event of any conflict between the Basic Lease Provisions and the balance of this
Lease, including any exhibits, riders, addenda or amendments, then the balance
of this Lease shall control.

     2. Demised Premises

     Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby accepts and rents from
Landlord, at the rent, and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth,
the interior of the Demised Premises as described in Paragraph 1(a), together
with the nonexclusive right to use all Common Areas {as defined in Paragraph
1(d)} located from time to time in the Shopping Center. Nothing contained in
this Lease shall be construed as a grant, rental or conveyance of: (i) any
rights in the roof or exterior of the building of which the Demised Premises
constitute a part; (ii) the air space (occupied or not) above a horizontal plane
coterminous with the bottom edge of the structural steel framework supporting
the roof of the Demised Premises; (iii) the Common Areas (except as expressly
provided in this Lease); (iv) the air space (occupied or not) below a horizontal
plane coterminous with the finished floor level of the Demised Premises; or (v)
the land upon which the Demised Premises are located.

     Landlord and Tenant agree that either party may elect to redetermine the
number of square feet of the Floor Area of the Demised Premises. In the event
that any such remeasurement determines there is a deviation between the actual
number of square feet of Floor Area in the Demised Premises and the number of
square feet set forth in Paragraph 1(a) of the Lease by five percent (5%) or
more, and the determination is certified by an architect approved by Landlord,
this Lease shall be amended to reflect the actual number of square feet of Floor
Area and to adjust proportionately Guaranteed Minimum Rent, Percentage Rent and
additional rent. If the deviation is less than five percent (5%), then Landlord
may, at Landlord's sole option, elect to either adjust proportionately
Guaranteed Minimum Rent, Percentage Rent and additional rent, or to leave the
charges and the Floor Area of the Demised Premises as they are set out in the
Lease. Any underpayment of rent disclosed by such adjustment shall be promptly
paid by Tenant. Any overpayment of rent disclosed by such adjustment shall be
promptly refunded.


     3. Term

     The Lease Term shall begin on the date of delivery of the Demised Premises
by Landlord to Tenant, as provided in Paragraph 5, and shall end at midnight on
the last day of the 84th calendar month after the Rent Commencement Date,
provided, however, if the Rent Commencement Date is on a date other than the
first (1st) day of a month then the first full month shall be the period
commencing on the Rent Commencement Date and ending on the last day of the month
immediately following the Rent Commencement Date.


     4. Rent

     Tenant shall pay to Landlord for the use and occupancy of the Demised
Premises and appurtenances thereto rent as hereinafter provided:

          (a) Guaranteed Minimum Rent.

               (i) Guaranteed Minimum Rent at the rate per annum specified in
          Paragraph 1(g), payable in equal monthly installments as specified in
          Paragraph 1(g) in advance, without notice, demand, setoff or
          deduction, on or before the first day of each and every calendar month
          beginning on the Rent Commencement Date and continuing throughout the
          Lease Term. Changes in the Floor Area of the Demised Premises shall
          result in corresponding changes in the Guaranteed Minimum Rent and
          Percentage Rent Base. Should the Rent Commencement Date be on a day
          other than the first day of a month, then the rent for the first
          fractional month shall be computed on a daily basis {based on a thirty
          (30) day month} and shall be paid on the Rent Commencement Date.
          Should the Lease Term expire on a day other than the last day of a
          month, then the rent for the final fractional month shall be computed
          on a daily basis {based on a thirty (30) day month}.

               (ii) If at any time during the Lease Term, the Shopping Center
          shall be expanded and as a result of such expansion, a new Major Store
          over 100,000 square feet opens, then beginning on the date that the
          new Major Store opens for business, Guaranteed Minimum Rent and the
          Percentage Rent Base shall be increased as follows:


                                       4
<PAGE>

          The annual Guaranteed Minimum Rent that is then payable by Tenant in
     the Lease Year in which the Major Store opens , shall be multiplied by one
     hundred five percent (105%) and such product shall be the new annual
     Guaranteed Minimum Rent. In the event this Lease has increases in
     Guaranteed Minimum Rent, then such amounts shall be proportionately
     increased. Such new Guaranteed Minimum Rent shall be payable in equal
     monthly installments.

          The new Percentage Rent Base shall be the product obtained by dividing
     the new annual Guaranteed Minimum Rent by the percentage set forth in
     Paragraph 1(h).

               (iii) If at any time during the Lease Term, the Shopping Center
          shall be expanded and as a result of such expansion, a new Major Store
          operating under the name of Nordstrom ("Nordstrom") opens, then
          beginning on the date that Nordstrom opens for business, Guaranteed
          Minimum Rent and the Percentage Rent Base shall be increased as
          follows:

          The annual Guaranteed Minimum Rent that is then payable by Tenant in
     the Lease Year in which Nordstrom opens, shall be multiplied by one hundred
     ten percent (110%) and such product shall be the new annual Guaranteed
     Minimum Rent. In the event this Lease has increases in Guaranteed Minimum
     Rent, then such amounts shall be proportionately increased. Such new
     Guaranteed Minimum Rent shall be payable in equal monthly installments.

          The new Percentage Rent Base shall be the product obtained by dividing
     the new annual Guaranteed Minimum Rent by the percentage set forth in
     Paragraph 1(h).

          (b) Taxes and Insurance Expense. Commencing on the Rent Commencement
     Date, and for the balance of the Lease Term, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord,
     as additional rent for each Lease Year, a pro rata share of each of the
     following expenses, which pro rata share shall be computed by multiplying
     such expenses by a fraction having as its numerator the Floor Area of the
     Demised Premises and as its denominator the Gross Leased Area:

               (i) All taxes, impositions and assessments of every kind or
          nature which are now or may hereafter be imposed or assessed upon the
          Demised Premises or the Shopping Center, less any amounts paid by
          Major Stores and tenants whose spaces do not front on the enclosed
          mall towards such taxes and assessments.

               (ii) All taxes, impositions or excises on rent or any other tax,
          levy or charge however described (but excluding any federal, state or
          local income taxes) levied against Landlord by the Federal Government,
          the Commonwealth of Virginia or any agency or political subdivision of
          the Commonwealth of Virginia, including without limitation, any
          license fees, taxes measured by or imposed upon rents or other tax or
          charge upon Landlord and/or the business for leasing the Shopping
          Center, on account of rentals or other charges payable to Landlord
          under leases of space in the Shopping Center (including this Lease),
          or based upon the parking facilities and/or the number of parking
          spaces provided by Landlord in the Shopping Center, less any amounts
          paid by Major Stores and tenants whose spaces do not front on the
          enclosed mall towards such taxes and excises.

               (iii) The cost to Landlord of insurance obtained by Landlord
          pursuant to Paragraphs 12 and 13, less any amounts paid by Major

               (iv) The cost to Landlord for professional tax consulting
          services, advise and review, and the costs and charges, including

          and expenses and other fees in any tax appeal, protest, review or any
          other administrative or judicial proceeding seeking to reduce the
          level of costs outlined in Paragraphs 4(b)(i) and 4(b)(ii) levied upon
          the Shopping Center, and expenses and contributions actually incurred
          for lobbying purposes at the federal, state or local level seeking to
          reduce, repeal, lessen the increase of or defeat the additional
          imposition of real estate taxes, privilege (sales) or use taxes, rent

<PAGE>

          propose, approve or oppose such tax measures in legislation or a
          referendum, initiative or constitutional amendment.

               Landlord shall bill Tenant for such costs as a separate charge in
          advance on the first day of each calendar month in an amount as
          estimated by Landlord. Such estimate shall be based on Landlord's
          projected costs for taxes and insurance for that calendar year. The
          costs for Landlord's insurance may, at Landlord's sole discretion be
          included in Landlord's cost for Common Areas as set forth in Paragraph
          9(b). After the end of each calendar year, Landlord will furnish to
          Tenant a statement showing in reasonable detail the amount of
          Landlord's costs for such taxes and insurance for the preceding
          calendar year, any deficit will be paid by Tenant within thirty (30)
          days after demand from Landlord. Any surplus will be applied against
          Guaranteed Minimum Rent thereafter coming due. The annual and monthly
          payments for the ensuing calendar year shall be estimated accordingly.
          Changes in applicable Floor Areas shall result in corresponding pro
          rata adjustments. Such additional rent for any partial Lease Year, or
          for any Lease Year longer or shorter than twelve (12) calendar months,
          shall be prorated per diem. Tenant shall be entitled to a credit for
          its proportionate share of any refund or reduction in real property
          taxes, provided Tenant paid Landlord its proportionate share of the
          taxes for the year being refunded or reduced.

               (c) Percentage Rent. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord,
          without notice, demand, setoff or deduction, a sum equal to the
          percentage of Gross Sales {which percentage is set forth in Paragraph
          1(h)} of Tenant or anyone else made from, in or upon the Demised
          Premises during each Lease Year in excess of the Percentage Rent Base
          set forth in Paragraph 1(h). In the event the Guaranteed Minimum Rent
          payable in any Lease Year is less than the annual Guaranteed Minimum
          Rent set forth in Paragraph 1(g), or if the Guaranteed Minimum Rent is
          payable for a period of less than twelve (12) months, then the
          Percentage Rent Base for that Lease Year or period shall be reduced in
          proportion to the amount by which the Guaranteed Minimum Rent payable
          is less than the annual Guaranteed Minimum Rent set forth in Paragraph
          1(g).

               Percentage Rent shall be computed and paid in accordance with the
          following provisions:

               (i) Statements and Payment of Percentage Rent. Within fifteen
          (15) days after the end of each calendar month during the Lease Term,
          Tenant shall submit to Landlord an accurate written statement signed
          by Tenant or a duly authorized officer or representative of Tenant,
          showing by month the full amount of Gross Sales of Tenant during the
          immediately preceding month. Within fifteen (15) days after the end of
          the calendar year quarters terminating on the last day of March, June
          and September during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay as Percentage
          Rent that amount derived by multiplying the percentage set forth in
          Paragraph 1(h) hereof by the amount by which the Gross Sales for that
          quarter exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of the Percentage Rent Base.
          Within fifteen (15) days after the end of each Lease Year, Tenant
          shall furnish to Landlord a statement certified as correct and
          complete by Tenant (or an authorized officer or representative of
          Tenant) and by a certified public accountant showing in complete
          detail the Gross Sales made during the immediately preceding Lease
          Year or part thereof, including an itemization of all claimed
          exclusions therefrom and Tenant shall at the same time pay the full
          balance of Percentage Rent due for that Lease Year. Any excess of
          Percentage Rent that Tenant may have paid for that Lease Year shall be
          applied against Guaranteed Minimum Rent thereafter falling due. If
          requested by Landlord, in addition to the Gross Sales reports required
          to be furnished to Landlord as set forth above, Tenant shall furnish
          to Landlord copies of any and all sales tax reports due any federal,
          or local governmental agency at the same time it furnishes such
          reports to such agencies, but in no event less than one (1) time per
          calendar year. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall require any
          licensees, concessionaires and subtenants that may be occupying the
          Demised Premises to furnish similar statements to those statements
          required to be furnished by Tenant to Landlord under this Paragraph
          4(c)(i). All reports shall be delivered to Landlord at the address
          specified in Paragraph 1(r)(i).

               Each Lease Year shall be considered as an independent accounting
          period for the purpose of computing the amount of Percentage Rent.
          There shall be no carry-backs or carry-forwards from one (1) Lease
          Year to another Lease Year, however the foregoing sentence does not
          preclude the annual adjustments based on actual


                                        6
<PAGE>

          Gross Sales. If the first Lease Year is longer than twelve (12)
          full calendar months, then Tenant shall pay Percentage Rent for two
          (2) different periods for and during the first Lease Year as follows:
          Tenant shall pay a separate Percentage Rent for that portion of the
          first Lease Year beginning on the Rent Commencement Date and ending on
          December 31 of that same year; and Tenant shall pay a separate
          Percentage Rent covering the remaining period of twelve (12) full
          calendar months of the first Lease Year. If last Lease Year is longer
          than twelve (12) full calendar months, then Tenant shall pay
          Percentage Rent for two different periods for and during the last
          Lease Year as follows: Tenant shall pay a separate Percentage Rent for
          that portion of the first Lease Year beginning on the first day of
          such Lease Year and ending twelve (12) full calendar months
          thereafter; and Tenant pay a separate Percentage Rent covering the
          remaining period of the last Lease Year. Such amounts shall be paid
          quarterly as provided in the preceding paragraph. Tenant's reports of
          Gross Sales shall cover these periods separately.

               (ii) Definition of "Gross Sales". As used in this Lease, the term
          "Gross Sales" means all sales, both cash and charge, of merchandise
          and services made in, upon or from the Demised Premises, including
          telephone sales and orders taken in or from the Demised Premises
          although such orders may be filled elsewhere, less refunds and
          allowances to the customer. Gross Sales shall not include the
          following: (a) any sales, use or excise tax upon such merchandise or
          services if such taxes are separately stated and separately charged to
          the customer; (b) transfers of merchandise between Tenant's locations
          as long as the transfers are made for the convenient operation of
          Tenant's business and are not made for the purpose of consummating a
          sale made in, at or from the Demised Premises; (c) sales to employees
          at a discount not to exceed 2% of Gross Sales per Lease Year; (d)
          returns of merchandise to shippers, suppliers or manufacturers; (e)
          the sale or transfer of Tenant's trade fixtures or bulk transfer of
          inventory and/or other personal property not constituting stock in
          trade for sale to the general public; (f) the selling price of
          merchandise returned without exchange and refunds or credits allowed
          on returns of merchandise or customer complaints to the extent
          previously included in Gross Sales; (g) bad debts not to exceed 1% of
          Gross Sales in any Lease Year, however if such amounts are collected
          in a later Lease Year then the amounts collected will be included in
          Gross Sales in the Lease Year in which they are collected; or (h)
          service charges paid by Tenant to third party credit card or charge
          card companies on sales paid by customers on credit card or charge
          card. A sale upon installment or credit shall be treated as a sale for
          the full price in the month during which such sale is made, regardless
          of when or whether Tenant shall receive payment therefor.

