AGREEMENT
1. GRANT
OF LEASE. In consideration of the Rent and the mutual covenants
and agreements contained in this Lease, Landlord hereby leases to
Tenant and
Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the Leased Premises, subject to
and in
accordance with the terms, provisions and conditions set forth in
this Lease.
The Leased Premises is leased to Tenant in its current, as-is
condition, without
any warranty as to such condition, and Tenant acknowledges that it
has inspected
and accepts the Leased Premises in its current, as-is
condition.
2. TERM.
The initial term (the "INITIAL TERM") of this Lease shall be
eight (8) years commencing on the date of this Lease (the
"COMMENCEMENT DATE")
and expiring on July 19, 2012 (the "EXPIRATION DATE"), unless
sooner terminated
as provided herein, and subject to extension by Tenant as provided
in Section 3
below.
3. OPTION
TO EXTEND. Tenant shall have the right to extend the Initial
Term for one additional five (5) year period (the "EXTENSION TERM")
by
delivering written notice to Landlord on or before the date which
is one year
prior to the Expiration Date, provided that Tenant is not in
default at the time
such notice is given or at the commencement of the Extension Term.
The Extension
Term shall be on the same terms and conditions contained herein
applicable at
the Expiration Date, except the Rent shall be the then-fair market
rental value
for the Leased Premises, which means what a landlord under no
compulsion to
lease the Leased Premises and what a tenant under no compulsion to
lease the
Leased Premises would determine as rent for the Extension Term, as
of the
commencement of the Extension Term, taking into consideration the
uses permitted
under this Lease, the quality, size, design, age, and location of
the Leased
Premises, and the rent for comparable buildings located in the
vicinity of Mira
Loma, California, but excluding any consideration of the value of
Tenant's
fixtures, machinery, systems, equipment, and other Tenant's
Property,
Alterations or other improvements installed or located by Tenant
therein. The
fair market rental value shall be as determined by Landlord in the
reasonable
exercise of its real estate business judgment; provided, however,
if Tenant
objects to such determination made by Landlord, within ten (10)
days after
receipt of written notice of such rental amount by Tenant, each
party shall
within fifteen (15) days (after then end of the 10-day period)
select an
independent third-party appraiser, which appraisers shall within
fifteen (15)
days after their selection select a third independent third-party
appraiser who
shall within thirty (30) days after such selection determine the
fair market
rental value for the Leased Premises for the Extension Term, which
the parties
agree shall be binding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
shall the
Rent for the Extension Term be less than the Rent last in effect
prior to the
Extension Term. The Extension Term shall commence at midnight on
the date on
which the Initial Term expires and shall continue until the fifth
(5th)
anniversary thereof. (The Initial Term and the Extension Term are
collectively
referred to herein as the "TERM").
4. OPTION
TO TERMINATE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained
herein, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease
effective at any
time prior to the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Commencement
Date, with
delivery of at least 120 days' prior written notice to Landlord
stating therein
the termination date, upon which date this Lease shall terminate as
if such date
were the date originally scheduled for expiration of this Lease;
provided,
however, if such termination is to occur at any time during the
first two years
of this Lease, Landlord shall
2.
<PAGE>
waive monthly payments of Rent (but not Additional Rent) by Tenant
for the 120
day period immediately prior to termination.
5.
HOLDOVER TENANCY. In the event that Tenant continues to occupy
the
Leased Premises beyond the expiration of the Term, such occupancy
shall be a
tenancy-at-sufferance, commencing at midnight on the date on which
the Initial
Term or Extension Term expires, upon the same terms and conditions
as contained
herein, and at a rental rate equal to one hundred fifty percent
(150%) of the
Rent paid immediately prior to the expiration of the Initial Term
or the
Extension Term. This holdover provision does not authorize any
holdover
occupancy that is not expressly authorized by Landlord in
writing.
6. ANNUAL
RENT. During the Term, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord rent (the
"RENT") in the amounts set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto,
prorated for any
partial months. Rent shall be payable monthly in advance on the
first day of
each and every calendar month during the Term. The first Rent
payment shall be
due on the Commencement Date. If any installment of Rent or other
payment is not
paid within five (5) days of the date due, Tenant shall pay a late
fee in the
amount of 5% of such payment to offset additional costs incurred by
Landlord by
reason of such late payment.
