to
comply,  with any and all permits, approvals, licenses and  other
governmental   authorizations  required  for  the   lawful   use,
operation, maintenance and any "Alteration" (hereinafter defined)
of the Premises.

6.2. Compliance With Permitted Encumbrances.  Tenant agrees that
with respect to all easements, conditions, covenants,
restrictions, encumbrances or agreements now affecting the
Premises or which are hereafter created by or consented to by
Tenant (collectively, the "Permitted Encumbrances"), Tenant shall
observe, perform and comply with, and cause the Premises to
comply with, and carry out and perform all of the obligations
therein which are to be observed and performed by the owner or
any occupant of the Premises thereunder, and shall pay all
assessments, fees, costs and expenses required to be paid by the
owner or any occupant of the Premises thereunder.

                   7.   COVENANT AGAINST LIENS

     7.1.  Liens.  Tenant shall not cause, suffer or  permit  any
mechanic's, materialmen's judgment or other lien ("Lien")  to  be
filed  against the Premises (other than any Lien arising  due  to
any  act  or  omission of Landlord or its agents); provided  that
nothing  herein  shall be deemed to limit the  rights  of  Tenant
Lender  under  Section 20.2 hereof.  If any Lien shall  be  filed
against  all or any portion of the Premises (other than any  Lien
arising  due  to any act or omission of Landlord or its  agents),
(i)  Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord within ten (10)
business days after the date on which Tenant first becomes  aware
of  the filing of any such Lien, and (ii) within forty-five  (45)
days after first becoming aware of such filing, (but in any event
before  any enforcement action to foreclose is taken with respect
to  such Lien), Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause
the  Lien  to  be  discharged of record or  bonded  over  by  any
statutory bonding procedure sufficient to prevent foreclosure  or
other  enforcement of such Lien, and shall deliver notice thereof
to  Landlord,  failing which Landlord shall have the  right,  but
shall   not   be   obligated,  to  discharge  the  Lien   without
investigating  the  validity  or amount  thereof.   Tenant  shall
reimburse Landlord on demand for any reasonable amounts  so  paid
or  incurred  by  Landlord,  including  reasonable  expenses  and
attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith.

     Notice is hereby given that Landlord shall not be liable for
any labor, services or materials furnished or to be furnished  to
Tenant, or to anyone holding any of the Premises through or under
Tenant, and that no mechanic's, materialman's or other Liens  for
any  such labor, services or materials shall attach to or  affect
the interest of Landlord in and to any of the Premises.

                     8.   USE AND ENJOYMENT

     8.1. Use.

     (a)  Unless otherwise approved in writing by Landlord, during the
     Term the Premises shall be used only for the operation of an
     Applebee's Restaurant, including without limitation, ancillary
     carry-out food service and the sale of beer, wine and  other
     alcoholic beverages, or, if a change in use is requested  by
     Franchisor, any other restaurant which may be affiliated with or
     franchised by Franchisor.  The Premises shall be attractive in
     appearance and Tenant shall conduct its business in a lawful and
     reputable manner.  Tenant shall not commit waste on the Premises
     and shall not occupy or use the Premises or permit the same to be
     used or occupied for any purpose or in any manner that violates
     any applicable legal or governmental requirement.

(b)  Tenant shall continuously operate a business pursuant to
Section 8.1(a) from the Premises during the Term of this Lease;
provided, however, that Tenant may temporarily cease its
operations at the Premises for (i) restoration, alteration and
repair obligations pursuant to the terms of its Franchise
Agreement; (ii) the performance of Alterations permitted under
this Lease; or (iii) as a result of any emergency, casualty or
event of force majeure.

(c)  All garbage, trash and refuse generated from the operation
of the business conducted on the Premises shall be placed in
appropriate garbage receptacles and, at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, removed from the Premises with sufficient frequency so
as to avoid any accumulation thereof outside of such receptacles.

  8.2. Exterior Signs, Awnings and Canopies.  Tenant, at its sole
cost  and  expense, may at any time and from time to time  during
the  Term  install, alter, and/or replace any  and  all  exterior
signs,  awnings and/or canopies as Tenant may determine, so  long
as  they  are  in  compliance with all applicable  laws  and  all
Permitted  Encumbrances.  Tenant, at its sole cost  and  expense,
shall  obtain  all necessary permits for all signs,  awnings  and
canopies  on  the Premises and shall maintain the  same  in  good
condition and repair.

8.3. Utilities.  Tenant shall arrange and contract, in its name,
for and pay when due all charges for water, gas, electricity,
cable TV, telephone, trash removal, scavenger service and other
utility services used or consumed on the Premises by Tenant or
its agents during the Term, all of which shall be separately
metered and billed to Tenant.

8.4. Quiet Enjoyment.  Landlord covenants with Tenant that
Tenant, upon paying Rent to Landlord and performing Tenant's
other covenants in this Lease, shall and may peaceably and
quietly have, hold, occupy, possess and enjoy the Premises during
the Term without any interference from Landlord or anyone
claiming by, through or under Landlord.

8.5. Signage Rights, Parking, Access, Easements.  Landlord
covenants with Tenant that Landlord shall not engage in any
action, or grant any rights which affect parking at the Premises,
access to the Premises, means of ingress and egress to and from
the Premises, visibility to or from the Premises, Tenant's
signage at the Premises or rights to the roof of the Premises,
any telecommunications equipment or utilities which service the
Premises, Tenant's air rights and any other rights to which
Tenant may be entitled pursuant to any easement agreements or
similar agreements affecting the Premises without Tenant's prior
written consent, which may be granted or withheld in Tenant's
sole discretion but shall not be unreasonably withheld if such
action will not materially adversely affect the conduct of
Tenant's business at the Premises.  Landlord agrees to deliver to
Tenant copies of any notices Landlord receives with respect to
the aforementioned rights.  Landlord agrees that so long as no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon
request by Tenant (and only after all documentation reasonably
required to consummate the relevant transaction shall have been
provided to Landlord), Landlord shall (i) enter into, modify or
grant such easements, covenants, waivers, approvals or
restrictions for utilities, parking or other matters as Tenant
may desire for the operation of the Premises (including, without
limitation, consenting to site and common area changes affecting
access, parking, tenant mix and the like and approving uses or
users of the other properties in the vicinity of the Premises
which Tenant reasonably believes will have a positive impact on
its business at the Premises) (collectively, "Easements"), or
(ii) dedicate or transfer, minor non-essential unimproved
portions of the Premises for road, highway or other public
purposes to the extent such dedications or transfers are
consistent with commercially reasonable development or operation
of the Premises or, in Tenant's reasonable judgment, will have a
positive impact on its business at the Premises (the
"Dedications"); provided, that Landlord shall be obligated to
take such action only if (A) any such Easements or Dedications do
not adversely affect the value of the Premises (other than to a
de minimis extent), do not unreasonably render the use of the
Premises dependent upon any other property or unreasonably
condition the use of the Premises upon the use of any other
property, and do not adversely affect (other than to a de minimis
extent) the use, or visibility of, or access to, the Premises,
(B) Tenant advises Landlord of the amount of the consideration,
if any, being paid for such Easements or Dedications and that
Tenant considers such consideration, if any, to be fair under the
circumstance and that such consideration, if any, shall be paid
to Landlord, (C) Tenant acknowledges in writing that for so long
as this Lease is in effect, Tenant will perform all obligations,
if any, of Landlord under the applicable instrument and Tenant
will remain obligated under this Lease and AAG (if the Guaranty
is then in effect) acknowledges in writing that AAG will remain
obligated under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with
their respective terms, and (D) Tenant pays all out-of-pocket
costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with said
Easements or Dedications including, without limitation reasonable
attorneys' fees.  Subject to the foregoing clauses (A) through
(D), Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant's efforts to enter into
any Dedications or Easements.

     If  Tenant shall submit a request to Landlord for Landlord's
cooperation  in connection with any such Easement  or  Dedication
which  requires Landlord's approval or execution of any document,
Landlord  shall  (x)  approve such Easement  or  Dedication,  and
execute   and  deliver  to  Tenant  all  documents  required   in
connection therewith, within ten (10) days of receiving  Tenant's
request  for  approval, or (y) disapprove Tenant's request  in  a
written  notice  with a detailed explanation  of  its  objections
delivered  to  Tenant within ten (10) days of receiving  Tenant's
request  for approval.  If Landlord fails to respond within  such
ten  (10)  day  period,  Tenant's request with  respect  to  such
Easement or Dedication shall be deemed to be approved by Landlord
hereunder  and  Tenant  is  hereby authorized  and  empowered  to
execute and deliver on behalf of Landlord, as Landlord's attorney-
in-fact,  all  instruments and documents required  in  connection
therewith.

      If  Landlord  timely disapproves of a Tenant request  under
this  Section  8.5, then Tenant may elect, by delivering  written
notice   to   Landlord,  to  resolve  the  matter  by   expedited
arbitration  in  accordance with this  paragraph.   Landlord  and
Tenant shall mutually select a single arbitrator within ten  (10)
days  after delivery of Tenant's notice of arbitration hereunder.
If  the  parties  cannot  agree upon an  arbitrator  within  such
period, then either party may request that a qualified arbitrator
be   appointed   by  the  office  of  the  American   Arbitration
Association located nearest to the Premises.  Following selection
or   appointment,   the  arbitrator  shall  meet   jointly   with
representatives of Landlord and Tenant within twenty (20) days to
consider  the  parties' positions on the disputed issue  and  the
arbitrator  shall  render  a  written  decision  within  two  (2)
business  days  following  such meeting.   The  decision  of  the
arbitrator   shall  be  final,  binding  on   the   parties   and
nonappealable.  The arbitration shall otherwise be  conducted  in
accordance with the American Arbitration Association's rules  for
expedited  dispute resolution in effect at the  time.   The  non-
prevailing   party  in  any  such  arbitration  shall   pay   the
arbitrator's fee and expenses.

8.6. Warranties, Guaranties and Indemnities.  Landlord assigns to
Tenant,  without recourse or warranty whatsoever, all warranties,
guaranties  and  indemnities, express  or  implied,  and  similar
rights  which Landlord may have against any manufacturer,  seller
(other than the Seller under the Purchase and Sale Agreement from
whom  Landlord  acquired the Premises), engineer,  contractor  or
builder  with respect to the Premises, including, but not limited
to,  any  rights and remedies existing under contract or pursuant
to  the Uniform Commercial Code (collectively, the "guaranties").
Such  assignment shall remain in effect during the Term. Landlord
hereby  agrees  to execute and deliver at Tenant's  expense  such
further  documents,  including powers of  attorney  (which  shall
contain indemnity agreements from Tenant to Landlord which  shall
be  in  form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord), as Tenant  may
reasonably request in order that Tenant may have the full benefit
of  the  assignment  of guaranties effected  or  intended  to  be
effected  by  this  Section  8.6.   Upon  the  occurrence  of   a
termination  of  this  Lease, the guaranties shall  automatically
revert to Landlord.

               9.   TENANT'S PROPERTY; LIEN WAIVER

     9.1. Tenant's Property.  Landlord agrees that all (i) fixtures,
furniture,  furnishings, equipment (other  than  floor  and  wall
coverings,  fixtures  which  are  "built-ins"  or  constitute  an
integral  part  of  the Building, the walk-in cooler,  heat,  air
conditioning and ventilation systems, electrical, mechanical  and
plumbing  systems, all of which are owned by and are the property
of   Landlord),  Kitchen  Equipment  (as  hereinafter   defined),
inventory, merchandise, goods, chattels, trade fixtures, signage,
appliances  display  cases, supplies, tools, machinery,  security
systems,  computer software or other personal property of  Tenant
(including, without limitation, trade fixtures in, on, around  or
affixed to the Premises), (ii)  fixtures, furniture, furnishings,
equipment, supplies, tools, machinery, security systems, computer
software, signage and other personal property (including, without
limitation,  trade  fixtures in, on, around  or  affixed  to  the
Premises) which display the name, trade name, trademark,  service
mark,  logo,  insignia, slogan, emblem or  symbol  of  Applebee's
International  Inc.'s  ("Franchisor") or of Tenant  ("Distinctive
Property"),  and  (iii)  all  licenses,  permits,  approvals  and
authorizations, if any, which are required in connection with the
operation  of  Tenant's business, including, without  limitation,
all  liquor  licenses,  at  any  time  located  on  the  Premises
(collectively, "Tenant's Property"), shall be and  at  all  times
remain the property of Tenant regardless of whether the same  (x)
is affixed to the Improvements on the Land or the manner in which
the  same is affixed (unless permanently affixed) or (y) may  now
or  hereafter be regarded as a fixture or as property of Landlord
by  operation of law or otherwise, unless, however, such fixtures
and equipment cannot be removed without substantial damage to any
Improvements which cannot be easily repaired.  As used herein the
term  "Kitchen  Equipment"  shall  include,  without  limitation,
kitchen   fixtures  (except  for  sanitary  plumbing   fixtures),
counters, stainless steel equipment, ranges, ovens, display cases
and  refrigeration  equipment  (excluding  the  walk-in  cooler).
Tenant  shall  have the right at any time and from time  to  time
during  the  Term and, subject to the provisions of Section  16.2
below,  within  fifteen (15) days after the end of  the  Term  to
remove any Tenant's Property from the Premises.

9.2. Waiver of Landlord's Lien.  Tenant contemplates financing
from time to time some or all of Tenant's Property with a lender
or vendor ("TE Lender") who will require a security interest
therein (those items of Tenant's Property which are subject to
such security interest being referred to collectively as
"Financed Personalty").  Landlord hereby disclaims and waives any
and all liens or right which Landlord may have to claim a lien
against the Tenant's Property for nonpayment of Rent or otherwise
and agrees to execute and deliver promptly upon request a waiver
with respect thereto.

            10.  ALTERATIONS; MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

     10.1.     Alterations.

          (a)  Alterations.  For purposes of this Lease, any physical
     improvement, addition, enhancement or change with respect to all
     or any portion of the Premises is referred to as an "Alteration."
     Tenant or Franchisor shall have the right at any time and from
     time to time during the Term to make or cause to be made any
     Alteration in or to the Premises (i) without Landlord's consent,
     if such Alteration consists of the demolition of the Building and
     reconstruction of a new prototypical building  so  long  as:
     (A) the new building is constructed in compliance with applicable
     codes and Permitted Exceptions, (B) Tenant continues to pay Rent,
     (C) construction is completed within nine (9) months following
     demolition of the Building, subject to extension  for  force
     majeure  events, (D) Landlord has approved  in  advance  the
     construction budget (which shall include a contingency) for the
     new building, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld,
     delayed or conditioned, and (E) either (y) in the case where the
     Guaranty is in full force and effect prior to demolition Tenant
     has provided Landlord with a commercially reasonable completion
     bond for the project or such other assurance of performance as
     Landlord may reasonably accept, or (z) prior to demolition the
     Tenant deposits with Landlord cash (the "Deposit") sufficient to
     construct the building and improvement pursuant to the approved
     budget,  with  the Deposit being disbursed pursuant  to  the
     Landlord's then current construction disbursement procedures;
     (ii) without Landlord's consent, if such Alteration is performed
     in  order  to  comply with any of Tenant's  agreements  with
     Franchisor and such Alteration does not adversely affect any
     structural component of the Building, and (iii) in the case of
     any  Alteration other than those permitted under clause (ii)
     above, with Landlord's prior consent, which consent shall not be
     unreasonably withheld provided that such Alteration does not
     (A) diminish the value of the Premises (including, by way of
     example only, but without limitation, by diminishing the utility
     of the Improvements for use as a restaurant or diminishing the
     useful life of the Improvements, except to a de minimis extent,
     or (B) adversely affect any structural component of the Building.
     Every Alteration shall be made in accordance with all applicable
     laws, legal requirements and the Permitted Encumbrances.  If
     Tenant shall submit a request to Landlord for Landlord's approval
     of an Alteration which requires Landlord's approval, Landlord
     shall  (x) approve such Alteration proposed by Tenant within
     twenty-one (21) days of receiving Tenant's proposal and request
     for approval or (y) disapprove Tenant's proposal in writing with
     a detailed explanation of its objections within twenty-one (21)
     days of receiving Tenant's proposal and request for approval.  If
     Tenant submits a proposal to Landlord and Landlord disapproves
     such proposal within the twenty-one (21) day time period, Tenant
     may submit another proposal with modifications thereto made in
     response to Landlord's objections and Landlord shall so approve
     or disapprove same within seven (7) days after submission of such
     modified proposal.  If Landlord does not approve or disapprove
     any proposal or modified proposal in writing with a detailed
     explanation of its objections within the applicable seven (7)  or
     twenty-one (21) day period, Tenant may submit to Landlord  a
     reminder notice, which shall state that Landlord's failure to
     disapprove the applicable proposal within seven (7) days after
     receipt of such reminder notice shall be deemed to constitute
     Landlord's approval thereof.  If Landlord does not disapprove
     such proposal or modified proposal in writing with a detailed
     explanation of Landlord's objections to Tenant's modifications
     within seven (7) days after receipt of Tenant's reminder notice,
     Landlord  shall  be deemed to have approved the  Alterations
     proposed by Tenant.

          (b)  In connection with any Alteration:  (i) the Alterations to
     be made will be constructed using materials of a quality and
     workmanship at least as good as the original work; (ii) all such
     Alterations shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner,
     and shall be performed diligently in a commercially reasonable
     time period subject to force majeure in compliance with all laws,
     legal requirements and the terms of all Permitted Encumbrances;
     (iii) all work done in connection with any such Alteration shall
     comply in all material respects with all requirements of any
     insurance policies in effect with respect to the Premises (the
     "Insurance Requirements"); (iv) Tenant shall pay when due all
     costs and expenses of any such Alteration, and shall discharge
     all liens filed against any of the Premises arising out of the
     same;  (v) Tenant shall procure and pay for all permits  and
     licenses required in connection with any such Alteration; (vi)
     all such Alterations shall be the property of Landlord and shall
     be  subject  to this Lease (except for any Alteration  which
     constitutes Tenant's Property); and (vii) all Alterations shall
     be  made  under the supervision of an architect or  engineer
     selected  by  Tenant  and  in  accordance  with  plans   and
     specifications which shall be submitted to Landlord prior to the
     commencement of the Alterations; provided, however, Landlord
     shall have no right to approve such architect, engineer, plans or
     specifications, except as expressly set forth in Section 10.1(a).

     10.2.     Maintenance and Repair.  During the Term, Tenant at its
sole  cost and expense, agrees to make all necessary repairs  and
replacements to the Improvements as often as required to keep and
maintain  the  Premises  in good and safe condition  and  repair.
Notwithstanding   any   provision  to  the   contrary,   Tenant's
obligations  under  this  Section shall not  include  making  any
repair  or  improvement necessitated by the act of Landlord,  its
agents,  employees or servants.  If Tenant shall default  in  its
obligations  under this Section 10.2, Landlord may, after  thirty
(30)  days  written  notice to Tenant and failure  by  Tenant  to
perform   any   necessary  repairs  and   replacements   to   the
Improvements  within  such  thirty (30)  day  period,  enter  the
Premises to commence such repairs or replacement.  All reasonable
sums  incurred by Landlord in connection with any such repair  or
replacement  shall constitute Additional Rent payable  by  Tenant
under  this Lease and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord  within
ten  (10) days of Tenant's receipt of a detailed invoice for such
charges.

              11.  CONDEMNATION AND CASUALTY DAMAGE

     11.1.     Substantial Taking.  If all or substantially all of the
Premises  is taken or appropriated for any public or quasi-public
use  or  purpose by any lawful power or authority by the exercise
of  the  right of eminent domain or by virtue of condemnation  or
other similar proceedings, including a deed given in lieu thereof
("Taking"), other than a temporary Taking for a period of one (1)
year  or  less,  this  Lease  shall  terminate  as  of  the  date
possession is required by the condemning authority and  Rent  and
all  other charges and costs payable hereunder shall be  adjusted
and paid to the effective date of termination.

     11.2.     Other Taking.

      (a)  If there shall be a Taking, other than a temporary Taking
     for a period of one (1) year or less, of (i) a portion of the
     Building, (ii) twenty percent (20%) or more of the parking area
     of the Premises, or (iii) any material part of a driveway or
     roadway necessary for access to the Premises, and in Tenant's
     reasonable judgment such Taking under clauses (i), (ii) or (iii),
     would render the Premises (or the remainder thereof) unsuitable
     for the conduct of Tenant's business, Tenant shall have the right
     to terminate this Lease as of the date possession is required by
     the condemning authority by giving notice to that effect  to
     Landlord within sixty (60) days after notice to Tenant of the
     date such possession is required.  In such event, Rent and all
     other charges and costs payable hereunder shall be adjusted and
     paid to the effective date of termination.

