------------------------------------------------
"Real and Personal Property Taxes" means: (i) any fee, license fee, license tax,
business license fee, commercial rental tax, levy, charge, assessment, penalty
or tax imposed by any taxing authority against the Property or any personal
property therein or attributable to Tenant's use thereof; (ii) any tax on the
Landlord's right to receive, or the receipt of, rent or income from the Property

the case may be, to the Term of this Lease.
4.1.2 Payment of Real and Personal Property Taxes. Tenant
-------------------------------------------
shall pay to Landlord as additional Rent, no later than ten (10) days prior to
their due date (before the time of any penalty, interest or delinquency), the
Real and Personal Property Taxes that are due for that year, apportioned on a
monthly or daily basis (as the case may be) for such part of the year that is
included with the Term of this Lease. Tenant shall also pay all taxes charged

timely, Landlord shall thereafter during the Term of the Lease have the right to
collect the anticipated amount of such Taxes from Tenant in advance, payable
1/12 of the estimated amount each month together with Rent as additional Rent.
In such event, Tenant shall also pay any known deficiency in the final amount of
Real and Personal Property Taxes that are due and owing within 10 days after

and Personal Property Taxes collected.

Tenant, and Tenant shall pay such invoices directly to the appropriate utility
company before delinquency.
Section 4.3. Insurance Premiums: Tenant and Landlord shall
------------------
maintain the following insurance during the term of this Lease. Tenant's
insurance shall be primary coverage with Tenant as the primary party and
Landlord named as an additional insured.
4.3.1 Tenant's Insurance. Tenant shall maintain a policy
------------------
of comprehensive general liability including property damage and contractual
liability insurance insuring Tenant and Landlord for liability arising out of
Tenant's use, occupancy or maintenance of the Property. The policy shall have
limits of liability of no less than $2,000,000 single limit bodily injury and/or
property damage combined, for damages arising out of bodily injuries to or death
of all persons arising from one occurrence; and damage to or destruction of
property including loss thereof, arising
-4-
from one occurrence. The insurance may contain a deductible clause of not more
than $0.00 but Tenant shall be liable to the extent of the deductible amount.
The property portion of the policy, or a separate property damage policy in the
amount of $2,000,000, as the case may be, shall name Landlord as the loss payee
and shall provide protection of the Property against all risks, physical loss,
damages, and perils including fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious
mischief, theft, special extended perils, sprinkler leakage, earthquake and
Inflation Guard endorsement, and any other perils (except flood and earthquake,
unless required by any lender holding a security interest in the Property) which
Landlord deems necessary.
Tenant also agrees to procure and maintain the following policies: (1)
Workers' Compensation and Employer's Liability; (2) automobile insurance with
limits of not less than $1,000,000 bodily injury and property damage each
occurrence; and (3) Umbrella Liability Insurance of not less than $5,000,000 in
the aggregate.
Tenant shall name Landlord as an Additional Insured on the Comprehensive
General Liability, Property and Umbrella policies. Certificates of Insurance
and/or Policy Endorsements executed by Insurer indicating that Landlord is an
Additional Insured shall be furnished to Landlord prior to the commencement date
of this Lease.
All policies must be endorsed to provide that the Insurer shall give the
Landlord thirty (30) days' written notice prior to cancellation and/or
modification of any policy. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything
which invalidates any subsequent insurance policies. If Tenant fails to
maintain the policies, Landlord may elect to maintain such insurance at Tenant's
expense.
Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, maintain such primary or additional
insurance on its fixtures, equipment and building improvements as Tenant deems
necessary to protect its interest. Landlord may obtain insurance coverage for
Tenant's fixtures, equipment or building improvements installed by Tenant in the
Property. Landlord may also require that Tenant, at its expense and for the
benefit of Landlord, acquire a Landlord's protective liability endorsement with
respect to the Property.
4.3.2 Landlord's Insurance. Landlord shall maintain a policy of
--------------------
comprehensive public liability insurance insuring Landlord for liability arising
out of the conditions on the Property at the date of this Lease and Landlord's
ownership of the Property. The policy shall have limits of liability of no less
than $2,000,000 single limit bodily injury and/or property damage combined, for
damages arising out of bodily injuries to or death of all persons arising from
one occurrence; and damage to or destruction of property including loss thereof,
arising from one occurrence. The insurance may contain a deductible clause of
not more than $0.00 but Landlord shall be liable to the extent of the deductible
amount. Landlord also agrees to maintain excess coverage of not less than
$5,000,000.
-5-
Section 4.4. Multiple Tenant Buildings; Rules and Regulations:
------------------------------------------------
Not Applicable.
Section 4.5. Late Charges: Tenant's failure to pay rent promptly
------------
may cause Landlord to incur unanticipated costs. The exact amount of such costs
is impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs may include, but
are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may
be imposed on Landlord by any ground lease, mortgage or trust deed encumbering
the Property. Therefore, if Landlord does not receive any rent payment by its
allowed date, beginning with the second such incident in any calendar year,
Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the
overdue amount, payable with the next rental payment. The parties agree that
such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord
will incur by reason of such payment.
Section 4.6. Interest on Past Due Obligations: Any amount owed by
--------------------------------
Tenant to Landlord which is not paid by its allowed payment date, following
applicable notice and cure periods shall bear interest at the rate of two
percentage points over the "base rate" or "prime rate" per annum published from
time to time by the Wall Street Journal from the due date of such amount and
-------------------
shall be payable with the next rental payment. However, interest shall not be
payable on late charges to be paid by Tenant under this Lease. The payment of
interest on such amounts shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under
this Lease. If the interest rate specified in this Lease is higher than the
rate permitted by law, the interest rate is hereby decreased to the maximum
legal interest rate permitted by law.
ARTICLE 5: USE OF PROPERTY
Section 5.1. Permitted Uses: Tenant may use the Property only for
--------------
the Permitted Uses set forth in Section 1.7 above.
Section 5.2. Manner of Use: Tenant shall not cause or permit the
-------------
Property to be used in any way which constitutes a violation of any law,
ordinance, or governmental regulation or order, which annoys or interferes with
the rights of the Property of which the Property is part, or which constitutes a
nuisance or waste. Tenant shall obtain and pay for all permits required for
Tenant's occupancy of the Property and shall promptly take all substantial and
non-substantial actions necessary to comply with all applicable statutes,
ordinances, rules, regulations, orders and requirements regulating the use by
Tenant of the Property, including the occupational Safety and Health Act;
provided, however, that the cost of capital improvements required to comply with
governmental regulations applicable to the Property generally (and not as a
result of Tenant's use thereof) shall be amortized over the normal useful life
of such improvement and Tenant shall be responsible to pay,
-6-
monthly as additional Rent, the monthly portion of that amount allocated to the
remaining Term of this Lease.
Section 5.3. Contamination and Environmental Protection:
------------------------------------------
5.3.1 Definition of Hazardous Materials. "Hazardous
---------------------------------
Materials" means any hazardous or toxic substance, material or waste that is or