               (iii) Records and Audit. Tenant shall keep at the Demised
          Premises or at its general office complete and accurate books of
          account and records in accordance with generally accepted accounting
          practices with respect to all business conducted in, upon or from the
          Demised Premises; and Landlord shall have the right at any reasonable
          time to examine such books and records (including all tax returns) or
          have them audited at Landlord's expense, except that if any such
          examination or audit discloses a misstatement of more than two percent
          (2%) in any annual statement of Gross Sales furnished by Tenant to
          Landlord, then Tenant shall pay the actual cost of such examination or
          audit. If any examination or audit by Landlord shall disclose any
          deficiency in any payment of Percentage Rent, then Tenant shall pay
          the deficiency within fifteen (15) days after notice of such
          deficiency, with interest at the rate provided in Paragraph 4(e) from
          the date on which such payment should have been made. If any audit or
          audits show that the amount of Gross Sales on any two (2) annual
          statements were misstated by more than five percent (5%) of Gross
          Sales for any two (2) Lease Years, Landlord shall have the right, but
          not the obligation, to terminate the Lease and all of the rights,
          title and interests of Tenant hereunder upon thirty (30) days written
          notice to Tenant.

          (d) Additional Rent. In addition to all other rent required to be paid
     pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph 4, Tenant shall pay, as additional
     rent, the sums required to be paid pursuant to other provisions of and
     exhibits to this Lease, whether or not designated "additional rent". If
     such amounts or charges are not paid at the time provided in this Lease,
     they shall, nevertheless, be collectible as additional rent with the next
     or any future installment of Guaranteed Minimum Rent thereafter falling
     due, but nothing contained in this sentence shall be deemed to suspend or
     delay the payment of any amount of money or charge at the time the same
     becomes due and payable hereunder, or limit any other remedy of Landlord.

                                       7

<PAGE>

          (e) Interest and Late Charges. If Tenant fails to pay, when due and
     payable, any rent, additional rent or other amounts or charges of any kind
     or character provided in this Lease, such unpaid amounts shall bear
     interest at the maximum lawful interest rate from the date due to the date
     of payment; but if there is no maximum lawful interest rate, then at the
     rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum. In addition, if Tenant shall fail
     to pay any monthly installment of Guaranteed Minimum Rent or additional
     rent by the tenth (10th) day of the month in which the installment is due,
     a late charge equal to $200.00 shall be assessed; provided that in no event
     may any late charge and/or interest provided in this Paragraph 4(e) exceed
     the maximum permitted by law or be imposed prior to the date permitted by
     law.

          (f) Payment of Rent. All rent and additional rent payments provided
     for in this Lease, except for the payment of Marketing Fund and Advertising
     Fund fees, shall be made payable to One Federal Street Joint Venture, c/o
     Faison & Associates, Inc., P.O. Box 70160, Richmond, Virginia 23255-0160
     until notice to the contrary is given by Landlord. All Marketing Fund and
     Promotion Fund fees shall be payable to Regency Square
     Marketing/Advertising Fund at 1420 Parham Road, Richmond, Virginia 23229
     until notice to the contrary is given by Landlord. Rent shall be deemed
     paid when received by Landlord.

          (h) Survival. The rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant set
     forth in this Paragraph 4 shall survive the expiration or earlier
     termination of this Lease.


     5. Improvements and Delivery of Demised Premises

          (a) If Tenant is not on the date hereof in possession of the Demised
     Premises, Landlord agrees to deliver possession of the Demised Premises to
     Tenant upon the later to occur of: (i) the date this Lease is fully
     executed and delivered to Tenant; or (ii) the date that the Demised
     Premises shall be available for occupancy by Tenant. If Landlord shall be
     unable to deliver possession of the Demised Premises ready for Tenant's
     Work within one (1) year from the date of this Lease, this Lease shall
     automatically cease and terminate and be deemed cancelled and of no further
     force and effect as of such date; and any money or security deposited
     hereunder shall be returned to Tenant. Thereafter neither party shall have
     any further liability to the other, either for damages or otherwise, by
     reason of such cancellation arising out of or in connection with this Lease
     as though this Lease had not been executed in the first instance. Landlord
     agrees that provided the current tenant in the Demised Premises has vacated
     the Demised Premises, Landlord shall deliver the Demised Premises on or
     before July 1, 1997.

          (b) Landlord shall deliver the Demised Premises to Tenant "as is" and
     shall have no duty to make any modifications or improvements to the Demised
     Premises, except as otherwise set forth herein; provided, however, that
     Tenant expressly agrees that any tenant occupying the Demised Premises on
     the date hereof may remove its personal property or trade fixtures to the
     extent permitted by the tenant's lease or by law and that the Demised
     Premises, after the removal of any such personal property or trade
     fixtures, shall be considered "as is" within the meaning of that term in
     this Paragraph 5(b), except as otherwise set forth herein. Landlord makes
     no representations or warranties with respect to the condition of the
     Demised Premises, except as otherwise set forth herein. Notwithstanding the
     foregoing, prior to delivery of the Demised Premises by Landlord to Tenant,
     Landlord agrees to stub electricity and water/sewer to a point at the rear
     of the Demised Premises as determined by Landlord to the extent the same do
     not already exist. Further, Landlord shall provide neutral piers. By
     occupying the Demised Premises after 

                                       8

<PAGE>

     the delivery of possession, to install fixtures, facilities or equipment or
     to perform finishing work, or for any other purpose, Tenant shall be deemed
     to have accepted the same and to have acknowledged that the Demised
     Premises are in the condition required by this Lease.

          (c) Upon delivery of possession of the Demised Premises by Landlord,
     Tenant shall with due diligence proceed to remodel and renovate the Demised
     Premises, installing such stock, fixtures and equipment and performing such
     other work as shall be necessary or appropriate for the operation of its
     business ("Tenant's Work"), all in accordance with plans and specifications
     approved by Landlord as specified below and as described in the Tenant
     Design & Construction Criteria Manual (the "Criteria") for the Shopping
     Center. Landlord has delivered the Criteria to Tenant and Tenant
     acknowledges receipt thereof. The Criteria are incorporated by reference in
     this Lease and any material default under the Criteria shall be a default
     under the Lease. Tenant shall complete all such work so that it may open
     for business in the Demised Premises on the Rent Commencement Date. Tenant
     agrees to submit to Landlord plans and specifications covering all work and
     installations which Tenant proposes to do in the Demised Premises,
     including, without limitation, interior store layout, storefront,
     mechanical layout, fixtures and decor, all of which shall be in accordance
     with generally accepted construction standards for a first class shopping
     mall and in accordance with the Criteria. Tenant's plans and specifications
     shall be prepared in such detail as Landlord may reasonably require, and
     Tenant agrees not to commence work upon any of Tenant's Work until Landlord
     has approved Tenant's plans and specifications and Tenant's architect and
     contractor in writing. In the event that Tenant does not complete Tenant's
     Work in accordance with its plans and specifications and open the Demised
     Premises for the conduct of its business on the Rent Commencement Date,
     Landlord shall have, in addition to any and all remedies herein provided,
     the right at its option to collect in lieu of Percentage Rent as provided
     in Paragraph 4(c), additional rent at the rate of one-fifteenth (1/15th) of
     the monthly Guaranteed Minimum Rent per day for each and every day that
     Tenant shall fail to commence to do business after that date.

          (d) Landlord makes no representations as to the period or periods that
     the Major Stores or any other tenant in the Shopping Center will be open
     for business, and this Lease will not be affected by any closing of any
     such business.

          (e) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within twenty (20) days after
     receipt of an invoice therefor, for pre-opening services provided by
     Landlord and utilized by Tenant prior to the Rent Commencement Date. The
     unit cost for the pre-opening services shall be a one-time charge equal to
     One Thousand Five Hundred and no/100 Dollars ($1,500.00).

          (f) Landlord may, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, elect to install
     a temporary store front or barricade during the performance by Tenant of
     Tenant's Work in the Demised Premises or until Tenant opens the Demised
     Premises for business or during any period within the Lease Term during
     which Tenant is making alterations to the Demised Premises. The cost of
     such temporary store front or barricade shall equal Fifty-five and no/100
     Dollars ($55.00) per linear foot of lease line fronting on the Common
     Areas. Within twenty (20) days after receipt of an invoice therefor, Tenant
     shall reimburse Landlord the full cost of the temporary store front or
     barricade.


     6. Use of the Premises

          (a) Continuous Occupancy. The Demised Premises shall, during the Lease
     Term, be used and occupied only for the Use Permitted specifically set
     forth in this Lease in Paragraph 1(i) and for no other purpose and operated
     only under the Trade Name specifically set forth in this Lease in Paragraph
     1(j) and under no other name or such other trade name as Tenant may use for
     all or substantially all of its stores, without the written consent of
     Landlord. Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold its consent to a
     change in the Trade Name. Tenant shall keep the Demised Premises open for
     business

     p.m., six days per week, and between the hours of 12:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.
     on Sundays, or such different hours as shall be prescribed by Landlord,
     provided Landlord imposes those different hour requirements on a numerical
     majority of the tenants of the Shopping Center. Tenant's obligation to open
     for business shall be subject to governmental regulations or governmental
     recommendations approved by Landlord with which Tenant hereby agrees to
     comply. Tenant shall install and maintain in the Demised Premises store
     fixtures of high quality and shall, after the Rent Commencement Date,
     continuously, actively and diligently operate its business in the whole of
     the Demised Premises in a high-grade, reputable manner throughout the Lease
     Term, maintaining in the Demised Premises a full staff of employees and a
     full and complete stock of merchandise, and in general employ its best
     business judgment, efforts and abilities to operate its business in an
     efficient and businesslike manner, to the end that the maximum volume of
     sales which can be reasonably produced in the Demised Premises shall be
     realized under the Trade Name set forth in Paragraph 1(j). Under no
     circumstances shall the Demised Premises be used for any of the following
     purposes:

               (i) the sale or distribution of alcoholic beverages for
          consumption on or off the Demised Premises, unless first approved in
          writing by Landlord; or

               (ii) the sale of merchandise from vending machines, without the
          prior written consent of Landlord, except vending machines installed
          for sales to employees only; or

               (iii) the operation of coin or token-operated video games or
          machines of a similar nature.

          (b) Failure to Comply. If Tenant fails to comply with any provision of
     this Paragraph 6, then, in addition to any and all other equitable and
     legal remedies which Landlord may have, Tenant agrees to pay on the first
     day of each month, as additional rent, a sum equal to one-half (1/2) of the
     Guaranteed Minimum Rent provided for in Paragraph 4(a) for the period it
     fails to comply with such requirements, adjusted on a daily basis.

          (d) Tenant shall not use or suffer or permit to be used the Demised
     Premises or any part thereof in violation of any law or ordinance or any
     regulation of any governmental authority or in any manner that will
     constitute a nuisance, or that will injure the reputation of the Shopping
     Center or any part thereof, or for any hazardous purpose, or that will
     violate, suspend, void or serve to increase the premium rate of or make
     inoperative any policy or policies of insurance of any kind whatsoever at
     any time carried on any property, buildings or improvements in the Shopping
     Center or any part thereof.

          (e) Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall, before opening for business
     in the Demised Premises, comply in all respects with the Criteria. In
     addition, during the Lease Term, Tenant agrees:

               (i) To take possession and open for business, as required hereby;
          and, to keep its display windows, including windows and shadow boxes
          in the Demised Premises, dressed and illuminated and its interior mall
          signs and lights suitably lighted until

<PAGE>

          sponsored by Landlord.

               (ii) To keep the Demised Premises, including all vestibules,
          entrances and returns located therein, all improvements thereon, and
          all windows, doors and glass or plate glass fixtures, in a safe, neat
          and clean condition at all times; and to keep the windows free from
          unsightly window advertising and to refrain from painting or otherwise
          covering the same, or making any changes thereto or to the front of
          the Demised Premises, and not to have any signs or merchandise located
          within one (1) foot of the front of the Demised Premises or within one
          (1) foot from any store window thereof, except that Tenant may display
          its product under glass within 6 inches of the front of the Demised
          Premises. The attachment of advertising to plate glass, store fronts,
          doors and/or windows is prohibited.

               (iii) To store or stock in the Demised Premises only such goods,
          wares, merchandise, or other property as shall be reasonably required
          in connection with Tenant's business in the Demised Premises.

               (iv) To use for offices, clerical or other non-selling purposes
          only such space in the Demised Premises as is from time to time
          reasonably required for Tenant's business therein.