(b)  If only a portion of the Premises is subject to a Taking and
Tenant is not entitled to or shall not exercise its right to
terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 11.2(a), this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect, and there shall be no
abatement or reduction of Rent payable hereunder.  Tenant shall
make any and all repairs and restorations to the remainder of the
Premises to the extent necessary to render the same a complete
architectural unit suitable for Tenant's use.

     11.3.     Compensation.  (a) In the event that all or any portion
of the Premises is subject to a Taking, Landlord and Tenant shall
cooperate  to  maximize  the amount  of  the  recovery  from  the
condemning   authority.  If  the  recovery  from  the  condemning
authority  is  paid into a common fund or paid only to  Landlord,
such  recovery shall be allocated as follows and in the following
priority:  (i) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, to Tenant for the cost of any repairs required
pursuant  to Section 11.2(b), subject, however, to the provisions
of  Section  11.3(b)  hereof;  (ii)  to  Landlord,  that  portion
allocable to Land which is taken; (iii) to Landlord, that portion
allocable  to Improvements which are taken; (iv) to Tenant,  that
portion allocable to Tenant's Property or Tenant's relocation and
moving    expenses;   and   (v)   to   Landlord,   the   balance.
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing, all proceeds  from  a  temporary
Taking  shall  be  (A)  paid  to Tenant  if  this  Lease  is  not
terminated  and  (B)  equitably allocated  between  Landlord  and
Tenant as of the date of termination if this Lease is terminated.
The  provisions of this Section shall survive any termination  of
this Lease pursuant to Sections 11.1 or 11.2(a).

          (b)  If the proceeds from a Taking, and the estimated costs of
     repairs to be performed by Tenant pursuant to Section 11.2(b),
     exceeds One Hundred Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($125,000.00),
     then  such  proceeds shall be held by Landlord or Landlord's
     Lender, and Landlord shall cause the proceeds to be paid out from
     time to time to Tenant as the work progresses, subject to each of
     the following conditions:

           (i)  Each request for payment shall be made on not less than ten
          (10) business days' prior notice to Landlord, and shall be
          accompanied by an officer's certificate stating (A) that no Event
          of Default exists under this Lease and (B) that the sum requested
          is validly required to reimburse Tenant for payments by Tenant to
          complete the repair work, or is validly due to the contractor,
          subcontractors, materialmen, laborers, engineers, architects or
          other persons rendering services or materials for the work
          (giving a brief description of such services and materials).  At
          the time of disbursement, no Event of Default shall have occurred
          and be continuing.

(ii) Each request for payment shall be accompanied by waivers of
lien reasonably satisfactory to Landlord covering that part of
the work for which payment or reimbursement has been made as of
the date shown on the current request.
(iii)     Landlord shall release to Tenant the amount requested
by Tenant, subject to the amount retained by Landlord in
accordance with subsection (iv) below, within ten (10) business
days of Tenant's satisfaction of the items set forth in
subsection (i) and (ii) above. Disbursements shall be made not
more frequently than once every thirty (30) days.
(iv) Except and to the extent that Tenant is already retaining a
like amount from its contractors, Landlord (or Landlord Lender)
may retain ten percent (10%) of the proceeds as retainage until
the repairs and restoration are substantially complete.
(v)  Proceeds held by Landlord in accordance with this Section
shall be held in an interest bearing account and any interest
earned on the proceeds shall be a part of the proceeds, and shall
be disbursed in accordance with this Lease. Landlord shall take
any interest earned into account for purposes of determining its
federal income tax liability, if any, and shall pay any income
taxes thereon.

     11.4.     Casualty Damage.

          (a)  If the Improvements or any portion thereof are damaged or
     destroyed by fire or other casualty ("Casualty"), and this Lease
     is  not terminated pursuant to Section 11.4(b) below, Tenant
     shall, promptly and diligently repair such damage and restore the
     Improvements as nearly as possible to the condition which existed
     prior to the occurrence of such Casualty or to any comparable or
     improved condition consistent with Tenant's or Franchisor's then-
     current store design and this Lease shall remain in full force
     and  effect  and Tenant shall continue to pay Rent.   Tenant
     promptly shall commence and diligently pursue to completion the
     repair, restoration and replacement of the damaged or destroyed
     Improvements, due allowance being made for time needed to obtain
     permits, adjust insurance and for delay on account of events of
     force majeure.  Such repair, restoration and replacement shall be
     performed  in  accordance with all  applicable  laws,  legal
     requirements  and Permitted Encumbrances.  Tenant  shall  be
     responsible  for the repair or replacement of  any  Tenant's
     Property damaged by such Casualty.  As used in this Lease the
     word  "destroyed" shall mean completely destroyed above  the
     foundation, or so substantially damaged as to require demolition
     to the foundation, or such other severity of damage as may be
     established  or  imposed by applicable governmental  law  or
     ordinance which, if suffered, would constitute total destruction
     or  require  demolition before repair or reconstruction  may
     commence.

(b)  If the Improvements or any portion thereof is damaged or
destroyed (i) during the last two (2) Lease Years of the Term (or
the Term as then extended) to the extent of twenty-five percent
(25%) or more of the replacement value thereof (exclusive of the
foundation) immediately prior to such Casualty; or (ii) by a
cause or peril which is not covered by the property insurance
required to be carried pursuant to Section 12.1(b) (excluding any
cause or peril arising from any act of Tenant or any of its
members, managers, officers, directors, employees, contractors,
agents, representatives, subtenants or assignees) or other
insurance which is then customarily being carried by a
commercially reasonable prudent operator of a facility similar to
the Premises; then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this
Lease by giving notice to that effect ("Termination Notice") to
Landlord within one hundred twenty (120) days after the
occurrence of the Casualty, in which event termination shall be
effective as of the date of such Casualty if the Building is
destroyed and otherwise as of the date Tenant vacates the
Premises following such Casualty.
(c)  If this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section 11.4,
Rent and all other charges and costs payable hereunder shall be
adjusted and paid to the effective date of termination, and all
proceeds of any insurance with respect to the Premises (exclusive
of Tenant's Property, which shall be paid to Tenant) shall be
paid to Landlord.

                         12.  INSURANCE

     12.1.     By Tenant.  Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall
obtain  and maintain (or cause to be obtained and maintained,  as
the case may be) the following insurance during the Term:

          (a)  Commercial general public liability insurance with limits of
     not less than Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) per
     occurrence.

(b)  All-risk property insurance covering all Improvements
constituting part of the Premises, including the Building, all
Alterations and other improvements (excluding Tenant's Property),
in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the
replacement cost thereof, including (i) ordinance or law coverage
including any amounts necessary to replace the undamaged portion
of the Building, to cover cost increases arising from changes in
building codes or other ordinances or laws and to cover costs of
debris removal, and (ii) boiler and machinery coverage;
(c)  Property insurance covering Tenant's Property in such
amounts as Tenant deems necessary or desirable;
(d)  A liquor liability policy with limits of not less than Five
Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) per occurrence and
Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) in the aggregate;
(e)  Workers' compensation and employer's liability insurance as
required by applicable law;
(f)  Insurance against loss or damage from explosion of any steam
or pressure boilers or similar apparatus located in or about the
Improvements in an amount not less than the actual replacement
cost of the Improvements and equipment located within the
Improvements;
(g)  If any portion of the improvements is located in an area
designated by the Federal Emergency Management Association as
having special flood and mud slide hazards, flood insurance in
the maximum available amount; and
(h)  Loss of rent insurance in amounts sufficient to compensate
Landlord for all Base Rent, Additional Rent and other amounts
payable hereunder for a period of not less than twelve (12)
months, the amount of such coverage to be adjusted annually to
reflect the Base Rent, Additional Rent and other amounts payable
during the succeeding twelve (12) month period.

     12.2.     General Requirements.  All insurance (and renewals
thereof)  required by this Article shall be issued by responsible
insurance  carriers authorized to do business  in  the  State  in
which  the Premises is located and having a claims paying ability
rating  of  not  less  than  "A-" by  Standard  &  Poor's  Rating
Services,  a  division of The McGraw-Hill Companies,  Inc.   Each
policy (and any renewal thereof) shall expressly provide that  it
shall  not  be cancelled or changed without at least thirty  (30)
days'  prior  written  notice to all  parties  insured  or  named
therein.   The  insurance described in Sections 12.1(a)  and  (d)
shall  include  Landlord  and  Landlord's  Lender,  if  any,   as
additional    insureds.     The    insurance    provided    under
Sections  12.1(b), (f) and (g) shall name Landlord each  Landlord
Lender  as  a  loss  payee with respect to any  losses,  and  any
proceeds  paid to Landlord thereunder shall be held and disbursed
by  Landlord on the same terms as those set forth in Section 11.3
(except that proceeds from losses of less than One Hundred Twenty-
five  Thousand  Dollars  ($125,000)  shall  be  paid  to  Tenant;
provided   that  no  Event  of  Default  has  occurred   and   is
continuing).  In the event of any Tenant financing, the  interest
of  Landlord  and Landlord's Lender, if any, under  the  property
insurance  described in Sections 12.1(b), (f) and  (g)  shall  be
senior  to  the  interest  of  any Tenant  Lender.   All  of  the
insurance   required  by  this  Article  shall  be  primary   and
noncontributing with any insurance which may be  carried  by  the
Landlord, shall afford coverage for all claims based on any  act,
omission,  event or condition which occurs or arises  during  the
policy  period,  and  may be obtained by endorsement  on  blanket
policy(ies) of insurance carried and maintained by Tenant.   Upon
issuance  and  each  renewal thereof,  Tenant  shall  deliver  to
Landlord  a certificate thereof and reasonable evidence  of  paid
premium, failing which Landlord shall have the right from time to
time after no less than ten (10) days' notice (except that if any
insurance required under Section 12.1 has lapsed, no prior notice
shall be necessary) to effect such insurance for no more than one
(1) year and all premiums paid by Landlord shall be reimbursed by
Tenant  upon  written demand.  The amount of  insurance  coverage
required in Sections 12.1(a) and (d) above each shall be  subject
to  increase from time to time (but not more frequently than once
every  five  (5) years) and upon not less than ninety  (90)  days
prior notice therefor from Landlord to Tenant; provided that  (y)
such  additional coverage is comparable and not  more  than  that
commonly  carried  by  owners  of  similar  properties   in   the
metropolitan  vicinity of the Premises, and (z)  such  additional
coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates.  Landlord
shall  have no interest in any insurance proceeds Tenant receives
for Tenant's Property and Landlord shall sign all documents which
are necessary or appropriate in connection with the settlement of
any claim or loss by Tenant with respect to Tenant's Property.

12.3.     Mutual Waiver of Subrogation.  Tenant agrees to have
all policies of fire and extended coverage insurance now or
hereafter carried by it with respect to the Improvements endorsed
with a clause substantially as follows:  "This insurance shall
not be invalidated should the insured waive in writing prior to a
loss any or all rights of recovery against any party for loss
occurring to the property described herein."  The obligation to
obtain such an endorsement shall be subject to the availability
thereof at commercially reasonable rates.  Landlord and Tenant
hereby waive all claims for recovery from each other for any loss
or damage to it or any of its property insured under valid and
collectible insurance policies to the extent of the proceeds
collected under such insurance policies.
                 13.  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

     13.1.     Consent Required.  Except as provided in Section 13.2
below  and Tenant financing pursuant to Article 20 below,  Tenant
shall  not sell, encumber, assign or transfer this Lease  or  any
interest  herein,  nor  sublet all or any part  of  the  Premises
without the prior written consent of Landlord which shall not  be
unreasonably  withheld, conditioned or delayed so  long  as  such
proposed  assignee  or  subtenant is  a  capable  operator  of  a
restaurant   facility   and   has  a  financial   condition   and
creditworthiness sufficient to meet the financial obligations  of
Tenant  under  this  Lease.  With respect  to  an  assignment  or
subletting   for  which  Landlord's  consent  is  required,   the
following provisions shall apply:

          (i)  there shall be submitted to Landlord current financial
          information and information regarding the business reputation and
          experience regarding the proposed assignee/sublessee;

(ii) the business reputation and experience of the proposed
assignee or sublessee (or the principals or owners thereof) shall
meet or exceed generally acceptable commercial standards for like
properties;
(iii)     in the case of an assignment, the proposed assignee
shall agree in writing to assume and abide by all terms and
provisions of this Lease from and after the date of such
assignment; and
(iv) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

     Landlord  agrees  to respond within twenty (20)  days  after
receipt  of  Tenant's  written  request  for  Landlord's  consent
(together   with  the  information  specified  above  and   other
information  reasonably  requested by  Landlord)  to  a  proposed
assignment  or sublet and submission of the financial information
and  business  qualifications of the proposed  assignee/sublessee
pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above.  Any disapproval shall be
explained  in writing.  If Landlord fails to respond  or  explain
its disapproval by the expiration of said twenty (20) day period,
Tenant  may  give  to  Landlord a reminder  notice  stating  that
Landlord's failure to respond within ten (10) days after  receipt
of  such reminder notice shall be deemed to constitute Landlord's
approval  of  the transaction in question, and if Landlord  shall
fail  to respond or explain its disapproval within ten (10)  days
after  receipt of such reminder notice, the transaction which  is
the  subject  of  Tenant's  notice to Landlord  shall  be  deemed
approved.   Consent by Landlord to any assignment  or  subletting
shall  not  waive  the necessity for consent  to  any  subsequent
assignment or subletting for which Landlord's consent is required
by this Section.

     13.2.      Permitted Transfer.  Tenant shall have the right,
without any cost, fee or payment to Landlord (other than  as  set
forth  in  Section  13.4 below), to sublet  any  portion  of  the
Premises,  or  to transfer and assign Tenant's right,  title  and
interest in this Lease, without Landlord's prior written consent,
to  the  following  persons and entities in the following  events
(each,   a   "Permitted  Transfer"):   (i)   to   Franchisor   or
Franchisor's  affiliate; (ii) to another licensed  franchisee  of
Franchisor; (iii) to a parent, subsidiary, affiliate or  division
of  Tenant,  Apple American Group LLC ("AAG") or their respective
investors;   (iv)  to  any  entity  that  acquires,  by   merger,
consolidation  or  otherwise, all or  substantially  all  of  the
ownership  interests in and control of, Tenant or  AAG  (provided
that  no  Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing)
or  of  Franchisor;  or (v) to any entity that  acquires  all  or
substantially  all of Tenant's assets (excluding the  Distinctive
Property)  or  AAG's assets (provided that no  Event  of  Default
shall  have  occurred and be continuing).  A direct  or  indirect
transfer  of  all or any interest in AAG shall not  be  deemed  a
sale,  encumbrance, assignment or transfer of this Lease  or  any
interest herein.  A direct or indirect transfer by AAG of all  or
any  interest  in Tenant shall not be deemed a sale, encumbrance,
assignment  or  transfer of this Lease or any  interest  therein;
provided, that the transferee is a party to whom, if the lessee's
interest  in  this  Lease were transferred to  such  party,  such
transfer would constitute a Permitted Transfer.  For purposes  of
this Section 13.2, references to Tenant, Franchisor and AAG shall
be deemed to include their respective successors and assigns.

13.3.     General Provisions.  In the case of any sublease or
assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall submit an executed copy of
the sublease or assignment instrument to Landlord.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be provided in
this Lease, (a) the Tenant making any assignment or sublease
shall not be released from any liability under this Lease as a
result of any assignment or sublease made pursuant to Section
13.1, and (b) the Tenant assigning all of its right, title and
interest under this Lease (and any predecessor Tenant that has
not theretofore been released) shall be released from all future
liability under this Lease in connection with any assignment of
all of such assigning Tenant's right, title and interest in this
Lease described in subsections (i), (ii), (iv) and (v) of Section
13.2, provided that (i) the assignee of an assignment or transfer
described in subsections (i), (ii), and (v) of Section 13.2
assumes all obligations under this Lease pursuant to an
assignment and assumption agreement in the form attached as
Schedule 1 to the Guaranty attached as Exhibit D hereto, and
(ii) if the Tenant making the assignment is not the originally
named Tenant hereunder, such assigning Tenant (and any
predecessor Tenant that has not theretofore been released) shall
not be released in the case of an assignment or transfer of such
assigning Tenant's right, title and interest in this Lease to
(X) any entity that acquires, by merger, consolidation or
otherwise, all or substantially all of the ownership interests in
and control of, such assigning Tenant pursuant to subsection (iv)
of Section 13.2 above other than with respect to Franchisor or
Franchisor's affiliate, or  (Y) any entity that acquires all or
substantially all of such assigning Tenant's assets pursuant to
subsection (v) of Section 13.2 above, unless the assignee or
transferor will directly or indirectly hold, after giving effect
to such assignment or transfer, all or substantially all of the
assets of the originally named Tenant hereunder.  Landlord shall
not be entitled to any consideration in connection with any
assignment or sublet.  Unless expressly released pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 13.3, a Tenant which assigns,
subleases or otherwise transfers its interest in this Lease or
the Premises shall remain fully liable for all of the
obligations, duties and liabilities of the Tenant under this
Lease following any such assignment, sublease or other transfer.
13.4.     Costs and Fees.  Tenant shall not be obligated to
reimburse Landlord for any cost, fee or payment incurred by
Landlord or Landlord's Lender in connection with any requests for
approval of an assignment of this Lease or any sublease of the
Premises other than reasonable costs and expenses incurred by
Landlord and Landlord Lender (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements); provided, however,
that if the assigning Tenant is Franchisor, a Franchisor
affiliate or an authorized franchisee of Franchisor (other than
the originally named Tenant hereunder), no such cost, fee or
payment shall be due or payable by such entity.

          possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any
          other occupant(s) thereof in accordance with applicable law
          ("Reentry"), and (B) Tenant shall have no further claim thereon
          or hereunder;

(ii) To terminate Tenant's right of possession of the Premises
without terminating this Lease by giving notice of such election
to Tenant, in which event (A) Tenant shall immediately surrender
possession thereof to Landlord, failing which Landlord may
exercise the right of Reentry, and (B) Landlord shall have the
right to occupy the Premises for and on account of Tenant and to
collect any unpaid rentals and other charges which have or may
thereafter become due and payable;
(iii)     To exercise the rights described in clause (ii) above
and thereafter elect to terminate this Lease and all of Tenant's
rights in or to the Premises by giving notice of such election to
Tenant; or
(iv) To exercise any other right or remedy now or hereafter
existing by law or in equity.

          (b)  If Landlord reenters the Premises under clause (a)(ii)
     above,  such reentry or any action, in unlawful detainer  or
     otherwise, to obtain possession of the Premises shall not be
     deemed to be an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease, or
     Tenant's  liability to pay rent or other charges  thereafter
     accruing, or Tenant's liability for damages under any provisions
     hereof, unless Landlord elects to terminate this Lease by written
     notice to that effect given to Tenant.  Tenant covenants that the
     service  by Landlord of any notice pursuant to the  unlawful
     detainer statutes of the State in which the Premises is located
     and the surrender of possession pursuant to such notice shall not
     be deemed to be a termination of this Lease, unless Landlord
     elects to the contrary by written notice to that effect given to
     Tenant at the time of or after the service of any such statutory
     notice.  If Landlord reenters or takes possession of the Premises
     as  aforesaid, Landlord shall have the right, subject to the
     provisions of this Lease, including without limitation,  the
     provisions of Section 16.2, to remove therefrom all or any part
     of the personal property located therein and may dispose of or
     place the same in storage at a public warehouse at the expense
     and risk of Tenant; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be
     obligated to remove and/or dispose of any such personal property.