7. NET
LEASE. The Rent and other sums and charges to be paid by Tenant
as
provided in this Lease shall be absolutely net to Landlord. Except
as otherwise
specifically set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall pay, as
additional rent, all
costs, charges obligations, taxes, assessments and expenses of
every kind and
nature against or relating to the Leased Premises or the use,
occupancy,
insurance, maintenance, repair or replacement thereof, which arise
or become due
during the Term of this Lease (the "ADDITIONAL RENT"), and Landlord
shall have
no obligation therefor. Landlord shall not bear any costs or
expenses relating
to the Leased Premises nor provide any services or do any act in
connection with
the Leased Premises except as otherwise specifically provided in
this Lease.
Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be obligated to assume any
Service
Contracts (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) in
connection with
Footstar's sale of the Leased Premises to Landlord.
8.
SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of One
Hundred
Six Thousand Four Hundred and no/100ths Dollars ($106,400.00) (the
"SECURITY
DEPOSIT"), which is the equivalent of one month's Rent, as security
for the
performance by Tenant of Tenant's covenants and obligations under
this Lease.
The Security Deposit shall be paid by Tenant in three monthly
installments of
$35,467, $35,467, and $35,466 payable respectively with the first
three monthly
payments of Rent owed to Landlord during the Initial Term. Upon and
during the
continuance of an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease,
Landlord may,
without prejudice to any other remedy and without waiving such
Event of Default,
apply all or any portion of the Security Deposit to the extent
necessary to cure
such Event of Default by Tenant. Following any such application of
the Security
Deposit, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount so
applied in order
to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. The
Security Deposit, or
so much thereof as is then held by Landlord, shall be returned to
Tenant,
without interest, at the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease
provided Tenant is not then in default hereunder. If Landlord
transfers its
interest in the Leased Premises during the term of this Lease,
Landlord may
assign the Security Deposit together with assignment of this Lease
to the
transferee, and Landlord thereafter shall have no further liability
for the
return of such Security Deposit.

TENANT'S USE. Tenant is engaged in the business of providing
third
party logistics, distribution and transportation services
including, but not
limited to (i) air and ocean freight forwarding worldwide, and
(ii)
transloading, warehousing, distributing, providing value added
services,
information technology services, and local and long-distance
trucking throughout
North America. Tenant may use the Leased Premises for such
purposes, or uses
incidental thereto ("TENANT'S USE") and for no other use or
purpose. Tenant
shall not be required to continuously occupy the Leased Premises or
to
continuously operate its business at the Leased Premises, and may
vacate and
cease operations on the Leased Premises, provided that Tenant
otherwise complies
with the requirements of this Lease. Tenant shall comply in all
respects with
all applicable laws, orders, ordinances, directives, rules,
regulations and
requirements of any duly constituted public authority relating to
the Leased
Premises and Tenant's use of, and business and operations conducted
on or from,
the Leased Premises, and with all recorded covenants, conditions
and
restrictions applicable to the Leased Premises; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that Tenant
shall not be obligated to perform or pay for any repairs or
replacements to the
Building or any electrical, mechanical or HVAC components required
to bring the
Leased Premises into compliance with laws at the Commencement Date
of the Lease,
except if such requirements relate solely to Tenant's use of and
business
operations conducted on the Leased Premises. With the prior consent
of Landlord
(not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Tenant
will have the
right to contest by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in
good faith
in the name of Tenant or, with the prior consent of the Landlord
(not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), in the name of
Landlord, or
both, without cost or expense to Landlord, the validity or
application of any
law without incurring any lien, charge, or liability of any kind
against the
Leased Premises, and without subjecting Tenant or Landlord to any
liability,
civil or criminal, for failure to comply.
10.
UTILITIES. Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining and paying for
as
Additional Rent all utilities serving the Leased Premises during
the Lease.
Tenant may install or cause to be installed any utility service
lines and
facilities on the Leased Premises as Tenant in its discretion deems
necessary or
desirable, including without limitation the installation of
telecommunication
lines and facilities through the exterior walls and on the roof of
the Building
(provided that all such work shall be done in accordance with plans
and
specifications which have been approved by Landlord as provided
herein, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed, and
provided that, at Landlord's option, Tenant shall remove all such
installations
at Lease termination or expiration and repair all damage, unless at
the time of
Tenant's request for Landlord's approval Tenant shall have
requested and
Landlord shall have agreed that removal of such installations by
Tenant will not
be required). Tenant shall contract directly with the utility
providers, and pay
when due all charges for gas, electricity, water, sewer,
telecommunications and
other utility services used, rendered or supplied to or for the
Leased Premises
during the Term.