the United States Government, including without limitation, under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as
amended, 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act,

without limitation 40 C.F.R. 761 et seq. and regulations promulgated under the
occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, as amended.
5.3.2 Protection against Contamination. The nature of the
--------------------------------
product to be stored by Tenant within the Property may require periodic fogging
or spraying for pest and rodent control. Tenant agrees to take all steps
necessary to protect the Property, persons using or present on the Property and
other tenants and their property against any contamination or other adverse
effects from such fogging or spraying, or from the generation, transportation,
use, storage or disposal of any Hazardous Materials. Tenant agrees to generate,
transport, use, store and dispose all Hazardous Materials fully in compliance
with all applicable governmental laws and regulations and all recommendations of
the manufacturers and distributors of such Hazardous Materials. Tenant agrees
to generate and store Hazardous Materials at the Property only in amounts that
are incident to and necessary for the normal operation of Tenant as permitted by
this Lease, to deliver promptly to Landlord true and complete copies of all
notices received by Tenant from any governmental authority with respect to the
generation, transportation, use, storage and disposal of Hazardous Materials,
and to permit reasonable entry onto the Property by Landlord for verification of
Tenant's compliance with this paragraph. In the event of an incident or
occurrence that can cause contamination to the Property or other persons or
property intended to be protected by this Section 5.3, Tenant agrees immediately
to notify Landlord and to take such steps as may be necessary to contain such
contamination with a minimum of damage or adverse effect. Tenant agrees to
defend (with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord), indemnify and
hold Landlord and other tenants on the Property harmless against any and all
claims, losses, damages, costs (including, without limitation attorneys' fees,
clean-up expenses and environmental impairment expenses) and liabilities of
every kind and nature arising from or relating to the obligations of Tenant
under this Section 5.3 and the generation, transportation, storage, use or
disposal by Tenant, its successors, assigns, sublessees, invitees and guests of
Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall have no liability to Landlord for any claims,
losses, damages, costs or other liabilities of any kind or nature which do not
arise from the acts or omissions of Tenant, its
-7-
successors, assigns, sublessees, invitees and guests. Landlord agrees to defend
(with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Tenant), indemnify and hold Tenant
harmless against any and all claims, costs (including, without limitation
attorneys' fees, clean-up expenses and environmental impairment expenses) and
liabilities of every kind and nature suffered by Tenant and arising from or
relating to the generation, transportation, storage, use or disposal of
Hazardous Materials on the Property by Landlord or persons other than Tenant,
its successors, assigns, sublessees, invitees and guests.
Section 5.4 Signs and Auctions: Tenant shall not place any sign
------------------
on the Property without Landlord's prior written consent, which will not be
unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall not conduct or permit any auctions or
sheriff's sales in the Property.
Section 5.5. Tenant's Indemnification: Tenant shall indemnify

Landlord against and hold Landlord harmless from any and all costs, claims or
liability arising from tortious acts or omissions of Tenant, provided that such

Landlord's election, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any legal fees or costs
incurred by Landlord in connection with any such claim, on a periodic basis as

-----------------
the Property during regular business hours, or at other times with the consent
of Tenant which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, to show the Property

such entry, except in the case of an emergency. Landlord may place customary
"For Sale" or "For Lease" signs on the Property.

