WHEREAS, the Land is subject to that certain Reciprocal Ingress-Egress Easement Agreement dated April 19, 2002 by and between Primary Ground Lessor and Home Depot U.S.A., Inc. (“Home Depot”), as amended by First Amendment to Reciprocal Ingress-Egress Easement Agreement dated January , 2003 (collectively, the “Home Depot REA”), a copy of which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT D and incorporated herein by this reference; and
WHEREAS, in addition to the Land, the Home Depot REA encumbers certain adjacent land defined in the Home Depot REA as the Shopping Center (the “Shopping Center”), as well as the outlot depicted on EXHIBIT B (the “Outlot”); and
WHEREAS, the Outlot is not a part of the Land; and
WHEREAS, as an inducement to Tenant to enter into this Lease, the Outlot will be further encumbered by a Declaration of Use Restrictions in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT D-1 and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Outlot Declaration”); and
WHEREAS, Landlord desires to lease to Tenant and Tenant desires to lease and rent from Landlord, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Land and all improvements constructed or to be constructed thereon and all appurtenant rights thereto, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PREMISES AND TERM
SECTION 1.1. Landlord hereby leases and demises unto Tenant and Tenant hereby leases and takes from Landlord, for the Term (as defined in Section 1.2 hereof), at the rental, and upon the covenants, terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Land and the building (the “Building”) designated as the “Kohl’s Building” on EXHIBIT B, which when constructed will contain approximately eighty-eight thousand four hundred eight (88,408) square feet of Floor Area (as hereinafter defined), and all accessory improvements servicing the Land and the Building (hereinafter collectively called the “Premises”) together with all easements, rights, privileges and amenities otherwise appurtenant to the Land.
SECTION 1.2.
(a)The term of this Lease (the “Term”) shall commence on the Commencement Date (as defined in Section 1.2(b) hereof) and shall expire on January 31, 2024, subject to Tenant’s extension options and termination option hereinafter contained.
3
(b)The term “Commencement Date”, as used herein, shall mean the date on which Landlord substantially completes the Pad Preparation Work (as defined in Section 4.1(e)) and delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant pursuant to Section 4.2.
(c)Except as provided in Section 4.1(g) hereof, the term “Rent Commencement Date”, as used herein, shall mean the earlier to occur of (i) the Grand Opening Date (as defined in Section 1.2(d) hereof), or (ii) the following date: (A) October 10, 2003, if the Commencement Date occurs on or before January 31, 2003; (B) March 12, 2004, if the Commencement Date occurs after January 31, 2003 but on or before June 1, 2003; (C) April 16, 2004, if the Commencement Date occurs after June 1, 2003, but on or before July 1, 2003, (D) August 20, 2004, if the Commencement Date occurs after July 1, 2003, but on or before November 1, 2003, or (E) October 8, 2004, if the Commencement Date occurs after November 1, 2003, but on or before January 1, 2004.
(d)As used in this Lease, the term “Grand Opening Date” shall mean the earlier to occur of (i) the advertised date of Tenant’s grand opening promotional event for the Premises, or (ii) the date which is ten (10) days after the date on which Tenant first opens the Premises for business with the general public.
SECTION 1.3. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall be contingent upon Landlord and Tenant successfully negotiating and entering into a First Amendment to Reciprocal Ingress-Egress Easement Agreement with Home Depot, Primary Ground Lessor, Secondary Ground Lessor and HD Broadway LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, upon terms and conditions and in a form satisfactory to Tenant. If despite the use of best efforts, Landlord and Tenant have not obtained the First Amendment to Reciprocal Ingress-Egress Easement Agreement on or before January 24, 2003, then either party may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to the other party prior to the date on which the First Amendment to Reciprocal Ingress-Egress Easement Agreement is obtained.
ARTICLE II
OPTIONS TO EXTEND
SECTION 2.1. Tenant shall have, and is hereby given, eight (8) separate options to extend the initial Term upon the terms, covenants, and provisions herein contained, for successive periods of five (5) years each. Each such option shall be exercisable by Tenant giving notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intention to exercise the same provided Tenant is not then in default under this Lease, not less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration date of the initial Term, or the expiration date of the then current extended Term, as the case may be; provided that, if Tenant shall fail to give any such notice within the aforesaid time limit, Tenant’s right to exercise its option shall nevertheless continue until thirty (30) days after Landlord shall have given Tenant notice of Landlord’s election to terminate such option and Tenant may exercise such option at any time until the expiration of said thirty (30) day period or the end of the then existing Term, whichever occurs first.
SECTION 2.2. It is the intention of the parties to avoid forfeiture of Tenant’s rights to extend the Term under any of the options set forth in Section 2.1 through inadvertent failure to give notice of exercise thereof within the time limits prescribed. Accordingly, if Tenant shall fail to give notice to Landlord of Tenant’s election to extend the Term for any of the extended Terms and if Landlord shall fail to give notice to Tenant of Landlord’s election to terminate Tenant’s right to extend this Lease under the option applicable thereto, then and so often as such event shall occur, the Term shall be automatically extended from year to year upon all of the terms and conditions then in effect (provided, however, annual fixed rent shall be at the rate that would have been in effect had Tenant exercised its option to extend the Term), subject to Tenant’s right under such option to extend the Term for the remainder of the extended Term covered thereby and to Landlord’s right to place the thirty (30) day limit on such option by a notice in the manner provided in Section 2.1.
ARTICLE III
LEASE SUPPLEMENT
SECTION 3.1. Upon commencement of the Term, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a supplement to this Lease confirming the Commencement Date, the Rent Commencement Date, the termination date of the original Term, the Floor Area of the Building and such other matters as Landlord or Tenant may reasonably request.

endeavor in good faith to revise the plans and specifications to satisfy Tenant’s concerns. Notwithstanding Tenant’s approval of the plans and specifications for Landlord’s Work, Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Tenant shall have no liability whatsoever for any defects, errors or omissions in such plans and specifications nor any liability for the failure of such plans and specifications to comply with any law, ordinance, or regulation.

(c)The description of Landlord’s Work and the plans and specifications therefor, once approved by Tenant, shall not be modified without the written consent of Landlord and Tenant; provided, however, if Landlord desires to modify the plans and specifications for a portion of Landlord’s Work that is not situated within the Land, then (i) Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to the proposed modification and (ii) if the request for Tenant’s consent is properly addressed to Tenant and Tenant fails to respond to the request for consent within fifteen (15) days of Tenant’s receipt of same, Tenant shall be deemed to have consented to the proposed modification.

If Landlord does not substantially complete construction of the Pad Preparation Work by the Pad Delivery Date, subject to delays by reason of force majeure, as described in Section 26.11 hereof, but in any event on or before March 1, 2003, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving Landlord written notice of termination prior to the date on which Landlord substantially completes the Pad Preparation Work.