11.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. Tenant shall maintain at Tenant's sole
cost
and expense the Leased Premises in the same condition and repair as
delivered by
Landlord on the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear (which
occurs
despite Tenant's performance of its maintenance and repair
obligations under
this Lease), damage by casualty to the extent not caused by Tenant
or its agents
or invitees, or condemnation, and damage resulting from the gross
negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord excepted, and will make all repairs,
maintenance
and replacements required to maintain such condition.
Notwithstanding the
foregoing, costs for
4.
<PAGE>
replacement (but not repairs involving no capital improvements) of
the roof and
the walls, columns and footings (but not the slab) of the Building
shall be
shared between Landlord and Tenant, provided there is an
independent written
confirmation of the need therefor, and Tenant's share of such cost
shall be
determined by multiplying such cost by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the
number of years (prorated for partial years) remaining in the Term
(including
the Extension Term if then or thereafter exercised) and the
denominator of which
is 15 in the case of the roof and 20 in the case of walls, columns,
and
footings. At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
Tenant will
surrender the Leased Premises in the same condition and repair as
delivered by
Landlord on the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear (which
occurs
despite Tenant's performance of its maintenance and repair
obligations under
this Lease), damage by casualty to the extent not caused by Tenant
or its agents
or invitees, or condemnation, and damage resulting from the gross
negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord excepted. Tenant shall remove the
conveyor
systems and related components, and Tenant may remove all other
Tenant's
Property and Alterations from the Leased Premises unless the
removal thereof
will adversely affect the structure or major systems of the
Building. Tenant
will repair any damage occasioned by any removal by Tenant, which
obligation
will survive the end of this Lease.
12. TAXES.
Tenant shall pay before they become delinquent, as Additional
Rent, all real estate taxes and assessments imposed during the Term
upon or
against the Leased Premises. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord
reasonable written
evidence of such payment not less than ten (10) business days
before the date
such taxes and assessments would be delinquent. It any taxes and
assessments may
be paid in installments, then Tenant may pay such taxes and
assessments in
installments as long as Tenant provides evidence of payment to
Landlord at least
ten (10) days before the date such installments would be
delinquent. Taxes and
assessments shall be prorated based on the most recent assessment
and levy
between Landlord and Tenant for any partial years of the Lease
Term. Tenant
shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to contest any
taxes or
assessments levied against the Leased Premises, and Landlord shall
cooperate
reasonably with Tenant, at Tenant's expense, in connection with
such contest.
Any abatement, reduction or recovery of taxes or assessments
applicable to
amounts paid or payable by Tenant shall be payable solely to
Tenant. In addition
to payment of real estate taxes, Tenant shall pay when due all
personal property
taxes, assessments, fees and assessments due to any owner's
association, license
fees and other charges assessed against Tenant's Property located
from time to
time on the Leased Premises.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, following an Event of Default by
Tenant
hereunder and continuing after any cure thereof, at Landlord's
option, Tenant
shall pay real estate taxes and assessments by making monthly
escrow payments to
Landlord, in amounts as are reasonably estimated by Landlord from
time to time,
with any underpayment or overpayment, and additional payment from
or refund to
Tenant reconciled at the time such taxes are paid by Landlord.
13.
INSURANCE.
(a) LANDLORD'S INSURANCE. From the Commencement Date and
continuing
throughout the Term, Landlord shall maintain "ALL-RISK" property
insurance in an
amount equal to the full replacement cost of the Building and any
real property
improvements located on the Leased Premises, with such additional
coverages
(including, without limitation, earthquake
5.
<PAGE>
coverage and rent loss coverage) as Landlord shall elect. Landlord
shall upon
Tenant's request, provide Tenant with a copy of Landlord's
certificate of
insurance. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such
insurance within
thirty (30) days after Landlord provides Tenant invoices or other
evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Tenant of the cost of insurance.
(b) TENANT'S INSURANCE. From the Commencement Date and
continuing
throughout the Term, Tenant shall maintain insurance for the full
replacement
cost thereof insuring Tenant's Property and any Tenant improvements
located on
the Leased Premises, and all property of any other party located on
the Leased
Premises for which Tenant has assumed custody or control, as well
as commercial
general liability insurance (in primary and/or umbrella policies)
covering the
Leased Premises in the amount of at least $10,000,000 for property
damage or
bodily injury or death of any one person and $10,000,000 for any
one occurrence.