----------------
complies with all other terms of this Lease, Tenant may occupy and enjoy the
Property for the full Lease Term, subject to the provisions of this Lease.

Section 6.1. Existing Condition: Tenant accepts the Property in
------------------
its condition as of the execution of the Lease, subject to all recorded matters,
laws, ordinances, and governmental regulations and orders. Tenant acknowledges

intended use.
-8-
Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that the Property is zoned for
permitted uses that include the warehouse and office uses as existing on the
date of this Lease.
Section 6.2. Limitations on Landlord's Liability: Landlord shall
-----------------------------------
indemnify Tenant against and hold Tenant harmless from any and all costs, claims
or liability arising from tortious acts or omissions of Landlord, provided that
such acts or omissions constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct by
Landlord, and from claims in tort arising with respect to the Property that
occurred prior to the commencement of this Lease. Landlord shall defend Tenant
against any such cost, claim or liability at Landlord's expense with counsel
reasonably acceptable to Tenant or, at Tenant's election, Landlord shall
reimburse Tenant for any legal fees or costs incurred by Tenant in connection
with any such claim, on a periodic basis as billed by counsel. Landlord shall
not be liable for any damage or injury to the person, business (or any loss of
income therefrom), goods, wares, merchandise or other property of Tenant,
Tenant's employees, invitees, customers or any other person in or about the
Property, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from: (a) fire,
steam, electricity, water, gas or rain; (b) the breakage, leakage, obstruction
or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air
conditioning or lighting fixtures or any other cause; (c) conditions arising in
or about the Property or upon other portions of any building of which the

liability for Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 6.3. Landlord's Obligations: Subject to the provisions of
----------------------
Article 7 (Damage or Destruction) and Article 8 (Condemnation), and except for
the damage caused by any act or omission of Tenant, Landlord shall keep the