(f)Landlord shall use its best efforts to complete the balance of Landlord’s Work on or before July 12, 2003, subject to delays by reason of events described in Section 26.11 hereof (the “Delivery Date”). If Landlord does not substantially complete construction of the balance of Landlord’s Work on or before the Delivery Date, subject to delays by reason of events described in Section 26.11 hereof, but in any event on or before August 11, 2003, then unless Tenant elects to extend the Rent Commencement Date pursuant to Section 4.1(g) hereof, Tenant shall, as liquidated damages for Landlord’s failure to complete Landlord’s Work on or before the Delivery Date, be entitled to three (3) days free rent for each 24-hour period beyond the Delivery Date until substantial completion of Landlord’s Work. In addition, if Landlord does not substantially complete construction of Landlord’s Work on or before the Delivery Date, subject to delays by reason of events described in Section 26.11, then Tenant shall provide Landlord with notice of same. If within ten (10) days after the date of Tenant’s notice, Landlord’s Mortgagee has not elected to assume control of Landlord’s Work and thereafter diligently prosecute Landlord’s Work to completion, Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume control of Landlord’s Work and to proceed to complete Landlord’s Work with all reasonable dispatch. If Tenant elects to take over Landlord’s Work, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all costs incurred by Tenant in performing Landlord’s Work. Upon Tenant’s substantial completion of Landlord’s Work, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a detailed invoice of all costs incurred by Tenant to complete Landlord’s Work. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for such costs within thirty (30) days after its receipt of said invoice from Tenant. If Landlord fails to reimburse Landlord as provided hereunder, Tenant may offset against the annual fixed rent provided hereunder, without any limitation as specified in Section 18.4, the sums due from Landlord plus interest thereon (compounded monthly) at the Prime Rate (as hereinafter defined) plus four percent (4%) per annum. If Tenant assumes control of Landlord’s Work, the liquidated damages provided in this Section 4.1(f) shall not extend for more than three (3) weeks after the date on which Tenant assumes control of Landlord’s Work (i.e., a maximum of sixty-three (63) days free rent for delays occurring from and after the date Tenant assumes control of Landlord’s Work).
(g)If Landlord’s Work is substantially completed between (i) the day after the earlier to occur of the Delivery Date or August 11, 2003, and (ii) December 13, 2003, inclusive, Tenant may, by written notice to Landlord, elect to extend the Rent Commencement Date until the earlier to occur of the Grand Opening Date or March 12, 2004. If Landlord substantially completes Landlord’s Work between December 14, 2003 and January 17, 2004, inclusive, Tenant may, by written notice to Landlord, elect to extend the Rent Commencement Date until the earlier to occur of the Grand Opening Date or April 16, 2004. If Landlord substantially completes Landlord’s Work between January 18, 2004, and May 22, 2004, inclusive, Tenant may, by written notice to Landlord, elect to extend the Rent Commencement Date until the earlier to occur of the Grand Opening Date or August 20, 2004. If Landlord substantially completes Landlord’s Work between May 23, 2004, and July 10, 2004, inclusive, Tenant may, by written notice to Landlord, elect to extend the Rent Commencement Date until the earlier to occur of
6
the Grand Opening Date or October 8, 2004. The Rent Commencement Date shall not be made earlier under this Section 4.1(g).
(h)The date of completion of the Pad Preparation Work shall be the later to occur of (i) the date on which Landlord has obtained all of the Governmental Approvals (as defined in Section 26.18 hereof) or (ii) the date established by a certificate from Landlord’s civil engineer in the form of EXHIBIT C-1 attached hereto and made a part hereof that the Pad Preparation Work has been substantially completed and that Tenant’s building pad has been compacted in accordance with the requirements of this Lease.
(i)The date of substantial completion of Landlord’s Work shall be established and evidenced by a certificate of substantial completion executed by Landlord’s civil engineer confirming that Landlord’s Work has been substantially completed. Substantial completion shall be deemed to have been performed by Landlord when all of Landlord’s Work has been completed subject only to the completion of Landlord’s “punch list” items which do not interfere with Tenant’s use of the Building. Landlord shall complete all punchlist items within three (3) months after the date of substantial completion of Landlord’s Work, subject to delays by reason of events described in Section 26.11 and other events beyond Landlord’s control which may preclude Landlord from completing all punchlist items within said three (3) month period of time.
SECTION 4.2.
(a)Possession of the Premises shall be delivered by Landlord to Tenant upon substantial completion of the Pad Preparation Work. Prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant and its designees shall have the right to enter upon the Land to conduct inspections, studies and investigations of the Land; provided that such inspections, studies and investigations shall not unreasonably interfere with Landlord’s Work.
(b)Upon the completion by Landlord of the Pad Preparation Work, Tenant shall construct the Building in accordance with all applicable building codes and ordinances, and the Design Plans prepared by Tenant’s architect and approved by Landlord pursuant to this Section 4.2.
(c)The term “Design Plans” shall mean and include architectural drawings which identify (i) the exterior appearance, size and configuration of the Building, (ii) the roof, walls and structural components of the Building, (iii) the mechanical, electrical, plumbing and sprinkler systems for the Building, and (iv) the location of entrances and loading areas.
(d)Prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall submit the Design Plans to Landlord. Landlord shall have twenty (20) days from receipt of the Design Plans to review, approve or reject the same. If Landlord does not respond within twenty (20) days of receipt of the Design Plans, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the Design Plans. Landlord shall not object to the Design Plans unless and to the extent the same are (i) inconsistent with a prototype Kohl’s department store building or the design criteria attached hereto as EXHIBIT C-2, or (ii) not in compliance with applicable laws, ordinances and codes. If Landlord timely raises a valid objection to the Design Plans, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disagreement. If despite such good faith negotiations, Tenant is unable to secure Landlord’s approval of the Design Plans or Tenant is unable to secure a building permit and such other governmental approvals as are necessary to construct the Building within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord.
(e)Within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the sum of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) to reimburse Tenant for architectural fees and other soft costs. In addition, Landlord shall pay all impact fees and assessments attributable to Tenant’s tenancy or to the construction of the Kohl’s Building or the development of the Premises.
(f)After completion of Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord three (3) sets of drawings for the Building marked to reflect “as-built” conditions and three (3) sets of the operations and maintenance manuals for the Building, if any, and Landlord shall pay to Tenant any incremental out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant in obtaining same.
SECTION 4.3. Tenant shall have the right to install within the Building all trade fixtures and equipment which Tenant, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or desirable. Tenant shall select all personnel, labor, materials, equipment, services, utilities and other elements, enter into contracts therefor and determine and do any and all matters and things which
7
Tenant, in its sole discretion, shall deem necessary or advisable in connection with the construction and fixturing of the Building and related improvements (collectively, “Tenant’s Work”). Tenant’s Work shall be in substantial compliance with all laws (including but not limited to the Americans with Disabilities Act), ordinances, codes and regulations of all duly constitutional authorities. With respect to Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against any loss, liability or claim arising out of (i) any mechanic’s liens filed against the Premises, and (ii) the negligence or intentional misconduct of Tenant or its employees, agents or contractors.
SECTION 4.4. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant, for use by Tenant and its servants, agents, employees and independent contractors, on or in connection with the Tenant’s Work, all necessary or appropriate rights of access, ingress and egress to and from the Land during the course of Tenant’s Work and the right to do all such other things as may be incidental to Tenant’s Work. During the course of Tenant’s Work, Landlord shall make available to those working on or in the Premises, for the parking of trucks and delivery vehicles for the storage of materials and for temporary structures and other matters incidental to construction, such portions of the Premises as may be required for the expeditious performance of Tenant’s Work. Tenant and Landlord shall cooperate reasonably with one another in all ways so that Tenant does not unreasonably interfere with the progress of Landlord’s Work, so that Landlord does not unreasonably interfere with the progress of the Tenant’s Work, and so that Landlord’s Work and Tenant’s Work may proceed as expeditiously as possible. In particular, Landlord shall make available to Tenant for use as a construction staging area the area designated on EXHIBIT B but Landlord shall have no obligation to maintain the staging area or the temporary construction access roads once delivered to Tenant. Tenant shall promptly repair any damage to the Land caused by Tenant’s Work.