Tenant shall name Landlord as an additional insured for liability
insurance and
provide a certificate of insurance to Landlord upon request. All
insurance
required to be maintained hereunder may be provided by blanket
insurance
policies.
(c) WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive
any
and all rights of recovery against the other and against the
officers,
directors, shareholders, employees, agents, contractors and
representatives of
the other to the extent that such loss or damage is insured against
(or is
required hereby to be insured against by the party suffering the
loss) in any
insurance policy which either party may have in force at the time
of such loss
or damage. Landlord and Tenant shall, upon obtaining the policies
of insurance
required hereunder, give notice to the insurance carrier or
carriers that the
foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation is contained herein.
Landlord and Tenant
shall, from time to time, upon request, cause their respective
insurers to issue
appropriate waiver of subrogation rights endorsements to all
insurance policies
carried in connection herewith.
14. QUIET
ENJOYMENT. Landlord covenants that so long as Tenant fulfills
the conditions and covenants required of it to be performed, Tenant
will have
peaceful and quiet possession of the Leased Premises for the Term
free from
disturbance or hindrance by any party claiming by, through or under
Landlord.
15.
NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT. Landlord shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain from every senior landlord, if any,
and every
senior or junior mortgagee and holder of a deed of trust
encumbering Landlord's
interest in the Leased Premises (collectively, the "FEE
MORTGAGEES"), a
commercially reasonable agreement, in recordable form, wherein each
Fee
Mortgagee agrees to not disturb Tenant's possession or use of the
Leased
Premises or deprive Tenant of any rights or increase any of its
obligations
under this Lease, provided Tenant is not in default of its
obligations under
this Lease (the "SUBORDINATION, RECOGNITION AND NON-DISTURBANCE
AGREEMENT").
Notwithstanding Landlord's satisfaction of the foregoing
requirement, this Lease
shall be subordinate to any Fee Mortgage now existing or arising
after the date
of this Lease, or any renewal, extension or replacement thereof
only if Landlord
provides Tenant with a Subordination, Recognition and
Non-Disturbance Agreement
executed by each Fee Mortgagee. If Landlord fails to provide such
Subordination,
Recognition and Non-Disturbance Agreement to Tenant for any Fee
Mortgagee
holding a lien or encumbrance senior to this Lease, Tenant shall
have the right
at any time thereafter, prior to Tenant's receipt of such
agreement, to
terminate this Lease upon sixty (60) days' prior written notice to
Landlord,
unless
6.
<PAGE>
Landlord shall, within such notice period obtain such
Subordination, Recognition
and Non-Disturbance Agreement.
16.
IMPROVEMENTS AND ALTERATIONS. Tenant shall have the right to
make
alterations, additions and improvements (collectively, the
"ALTERATIONS") to the
Leased Premises as Tenant may deem desirable; provided, however,
that if the
exterior appearance, or structural elements of the Building, or
Building systems
will be affected by such Alterations, or if such Alterations will
cost more than
$25,000, Tenant shall give written notice and complete plans and
specifications
to Landlord of the proposed Alterations and Landlord shall have 30
days after
the receipt of such notice to consent to or disapprove the
Alterations. If
Landlord disapproves such Alterations, Landlord shall detail the
reasons for
such disapproval. Any Alterations constructed upon the Leased
Premises by Tenant
shall be and remain the property of Tenant during the Term. At
Landlord's
request (unless at the time of Tenant's request for Landlord's
approval Tenant
shall have requested and Landlord shall have agreed that removal of
such
installations by Tenant will not be required), or upon Tenant's
election
(notwithstanding any request otherwise by Tenant made at the time
of Landlord's
approval), Tenant shall remove the Alterations upon expiration or
earlier
termination of this Lease and repair any damage caused by such
removal.. All
Alterations shall be accomplished by Tenant using adequately
insured and bonded
contractors reasonably approved by Landlord, in a good,
expeditious, quality and
workmanlike manner, in conformity with applicable laws,
regulations, ordinances
and orders and any covenants, conditions and restrictions
encumbering the Leased
Premises, and in accordance with the plans and specifications
approved by
Landlord as provided above. Tenant shall pay when due all claims
for labor and
materials related to all Alterations and will not allow any lien to
attach to
the Leased Premises, unless Tenant is diligently contesting the
removal of such
lien and has provided a bond or other security required under
applicable law to
avoid forfeiture of the Leased Premises, or as may otherwise be
reasonably
acceptable to Landlord. Landlord may enter upon the Leased Premises
for the
purpose of inspecting the work and for posting appropriate notices
with respect
to any Alterations, including but not limited to notices of
non-responsibility.