on the Property in good order, condition and repair and, subject to Landlord's
right to additional Rent as specified in this Lease, Landlord shall make such
capital improvements or replacements as is necessary to comply with Sections 5.2
and 6.4.1 of this Lease. However, Landlord shall not be obligated to maintain or
repair windows, doors, plate glass or the surfaces of walls. Landlord shall be
obligated to commence, and thereafter diligently complete, repairs under this
Section 6.3 within a reasonable time after receipt of a written notice from
Tenant of the need for such repairs.
Section 6.4. Tenant's Obligations:
--------------------
6.4.1 Subject to the provisions of Section 6.3, Article 7
(Damage or Destruction) and Article 8 (Condemnation), Tenant shall, at all
times, keep the Property (excluding the foundation, roof and structural portions
of exterior walls of the improvements on the Property) in good order, condition
and repair, excepting
-9-
reasonable wear and tear. In addition, Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense,
repair any damage to the roof, foundation or structural portions of walls caused
by Tenant's negligence or willful misconduct. It is the intention of Landlord
and Tenant that, at all times during the Lease Term, Tenant shall maintain the
Property in an orderly, sanitary and fully operative condition; provided,
however, that the cost of capital improvements required to replace portions or
systems of the Property that are no longer in good condition and repair
notwithstanding Tenant's satisfaction of its maintenance and repair obligations
under this Lease, shall be amortized over the useful life of such improvements
and Tenant shall be responsible to pay, monthly as additional Rent, the monthly
portion of that amount allocated to the remaining Term of this Lease.
6.4.2 All of Tenant's obligations to maintain and repair
shall be accomplished at Tenant's sole expense. If Tenant fails to maintain and
repair the Property as required by this Section 6.4, Landlord may on ten (10)
days' prior notice (except that no notice shall be required in case of
emergency), enter the Property and perform such maintenance or repair on behalf
of Tenant. In such case, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred
in performing such maintenance or repair immediately upon demand.
Section 6.5. Alterations, Additions, and Improvements:
----------------------------------------
6.5.1 Tenant shall not make any improvements to the
Property without Landlord's prior written consent which shall not be
unreasonably withheld based on plans approved in advance by Landlord exercising
its reasonable judgment. Landlord may require Tenant to provide demolition
and/or lien and completion bonds in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord. Tenant shall promptly remove any alterations, additions, and
improvements constructed in violation of this Paragraph 6.5(a) upon Landlord's
written request. All alterations, additions, and improvements will be
accomplished in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformity with all applicable
laws and regulations, and by a contractor approved by Landlord exercising its
reasonable judgment. Upon completion of any such work, Tenant shall provide
Landlord with "as built" plans, copies of all construction contracts, and proof
of payment for all labor and materials.
6.5.2 Tenant shall pay when due all claims for labor and
material furnished to the Property. Tenant shall give Landlord at least ten
(10) days' prior written notice of the commencement of any work in the Property.
Landlord may elect to record and post notices of non-responsibility on the
Property.
Section 6.6 Condition upon Termination: Upon termination of the
--------------------------
Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Property to Landlord, broom clean and in the
same condition as received except for ordinary wear and tear in which Tenant was
not otherwise obligated to remedy under any provisions of this Lease. However,
Tenant
-10-
shall not be obligated to repair any damage which Landlord is required to repair
under Article 7 (Damage or Destruction). Unless Landlord otherwise consents,
Tenant shall remove any alterations, additions, or improvements (if designated
by the Landlord, in its sole discretion, for removal at the time of its consent
to the making thereof), and Tenant's machinery and equipment, prior to the
termination of the Lease and shall restore the Property to its prior condition,
all at Tenant's expense. Any alterations, additions, improvements' machinery and
equipment not timely removed by Tenant shall, at Landlord's sole election,
become Landlord's property and shall be deemed surrendered to Landlord upon the
termination of the Lease. In no event, however, shall Tenant remove any of the
following materials or equipment without Landlord's prior written consent: any
power panels; lighting or lighting fixtures; wall coverings; drapes, blinds or
other window coverings; carpets or other floor coverings; heaters, air
conditioners or any other heating or air conditioning equipment; fencing or
security gates; or other similar building operating equipment and decorations.
ARTICLE 7: DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
Section 7.1. Partial Damage to Property: Tenant shall notify
--------------------------
Landlord in writing immediately upon the occurrence of any damage to the
Property. If the Property is only partially damaged so that the damage can be
repaired within ninety (90) days after Tenant's notice, or if in the reasonable
judgment of Tenant the Property remains substantially usable to Tenant for the
intended purposes of the Lease, and if the proceeds received by Landlord from
the insurance policies described in Paragraph 4.3(b), if any, are sufficient to
pay for the necessary repairs, this Lease shall remain in effect and Landlord
shall repair the damage as soon as reasonably possible. Landlord may elect to
repair any damage to Tenant's fixtures, equipment, or improvements.
If the Property damage cannot be repaired within ninety (90) days after
Tenant's notice and if in the reasonable judgment of Tenant the Property does
not remain substantially usable to Tenant for the intended purposes of the
Lease, either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate the Lease as of the date
the damage occurred, and in either event Landlord shall retain all insurance
proceeds.
Subject to the terms of any debt lien against the Property, if the
insurance proceeds received by Landlord are not sufficient to pay the entire
cost of repair, or if the damage was due to a cause not covered by the insurance
policies which Tenant maintains under Paragraph 4.3(b), Landlord may elect to
either (a) repair the damage as soon as reasonably possible in which case this
Lease shall remain in full force and effect, or (b) terminate this Lease as of
the date the damage occurred, and in either event to retain all insurance