SECTION 4.5 Landlord shall furnish Tenant with sufficient design data in the form of drawings, specifications, schedules and such other documents as Tenant shall reasonably request, of the Land and development of the Premises, to permit Tenant to review Landlord’s Work and coordinate Landlord’s Work with Tenant’s Work. Documents and information to be furnished to Tenant shall consist of, but shall not necessarily be limited to, the following materials:

(f)Sign Criteria as required by all applicable governmental authorities for signs to be located on the Premises.
(g)Soil test boring results and soil reports and evaluations.
(h)Storm drainage design data and approval requirements for both on site and off site improvements.

ARTICLE VII
TAXES
SECTION 7.1. Throughout the Term (except the portion of the Term occurring prior to the Rent Commencement Date), Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, all that portion of real estate taxes which shall be assessed and levied during the Term and any renewal thereof (except for the portion of the Term occurring prior to the Rent Commencement Date) against the Land and the improvements thereon properly allocated (“Tenant’s Allocable Share”) to Tenant. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Land to be separately assessed for real estate tax purposes (including, without limitation, the subdivision of the Land into a separately subdivided lot). For all tax years during the Term for which the Land is separately assessed for real estate tax purposes, Tenant shall pay directly to the taxing authority, on or before the due date therefor, one hundred percent (100%) of the real estate taxes levied and assessed upon the Premises and Tenant shall have no further liability to Landlord for the payment of real estate taxes assessed and levied upon any other portion of the Land or the improvements thereon for such years. If the Land is not separately assessed, Tenant’s Allocable Share of real estate taxes assessed against the Land or the improvements thereon shall be determined from notes and records maintained by the tax assessor for the municipality charged with the responsibility for real estate tax assessment of the Premises as to the value of Land. If no notes or records are maintained by the tax assessor as to Land or if such notes or records are inconclusive as to the value of the Land, Tenant’s Allocable Share of real estate taxes assessed against the Land and the improvements thereon shall be equal to the sum of (a) the real estate taxes assessed against the land in the Premises multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the square footage of the land in the Land and the denominator of which is the total square footage of the land in the larger tax parcel in which the Premises are situated; and (b) the real estate taxes assessed against the improvements in the larger tax parcel multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Floor Area of the Building and the denominator of which is the Floor Area of all buildings in the larger tax parcel.
SECTION 7.2. If the Land is not separately assessed, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Allocable Share of such real estate taxes to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of Landlord’s itemized statement showing the real estate taxes due and the calculation of Tenant’s Allocable Share thereof, but in no event shall Tenant be required to make any such payment more than ten (10) days prior to the date such tax is required to be paid without penalty to the taxing authority; and provided, further, that if such real estate taxes may be paid on an installment basis, Tenant shall not be required to pay more than Tenant’s Allocable Share of the installment then due. All such payments shall be held by Landlord in trust solely for the purpose of paying real estate taxes on the Land and improvements constituting the Premises and for no other purpose. The term “real estate taxes” as used in this Section shall not include any capital stock, franchise, estate, inheritance, devolution, succession, transfer, gift or income tax or tax of a similar nature which is or may become payable by Landlord or which may be imposed against Landlord or against the rents payable hereunder or upon the income or profits of Landlord by reason of any law now in force or hereafter enacted. The term “real estate taxes” shall, however, include special assessments which are not attributable to Landlord’s Work or otherwise attributable to work commenced prior to the Rent Commencement Date and, if payable in installments, shall be charged against Tenant’s Allocable Share of taxes only to the extent such installments
13
are payable during the Term commencing with the Rent Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “real estate taxes”, as used in this Lease shall include (i) any taxes based upon rents received by Landlord under this Lease (“Rent Tax”) hereafter enacted if such taxes are enacted specifically in substitution for or specifically in addition to real estate taxes (provided, however, that if the amount or rate of such Rent Tax levied against the income of Landlord as a substitute for such real estate taxes shall be increased by reason of any other income, receipts or property owned by Landlord, then and in that event, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay such increased amount, but only such Rent Tax as Landlord would be obligated to pay in case Landlord derived no income from any source other than the Premises and owned no property other than the Premises), and (ii) any sales tax privilege tax on the rent payable by Landlord to Secondary Ground Lessor under the Secondary Ground Lease, but only to the extent the payment of such tax is an obligation of (i) Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Secondary Ground Lease, and (ii) Secondary Ground Lessor pursuant to the terms of the Primary Ground Lease. For any partial tax year falling within the Term, real estate taxes shall be prorated based on the number of days in such tax period falling within the Term (excluding portions of the Term occurring prior to the Rent Commencement Date).
SECTION 7.3. Throughout the Term, Landlord shall, except as otherwise provided herein, pay, or cause to be paid, all real estate taxes, assessments and other taxes, duties and charges in the same category imposed by any governmental or public authority which shall be assessed or levied against the Premises or any part thereof or any buildings or other improvements thereon or any appurtenances thereto or fixtures (other than Tenant’s trade fixtures) therein or any tax, charge or duty which may be imposed, levied or be or become a charge in lieu of any such present tax, charge or duty (herein collectively called “taxes”). All such taxes shall be paid before they become delinquent and Landlord agrees to exhibit to Tenant receipted bills or other evidence of payment of such taxes from time to time at Tenant’s request.
SECTION 7.4. Tenant may contest in good faith by appropriate proceedings, or in any other manner permitted by law, at Tenant’s expense, in Landlord’s name, any taxes assessed or levied against the Land (or against the Land and the improvements thereon if the Land is not separately assessed) and Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant and to execute any documents reasonably required for such purpose. If the Land is not separately assessed, Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord advising Landlord that Tenant intends to contest such taxes and request Landlord’s participation in the cost of the contest. Landlord shall be deemed to have elected to participate in the cost of the contest unless within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice, Landlord delivers written notice to Tenant declining to participate in the cost of the contest. Such contest may include appeals from any judgments, decrees or orders until a final determination shall be made by a court or governmental department or authority having final jurisdiction in the matter. Notwithstanding such contest, Tenant shall pay such taxes not later than sixty (60) days before the Land, or any portion thereof, may become subject to a sale by governmental authority by reason of the nonpayment thereof, and in time to avoid acceleration of the due date of any mortgage by reason of such nonpayment. Upon the final determination of any such contest by a court or governmental department or authority having final jurisdiction in the matter, Tenant shall pay the same, together with such fines, interest, penalties, costs and charges as may, in accordance with such determination, be payable in connection therewith. Any tax refund received in connection with such contest shall belong to Tenant less reasonable costs, expenses and out of pocket attorneys’ fees, if any, paid by Landlord or by Landlord’s mortgagees and less any sums for taxes paid by Landlord or Landlord’s mortgagee pursuant hereto. All costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) actually incurred and paid by Tenant in connection with such contest, shall be borne by Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Land is not a separately assessed parcel, then (a) if Landlord elects or is deemed to have elected to participate in the cost of the contest, then (i) Tenant shall be responsible for only Tenant’s Allocable Share of the costs and expenses referred to in this Section 7.4 and Landlord shall be responsible for the remainder of such costs and expenses, and (ii) Tenant shall be entitled to only Tenant’s Allocable Share of the refund received and Landlord shall be entitled to the remainder of such refund and (b) if Landlord declines to participate in the cost of the contest, then (i) Tenant shall be responsible for all costs and expenses referred to in this Section 7.4 and Landlord shall have no responsibility for such costs and expenses; and (ii) Tenant shall be entitled to the entire refund or reduction with respect to the larger tax parcel and Landlord shall not be entitled to any portion thereof.