The conveyor systems and related components purchased by Tenant
from Footstar
shall be removed by Tenant and any damage caused by such removal
shall be
repaired by Tenant upon expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease.
17. DAMAGE
OR DESTRUCTION. If at any time during the Term, the Leased
Premises or any portion thereof is damaged or destroyed by fire or
other
casualty, Landlord shall within forty-five (45) days from the date
of said
damage or destruction notify and inform Tenant as to the amount of
time required
for Landlord at its expense to restore the Leased Premises
reasonably to the
condition existing prior to such damage or destruction (the
"RESTORATION
PERIOD"). If the Restoration Period exceeds two hundred forty (240)
days, within
twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice of the Restoration
Period, either
party may, by notice to the other party, elect to terminate the
Lease, in which
event the parties shall be released from all further obligations
and liability
thereunder (except for such obligations that expressly survive
termination). If
neither party elects to terminate the Lease, the Lease shall
continue, subject
to restoration of the Leased Premises by Landlord within the time
period
identified in Landlord's notice as the Restoration Period, as
extended by any
events or conditions beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. In
the event the
repair or rebuilding of the Leased Premises has not been completed
within the
Restoration Period, as extended by any events or conditions beyond
the
reasonable control of Landlord, Tenant may: (a) agree to an
extension of the
Restoration Period; or (b) terminate this
7.
<PAGE>
Lease and the parties shall be released from all further
obligations and
liability hereunder (except for such obligations as expressly
survive
termination). During any period that the damage or destruction is
such as to
render the use of the Leased Premises impractical or impossible, as
reasonably
determined by Tenant, the Rent and other charges payable by Tenant
shall abate
(proportionate to the portion of the Leased Premises so affected)
from the date
of such casualty or damage through the completion of repairs.
18.
TENANT'S DEFAULT. In the event Tenant shall fail to pay the Rent
when
due or shall fail to perform any of its other obligations under the
Lease, after
notice of such default shall have been given as provided below (an
"EVENT OF
DEFAULT BY TENANT"), Landlord may elect, without waiver of any
other rights or
remedies available to Landlord, to either: (a) re-enter the Leased
Premises by
summary or similar proceedings and re-let the Leased Premises,
using reasonable
efforts therefor, or (b) to terminate this Lease and obtain
possession of the
Leased Premises. In addition to, and not in lieu of, the foregoing
remedies,
Landlord may at any time, but shall not be obligated to, cure any
default of
Tenant, and in such event, all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs
incurred by
Landlord shall be paid to Landlord by Tenant.
In the
event Landlord elects to re-enter the Leased Premises, Landlord
may, but shall not be obligated to, make such alterations and
repairs as may be
necessary in order to relet the Leased Premises, and relet the
Leased Premises
or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may extend beyond
the Term of
this Lease) and at such rental and upon such other terms and
conditions as
Landlord in its reasonable discretion may deem advisable. Upon each
such
reletting all rentals and other sums received by Landlord from such
reletting
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 reasonable brokerage fees and
attorneys'
fees as well as costs associated with any necessary repairs; third,
to the
payment of Rent and other charges due and unpaid hereunder; and the
residue, if
any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future
Rent as the same
may become due and payable hereunder. If such rentals and other
sums received
from such reletting during any month are less than that to be paid
during that
month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay such deficiency to
Landlord on the
Rent payment date provided herein. Landlord shall use reasonable
efforts to
mitigate damages by reletting. If such rentals and sums are more,
Tenant shall
have no right to the excess.
If
Landlord shall elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall be
entitled to recover from Tenant all costs incurred by Landlord by
reason of
Tenant's default, including, without limitation, all costs incurred
to relet the
Leased Premises, together with all Rent due to the date of
termination, plus an
amount equal to the then-present value (as calculated by Landlord
in the
reasonable exercise of its real estate business judgment) of the
excess of the
Rent reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the Term over the
fair market
value of the Leased Premises for the remainder of the Term.