               (v) To store and/or separate all trash and garbage in adequate
          containers within the Demised Premises, maintained in a neat and clean
          condition and located as Landlord shall from time to time designate,
          and so as not to be visible to the public in or outside the Shopping
          Center and so as not to create or permit any health, safety or fire
          hazard, and arrange for regular removal thereof at Tenant's expense.
          If Landlord requires the same, all garbage and trash must be compacted
          in the manner and in a location in or outside the Demised Premises as
          reasonably required by Landlord. In the event that any governmental
          authority requires or recommends that trash and garbage be separated
          and recycled, Tenant agrees to comply with such requirement or
          recommendation.

               (vi) Not to burn any papers, trash or garbage of any kind in or
          about the Demised Premises or the Shopping Center.

               (vii) Not to use or operate any equipment, fixtures or machinery
          which in Landlord's reasonable opinion is harmful to it or disturbs
          other tenants or customers in the Shopping Center. Landlord
          acknowledges that the Demised Premises are to be used as a food
          service operation and Tenant's kitchen equipment, fixtures and
          machinery approved by Landlord shall not be deemed harmful.

               (viii) Not to use the plumbing facilities for any purpose other
          than that for which they were constructed. Tenant shall not dispose of
          any substances in such facilities which may clog, corrode or damage
          the plumbing pipes, lines or conduits of the Shopping Center whether
          through the utilization of "garbage disposal" units or otherwise. If
          Tenant uses the Demised Premises for the sale, preparation or service
          of food, Tenant shall regularly perform chemical and/or enzyme
          cleaning and/or shall install such grease traps as are necessary or
          desirable to prevent the accumulation of grease or other wastes in the
          plumbing facilities servicing the Demised Premises. The foregoing
          shall not be deemed to permit Tenant to use the Demised Premises as
          provided in the preceding sentence unless such use is specified in
          Paragraph 1(i).

               (ix) Not to distribute any handbills or other advertising matter
          on or about any part of the Shopping Center outside the Demised
          Premises.

               (x) Not to advertise any going-out-of-business, removal, fire,
          bankruptcy, auction or other distress sale on the Demised Premises. If
          any such covenant by Tenant is deemed unlawful, then no such activity
          may be so conducted, unless and until satisfactory proof has been
          supplied to Landlord that the person intending to conduct such sales
          has complied meticulously with all legal requirements, including
          without limitation any applicable rules and regulations of the Federal
          Trade Commission.

               (xi) Not to use any sidewalks, walkways or other Common Areas of
          the Shopping Center, or any vestibules or entrances located within the
          Demised Premises for the keeping, displaying, advertising and/or sale
          of any merchandise or other object.

               (xii) Not to install on or about the Demised Premises any
          exterior lighting, amplifiers or similar devices, and not to use in,
          on or about the Demised Premises any advertising medium which may be
          heard or experienced outside the Demised Premises, such as flashing
          lights, search lights, loudspeakers, phonographs, television, radio
          broadcasts or video players. Except for the music system set forth in
          Exhibit E, Section D, Tenant shall not use, install or cause to be
          installed in the Demised Premises any background music and/or public
          address system.

               (xiii) Not to install a television antenna outside the Demised
          Premises without Landlord's written consent. If Tenant is permitted to
          connect with any master antenna provided by Landlord, Tenant shall
          furnish and install any and all wiring and booster systems related to
          such connection and the operation within the Demised Premises of
          television receivers, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord such reasonable
          connection and/or subscription charges as Landlord may establish.

               (xiv) To keep the Demised Premises clean, orderly, sanitary and
          free from objectionable odors and from termites, insects, vermin and
          other pests, and not to keep any live animals of any kind in, upon or
          about the Demised Premises. Any program of extermination and the
          company or person performing the same shall be subject to Landlord's
          approval, not to be unreasonably withheld. If Landlord establishes any
          pest, vermin or other extermination program for all or part of the
          Shopping Center, it may require Tenant to participate in such program;
          and Tenant covenants to reimburse Landlord the reasonable cost thereof
          as estimated by Landlord, including, but not limited to, Landlord's
          reasonable expense in administering the program.

               (xv) To comply with any and all requirements of any of the
          constituted public authorities, and with the terms of any state or
          federal statute or local ordinance or regulation applicable to Tenant
          or its use of the Demised Premises, and to save Landlord harmless from
          penalties, fines, costs, expense or damages resulting from Tenant's
          failure to do so.

               (xvi) To give to Landlord immediate verbal notice followed by
          prompt written notice of any accident, fire or damage occurring on or
          to the Demised Premises.

               (xvii) To perform all loading and unloading of goods only at such
          times, in the areas and through such entrances as may be designated
          for such purposes by Landlord. Trailers and/or trucks servicing the
          Demised Premises shall follow such routes in the Shopping Center as
          are designated by Landlord and shall remain parked in designated areas
          of the Shopping Center as from time to time required by Landlord.

               (xviii) To require Tenant's employees to park their vehicles only
          in those portions of the parking area or at such other places as are
          designated for that purpose by Landlord from time to time. Tenant
          agrees that at least five (5) days prior to its opening for business
          in the Shopping Center and from time to time thereafter, within five
          (5) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord, it will
          furnish Landlord with the make, model and State license numbers
          assigned to Tenant's vehicles, and the vehicles of all of Tenant's
          directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, subtenants,
          licensees and concessionaires, and that if required by Landlord, such
          vehicles will be identified or marked with a standard plate, sticker
          or other means of identification provided by Landlord. Tenant further
          agrees that it will require all employees to execute an agreement in
          form satisfactory to Landlord authorizing Landlord, without notice or
          liability, to remove any employee's vehicle not parked in a designated
          area and to have such vehicle placed in the designated area, with the
          Tenant to bear the reasonable expense of such towing. In the event of
          a failure to park in the portion of the parking area designated by
          Landlord as aforesaid (whether or not the vehicle of an offending
          employee is towed) or failure of any employee of Tenant to place
          identification provided by Landlord on his vehicle, Tenant agrees to
          pay Landlord as additional

                                       12

           violation continues.

               (xix) Not to place a load on any floor exceeding the floor load
          per square foot which such floor was designed to carry. Tenant shall
          not install, operate or maintain any heavy item of equipment in the
          Demised Premises except in such manner achieving proper distribution
          of weight satisfactory to Landlord's architect or structural engineer.

               (xx) To comply with all reasonable rules and regulations of
          Landlord in effect at the time of the execution of this Lease, or at
          any time or times, and from time to time promulgated by Landlord,
          which Landlord in its sole discretion shall deem necessary for the
          proper operation of the Shopping Center, or the Demised Premises, all
          in accordance with good standards for the operation of a regional
          enclosed mall shopping center, including, but not limited to, the
          installation of such fire extinguishers and other safety equipment as
          Landlord may require; it being understood that Landlord may except
          certain tenants leasing more than ten thousand (10,000) square feet
          from compliance with all or part of the rules and regulations.
          Landlord agrees not to discriminate against Tenant in enforcing such
          rules and regulations.

          (f) Installation of Signs, Awnings, Canopies, Fixtures and Alterations
     by Tenant. All fixtures installed by Tenant shall be new. After the
     completion of Tenant's Work, Tenant shall not decorate, paint or in any
     other manner alter the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, and shall not
     install or affix any sign, device, fixture or attachment on or to the
     exterior or interior of the Demised Premises, or any building or any part
     thereof on the Demised Premises, including the roof or the canopy thereof,
     nor place any vents, structure, building, improvements, sign or advertising
     device, or obstruction of any type or kind upon the Common Areas or upon
     the Demised Premises without first obtaining Landlord's written consent and
     complying in all respects with the provisions of the Criteria, unless the
     Landlord consents to the contrary in writing, which consent shall not be
     unreasonably withheld. If Tenant shall do any of the foregoing acts in
     contravention of this Paragraph 6(f), without limiting any other remedy
     Landlord may have therefor under this Lease, in law or in equity, Landlord
     shall have the right to remove any such decoration, paint, alteration,
     sign, device, fixture or attachment and restore the Demised Premises or the
     Common Areas to the condition thereof prior to such act. The cost of such
     removal and restoration shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as additional
     rent within ten (10) days after written demand. If requested by Landlord,
     Tenant agrees to remove any and all signs, awnings, canopies, fixtures,
     alterations, installations, additions and/or improvements from the Demised
     Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.

          (g) Hazardous Materials.

               (i) Hazardous Materials Defined. For purposes of this Paragraph,
          the term "Hazardous Materials" includes, without limitation, any
          flammable explosives, radioactive materials, asbestos and asbestos
          containing materials, hazardous wastes, hazardous or toxic substances,
          or related materials defined in the Comprehensive Environmental
          Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (42
          U.S.C. Sections 9601, et seq.), the Hazardous Materials Transportation
          Act, as amended (49 U.S.C. Sections 1801, et seq.), the Resource
          Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended (42 U.S.C. Sections
          6901, et seq.), and in the regulations adopted and publications
          promulgated pursuant thereto, or any other federal, state or local
          environmental laws, ordinances, rules, or regulations dealing with
          hazardous materials.

               (ii) Environmental Regulations Defined. For purposes of this
          Paragraph 6(g), the term "Environmental Regulations" shall mean all
          federal, state and local laws, including all zoning laws or
          ordinances, and all regulations, codes, requirements, public and
          private land use restrictions, rules and orders which relate to or
          govern Hazardous Materials and/or the environmental conditions in, on,
          under or about the Demised Premises, including, but not limited to,
          air quality, soil conditions and surface and subsurface water
          conditions.

               (iii) Environmental Compliance. Tenant represents, warrants, and
          covenants to Landlord that Tenant shall at no time use or permit the
          Demised Premises to be

                                       13

<PAGE>

          used in violation of any Environmental Regulations. Tenant shall
          assume sole and full responsibility for, and shall remedy in its sole
          cost and expense, all such violations. Tenant shall at no time use,
          generate, release, store, treat, dispose of, or otherwise deposit, in,
          on, under or about the Demised Premises any Hazardous Materials in
          violation of any Environmental Regulations; or permit or allow any
          third party to do so, without Landlord's express, prior, written
          consent. Tenant's compliance with the terms of this subparagraph (iii)
          and with all Environmental Regulations shall be at Tenant's sole cost
          and expense. Tenant shall pay or reimburse Landlord for any costs or
          expenses incurred or payable by Landlord, including reasonable
          attorneys', engineers', consultants' and other experts' fees and
          disbursements to determine, review, approve, consent to or monitor the
          requirements for compliance with Environmental Regulations.

               Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notification,
          immediately upon the discovery or notice or reasonable grounds to
          suspect, by Tenant, its successors, assigns, licensees, invitees,
          employees, agents, partners and/or any other third party, that any
          provision of this paragraph has not been strictly complied with.
          Landlord may exercise any of its rights and remedies under this Lease,
          including the provisions of Paragraph 16, if any provision of this
          paragraph is not strictly complied with at all times. Landlord's
          election to conduct inspections of the Demised Premises shall not be
          construed as approval of Tenant's use of the Demised Premises or any
          activities conducted thereon, and shall in no way constitute an
          assumption by Landlord of any responsibility whatsoever regarding
          Tenant's use of the Demised Premises or Hazardous Materials.

               (iv) Indemnification. Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold
          harmless Landlord and its employees, agents, officers and directors
          from and against any claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities,
          settlements, damages, costs or expenses of whatever kind or nature,
          known or unknown, contingent or otherwise arising out of or in any way
          related to the acts and omissions of Tenant, Tenant's officers,
          directors, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, subtenants
          and invitees with respect to (a) the generation, manufacture,
          transport, treatment, storage, handling, production, processing,
          disposal, release or threatened release of any Hazardous Materials
          which are on, from, or affecting the Demised Premises, including,
          without limitation, the soil, water, vegetation, buildings and
          improvements thereon, (b) any personal injury (including wrongful
          death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of or related
          to such Hazardous Materials, (c) any lawsuit brought or threatened,
          settlement reached, or governmental order relating to such Hazardous
          Materials, and (d) any violations of laws, orders, regulations,
          requirements or demands of government authorities, or any reasonable
          policies or requirements of Landlord, which are based upon or in any
          way related to such Hazardous Materials including, without limitation,
          attorney and consultant fees, investigation and laboratory fees, court
          costs and litigation expenses. This indemnification shall survive the
          termination, cancellation and surrender of this Lease however
          effectuated.

               (v) Termination, Cancellation, Surrender. In the event this Lease
          is terminated, cancelled or surrendered for any reason whatsoever,
          Tenant shall deliver the Demised Premises to Landlord free of any and
          all Hazardous Materials installed by or on behalf of Tenant so that
          the condition of the Demised Premises shall conform with all
          Environmental Laws affecting the Demised Premises.