SECTION 7.5. Written evidence of the payment of real estate taxes and assessments shall be furnished by Tenant to Landlord and Landlord’s mortgage lender upon written request therefor.
ARTICLE VIII
RIGHT OF ENTRY
SECTION 8.1. Landlord, Primary Ground Lessor and Landlord’s mortgage lender reserve the right to enter the Premises during normal business hours upon at least forty-eight (48) hours prior written notice to Tenant to inspect the same. Landlord further reserves the right, upon at least forty-eight (48) hours prior written notice to Tenant (except in the case of
14
emergencies, in which event Landlord shall only be obligated to give such notice as is practical under the circumstances), to enter the Premises for the purpose of maintaining, repairing or replacing those portions of the Premises for which Landlord is responsible hereunder and for the purpose of performing any obligations of Tenant hereunder, if any, which Tenant has failed to perform; provided that such entry to the full extent practicable shall be limited to such times as Tenant is not open for business with the public and provided, further, that access to the Premises shall not be denied Tenant nor shall the business of Tenant be interfered with unreasonably. If any maintenance, repairs or replacements to the foundation or structural components of the improvements comprising the Premises shall be so extensive that, in Tenant’s reasonable discretion, it is not commercially practicable for Tenant to conduct business upon all or any portion of the Premises, then unless the maintenance, repairs or replacements are required as a result of Tenant’s negligence, there shall be a just abatement of rent for the period during which Tenant’s business is so interrupted.
ARTICLE IX
UTILITIES
SECTION 9.1. Commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing through the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant agrees to pay directly to the respective utility company all charges for water, natural gas, electricity and other utility services furnished to or consumed by Tenant in the Premises. Landlord shall, as part of Landlord’s Work, cause separate meters to be installed for the furnishing of all utilities to the Building. Tenant’s obligations under this Article IX shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE X
INSURANCE AND RESTORATION
SECTION 10.1. Tenant, at all times during the Term, shall cause the Building to be insured against loss or damage by fire, lightning, and such other risks as are from time to time included in “all risks” endorsements in the State of Arizona, in an amount and form so that the proceeds thereof are sufficient to provide for actual replacement in full of the Building (said amount may exclude foundation and excavation costs and costs of underground flues, pipes and drains), as part of one or more policies of insurance. Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagees shall be named as additional loss payees on the insurance obtained by Tenant under this Section 10.1.
SECTION 10.2. Commencing with the date Tenant or Landlord executes this Lease, whichever is later, Tenant agrees, at no expense to Landlord, to maintain or cause to be maintained commercial general public liability insurance against claims for contractual liability as well as personal injury or death and property damage occurring upon, in or about the Premises and the Common Area, such insurance in each case to afford protection to the limit of not less than $5,000,000 for combined single limit for personal injuries, including bodily injury or death (which limit may be included in an excess lines policy), and property damage to any number of persons arising out of any one occurrence.
SECTION 10.3. All insurance provided for in this Article X shall be effected under valid and enforceable policies issued by insurers of recognized responsibility with a minimum A. M. Best Company, Inc. (or any successor rating organization) general policyholder’s Rating of A-/X or better, which shall contain a deductible of no more than $100,000.00 per occurrence and shall be primary and noncontributing. Each party shall provide self-insurance for any deductible carried by such party. Any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant may be self-insured in whole or in part if Tenant shall then have and thereafter maintain a net worth of at least $100,000,000. Any insurance required to be maintained by Landlord or Tenant hereunder may be taken out under a blanket insurance policy or policies covering other premises, property or insureds in addition to the Premises and the parties hereto, provided such policy or policies otherwise comply with this Article X and provide for a minimum limit available to the Premises equal to the insurance amounts required hereunder. If Tenant shall elect to self-insure, Landlord shall have all the benefits provided in this Article X that it would have if Tenant carried the required insurance with no deductible. The original of the initial policies or renewal policies, if any, shall be delivered to the named insured and certificates thereof shall be delivered to the each additional insured and its mortgagee. In the case of self-insurance, a certificate stating Tenant has elected to self-insure, and if the information is not publicly available, an affidavit of net worth signed by an officer of Tenant, as the case may be, shall be delivered to Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagee. Any liability insurance required to be maintained by a party hereunder shall name the other party and the other party’s mortgagees as additional insureds as their respective interests may appear. Any policy required by this Article shall provide that such policy shall not be cancelled or materially changed without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party and the other party’s mortgagee. If either party fails to maintain insurance in accordance with the provisions of this Article and
15
fails to correct such default after reasonable notice from the other party, the non-defaulting party may purchase such insurance for the defaulting party and the defaulting party shall pay the cost thereof and the interest thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant may self insure only if Tenant (or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder) has a Moody’s Investors Service rating of “Baa2” or better (or comparable National Statistical Rating Organization rating).
SECTION 10.4. In the event of damage to or destruction of the whole or any substantial part of the improvements comprising the Premises by fire or any other casualty during the Term, such that it would be commercially unreasonable or unfeasible for Tenant, in Tenant’s reasonable discretion, to conduct its business upon the Premises, a just proportion of Tenant’s rent due under this Lease reflecting the adverse effect on Tenant shall be suspended and abated until the damaged portion of the Premises is rebuilt and refixtured. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.5 hereof, in the event of damage to or destruction of the whole or any substantial part of the improvements comprising the Premises by fire or any other casualty during the Term, Tenant shall repair and restore such improvements to the same condition as existed immediately prior to the date of such casualty. All proceeds of insurance Tenant receives from insurers pursuant to this Article X shall be made available to Tenant for purposes of repair and restoration of the Premises pursuant to this Section 10.4; provided, however, if Tenant fails to perform the repairs and restoration as required by this Section 10.4 and Landlord elects to perform same pursuant to Section 18.2(c) hereof, the unused proceeds of insurance Tenant receives from insurers pursuant to this Article X shall be made available to Landlord for purposes of repair and restoration. All such repairs and restoration shall be performed in a commercially reasonable time and in a manner and quality consistent with the terms and conditions of this Lease.
SECTION 10.5. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if more than thirty-three percent (33%) of the Floor Area of the Building is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty and the time to restore the damage or destruction (as reasonably estimated by an independent architect or engineer acceptable to Tenant and Landlord) is greater than two hundred seventy (270) days (subject to matters referred to in Section 26.11), then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving Landlord written notice of such termination within forty-five (45) days after the date of such casualty, specifying a termination date of at least thirty (30) days and not more than ninety (90) days after the date of Tenant’s notice of termination. If Tenant terminates this Lease pursuant to this Section 10.5, Tenant shall make all insurance proceeds relating to the casualty to the Premises available to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after receipt of same from the insurer. If Tenant does not give notice of termination within such forty-five (45) day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived such right of termination and Tenant shall repair and restore the Premises in accordance with the terms hereof.
ARTICLE XI

QUIET ENJOYMENT, REPRESENTATIONS AND TITLE INSURANCE
SECTION 15.1. Landlord covenants, warrants and represents to Tenant that it has full right and power to execute and perform this Lease and to grant the estate demised herein, and Landlord further covenants that Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises and all rights, easements, appurtenances and privileges belonging or in any way appertaining thereto, during the full Term, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except the Permitted Encumbrances (as defined in Section 15.6 hereto).