(c)  If Landlord elects to reenter the Premises under clause
(a)(ii) above and takes possession of the Premises, Landlord may,
but except to the extent required by applicable law or court
order, shall not be obligated to, relet the Premises for a term,
rate and upon such other provisions as Landlord deems
appropriate.  If Landlord so reenters and takes possession of the
Premises, Landlord may decorate, repair and alter the Premises to
the extent Landlord deems appropriate for purposes of such
reletting.  If Landlord is unable to so relet the Premises, then
Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly on the first day of each
month during the period that Tenant's right to possession is
terminated, a sum equal to the Rent due under this Lease for that
month.  If the Premises are relet, Landlord shall apply the rents
therefrom first to payment of Landlord's expenses incurred by
reason of Tenant's default, second, to payment of Landlord's
expenses of reletting, including without limitation, brokerage
fees and reasonable attorneys' fees, and third, to payment of
Rent due from Tenant under this Lease.  All sums expended and
concessions granted to any new tenant shall be amortized on a
straight -line basis over the term of the new lease and Tenant's
liability therefor shall be limited to that portion attributable
to the unexpired term of this Lease.  If the sums received from
such reletting are insufficient to satisfy the payment of Rent
due from Tenant under this Lease for any month, Tenant shall
remain liable for the deficiency.  If the sums received from such
reletting exceed the Rent otherwise due from Tenant for any
month, Tenant shall have no rights thereto except that such
excess amounts shall be applied against Rent subsequently due
under this Lease.  No such reletting by Landlord shall be
considered to be (A) for Landlord's own account unless and until
Landlord notifies Tenant that this Lease has been terminated, and
(B) an acceptance of Tenant's surrender of the Premises unless
and until Landlord so notifies Tenant.
(d)  In the event of any termination of this Lease or
repossession of any of the Premises after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Base Rent,
Additional Rent and all other sums required to be paid by Tenant
to and including the date of such termination or repossession
and, thereafter, Tenant shall, until the end of what would have
been the Term in the absence of such termination or repossession,
and whether or not any of the Premises shall have been relet, be
liable to Landlord for and shall pay to Landlord as liquidated
and agreed current damages:  (i) Base Rent, Additional Rent and
all other sums which would be payable under this Lease by Tenant
in the absence of such termination or repossession, less (ii) the
net proceeds, if any, of any reletting pursuant to
Section 15.2(c), after deducting from such proceeds all of
Landlord's reasonable expenses in connection with such reletting
(including without limitation, all reasonable repossession costs,
brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys' fees, costs of
Alteration and expenses of preparation for reletting).  Tenant
hereby agrees to be and remain liable for all sums aforesaid and
Landlord may recover such damages from Tenant and institute and
maintain successive actions or legal proceedings against Tenant
for the recovery of such damages.  Nothing herein contained shall
be deemed to require Landlord to wait to begin such action or
other legal proceedings until the date when the Term would have
expired had there been no such Event of Default.
(e)  At any time after such termination of this Lease pursuant to
Section 15.2(a)(i) or pursuant to law, whether or not Landlord
shall have recovered any amounts under Section 15.2(c) or
15.2(d), Landlord, at its option, shall be entitled to recover
from Tenant and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, as and
for liquidated and agreed final damages for Tenant's default,
(i) the amount by which the Base Rent and all Additional Rent
reserved hereunder for the unexpired portion of the Term demised
herein as if the Lease had not expired or been terminated exceeds
the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises for the
same period, discounted to present worth at the prime rate (as
defined in Section 24.6), minus any such monthly deficiencies
previously recovered from Tenant for such unexpired portion of
the Term demised herein under Section 15.2(c), plus (ii) all
reasonable legal fees and other costs and expenses incurred by
Landlord as a result of Tenant's default under this Lease and the
exercise of any rights and remedies hereunder.
(f)  If any statute or rule of law governing a proceeding in
which such liquidated final damages provided for in
Section 15.2(e) are to be proved shall validly limit the amount
thereof to an amount less than the amount above agreed upon,
Landlord shall be entitled to the maximum amount allowable under
such statute or rule of law.
(g)  Mention in this Lease of any particular remedy shall not
preclude Landlord from any other remedy at law or in equity.  No
right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Landlord in this
Lease is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy;
and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in
addition to any other right or remedy contained in this Lease.
No delay or failure by Landlord or Tenant to enforce its rights
under this Lease shall be construed as a waiver, modification or
relinquishment thereof.  Tenant waives any rights of redemption
granted by any laws if Tenant is evicted or dispossessed, or if
Landlord obtains possession of the Premises by reason of the
violation by Tenant of any of the terms of this Lease.

     15.3.     Franchisor Rights.

          (a)  Landlord agrees to send a copy of any notice of default
     required or permitted to be given to Tenant under this Lease
     simultaneously to Franchisor at the last address for Franchisor
     furnished to Landlord by Franchisor in writing; provided, that
     the failure to send such notice shall not limit Tenant's default
     or Landlord's remedies with respect thereto, or make Landlord
     liable for any damages. If Franchisor has received timely notice
     of such default, (provided, that the failure to send such notice
     shall not limit Tenant's default or Landlord's remedies with
     respect thereto or impose any liability upon Landlord therefor),
     Landlord agrees and consents to the curing of any default of
     Tenant hereunder by Franchisor, provided that such cure is made
     by  Franchisor within the time set forth in Section 15.1 for
     Tenant's cure (provided, that Franchisor shall have an additional
     fifteen (15) days to cure a default under Sections 15.1(i) and
     (ii), so long as Franchisor notifies Landlord within the cure
     periods set forth in such Sections that Franchisor will cure such
     defaults).  If Franchisor elects to cure any Tenant  default
     hereunder,  Franchisor shall give notice to that  effect  to
     Landlord and Tenant simultaneously with such cure.

(b)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, if
an Event of Default has occurred (including the expiration of any
applicable cure period), Landlord agrees to give notice thereof
to Franchisor ("Termination Notice") and Landlord will not
terminate the Lease (as permitted hereunder) on account of such
Event of Default for a period of thirty (30) days, during which
time Franchisor shall have the right to lease the Premises upon
the same terms and conditions as this Lease, such election to be
made by notice to that effect ("Franchisor Notice") from
Franchisor to Landlord prior to the end of said 30-day period.
If Franchisor exercises such right by giving the Franchisor
Notice to Landlord by the time and in the manner set forth in the
immediately preceding sentence, then (i) Franchisor and Landlord
shall promptly execute and deliver a written instrument to that
effect; (ii) Franchisor shall become the tenant under this Lease
with all of the rights and obligations of tenant commencing upon,
first accruing and effective only from and after the date of the
Franchisor Notice; provided, that Tenant shall not dispute such
action by Franchisor and shall acknowledge its approval of such
action by Franchisor; (iii) Franchisor shall have no liability,
responsibility or obligation to pay or otherwise cure any default
of Tenant existing prior the effective date of exercise by
Franchisor of its rights in this subsection; provided, that if
Franchisor has received notice from Landlord of any Event of
Default of Tenant under Sections 15.1(i) or (ii), Franchisor
shall pay any Rent due and payable by Tenant accruing after the
date Franchisor receives notice of any such Event of Default; and
(iv) nothing contained herein shall restrict, limit, terminate,
waive or otherwise affect Landlord's rights against Tenant or any
guarantor on account of Tenant's default.  If Franchisor fails to
exercise such right on or before the expiration of said thirty
(30) day period, Landlord may pursue any rights and remedies that
it may have against Tenant on account of Tenant's Event of
Default hereunder.  Nothing contained in this Section shall be
deemed to obligate Franchisor to assume this Lease, to become the
tenant hereunder or to take possession of the Premises.
(c)  In the event that Franchisor becomes the tenant under this
Lease pursuant to the provisions of subsection (b) or an
assignment under Section 13.2 above, Franchisor shall have the
right at any time thereafter upon prior notice to, but without
the prior consent of Landlord, to assign this Lease and all of
its right, title and interest as Tenant hereunder to an
authorized franchisee of Franchisor.  In the event of such an
assignment, Franchisor shall be released from all liabilities and
obligations of Tenant first accruing from and after the effective
date of said assignment provided that such assignee franchisee
assumes in writing the obligations of Tenant under this Lease and
a copy thereof is furnished to Landlord.

                   16.  SURRENDER OF PREMISES

     16.1.     Condition.  Upon the expiration or earlier termination
of  this Lease or the termination of Tenant's right of possession
of  the  Premises  only, Tenant shall surrender the  Premises  to
Landlord in a clean, safe, good and tenantable condition, free of
debris  and  with all "grease traps" and similar devices  cleaned
and  in  good working condition, ordinary wear and tear  and,  if
this  Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 11.4(b), damage  by
Casualty  excepted.  All building apparatus and equipment  (other
than  Tenant's  Property) then located on the  Premises  and  all
Alterations  and other improvements to the Premises  made  during
the  Term,  whether  by Tenant or others,  shall  remain  on  the
Premises  and  shall be considered part of the Premises.   Tenant
shall  deliver  all keys therefor to Landlord at the  place  then
fixed  for  the payment of Rent and shall make known to  Landlord
the  combination for all locks on safes, cabinets and  vaults  in
the Premises.

16.2.     Removal of Tenant's Property.  Upon the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease or the termination of Tenant's
right of possession of the Premises only, Tenant shall have the
right, at its sole cost and expense, for a period of fifteen (15)
days thereafter to remove Tenant's Property, Distinctive Property
and the Financed Personalty, respectively, from the Premises,
provided that Tenant shall pay to Landlord Rent due under Article
3 hereof for the actual number of days which elapse during such
fifteen (15) day period until the Tenant's Property, Distinctive
Property and the Financed Personalty, as applicable, are removed
from the Premises.  If and to the extent that Tenant fails to
remove any of such property by the expiration of said fifteen
(15) day period, Landlord agrees that Tenant Lender, TE Lender
and Franchisor each shall have the right for a period of forty
(45) days thereafter to remove the same from the Premises,
provided, that Tenant shall pay to Landlord Rent due hereunder
for the actual number of days which elapse until Tenant Lender,
TE Lender or Franchisor remove the same from the Premises during
such forty five (45) day period.  If and to the extent that any
such property remains on the Premises on the sixtieth (60th) day
after such termination, the same shall be deemed abandoned, and
at Landlord's option shall become the property of Landlord and
may be sold or disposed of as Landlord may determine; provided,
however, that Landlord shall not use, suffer or permit the use of
any Distinctive Property unless the attributes or features
thereof associated with Tenant or Franchisor are removed or
obliterated.  Any and all damage to the Building caused by or
resulting from the removal of Tenant's Property, Distinctive
Property or Financed Personalty shall promptly be repaired at no
cost or expense to Landlord and Tenant shall be liable for such
cost and expense unless such repairs are made by Tenant,
Franchisor or TE Lender, as the case may be.
                17.  SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT

     17.1.     Subordination.  This Lease and the rights of Tenant
hereunder  are expressly subject and subordinate to the  lien  of
any  mortgage or deed of trust constituting a lien on  Landlord's
fee  interest  in  the  Premises ("Landlord  Mortgage")  and  any
renewals,    extensions,   modifications,   consolidations    and
replacements thereof, which now or hereafter affect  all  or  any
portion  of  the  Premises (except to the extent  that  any  such
instrument expressly provides that this Lease is superior to it);
provided  that  the  holder of the Landlord  Mortgage  ("Landlord
Lender") agrees in writing not to disturb Tenant, Tenant's  right
to  possession and use of the Premises and Tenant's rights  under
this  Lease  so  long as there shall be no Event  of  Default  on
behalf  of Tenant hereunder. Tenant agrees to execute and deliver
to  Landlord and any Landlord Lender at any time and from time to
time  all  such  documents reasonably requested  by  Landlord  or
Landlord's Lender, which are reasonably acceptable to Tenant  and
Tenant's   Lender,  to  confirm  or  effect  such   subordination
including, without limitation, an SNDA substantially in the  form
attached  as Exhibit E, together with such changes as Lender  may
reasonably require; provided that such Landlord Lender agrees  to
recognize  this Lease and the rights of Tenant set  forth  herein
for  so  long as there shall be no Event of Default on behalf  of
Tenant hereunder.  Notwithstanding any foreclosure or sale  under
any Landlord Mortgage (or transfer by deed in lieu thereof), this
Lease  shall  remain in full force and effect in accordance  with
its terms.  Landlord and any Landlord Lender shall execute within
ten (10) days after request any documentation reasonably required
by   any  TE  Lender  or  Tenant  Lender,  which  are  reasonably
acceptable  to Landlord and any Landlord Lender, to  confirm  the
priority   of  such  lender's  interests.   Notwithstanding   the
provisions  of  this  Section 17.1, the holder  of  any  Landlord
Mortgage  to  which  this Lease is subject and subordinate  shall
have  the  right, at its sole option, at any time, to subordinate
and  subject the Landlord Mortgage, in whole or in part, to  this
Lease  by  recording  a unilateral declaration  to  such  effect.
Tenant hereby agrees that any Landlord Lender shall not be  bound
to  the  terms of any material modification or amendment of  this
Lease  entered  into  after the date of such  Landlord  Mortgage,
unless  such  Landlord  Lender has  consented  to  such  material
modification or amendment.  Tenant hereby agrees that  after  the
date  of such Landlord Mortgage, Tenant shall not pay to Landlord
any  installment of Base Rent more than one (1) month in  advance
of  the due date thereof, unless Landlord Lender shall consent to
such prepayment.

     17.2.     Attornment.  In the event of the foreclosure of any
Landlord  Mortgage  by voluntary agreement or otherwise,  or  the
commencement  of  any judicial action seeking  such  foreclosure,
Tenant will become the tenant of and attorn to and recognize such
Landlord  Lender or purchaser in foreclosure as Tenant's landlord
under  this Lease without change in the provisions of this Lease.
Upon  request by such successor in interest, Tenant will  execute
and  deliver an instrument confirming such attornment, which will
recognize  this Lease and the rights of Tenant set  forth  herein
and  shall  provide  that such successor  in  interest  will  not
disturb Tenant in its use of the Premises in accordance with this
Lease  unless  there is an Event of Default continuing  hereunder
and such successor in interest would be entitled to exercise such
remedy under Section 15.2 hereof.

                   18.  ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

   18.1.  Estoppel Certificates.  Within fifteen (15) days after
written request from Landlord or Tenant to the other, such  other
party shall execute and deliver an estoppel certificate signed by
an  officer  of such party and certifying: the Commencement  Date
and  expiration date of the Term; the date to which Rent has been
paid;  the amount of Rent then being paid; that this Lease is  in
full  force  and  effect and has not been  modified,  amended  or
assigned   (or,   if  modified,  stating  the  nature   of   such
modification  and certifying that this Lease, as so modified,  is
in  full force and effect); that to such party's knowledge  there
are  no defaults by the other party under this Lease, nor to such
party's knowledge any existing condition upon which the giving of
notice  or lapse of time or both would constitute a default  (or,
if  such exist, stating the nature thereof); that such party  has
received  no notice from any insurance company of any defects  or
inadequacies of the Premises; that such party has no  options  or
rights  other  than as set forth in this Lease;  and  such  other
factual  matters as the requesting party may reasonably  request.
Failure  to deliver such statement within said fifteen  (15)  day
period shall be conclusive upon the party to whom the request was
directed  that  this Lease is in full force and  effect,  without
modification except as may be represented by the requesting party
in  the  draft estoppel presented, that to such party's knowledge
there   are  no  uncured  defaults  in  the  requesting   party's
performance, and that all other statements required to be made in
the estoppel letter are conclusively made.

                          19.  NOTICES

  19.1.  Notices.  All notices required or permitted to be given
under this Lease shall be in writing and shall be deemed given on
the  date  when  personally delivered or, if  earlier,  the  next
business day if sent by recognized overnight air courier, or  two
(2)  business days (or, if earlier, when actually received) after
being  deposited  in  the  United States Mail,  postage  prepaid,
properly addressed, certified mail, return receipt requested,  as

thereof pursuant to this Lease ("Addressee") at any time and from
time to time may change its address for notice purposes by giving

specified above at least fifteen (15) days before such change  of
address is to become effective.

                    20.  LEASEHOLD FINANCING

     20.1.     Leasehold Financing.  Tenant shall have the right at
any  time  and from time to time during the Term with notice  to,
but  without  the  consent or approval of Landlord,  to  grant  a
mortgage  or  other security interest ("Leasehold  Mortgage")  in
Tenant's  interest  in this Lease (the leasehold  estate  created
hereby),  and  all of Tenant's Property, all upon  the  condition
that  all rights acquired under any such Leasehold Mortgage shall
be  subject  to each and all of the covenants, conditions,  terms
and  restrictions  set  forth  in  this  Lease.  Tenant  Lender's
foreclosure  on  the Leasehold Mortgage shall not terminate  this
Lease  or  affect  any  of the covenants, conditions,  terms  and
restrictions set forth in this Lease as obligations of Tenant.

20.2.     Tenant Lender.  If Landlord is provided written notice
of a Leasehold Mortgage and the name and address for notice of
the holder of a Leasehold Mortgage (the "Tenant Lender"), then
the rights of such Tenant Lender shall include the following,
which shall be binding on Landlord (and any Landlord Lender).
Upon recordation of the Leasehold Mortgage and for so long
thereafter as the Leasehold Mortgage remains unsatisfied:
(i) Landlord agrees to deliver a copy of any notice of default
given to Tenant under this Lease simultaneously to Tenant Lender
at its last address furnished to Landlord in writing; provided,
that the failure to send such notice shall not limit Tenant's
default or Landlord's remedies against Tenant with respect
thereto (other than such remedies as would prevent the exercise
of Tenant Lender's rights under this Section 20.2), or impose any
liability upon Landlord for any damages therefrom; (ii) Landlord
agrees that Tenant Lender shall have the right, but shall not be
obligated, to cure any default of Tenant hereunder, provided that
such cure is made by Tenant Lender within the time provided to
Tenant pursuant to Section 15.1 (provided, that such Tenant
Lender shall have an additional fifteen (15) days to cure a
default under Sections 15.1(i) and 15.1(ii), so long as Tenant
Lender notifies Landlord within the cure periods set forth in
such Sections that it will cure such defaults); (iii) if Tenant
Lender elects to cure any default of Tenant hereunder, (A) Tenant
Lender shall give notice to that effect to Landlord and Tenant
simultaneously with such cure, and (B) Landlord consents to and
shall accept such cure with the same force and effect as if made
by Tenant; (iv) Landlord and Tenant each agree not to cancel or
surrender this Lease (other than due to a default by a party
which was not cured within the applicable cure period after
notice was given to Tenant and Tenant Lender) or amend the
provisions of this Lease without the prior written consent of
Tenant Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed; and (v) if Landlord terminates the Lease due to an
Event of Default which Tenant Lender is unable to cure (e.g.,
Tenant bankruptcy), and Tenant Lender elects by written notice to
Landlord within forty-five (45) days thereafter to continue this
Lease, Landlord agrees to enter into a new lease with Tenant
Lender on the same terms and conditions as set forth in this
Lease for the balance of the original Term, including any
remaining extension options, provided, that the Tenant Lender
shall pay to Landlord at the time of the execution and delivery
of the new lease all sums which would at the time of the
execution and delivery of the new lease be due pursuant to this
Lease but for such termination, and shall agree in writing to
cure and shall cure all other defaults of Tenant capable of being
cured by Tenant Lender then existing under this Lease within a
reasonable period of time after entering into such new Lease.
Landlord agrees promptly to execute and deliver such documents as
Tenant Lender reasonably may request which are reasonably
acceptable to Landlord and any Landlord Lender to evidence the
provisions of this Section 20.2, including the Landlord Agreement
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

                   21.  RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

     21.1.     Right of First Refusal to Purchase.

          (a)   If at any time after the first anniversary of the
     Commencement Date Landlord shall receive a bona fide written
     offer to purchase the Premises from a third party which is not
     affiliated with Landlord, which offer Landlord is willing to
     accept ("Outside Contract"), Landlord shall give written notice
     ("Sale Notice") thereof, together with a copy of such Outside
     Contract, to Tenant.  Tenant shall have a right of first refusal
     ("Refusal Right") to purchase the Premises that is the subject of
     the Outside Contract in accordance with the terms and provisions
     thereof.  If Tenant desires to exercise the Refusal Right, Tenant
     shall deliver written notice to that effect to Landlord within
     twenty  (20) days after receipt of the Sale Notice ("Refusal
     Period").  If Tenant exercises the Refusal Right by the time and
     in the manner set forth in this subsection, Landlord and Tenant
     shall  promptly execute a contract which includes  the  same
     material terms and conditions as the Outside Contract ("Sale
     Contract") and Tenant shall deposit when due any earnest money
     deposit required thereunder.  If Tenant does not execute a Sale
     Contract within fifteen (15) days after Tenant's receipt of such
     Sale Contract from Landlord, signed on behalf of Landlord, or if
     Tenant defaults in its obligations under such Sale Contract, then
     Landlord shall be free to consummate the sale pursuant to the
     Outside Contract (or another contract on substantially similar
     terms and conditions).

(b)  If Tenant does not exercise the Refusal Right by the time
and in the manner set forth in subsection (a) above, then (i) the
Refusal Right shall remain in full force and effect, but not with
respect to the proposed sale pursuant to the Outside Contract,
and (ii) Landlord shall be free to consummate the sale pursuant
to the Outside Contract.  If within one hundred eighty (180) days
after the expiration of the Refusal Period Landlord does not
consummate the sale pursuant to the Outside Contract, the Refusal
Right shall again be applicable, and Landlord shall not
thereafter sell the Premises pursuant to the Outside Contract
without first offering Tenant the Refusal Right pursuant to this
Section 21.1.
(c)  The rights granted to Tenant under this Section 21 shall not
survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
(d)  The provisions of this Section 21 shall not apply and Tenant
shall not have any Refusal Right (i) with respect to the sale,
conveyance, assignment or other transfer (A) to any person
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Landlord
or any of its direct or indirect owners, (B) by gift, descent or
devise, or (C) to any sale (or conveyance in lieu thereof) by
foreclosure or enforcement of a lien or security interest, or
(ii) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.  Any conveyance of the Premises to Tenant pursuant to
this Section 21 shall be "as-is" with respect to the physical
condition of the Premises.