proceeds. Landlord shall notify Tenant within thirty (30)
-11-
days after receipt of notice of the occurrence of the damage, whether Landlord
elects to repair the damage or terminate the Lease.
If Landlord elects or is obligated to repair the damage and the damage
was due to an act or omission of Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand
the difference between the actual cost of repair and the insurance proceeds
received by Landlord. If Landlord elects to terminate the Lease, Tenant may
elect to continue this Lease in full force and effect, in which case Tenant
shall repair any damage to the Property. Tenant shall pay the cost of such
repairs, except that, upon satisfactory completion of such repairs, Landlord
shall deliver to Tenant any insurance proceeds received by Landlord for the
damage repaired by Tenant. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such
election with ten (10) days after receiving Landlord's termination notice.
If the damage to the Property occurs during the last six (6) months of
the Lease Term and cannot be repaired within forty-five (45) days after Tenant's
notice of the damage, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease as of the date
the damage occurred regardless of the sufficiency of any insurance proceeds. In
such event, Landlord shall not be obligated to repair or restore the Property
and Tenant shall have no right to continue this Lease. Landlord shall notify
Tenant of its election within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of the
occurrence of the damage.
Section 7.2. Total or Substantial Destruction: If the Property is
--------------------------------
totally or substantially destroyed, in the reasonable judgment of Tenant, by any
cause whatsoever so that it is not substantially usable by Tenant for the
intended purposes of the Lease and cannot be repaired within the time set forth
above, this Lease shall terminate as of the date the destruction occurred
regardless of whether Landlord receives any insurance proceeds. If the
destruction was caused by an act or omission of Tenant, Tenant shall pay
Landlord the difference between the actual cost of rebuilding (whether or not
Landlord elects to rebuild) and any insurance proceeds received by Landlord from
Tenant's policy maintained pursuant to Section 4.3.2.
Section 7.3. Temporary Reduction of Rent: If the Property is
---------------------------
destroyed or damaged and Landlord or Tenant repairs or restores the Property
pursuant to the provisions of this Article 7, the Base Rent payable during the
period of such damage, repair and/or restoration shall be reduced according to
the degree, if any, to which Tenant's use of the Property is impaired. However,
the reduction shall not exceed the sum of one year's payment of Base Rent.
Except for such possible reduction in Base Rent, Tenant shall not be entitled to
any compensation, reduction, or reimbursement from Landlord as a result of any
damage, destruction, repair, or restoration of or to the Property.
-12-
ARTICLE 8: CONDEMNATION
Section 8.1. Condemnation: If all or any portion of the Property
------------
is taken under the power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of that
power (all of which are called "Condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as to
the part taken or sold on the date the condemning authority takes title or
possession, whichever occurs first. If in the reasonable judgment of Tenant the
Condemnation renders the Property substantially unusable to Tenant for the
intended purposes of the Lease, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this
Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, by
delivering written notice to the other within ten (10) days after receipt of
written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within ten (10)
days after the condemning authority takes possession). If neither Landlord nor
Tenant terminates this Lease, this Lease shall remain in effect as to the
portion of the Property not taken, except that the Base Rent shall be reduced in
proportion to the reduction in the floor area of the Property. Any Condemnation
award or payment shall be distributed in the following order: (a) first, to any
ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary under a deed of trust encumbering the
Property, the amount of its interest in the Property; (b) second, to Tenant only
the amount of any award specifically designated for loss of or damage to
Tenant's trade fixtures or removable personal property; and (c) third, to
Landlord, the remainder of such award, whether as compensation for reduction in
the value of the leasehold, the taking of the fee, or otherwise. If this Lease
is not terminated, then subject to the terms of any debt lien against the
Property, Landlord shall repair any damage to the Property caused by the
Condemnation, except that Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage
for which Tenant has been reimbursed by the condemning authority. If the
severance damages received by Landlord are not sufficient to pay for such
repair, Landlord shall have the right to either terminate this Lease or make
such repair at Landlord's expense. Nothing in this Section shall be construed
to prevent Tenant from exercising any right it may have under the law to
prosecute its own separate claim for damages or compensation and to obtain an
award independent from the award due to Landlord.
ARTICLE 9: ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Section 9.1. Landlord's Consent Required: No portion of the
---------------------------
Property or of Tenant's interest in this Lease may be acquired by any other
person or entity, whether by assignment, mortgage, sublease, transfer, operation
of law, or act of Tenant, without Landlord's prior written consent, which
consent Landlord may grant or withhold in its sole and absolute discretion;
provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right to sublease, assign or
otherwise transfer all or any part of Tenant's interest in this Lease to an
entity that fifty (50%) percent or more owns, is owned by or is under common
ownership with Tenant so long as by the express terms of such sublease,
assignment or other transfer Cornucopia Natural Foods, Inc. remains fully
-13-
liable to Landlord for Tenant's obligations under the Lease and Landlord is
given direct recourse against such sublessee, assignee or transferee with
respect to its obligations under such sublease, assignment or transfer in the
event of a default by Tenant.
ARTICLE 10: DEFAULTS; REMEDIES
Section 10.1. Covenants and Conditions: Tenant's performance of
------------------------
each Tenant's obligation under this Lease is a condition as well as a covenant.
Tenant's right to continue in possession of the Property is conditional upon
such performance. Time is of the essence in the performance of all covenants and
conditions.
Section 10.2. Defaults: Tenant shall be in material default under
--------
this Lease:
10.2.1 If Tenant abandons the Property or if Tenant's
vacation of the Property results in the cancellation of any insurance described
in Section 4.3.
10.2.2 If Tenant fails to pay rent or any other charge
required to be paid by Tenant, as and when due, provided, however, that Tenant
shall have the right to notice of such default and an opportunity to cure the
same for three (3) business days.
10.2.3 If Tenant fails to perform any of Tenant's non-
monetary obligations under this Lease for a period of thirty (30) days after
written notice from Landlord; provided that if more than thirty (30) days are
required to complete such performance, Tenant shall not be in default if Tenant
commences such performance within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently pursues its completion. However, Landlord shall not be required to
give such notice if Tenant's failure to perform constitutes a non-curable breach
of this Lease. The notice required by this Paragraph is intended to satisfy any
and all notice requirements imposed by law on Landlord and is not in addition to
any such requirement.
10.2.4 (i) If Tenant makes a general assignment or general
arrangement for the benefit of creditors; (ii) if a petition for adjudication of
bankruptcy or for reorganization or rearrangement is filed by or against Tenant
and is not dismissed within thirty (30) days; (iii) if a trustee or receiver is
appointed to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets located in
the Property or of Tenant's interest in this Lease and possession is not
restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or (iv) if substantially all of
Tenant's assets located in the Property or of Tenant's interest in this Lease is
subjected to attachment, execution or other judicial seizure which is not
discharged within thirty (30) days. If a court of competent jurisdiction
determines that any of the acts described in this subparagraph (d) is not a
default under this Lease, and a trustee is appointed to take possession (or if
Tenant
-14-
remains a debtor in possession) and such trustee or Tenant transfers Tenant's
interest hereunder, then Landlord shall receive, as Additional Rent, the
difference between the rent (or any other consideration) paid in connection with
such assignment or sublease and the rent payable by Tenant hereunder.
Section 10.3. Remedies: On the occurrence of any material default
--------
by Tenant, Landlord may, at any time thereafter, with or without notice or
demand and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy
which Landlord may have:
10.3.1 Terminate this Lease, effective at such time as may
be specified by written notice to Tenant, and demand and recover possession of
the Property from Tenant. Notwithstanding how Tenant may hold title to its
interest under this Lease, the obligations of Tenant under this Lease are not
separable, the Property may not be subdivided, and the Landlord has the right to
terminate the Lease if Tenant does not fully perform all its obligations under
this Lease. Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for damages in an amount
equal to the Base Rent and Other Charges which would have been owing by Tenant
hereunder for the balance of the Lease Term, and this Lease not been terminated,
less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting. Landlord shall be entitled to
collect such damages from Tenant on the days on which the Base Rent and Other
Charges would have been payable if this lease had not been terminated.
Alternatively, at the option of the Landlord, Landlord shall be entitled to
recover forthwith from Tenant, as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a
penalty, an aggregate sum which, at the time of such termination of the Lease,
represents the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate of the Base Rent and all
other sums payable by Tenant hereunder that would have accrued for the balance
of the Lease Term, over (ii) the sum of Rent collected after default with
respect to the Property for the balance of the Lease Term. Landlord's loss of
future increases in rent being deemed a sufficient approximation of any present
value discount which otherwise might be appropriate.
10.3.2 Without terminating this Lease, to terminate
Tenant's rights of possession of the Property on a date specified by written
notice to Tenant, and demand and recover possession of the Property from Tenant.
Upon the giving of such notice, Tenant's right to possession of the Property
shall expire and terminate on such date, but Tenant shall remain liable as
hereinafter provided. Landlord shall also have the right, without termination of
the Lease, to accelerate the entire outstanding balance of Rent for the
remaining portion of the Term. No discount for acceleration shall be allowed.
10.3.3 If any event of default shall have occurred,
Landlord shall have the immediate right, whether or not this Lease shall have
been terminated, to re-enter and repossess the Property or any part thereof by
force, summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise and shall have the further
right to remove all
-15-
persons and property therefrom. Landlord shall be under no liability for or by
reason of any such entry, repossession or removal. No such re-entry or taking
of possession of the Property by Landlord shall be construed as an election on
Landlord's part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such election
has been given to Tenant pursuant to Section 10.3.1 or unless the termination of
this Lease has been decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
10.3.4 Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available
to Landlord under the laws or judicial decisions of Colorado.
Section 10.4. Cumulative Remedies: Landlord's exercise of any
-------------------
right or remedy shall not prevent it from exercising any other right or remedy.
ARTICLE 11: PROTECTION OF LENDERS
Section 11.1. Subordination: Landlord shall have the right to
-------------
subordinate this Lease to any ground lease, deed or trust of mortgage
encumbering the Property, any advances made on the security thereof and any
renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof,
whenever made or recorded. However, Tenant's right to quiet possession of the
Property during the Lease Term shall not be disturbed if Tenant pays the rent
and performs all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease and is not otherwise
in default. If any ground lessor, beneficiary or mortgagee elects to have this
Lease senior in priority to the lien of its ground lease, deed of trust or
mortgage and gives written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed
prior to such ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage whether this Lease is
dated prior or subsequent to the date of said ground lease, deed of trust or
mortgage or the date of recording thereof.
Section 11.2. Attornment: If Landlord's interest in the Property
----------