               (vi) If subsequent to the date Tenant accepts possession of the
          Demised Premises it is determined that there are any
          asbestos-containing materials (other than vinyl asbestos tile or
          mastic) ("Asbestos") in the Demised Premises which were installed
          prior to Landlord's delivery of the Demised Premises to Tenant, and
          such Asbestos was not installed by Tenant or any affiliate of Tenant
          (or any party acting under Tenant or its affiliate) during a prior
          occupancy of the Demised Premises or a portion thereof, and such
          Asbestos is required by applicable Law to be removed, encapsulated or
          otherwise treated (a "Remediation"), then Tenant shall as soon as
          practicable, give written notice to Landlord advising Landlord of the
          condition. Upon receipt of said notice from Tenant, Landlord shall
          perform the Remediation at Landlord's cost as Landlord deems
          appropriate so that Environmental Law is complied with. If on account
          of any Remediation Landlord performs at the Demised Premises, Tenant
          cannot and does not operate in the entire Demised Premises, then all
          regularly payable Guaranteed Minimum Rent shall abate

                                       14



<PAGE>

          until the earlier of the date Tenant can again reasonably operate in
          the Demised Premises or the date Tenant does begin operating in the
          Demised Premises. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
          contrary, if any Remediation was necessitated by the act of Tenant or
          Tenant's agent, employees or contractors, the Remediation shall be at
          Tenant's expense. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in connection
          with any Remediation Landlord performs at the Demised Premises.


     7. Landlord's Covenant to Maintain

     Landlord will keep and maintain in good order and repair during the Lease
Term the roof, the exterior and principal structural portions of the buildings
and other improvements constituting the Shopping Center; provided, however, that
Landlord will not be responsible for or required to make, and Tenant will make,
any repairs which may have been occasioned or necessitated by the negligence of
Tenant, its agents, employees or invitees. Landlord shall not be liable for any
damages resulting from its failure to make repairs, unless such failure
continues beyond a reasonable time after receipt of notice from Tenant of the
necessity for such repairs.


     8. Tenant's Covenant to Maintain

          (a) Tenant will, at its own expense, keep and maintain in good order
     and repair during the Lease Term all parts of the Demised Premises,
     including without limitation, the storefront, any exterior wall separating
     the Demised Premises from the enclosed mall, the interior thereof and all
     window glass, plate glass, plumbing, wiring, electrical systems and those
     portions of central heating and air-conditioning systems exclusively
     serving the Demised Premises.

          (b) Tenant shall maintain all heating and air-conditioning equipment
     serving the Demised Premises, and shall keep in force a standard
     maintenance agreement on all such equipment and provide a copy of said
     maintenance agreement to Landlord. All parts of the interior of the Demised
     Premises shall be painted by Tenant when reasonably necessary, as
     determined by Landlord, but at least every four (4) years. Tenant will
     surrender the Demised Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of
     this Lease in as good condition as when initially completed, excepting only
     deterioration caused by ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire or other
     casualty which results in an early termination of the Lease, and except as
     expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease. All replacements and
     modifications made by Tenant to the Demised Premises shall become the
     property of Landlord at the end of the Lease Term, subject to the other
     provisions of this Lease.

          (c) Should Tenant, with Landlord's approval, desire to install a
     cooling tower or other air conditioning equipment on the roof of the
     building of which the Demised Premises forms a part, or desire to perform
     any other work on the roof, Tenant agrees to assume primary responsibility
     for the maintenance and repair of that portion of the roof where such
     installation is made or such work performed. All such work, maintenance and
     repair shall be performed by Landlord or Landlord's designee. Tenant shall
     pay Landlord for such work within thirty (30) days after demand by
     Landlord. Such installation and the operation, maintenance and repair
     thereof shall be made by such persons and in such manner that the rights of
     Landlord under any roofing bond or roof guaranty then in force shall not be
     affected or voided thereby. Tenant agrees to be solely responsible for all
     damages to Landlord and/or other tenants in the Shopping Center resulting
     from the installation, operation, maintenance and/or repair of such cooling
     tower or other air conditioning equipment, or other equipment or work of
     any nature.

          (d) If any repairs required to be made by Tenant under this Lease are
     not completed within thirty (30) days, or in case of emergency if those
     repairs are not made immediately, Landlord, without limiting any other
     right or remedy it may have therefor, may at its option make such repairs
     without liability to Tenant for any loss or damage which may result to its
     stock or business by reason of such repairs; and, Tenant shall pay to
     Landlord as additional rent within thirty (30) days after written demand,
     the cost of such repairs. If any repairs required to be made by Tenant are
     commenced when necessary, but cannot be completed within thirty (30) days,
     then Tenant shall have an additional reasonable period of time to complete
     the repairs, so long as it continues to prosecute the completion of the
     repairs with due diligence, and provided it keeps Landlord fully informed
     on the progress of its repairs.

          (e) Except as specifically provided in Paragraph 7 and Paragraph 13,
     Landlord shall have no obligation to repair, maintain, alter, replace or
     modify the Demised Premises or any part thereof, or any plumbing, heating,
     electrical, air-conditioning or other mechanical installation 

                                       15

<PAGE>

     therein, or serving same. Under no circumstances shall Landlord be
     obligated to repair, replace or maintain any windows, doors, plate glass or
     door or window glass, except when and to the extent of proceeds received
     from Landlord's fire, extended coverage or other hazard insurance.
     Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph 8, Tenant will not be
     responsible or required to make, and Landlord will make any repairs which
     may have been occasioned or necessitated by the negligence of Landlord, its
     agents or employees (acting within the scope of their employment), to the
     extent that liability for such occurrence is not coverable by the policies
     of insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease.


    9.  Common Areas

          (a) Control of Common Areas. The Common Areas shall at all times be
     subject to the exclusive control and management of Landlord; and Landlord
     shall have the right from time to time to change, enlarge, diminish or
     rearrange the area, level, location and arrangement of the Common Areas, to
     restrict parking by tenants and their employees to employee parking areas,
     and to make all rules and regulations and do such things from time to time
     as in Landlord's sole discretion may be necessary regarding said Common
     Areas. Landlord shall not make any permanent changes to the Common Areas to
     materially adversely affect customer access to the Demised Premises from
     the interior of the enclosed mall. Landlord hereby reserves the right at
     any time to make alterations or additions to and to build additional
     stories on the building in which the Demised Premises are a part and to
     build adjoining the same. Landlord further reserves the right to construct
     other buildings or improvements in the Shopping Center or the Integrated
     Shopping Center, including without limitation, in the Common Areas, and/or
     to add additional land to the Shopping Center or the Integrated Shopping
     Center and construct buildings or improvements thereon, from time to time,
     and to make improvements, alterations or additions and to build additional
     stories on any such buildings or improvements, and to build adjoining same
     and to construct below ground or elevated parking facilities.

          Tenant consents and agrees that any and/or all of the Common Areas and
     any and all services and facilities and any access to the Demised Premises
     or the Shopping Center may, without suspension or abatement of Tenant's
     obligations hereunder, be suspended, in whole or in part, during such times
     as on legal holidays, on such other days as may be declared by local, state
     or Federal authorities as days of celebration or observance, or during any
     period of actual or threatened civil commotion, insurrection or other
     circumstances beyond Landlord's control when Landlord, in Landlord's sole
     judgment, shall deem the suspension of such services, facilities and access
     necessary for the protection and preservation of persons or property.

          Landlord may at any time close temporarily all or part of the Common
     Areas to make repairs or changes therein or to effect construction, repair
     or changes within the Shopping Center, to prevent the acquisition of public
     rights in such area, or to discourage non-customer parking, and may do such
     other acts in and to the Common Areas as in its judgment may be desirable
     to improve the convenience thereof.

          (b) Tenant's Share of Common Area Costs. In each calendar year or
     partial calendar year of the Lease Term after the Rent Commencement Date,
     Tenant will pay to Landlord as additional rent without deduction or
     set-off, its pro rata share of Landlord's actual cost for operating and
     maintaining the Common Areas. Landlord's cost of maintaining the Common
     Areas shall mean total costs and expenses incurred in operating,
     maintaining and repairing the Common Areas, including, without limitation,
     the cost of all materials, supplies and services purchased or hired
     therefor; the cost and expense of landscaping, gardening and planting,
     cleaning, painting (including striping), decorating, repaving, lighting,
     sanitary control, removal of snow, trash, garbage and other refuse, roof
     repairs, heating, ventilating and air conditioning of the enclosed malls,
     fire protection, security devices and personnel, water and sewage charges,
     any parking tax or surcharge imposed by law against the Landlord, the
     Shopping Center, or the Common Area therein; the costs of capital
     improvements made to the building of the Shopping Center after the Rent
     Commencement Date which, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, are expected to
     result in a net reduction of Common Area cost or are required under any
     governmental law or regulation that was not applicable to the Shopping
     Center as of the date of this Lease , such cost thereof to be amortized
     over such reasonable period as Landlord shall determine, together with
     interest on the unamortized balance at the rate of two percent (2%) per
     annum in excess of the Prime Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal
     on the date such capital improvements are completed or if such rate is no
     longer published then at the rate of two percent (2%) per annum in excess
     of the Prime Rate of American Security Bank (Washington, DC), or such
     higher rate as may have been paid by Landlord on funds borrowed for the
     purpose of constructing said capital improvements; the cost of all
     insurance carried by Landlord, covering the 

                                       16

<PAGE>


     Common Area, including without limitation, public liability, personal
     and bodily injury and property damage liability and automobile coverage,
     fire and extended coverage, rent interruption, vandalism and malicious
     mischief and all broad form coverages, sign insurance and any other
     insurance that may be carried by Landlord covering the Common Area, all in
     limits selected by Landlord, {provided, however, such costs for insurance
     are not included in the amounts paid by Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 4(b)}
     the cost of operation of loudspeakers and any other equipment supplying
     music to the Common Areas or any parts thereof; the cost of a customer
     service booth or area and personnel related thereto; the cost of operation
     of public toilets, installing and renting of signs, maintenance, repair and
     replacement of utility systems serving the Common Areas, including water,
     sanitary sewer and storm water lines and other utility lines, pipes and
     conduits; depreciation of machinery and equipment owned and used in the
     operation, maintenance and repair of the Common Areas or the rental, repair
     and maintenance charges for such machinery and equipment; payments toward
     mass transit or car pooling facilities or otherwise as required by Federal,
     State or local authorities; costs and expenses in connection with
     maintaining Federal, State or local governmental ambient air and
     environmental standards; the cost of personnel (including applicable
     payroll taxes, workmen's compensation insurance and disability insurance)
     to implement all of the foregoing, including the policing of the Common
     Areas and the directing of traffic and parking of automobiles on the
     parking areas thereof; and the management fee payable to the manager of the
     Shopping Center; plus fifteen percent (15%) of such costs to cover
     administration and overhead, and less any amounts paid by Major Stores and
     tenants whose spaces do not front on the enclosed mall toward such cost.
     Landlord may cause any or all of said services to be provided by an
     independent contractor or contractors. Landlord agrees not to charge such
     15% administration and overhead fee on real estate taxes, Landlord's
     property insurance on the Shopping Center, Landlord's liability insurance
     or the management fee. Tenant's pro rata share shall be computed by
     multiplying Landlord's costs by a fraction having as its numerator the
     Floor Area of the Demised Premises as set out in Paragraph 1(a) and as its
     denominator the Gross Leased Area of the Shopping Center. Landlord shall
     bill Tenant for such costs as a separate charge in advance on the first day
     of each calendar month in an amount estimated by Landlord. Such estimate
     will be based on Landlord's projected costs for operating and maintaining
     the Common Areas for that calendar year.

          After the end of each calendar year, Landlord will furnish to Tenant a
     statement showing in reasonable detail the amount of Landlord's costs for
     such services for the preceding calendar year, any deficit will be paid by
     Tenant within thirty (30) days after demand from Landlord. Any surplus will
     be applied against Guaranteed Minimum Rent thereafter coming due. The
     annual and monthly payments for the ensuing calendar year shall be
     estimated accordingly. Changes in applicable Floor Areas shall result in
     corresponding pro rata adjustments.

          The following items shall not be included in any Common Area costs,
     Food Park Area charges and/or charges that are payable by Tenant:

               (i) debt service of any loans related to any part of the Shopping
          Center, including any interest thereon, or any expenses or charges
          related to or arising out of such loans;

               (ii) rents arising out of or becoming due under any underlying
          ground lease, together with any expenses or charges related to or
          arising out of such ground lease;

               (iii) costs incurred in the encapsulation, disposal, removal or
          abatement of Hazardous Materials from within, upon or beneath the
          Shopping Center;

               (iv) cost of repairs or replacements to cure latent defects in
          the structural elements of the Shopping Center;

               (v) capital expenditures or depreciation, except for capital
          expenditures that will reduce the cost of maintaining the Common Areas
          and depreciation of equipment used to maintain the Common Areas;

               (vi) contributions to any "reserve fund" (or the like) which
          Landlord may maintain for the purpose of paying costs associated with
          any future repairs, replacements or modification of the Common Areas
          or Food Park Area;

               (vii) expenditures for the initial improvements constructed upon
          the Shopping Center or for expenditures for the initial improvements
          of any expansion, alteration or modification thereof;

               (viii) costs of any items to the extent Landlord is reimbursed
          from insurance proceeds;

                                       17

<PAGE>

               (ix) wages, salaries, or other benefits paid to any off-site
          employees except to the extent of the management fee and the fifteen
          percent (15%) administrative fee specifically set forth in Paragraphs
          9(b) and 9(d) of this Lease is applied thereto;

               (x) costs, disbursements or expenses (including, but not limited
          to, advertising expenses, legal fees, vacancy costs, rent or other
          rent concessions and/or refurbishment or improvement expenses, leasing
          commissions, attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with or arising
          out of negotiations or disputes with tenants or other occupants or
          prospective tenants of the Shopping Center, or associated with the
          enforcement, defense, execution or renewal of any lease or recovery of
          possession of any tenant's premises or the defense of Landlord's title
          to or interest in the Shopping Center or any part thereof or defense
          of any alleged violation by Landlord of any lease affecting the
          Shopping Center or part thereof;

               (xi) increases in insurance premiums due specifically as a result
          of another tenant's use of its premises or due to a violation by
          another tenant of its lease;

               (xii) repairs, restoration or other work resulting from any
          eminent domain proceeding or similar governmental or
          quasi-governmental taking or deed or sale in lieu thereof,

               (xiii) costs that the Landlord is entitled to recover from third
          party contractors or warrantors as a result of provisions contained in
          their specific contracts and/or warranties;

               (xiv) costs related to or compensation to employees or other
          persons utilized in commercial concessions (other than Landlord's
          customer service booth or similar concession) owned or operated by
          Landlord, except where concessions owned are offered solely for the
          benefit of the tenants or other occupants of the Shopping Center;

               (xv) costs, fines or penalties incurred due to violations by
          Landlord of any lease or any governmental laws, rules or regulations;
          or

               (xvi) overhead and profit paid to any subsidiary or affiliate of
          Landlord to the extent that the cost thereof would not have been paid
          had the services and materials been provided by an unaffiliated third
          party on a competitive basis.