Landlord
shall not exercise remedies for default hereunder on the part
of
Tenant until 5 days after Tenant's receipt of written notice of any
monetary
default, provided that such notice shall not be required to be
given by Landlord
more than twice in any 12-month period, and 30 days after Tenant's
receipt of
written notice of any non-monetary default, and Tenant within such
time shall
have failed to remedy such default. If any default by Tenant,
except monetary
8.
<PAGE>
defaults, cannot reasonably be cured within 30 days after receipt
of such
notice, then Tenant, provided that Tenant is diligently pursuing
such cure,
shall have additional time, not in excess of 60 days, as may be
reasonably
necessary to cure such default. Landlord shall not exercise any
remedies
otherwise available to Landlord under this Lease and/or at law or
in equity
without having given the notices and allowed the cure periods
expressly set
forth in this Lease. Landlord agrees to accept cure of any Tenant
Event of
Default from Footstar; provided that such cure is made within the
time allowed
to the Tenant for such cure.
19. LANDLORD'S
DEFAULT. Should Landlord default in the performance of any
of the covenants on the part of Landlord to be kept or performed
and such
default shall continue for thirty (30) days after receipt of
written notice from
Tenant stating the nature and extent of the default (an "EVENT OF
DEFAULT BY
LANDLORD"), and provided that Landlord is diligently pursuing such
cure,
Landlord shall have additional time, not in excess of 60 days, as
may be
reasonably necessary to cure such default, Tenant shall, at its
option, and in
addition to any other remedy available to Tenant at law or in
equity, have the
right to terminate this Lease upon delivery of written notice to
Landlord, or
cure the Event of Default by Landlord, including, but not limited
to, the making
of any repairs or replacements to the Leased Premises, and Landlord
shall
reimburse Tenant, on demand, for all of Tenant's reasonable,
out-of-pocket
costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may cure any default,
with only
such notice to Landlord as is reasonable under the circumstances,
where the
failure to promptly cure such default would create or allow to
persist a
condition constituting an imminent threat to human health or
substantial damage
to property.
Any
default notice to landlord shall also be given to any lender
for
Landlord with respect to which Landlord gives Tenant notice of such
lender's
name and address, and such lender shall have the right, but not the
obligation,
to cure such default.
Upon final
judicial determination of the validity and amount of any costs
incurred by Tenant in performing any of the Landlord's obligations
hereunder as
aforesaid, Tenant may set-off such costs incurred by Tenant against

20.
CONDEMNATION. If any portion of or interest in the Leased
Premises
shall be permanently or temporarily (in excess of 180 days) taken
under any
right of eminent domain or any transfer in lieu thereof, and such
taking renders
the Leased Premises unsuitable in the reasonable judgment of Tenant
for Tenant's
Use, Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord
within thirty
(30) days after such taking of the Leased Premises. All proceeds of
such taking
shall be the property of Landlord, except Tenant shall have the
exclusive right
to claim any proceeds for the taking of Tenant's Property, the
unamortized value
of Tenant's improvements and Alterations, moving expenses, expenses
for
disruption and relocation of business, and loss of goodwill,
provided that any
such payment to Tenant does not reduce the amount that would
otherwise be
payable to Landlord.

ASSIGNMENT/SUBLET.
(a) LANDLORD. Except for collateral assignment to a lender to
Landlord, no assignment or transfer of this Lease by Landlord shall
be binding
on Tenant unless the assignee

the Lease,
including without limitation the provisions of Section 21(c) below,
to the
extent of obligations accruing after such assignment.
(b) TENANT. Tenant shall not have the right to assign,
mortgage,
sublease or otherwise transfer its interest in the Leased Premises
without the
consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,

shall relieve
Tenant of any obligations or liability hereunder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing,
Tenant shall have the right, with prior notice to Landlord but
without the
consent of Landlord, to assign its rights, privileges and
obligations under this
Lease to (i) an entity which controls, is controlled by, or is
under common
control with Tenant, (ii) any entity which merges or consolidates
with or
acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or (iii)
Footstar as
provided in Section 22 below. In the event of a sublease of the
Leased Premises
or an assignment of the Lease by Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall
share, 60% to
Landlord and 40% to Tenant, in the net rent payable to Tenant, if
any, in excess
of the Rent owed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, in the
case of a
sublease, or in any net consideration paid to Tenant, in the case
of an
assignment.