                  22.  [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

23.  GUARANTY

     23.1.     Simultaneously with the execution of this Lease, Tenant
shall  cause to be delivered to Landlord a guaranty in  the  form
attached hereto as Exhibit D (the "Guaranty"), pursuant to  which
AAG shall guaranty Tenant's obligations hereunder.

                       24.  MISCELLANEOUS

     24.1.     Landlord's Interests.

      (a)  The term "Landlord" as used herein shall mean only the owner
     or  owners, at the time in question, of the fee title to the
     Premises.  In the event of an assignment or transfer of this
     Lease by Landlord for other than security purposes, Landlord
     shall cause its assignee or transferee to assume the provisions
     of  this  Lease  and Landlord shall deliver notice  of  such
     assignment or transfer and a copy of the effective instrument of
     transfer to Tenant.  Tenant shall be entitled to continue to pay
     rent and give all notices to Landlord until Tenant has received
     the  foregoing from Landlord.  From and after a sale of  the
     Premises, Landlord shall be released from all liability toward
     Tenant arising from this Lease because of any act, occurrence or
     omission of Landlord's successors occurring after the transfer of
     Landlord's interest in this Lease, provided Landlord's purchaser
     or assignee expressly assumes Landlord's duties and covenants
     under this Lease.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve
     Landlord of any liability for its acts, omissions or obligations
     occurring or accruing up to and including the date  of  such
     transfer.

(b)  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
any claim based on or in respect of any liability of Landlord
under this Lease shall be enforced only against Landlord's
interest in the Premises and shall not be enforced against
Landlord individually or personally.
(c)  Landlord shall have the right to sell, assign or transfer
its interest in the Premises without any prior notice to or
consent of Tenant, subject to compliance with the provisions of
Section 21 of this Lease, if applicable.

     24.2.     Severability.  If any provision of this Lease or the
application  thereof  to  any person  or  circumstance  shall  be
invalid  or unenforceable under applicable law, such event  shall
not  affect,  impair  or  render  invalid  or  unenforceable  the
remainder  or  any other provision of this Lease,  nor  shall  it
affect  the application of any provision of this Lease  to  other
persons or circumstances.

24.3.     Entire Agreement.  This Lease and the Exhibits attached
hereto set forth the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant
concerning the Premises and there is no other agreement, oral or
written, between them other than this Lease.  This Lease
supersedes and revokes all previous negotiations, arrangements,
letters of intent, offers to lease, lease proposals and
information conveyed, whether orally or in writing, between the
parties or their respective representatives.

24.4.     Time.  Time is of the essence of this Lease and the
performance of all obligations under this Lease.

24.5.     Binding Effect.  This Lease shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of Landlord, Tenant and their respective
successors and assigns.

24.6.     Default Rate.  All amounts owing to one party from the
other party under this Lease for which a date of payment is not
expressly fixed shall be paid within ten (10) days after the date
the party to whom such amount is payable delivers to the other
party appropriate statements of account.  As used in this Lease,
the words "Default Rate" shall mean interest at the rate of four
percent (4%) per annum in excess of the "prime rate" from time to
time announced in The Wall Street Journal or if such publication
ceases to publish a prime rate then as announced by a comparable
publication.  The Default Rate of interest shall be computed from
the date on which any payment is due from either party to the
other through and including the date paid.

24.7.     Force Majeure.  Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be
considered in default of any of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease on its part to be performed, if it fails
to timely perform same and such failure is due in whole or in
part to any strike, lockout, labor trouble (whether legal or
illegal), civil disorder, restrictive governmental laws and
regulations, riots, insurrections, war, accidents, casualties,
acts of God, acts caused directly or indirectly by the other
party hereto (or such party's agent, employees or invitees) or
any other cause beyond its control.  A party shall be entitled to
an extension of time equal to one (1) day for each day of delay
due to force majeure.  The foregoing shall not apply to, excuse
or be invoked to justify any delay in the payment of Rent or any
other sum of money due from one party payable to the other party.

24.8.     No Waiver.  No provision of this Lease shall be deemed
to have been waived by either party unless such waiver is in
writing signed by such party.

24.9.     Captions.  The captions and headings in this Lease are
inserted only as a matter of convenience and do not define,
limit, expand or describe the scope or intent of such provisions.

24.10.    Survival.  The following obligations of Landlord and
Tenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease:  (a) any obligation permitted in this Lease to be
performed after the end of the Term; (b) any obligation not
reasonably susceptible of performance prior to the end of the
Term; and (c) any other obligation expressly stated to survive
termination.

24.11.    Applicable Law.  This Lease and the rights and
obligations of Landlord and Tenant hereunder shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws and judicial decisions
in effect in the State in which the Premises are located.

24.12.    Amendment.  No amendment to the provisions of this
Lease shall be effective or enforceable unless made in writing
and signed by Landlord and Tenant.

24.13.    Approvals; Consents.  Every approval and consent
provided for in this Lease shall be made in writing.

24.14.    Rights and Remedies.  All rights and remedies granted
or referred to in this Lease shall be distinct, separate and
cumulative and none shall exclude any other right or remedy of
either party set forth in this Lease or available at law or in
equity.

24.15.    Holdover.  If Tenant retains possession of the Premises
after the expiration of the Term without the express written
consent of Landlord, the monthly Base Rent payable by Tenant for
each month of the period of such holding over shall be an amount
equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the monthly
Base Rent in effect immediately preceding such holdover period;
provided, however, that no payment of such increased monthly Rent
by Tenant shall be deemed to extend or renew the Term.  In the
event that Landlord gives written consent to Tenant to remain in
occupancy beyond the expiration of the Term, such occupancy shall
be construed to be a renewal of this Lease for a month-to-month
tenancy upon all of the terms and conditions set forth in this
Lease, except that, unless otherwise provided in Landlord's
consent, monthly Base Rent payable by Tenant for any such period
of holdover tenancy shall be at the rate equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the monthly Base Rent in effect immediately
preceding such holdover period.

24.16.    Memorandum.  Landlord and Tenant agree to complete,
execute, deliver and record in the county in which the Premises
are located a short form memorandum of this Lease substantially
in the form and substance attached hereto as Exhibit C
("Memorandum").  Tenant shall pay all fees, taxes, costs and
expenses to record the Memorandum.

24.17.    No Third-Party Rights.  The terms and provisions of
this Lease shall not be deemed to confer any rights upon, nor
obligate Landlord or Tenant to, any person or entity other than
the parties hereto, except for any Landlord Lender, Tenant
Lender, TE Lender and Franchisor if and to the extent
specifically provided herein.

24.18.    Landlord and Franchisor Access.  Upon not less than
twenty-four (24) hours' prior notice (except in the case of an
emergency), Landlord may enter upon the Premises during Tenant's
non-peak business hours for purposes of inspection and showing
the Premises to prospective purchasers or lenders.  When entering
the Premises, Landlord, its agents, employees and/or contractors
(a) shall identify themselves to Tenant's personnel immediately
upon entering the Premises, and (b) shall not, in any way,
materially or unreasonably affect, interrupt or interfere with
Tenant's use, business or operations on the Premises or obstruct
the visibility of or access to the Premises.  Landlord and Tenant
(i) acknowledge that Franchisor, its personnel and agents have
the right to enter upon the Premises for certain purposes under
the Franchise Agreement, and (ii) agree not to interfere with or
prevent such entry by Franchisor, its personnel and agents.

     24.19.    Due Authority.

          (a)  Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant as follows:
     (i) that Landlord is a corporation created, validly existing and
     in good standing under Minnesota law; (ii) that Landlord has full
     right, power and authority to enter into and to perform  its
     obligations under this Lease and that no consent or approval of
     any third parties is necessary in order to do so or that all such
     consents and approvals have been obtained; and (iii) that this
     Lease, when signed by Landlord, is a legal, valid and binding
     obligation of Landlord enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(b)  Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord as follows:
(i) that Tenant is a limited liability company created, validly
existing and in good standing under Delaware law; (ii) that
Tenant has full right, power and authority to enter into and to
perform its obligations under this Lease and that, except as
otherwise specifically provided herein, no consent or approval of
any third parties is necessary in order to do so; and (iii) that
this Lease, when signed by Tenant, is a legal, valid and binding
obligation of Tenant enforceable in accordance with its terms.

     24.20.    Relationship of Parties.  Nothing contained in this
Lease  shall  be  deemed  to constitute a  partnership  or  joint
venture  between  Landlord  and  Tenant.   The  relationship   of
Landlord  and Tenant shall only be deemed to be one  of  landlord
and tenant.

24.21.    Preparation and Signing of Lease.  This Lease has been
negotiated and reviewed by Landlord, Tenant and their respective
attorneys and/or professional advisors, all of whom intend and
believe this Lease to be the product of all of their joint
efforts, that it contains the entire agreement between Landlord
and Tenant and as such should not and shall not be interpreted or
construed in favor of or against either Landlord or Tenant merely
because of the efforts of one party or the other in preparing
this Lease.  The submission of this Lease for review or execution
does not constitute a reservation of or option for the rights
conferred herein.  This Lease shall become effective only if and
when executed and delivered by both Landlord and Tenant.

24.22.    Broker.  Landlord and Tenant each warrant and represent
to the other that it has not dealt with any real estate broker,
salesperson or finder in connection with this Lease.  Landlord
and Tenant each agree to indemnify, defend and hold the other
party harmless from and against any and all liabilities and
claims for commissions and fees arising out of a breach of its
representation and warranty set forth herein.

24.23.    Separability.  Each and every covenant and agreement of
Tenant contained in this Lease is, and shall be construed to be,
a separate and independent covenant and agreement, and the breach
of any covenant or agreement by Landlord shall not discharge or
relieve Tenant from its obligation to perform the same.

24.24.    Multiple Counterparts.  To facilitate execution, this
Lease may be executed in as many counterparts as may be
convenient or required.  It shall not be necessary that the
signature or acknowledgment of, or on behalf of, each party, or
that the signature of all persons required to bind any party, or
the acknowledgment of such party, appear on each counterpart.
All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single
instrument.  It shall not be necessary in making proof of this
Lease to produce or account for more than a single counterpart
containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, and the
respective acknowledgments of, each of the parties hereto.  Any
signature or acknowledgment page to any counterpart may be
detached from such counterpart without impairing the legal effect
of the signatures or acknowledgments thereon and thereafter
attached to another counterpart identical thereto except having
attached to it additional signature or acknowledgment pages.

24.25.    Business Days.  All references to "business days"
contained herein are references to normal working business days,
i.e., Monday through Friday of each calendar week, exclusive of
federal and national bank holidays.  In the event that any event
hereunder is to occur, or a time period is to expire, on a date
which is not a business day, such event shall occur or such time
period shall expire on the next succeeding business day.

24.26.    Interpretation.  When the context in which words are
used in this Lease indicates that such is the intent, words in
the singular number shall include the plural and vice versa, and
words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine and
neuter genders and vice versa.  Further, references to "person"
or "persons" in this Lease shall mean and include any natural
person and any corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited
liability company, trust or other entity whatsoever.  As used
herein, the term "including" shall mean "including, but not
limited to".

24.27.    No Merger of Title.  There shall be no merger of this
Lease nor of the leasehold estate created by this Lease with the
fee estate in or ownership of any of the Premises by reason of
the fact that the same person, corporation, firm or other entity
may acquire or hold or own, directly or indirectly, (a) this
Lease or the leasehold estate created by this Lease or any
interest in this Lease or in such leasehold estate and (b) the
fee estate or ownership of any of the Premises or any interest in
such fee estate or ownership.  No such merger shall occur unless
and until all persons, corporations, firms and other entities
having any interest in (i) this Lease or the leasehold estate
created by this Lease and (ii) the fee estate in or ownership of
the Premises or any part thereof sought to be merged shall join
in a written instrument effecting such merger and shall duly
record the same.

24.28.    Financial Reporting.  During the Term of this Lease,
Tenant will deliver or cause to be delivered to Landlord the
following financial information at the following times, all of
which shall be reasonably true and correct:

          (a)  During any twelve (12) month period and at Landlord's
     request but in no event more that two (2) times per year, unless
     such  request  is required in order for Landlord  to  obtain
     financing and in such event, when reasonably necessary, within
     thirty (30) days of said request, the most recent quarterly and
     year-to-date consolidated balance sheets and income and cash flow
     statements for the Tenant and for AAG and the accompanying unit
     level profit and loss statements for each Premises for  that
     period; and

(b)  Within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of
each fiscal year of Tenant and AAG, annual consolidated balance
sheets and income and cash flow statements for the Tenant and for
AAG for the immediately preceding fiscal year, all in reasonable
detail and prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, consistently applied, including unit level
profit and loss statements for that period for the Premises.

          The  annual  financial  statements  which  are  to   be
     delivered  as  provided above shall have been  prepared  and
     certified  by  an  independent certified public  accountant.
     All  other financial statements to be delivered pursuant  to
     this  Section  24.28 shall be un-audited  and  certified  to
     Landlord  to be reasonably true and correct by the  Tenant's
     controller  or  other  officer.   Landlord  shall  have  the
     right,   upon  reasonable  advance  notice,  to  meet   with
     appropriate  officers  of Tenant and AAG  to  discuss  their
     respective   affairs   and  finances   and   the   financial
     information delivered pursuant hereto.

  24.29.  Multiple Persons or Entities.  In the event that either
party  shall consist of more than one person or entity,  (i)  the
obligations of such multiple persons or entities shall  be  joint
and  several,  and  (ii)  the first  notice  with  respect  to  a
particular matter received by the other party from any one of the
multiple persons or entities shall be final and binding  on  both
parties,  unless  the  party with multiple  persons  or  entities
previously has designated one among them as the representative of
all,  in which event only a notice from such representative shall
be final and binding on both parties.

                  2.   LEASING AGREEMENT; TERM

     2.1. Leasing Agreement.  Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant
leases from Landlord upon and subject to the terms and conditions
set  forth  in  this  Lease  certain real  estate  consisting  of
approximately 1.3 acres of land, as legally described in attached
Exhibit  A, together with all easements, rights and appurtenances
thereto, including, but not limited to all of Landlord's  rights,
if  any,  to  use  any common areas, parking, access  drives  and
sidewalks  in any center of which the real estate may be  a  part
(the  "Land").  The Land is commonly known as 7345 E.  Washington
Street,  Indianapolis,  ("City"), Marion  County,  Indiana.   The
Land, together with the restaurant and other related improvements
now  or  hereafter thereon ("Improvements"), are referred  to  in
this Lease as the "Premises."  The Premises are leased subject to
all  restrictions, covenants, encumbrances and other  matters  of
record on the date of this Lease.

2.2. Term.  The term of this Lease ("Term") shall commence
("Commencement Date") on the Effective Date and, unless extended
or earlier terminated as provided herein, shall expire
("Expiration Date") at midnight on the last day of the twentieth
(20th) "Lease Year" thereafter.  "Lease Year" shall mean and
refer to that period of twelve (12) full consecutive calendar
months beginning with the first full calendar month of the Term
and each subsequent period of twelve (12) consecutive calendar
months during the Term, provided that if the Term commences on
other than the first day of a calendar month, then the initial
fractional month of the Term plus the next succeeding twelve (12)
full calendar months shall constitute the first Lease Year of the
Term and provided, further, that if this Lease is terminated
prior to the Expiration Date, the last Lease Year may contain
less than twelve (12) full calendar months.
2.3. Extension of the Term.  Provided that this Lease is in full
force and effect and no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Tenant shall have the option to extend the Term for
up to four (4) successive periods of five (5) Lease Years each
upon all of the provisions of this Lease, which extension options
shall automatically be deemed exercised two hundred seventy (270)
days prior to the then current Expiration Date without the
requirement for any further notice; provided, however, that
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease (and void any
such automatic extension and all remaining extension options)
effective as of any then current Expiration Date by giving
written notice thereof to Landlord not less than two hundred
seventy (270) days before such then current Expiration Date; and
provided, further, that this Lease shall not be automatically
extended (and Tenant shall be deemed to have given written notice
of non-renewal) if on the date which is two hundred seventy (270)
days prior to the then current Expiration Date an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, and in such event this
Lease shall terminate on the then current Expiration Date.  If
and each time this Lease is so extended, the word "Term" shall be
deemed to include the five (5) year extension period with respect
to which the option has been exercised and the term "Expiration
Date" shall mean the last day of such five (5) year extension
period.
2.4. Premises Leased "AS-IS".  LANDLORD HEREBY LEASES AND WILL
LEASE AND TENANT TAKES AND WILL TAKE THE PREMISES "AS IS," AND
TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LANDLORD (WHETHER ACTING AS LANDLORD
HEREUNDER OR IN ANY OTHER CAPACITY) HAS NOT MADE AND WILL NOT
MAKE, NOR SHALL LANDLORD BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE, ANY WARRANTY OR
REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE
PREMISES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OR
REPRESENTATION AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR USE, PURPOSE, DESIGN OR
CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, AS TO THE QUALITY OF
THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, LATENT OR PATENT, OR AS TO
VALUE, COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFICATIONS, LOCATION, USE, CONDITION,
MERCHANTABILITY, QUALITY, DESCRIPTION, DURABILITY OR OPERATION ,
IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL RISKS INCIDENT THERETO ARE TO BE BORNE
BY TENANT.  TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PREMISES ARE OF ITS
SELECTION AND TO ITS SPECIFICATIONS, AND THAT THE PREMISES HAVE
BEEN INSPECTED BY TENANT AND ARE SATISFACTORY TO IT.  IN THE
EVENT OF ANY DEFECT OR DEFICIENCY IN ANY OF THE PREMISES OF ANY
NATURE, WHETHER PATENT OR LATENT, LANDLORD SHALL NOT HAVE ANY
RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY WITH RESPECT THERETO OR FOR ANY
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT).  THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
SECTION 2.4 HAVE BEEN NEGOTIATED, AND THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS
ARE INTENDED TO BE A COMPLETE EXCLUSION AND NEGATION OF ANY
WARRANTIES BY LANDLORD, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ANY
OF THE PREMISES, ARISING PURSUANT TO STATUTE, JUDICIAL DECISION,
THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE OR ANY OTHER LAW, RULE, REGULATION OR
ORDER NOW OR HEREAFTER IN EFFECT OR OTHERWISE.

     Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant has examined  the
title to the Premises prior to the execution and delivery of this
Lease  and  has  found  such title to  be  satisfactory  for  the
purposes contemplated by this Lease.

     2.5. True Lease.  Landlord and Tenant intend for this Lease to be
a   true  lease  and  not  a  transaction  creating  a  financing
arrangement.   Each  party  shall take all  reasonable  steps  to
reflect  the  transaction represented hereby  in  all  applicable
books, records and reports (including, without limitation, income
tax  filings) in a manner consistent with "true lease"  treatment
rather than "financing" treatment.

2.6. Non-Terminable.  Except as and to the extent expressly set
forth in Section 2.3 (with respect to non-renewal of this Lease)
and in Article 11 of this Lease, Tenant shall have no right to
terminate this Lease.  Tenant shall remain obligated under this
Lease in accordance with its terms and shall not take any action
to terminate, rescind or avoid this Lease, notwithstanding any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution
or other proceeding affecting Landlord or any action with respect
to this Lease which may be taken by any trustee, receiver or
liquidator or by any court.

                            3.   RENT

     3.1. Base Rent.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord as annual base rent
("Base  Rent") the amount set forth in column (b) below  for  the
corresponding Lease Years set forth in column (a) below:

(a) Lease Year   (b) Annual Base Rent (c)    Monthly   Base Rent

1-5                  $220,262.00           $18,355.17

16-20                $273,630.79           $22,802.57
21-25*               $294,153.10           $24,512.76
26-30**              $316,214.59           $26,351.22
31-35***             $339,930.68           $28,327.56
36-40****            $365,425.48           $30,452.12

[an  asterisk  (*) indicates an extension period; the  number  of
asterisks corresponds to the respective extension period.]

     Base  Rent shall be paid to Landlord in monthly installments
("Monthly  Base  Rent") in the respective amounts  set  forth  in
column  (c) above in advance on the first day of each  month  for
which  the  same  is due during the Term.  Rent for  any  partial
month shall be prorated on a per diem basis.