          (c) Security. Landlord may, from time to time and to the extent it
     deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion, determine whether to supply
     security services in the Common Areas and additional traffic control for
     the Shopping Center. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease,
     Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damages suffered by Tenant or
     anyone else by failure to supply such services or for any loss attributable
     to such services when they are supplied, no matter how caused. It is
     specifically understood and agreed that, by supplying such services,
     Landlord shall not be deemed to relieve Tenant of its duty to maintain
     security within the Demised Premises nor of its performance of the terms,
     covenants and conditions of this Lease. If any such security services are
     provided, the costs for the same shall be included in Common Area costs set
     out in Paragraph 9(b) above.

          (d) It is understood that Landlord may permit one or more "Mass
     Transit" stops in the Common Areas of the Shopping Center for public
     transportation at such locations and at such times, from time to time, as
     Landlord may desire.

          (e) Tenant shall pay its pro rata share of the costs and expenses, if
     any, to Landlord for compliance with any governmental law, statute or
     regulation in connection with any environmental or energy controls enacted
     after the date hereof including, but not limited to, any governmental
     parking tax, on the same basis as provided for the cost of Common Area
     Maintenance under Paragraph 9(b), provided such expense is amortized in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

          (f) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Lease, if any governmental
     law, statute, ordinance, regulation, executive order or proclamation or
     other governmental requirement or any governmental regulation approved by
     Landlord requires or recommends that Landlord not perform any obligation as
     contained herein in connection with any energy generation and any energy
     conservation or use program, the Landlord may comply therewith without
     being deemed in violation of this Lease.

                                       18

     10. Utilities

     During the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay for all electricity, heat,
air-conditioning, water, sewage, janitor service, garbage disposal and other
utilities or services required by it in the use of the Demised Premises.
Landlord may elect to furnish any such utilities or services to Tenant, or may
contract with a third party to provide such utilities and services to Tenant, in
which event Tenant agrees to purchase the same from Landlord or Landlord's
designee provided that Landlord or Landlord's designee shall not charge more for
those services than the consumer rate that would be charged by the public
service corporation, municipal authority or other entity, as the case may be,
supplying similar services to a similar sized commercial customer in the area in
which the Demised Premises are situated. In addition, Landlord may elect to
furnish heat and air-conditioning to the Demised Premises by a central system
serving other parts of the Shopping Center, in which event Landlord will pay for
the cost of utilities incurred in providing heating and air-conditioning and for
all repairs and replacements necessary to maintain the equipment (excluding any
repairs which are the obligation of Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 8), and Tenant
will pay to Landlord in monthly installments for such heating and
air-conditioning, as additional rent, a sum determined on such reasonable and
non-discriminatory basis as Landlord may prescribe. Landlord reserves the right
thereafter to discontinue the use of said central system. Should Landlord elect
to install such system, Tenant agrees, at Tenant's expense, to connect Tenant's
equipment to Landlord's system. Landlord may elect to supply Tenant with
electricity for lighting and miscellaneous power needs, in which event Tenant
will pay to Landlord in monthly installments for such electricity, as additional
rent, a sum determined in accordance with Exhibit F which is designated "Energy
Service and Energy Charges".

     Tenant agrees to operate any separate heating and air-conditioning unit in
the Demised Premises during all hours that Tenant's store is open for business
and during all hours that the heat and air-conditioning units for the enclosed
mall area are in operation, but in no event later than 10:00 p.m. or earlier
than 8:00 a.m.

     Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damages should the
furnishing of any utilities by Landlord be interrupted or required to be
terminated because of necessary repairs or improvements or any cause beyond the
reasonable control of Landlord. Nor shall any such interruption or cessation
relieve Tenant from the performance of any of Tenant's covenants, conditions and
agreements under this Lease. However, in the event it becomes reasonably
necessary for Tenant to cease operating its business within the Demised Premises
for a period of time in excess of three (3) consecutive business days as a
result of any interruption or termination in any utilities or services required
to be furnished by Landlord and in the further event that such interruption or
termination is due to the fault or negligence of Landlord or due to repairs,
installations or improvements which are the responsibility of Landlord, then
Guaranteed Minimum Rent and other charges under this Lease shall thereafter
abate until such services or utilities are restored.


     11. Laws and Insurance Standards

     Tenant shall, during the Lease Term, at Tenant's sole cost and expense,
promptly comply with all laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, directives and
standards of all federal, state, county and municipal governments and all
departments and agencies thereof having jurisdiction over the Demised Premises
now or hereafter in effect. Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense,
make all changes to the Demised Premises which are or hereafter may be required
in order to comply with the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant
shall not be required to make any structural changes to the Demised Premises due
to the provisions of this Paragraph 11. Tenant expressly covenants and agrees to
indemnify and save Landlord harmless from any penalties, damages or charges
imposed for any violation of any of the covenants herein expressed, whether
occasioned by Tenant or any person upon the Demised Premises by license or
invitation of Tenant or holding or occupying the same or any part thereof under
or by right of Tenant. If Tenant fails to comply with any of the foregoing, and
as the result thereof the premiums for any insurance which Landlord may then or
thereafter have covering the Shopping Center or any part thereof are increased,
then, without limiting Landlord's other remedies or rights in regard to such
failure, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand all increases in any such
insurance premiums on the Shopping Center, or such part of any such increase as
Landlord may require on a reasonable basis.

     Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for any damages should Tenant's
use and occupancy of the Demised Premises for the purposes set forth in this
Lease be prohibited or substantially impaired by reason of any law, ordinance or
regulation of federal, state, county or municipal governments or by reason of
any act of any legal or governmental or other public authority. Landlord shall
be required to obtain all governmental licenses and permits and comply with all
requirements, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, directives and standards of
all federal, state, county and municipal governments or agencies or constituted
public authorities having jurisdiction thereof applicable to Landlord's lease
obligations and its operation of the Shopping Center.

     12. Indemnification of Landlord and Tenant and Liability Insurance

          (a) Subject to Paragraph 13(c), Tenant shall indemnify, defend and
     hold Landlord harmless from suits, actions, damages, liability and expense
     in connection with loss of life, bodily or personal injury or property
     damage arising from or out of any occurrence in, upon, at or from the
     Demised Premises or the occupancy or use by Tenant of the Demised Premises
     or any part thereof, or occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission
     by Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, servants, invitees,
     licensees or concessionaires.

          (b) Tenant shall store its property in, and shall occupy, the Demised
     Premises at its own risk. Landlord and its agents, employees and
     contractors shall not be liable for, and Tenant hereby releases, all claims
     for bodily injury, death or property damage sustained by Tenant, or any
     person claiming through Tenant, and resulting from any fire, accident,
     occurrence or condition in or upon the Demised Premises or within the
     Shopping Center. In particular, Landlord shall not be liable for (i) any
     loss or damage to merchandise, equipment, fixtures or other personal
     property of Tenant, or to Tenant's business; (ii) any injury, loss or
     damage to any person or to any property of Tenant or any other person that
     may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of persons occupying
     other premises in the Shopping Center; (iii) any injury, loss or damage to
     any person or to any property of Tenant or any other person caused by or
     resulting from bursting, breakage, leakage, running, backing up, seepage or
     overflow of water or sewage in any part of the Demised Premises or the
     Shopping Center; from steam, snow or ice; or from any defect in or
     negligence in the occupancy, construction, operation or use of the Demised
     Premises, the Shopping Center or any machinery, apparatus or equipment
     located therein. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord in case of
     fire or accidents in the Demised Premises. The foregoing indemnity
     contained in Paragraph 12(a) and the waiver contained in this Paragraph
     12(b) shall not apply to liability for bodily injury, death or property
     damage occurring within the Demised Premises and caused by the negligence
     or intentional misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees (acting
     within the scope of their employment by Landlord), to the extent that
     liability for such occurrence is not coverable by the type of insurance
     required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease.

          (c) Tenant shall at all times during the Lease Term maintain in full
     force and effect the following insurance in standard form generally in use
     in the Commonwealth of Virginia, with insurance companies licensed to do
     business in said Commonwealth on an admitted basis, which have a financial
     rating of at least A:XII as rated in the most recent edition of Best
     Insurance Reports and which have been in business for over five (5) years:

               (i) Comprehensive public liability insurance covering bodily
          injury, death and property damage in the amount of at least One
          Million and no/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence, with an
          aggregate limit of at least One Million and no/100 Dollars
          ($1,000,000.00). In addition, Tenant shall maintain an umbrella policy
          of public liability insurance in the amount of at least Five Million
          and no/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) per occurrence, with an aggregate
          limit of at least Five Million and no/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00).

               (ii) Tenant further agrees that the insurance contained in
          subsection (i) above, (1) shall not contain the "care, custody and
          control" exclusion, or in the alternative, (2) it shall obtain
          extended coverage fire legal liability insurance in the amount of at
          least Fifty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) per occurrence.

          The insurance required by this Paragraph 12(c) shall: (i) name
     Landlord and any holder of a first deed of trust encumbering the Demised
     Premises as additional insureds, (ii) contain a contractual liability
     endorsement; (iii) contain an endorsement requiring thirty (30) days'
     written notice from the insurance company to all insureds prior to the
     cancellation of the policy, of any change in coverage, scope or amount of
     the policy; and (iv) contain an endorsement providing that no act or
     omission of any insured shall invalidate the interest of any other insured,
     or constitute a defense against the claims of such insured. Prior to the
     commencement of Tenant's Work, and thereafter not less than thirty (30)
     days prior to the expiration of any such policy, Tenant shall deliver to
     Landlord copies of such policies or certificates evidencing the same,
     together with satisfactory evidence of proof of payment of premiums.

          (d) Tenant shall, at all times during the Lease Term, maintain
     workmen's compensation insurance to comply with the applicable laws of the
     Commonwealth of Virginia.

                                       20

<PAGE>

          (e) The insurance required by this Paragraph 12 may be included in
     policies of insurance covering multiple locations, provided that: (i) in
     all other respects, each such policy shall comply with the requirements of
     this Paragraph 12; (ii) the policy shall specify, or the insuring party
     shall furnish the other party with a written certificate from the insurer
     specifying, (A) the maximum amount of the total insurance afforded by the
     blanket policy to the Demised Premises or the Shopping Center, as the case
     may be, and (B) any sublimits in the blanket policy applicable to the
     Demised Premises or the Shopping Center, as the case may be, which amounts
     shall not be less than the amounts required by this Paragraph 12; and (iii)
     the protection afforded the insuring party under the blanket policy shall
     be no less than that which would have been afforded under a separate policy
     or policies relating only to the Demised Premises or the Shopping Center,
     as the case may be.

          (f) As used in this Paragraph 12, the term "Landlord" shall be deemed
     to include any person or entity with which Landlord contracts to manage the
     Shopping Center.


13.  Property Insurance, Damage and Destruction

          (a) Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 4, at all times during the
     Lease Term, Landlord shall pay all premiums for and maintain in effect,
     with a responsible insurance company or companies, policies of insurance
     covering the building of which the Demised Premises constitute a part,
     providing protection to the extent of not less than ninety percent (90%) of
     the insurable value of said building, including Tenant's Work, against all
     casualties included under standard insurance industry practices within the
     classification "Fire and Extended Coverage, Vandalism and Malicious
     Mischief" and including Sprinkler Leakage Insurance. At its option,
     Landlord may elect to insure the building of which the Demised Premises
     constitute a part against all insured casualties included under standard
     insurance practices within the classification "Combined All Risk Fire and
     Boiler", including flood and earthquake protection. Nothing in this
     Paragraph 13(a) shall prevent the taking out of policies of blanket
     insurance, which may cover real and/or personal property and improvements
     in addition to the building of which the Demised Premises constitute a
     part; provided, however, that in all other respects each such policy shall
     comply with the other provisions of this Paragraph 13(a). Nothing herein
     shall be construed to require Landlord to insure those items that Tenant is
     obligated to insure pursuant to Paragraph 13(b) hereof. In order to assist
     Landlord in deciding the amount of insurance which it will obtain for
     Tenant's Work, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, upon the completion of its
     work, and from time to time thereafter, such evidence as the Landlord may
     reasonably require as to the cost or value thereof. Landlord shall not be
     bound by such information.