SECTION 15.2. Within thirty (30) days after the date of this Lease, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant an environmental assessment report for the Premises (“Environmental Report”), analyzing the existence or likelihood of existence of any Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter defined) and compliance by the Premises with all applicable environmental laws, rules, regulations and orders of any applicable governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Premises (“Environmental Regulations”). As used in this Lease, “Hazardous Material(s)” shall mean any hazardous, toxic or radioactive substance, material, matter or waste which is or becomes regulated by any federal, state or local law, ordinance, order, rule, regulation, code or any other governmental restriction or requirement, and shall include asbestos, petroleum products and the terms “Hazardous Substance” and “Hazardous Waste” as defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) as amended, 42 U.S.C. §9601 et seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”), as amended, 42 U.S.C. §6901 et seq., and all Arizona environmental protection statutes. If the Environmental Report indicates that there does exist upon the Premises any Hazardous Materials or other life or environmental threatening conditions, or that the Premises are not in compliance with any applicable Environmental Regulations, which in Tenant’s reasonable opinion may materially impair Tenant’s ability to conduct its business upon the Premises, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving Landlord written notice of termination within thirty (30) days after the date of receipt of the Environmental Report. Landlord represents and covenants to Tenant that to the best of Landlord’s knowledge,
18
Landlord does not know of the existence of any Hazardous Materials (except as may be disclosed in the Environmental Report) within the Premises and that Landlord’s Work does not and shall not contain any Hazardous Materials (except as used in accordance with Environmental Regulations) and/or asbestos and that all requirements with respect to Environmental Regulations have been and will be complied with and satisfied in connection with Landlord’s Work. Landlord shall indemnify and save Tenant harmless from all claims, liens, losses, damages and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising out of Landlord’s breach of this environmental representation and covenant. This indemnity shall not apply to any first mortgage lender of Landlord which becomes Landlord under the Lease through a foreclosure action or deed in lieu of foreclosure. The obligations of Landlord hereunder shall survive the termination of this Lease.
SECTION 15.3. If after the Commencement Date it is determined that there are Hazardous Materials on, upon or within the Premises or any other environmental conditions not caused by Tenant in violation of any Environmental Regulations or which result in action by either local, state or federal environmental agencies, then if in Tenant’s reasonable opinion such violation and/or action materially impairs Tenant’s ability to conduct business upon the Premises and Tenant ceases to operate from the Premises as a direct result thereof, all rent and charges payable by Tenant hereunder shall abate during such period as Tenant’s ability to so operate is materially impaired. If Landlord fails to diligently undertake remediation, or if Landlord fails, after exercising diligent efforts, to remediate the condition within six (6) months after Landlord becomes aware of the condition, Tenant shall have the right to terminate all of its rights and obligations hereunder by giving written notice to Landlord at any time after the expiration of such six (6) month period and so long as such condition continues.
SECTION 15.4. Except for Excluded Materials (hereinafter defined), Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, cause or permit knowingly or unknowingly, any Hazardous Material (hereinafter defined) to be brought or remain upon, kept, used, discharged, leaked, or emitted in or about, or treated at the Premises. “Excluded Materials” shall mean Hazardous Materials (1) whose storage, disposal or presence on, in or under the Premises does not constitute a violation of applicable laws or regulations; (2) which may be present in: (i) paints, glues, fuels, photocopy equipment, supplies, photographic chemicals and supplies, building materials, maintenance supplies, cleaning agents and solvents; (ii) inventory held for sale at retail; (iii) oil, gasoline or other fluid deposits released from passenger cars or maintenance vehicles parked at the Premises; or (iv) fertilizer, herbicides, insecticides, and pesticides applied by Tenant within the Premises; (3) in quantities commonly stored, found or maintained for similar uses by tenants in retail shopping centers; and (4) which are not used for manufacturing purposes. Should Landlord consent in writing to Tenant bringing, using, storing or treating any Hazardous Material(s) in or upon the Premises or if Tenant is allowed to bring, use, store or treat Hazardous Materials in or upon the Premises pursuant to this Section, Tenant shall strictly obey and adhere to any and all federal, state or local laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations, codes or any other governmental restrictions or requirements (including but not limited to those federal and state statutes referred to in this section) which in any way regulate, govern or impact Tenant’s possession, use, storage, treatment or disposal of said Hazardous Material(s). In addition, Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that (1) Tenant shall apply for and remain in compliance with any and all federal, state or local permits in regard to Hazardous Materials; (2) Tenant shall report to any and all applicable governmental authorities any release of reportable quantities of any Hazardous Material(s) as required by any and all federal, state or local laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations, codes or any other governmental restrictions or requirements; (3) Tenant, within fifteen (15) days of receipt, shall send to Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagee a copy of any notice, order, inspection report, or other document issued by any governmental authority relevant to Tenant’s compliance status with environmental or health and safety laws; and, (4) Tenant shall remove from the Premises all Hazardous Materials (other than the Excluded Materials) brought upon the Premises by Tenant at the termination of this Lease. Tenant shall forever defend, completely indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, its mortgagees, affiliates and their respective directors, shareholders, officers, and agents (the “Landlord Indemnitees”) from and against, and shall reimburse Landlord and the Landlord Indemnitees for, any and all liabilities, losses, costs, damages, demands, fines, expenses, suits, judgments, injunctive relief, claims, injuries to person, property or natural resources, actions or causes of action arising in connection with the release of any Hazardous Materials by Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors, licensees, subtenants and concessionaires, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, known or unknown, material or immaterial, regardless of when such release shall have occurred or when the presence of any Hazardous Materials shall have been discovered. The foregoing indemnity includes, without limitation: (A) all costs of removal, remediation of any kind and disposal of Hazardous Materials; (B) all costs of determining whether the Premises are in compliance, and of causing the Premises to be in compliance, with all applicable federal, state or local laws, rules, ordinances or regulations governing Hazardous Materials; (C) all costs associated with claims for damages to persons, property or natural resources arising from a release of Hazardous Materials by Tenant; and (D) Landlord’s or the Landlord Indemnitees’ attorneys’ and consultants’ fees arising from a release of Hazardous Materials by Tenant. The obligations of Tenant hereunder shall survive the termination of this Lease. The rights of Landlord hereunder shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies of Landlord at law, in equity or by statute.

SECTION 15.5. Without limitation of any other covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Lease, Landlord represents and warrants as an inducement to Tenant to enter into this Lease, that no leases or other agreements affecting the Land conflict with this Lease or prohibit or restrict (i) the construction of the Building and Common Area; or (ii) the use or occupancy of the Building as a department store or for other retail purposes, or the use of the Common Area as contemplated in this Lease (“Intended Use”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord makes no representation or warranty regarding the effect of the Home Depot REA on this Lease, Tenant hereby acknowledging that Tenant has made an independent evaluation of the same.
SECTION 15.6. Within forty five (45) days after the effective date of the Primary Ground Lease, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, at Landlord’s sole cost, a leasehold owner’s title insurance policy, insuring Tenant’s leasehold interest under this Lease, for $1,500,000.00 of coverage, to be free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except (i) those encumbrances which do not impair the Intended Use (in Tenant’s reasonable opinion) including utility easements necessary for Landlord to develop the Land for the Intended Use; (ii) the Primary Ground Lease; (iii) Secondary Ground Lease; (iv) the Home Depot REA; and (iv) taxes for the year of closing and subsequent years (collectively, “Permitted Encumbrances”), written by a title insurance company licensed by the State of Arizona. If the title policy has any exceptions other than the Permitted Encumbrances which are unacceptable to Tenant (“Title Defects”), Tenant shall notify Landlord of same within thirty (30) days of receipt of the title policy. Landlord shall take such actions as necessary to have the Title Defects removed from the title policy, or otherwise remedy the Title Defects to the satisfaction of Tenant, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense. If Landlord is unable to remedy the Title Defects prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant may, at its option, either (A) terminate this Lease; or (B) accept the Premises subject to the incurred Title Defects.