     3.2.  Payment.  All charges and costs payable by  Tenant  to
Landlord  or  any  other third party pursuant to  this  Lease  in
addition  to  Base  Rent shall be considered  "Additional  Rent".
Base   Rent  and  Additional  Rent  are  sometimes  referred   to
collectively   as  "Rent."   Except  as  otherwise   specifically
provided  in  this  Lease, all Rent shall be paid  by  Tenant  to
Landlord without notice, demand, offset, abatement, reduction  or
deduction  by check payable to Landlord and sent to  Landlord  at
the  address  indicated in Section 1.2 or to such  other  person,
entity  or  place as Landlord may from time to time designate  by
notice  to  Tenant.  If required by Landlord, Tenant  shall  make
payments  of  Monthly Base Rent to Landlord by wire  transfer  in
immediately available federal funds to such account in such  bank
as  Landlord may designate from time to time upon not  less  than
thirty  (30) days' notice to Tenant, which account shall  be  the
same account to which Tenant and/or Tenant's affiliates who lease
other  properties from Landlord named herein (or its  affiliates)
wire transfer payments of Monthly Base Rent for at least nine (9)
other  properties.   Monthly Base Rent for the  period  from  and
including  the Commencement Date through and including  the  last
day of the first full calendar month of the Term shall be paid in
advance on the Commencement Date.

3.3. Late Payments.  If Tenant shall fail to make payment of any
installment of Base Rent or any Additional Rent payable to
Landlord (rather than to a third party) within ten (10) days
after the date when each such payment is due, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord interest at a rate equal to the Default Rate (as
hereinafter defined) on the amount unpaid computed from the date
such payment of Base Rent or Additional Rent was due to and
including the date of payment thereof (but only with respect to
amounts payable directly to Landlord or that are not otherwise
subject to an interest or similar charge that will be treated as
Base Rent or Additional Rent hereunder).  Further, if any
installment of Monthly Base Rent is not paid within fifteen (15)
days after the date the same is due, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, on demand, as Additional Rent, a late charge (the "Late
Charge") equal to four percent (4%) of such overdue installment
of Monthly Base Rent.

3.4. Net Lease.  This is a net lease and Base Rent, Additional
Rent and, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all
other sums payable hereunder by Tenant shall be paid without
defense (other than defense of prior payment), notice, demand,
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, abatement, suspension,
deferment, diminution, deduction or reduction.  During the Term
of this Lease, Tenant shall be obligated to pay and shall be
liable for all costs and expenses associated with or arising from
the use, operation, maintenance, repair or improvements of the
Premises (regardless of whether such costs and expenses are
charged or imposed against Landlord or Tenant).

                           4.   TAXES

 4.1. As used in this Lease, the term "Premises Taxes" shall mean
all  real  estate, personal property, ad valorem and other  taxes
and  assessments, general and special, and all other governmental
charges  levied, assessed or imposed on or with  respect  to  the
Premises  or  which  arise  from  the  ownership,  leasing,  use,
occupancy  or  possession of all or any portion of the  Premises.
Without  limitation  of the foregoing, it is hereby  specifically
agreed  that  "Premises  Taxes"  include  all  taxes  and   other
governmental charges assessed or levied (i) on or with respect to
any  Base  Rent  or  Additional Rent payable  under  this  Lease,
(ii) with respect to any period prior to or during the Term,  and
(iii)  any  interest, penalties, fines and other amounts  charged
for   late   payment  or  non-payment  of  any  Premises   Taxes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Premises Taxes shall  not  include
(A)  any  taxes  or  assessments imposed on or  with  respect  to
Tenant's  Property (as defined in Section 9.1), (B)  any  income,
franchise or other taxes measured by Landlord's income or  profit
from  the  Premises on a net basis, other than  any  sales,  use,
rent, occupancy or similar taxes on or with respect to Base  Rent
or  Additional  Rent, or (C) any gifts, estate or other  transfer
taxes imposed on Landlord.

     4.2. Payment.

          (a)  Tenant shall pay Premises Taxes to the appropriate
     governmental  authority before delinquency  and  before  any
     interest, penalties or fines may be charged with respect thereto
     and  shall deliver a copy of all paid tax bills to  Landlord
     promptly upon request.

(b)  If any Premises Taxes relate to a fiscal period which is
partly within and partly outside of the period for which Tenant
is responsible, the amount thereof shall be prorated so that
Tenant will be responsible for that portion which relates to the
period prior to and after the Commencement Date and through the
Expiration Date and Landlord will be responsible for the portion
after the Expiration Date.

(c)  Any refunds (including any accrued interest) of Premises
Taxes applicable to the period prior to and during the Term shall
be the property of Tenant and to the extent received by Landlord
shall be paid over to Tenant promptly after receipt thereof.  Any
refund of Premises Taxes shall be deemed a reduction of
Additional Rent hereunder.

     4.3. Contest.  Subject to the provisions hereof, Tenant, at its
own  expense, may contest Premises Taxes in any manner  permitted
by  law, in Tenant's name, and, whenever necessary, in Landlord's
name  and  Landlord  will  cooperate at Tenant's  sole  cost  and
expense with Tenant and execute any documents reasonably required
for  such purpose.  Any such contest shall be conducted by Tenant
in  good  faith and at its sole cost and expense, by  appropriate
proceedings  which shall operate during the pendency  thereof  to
prevent  (i)  the collection of, or other realization  upon,  the
Premises Taxes so contested, (ii) the sale, forfeiture or loss of
the Premises, any Base Rent or any Additional Rent to satisfy the
same, (iii) any interference with the use or occupancy of any  of
the  Premises, and (iv) any interference with the payment of  any
Base  Rent  or the portion of any Additional Rent that  does  not
represent  the Premises Taxes being contested under this  Section
4.3.  In no event shall Tenant pursue any contest with respect to
any  Premises  Taxes  in  any manner  that  exposes  Landlord  to
(a)  criminal  liability,  penalty or  sanction,  (b)  any  civil
liability,  penalty  or sanction for which Tenant  has  not  made
provisions  reasonably acceptable to Landlord, or (c)  defeasance
of  its  interest  the Premises.  Tenant agrees  that  each  such
contest  shall  be  diligently prosecuted to a final  conclusion.
Tenant shall pay and save Landlord harmless from and against  any
and  all losses, judgments, decrees and costs (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with  any
such contest and shall, promptly after the final determination of
such contest, fully pay and discharge the amounts which shall  be
levied,  assessed,  charged or imposed or  be  determined  to  be
payable  therein  or in connection therewith, together  with  all
penalties,  fines,  interest, costs and expenses  thereof  or  in
connection therewith.

     conduct or knowingly permit any HS Activity in, on or from the
     Premises or knowingly allow any Hazardous Substances on  the
     Premises, in each case, in violation of any Environmental Laws,
     and (ii) shall comply or cause compliance with all Environmental

     other  person  other than Tenant and its members,  managers,
     affiliates,  officers,  directors,  employees,  contractors,
     representatives, agents, assignees or subtenants (collectively,

     preceding clauses (i) and (ii) are called "Tenant's Compliance
     Obligation"). Tenant shall promptly give notice to Landlord if
     Tenant becomes aware of any action, claim, suit or proceeding

     then Tenant shall, or shall cause responsible third parties to,
     promptly commence and diligently implement all investigation,
     site monitoring, containment, cleanup, removal, restoration or
     other  remedial  work  of any kind or nature  (collectively,

     and in compliance with all Environmental Laws, all at Tenant's
     sole cost and expense.

(b)  Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Landlord, any Landlord Lender and their respective managers,
partners, members, officers, directors, shareholders, employees
and agents ("Landlord Indemnitees") from and against any and all
claims, demands, actions, liabilities, damages, assessments,
losses, fines, penalties, costs and expenses, including
remediation, clean-up and detoxification costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees, arising from or related to any breach or
violation by Tenant of its obligations set forth in Section
5.2(a).  The provisions of Section 5.2 shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Lease.
(c)  Upon Landlord's request, at any time after the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default or at such
other time as Landlord has reasonable grounds to believe that
Tenant is in violation of Tenant's Compliance Obligation, Tenant
shall cause an inspection or audit of the Premises by an
environmental engineer or other appropriate consultant reasonably
approved by Landlord to determine the presence or absence of
Hazardous Substances on the Premises.  If Tenant fails to
effectuate the commencement of such inspection or audit within
thirty (30) days after such request or fails to deliver a written
report of such inspection or audit to Landlord within sixty (60)
days after such request, Landlord may order the same, and Tenant
hereby grants to Landlord and its respective employees,
contractors and agents access to the Premises upon prior
reasonable notice to undertake such inspection or audit, provided
that such inspection or audit does not interfere with the conduct
of Tenant's business on the Premises, Landlord provides Tenant
certificates of insurance naming Tenant as an additional insured
and containing such types of insurance and limits as Tenant
reasonably requires, Landlord promptly repairs any damage caused
by such testing and restores the Premises to the condition in
which it existed immediately prior to such damage at Landlord's
sole cost and expense, and Landlord shall indemnify Tenant if and
to the extent required under Section 14.2 hereof for all loss,
cost, damage, liens, claims, liabilities or expenses (including,
but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and
disbursements) incurred by Tenant arising from or by reason of
such inspection or audit.  The cost of such inspection or audit
shall be paid (i) by Tenant if such inspection or audit shall
confirm a violation of Tenant's Compliance Obligation or (ii) by
Landlord if such inspection or audit does not confirm a violation
of Tenant's Compliance Obligation.
(d)  Landlord and Tenant expressly agree that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease (including, but
not limited to, the provisions of Section 14.1 hereof), except in
the case of Tenant's obligations expressly set forth under
Sections 5.2(a), (b) and (c) hereof, Tenant shall have no
obligation under this Lease (i) to defend, indemnify or hold
harmless Landlord or Landlord Indemnitees with respect to any
Hazardous Substance, Environmental Laws or HS Activity, (ii) to
engage any environmental engineer or appropriate consultant with
respect to any Hazardous Substance, Environmental Laws or HS
Activity, (iii) to conduct any audit or inspection of the
Premises with respect to any Hazardous Substance, Environmental
Laws or HS Activity, (iv) to comply or cause compliance with any
Environmental Laws, or (v) to perform or cause performance of any
Remedial Work with respect to any Hazardous Substance,
Environmental Laws or HS Activity.

     5.3. Landlord Obligations.  On or after the Commencement Date,
Landlord shall not conduct any HS Activity on, about or from  the
Premises.   Landlord  shall promptly give  notice  to  Tenant  if
Landlord  becomes aware of any action, claim, suit or  proceeding
relating to a violation or alleged violation of any Environmental
Laws  filed or threatened against Landlord or the Premises or  if
Landlord  has received notice or has actual knowledge of  any  HS
Activity on the Premises caused by a person other than Tenant  or
any Tenant Party.

                6.   COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS

     6.1. Compliance With Law.  During the Term, Tenant shall comply,
and  shall cause the Premises to comply, in all material respects

now or hereafter in force, applicable to the Premises or Tenant's
use  or  occupancy of the Premises, including without limitation,
the  Occupational Safety and Health Act, as amended ("OSHA"), the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended ("ADA"), and,
subject  to  Section 5.2, all Environmental Laws.   Tenant  shall
procure,  maintain and comply, and shall cause  the  Premises  to
comply,  with any and all permits, approvals, licenses and  other
governmental   authorizations  required  for  the   lawful   use,
operation, maintenance and any "Alteration" (hereinafter defined)
of the Premises.

6.2. Compliance With Permitted Encumbrances.  Tenant agrees that
with respect to all easements, conditions, covenants,
restrictions, encumbrances or agreements now affecting the
Premises or which are hereafter created by or consented to by
Tenant (collectively, the "Permitted Encumbrances"), Tenant shall
observe, perform and comply with, and cause the Premises to
comply with, and carry out and perform all of the obligations
therein which are to be observed and performed by the owner or
any occupant of the Premises thereunder, and shall pay all
assessments, fees, costs and expenses required to be paid by the

nothing  herein  shall be deemed to limit the  rights  of  Tenant
Lender  under  Section 20.2 hereof.  If any Lien shall  be  filed
against  all or any portion of the Premises (other than any  Lien
arising  due  to any act or omission of Landlord or its  agents),
(i)  Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord within ten (10)
business days after the date on which Tenant first becomes  aware
of  the filing of any such Lien, and (ii) within forty-five  (45)
days after first becoming aware of such filing, (but in any event
before  any enforcement action to foreclose is taken with respect
to  such Lien), Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause
the  Lien  to  be  discharged of record or  bonded  over  by  any
statutory bonding procedure sufficient to prevent foreclosure  or
other  enforcement of such Lien, and shall deliver notice thereof
to  Landlord,  failing which Landlord shall have the  right,  but
shall   not   be   obligated,  to  discharge  the  Lien   without
investigating  the  validity  or amount  thereof.   Tenant  shall
reimburse Landlord on demand for any reasonable amounts  so  paid
or  incurred  by  Landlord,  including  reasonable  expenses  and
attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith.

     Notice is hereby given that Landlord shall not be liable for
any labor, services or materials furnished or to be furnished  to
Tenant, or to anyone holding any of the Premises through or under
Tenant, and that no mechanic's, materialman's or other Liens  for
any  such labor, services or materials shall attach to or  affect
the interest of Landlord in and to any of the Premises.

                     8.   USE AND ENJOYMENT

     8.1. Use.

     (a)  Unless otherwise approved in writing by Landlord, during the
     Term the Premises shall be used only for the operation of an
     Applebee's Restaurant, including without limitation, ancillary
     carry-out food service and the sale of beer, wine and  other
     alcoholic beverages, or, if a change in use is requested  by
     Franchisor, any other restaurant which may be affiliated with or
     franchised by Franchisor.  The Premises shall be attractive in
     appearance and Tenant shall conduct its business in a lawful and
     reputable manner.  Tenant shall not commit waste on the Premises
     and shall not occupy or use the Premises or permit the same to be
     used or occupied for any purpose or in any manner that violates
     any applicable legal or governmental requirement.

(b)  Tenant shall continuously operate a business pursuant to
Section 8.1(a) from the Premises during the Term of this Lease;
provided, however, that Tenant may temporarily cease its
operations at the Premises for (i) restoration, alteration and
repair obligations pursuant to the terms of its Franchise
Agreement; (ii) the performance of Alterations permitted under
this Lease; or (iii) as a result of any emergency, casualty or
event of force majeure.
(c)  All garbage, trash and refuse generated from the operation
of the business conducted on the Premises shall be placed in
appropriate garbage receptacles and, at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, removed from the Premises with sufficient frequency so
as to avoid any accumulation thereof outside of such receptacles.

     8.2. Exterior Signs, Awnings and Canopies.  Tenant, at its sole
cost  and  expense, may at any time and from time to time  during
the  Term  install, alter, and/or replace any  and  all  exterior
signs,  awnings and/or canopies as Tenant may determine, so  long
as  they  are  in  compliance with all applicable  laws  and  all
Permitted  Encumbrances.  Tenant, at its sole cost  and  expense,
shall  obtain  all necessary permits for all signs,  awnings  and
canopies  on  the Premises and shall maintain the  same  in  good
condition and repair.

8.3. Utilities.  Tenant shall arrange and contract, in its name,
for and pay when due all charges for water, gas, electricity,
cable TV, telephone, trash removal, scavenger service and other
utility services used or consumed on the Premises by Tenant or
its agents during the Term, all of which shall be separately
metered and billed to Tenant.

8.4. Quiet Enjoyment.  Landlord covenants with Tenant that
Tenant, upon paying Rent to Landlord and performing Tenant's
other covenants in this Lease, shall and may peaceably and
quietly have, hold, occupy, possess and enjoy the Premises during
the Term without any interference from Landlord or anyone
claiming by, through or under Landlord.

8.5. Signage Rights, Parking, Access, Easements.  Landlord
covenants with Tenant that Landlord shall not engage in any
action, or grant any rights which affect parking at the Premises,
access to the Premises, means of ingress and egress to and from
the Premises, visibility to or from the Premises, Tenant's
signage at the Premises or rights to the roof of the Premises,
any telecommunications equipment or utilities which service the
Premises, Tenant's air rights and any other rights to which
Tenant may be entitled pursuant to any easement agreements or
similar agreements affecting the Premises without Tenant's prior
written consent, which may be granted or withheld in Tenant's
sole discretion but shall not be unreasonably withheld if such
action will not materially adversely affect the conduct of
Tenant's business at the Premises.  Landlord agrees to deliver to
Tenant copies of any notices Landlord receives with respect to
the aforementioned rights.  Landlord agrees that so long as no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon
request by Tenant (and only after all documentation reasonably
required to consummate the relevant transaction shall have been
provided to Landlord), Landlord shall (i) enter into, modify or
grant such easements, covenants, waivers, approvals or
restrictions for utilities, parking or other matters as Tenant
may desire for the operation of the Premises (including, without
limitation, consenting to site and common area changes affecting
access, parking, tenant mix and the like and approving uses or
users of the other properties in the vicinity of the Premises
which Tenant reasonably believes will have a positive impact on
its business at the Premises) (collectively, "Easements"), or
(ii) dedicate or transfer, minor non-essential unimproved
portions of the Premises for road, highway or other public
purposes to the extent such dedications or transfers are
consistent with commercially reasonable development or operation
of the Premises or, in Tenant's reasonable judgment, will have a
positive impact on its business at the Premises (the
"Dedications"); provided, that Landlord shall be obligated to
take such action only if (A) any such Easements or Dedications do
not adversely affect the value of the Premises (other than to a
de minimis extent), do not unreasonably render the use of the
Premises dependent upon any other property or unreasonably
condition the use of the Premises upon the use of any other
property, and do not adversely affect (other than to a de minimis
extent) the use, or visibility of, or access to, the Premises,
(B) Tenant advises Landlord of the amount of the consideration,
if any, being paid for such Easements or Dedications and that
Tenant considers such consideration, if any, to be fair under the
circumstance and that such consideration, if any, shall be paid
to Landlord, (C) Tenant acknowledges in writing that for so long
as this Lease is in effect, Tenant will perform all obligations,
if any, of Landlord under the applicable instrument and Tenant
will remain obligated under this Lease and AAG (if the Guaranty
is then in effect) acknowledges in writing that AAG will remain
obligated under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with
their respective terms, and (D) Tenant pays all out-of-pocket
costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with said
Easements or Dedications including, without limitation reasonable
attorneys' fees.  Subject to the foregoing clauses (A) through
(D), Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant's efforts to enter into
any Dedications or Easements.

     If  Tenant shall submit a request to Landlord for Landlord's
cooperation  in connection with any such Easement  or  Dedication
which  requires Landlord's approval or execution of any document,
Landlord  shall  (x)  approve such Easement  or  Dedication,  and
execute   and  deliver  to  Tenant  all  documents  required   in
connection therewith, within ten (10) days of receiving  Tenant's
request  for  approval, or (y) disapprove Tenant's request  in  a
written  notice  with a detailed explanation  of  its  objections
delivered  to  Tenant within ten (10) days of receiving  Tenant's
request  for approval.  If Landlord fails to respond within  such
ten  (10)  day  period,  Tenant's request with  respect  to  such
Easement or Dedication shall be deemed to be approved by Landlord
hereunder  and  Tenant  is  hereby authorized  and  empowered  to
execute and deliver on behalf of Landlord, as Landlord's attorney-
in-fact,  all  instruments and documents required  in  connection
therewith.

      If  Landlord  timely disapproves of a Tenant request  under
this  Section  8.5, then Tenant may elect, by delivering  written
notice   to   Landlord,  to  resolve  the  matter  by   expedited
arbitration  in  accordance with this  paragraph.   Landlord  and
Tenant shall mutually select a single arbitrator within ten  (10)
days  after delivery of Tenant's notice of arbitration hereunder.
If  the  parties  cannot  agree upon an  arbitrator  within  such
period, then either party may request that a qualified arbitrator
be   appointed   by  the  office  of  the  American   Arbitration
Association located nearest to the Premises.  Following selection
or   appointment,   the  arbitrator  shall  meet   jointly   with
representatives of Landlord and Tenant within twenty (20) days to
consider  the  parties' positions on the disputed issue  and  the
arbitrator  shall  render  a  written  decision  within  two  (2)
business  days  following  such meeting.   The  decision  of  the
arbitrator   shall  be  final,  binding  on   the   parties   and
nonappealable.  The arbitration shall otherwise be  conducted  in
accordance with the American Arbitration Association's rules  for
expedited  dispute resolution in effect at the  time.   The  non-
prevailing   party  in  any  such  arbitration  shall   pay   the
arbitrator's fee and expenses.

 8.6. Warranties, Guaranties and Indemnities.  Landlord assigns to
Tenant,  without recourse or warranty whatsoever, all warranties,
guaranties  and  indemnities, express  or  implied,  and  similar
rights  which Landlord may have against any manufacturer,  seller
(other than the Seller under the Purchase and Sale Agreement from
whom  Landlord  acquired the Premises), engineer,  contractor  or
builder  with respect to the Premises, including, but not limited
to,  any  rights and remedies existing under contract or pursuant
to  the Uniform Commercial Code (collectively, the "guaranties").
Such  assignment shall remain in effect during the Term. Landlord
hereby  agrees  to execute and deliver at Tenant's  expense  such
further  documents,  including powers of  attorney  (which  shall
contain indemnity agreements from Tenant to Landlord which  shall
be  in  form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord), as Tenant  may
reasonably request in order that Tenant may have the full benefit
of  the  assignment  of guaranties effected  or  intended  to  be
effected  by  this  Section  8.6.   Upon  the  occurrence  of   a
termination  of  this  Lease, the guaranties shall  automatically
revert to Landlord.