is acquired by any ground lessor, beneficiary under a deed of trust, mortgagee,
or purchaser at a foreclosure sale, Tenant shall attorn to the transferee of or
successor to Landlord's interest in the Property and recognize such transferee
or successor as Landlord under this Lease. However, Tenant's right to quiet
possession of the Property during the Lease Term shall not be disturbed if
Tenant pays the rent and performs all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease
and is not otherwise in default. Tenant waives the protection of any statute or
rule of law which gives or purports to give Tenant any right to terminate this
Lease or surrender possession of the Property upon transfer of Landlord's
interest.
Section 11.3. Signing of Documents: Tenant shall sign and deliver
--------------------
any instrument or documents reasonably requested by Landlord to evidence any
such attornment or subordination or agreement to do so. Such subordination and
attornment documents are subject to the reasonable approval of Tenant as to form
-16-
and may contain such provisions as are customarily required by any ground
lessor, beneficiary under a deed of trust or mortgagee. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant hereby agrees to such subordination and attornment, such
attornment and subordination shall be automatic and the Lease shall not be
construed to require the execution of any instrument or document by Tenant for
such attornment or subordination to be effective.
Section 11.4. Estoppel Certificates:
---------------------
11.4.1 Upon Landlord's written request, Tenant shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a written statement certifying: (i)
that none of the terms or provisions of this Lease have been changed (or if they
have been changed, stating how they have been changed); (ii) this Lease has not
been canceled or terminated; (iii) that the last date of payment of the Base
Rent and Other Charges and the time period covered by such payment; (iv) that
Landlord is not in default under this Lease (or, if Landlord is claimed to be in
default, stating why); and (v) such other matters as may be reasonably required
by Landlord or the holder of a mortgage, deed of trust or lien to which the
property is or becomes subject. Tenant shall deliver such statement to Landlord
within ten (10) days after Landlord's request. Any such statement by Tenant may
be given by Landlord to any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the
Property. Such purchaser or encumbrancer may rely conclusively upon such
statement as true and correct.
11.4.2 If Tenant does not deliver such statement to
Landlord within such ten (10) day period, Landlord, and any prospective
purchaser or encumbrancer, may conclusively presume and rely upon the following
facts: (i) that the terms and provisions of this Lease have not been changed
except as otherwise represented by Landlord; (ii) that this Lease has not been
canceled or terminated except as otherwise represented by Landlord; (iii) that
not more than one month's Base Rent or Other Charges have been paid in advance;
and (iv) that Landlord is not in default under the Lease. In such event, Tenant
shall be estopped from denying the truth of such facts.
Section 11.5. Tenant's Financial Condition: Within ten (10) days
----------------------------
after written request from Landlord, but not more frequently than once per Lease
Year, Tenant shall deliver to any lender designated by Landlord any financial
statements reasonably required by such lender to facilitate the financing or
refinancing of the Property; provided, however, that such lender shall agree not
to disclose such information except as reasonably necessary in the ordinary
course of lender's business. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that
each financial statement is a true and accurate statement as of the date of such
statement. All financial statements shall be used only for the purposes set
forth herein.
-17-
ARTICLE 12: LEGAL COSTS
Section 12.1. Legal Proceedings: If any action for breach of or
-----------------
to enforce the provisions of this Lease is commenced, the court in such action
shall award to the party in whose favor a judgment is entered, a reasonable sum
as attorneys' fees and costs. Such attorneys' fees and costs shall be paid by
the losing party in such action. Tenant shall also indemnify Landlord if
Landlord becomes or is made a party to any claim or action (a) instituted by
Tenant, or by any third party against Tenant arising out of negligence or the
willful misconduct of Tenant, or by or against any person holding any interest
under or using the Property by license of or agreement with Tenant; (b) for
foreclosure of any lien for labor or material furnished to or for Tenant or such
other person; (c) otherwise arising out of or resulting from any negligence or
willful misconduct by Tenant; or (d) necessary to protect Landlord's interest
under this Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding, or other proceeding under Title 11
of the United States Code, as amended. Tenant shall defend Landlord against any
such claim or action at Tenant's expense with counsel reasonably acceptable to
Landlord or, at Landlord's election, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any
legal fees or costs incurred by Landlord in any such claim or action.
Section 12.2. Landlord's Consent: Tenant shall pay Landlord's
------------------
reasonable attorneys' fees which under the circumstances and by the nature of
Tenant's proposal are reasonably incurred in connection with any act which
Tenant proposes to do which requires Landlord's consent, excluding Landlord's
review of improvements plans proposed by Tenant and excluding a proposed
assignment or sublease of the entire leasehold estate to a wholly owned
subsidiary of Tenant provided that Cornucopia Natural Foods, Inc. remains liable
to Landlord for the Tenant's obligations as stated in this Lease.
ARTICLE 13: MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 13.1. Waiver of Subrogation: Landlord and Tenant each
---------------------
hereby waive any and all rights of recovery against the other, or against the
officers, employees, agents or representatives of the other, for loss of or
damage to its property or the property of others under its control, if such loss
or damage is covered by any insurance policy in force (whether or not described
in this Lease) at the time of such loss or damage. Upon obtaining the policies
of insurance described herein, Landlord and Tenant shall give notice to the
insurance carrier or carriers of the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation.
Section 13.2. Landlord's Liability; Certain Duties:
------------------------------------
13.2.1 As used in this Lease, the term "Landlord" means
only the current owner or owners of the fee title to the Property or the
leasehold estate under
-18-
a ground lease of the Property at the time in question. Each Landlord is