          (b) At all times during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay all premiums
     for and maintain in effect, with insurance companies licensed to do
     business in said Commonwealth on an admitted basis, which have a financial
     rating of at least A:XII as rated in the most recent edition of Best
     Insurance Reports and which have been in business for over five (5) years,
     the following insurance policies:

               (i) Insurance covering Tenant's trade fixtures, furniture,
          inventory and equipment used in the Demised Premises providing
          protection to the extent of the actual replacement costs thereof
          against all casualties included under standard insurance industry
          practices within the classification "Fire and Extended Coverage,
          Vandalism and Malicious Mischief" including Sprinkler Leakage Coverage
          and covering loss of income and extra expenses from such casualty.

               (ii) Plate Glass Insurance covering the plate glass in the
          Demised Premises.

               (iii) Business Interruption Insurance for twelve (12) months.

          The policies of insurance required by this Paragraph 13(b): (i) shall
     name Landlord and any holder of a first deed of trust encumbering the
     Demised Premises as additional insureds, (ii) contain an endorsement
     requiring thirty (30) days' written notice from the insurance company to
     all insureds prior to the cancellation of the policy or any change in the
     coverage, scope or amount of the policy, and (iii) that Tenant shall be
     solely responsible for the payment of all premiums under such policy and
     that Landlord shall have no obligation for the payment thereof. Tenant will
     furnish to Landlord, within thirty (30) days before Tenant opens for
     business, and from time to time thereafter, copies of policies or
     certificates of insurance evidencing coverages required by this Lease.

                                       21

          (c) Tenant and Landlord, respectively, hereby release each other and
     their respective employees, directors, agents or invitees from any and all
     liability or responsibility to the other except if such loss may have been
     occasioned by the negligence or willful acts of such other party, its
     employees, directors, agents or invitees for all claims or any one claiming
     by, through or under it or them by way of subrogation or otherwise for any
     loss or damage to the extent Tenant or Landlord is required to maintain
     insurance (or has otherwise agreed to self insure) pursuant to this
     Paragraph 13, whether or not such insurance is in fact maintained. Tenant
     and Landlord agree to notify their respective insurers of the release of
     subrogation claims. If the foregoing release shall contravene any law with
     respect to exculpatory agreements, the liability of the party in question
     shall be deemed not released but shall be secondary to the other's insurer.

          (d) If the Demised Premises shall be partially damaged by fire or
     other casualty insured under Landlord's insurance policies, then upon
     Landlord's receipt of the insurance proceeds, Landlord shall, except as
     otherwise provided herein, repair and restore the same (exclusive of
     Tenant's trade fixtures, decorations, signs and contents) substantially to
     the condition thereof immediately prior to such damage or destruction,
     limited, however, to the extent of the insurance proceeds received by
     Landlord therefor. If (a) the Demised Premises is rendered wholly
     untenantable, or (b) the Demised Premises is damaged in whole or in part as
     a result of a risk which is not covered by Landlord's insurance policies or
     (c) the Demised Premises is damaged in whole or in part during the last
     three (3) years of the term (or of any renewal term) hereof, or (d) the
     building of which the Demised Premises forms a part or all of the buildings
     which then comprise the Shopping Center is or are damaged (whether or not
     the Demised Premises is damaged) to such an extent that the Shopping Center
     cannot in the sole judgment of Landlord be operated as an integral unit,
     then or in any of such events, Landlord may elect either to repair the
     damages as aforesaid, or to cancel this Lease by written notice of
     cancellation given to Tenant within one hundred twenty (120) days after the
     date of such occurrence, and thereupon this Lease shall cease and terminate
     with the same force and effect as though the date set forth in the
     Landlord's said notice were the date herein fixed for the expiration of the
     term hereof and Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Demised Premises to
     Landlord. Upon the termination of this Lease, as aforesaid, Tenant's
     liability for the rents reserved hereunder shall cease as of the effective
     date of the termination of this Lease, subject, however, to the provisions
     for the prior abatement of rent hereinafter set forth. Unless this Lease is
     terminated by Landlord, as aforesaid, this Lease shall remain in full force
     and effect and the parties waive the provisions of any law to the contrary,
     and Tenant shall repair, restore or replace Tenant's trade fixtures,
     decorations, signs, and contents in the Demised Premises in a manner and to
     at least a condition equal to that existing prior to their damage or
     destruction and the proceeds of all insurance carried by Tenant on said
     property shall be held in trust by Tenant for the purposes of such repair,
     restoration or replacement. If by reason of such fire or other casualty the
     Demised Premises is rendered wholly untenantable the Guaranteed Minimum
     Rent shall be fully abated, or if only partially damaged such rent shall be
     abated proportionately on a square footage basis as to that portion of the
     Demised Premises rendered untenantable, in either event (unless Landlord
     shall elect to terminate this Lease, as aforesaid) until fifteen (15) days
     after notice by Landlord to Tenant that the Demised Premises have been
     substantially repaired and restored or until Tenant's business operations
     are restored in the entire Demised Premises, whichever shall occur sooner.
     Tenant shall continue the operation of Tenant's business in the Demised
     Premises or any part thereof not so damaged during any such period to the
     extent reasonably practicable from the standpoint of prudent business
     management and, except for such abatement of the Guaranteed Minimum Rent as
     hereinabove set forth, nothing herein contained shall be construed to abate
     Tenant's obligations for the payment of the Percentage Rent or any other
     additional rents and charges reserved hereunder, except that the
     computation of such Percentage Rent shall be based upon the revised
     Guaranteed Minimum Rent as the same may be abated. If such damage or other
     casualty shall be caused by the negligence of the Tenant or of Tenant's
     subtenants, concessionaires, licensees, contractors or invitees or their
     respective agents or employees, there shall be no abatement of rent. Except
     for the abatement of the Guaranteed Minimum Rent hereinabove set forth,
     Tenant shall not be entitled to and hereby waives all claims against
     Landlord for any compensation or damage for loss of use of the whole or any
     part of the Demised Premises and/or for any inconvenience or annoyance
     occasioned by any such damage, destruction, repair or restoration. If the
     Demised Premises are damaged or destroyed, and Landlord does not elect to
     exercise its right to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall give Tenant
     written notice within ninety (90) days after the date of such damage or
     destruction as to the approximate length of time it shall take Landlord to
     restore the Demised Premises, and if this estimate for repair or
     restoration is greater than eighteen (18) months after such damage, Tenant
     shall have the right to terminate this Lease, as of the date of such
     damage, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such written notice from
     Landlord by giving Landlord written notice of cancellation. If such repairs
     are not completed within eighteen (18) months from the date of damage,
     Tenant may terminate this Lease within thirty (30) days after the
     expiration of said twelve (12) month period. In the event of such
     cancellation, both parties shall be relieved of all

                                       22

<PAGE>

     obligations under this Lease saving and excepting those obligations
     accruing before the date of such cancellation.

     14. Ownership of Certain Property and Surrender of Premises

     Upon the termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender to Landlord the
Demised Premises, including, without limitation, all buildings, apparatus and
fixtures (except signs, trade fixtures and furniture installed by Tenant) then
upon the Demised Premises, broom clean and in good condition and repair, and all
alterations, improvements, additions, machinery and equipment which may be made
or installed from time to time by either party hereto to, in, upon or about the
Demised Premises; and, upon such termination, such property shall be surrendered
to Landlord by Tenant without injury, damage or disturbance thereto or payment
therefor. The property to be surrendered shall include, but not be limited to,
all components of the heating and air-conditioning (including the portion
thereof outside the Demised Premises, if any), plumbing and electrical systems,
lighting fixtures and fluorescent tubes and bulbs, all dumbwaiters, conveyors
and all partitions (whether removable or otherwise). Tenant shall promptly
repair any damage to the Demised Premises resulting from the installation or
removal of any of the foregoing items.


     15. Landlord's Entry, Easement for Pipes and Excavation

          (a) Landlord's Entry. Landlord shall have the right to enter upon the
     Demised Premises at all reasonable times during the Lease Term for the
     purposes of inspection, maintenance, repair and alteration and to show the
     same to prospective tenants or purchasers, provided that Landlord shall not
     materially interfere with Tenant's operations in the Demised Premises.

          (b) Easement for Pipes. Tenant shall permit Landlord to erect, use,
     maintain and repair pipes, cables, conduits, plumbing, vents and wire in,
     to and through the Demised Premises as often and to the extent that
     Landlord may now or hereafter deem to be necessary or appropriate for the
     proper operation and maintenance of the Shopping Center, provided, no such
     use shall be visible from the sales area of the Demised Premises unless
     essential, and such work shall be performed with a minimum of disruption to
     Tenant and the business conducted at the Demised Premises.

          (c) Excavation. If an excavation shall be made upon land adjacent to
     the Demised Premises, or shall be authorized to be made, Tenant shall
     afford to the person causing or authorized to cause such excavation,
     license to enter upon the Demised Premises for the purpose of doing such
     work as Landlord shall deem necessary to preserve the wall or the building
     of which the Demised Premises form a part from injury or damage to support
     the same by proper foundations, without any claim for damages or
     indemnification against Landlord or diminution or abatement of any rent.


     16. Default

          (a) Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default: (i)
     Tenant's failure to make any payment of Guaranteed Minimum Rent, Percentage
     Rent, additional rent or any other rent or sum of money becoming due under
     this Lease after any such payment's due date; (ii) Tenant's failure to take
     possession of the Demised Premises within thirty (30) days after Landlord
     has delivered the Demised Premises to Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 5; (iii)
     Tenant's violation or failure to perform or observe any other covenant or
     condition within thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Landlord; or if
     such violation or failure is remediable but is of such a nature that it
     cannot be remedied within such thirty (30) day period, then for such longer
     period as may reasonably be required provided that Tenant promptly
     commences and diligently pursues such remedy to completion; (iv) Tenant's
     abandonment or vacation of the Demised Premises; (v) an Event of Bankruptcy
     as specified in Paragraph 17 with respect to Tenant, any general partner of
     Tenant (a "General Partner") or any Guarantor; or (vi) Tenant's dissolution
     or liquidation.

          (b) If there shall be an Event of Default, including an Event of
     Default prior to the Rent Commencement Date, then Landlord shall have the
     right, at its sole option, to terminate this Lease. In addition, with or
     without terminating this Lease, Landlord may re-enter, terminate Tenant's
     right of possession and take possession of the Demised Premises. In the
     event of an Event of Default due to Tenant's non-payment of Guaranteed
     Minimum Rent, Percentage Rent, additional rent or any other charges due
     hereunder, then Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of non-payment
     and a ten (10) day opportunity to cure such Event of Default prior to
     exercising its rights under this Paragraph 16. The provisions of this
     Paragraph 16 shall operate as a notice 

                                       23

<PAGE>

     to quit, any other notice to quit or of Landlord's intention to re-enter
     the Demised Premises being hereby expressly waived. If necessary, Landlord
     may proceed to recover possession of the Demised Premises under and by
     virtue of the laws of the State in which the Shopping Center is located in,
     or by such other proceedings, including re-entry and possession, as may be
     applicable. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease and/or elects to
     terminate Tenant's right of possession, then everything contained in this
     Lease to be done and performed by Landlord shall cease, without prejudice,
     however, to Landlord's right to recover from Tenant all rent and other sums
     accrued through the later of termination or Landlord's recovery of
     possession. Whether or not this Lease and/or Tenant's right of possession
     is terminated, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Demised
     Premises or any part thereof, however, nothing herein shall require
     Landlord to lease the Demised Premises over other vacant space in the
     Shopping Center, alone or together with other premises, for such rent and
     upon such terms and conditions (which may include concessions or free rent
     and alterations of the Demised Premises) as Landlord, in its sole
     discretion, may determine, but Landlord shall not be liable for, nor shall
     Tenant's obligations be diminished by reason of, Landlord's failure to
     relet the Demised Premises or collect any rent due upon such reletting.
     Whether or not this Lease is terminated, Tenant nevertheless shall remain
     liable for any Guaranteed Minimum Rent, Percentage Rent, additional rent or
     damages which may be due or sustained prior to such default, all costs,
     fees and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees,
     brokerage fees and expenses incurred in reletting and placing the Demised
     Premises in first-class rentable condition, including improvements and
     tenant finish necessitated to obtain the new tenant) incurred by Landlord
     in pursuit of its remedies and in renting the Demised Premises to others
     from time to time. Tenant shall also be liable for additional damages which
     at Landlord's election shall be either:

               (i) an amount equal to the Guaranteed Minimum Rent and additional
          rent which would have become due during the remainder of the Lease
          Term, less the amount of rent, if any, which Landlord receives during
          such period from others to whom the Demised Premises may be rented
          (other than additional rent payable as a result of any failure of such
          other person to perform any of its obligations), which damages shall
          be computed and payable in monthly installments, in advance, on the
          first day of each calendar month following Tenant's default and
          continuing until the date on which the Lease Term would have expired
          but for Tenant's default. Separate suits may be brought to collect any
          such damages for any month(s), and such suit shall not in any manner
          prejudice Landlord's right to collect any such damages for any
          subsequent month(s), or Landlord may defer any such sums until after
          the expiration of the Lease Term, in which event the cause of action
          shall be deemed not to have accrued until the expiration of the Lease
          Term; or

               (ii) an amount equal to the present value (as of the date of
          Tenant's default) of Guaranteed Minimum Rent and Percentage Rent which
          would have become due during the remainder of the Lease Term, which
          damages shall be payable to Landlord in one lump sum on demand. For
          the purpose of this Paragraph 16(b), present value shall be computed
          by discounting at a rate equal to one (1) whole percentage point above
          the discount rate then in effect at the Federal Reserve Bank of New
          York. Tenant waives any right of redemption, re-entry or restoration
          of the operation of this Lease under any present or future law,
          including any such right which Tenant would otherwise have if Tenant
          shall be dispossessed for any cause.