               9.   TENANT'S PROPERTY; LIEN WAIVER

     9.1. Tenant's Property.  Landlord agrees that all (i) fixtures,
furniture,  furnishings, equipment (other  than  floor  and  wall
coverings,  fixtures  which  are  "built-ins"  or  constitute  an
integral  part  of  the Building, the walk-in cooler,  heat,  air
conditioning and ventilation systems, electrical, mechanical  and
plumbing  systems, all of which are owned by and are the property
of   Landlord),  Kitchen  Equipment  (as  hereinafter   defined),
inventory, merchandise, goods, chattels, trade fixtures, signage,
appliances  display  cases, supplies, tools, machinery,  security
systems,  computer software or other personal property of  Tenant
(including, without limitation, trade fixtures in, on, around  or
affixed to the Premises), (ii)  fixtures, furniture, furnishings,
equipment, supplies, tools, machinery, security systems, computer
software, signage and other personal property (including, without
limitation,  trade  fixtures in, on, around  or  affixed  to  the
Premises) which display the name, trade name, trademark,  service
mark,  logo,  insignia, slogan, emblem or  symbol  of  Applebee's
International  Inc.'s  ("Franchisor") or of Tenant  ("Distinctive
Property"),  and  (iii)  all  licenses,  permits,  approvals  and
authorizations, if any, which are required in connection with the
operation  of  Tenant's business, including, without  limitation,
all  liquor  licenses,  at  any  time  located  on  the  Premises
(collectively, "Tenant's Property"), shall be and  at  all  times
remain the property of Tenant regardless of whether the same  (x)
is affixed to the Improvements on the Land or the manner in which
the  same is affixed (unless permanently affixed) or (y) may  now
or  hereafter be regarded as a fixture or as property of Landlord
by  operation of law or otherwise, unless, however, such fixtures
and equipment cannot be removed without substantial damage to any
Improvements which cannot be easily repaired.  As used herein the
term  "Kitchen  Equipment"  shall  include,  without  limitation,
kitchen   fixtures  (except  for  sanitary  plumbing   fixtures),
counters, stainless steel equipment, ranges, ovens, display cases
and  refrigeration  equipment  (excluding  the  walk-in  cooler).
Tenant  shall  have the right at any time and from time  to  time
during  the  Term and, subject to the provisions of Section  16.2
below,  within  fifteen (15) days after the end of  the  Term  to
remove any Tenant's Property from the Premises.

9.2. Waiver of Landlord's Lien.  Tenant contemplates financing
from time to time some or all of Tenant's Property with a lender
or vendor ("TE Lender") who will require a security interest
therein (those items of Tenant's Property which are subject to
such security interest being referred to collectively as
"Financed Personalty").  Landlord hereby disclaims and waives any
and all liens or right which Landlord may have to claim a lien
against the Tenant's Property for nonpayment of Rent or otherwise
and agrees to execute and deliver promptly upon request a waiver
with respect thereto.

            10.  ALTERATIONS; MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

     10.1.     Alterations.

          (a)  Alterations.  For purposes of this Lease, any physical
     improvement, addition, enhancement or change with respect to all
     or any portion of the Premises is referred to as an "Alteration."
     Tenant or Franchisor shall have the right at any time and from
     time to time during the Term to make or cause to be made any
     Alteration in or to the Premises (i) without Landlord's consent,
     if such Alteration consists of the demolition of the Building and
     reconstruction of a new prototypical building  so  long  as:
     (A) the new building is constructed in compliance with applicable
     codes and Permitted Exceptions, (B) Tenant continues to pay Rent,
     (C) construction is completed within nine (9) months following
     demolition of the Building, subject to extension  for  force
     majeure  events, (D) Landlord has approved  in  advance  the
     construction budget (which shall include a contingency) for the
     new building, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld,
     delayed or conditioned, and (E) either (y) in the case where the
     Guaranty is in full force and effect prior to demolition Tenant
     has provided Landlord with a commercially reasonable completion
     bond for the project or such other assurance of performance as
     Landlord may reasonably accept, or (z) prior to demolition the
     Tenant deposits with Landlord cash (the "Deposit") sufficient to
     construct the building and improvement pursuant to the approved
     budget,  with  the Deposit being disbursed pursuant  to  the
     Landlord's then current construction disbursement procedures;
     (ii) without Landlord's consent, if such Alteration is performed
     in  order  to  comply with any of Tenant's  agreements  with
     Franchisor and such Alteration does not adversely affect any
     structural component of the Building, and (iii) in the case of
     any  Alteration other than those permitted under clause (ii)
     above, with Landlord's prior consent, which consent shall not be
     unreasonably withheld provided that such Alteration does not
     (A) diminish the value of the Premises (including, by way of
     example only, but without limitation, by diminishing the utility
     of the Improvements for use as a restaurant or diminishing the
     useful life of the Improvements, except to a de minimis extent,
     or (B) adversely affect any structural component of the Building.
     Every Alteration shall be made in accordance with all applicable
     laws, legal requirements and the Permitted Encumbrances.  If
     Tenant shall submit a request to Landlord for Landlord's approval
     of an Alteration which requires Landlord's approval, Landlord
     shall  (x) approve such Alteration proposed by Tenant within
     twenty-one (21) days of receiving Tenant's proposal and request
     for approval or (y) disapprove Tenant's proposal in writing with
     a detailed explanation of its objections within twenty-one (21)
     days of receiving Tenant's proposal and request for approval.  If
     Tenant submits a proposal to Landlord and Landlord disapproves
     such proposal within the twenty-one (21) day time period, Tenant
     may submit another proposal with modifications thereto made in
     response to Landlord's objections and Landlord shall so approve
     or disapprove same within seven (7) days after submission of such
     modified proposal.  If Landlord does not approve or disapprove
     any proposal or modified proposal in writing with a detailed
     explanation of its objections within the applicable seven (7)  or
     twenty-one (21) day period, Tenant may submit to Landlord  a
     reminder notice, which shall state that Landlord's failure to
     disapprove the applicable proposal within seven (7) days after
     receipt of such reminder notice shall be deemed to constitute
     Landlord's approval thereof.  If Landlord does not disapprove
     such proposal or modified proposal in writing with a detailed
     explanation of Landlord's objections to Tenant's modifications
     within seven (7) days after receipt of Tenant's reminder notice,
     Landlord  shall  be deemed to have approved the  Alterations
     proposed by Tenant.

      (b)  In connection with any Alteration:  (i) the Alterations to
     be made will be constructed using materials of a quality and
     workmanship at least as good as the original work; (ii) all such
     Alterations shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner,
     and shall be performed diligently in a commercially reasonable
     time period subject to force majeure in compliance with all laws,
     legal requirements and the terms of all Permitted Encumbrances;
     (iii) all work done in connection with any such Alteration shall
     comply in all material respects with all requirements of any
     insurance policies in effect with respect to the Premises (the
     "Insurance Requirements"); (iv) Tenant shall pay when due all
     costs and expenses of any such Alteration, and shall discharge
     all liens filed against any of the Premises arising out of the
     same;  (v) Tenant shall procure and pay for all permits  and
     licenses required in connection with any such Alteration; (vi)
     all such Alterations shall be the property of Landlord and shall
     be  subject  to this Lease (except for any Alteration  which
     constitutes Tenant's Property); and (vii) all Alterations shall
     be  made  under the supervision of an architect or  engineer
     selected  by  Tenant  and  in  accordance  with  plans   and
     specifications which shall be submitted to Landlord prior to the
     commencement of the Alterations; provided, however, Landlord
     shall have no right to approve such architect, engineer, plans or
     specifications, except as expressly set forth in Section 10.1(a).

   10.2.  Maintenance and Repair.  During the Term, Tenant at its
sole  cost and expense, agrees to make all necessary repairs  and
replacements to the Improvements as often as required to keep and
maintain  the  Premises  in good and safe condition  and  repair.
Notwithstanding   any   provision  to  the   contrary,   Tenant's
obligations  under  this  Section shall not  include  making  any
repair  or  improvement necessitated by the act of Landlord,  its
agents,  employees or servants.  If Tenant shall default  in  its
obligations  under this Section 10.2, Landlord may, after  thirty
(30)  days  written  notice to Tenant and failure  by  Tenant  to
perform   any   necessary  repairs  and   replacements   to   the
Improvements  within  such  thirty (30)  day  period,  enter  the
Premises to commence such repairs or replacement.  All reasonable
sums  incurred by Landlord in connection with any such repair  or
replacement  shall constitute Additional Rent payable  by  Tenant
under  this Lease and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord  within
ten  (10) days of Tenant's receipt of a detailed invoice for such
charges.

              11.  CONDEMNATION AND CASUALTY DAMAGE

  11.1.  Substantial Taking.  If all or substantially all of the
Premises  is taken or appropriated for any public or quasi-public
use  or  purpose by any lawful power or authority by the exercise
of  the  right of eminent domain or by virtue of condemnation  or
other similar proceedings, including a deed given in lieu thereof
("Taking"), other than a temporary Taking for a period of one (1)
year  or  less,  this  Lease  shall  terminate  as  of  the  date
possession is required by the condemning authority and  Rent  and
all  other charges and costs payable hereunder shall be  adjusted
and paid to the effective date of termination.

     11.2.     Other Taking.

     (a)  If there shall be a Taking, other than a temporary Taking
     for a period of one (1) year or less, of (i) a portion of the
     Building, (ii) twenty percent (20%) or more of the parking area
     of the Premises, or (iii) any material part of a driveway or
     roadway necessary for access to the Premises, and in Tenant's
     reasonable judgment such Taking under clauses (i), (ii) or (iii),
     would render the Premises (or the remainder thereof) unsuitable
     for the conduct of Tenant's business, Tenant shall have the right
     to terminate this Lease as of the date possession is required by
     the condemning authority by giving notice to that effect  to
     Landlord within sixty (60) days after notice to Tenant of the
     date such possession is required.  In such event, Rent and all
     other charges and costs payable hereunder shall be adjusted and
     paid to the effective date of termination.

(b)  If only a portion of the Premises is subject to a Taking and
Tenant is not entitled to or shall not exercise its right to
terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 11.2(a), this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect, and there shall be no
abatement or reduction of Rent payable hereunder.  Tenant shall
make any and all repairs and restorations to the remainder of the
Premises to the extent necessary to render the same a complete
architectural unit suitable for Tenant's use.

 11.3.     Compensation.  (a) In the event that all or any portion
of the Premises is subject to a Taking, Landlord and Tenant shall
cooperate  to  maximize  the amount  of  the  recovery  from  the
condemning   authority.  If  the  recovery  from  the  condemning
authority  is  paid into a common fund or paid only to  Landlord,
such  recovery shall be allocated as follows and in the following
priority:  (i) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, to Tenant for the cost of any repairs required
pursuant  to Section 11.2(b), subject, however, to the provisions
of  Section  11.3(b)  hereof;  (ii)  to  Landlord,  that  portion
allocable to Land which is taken; (iii) to Landlord, that portion
allocable  to Improvements which are taken; (iv) to Tenant,  that
portion allocable to Tenant's Property or Tenant's relocation and
moving    expenses;   and   (v)   to   Landlord,   the   balance.
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing, all proceeds  from  a  temporary
Taking  shall  be  (A)  paid  to Tenant  if  this  Lease  is  not
terminated  and  (B)  equitably allocated  between  Landlord  and
Tenant as of the date of termination if this Lease is terminated.
The  provisions of this Section shall survive any termination  of
this Lease pursuant to Sections 11.1 or 11.2(a).

     (b)  If the proceeds from a Taking, and the estimated costs of
     repairs to be performed by Tenant pursuant to Section 11.2(b),
     exceeds One Hundred Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($125,000.00),
     then  such  proceeds shall be held by Landlord or Landlord's
     Lender, and Landlord shall cause the proceeds to be paid out from
     time to time to Tenant as the work progresses, subject to each of
     the following conditions:

          (i)  Each request for payment shall be made on not less than ten
          (10) business days' prior notice to Landlord, and shall be
          accompanied by an officer's certificate stating (A) that no Event
          of Default exists under this Lease and (B) that the sum requested
          is validly required to reimburse Tenant for payments by Tenant to
          complete the repair work, or is validly due to the contractor,
          subcontractors, materialmen, laborers, engineers, architects or
          other persons rendering services or materials for the work
          (giving a brief description of such services and materials).  At
          the time of disbursement, no Event of Default shall have occurred
          and be continuing.

(ii) Each request for payment shall be accompanied by waivers of
lien reasonably satisfactory to Landlord covering that part of
the work for which payment or reimbursement has been made as of
the date shown on the current request.
(iii)     Landlord shall release to Tenant the amount requested
by Tenant, subject to the amount retained by Landlord in
accordance with subsection (iv) below, within ten (10) business
days of Tenant's satisfaction of the items set forth in
subsection (i) and (ii) above. Disbursements shall be made not
more frequently than once every thirty (30) days.
(iv) Except and to the extent that Tenant is already retaining a
like amount from its contractors, Landlord (or Landlord Lender)
may retain ten percent (10%) of the proceeds as retainage until
the repairs and restoration are substantially complete.
(v)  Proceeds held by Landlord in accordance with this Section
shall be held in an interest bearing account and any interest
earned on the proceeds shall be a part of the proceeds, and shall
be disbursed in accordance with this Lease. Landlord shall take
any interest earned into account for purposes of determining its
federal income tax liability, if any, and shall pay any income
taxes thereon.

     11.4.     Casualty Damage.

          (a)  If the Improvements or any portion thereof are damaged or
     destroyed by fire or other casualty ("Casualty"), and this Lease
     is  not terminated pursuant to Section 11.4(b) below, Tenant
     shall, promptly and diligently repair such damage and restore the
     Improvements as nearly as possible to the condition which existed
     prior to the occurrence of such Casualty or to any comparable or
     improved condition consistent with Tenant's or Franchisor's then-
     current store design and this Lease shall remain in full force
     and  effect  and Tenant shall continue to pay Rent.   Tenant
     promptly shall commence and diligently pursue to completion the
     repair, restoration and replacement of the damaged or destroyed
     Improvements, due allowance being made for time needed to obtain
     permits, adjust insurance and for delay on account of events of
     force majeure.  Such repair, restoration and replacement shall be
     performed  in  accordance with all  applicable  laws,  legal
     requirements  and Permitted Encumbrances.  Tenant  shall  be
     responsible  for the repair or replacement of  any  Tenant's
     Property damaged by such Casualty.  As used in this Lease the
     word  "destroyed" shall mean completely destroyed above  the
     foundation, or so substantially damaged as to require demolition
     to the foundation, or such other severity of damage as may be
     established  or  imposed by applicable governmental  law  or
     ordinance which, if suffered, would constitute total destruction
     or  require  demolition before repair or reconstruction  may
     commence.

(b)  If the Improvements or any portion thereof is damaged or
destroyed (i) during the last two (2) Lease Years of the Term (or
the Term as then extended) to the extent of twenty-five percent
(25%) or more of the replacement value thereof (exclusive of the
foundation) immediately prior to such Casualty; or (ii) by a
cause or peril which is not covered by the property insurance
required to be carried pursuant to Section 12.1(b) (excluding any
cause or peril arising from any act of Tenant or any of its
members, managers, officers, directors, employees, contractors,
agents, representatives, subtenants or assignees) or other
insurance which is then customarily being carried by a
commercially reasonable prudent operator of a facility similar to
the Premises; then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this
Lease by giving notice to that effect ("Termination Notice") to
Landlord within one hundred twenty (120) days after the
occurrence of the Casualty, in which event termination shall be
effective as of the date of such Casualty if the Building is
destroyed and otherwise as of the date Tenant vacates the
Premises following such Casualty.

(c)  If this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section 11.4,
Rent and all other charges and costs payable hereunder shall be
adjusted and paid to the effective date of termination, and all
proceeds of any insurance with respect to the Premises (exclusive
of Tenant's Property, which shall be paid to Tenant) shall be
paid to Landlord.
                         12.  INSURANCE

     12.1.     By Tenant.  Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall
obtain  and maintain (or cause to be obtained and maintained,  as
the case may be) the following insurance during the Term:

     (a)  Commercial general public liability insurance with limits of
     not less than Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) per
     occurrence.

(b)  All-risk property insurance covering all Improvements
constituting part of the Premises, including the Building, all
Alterations and other improvements (excluding Tenant's Property),
in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the
replacement cost thereof, including (i) ordinance or law coverage
including any amounts necessary to replace the undamaged portion
of the Building, to cover cost increases arising from changes in
building codes or other ordinances or laws and to cover costs of
debris removal, and (ii) boiler and machinery coverage;
(c)  Property insurance covering Tenant's Property in such
amounts as Tenant deems necessary or desirable;
(d)  A liquor liability policy with limits of not less than Five
Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) per occurrence and
Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) in the aggregate;
(e)  Workers' compensation and employer's liability insurance as
required by applicable law;
(f)  Insurance against loss or damage from explosion of any steam
or pressure boilers or similar apparatus located in or about the
Improvements in an amount not less than the actual replacement
cost of the Improvements and equipment located within the
Improvements;
(g)  If any portion of the improvements is located in an area
designated by the Federal Emergency Management Association as
having special flood and mud slide hazards, flood insurance in
the maximum available amount; and
(h)  Loss of rent insurance in amounts sufficient to compensate
Landlord for all Base Rent, Additional Rent and other amounts
payable hereunder for a period of not less than twelve (12)
months, the amount of such coverage to be adjusted annually to
reflect the Base Rent, Additional Rent and other amounts payable
during the succeeding twelve (12) month period.

     12.2.     General Requirements.  All insurance (and renewals
thereof)  required by this Article shall be issued by responsible
insurance  carriers authorized to do business  in  the  State  in
which  the Premises is located and having a claims paying ability
rating  of  not  less  than  "A-" by  Standard  &  Poor's  Rating
Services,  a  division of The McGraw-Hill Companies,  Inc.   Each
policy (and any renewal thereof) shall expressly provide that  it
shall  not  be cancelled or changed without at least thirty  (30)
days'  prior  written  notice to all  parties  insured  or  named
therein.   The  insurance described in Sections 12.1(a)  and  (d)
shall  include  Landlord  and  Landlord's  Lender,  if  any,   as
additional    insureds.     The    insurance    provided    under
Sections  12.1(b), (f) and (g) shall name Landlord each  Landlord
Lender  as  a  loss  payee with respect to any  losses,  and  any
proceeds  paid to Landlord thereunder shall be held and disbursed
by  Landlord on the same terms as those set forth in Section 11.3
(except that proceeds from losses of less than One Hundred Twenty-
five  Thousand  Dollars  ($125,000)  shall  be  paid  to  Tenant;
provided   that  no  Event  of  Default  has  occurred   and   is
continuing).  In the event of any Tenant financing, the  interest
of  Landlord  and Landlord's Lender, if any, under  the  property
insurance  described in Sections 12.1(b), (f) and  (g)  shall  be
senior  to  the  interest  of  any Tenant  Lender.   All  of  the
insurance   required  by  this  Article  shall  be  primary   and
noncontributing with any insurance which may be  carried  by  the
Landlord, shall afford coverage for all claims based on any  act,
omission,  event or condition which occurs or arises  during  the
policy  period,  and  may be obtained by endorsement  on  blanket
policy(ies) of insurance carried and maintained by Tenant.   Upon
issuance  and  each  renewal thereof,  Tenant  shall  deliver  to
Landlord  a certificate thereof and reasonable evidence  of  paid
premium, failing which Landlord shall have the right from time to
time after no less than ten (10) days' notice (except that if any
insurance required under Section 12.1 has lapsed, no prior notice
shall be necessary) to effect such insurance for no more than one
(1) year and all premiums paid by Landlord shall be reimbursed by
Tenant  upon  written demand.  The amount of  insurance  coverage
required in Sections 12.1(a) and (d) above each shall be  subject
to  increase from time to time (but not more frequently than once
every  five  (5) years) and upon not less than ninety  (90)  days
prior notice therefor from Landlord to Tenant; provided that  (y)
such  additional coverage is comparable and not  more  than  that
commonly  carried  by  owners  of  similar  properties   in   the
metropolitan  vicinity of the Premises, and (z)  such  additional
coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates.  Landlord
shall  have no interest in any insurance proceeds Tenant receives
for Tenant's Property and Landlord shall sign all documents which
are necessary or appropriate in connection with the settlement of
any claim or loss by Tenant with respect to Tenant's Property.