SECTION 15.7. Within thirty (30) days after the effective date of the Primary Ground Lease, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, at Landlord’s sole cost, a survey of the Land prepared by a surveyor licensed by the State of Arizona and certified to Tenant and the title insurer providing the leasehold owner’s policy, which survey is to be prepared in accordance with (i) the accuracy requirements of an Urban Survey as defined in the Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA Land Title Surveys of the American Land Title Association; and (ii) any reasonable requirements of the title insurer necessary to remove the survey exception from the title policy issued pursuant to Section 15.6.

CONDEMNATION
SECTION 17.1. If all of the Premises shall be sold to or taken by any governmental authority under its power of condemnation or threat thereof, this Lease shall terminate on the date of the vesting of title to the condemned property or on the date of the taking of possession of such property by the condemning authority, whichever shall first occur (“Taking”).

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
SECTION 18.1. If any one or more of the following events occur, then Tenant shall be deemed to be in default under this Lease:
(a)If Tenant fails to pay any rent or other charges required to be paid by Tenant when the same shall become due and payable hereunder, and such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after written notice is sent by Landlord to Tenant informing Tenant of such failure;
(b)If Tenant fails to perform or observe any term or condition of this Lease (other than as set forth in subparagraph (a) above), and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice is sent by Landlord to Tenant informing Tenant of such failure; provided, however, that if the failure set forth in Landlord’s notice is such that it requires more than thirty (30) days to correct, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder if Tenant (i) promptly and diligently commences curing the failure within thirty (30) days after written notice is sent by Landlord to Tenant informing Tenant of such failure; and (ii) diligently prosecutes the cure to completion; and/or
(c)If any execution, levy, attachment or other legal process of law shall occur upon Tenant’s goods, fixtures, or interest in the Premises and the same is not vacated or dismissed within ninety (90) days after the date of such filing or attachment.
SECTION 18.2. In the event that Tenant is in default under this Lease, as provided in the preceding Section 18.1, then Landlord may pursue any or all of the following remedies in addition to all other rights and remedies provided at law or in equity:
(a)Landlord may terminate this Lease and forthwith repossess the Premises and remove all persons or property therefrom, and be entitled to recover forthwith as damages a sum of money equal to the total of (i) the reasonable cost of recovering the Premises; (ii) the accrued and unpaid rentals owed at the time of termination, plus interest thereon from due date at the lesser of three percent (3%) plus the Prime Rate (as defined in Section 18.2(c) hereof) or the maximum rate permitted by law; (iii) the discounted net present value of the balance of the annual fixed rent for the remainder of the Term (discounted at a rate equal to one hundred fifty (150) basis points over the ten (10) year treasury bill rate in effect at the time of Tenant’s default) minus the then Fair Market rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the Term; and (iv) any other sum of money and damages owed by Tenant to Landlord; or
(b)Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right of possession and may repossess the Premises without demand or notice of any kind to Tenant and without terminating this Lease, in which event Landlord may relet the same for the account of Tenant for such rent and upon such terms as shall be satisfactory to Landlord. For the purpose of such reletting Landlord is authorized to make repairs, changes, alterations or additions to the Premises to make same relettable; and (i) if Landlord shall be unable to relet the Premises; or (ii) if the same are relet and sufficient sum shall not be realized from such reletting (after paying (A) the unpaid rentals due hereunder earned but unpaid at the time of reletting plus interest thereon at the lesser of three percent (3%) plus the Prime Rate or at the maximum rate permitted by applicable law; (B) the costs of recovering possession; (C) all of the costs and expenses of reletting, including
21
decorations, repairs, changes, alterations and additions by Landlord; and (D) the expense of the collection of the rent accruing therefrom) to satisfy the rent and all other charges provided for in this Lease to be paid by Tenant, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages a sum equal to the amount of the rent and other expenses payable by Tenant for such period or periods, or if the Premises have been relet, Tenant shall satisfy and pay any such deficiency upon demand therefor from time to time and Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums falling due under the terms of this Article from time to time on one or more occasions without Landlord being obligated to wait until expiration of the Term. Such reletting shall not be construed as an election on the part of Landlord to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant by Landlord. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach. Failure of Landlord to declare any default immediately upon occurrence thereof, or delay in taking any action in connection therewith, shall not waive such default, but Landlord shall have the right to declare any such default at any time thereafter. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate Landlord’s damages resulting from Tenant’s default hereunder.
(c)In addition to the foregoing rights of Landlord, if Tenant shall be in default hereunder, Landlord shall have the option, but not the obligation, to cure the act or failure constituting such default for the account of and at the expense of Tenant. Landlord shall provide Tenant with ten (10) days written notice prior to curing any default, provided, however, that no such notice shall be required for emergency repairs. If Landlord has already terminated this Lease pursuant to this Article, Landlord’s cure or attempt to cure of any act or failure constituting a default by Tenant (which act or failure occasioned the termination of this Lease) shall not result in a waiver of such termination by Landlord. Tenant hereby agrees to pay Landlord interest, at a rate equal to three percent (3%) plus the “Prime Rate,” but not in excess of the maximum legal rate, for all sums paid by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this subsection (c). As used herein, “Prime Rate” shall mean the base rate on corporate loans at large U.S. money center commercial banks as published from time to time by The Wall Street Journal, adjusted with each change in such published rate.
(d)The obligation of Tenant to pay damages to Landlord and the obligation of Landlord to pay damages to Tenant shall survive the termination of this Lease.
SECTION 18.3. Any mention in this Lease of any particular remedy shall not preclude Landlord from exercising any other remedy, in law or in equity. The rights and remedies of Landlord set forth herein shall be in addition to any other right and remedy now or hereafter provided by law, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. No action or inaction by Landlord shall constitute a waiver of a default by Tenant or termination of this Lease, and no waiver of a default by Tenant or termination of this Lease shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by Landlord.
SECTION 18.4.
(a)If Landlord fails to perform or observe any of the obligations on Landlord’s part to be performed or observed pursuant to this Lease, and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is sent by Tenant to Landlord and its mortgagee (provided Tenant has received written notice of the name and address of Landlord’s mortgagee and a request that notices be so served on such mortgagee) informing Landlord of such failure, then Landlord shall be deemed to be in default under this Lease; provided, however, that if the failure set forth in Tenant’s notice is such that it requires more than thirty (30) days to correct, Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder if Landlord (i) promptly and diligently commences to cure the failure within thirty (30) days after written notice is sent by Tenant to Landlord informing Landlord of such failure; and (ii) diligently prosecutes the cure to completion following the expiration of the original thirty (30) day period set forth herein. Upon such default by Landlord, Tenant may, in addition to any remedies available to it at law or in equity, perform the same for and on behalf of Landlord, the cost of which performance, upon the proper payment thereof, together with all interest and penalties necessarily paid in connection therewith and any and all other damages incurred by Tenant as a result of any such default, shall be paid to Tenant by Landlord upon demand, with interest thereon at the lesser of (i) three percent (3%) plus the “Prime Rate” or (ii) the maximum rate then permitted by law, from the date of each expenditure and/or incurrance or, at the continuing option of Tenant, the same may (in whole or in part), with interest as aforesaid, be deducted from annual fixed rent (not to exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the monthly installment of annual fixed rent for the remaining Term) which may be due or become due thereafter and, if the remaining Term is not sufficient to enable Tenant to recover such amount over such remaining Term, then Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term upon the same terms and conditions until such amount is recovered in full by Tenant. If the default involves the failure of Landlord to pay monies due to Tenant under this Lease, interest shall accrue on such past due sums from and after the expiration of the thirty (30) day cure period set forth above at the interest rate set forth above, and such sums may be deducted from fixed rent, percentage rent and other charges to the extent permitted above.