          (c) Landlord's rights and remedies set forth in this Lease are
     cumulative and in addition to Landlord's other rights and remedies at law
     or in equity, including those available as a result of any anticipatory
     breach of this Lease. Landlord's exercise of any such right or remedy shall
     not prevent the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or
     remedy. Landlord's delay or failure to exercise or enforce any of
     Landlord's rights or remedies or Tenant's obligations shall not constitute
     a waiver of any such rights, remedies or obligations. Landlord shall not be
     deemed to have waived any default unless such waiver expressly is set forth
     in an instrument signed by Landlord. If Landlord waives in writing any
     default, then such waiver shall not be construed as a waiver of any
     covenant or condition set forth in this Lease except as to the specific
     circumstances described in such written waiver. Neither Tenant's payment of
     a lesser amount than the sum due hereunder nor Tenant's endorsement or
     statement on any check or letter accompanying such payment shall be deemed
     an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept the same without
     prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such sum or to
     pursue any other remedy available to Landlord. Landlord's re-entry and
     acceptance of keys shall not be considered an acceptance of a surrender of
     this Lease.

          (d) If more than one natural person and/or entity shall execute this
     Lease as Tenant, then the liability of each such person or entity shall be
     joint and several. Similarly, if Tenant is a 

                                       24

<PAGE>

     general partnership or other entity the partners or members of which are 
     subject to personal liability, then the liability of each such partner or 
     member shall be joint and several.

          (e) If Tenant fails to make any payment to any third party or to do
     any act herein required to be made or done by Tenant, then Landlord may,
     but shall not be required to, make such payment or do such act. Landlord's
     taking such action shall not be considered a cure of such failure by Tenant
     or prevent Landlord from pursuing any remedy to which it is otherwise
     entitled in connection with such failure. If Landlord elects to make such
     payment or do such act, then all expenses incurred, plus interest thereon
     at the lesser of: (i) a rate per annum (the "Default Rate") which is five
     (5) whole percentage points higher than the Prime Rate as published in the
     Wall Street Journal or if such rate is no longer published then the rate
     which is five (5) whole percentage points in excess of the Prime Rate of
     American Security Bank (Washington, D.C.), or (ii) the highest non-usurious
     rate permitted under the laws of the jurisdiction where the Shopping Center
     is located, from the date incurred to the date of payment thereof by
     Tenant, shall constitute additional rent.

          (f) In order to enable Tenant to finance or refinance the purchase of
     trade fixtures, equipment and inventory, Landlord agrees to subordinate any
     lien which it may have on Tenant's trade fixtures, equipment and inventory
     to the rights of any bonafide mortgagee or secured creditor of Tenant for
     the purpose of financing said trade fixtures, equipment and inventory for
     use in the Demised Premises. Landlord will permit any lender to have full
     rights to the collateral listed above.


     17. Bankruptcy.

     The following shall be Events of Bankruptcy under this Lease: (i) Tenant, a
Guarantor or a General Partner becoming insolvent, as that term is defined in
Title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"), or under the
insolvency laws of any state (the "Insolvency Laws"); (ii) appointment of a
receiver or custodian for any property of Tenant, a Guarantor or a General
Partner, or the institution of a foreclosure or attachment action upon any
property of Tenant, a Guarantor or a General Partner; (iii) filing of a
voluntary petition by Tenant, a Guarantor or a General Partner under the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or Insolvency Laws; (iv) filing of an
involuntary petition against Tenant, a Guarantor or a General Partner as the
subject debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or Insolvency Laws, which either (x) is
not dismissed within sixty (60) days of filing, or (y) results in the issuance
of an order for relief against the debtor; or (v) Tenant, a Guarantor or a
General Partner making or consenting to an assignment for the benefit of
creditors or a composition of creditors.


     18. Remedies Cumulative - Nonwaiver

     No remedy herein or otherwise conferred upon or reserved to Landlord or
Tenant shall be considered exclusive of any other remedy, but the same shall be
distinct, separate and cumulative and 

                                       25

<PAGE>

shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Lease, or now or 
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute; and every power and
remedy given by this Lease to Landlord or Tenant may be exercised from time to
time as often as occasion may arise, or as may be deemed expedient. No delay or
omission of Landlord or Tenant to exercise any right or power arising from any
default on the part of the other shall impair any such right or power, or shall
be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence thereto. In
particular, the receipt by Landlord of rent with knowledge of the breach of any
covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach and no
provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord unless
such waiver is in writing and signed by Landlord.


     19. Eminent Domain

     If any substantial part of the Demised Premises or more than thirty percent
(30%) of the total Shopping Center is taken under the power of eminent domain
(including any conveyance made in lieu thereof), and such taking makes the
operation of Tenant's business on the Demised Premises impractical, then Tenant
shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving Landlord written notice
of such termination within thirty (30) days after such taking; and if Tenant
does not so elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord, at its option, may either
terminate this Lease or apply the proceeds of such condemnation to repair and
restore the Demised Premises to tenantable condition, in which case the rental
to be paid by Tenant hereunder shall be proportionately and equitably reduced.

     All compensation awarded for any taking (or the proceeds of private sale in
lieu thereof) whether for the whole or a part of the Demised Premises, shall be
the property of Landlord, whether such award is compensation for damages to
Landlord's or Tenant's interest in the Demised Premises, and Tenant hereby
assigns all of its interest in any such award to Landlord; provided, however,
Landlord shall have no interest in any award made to Tenant for relocation
expenses or for the taking of Tenant's trade fixtures and other property within
the Demised Premises (which Tenant is authorized to remove at termination
pursuant to Paragraph 14) if a separate award of such items is made to Tenant,
but any such award to Tenant shall be subject to the prior rights of the first
mortgagee.


     20. Financial Information; Statement of Tenant; Amendment of Lease

          (a) During the Lease Term, Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days of
     written request by Landlord, deliver to Landlord any and all of the
     following:

               (i) Such financial information concerning Tenant and Tenant's
          business operations (and the Guarantor of this Lease, if the Lease is
          guaranteed) as may be reasonably requested by Landlord or any
          mortgagee or prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Shopping
          Center.

               (ii) An executed and acknowledged instrument amending this Lease
          in such respects as may be required by any holder or prospective
          holder of a mortgage or deed of trust on the Demised Premises,
          provided that any such amendment shall not affect the Lease Term or
          the rent or other charges to be paid by Tenant under this Lease.



          (b) Any financial information delivered pursuant to Paragraph 20(a)(i)
     and any amendment delivered pursuant to Paragraph 20(a)(ii) may be relied
     upon by any mortgagee, prospective mortgagee or prospective purchaser of
     the Shopping Center; provided, however, that any such financial information
     and any such amendment shall be utilized only for bona fide business
     reasons related to such mortgage, purchase and/or obtaining thereof, except
     where the contrary is required by law. Landlord agrees to keep such
     information confidential, except as may be contemplated in this Paragraph
     20 and except as may be required by law.


     21.  Assignment, Subletting and Hypothecation of Lease

          (a) Except as expressly permitted in Paragraph 21(c), Tenant shall not
     voluntarily or by operation of law, assign, transfer, mortgage or otherwise
     encumber all or any part of Tenant's 

                                       26

<PAGE>

     interest in this Lease or in the Demised Premises or sublet the whole or
     any part of the Demised Premises without first obtaining the prior written
     consent of Landlord, which consent shall be at the uncontrolled discretion
     of Landlord. The consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall
     not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent
     assignment or subletting. Receipt by Landlord of rent due hereunder from
     any party other than Tenant shall not be deemed to act as a consent to any
     such assignment or subletting, nor relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay
     the rent provided in this Lease for the full Lease Term.

          In no event shall an assignment or sublease be permitted to any entity
     which is (i) an employee benefit plan as defined in Section 3(3) of the
     Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, (ii) an entity
     whose assets constitute plan assets of one or more such plans within the
     meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, or (iii) subject to state statutes
     regulating investments of an fiduciary obligations with respect to
     governmental plans.

          (b) Except for assignments or subleases that are allowed without
     Landlord's consent, if at any time Tenant wants to assign, sublet or
     otherwise transfer all or part of the Demised Premises or this Lease, then
     Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord ("Sublease Proposal Notice")
     of the area proposed to be assigned or sublet (the "Proposed Sublet Space")
     and the term for which Tenant desires to sublet the Proposed Sublet Space
     and such other information as Landlord shall request. Landlord shall have
     the right in its sole and absolute discretion to terminate this Lease with
     respect to the Proposed Sublet Space, however Tenant may void such
     termination by withdrawing the sublease proposal. Landlord shall exercise
     such right by sending Tenant written notice within forty-five (45) days
     after Landlord's receipt of the Sublease Proposal Notice. If the Proposed
     Sublet Space does not constitute the entire Demised Premises and Landlord
     elects to terminate this Lease with respect to the Proposed Sublet Space,
     then (i) Tenant shall tender the Proposed Sublet Space to Landlord on a
     date specified in Landlord's notice (not more than sixty (60) days after
     the date of such notice) as if such specified date had been originally set
     forth in this Lease as the expiration date of the Lease Term with respect
     to the Proposed Sublet Space, and (ii) as to all portions of the Demised
     Premises other than the Proposed Sublet Space, this Lease shall remain in
     full force and effect except that the Guaranteed Minimum Rent, Percentage
     Rent and additional rent shall be reduced pro rata. Tenant shall pay all
     expenses of construction required to permit the operation of the Proposed
     Sublet Space separate from the balance of the Demised Premises. If the
     Proposed Sublet Space constitutes the entire Demised Premises and Landlord
     elects to terminate this Lease, then (i) Tenant shall tender the Demised
     Premises to Landlord on a date specified in Landlord's notice (not more
     than sixty (60) days after the date of such notice), and (ii) the Lease
     Term shall terminate on such specified date.

          (c) In the event Tenant is a corporation and a subsidiary of another
     corporation, it may, without Landlord's consent, assign this Lease to, or
     merge with, its parent corporation or a subsidiary of Tenant or Tenant's
     parent corporation. Any other merger, or any dissolution, consolidation or
     other reorganization of Tenant or the sale or other transfer (except as the
     result of death) of more than fifty percent (50%) of the corporate stock of
     Tenant or fifty percent (50%) of its voting stock or fifty percent (50%) of
     the ownership interest of Tenant shall constitute an assignment of this
     Lease for all purposes of this Paragraph 21 and is prohibited without the
     written consent of Landlord. Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold
     its consent to any assignment resulting from a merger, consolidation, sale
     or other transfer of assets having like effect which is otherwise
     prohibited; provided that Landlord promptly receives all information
     reasonably requested by Landlord relating thereto; and provided further
     that neither the reputation, experience, net worth nor financial condition
     of any such assignee is less than that of Tenant on the Rent Commencement
     Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant shall become a publicly held
     corporation, the sale of Tenant's stock pursuant to an initial public
     offering shall not require Landlord's approval so long as Tenant remains
     unchanged as an operating entity. Additionally, if Tenant's stock is listed
     and traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter
     market, the sale of Tenant's stock shall not require Landlord's approval as
     long as Tenant remains unchanged as an operating entity.

          (d) In the event Landlord consents to any transfer of Tenant's
     interest in this Lease, or if Landlord's consent is not required, then the
     term "Tenant" shall thereafter be deemed to include, without further
     reference, the party to whom such interest is transferred, such as any
     subtenant, assignee, concessionaire or licensee. If this Lease is assigned
     or if the Demised Premises or any part thereof are occupied by anybody
     other than Tenant, without Landlord's prior written consent, Landlord may,
     nevertheless, collect rent from the alleged assignee or occupant and apply
     the net amount collected to rent herein reserved; but such action shall not
     constitute a waiver of this Paragraph 21. Notwithstanding any assignment or
     sublease permitted by this Lease or consented to by Landlord, Tenant and
     any Guarantor of this Lease shall remain fully liable and shall not be
     released from performing any of the terms of this Lease, even if this Lease
     is amended; but,

                                       27

<PAGE>

     in the case of an amendment without Tenant's written consent, after
     assignment, Tenant's obligations shall be limited to those existing at the
     time of assignment. If the Lease is assigned and Tenant remains liable as
     set out in the preceding sentence, Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with a
     copy of any notices of default.

          (e) Any concession or license granted for any part of the sales area
     of the Demised Premises shall be considered a sublease for the purposes of
     this Paragraph 21.

          (f) In the event Tenant assigns this Lease, or sublets all or
     substantially all of the Demised Premises, and the rent and other amounts
     payable by the assignee or sublessee exceed the rent and other amounts
     payable by Tenant under this Lease, then the excess shall be paid to
     Landlord monthly in arrears, on or before the first (1st) day of each
     calendar month, as additional rent.