12.3.     Mutual Waiver of Subrogation.  Tenant agrees to have
all policies of fire and extended coverage insurance now or
hereafter carried by it with respect to the Improvements endorsed
with a clause substantially as follows:  "This insurance shall
not be invalidated should the insured waive in writing prior to a
loss any or all rights of recovery against any party for loss
occurring to the property described herein."  The obligation to
obtain such an endorsement shall be subject to the availability
thereof at commercially reasonable rates.  Landlord and Tenant
hereby waive all claims for recovery from each other for any loss
or damage to it or any of its property insured under valid and
collectible insurance policies to the extent of the proceeds
collected under such insurance policies.

                 13.  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

  13.1.     Consent Required.  Except as provided in Section 13.2
below  and Tenant financing pursuant to Article 20 below,  Tenant
shall  not sell, encumber, assign or transfer this Lease  or  any
interest  herein,  nor  sublet all or any part  of  the  Premises
without the prior written consent of Landlord which shall not  be
unreasonably  withheld, conditioned or delayed so  long  as  such
proposed  assignee  or  subtenant is  a  capable  operator  of  a
restaurant   facility   and   has  a  financial   condition   and
creditworthiness sufficient to meet the financial obligations  of
Tenant  under  this  Lease.  With respect  to  an  assignment  or
subletting   for  which  Landlord's  consent  is  required,   the
following provisions shall apply:

          (i)  there shall be submitted to Landlord current financial
          information and information regarding the business reputation
          and experience regarding the proposed assignee/sublessee;

(ii) the business reputation and experience of the proposed
assignee or sublessee (or the principals or owners thereof) shall
meet or exceed generally acceptable commercial standards for like
properties;
(iii)     in the case of an assignment, the proposed assignee
shall agree in writing to assume and abide by all terms and
provisions of this Lease from and after the date of such
assignment; and
(iv) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

     Landlord  agrees  to respond within twenty (20)  days  after
receipt  of  Tenant's  written  request  for  Landlord's  consent
(together   with  the  information  specified  above  and   other
information  reasonably  requested by  Landlord)  to  a  proposed
assignment  or sublet and submission of the financial information
and  business  qualifications of the proposed  assignee/sublessee
pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above.  Any disapproval shall be
explained  in writing.  If Landlord fails to respond  or  explain
its disapproval by the expiration of said twenty (20) day period,
Tenant  may  give  to  Landlord a reminder  notice  stating  that
Landlord's failure to respond within ten (10) days after  receipt
of  such reminder notice shall be deemed to constitute Landlord's
approval  of  the transaction in question, and if Landlord  shall
fail  to respond or explain its disapproval within ten (10)  days
after  receipt of such reminder notice, the transaction which  is
the  subject  of  Tenant's  notice to Landlord  shall  be  deemed
approved.   Consent by Landlord to any assignment  or  subletting
shall  not  waive  the necessity for consent  to  any  subsequent
assignment or subletting for which Landlord's consent is required
by this Section.

     13.2.      Permitted Transfer.  Tenant shall have the right,
without any cost, fee or payment to Landlord (other than  as  set
forth  in  Section  13.4 below), to sublet  any  portion  of  the
Premises,  or  to transfer and assign Tenant's right,  title  and
interest in this Lease, without Landlord's prior written consent,
to  the  following  persons and entities in the following  events
(each,   a   "Permitted  Transfer"):   (i)   to   Franchisor   or
Franchisor's  affiliate; (ii) to another licensed  franchisee  of
Franchisor; (iii) to a parent, subsidiary, affiliate or  division
of  Tenant,  Apple American Group LLC ("AAG") or their respective
investors;   (iv)  to  any  entity  that  acquires,  by   merger,
consolidation  or  otherwise, all or  substantially  all  of  the
ownership  interests in and control of, Tenant or  AAG  (provided
that  no  Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing)
or  of  Franchisor;  or (v) to any entity that  acquires  all  or
substantially  all of Tenant's assets (excluding the  Distinctive
Property)  or  AAG's assets (provided that no  Event  of  Default
shall  have  occurred and be continuing).  A direct  or  indirect
transfer  of  all or any interest in AAG shall not  be  deemed  a
sale,  encumbrance, assignment or transfer of this Lease  or  any
interest herein.  A direct or indirect transfer by AAG of all  or
any  interest  in Tenant shall not be deemed a sale, encumbrance,
assignment  or  transfer of this Lease or any  interest  therein;
provided, that the transferee is a party to whom, if the lessee's
interest  in  this  Lease were transferred to  such  party,  such
transfer would constitute a Permitted Transfer.  For purposes  of
this Section 13.2, references to Tenant, Franchisor and AAG shall
be deemed to include their respective successors and assigns.

13.3.     General Provisions.  In the case of any sublease or
assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall submit an executed copy of
the sublease or assignment instrument to Landlord.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be provided in
this Lease, (a) the Tenant making any assignment or sublease
shall not be released from any liability under this Lease as a
result of any assignment or sublease made pursuant to Section
13.1, and (b) the Tenant assigning all of its right, title and
interest under this Lease (and any predecessor Tenant that has
not theretofore been released) shall be released from all future
liability under this Lease in connection with any assignment of
all of such assigning Tenant's right, title and interest in this
Lease described in subsections (i), (ii), (iv) and (v) of Section
13.2, provided that (i) the assignee of an assignment or transfer
described in subsections (i), (ii), and (v) of Section 13.2
assumes all obligations under this Lease pursuant to an
assignment and assumption agreement in the form attached as
Schedule 1 to the Guaranty attached as Exhibit D hereto, and
(ii) if the Tenant making the assignment is not the originally
named Tenant hereunder, such assigning Tenant (and any
predecessor Tenant that has not theretofore been released) shall
not be released in the case of an assignment or transfer of such
assigning Tenant's right, title and interest in this Lease to
(X) any entity that acquires, by merger, consolidation or
otherwise, all or substantially all of the ownership interests in
and control of, such assigning Tenant pursuant to subsection (iv)
of Section 13.2 above other than with respect to Franchisor or
Franchisor's affiliate, or  (Y) any entity that acquires all or
substantially all of such assigning Tenant's assets pursuant to
subsection (v) of Section 13.2 above, unless the assignee or
transferor will directly or indirectly hold, after giving effect
to such assignment or transfer, all or substantially all of the
assets of the originally named Tenant hereunder.  Landlord shall
not be entitled to any consideration in connection with any
assignment or sublet.  Unless expressly released pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 13.3, a Tenant which assigns,
subleases or otherwise transfers its interest in this Lease or
the Premises shall remain fully liable for all of the
obligations, duties and liabilities of the Tenant under this
Lease following any such assignment, sublease or other transfer.

13.4.     Costs and Fees.  Tenant shall not be obligated to
reimburse Landlord for any cost, fee or payment incurred by
Landlord or Landlord's Lender in connection with any requests for
approval of an assignment of this Lease or any sublease of the
Premises other than reasonable costs and expenses incurred by
Landlord and Landlord Lender (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements); provided, however,
that if the assigning Tenant is Franchisor, a Franchisor
affiliate or an authorized franchisee of Franchisor (other than
the originally named Tenant hereunder), no such cost, fee or
payment shall be due or payable by such entity.

                      14.  INDEMNIFICATION

     14.1.     Indemnification of Landlord.

          (i)  TENANT AGREES TO DEFEND, PAY, PROTECT, INDEMNIFY, SAVE AND

          COOPERATE AND ASSIST IN THE DEFENSE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING
          IF REASONABLY REQUESTED SO TO DO BY TENANT.

(ii) The obligations of Tenant under this Section 14.1 shall

(ii) The obligations of Landlord under this Section 14.2 shall
survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

                     15.  DEFAULT; REMEDIES

     15.1.      Default  By Tenant.  Each of the following  shall
constitute an Event of Default (herein so called) by Tenant under
this Lease:

          (i)  Tenant fails to pay any installment of Base Rent in full
          under this Lease within five (5) days after notice from Landlord
          that such payment was not received when due;

(ii) Tenant fails to pay any installment of Additional Rent in
full under this Lease within ten (10) days after notice from
Landlord that such payment was not received when due;
(iii)     Tenant fails to observe or perform any other provision
of this Lease required to be observed or performed by Tenant and
does not cure such failure within thirty (30) days after notice
thereof from Landlord; provided, that if such default is not
capable of being cured within thirty (30) days and Tenant
promptly commences such cure, said thirty (30) day period shall
be extended so long as Tenant diligently and continuously pursues
such cure;
(iv) Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this
Lease (a "Guarantor") makes a general assignment for the benefit
of creditors;
(v)  A receiver or trustee of Tenant or any Guarantor or any of
their respective assets is appointed by entry of an order by a
court of competent jurisdiction and the same is not vacated,
discharged or dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter;
(vi) A petition for relief is filed by Tenant or any Guarantor
under any bankruptcy or insolvency law seeking a plan of
reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to
bankruptcy, or any such petition is filed against Tenant or any
Guarantor and same is not dismissed, discharged or vacated within
sixty (60) days thereafter;
(vii)     The interest of Tenant in the Premises is sold under
execution or other legal process;
(viii)    Tenant fails to maintain any insurance required under
Section 12.1 of this Lease within five (5) days after notice from
Landlord of such failure; or
(ix) Tenant assigns this Lease or subleases any portion of the
Premises in violation of Section 13 of this Lease.

     15.2.     Landlord's Remedies.

          (a)   Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default  under
     Section  15.1, Landlord shall have the following rights  and
     remedies, subject to the rights of Franchisor or Tenant Lender
     under the provisions of Section 15.3 and Section 20.2:

         (i)  To terminate this Lease and Tenant's right of possession of
          the Premises by giving notice of such election to Tenant, in
          which event (A) Tenant shall immediately surrender possession
          thereof to Landlord, failing which Landlord may re-enter and take
          possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any
          other occupant(s) thereof in accordance with applicable law
          ("Reentry"), and (B) Tenant shall have no further claim thereon
          or hereunder;

(ii) To terminate Tenant's right of possession of the Premises
without terminating this Lease by giving notice of such election
to Tenant, in which event (A) Tenant shall immediately surrender
possession thereof to Landlord, failing which Landlord may
exercise the right of Reentry, and (B) Landlord shall have the
right to occupy the Premises for and on account of Tenant and to
collect any unpaid rentals and other charges which have or may
thereafter become due and payable;
(iii)     To exercise the rights described in clause (ii) above
and thereafter elect to terminate this Lease and all of Tenant's
rights in or to the Premises by giving notice of such election to
Tenant; or
(iv) To exercise any other right or remedy now or hereafter
existing by law or in equity.

          (b)  If Landlord reenters the Premises under clause (a)(ii)
     above,  such reentry or any action, in unlawful detainer  or
     otherwise, to obtain possession of the Premises shall not be
     deemed to be an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease, or
     Tenant's  liability to pay rent or other charges  thereafter
     accruing, or Tenant's liability for damages under any provisions
     hereof, unless Landlord elects to terminate this Lease by written
     notice to that effect given to Tenant.  Tenant covenants that the
     service  by Landlord of any notice pursuant to the  unlawful
     detainer statutes of the State in which the Premises is located
     and the surrender of possession pursuant to such notice shall not
     be deemed to be a termination of this Lease, unless Landlord
     elects to the contrary by written notice to that effect given to
     Tenant at the time of or after the service of any such statutory
     notice.  If Landlord reenters or takes possession of the Premises
     as  aforesaid, Landlord shall have the right, subject to the
     provisions of this Lease, including without limitation,  the
     provisions of Section 16.2, to remove therefrom all or any part
     of the personal property located therein and may dispose of or
     place the same in storage at a public warehouse at the expense
     and risk of Tenant; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be
     obligated to remove and/or dispose of any such personal property.

(c)  If Landlord elects to reenter the Premises under clause
(a)(ii) above and takes possession of the Premises, Landlord may,
but except to the extent required by applicable law or court
order, shall not be obligated to, relet the Premises for a term,
rate and upon such other provisions as Landlord deems
appropriate.  If Landlord so reenters and takes possession of the
Premises, Landlord may decorate, repair and alter the Premises to
the extent Landlord deems appropriate for purposes of such
reletting.  If Landlord is unable to so relet the Premises, then
Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly on the first day of each
month during the period that Tenant's right to possession is
terminated, a sum equal to the Rent due under this Lease for that
month.  If the Premises are relet, Landlord shall apply the rents
therefrom first to payment of Landlord's expenses incurred by
reason of Tenant's default, second, to payment of Landlord's
expenses of reletting, including without limitation, brokerage
fees and reasonable attorneys' fees, and third, to payment of
Rent due from Tenant under this Lease.  All sums expended and
concessions granted to any new tenant shall be amortized on a
straight -line basis over the term of the new lease and Tenant's
liability therefor shall be limited to that portion attributable
to the unexpired term of this Lease.  If the sums received from
such reletting are insufficient to satisfy the payment of Rent
due from Tenant under this Lease for any month, Tenant shall
remain liable for the deficiency.  If the sums received from such
reletting exceed the Rent otherwise due from Tenant for any
month, Tenant shall have no rights thereto except that such
excess amounts shall be applied against Rent subsequently due
under this Lease.  No such reletting by Landlord shall be
considered to be (A) for Landlord's own account unless and until
Landlord notifies Tenant that this Lease has been terminated, and
(B) an acceptance of Tenant's surrender of the Premises unless
and until Landlord so notifies Tenant.
(d)  In the event of any termination of this Lease or
repossession of any of the Premises after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Base Rent,
Additional Rent and all other sums required to be paid by Tenant
to and including the date of such termination or repossession
and, thereafter, Tenant shall, until the end of what would have
been the Term in the absence of such termination or repossession,
and whether or not any of the Premises shall have been relet, be
liable to Landlord for and shall pay to Landlord as liquidated
and agreed current damages:  (i) Base Rent, Additional Rent and
all other sums which would be payable under this Lease by Tenant
in the absence of such termination or repossession, less (ii) the
net proceeds, if any, of any reletting pursuant to
Section 15.2(c), after deducting from such proceeds all of
Landlord's reasonable expenses in connection with such reletting
(including without limitation, all reasonable repossession costs,
brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys' fees, costs of
Alteration and expenses of preparation for reletting).  Tenant
hereby agrees to be and remain liable for all sums aforesaid and
Landlord may recover such damages from Tenant and institute and
maintain successive actions or legal proceedings against Tenant
for the recovery of such damages.  Nothing herein contained shall
be deemed to require Landlord to wait to begin such action or
other legal proceedings until the date when the Term would have
expired had there been no such Event of Default.
(e)  At any time after such termination of this Lease pursuant to
Section 15.2(a)(i) or pursuant to law, whether or not Landlord
shall have recovered any amounts under Section 15.2(c) or
15.2(d), Landlord, at its option, shall be entitled to recover
from Tenant and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, as and
for liquidated and agreed final damages for Tenant's default,
(i) the amount by which the Base Rent and all Additional Rent
reserved hereunder for the unexpired portion of the Term demised
herein as if the Lease had not expired or been terminated exceeds
the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises for the
same period, discounted to present worth at the prime rate (as
defined in Section 24.6), minus any such monthly deficiencies
previously recovered from Tenant for such unexpired portion of
the Term demised herein under Section 15.2(c), plus (ii) all
reasonable legal fees and other costs and expenses incurred by
Landlord as a result of Tenant's default under this Lease and the
exercise of any rights and remedies hereunder.
(f)  If any statute or rule of law governing a proceeding in
which such liquidated final damages provided for in
Section 15.2(e) are to be proved shall validly limit the amount
thereof to an amount less than the amount above agreed upon,
Landlord shall be entitled to the maximum amount allowable under
such statute or rule of law.
(g)  Mention in this Lease of any particular remedy shall not
preclude Landlord from any other remedy at law or in equity.  No
right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Landlord in this
Lease is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy;
and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in
addition to any other right or remedy contained in this Lease.
No delay or failure by Landlord or Tenant to enforce its rights
under this Lease shall be construed as a waiver, modification or
relinquishment thereof.  Tenant waives any rights of redemption
granted by any laws if Tenant is evicted or dispossessed, or if
Landlord obtains possession of the Premises by reason of the
violation by Tenant of any of the terms of this Lease.

     15.3.     Franchisor Rights.

          (a)  Landlord agrees to send a copy of any notice of default
     required or permitted to be given to Tenant under this Lease
     simultaneously to Franchisor at the last address for Franchisor
     furnished to Landlord by Franchisor in writing; provided, that
     the failure to send such notice shall not limit Tenant's default
     or Landlord's remedies with respect thereto, or make Landlord
     liable for any damages. If Franchisor has received timely notice
     of such default, (provided, that the failure to send such notice
     shall not limit Tenant's default or Landlord's remedies with
     respect thereto or impose any liability upon Landlord therefor),
     Landlord agrees and consents to the curing of any default of
     Tenant hereunder by Franchisor, provided that such cure is made
     by  Franchisor within the time set forth in Section 15.1 for
     Tenant's cure (provided, that Franchisor shall have an additional
     fifteen (15) days to cure a default under Sections 15.1(i) and
     (ii), so long as Franchisor notifies Landlord within the cure
     periods set forth in such Sections that Franchisor will cure such
     defaults).  If Franchisor elects to cure any Tenant  default
     hereunder,  Franchisor shall give notice to that  effect  to
     Landlord and Tenant simultaneously with such cure.

(b)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, if
an Event of Default has occurred (including the expiration of any
applicable cure period), Landlord agrees to give notice thereof
to Franchisor ("Termination Notice") and Landlord will not
terminate the Lease (as permitted hereunder) on account of such
Event of Default for a period of thirty (30) days, during which
time Franchisor shall have the right to lease the Premises upon
the same terms and conditions as this Lease, such election to be
made by notice to that effect ("Franchisor Notice") from
Franchisor to Landlord prior to the end of said 30-day period.
If Franchisor exercises such right by giving the Franchisor
Notice to Landlord by the time and in the manner set forth in the
immediately preceding sentence, then (i) Franchisor and Landlord
shall promptly execute and deliver a written instrument to that
effect; (ii) Franchisor shall become the tenant under this Lease
with all of the rights and obligations of tenant commencing upon,
first accruing and effective only from and after the date of the
Franchisor Notice; provided, that Tenant shall not dispute such
action by Franchisor and shall acknowledge its approval of such
action by Franchisor; (iii) Franchisor shall have no liability,
responsibility or obligation to pay or otherwise cure any default
of Tenant existing prior the effective date of exercise by
Franchisor of its rights in this subsection; provided, that if
Franchisor has received notice from Landlord of any Event of
Default of Tenant under Sections 15.1(i) or (ii), Franchisor
shall pay any Rent due and payable by Tenant accruing after the
date Franchisor receives notice of any such Event of Default; and
(iv) nothing contained herein shall restrict, limit, terminate,
waive or otherwise affect Landlord's rights against Tenant or any
guarantor on account of Tenant's default.  If Franchisor fails to
exercise such right on or before the expiration of said thirty
(30) day period, Landlord may pursue any rights and remedies that
it may have against Tenant on account of Tenant's Event of
Default hereunder.  Nothing contained in this Section shall be
deemed to obligate Franchisor to assume this Lease, to become the
tenant hereunder or to take possession of the Premises.
(c)  In the event that Franchisor becomes the tenant under this
Lease pursuant to the provisions of subsection (b) or an
assignment under Section 13.2 above, Franchisor shall have the
right at any time thereafter upon prior notice to, but without
the prior consent of Landlord, to assign this Lease and all of
its right, title and interest as Tenant hereunder to an
authorized franchisee of Franchisor.  In the event of such an
assignment, Franchisor shall be released from all liabilities and
obligations of Tenant first accruing from and after the effective
date of said assignment provided that such assignee franchisee
assumes in writing the obligations of Tenant under this Lease and
a copy thereof is furnished to Landlord.

                   16.  SURRENDER OF PREMISES

     16.1.     Condition.  Upon the expiration or earlier termination
of  this Lease or the termination of Tenant's right of possession
of  the  Premises  only, Tenant shall surrender the  Premises  to
Landlord in a clean, safe, good and tenantable condition, free of
debris  and  with all "grease traps" and similar devices  cleaned
and  in  good working condition, ordinary wear and tear  and,  if
this  Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 11.4(b), damage  by
Casualty  excepted.  All building apparatus and equipment  (other
than  Tenant's  Property) then located on the  Premises  and  all
Alterations  and other improvements to the Premises  made  during
the  Term,  whether  by Tenant or others,  shall  remain  on  the
Premises  and  shall be considered part of the Premises.   Tenant
shall  deliver  all keys therefor to Landlord at the  place  then
fixed  for  the payment of Rent and shall make known to  Landlord
the  combination for all locks on safes, cabinets and  vaults  in
the Premises.