obligated to perform the obligations of Landlord under this Lease only during
the time such Landlord owns such interest or title. Any Landlord who transfers
its title or interest is relieved of all liability with respect to the
obligations of Landlord under this Lease to be performed on or after the date of
transfer. However, each Landlord shall deliver to its transferee all funds
previously paid by Tenant if such funds have not yet been applied under the
terms of this Lease.
13.2.2 Tenant shall give written notice of any failure by
Landlord to perform any of its obligations under this Lease to landlord and to
any ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary under any deed or trust encumbering
the Property or the Property whose name and address have been furnished to
Tenant in writing. Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease unless
Landlord (or such ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary) fails to cure such
non-performance within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's notice.
However, if such non-performance reasonably requires more than thirty (30) days
to cure, Landlord shall not be in default if such cure is commenced within such
thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion. Tenant
shall not be required to give such notice if Landlord's failure to perform
constitutes a non-curable breach of this Lease.
13.2.3 Notwithstanding any provision of the Lease otherwise
to the contrary, Landlord shall have no monetary liability to Tenant except in
the event of Landlord's gross negligence, willful misconduct or the
indemnification covenants by Landlord contained in this Lease. Except in such
events, the recourse of Tenant against Landlord for breach or default of the
Lease or the obligations of Landlord hereunder shall be limited to termination
of the Lease if the Property is thereby made unusable to Tenant for the intended
purposes of the Lease, subject to Landlord's rights to notice and an opportunity
to cure such breach or default as set forth in the Lease; provided, however,
that if Landlord fails to perform its obligations under this Lease that can be
performed by the payment of money and if the failure by Landlord materially
interferes with Tenant's use of the Property for its intended purposes, Tenant
may, on ten (10) days' prior notice (or such shorter notice as may be required
in case of emergency), perform such obligations on behalf of Landlord. In such
case, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all costs incurred in performing such
maintenance or repair immediately upon demand.
Section 13.3. Severability: A determination by a court of
------------
competent jurisdiction that any provision of this Lease or any part thereof is
illegal or unenforceable shall not cancel or invalidate the remainder of such
provision or this Lease, which shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 13.4. Interpretation: The captions of the Articles or
--------------
Sections of this Lease are to assist the parties in reading this Lease and are
not a part of the terms or provisions of this Lease. Whenever required by the
context of this Lease, the singular
-19-
shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. The
masculine, feminine and neuter genders shall each include the other. In any
provision relating to the conduct, acts or omissions of Tenant, the term
"Tenant" shall include Tenant's agents, employees, contractors, invitees,
successors or others using the Property with Tenant's expressed or implied
permission.
Section 13.5. Incorporation of Prior Agreements; Modifications:
------------------------------------------------
This Lease is the only agreement between the parties pertaining to the lease of
the property and no other agreements are effective. All amendments to this
Lease shall be in writing and signed by all parties. Any other attempted
amendment shall be void.
Section 13.6. Notices: All notices required or permitted under
-------
this Lease shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered or sent by
certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Notices to Tenant
shall be delivered to the address specified in Section 1.3 above. Notices to
Landlord shall be delivered to the address specified in Section 1.2 above. All
notices shall be effective upon delivery or attempted delivery in accordance
with this Section 13.7. Either party may change its notice address upon written
notice to the other party.
Section 13.7. Waivers: All waivers must be in writing and signed
-------
by the waiving party. Landlord's failure to enforce any provision of this Lease
or its acceptance of rent shall not be a waiver and shall not prevent Landlord
from enforcing that provision or any other provision of this Lease in the
future. No statement on a payment check from Tenant or in a letter accompanying
a payment check shall be binding on Landlord. Landlord may, with or without
notice to Tenant, negotiate such check without being bound to the conditions of
such statement.
Section 13.8. No Recordation: Tenant shall not record this Lease
--------------
without prior written consent from Landlord. However, either Landlord or Tenant
may require that a "Short Form" memorandum of this Lease executed by both
parties be recorded.
Section 13.9. Binding Effect; Choice of Law: This Lease binds any
-----------------------------
party who legally acquires any rights or interest in this Lease from Landlord or
Tenant. However, Landlord shall have no obligation to Tenant's successor unless
the rights or interests of Tenant's successor are acquired in accordance with
the terms of this Lease. The laws of the State of Colorado shall govern this
Lease.
Section 13.10. Corporate Authority: Each person signing this
-------------------
Lease on behalf of Tenant represents and warrants that he has full authority to
do so and that this lease binds the corporation. Within 10 days after this
Lease is signed, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a certified copy of a
resolution of Tenant's Board of
-20-
Directors authorizing the execution of this lease or other evidence of such
authority reasonably acceptable to Landlord.
Section 13.11. Execution of Lease: This Lease may be executed in
------------------
counterparts, and, when all counterpart documents are executed, the counterparts
shall constitute a single binding instrument. The delivery of this Lease by
Landlord and Tenant shall not be deemed to be an offer and shall not be binding
upon either party until executed and delivered by both parties.
Section 13.12. No Brokers: Tenant represents and warrants to
----------
Landlord that it has employed no agents, brokers, finders or other parties with
whom Tenant has dealt who are or may be entitled to any commission or fee with
respect to this Lease or the Property.
Section 13.13. Riders: Not applicable.
------
Landlord and Tenant have signed this Lease and have initialed all Riders
which are attached to this Lease.
