TENANT will pay LANDLORD, as additional rent due hereunder, a sum equivalent to
such excess (the "percentage rental"). The percentage rental shall be determined
and payable on or before the ninetieth (90th) day following the close of each
rental year based on the gross sales made from the leased premises for each such
year. A statement signed by an officer of TENANT showing in reasonable detail
the amount of the gross sales during the preceding rental year shall accompany

TENANT shall prepare and keep at its principal offices until at least

its gross sales as herein defined disclosing the cash receipts, and such other
information as may be reasonably necessary to determine said gross sales,
including all such sales records which would normally be examined by an
independent accountant pursuant to accepted accounting standards if an audit of
TENANT'S sales were to be performed. Upon written request from LANDLORD, TENANT
shall furnish to LANDLORD any audit of sales made from the leased premises as

option and expense, acting alone or through

its duly authorized representatives, inspect TENANT'S record of sales made from
the leased premises at any time or from time to time, provided such inspection
covering a rental year is made within twelve (12) months following receipt of
TENANT'S statement for such rental year. Any claim by LANDLORD for revision of
any statement of sales or for additional percentage rental must be made in
writing to TENANT within fifteen (15) months after the receipt of TENANT'S
statement for such rental year for which additional rental is allegedly due. At
its option, LANDLORD, at any reasonable time, or from time to time, no more than
once during a rental year, may have made a complete audit of TENANT'S entire
sales record relating to the leased premises covering the then current and
immediately preceding rental year. If such audit shall disclose a deficiency in
percentage rental paid for any rental year to the extent of five percent (5%) or
more, TENANT shall promptly pay to LANDLORD the amount of such deficiency and,
in addition, unless such deficiency is the result of a non-willful error, TENANT
shall pay the cost of such audit. In the event such audit discloses a deficiency
for percentage rental of twenty percent (20%) or more in excess of rentals
thereto paid for such rental year, and if such deficiency is not the result of a
non-willful error, LANDLORD shall have an additional remedy, at its option, to
terminate this lease. LANDLORD shall hold in confidence all sales and other
information obtained from TENANT'S records.

credit refunds to customers on transactions otherwise included in gross sales;

fixtures or equipment installed by TENANT. Any such furnishings, fixtures and
equipment supplied and installed in the leased premises, except those

or partial destruction of or damage to the leased premises by fire or any other
cause during the term hereof, LANDLORD shall be obligated to and shall with due
diligence rebuild or restore the leased premises to a condition comparable to
that existing prior to the occurrence of said destruction or damage.
If in TENANT'S reasonable discretion any such destruction or damage to
the leased premises is such as to prevent the operation of TENANT'S business on
the leased premises, or to make it impractical so to do, then the rent, taxes
and any other charges to be paid by TENANT hereunder shall ▇▇▇▇▇ from the
occurrence of any destruction or damage up to and including the time that the
leased premises has been rebuilt or restored. The amount of such abatement is to

foot area of the building which is a part of the leased premises which is usable
in the operation of TENANT'S business on the leased premises following any
destruction or damage thereto and the denominator of which shall be the total
square foot area, inside dimensions, of such building. The amount of which
results from the multiplication of such fraction by all rent and taxes and all
other charges that would have been due from TENANT to LANDLORD hereunder but not
for the destruction or damage, shall be the amount payable by TENANT for the
period commencing with any destruction or damage and terminating with the
completion, by LANDLORD, of the aforesaid rebuilding or restoration.
In the event of the total destruction of the leased premises during the
last one (1) year of the term of this lease, LANDLORD shall not be obligated to
so rebuild and restore, and at the option of either LANDLORD or TENANT

10. CONDEMNATION:
a. Total: If the whole of the leased premises shall be

purpose or by private purchase in lieu thereof, then this lease and the term
hereof shall automatically cease and terminate as of the date of title vesting

proceeding. If any part of the leased premises shall be so taken and this lease
shall not be terminated, as aforesaid, then this lease and all of the terms and
provisions thereof shall continue in full force and effect, except that the
maximum guaranteed annual rent shall be reduced in the same proportion that the
gross leasable area of the leased premises taken bears to the original gross
leasable area leased and, LANDLORD shall, upon receipt of the award in
condemnation, make all necessary repairs and alterations (exclusive of TENANT'S
furnishings, fixtures, equipment and signs) to restore the portion of the leased

d. Award: All damages or compensation awarded or paid for any
such taking, whether for the whole or any part of the leased premises, shall
belong to and be the property of LANDLORD without any participation by TENANT;
provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude
TENANT from prosecuting any claim directly against the condemning authority, but
not against LANDLORD, for the value of or damages to and/or for the cost of
removal of movable trade fixtures and other personal property which under the
terms of this lease would remain TENANT'S property upon the expiration of the
term of this lease, as may be recoverable by TENANT in TENANT'S own right.

notice from LANDLORD; or
(ii) TENANT'S failure to perform any of the other
terms, conditions or covenants contained in this lease which has continued for
more than thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from LANDLORD; provided,
however, that if the nature of such default is such that it can not reasonably
be cured within said thirty (30) days, and work thereon has commenced within
said period and diligently prosecuted, no default shall have occurred; or
(iii) TENANT shall become bankrupt or insolvent, or
file any debtor proceedings, or take or have taken against TENANT in any court

LANDLORD_______________
TENANT ________________
21
resort to legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass, or becoming
liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby. If LANDLORD
should elect to re-enter as herein provided, or should it take possession
pursuant to legal proceedings, it may either terminate this lease or it may from
time to time without terminating this lease make such alterations and repairs as
may be necessary in order to relet the leased premises, and relet said leased
premises for such term and at such rentals and upon such other terms and
conditions as LANDLORD may deem advisable. In the event of such reletting, all
rentals received by LANDLORD shall be applied, first, to the payment of any
indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from TENANT to LANDLORD; second, to
the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting, including the expense
of alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of rent due and unpaid
hereunder, and the residue, if any, shall be held by LANDLORD and applied in
payment of any future rent due and unpaid hereunder. If such reletting shall
yield rentals insufficient for any month to pay the rent due by TENANT hereunder
for that month, TENANT shall be liable to LANDLORD for the deficiency and same
shall be paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of the leased
premises by LANDLORD shall be construed as an election to terminate this lease
unless a written notice of such intention be given by LANDLORD to TENANT at the
time of such re-entry. Notwithstanding any such re-entry and reletting without
termination, LANDLORD may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this lease
for such previous breach, in which event it may recover from TENANT damages
incurred by reason of such breach, including the cost of recovering the leased
premises and the difference in value between the rent reserved hereunder for the
remainder of the term and the fair market rental value of the leased premises
for the remainder of the term. In determining the rent which would be payable by
TENANT hereunder, subsequent to default, the annual rent for each year
LANDLORD_______________
TENANT ________________

from the commencement of the term to the date of default.

partners or beneficiaries, as the case may be, either directly or indirectly,
own or operate any such business within said _______ mile(s) radius.