16.2.     Removal of Tenant's Property.  Upon the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease or the termination of Tenant's
right of possession of the Premises only, Tenant shall have the
right, at its sole cost and expense, for a period of fifteen (15)
days thereafter to remove Tenant's Property, Distinctive Property
and the Financed Personalty, respectively, from the Premises,
provided that Tenant shall pay to Landlord Rent due under Article
3 hereof for the actual number of days which elapse during such
fifteen (15) day period until the Tenant's Property, Distinctive
Property and the Financed Personalty, as applicable, are removed
from the Premises.  If and to the extent that Tenant fails to
remove any of such property by the expiration of said fifteen
(15) day period, Landlord agrees that Tenant Lender, TE Lender
and Franchisor each shall have the right for a period of forty
(45) days thereafter to remove the same from the Premises,
provided, that Tenant shall pay to Landlord Rent due hereunder
for the actual number of days which elapse until Tenant Lender,
TE Lender or Franchisor remove the same from the Premises during
such forty five (45) day period.  If and to the extent that any
such property remains on the Premises on the sixtieth (60th) day
after such termination, the same shall be deemed abandoned, and
at Landlord's option shall become the property of Landlord and
may be sold or disposed of as Landlord may determine; provided,
however, that Landlord shall not use, suffer or permit the use of
any Distinctive Property unless the attributes or features
thereof associated with Tenant or Franchisor are removed or
obliterated.  Any and all damage to the Building caused by or
resulting from the removal of Tenant's Property, Distinctive
Property or Financed Personalty shall promptly be repaired at no
cost or expense to Landlord and Tenant shall be liable for such
cost and expense unless such repairs are made by Tenant,
Franchisor or TE Lender, as the case may be.

                17.  SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT

     17.1.     Subordination.  This Lease and the rights of Tenant
hereunder  are expressly subject and subordinate to the  lien  of
any  mortgage or deed of trust constituting a lien on  Landlord's
fee  interest  in  the  Premises ("Landlord  Mortgage")  and  any
renewals,    extensions,   modifications,   consolidations    and
replacements thereof, which now or hereafter affect  all  or  any
portion  of  the  Premises (except to the extent  that  any  such
instrument expressly provides that this Lease is superior to it);
provided  that  the  holder of the Landlord  Mortgage  ("Landlord
Lender") agrees in writing not to disturb Tenant, Tenant's  right
to  possession and use of the Premises and Tenant's rights  under
this  Lease  so  long as there shall be no Event  of  Default  on
behalf  of Tenant hereunder. Tenant agrees to execute and deliver
to  Landlord and any Landlord Lender at any time and from time to
time  all  such  documents reasonably requested  by  Landlord  or
Landlord's Lender, which are reasonably acceptable to Tenant  and
Tenant's   Lender,  to  confirm  or  effect  such   subordination
including, without limitation, an SNDA substantially in the  form
attached  as Exhibit E, together with such changes as Lender  may
reasonably require; provided that such Landlord Lender agrees  to
recognize  this Lease and the rights of Tenant set  forth  herein
for  so  long as there shall be no Event of Default on behalf  of
Tenant hereunder.  Notwithstanding any foreclosure or sale  under
any Landlord Mortgage (or transfer by deed in lieu thereof), this
Lease  shall  remain in full force and effect in accordance  with
its terms.  Landlord and any Landlord Lender shall execute within
ten (10) days after request any documentation reasonably required
by   any  TE  Lender  or  Tenant  Lender,  which  are  reasonably
acceptable  to Landlord and any Landlord Lender, to  confirm  the
priority   of  such  lender's  interests.   Notwithstanding   the
provisions  of  this  Section 17.1, the holder  of  any  Landlord
Mortgage  to  which  this Lease is subject and subordinate  shall
have  the  right, at its sole option, at any time, to subordinate
and  subject the Landlord Mortgage, in whole or in part, to  this
Lease  by  recording  a unilateral declaration  to  such  effect.
Tenant hereby agrees that any Landlord Lender shall not be  bound
to  the  terms of any material modification or amendment of  this
Lease  entered  into  after the date of such  Landlord  Mortgage,
unless  such  Landlord  Lender has  consented  to  such  material
modification or amendment.  Tenant hereby agrees that  after  the
date  of such Landlord Mortgage, Tenant shall not pay to Landlord
any  installment of Base Rent more than one (1) month in  advance
of  the due date thereof, unless Landlord Lender shall consent to
such prepayment.

     17.2.     Attornment.  In the event of the foreclosure of any
Landlord  Mortgage  by voluntary agreement or otherwise,  or  the
commencement  of  any judicial action seeking  such  foreclosure,
Tenant will become the tenant of and attorn to and recognize such
Landlord  Lender or purchaser in foreclosure as Tenant's landlord
under  this Lease without change in the provisions of this Lease.
Upon  request by such successor in interest, Tenant will  execute
and  deliver an instrument confirming such attornment, which will
recognize  this Lease and the rights of Tenant set  forth  herein
and  shall  provide  that such successor  in  interest  will  not
disturb Tenant in its use of the Premises in accordance with this
Lease  unless  there is an Event of Default continuing  hereunder
and such successor in interest would be entitled to exercise such
remedy under Section 15.2 hereof.

                   18.  ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

  18.1.  Estoppel Certificates.  Within fifteen (15) days after
written request from Landlord or Tenant to the other, such  other
party shall execute and deliver an estoppel certificate signed by
an  officer  of such party and certifying: the Commencement  Date
and  expiration date of the Term; the date to which Rent has been
paid;  the amount of Rent then being paid; that this Lease is  in
full  force  and  effect and has not been  modified,  amended  or
assigned   (or,   if  modified,  stating  the  nature   of   such
modification  and certifying that this Lease, as so modified,  is
in  full force and effect); that to such party's knowledge  there
are  no defaults by the other party under this Lease, nor to such
party's knowledge any existing condition upon which the giving of
notice  or lapse of time or both would constitute a default  (or,
if  such exist, stating the nature thereof); that such party  has
received  no notice from any insurance company of any defects  or
inadequacies of the Premises; that such party has no  options  or
rights  other  than as set forth in this Lease;  and  such  other
factual  matters as the requesting party may reasonably  request.
Failure  to deliver such statement within said fifteen  (15)  day
period shall be conclusive upon the party to whom the request was
directed  that  this Lease is in full force and  effect,  without
modification except as may be represented by the requesting party
in  the  draft estoppel presented, that to such party's knowledge
there   are  no  uncured  defaults  in  the  requesting   party's
performance, and that all other statements required to be made in
the estoppel letter are conclusively made.

                          19.  NOTICES

 19.1.  Notices.  All notices required or permitted to be given
under this Lease shall be in writing and shall be deemed given on
the  date  when  personally delivered or, if  earlier,  the  next
business day if sent by recognized overnight air courier, or  two
(2)  business days (or, if earlier, when actually received) after
being  deposited  in  the  United States Mail,  postage  prepaid,
properly addressed, certified mail, return receipt requested,  as

thereof pursuant to this Lease ("Addressee") at any time and from
time to time may change its address for notice purposes by giving

address is to become effective.

                    20.  LEASEHOLD FINANCING

     20.1.     Leasehold Financing.  Tenant shall have the right at
any  time  and from time to time during the Term with notice  to,
but  without  the  consent or approval of Landlord,  to  grant  a
mortgage  or  other security interest ("Leasehold  Mortgage")  in
Tenant's  interest  in this Lease (the leasehold  estate  created
hereby),  and  all of Tenant's Property, all upon  the  condition
that  all rights acquired under any such Leasehold Mortgage shall
be  subject  to each and all of the covenants, conditions,  terms
and  restrictions  set  forth  in  this  Lease.  Tenant  Lender's
foreclosure  on  the Leasehold Mortgage shall not terminate  this
Lease  or  affect  any  of the covenants, conditions,  terms  and
restrictions set forth in this Lease as obligations of Tenant.

20.2.     Tenant Lender.  If Landlord is provided written notice
of a Leasehold Mortgage and the name and address for notice of
the holder of a Leasehold Mortgage (the "Tenant Lender"), then
the rights of such Tenant Lender shall include the following,
which shall be binding on Landlord (and any Landlord Lender).
Upon recordation of the Leasehold Mortgage and for so long
thereafter as the Leasehold Mortgage remains unsatisfied:
(i) Landlord agrees to deliver a copy of any notice of default
given to Tenant under this Lease simultaneously to Tenant Lender
at its last address furnished to Landlord in writing; provided,
that the failure to send such notice shall not limit Tenant's
default or Landlord's remedies against Tenant with respect
thereto (other than such remedies as would prevent the exercise
of Tenant Lender's rights under this Section 20.2), or impose any
liability upon Landlord for any damages therefrom; (ii) Landlord
agrees that Tenant Lender shall have the right, but shall not be
obligated, to cure any default of Tenant hereunder, provided that
such cure is made by Tenant Lender within the time provided to
Tenant pursuant to Section 15.1 (provided, that such Tenant
Lender shall have an additional fifteen (15) days to cure a
default under Sections 15.1(i) and 15.1(ii), so long as Tenant
Lender notifies Landlord within the cure periods set forth in
such Sections that it will cure such defaults); (iii) if Tenant
Lender elects to cure any default of Tenant hereunder, (A) Tenant
Lender shall give notice to that effect to Landlord and Tenant
simultaneously with such cure, and (B) Landlord consents to and
shall accept such cure with the same force and effect as if made
by Tenant; (iv) Landlord and Tenant each agree not to cancel or
surrender this Lease (other than due to a default by a party
which was not cured within the applicable cure period after
notice was given to Tenant and Tenant Lender) or amend the
provisions of this Lease without the prior written consent of
Tenant Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed; and (v) if Landlord terminates the Lease due to an
Event of Default which Tenant Lender is unable to cure (e.g.,
Tenant bankruptcy), and Tenant Lender elects by written notice to
Landlord within forty-five (45) days thereafter to continue this
Lease, Landlord agrees to enter into a new lease with Tenant
Lender on the same terms and conditions as set forth in this
Lease for the balance of the original Term, including any
remaining extension options, provided, that the Tenant Lender
shall pay to Landlord at the time of the execution and delivery
of the new lease all sums which would at the time of the
execution and delivery of the new lease be due pursuant to this
Lease but for such termination, and shall agree in writing to
cure and shall cure all other defaults of Tenant capable of being
cured by Tenant Lender then existing under this Lease within a
reasonable period of time after entering into such new Lease.
Landlord agrees promptly to execute and deliver such documents as
Tenant Lender reasonably may request which are reasonably
acceptable to Landlord and any Landlord Lender to evidence the
provisions of this Section 20.2, including the Landlord Agreement
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

                   21.  RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

     21.1.     Right of First Refusal to Purchase.

          (a)   If at any time after the first anniversary of the
     Commencement Date Landlord shall receive a bona fide written
     offer to purchase the Premises from a third party which is not
     affiliated with Landlord, which offer Landlord is willing to
     accept ("Outside Contract"), Landlord shall give written notice
     ("Sale Notice") thereof, together with a copy of such Outside
     Contract, to Tenant.  Tenant shall have a right of first refusal
     ("Refusal Right") to purchase the Premises that is the subject of
     the Outside Contract in accordance with the terms and provisions
     thereof.  If Tenant desires to exercise the Refusal Right, Tenant
     shall deliver written notice to that effect to Landlord within
     twenty  (20) days after receipt of the Sale Notice ("Refusal
     Period").  If Tenant exercises the Refusal Right by the time and
     in the manner set forth in this subsection, Landlord and Tenant
     shall  promptly execute a contract which includes  the  same
     material terms and conditions as the Outside Contract ("Sale
     Contract") and Tenant shall deposit when due any earnest money
     deposit required thereunder.  If Tenant does not execute a Sale
     Contract within fifteen (15) days after Tenant's receipt of such
     Sale Contract from Landlord, signed on behalf of Landlord, or if
     Tenant defaults in its obligations under such Sale Contract, then
     Landlord shall be free to consummate the sale pursuant to the
     Outside Contract (or another contract on substantially similar
     terms and conditions).

(b)  If Tenant does not exercise the Refusal Right by the time
and in the manner set forth in subsection (a) above, then (i) the
Refusal Right shall remain in full force and effect, but not with
respect to the proposed sale pursuant to the Outside Contract,
and (ii) Landlord shall be free to consummate the sale pursuant
to the Outside Contract.  If within one hundred eighty (180) days
after the expiration of the Refusal Period Landlord does not
consummate the sale pursuant to the Outside Contract, the Refusal
Right shall again be applicable, and Landlord shall not
thereafter sell the Premises pursuant to the Outside Contract
without first offering Tenant the Refusal Right pursuant to this
Section 21.1.
(c)  The rights granted to Tenant under this Section 21 shall not
survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
(d)  The provisions of this Section 21 shall not apply and Tenant
shall not have any Refusal Right (i) with respect to the sale,
conveyance, assignment or other transfer (A) to any person
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Landlord
or any of its direct or indirect owners, (B) by gift, descent or
devise, or (C) to any sale (or conveyance in lieu thereof) by
foreclosure or enforcement of a lien or security interest, or
(ii) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.  Any conveyance of the Premises to Tenant pursuant to
this Section 21 shall be "as-is" with respect to the physical
condition of the Premises.

                  22.  [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

23.  GUARANTY

     23.1.     Simultaneously with the execution of this Lease, Tenant
shall  cause to be delivered to Landlord a guaranty in  the  form
attached hereto as Exhibit D (the "Guaranty"), pursuant to  which
AAG shall guaranty Tenant's obligations hereunder.

                       24.  MISCELLANEOUS

     24.1.     Landlord's Interests.

          (a)  The term "Landlord" as used herein shall mean only the owner
     or  owners, at the time in question, of the fee title to the
     Premises.  In the event of an assignment or transfer of this
     Lease by Landlord for other than security purposes, Landlord
     shall cause its assignee or transferee to assume the provisions
     of  this  Lease  and Landlord shall deliver notice  of  such
     assignment or transfer and a copy of the effective instrument of
     transfer to Tenant.  Tenant shall be entitled to continue to pay
     rent and give all notices to Landlord until Tenant has received
     the  foregoing from Landlord.  From and after a sale of  the
     Premises, Landlord shall be released from all liability toward
     Tenant arising from this Lease because of any act, occurrence or
     omission of Landlord's successors occurring after the transfer of
     Landlord's interest in this Lease, provided Landlord's purchaser
     or assignee expressly assumes Landlord's duties and covenants
     under this Lease.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve
     Landlord of any liability for its acts, omissions or obligations
     occurring or accruing up to and including the date  of  such
     transfer.

(b)  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
any claim based on or in respect of any liability of Landlord
under this Lease shall be enforced only against Landlord's
interest in the Premises and shall not be enforced against
Landlord individually or personally.
(c)  Landlord shall have the right to sell, assign or transfer
its interest in the Premises without any prior notice to or
consent of Tenant, subject to compliance with the provisions of
Section 21 of this Lease, if applicable.

     24.2.     Severability.  If any provision of this Lease or the
application  thereof  to  any person  or  circumstance  shall  be
invalid  or unenforceable under applicable law, such event  shall
not  affect,  impair  or  render  invalid  or  unenforceable  the
remainder  or  any other provision of this Lease,  nor  shall  it
affect  the application of any provision of this Lease  to  other
persons or circumstances.

24.3.     Entire Agreement.  This Lease and the Exhibits attached
hereto set forth the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant
concerning the Premises and there is no other agreement, oral or
written, between them other than this Lease.  This Lease
supersedes and revokes all previous negotiations, arrangements,
letters of intent, offers to lease, lease proposals and
information conveyed, whether orally or in writing, between the
parties or their respective representatives.

24.4.     Time.  Time is of the essence of this Lease and the
performance of all obligations under this Lease.

24.5.     Binding Effect.  This Lease shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of Landlord, Tenant and their respective
successors and assigns.

24.6.     Default Rate.  All amounts owing to one party from the
other party under this Lease for which a date of payment is not
expressly fixed shall be paid within ten (10) days after the date
the party to whom such amount is payable delivers to the other
party appropriate statements of account.  As used in this Lease,
the words "Default Rate" shall mean interest at the rate of four
percent (4%) per annum in excess of the "prime rate" from time to
time announced in The Wall Street Journal or if such publication
ceases to publish a prime rate then as announced by a comparable
publication.  The Default Rate of interest shall be computed from
the date on which any payment is due from either party to the
other through and including the date paid.

24.7.     Force Majeure.  Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be
considered in default of any of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease on its part to be performed, if it fails
to timely perform same and such failure is due in whole or in
part to any strike, lockout, labor trouble (whether legal or
illegal), civil disorder, restrictive governmental laws and
regulations, riots, insurrections, war, accidents, casualties,
acts of God, acts caused directly or indirectly by the other
party hereto (or such party's agent, employees or invitees) or
any other cause beyond its control.  A party shall be entitled to
an extension of time equal to one (1) day for each day of delay
due to force majeure.  The foregoing shall not apply to, excuse
or be invoked to justify any delay in the payment of Rent or any
other sum of money due from one party payable to the other party.

24.8.     No Waiver.  No provision of this Lease shall be deemed
to have been waived by either party unless such waiver is in
writing signed by such party.

24.9.     Captions.  The captions and headings in this Lease are
inserted only as a matter of convenience and do not define,
limit, expand or describe the scope or intent of such provisions.
24.10.    Survival.  The following obligations of Landlord and
Tenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease:  (a) any obligation permitted in this Lease to be
performed after the end of the Term; (b) any obligation not
reasonably susceptible of performance prior to the end of the
Term; and (c) any other obligation expressly stated to survive

and tenant.

24.21.    Preparation and Signing of Lease.  This Lease has been
negotiated and reviewed by Landlord, Tenant and their respective
attorneys and/or professional advisors, all of whom intend and
believe this Lease to be the product of all of their joint
efforts, that it contains the entire agreement between Landlord
and Tenant and as such should not and shall not be interpreted or
construed in favor of or against either Landlord or Tenant merely
because of the efforts of one party or the other in preparing

conferred herein.  This Lease shall become effective only if and
when executed and delivered by both Landlord and Tenant.

to the other that it has not dealt with any real estate broker,

Tenant contained in this Lease is, and shall be construed to be,

of any covenant or agreement by Landlord shall not discharge or
relieve Tenant from its obligation to perform the same.

24.24.    Multiple Counterparts.  To facilitate execution, this
Lease may be executed in as many counterparts as may be
convenient or required.  It shall not be necessary that the
signature or acknowledgment of, or on behalf of, each party, or
that the signature of all persons required to bind any party, or
the acknowledgment of such party, appear on each counterpart.
All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single
instrument.  It shall not be necessary in making proof of this
Lease to produce or account for more than a single counterpart
containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, and the
respective acknowledgments of, each of the parties hereto.  Any
signature or acknowledgment page to any counterpart may be
detached from such counterpart without impairing the legal effect
of the signatures or acknowledgments thereon and thereafter
attached to another counterpart identical thereto except having
attached to it additional signature or acknowledgment pages.

24.25.    Business Days.  All references to "business days"
contained herein are references to normal working business days,

limited to".

24.27.    No Merger of Title.  There shall be no merger of this
Lease nor of the leasehold estate created by this Lease with the
fee estate in or ownership of any of the Premises by reason of
the fact that the same person, corporation, firm or other entity
may acquire or hold or own, directly or indirectly, (a) this
Lease or the leasehold estate created by this Lease or any
interest in this Lease or in such leasehold estate and (b) the
fee estate or ownership of any of the Premises or any interest in

and until all persons, corporations, firms and other entities
having any interest in (i) this Lease or the leasehold estate
created by this Lease and (ii) the fee estate in or ownership of
the Premises or any part thereof sought to be merged shall join
in a written instrument effecting such merger and shall duly
record the same.

Tenant will deliver or cause to be delivered to Landlord the

          The  annual  financial  statements  which  are  to   be
     delivered  as  provided above shall have been  prepared  and
     certified  by  an  independent certified public  accountant.
     All  other financial statements to be delivered pursuant  to
     this  Section  24.28 shall be un-audited  and  certified  to
     Landlord  to be reasonably true and correct by the  Tenant's
     controller  or  other  officer.   Landlord  shall  have  the
     right,   upon  reasonable  advance  notice,  to  meet   with
     appropriate  officers  of Tenant and AAG  to  discuss  their
     respective   affairs   and  finances   and   the   financial
     information delivered pursuant hereto.

     24.29.    Multiple Persons or Entities.  In the event that either
party  shall consist of more than one person or entity,  (i)  the
obligations of such multiple persons or entities shall  be  joint
and  several,  and  (ii)  the first  notice  with  respect  to  a
particular matter received by the other party from any one of the
multiple persons or entities shall be final and binding  on  both
parties,  unless  the  party with multiple  persons  or  entities
previously has designated one among them as the representative of
all,  in which event only a notice from such representative shall
be final and binding on both parties.