22
(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section and regardless of whether an event of Landlord’s default shall have occurred, such curative action by Tenant may be taken without any notice if Tenant, in its good faith opinion, reasonably believes the condition complained of constitutes an emergency.
(c)In order to effectuate the curing of any failure referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 18.4, Landlord shall take any and all action (including, without limitation, the execution of appropriate documents) necessary in order to assign, to the extent permitted by law, to Tenant the right to take action to effectuate such curing for and on behalf of Landlord.
(d)If a court finally determines that Tenant has improperly exercised its self-help and/or offset rights under subparagraphs (a) and/or (b) of this Section 18.4, Tenant shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of such final judgment to pay to Landlord any sums found by such court to be due from Tenant to Landlord, together with interest on such sums at an annual rate equal to the “Prime Rate” plus three percent (3%), before Landlord shall have the right to declare a termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE XIX
TENANT’S USE OF PREMISES
SECTION 19.1. Tenant may use the Premises as a Kohl’s department store or any other use permitted under applicable zoning ordinances and the Home Depot REA; provided, however, Tenant shall not use the Premises for any use described on EXHIBIT I attached hereto without Landlord’s prior written consent. The foregoing language or any other language in this Lease shall not be construed to obligate Tenant to operate a store within the Premises.
ARTICLE XX
LEASEHOLD MORTGAGES
SECTION 20.1. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant is hereby given the right, without Landlord’s prior consent, to mortgage its interest in this Lease, Tenant’s interest in the Building and improvements on the Premises, or any part thereof or property therein, and any sublease, under one or more leasehold mortgage(s) and to assign this Lease and any sublease as collateral security for such mortgages, upon the condition that all rights acquired under such mortgages shall be subject to each and all of the covenants, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Lease, and to all rights and interests of Landlord herein, none of which covenants, conditions or restrictions is or shall be waived by Landlord by reason of the right given to so mortgage such interest in this Lease, except as may be expressly provided in this Article XX.
SECTION 20.2. If Tenant shall mortgage this leasehold pursuant to the provisions hereof, and if the holder(s) of any such mortgage(s) shall send to Landlord a true copy thereof, together with written notice specifying the name and address of the mortgagee(s) and the pertinent recording data with respect to such mortgage(s), Landlord agrees that so long as any such leasehold mortgage(s) shall remain unsatisfied, the following provisions shall apply:
(a)There shall be no cancellation, surrender or modification of this Lease by joint action of Landlord and Tenant without the prior consent in writing of the leasehold mortgagee(s);
(b)Landlord shall, upon serving Tenant with any notice of default, simultaneously serve a copy of such notice upon the leasehold mortgagee(s). The leasehold mortgagee(s) shall thereupon have the same period, after service of such notice upon it, as is allowed to Tenant, to remedy or cause to be remedied the defaults complained of, and Landlord shall accept such performance by or at the instigation of the leasehold mortgagee(s) in response to any such notice of default as if the same had been performed by Tenant;
(c)Anything herein contained notwithstanding, while such leasehold mortgage(s) remains unsatisfied, or until written notice of satisfaction is given by the holder(s) thereof to Landlord, if any default shall occur, which, pursuant to any provision of this Lease, entitles Landlord to terminate this Lease, and if before the expiration of fifteen (15) days from the date of service of notice of termination upon such leasehold mortgagee(s), such leasehold mortgagee(s) shall have notified Landlord of its desire to nullify such notice and shall have paid to Landlord all rent and other payments herein provided for and then in default, and shall have complied or commenced the work of complying with all of the other requirements of this Lease except as provided in paragraph (g) of this Section 20.2, if any are then in default, and shall prosecute the same to completion with reasonable diligence, then in such event Landlord shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease and any notice of termination theretofore given shall be void and of no effect.

4. Tenant Lease Rights.
(a) Upon Tenant’s written request, at no additional cost to Landlord, Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant’s pursuit of signage for any subtenant within the Premises (each a “Subtenant”) in the areas limited to (i) all the exterior walls of the Building, and/or (ii) use of any available panel position on the Shopping Center signs, or pursuit of independent and new monument or pylon signs, and/or (iii) splitting the existing signage available to Tenant. Without limiting or modifying Tenant’s rights under the Existing Lease, if necessary, Landlord shall, at no additional cost to Landlord, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to amend (or obtain any required consent or waiver under) any reciprocal easement agreement, declaration or other agreement in effect in the Shopping Center as of the Effective Date that is superior to the Lease and to which Tenant and the Premises are subject to or bound by, if any (the “Existing Restrictions”), to permit any sign modification or construction proposed by Tenant pursuant to this Section 4(a), as described hereinabove, and/or to cooperate with Tenant in securing any additional permits or authority necessary from time to time for any such work.
(b) Upon Tenant’s written request, Landlord shall execute and deliver to a Subtenant under an Approved Sublease (as hereinafter defined) an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and such Subtenant to the effect that, upon any termination of the Lease by Landlord, such Approved Sublease and the rights of the Subtenant thereunder shall not be disturbed by Landlord but shall continue in full force and effect and Landlord shall assume the obligations of the landlord under the Approved Sublease (a “Non-Disturbance Agreement”). As used herein, an “Approved Sublease” is a sublease where: (i) the Subtenant (A) pays more in fixed rent on a per square foot basis than Tenant pays under the Lease, (B) has a market capitalization that exceeds Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000.00), and (C) operates a business that has thirty (30) or more stores operating under the same or similar trade name; and (ii) the Approved Sublease is on terms and conditions which are no more onerous to the sublandlord thereunder than those pertaining to Landlord under the Lease or if the terms and conditions of the Approved Sublease are more onerous, then the Subtenant shall be required to reimburse Landlord for any additional costs related to Landlord’s performance of any added obligation, and (iii) the Approved Sublease is for no less than 20,000 square feet of the Kohl’s Building.
5. Prohibited Uses Applicable to the Premises. Anything in the Existing Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, including anything to the contrary in Section 19.1 thereof or on Exhibit I of the Existing Lease which is applicable to Tenant
71
or the Premises, Landlord agrees that, as between Landlord and Tenant, any use restriction in the Lease that would restrict or prevent Tenant or any assignee or Subtenant from operating any Additional Permitted Uses (as hereinafter defined) will no longer be applicable to Tenant or the Premises. Landlord further agrees to cooperate with Tenant and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver of any of the use restrictions under any lease or Existing Restrictions that would prevent Tenant, or any assignee or Subtenant, from operating any of the Additional Permitted Uses in the Premises. As used herein, the term “Additional Permitted Uses” shall mean any of the following uses within the Premises: a health club, health spa, fitness center, gymnasium, workout facility or martial arts training studio.
6. Roof Replacement. In further consideration of Tenant’s agreements in this Second Amendment, Landlord has agreed to the following provisions with respect to the replacement of the roof of the Building without otherwise limiting or modifying Landlord’s obligations under the Lease with respect to the roof:
(i) Within sixty (60) days after the Effective Date, Landlord shall obtain (at its sole expense) and deliver to Tenant a roof replacement proposal from a reputable and qualified roofing contractor reasonably acceptable to Tenant. A qualified roofing contractor is one that has at least ten (10) years of experience installing, repairing and replacing roofs of commercial buildings comparable to the Building. Landlord acknowledges that specifications for the Roof Work (as hereinafter defined) in the roof replacement proposal shall provide for a new roof which shall be a mechanically fastened (white) TPO single-ply roof system with exterior metal flashing, subject to Landlord’s reasonable discretion (taking into account the type and location of Tenant’s Building), and Tenant’s prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld. The roof replacement proposal approved pursuant to this Section 6 is referred to herein as the “Approved Roof Proposal”.
(ii) Landlord agrees to perform and complete the replacement of the roof as provided in the Approved Roof Proposal toward the end that the roof of the Building shall be placed in a water-tight condition free of all leaks (collectively, the “Roof Work”): (A) as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event shall the Roof Work be completed later than twelve (12) months after the Effective Date; (B) at Landlord’s sole cost and expense without reimbursement of any kind from Tenant; (C) in a good and workmanlike manner using new and high quality materials; and (D) in accordance with (1) all applicable permits, approvals and laws, (2) sound construction and engineering practices, (3) the Approved Roof Proposal, and (4) the terms of the Lease.
(iii) In addition, Landlord agrees that it shall exercise its best efforts (and cause its employees, agents and contractors performing any Roof Work to exercise their respective best efforts) not to disrupt or interfere with (A) Tenant’s business operations, (B) any systems, utilities or equipment serving the Premises, or (C) Tenant’s customers’, vendors’ or suppliers’ access, parking, loading, unloading or deliveries to or from the Premises; provided, however, the exercise of best efforts as provided in this clause (iii) shall in no event limit, modify, waive, release, terminate or adversely affect Landlord’s liability to Tenant for any such disruption or interference caused by Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors.
(iv) Landlord acknowledges that any claims, damages, liabilities or expenses paid, suffered or incurred by Tenant resulting from the performance of the Roof Work by or on behalf of Landlord shall be covered by Landlord’s indemnification obligations to Tenant under the Existing Lease.
7. Right of First Refusal. Article XXVI of the Lease is hereby amended to add the following new Section 26.21:
“SECTION 26.21. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 26.21, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a right of first refusal to purchase the Landlord’s interest in the Premises (the “Refusal Right”). The Refusal Right shall be in full force and effect during the entire Term of this Lease. Upon the expiration of the Term of this Lease or upon the earlier termination of this Lease, the Refusal Right shall expire. The terms of such Refusal Right are as follows:
(a) If Landlord enters into good faith negotiations with a proposed purchaser during the Term of this Lease, then Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing (“Landlord’s Refusal Right Notice”) of the purchase price and other basic terms and conditions which have been negotiated and upon which Landlord is prepared to sell the Landlord’s interest in the Premises to such prospective purchaser (the “Offered Sale Terms”).
(b) Tenant’s right to purchase the Landlord’s interest in the Premises shall be exercisable by written notice (the “Exercise Notice”) from Tenant to Landlord of Tenant’s election to exercise the Refusal Right given not later than ten (10) business days after Tenant receives Landlord’s Refusal Right Notice. If Tenant fails to deliver the Exercise Notice within said 10-business day period, the Refusal Right shall terminate and be of no further force or effect and Landlord may thereafter sell Landlord’s interest in the Premises upon terms which are no less favorable to Landlord than the Offered Sale Terms without notice to Tenant and free of any right in Tenant to purchase the Landlord’s interest in the Premises. Landlord may not sell Landlord’s interest in
72
the Premises upon terms which are less favorable to Landlord than the Offered Sale Terms without providing Tenant the first right of refusal to purchase the Premises in accordance with this Section 26.21.
(c) If Tenant does not exercise the Refusal Right and Landlord fails to close the sale of the Landlord’s interest in the Premises to a third party in accordance with the Offered Sale Terms within twelve (12) months after Tenant receives Landlord’s Refusal Right Notice, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord may not sell Landlord’s interest in the Premises without providing Tenant the first right of refusal to purchase the Landlord’s interest in the Premises in accordance with this Section 26.21.
(d) If Tenant exercises the Refusal Right, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a written agreement for the purchase and sale of the Landlord’s interest in the Premises (the “Contract”) for a purchase price equal to the purchase price set forth in the Offered Sale Terms. Unless otherwise set forth in the Offered Sale Terms or unless otherwise agreed by Landlord and Tenant, the Contract shall provide for the following:
(i) An escrow closing at the office of the title insurance company issuing the title insurance policy specified below on a date no later than sixty (60) days after the effective date of the Exercise Notice;
(ii) The delivery by Tenant to Landlord of the purchase price by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the escrow instructions customarily used by the title insurance company issuing the title insurance policy specified below;
(iii) The delivery by Landlord to Tenant of good title to the Premises by a limited warranty deed as to any fee interest in the Premises or an Assignment as to any leasehold interest, subject only to those exceptions and encumbrances which are customary (excluding delinquent real estate taxes or any mortgage or other lien voluntarily created by Landlord, which shall be paid at closing by Landlord) or which do not interfere with the use of the Premises for all uses permitted under this Lease and do not adversely affect the fair market value of the Premises;
(iv) The delivery by Landlord to Tenant of an ALTA owner’s or leasehold title insurance policy issued by the title insurer issuing the policy described in Section 15.6 hereof or by another title insurer acceptable to both Landlord and Tenant, subject only to those exceptions stated above;
(v) The execution and delivery by Landlord and Tenant of a reciprocal easement agreement for the Shopping Center to place of record the easements and restrictive covenants set forth in this Lease, unless such rights are already of record;
(vi) The delivery by the appropriate party of all documentation necessary or customarily provided to complete the sale or assignment; and
(vii) The payment of all prorations, transfer taxes, title insurance charges, escrow fees, recording fees and other expenses, fees and charges by the party from whom such payment is due in accordance with statutory requirements or in accordance with the custom at the time of the closing for sales of properties similar to the Premises in the metropolitan area in which the Premises are located.
(e) The Refusal Right shall apply only to transactions in which the Landlord’s interest in the Premises are being sold separately from the balance of the Shopping Center. If the Premises are being sold with other property in the Shopping Center as part of a portfolio sale, the Refusal Right shall not be applicable with respect to such sale, but the Landlord’s interest in the Premises shall be sold subject to the rights granted to Tenant in this Section 26.21.”
8. Brokerage. Landlord and Tenant each hereby represent and warrant to the other that it has not dealt with any broker in connection with this Second Amendment, other than CL-SJCO, LLC (“Broker”). Tenant shall pay, at no cost or expense to Landlord, any commission or compensation of any kind due to Broker in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Second Amendment pursuant to a separate agreement between Tenant and Broker. Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant to one another that, except for Broker, neither of them has employed or dealt with any broker, agent or finder in connection with the Second Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereunder. Landlord shall indemnify and hold Tenant harmless, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless, from and against any claim or claims for brokerage or other commissions arising from or out of any breach of the foregoing representation and warranty by the respective indemnifying party.