     22.  Promotion of the Shopping Center

          (a) Marketing Fund. Landlord may, in Landlord's sole discretion,
     establish a Marketing Fund ("Marketing Fund") and secure therewith
     professional advertising and sales promotional services and activities for
     the benefit of the Shopping Center or the Integrated Shopping Center. In
     connection with the Marketing Fund, Landlord agrees to secure, in
     Landlord's sole discretion, promotion and secretarial services and, using
     funds from the Marketing Fund, (i) to pay the salaries and expenses for all
     personnel and (ii) to pay for the rental, utilities, telephone and space
     used for securing the services of such Marketing Fund. Tenant agrees to pay
     Landlord an amount as specified in Paragraph 1(k)(i) as a Marketing Fund
     contribution. Any partial calendar year shall be prorated on a three
     hundred sixty-five (365) day basis. Tenant agrees that at the end of every
     calendar year during the Lease Term the annual Marketing Fund fee described
     in Paragraph 1(k)(i) shall be increased over the fee payable in such
     calendar year in proportion to the increase in the cost-of-living
     (determined as provided below) between the beginning date of such calendar
     year and the ending date of such calendar year, such increase not to exceed
     five percent (5%) per year. Such increased fee shall be payable during the
     next calendar year and shall be the base amount used to calculate the next
     increase in such fee. The base date applicable to calculating the increase
     at the end of the first calendar year shall be January 1 of the year in
     which the Rent Commencement Date occurs. The base date for each subsequent
     calendar year after the first calendar year shall be January 1 of such
     year.

          The cost-of-living on each such date shall be measured by the Consumer
     Price Index For All Urban Consumers specified for all items, U.S. City
     Average (1982-84 = 100) published on the date nearest to each such date by
     the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor;
     or, if such index is not then in use, by the index most nearly comparable
     thereto, as selected by Landlord.

          (b) Advertising Fund. Landlord may, in Landlord's sole discretion,
     establish an Advertising Fund ("Advertising Fund") for the benefit of the
     Shopping Center or the Integrated Shopping Center. Tenant agrees to pay
     Landlord an amount as specified in Paragraph 1(k)(ii) as a Advertising Fund
     contribution. Any partial calendar year shall be prorated on a three
     hundred sixty-five (365) day basis. Tenant agrees that at the end of every
     calendar year during the Lease Term the annual Advertising Fund fee
     described in Paragraph 1(k)(ii) shall be increased over the fee payable in
     such calendar year in proportion to the increase in the cost-of-living
     {determined as provided in Paragraph 22(a) above} between the beginning
     date of such calendar year and the ending date of such calendar year, such
     increase not to exceed five percent (5%) per year. Such increased fee shall
     be payable during the next calendar year and shall be the base amount used
     to calculate the next increase in such fee. The base date applicable to
     calculating the increase at the end of the first calendar year shall be
     January 1 of the year in which the Rent Commencement Date occurs. The base
     date for each subsequent calendar year after the first calendar year shall
     be January 1 of such year.

                                       28

<PAGE>

          (c) Merchant's Association. Until such time as Landlord shall elect to
     provide the Marketing Fund service set forth in Paragraph 22(a) above or at
     such time or times as Landlord shall not elect to provide the Marketing
     Fund, Tenant agrees to become and remain a member of the Merchant's
     Association for the entire Lease Term if established. Tenant agrees to pay
     as dues to said Merchant's Association the amounts set forth in Paragraph
     22(a) above as if Landlord had established the Marketing Fund.

          (d) Payments. The payments required to be made pursuant to this
     Paragraph 22 shall be paid to Landlord at the address stated in Paragraph
     4(f) by Tenant in monthly installments in advance on the first day of each
     month and shall be treated as additional rent. The failure of any other
     tenant in the Shopping Center to contribute to the Merchant's Association,
     the Marketing Fund or the Advertising Fund, shall not in any way release
     Tenant from Tenant's obligations hereunder, such obligations being separate
     and independent covenants of this Lease. Landlord agrees to notify Tenant
     annually of any increases in the charges set out in this Paragraph 22 and
     Tenant shall not be required to pay any increases until it has received
     such notice(s), however it is understood and agreed that such increased
     charge(s) shall be retroactive to the date(s) provided herein.


     23. Notices

     All notices provided for in this Lease shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to be given when sent by prepaid registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested, addressed to the parties at the notice addresses set out in
Paragraph 1(p)(i) for Tenant and Paragraph 1(q)(i) for Landlord. Either party
may, from time to time, by ten (10) days prior written notice given as provided
above, designate a different address to which notices to it shall be sent.


     24. Holding Over

     If Tenant remains in possession of the Demised Premises or any part thereof
after the expiration of the Lease Term, Tenant shall be only a tenant at will at
a rent equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Guaranteed Minimum Rent
in effect immediately prior to the expiration of the Lease Term for the first
sixty (60) days of Tenant's holdover and thereafter at two hundred percent
(200%), together with other charges set forth in this Lease, and there shall be
no renewal of this Lease or exercise of an option by operation of law.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Guaranteed
Minimum Rent set out hereunder shall not be increased by virtue of Tenant's
holding over for the first sixty (60) days beyond the expiration of the Lease
Term, provided that the parties hereto are proceeding in good faith to negotiate
a renewal lease. It is understood and agreed, however, that when such renewal
lease is executed by both parties, all of its terms and provisions shall be
retroactive to the day following the date of the expiration of this Lease.


     25. Subordination

     Landlord and Tenant agree that this Lease and the interest of the Tenant
herein be and the same hereby is made subject and subordinate at all times to a
certain Multi-Party Development and Operating Agreement entered into between
Landlord and various Major Stores adjoining the Shopping Center affecting the
Shopping Center of which the Demised Premises forms a part, which agreement or a
short form thereof has been recorded in the official records of Henrico County,
Virginia, and to any future amendments or modifications thereof and/or to any
additional development and operating agreements which may hereafter be entered
into between Landlord and the aforementioned Major Stores and/or any additional
or different department stores. Landlord and Tenant further agree that this
Lease be and the same hereby is made subject and subordinate at all times to all
covenants, restrictions, easements and encumbrances now or hereafter affecting
the fee and/or leasehold title of the Shopping Center property and the adjoining
properties and to all ground and underlying leases, and to any first mortgages
in any 

                                       29

<PAGE>

amounts, and all advances thereon which may now or hereafter be placed
against or affect any or all of the land and/or the Demised Premises and/or any
or all of the buildings and improvements now or at any time hereafter
constituting a part of the Shopping Center, and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations, participations, replacements and extensions thereof. The term
"mortgages" as used herein shall be deemed to include trust indentures and deeds
of trust. The aforesaid provisions shall be self operative and no further
instrument of subordination shall be necessary unless required by any such
ground or underlying landlords or first mortgagees. Should Landlord or any
ground or underlying landlords or first mortgagees desire confirmation of such
subordination, then Tenant within ten (10) days following Landlord's written
request therefor agrees to execute and deliver, without charge, any and all
documents (in form acceptable to Landlord and such ground or underlying
landlords or first mortgagees) subordinating this Lease, or a part thereof, and
the Tenant's rights hereunder. Should any such ground or underlying landlords or
any first mortgagees request that this Lease, or a part thereof, be made
superior, rather than subordinate, to any such ground or underlying lease and/or
first mortgage, then Tenant, within ten (10) days following Landlord's written
request therefor, agrees to execute and deliver, without charge, any and all
documents (in form acceptable to Landlord and such ground or underlying
landlords or first mortgagees) effectuating such priority.


     26. Transfer of Landlord's Interest

     In the event of the sale, assignment or transfer by Landlord of its
interest in the Shopping Center or in this Lease (other than a collateral
assignment to secure a debt of Landlord) to a successor in interest who
expressly assumes the obligations of Landlord under this Lease, Landlord shall
thereupon be released or discharged from all of its covenants and obligations
under this Lease, except such obligations as shall have accrued prior to any
such sale, assignment or transfer; and Tenant agrees to look solely to such
successor in interest of Landlord for performance of such obligations. Any
securities given by Tenant to Landlord to secure the performance of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease may be assigned by Landlord to such successor in
interest of Landlord; and, upon acknowledgement by such successor of receipt of
such security and its express assumption of the obligations to account to Tenant
for such security in accordance with the terms of this Lease, Landlord shall
thereby be discharged of any further obligation relating thereto. Landlord's
assignment of this Lease or of any or all of its rights herein shall in no
manner affect Tenant's obligations hereunder. Tenant shall thereafter attorn and
look to such assignee as Landlord, provided Tenant has first received written
notice of such assignment of Landlord's interest.


     27. Warranty

     Landlord warrants that it has full right and authority to lease the Demised
Premises upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease; and that Tenant
shall peacefully and quietly hold and enjoy the Demised Premises for the full
Lease Term so long as it does not default in the performance of any of its
covenants.

     Tenant hereby warrants that it has full right, power and authority to enter
into this Lease upon the terms and conditions herein set forth. If Tenant signs
as a corporation, each of the persons executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant
does hereby covenant and warrant that Tenant is a duly authorized and existing
corporation, qualified to do business in the State in which the Shopping Center
is located, that the corporation has full right and authority to enter into this
Lease, and that each and both of the persons signing on behalf of the
corporation were authorized to do so.


     28. Short Form Lease

     This Lease shall not be recorded, however, upon request by either Landlord
or Tenant, upon the commencement of the Lease Term, the parties hereto shall
execute a memorandum or short form lease agreement in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit G, specifying the commencement and termination dates of the Lease
Term and including any other provisions hereof (exclusive of provisions dealing
with monetary terms) as either party may desire to incorporate herein.


     29. Estoppel Certificate

     Within ten (10) days after request therefor by Landlord or any mortgagee or
trustee under a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Demised Premises, or if,
upon any sale, assignment or other transfer of the Demised Premises by Landlord,
an estoppel certificate shall be required from Tenant, Tenant shall deliver in
recordable form the estoppel certificate attached hereto as Exhibit H to any

                                       30

<PAGE>

proposed mortgagee or other transferee, or to Landlord, certifying those facts
contained therein that are then true with respect to this Lease and specifying
with particularity any of such facts which are not then true with respect to
this Lease.


     30. Mechanics' Liens

     Tenant covenants and agrees to do all things necessary to prevent the
filing of any mechanics' or other liens against Tenant's interest in this Lease
or in the Demised Premises by reason of work, labor, services or materials
supplied or claimed to have been supplied to Tenant, or anyone holding the
Demised Premises, or any part thereof, through or under Tenant. If any such lien
shall at any time be filed against Tenant's interest in the Demised Premises,
Tenant shall either cause the same to be discharged of record within twenty (20)
days after the date of filing of the same, or, if Tenant, in Tenant's sole
discretion and in good faith, determines that such lien should be contested,
shall furnish such security as may be necessary or required to prevent any
foreclosure proceedings against Tenant's interest in the Demised Premises during
the pendency of such contest. If Tenant shall fail to discharge such lien within
such period or fails to furnish such security, then, in addition to any other
right or remedy of Landlord resulting from Tenant's default, Landlord may, but
shall not be obligated to, discharge the lien either by paying the amount
claimed to be due or by procuring the discharge of such lien by giving security
or in such other manner as may be prescribed by law and Tenant shall, within ten
(10) days after written demand by Landlord, reimburse Landlord for all of its
costs and expenses arising in connection with such liens (including reasonable
attorneys' fees). Nothing contained in this Paragraph 30 shall imply any consent
or agreement on the part of Landlord to subject Landlord's estate to liability
under any mechanics' or other lien law.


     31. Force Majeure

     In the event Landlord or Tenant shall be delayed, hindered or prevented
from the performance of any act required hereunder, by reason of governmental
restrictions, scarcity of labor or materials, strikes, fire, or any other
reasons beyond its control, the performance of such act shall be excused for the
period of delay, and the period for the performance of any such act shall be
extended for the period necessary to complete performance after the end of the
period of such delay. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the provisions of
this Paragraph 31 shall not be applicable to Tenant's obligations to pay rent or
any other sums, monies, costs, charges or expenses required to be paid by Tenant
subsequent to the Rent Commencement Date.

     32. Limitation of Liability

     Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant
agrees that it shall look solely to the equity and property of the Landlord in
the land and buildings comprising the Shopping Center for the collection of any
judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of money by Landlord
for any default or breach by Landlord of any of its obligations under this
Lease, subject, however, to the prior rights of any ground or underlying
landlord or the holder of any mortgage covering the Shopping Center or of
Landlord's interest therein. No other assets of Landlord shall be subject to
levy, execution or other judicial process for the satisfaction of Tenant's
claim. This provision shall not be deemed, construed or interpreted to be or
constitute an agreement, express or implied, between Landlord and Tenant that
Landlord's interest hereunder and in the Shopping Center shall be subject to
impressment of an equitable lien or otherwise.


     33. Real Estate Brokers

     Tenant represents that Tenant has not dealt with any real estate broker,
salesperson or finder in connection with this Lease, other than Faison &
Associates, Inc. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and
against any and all liabilities and claims for commissions and fees arising out
of a breach of the foregoing representation.


     34. Accord and Satisfaction

     No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than any
installment or payment of rent or other charges due under this Lease shall be
deemed to be other than on account of the amount due, and no endorsement or
statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment of rent
or other charges shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may
accept such check 

                                       31

<PAGE>

or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such
installment or payment of rent or other charge or pursue any other remedies
available to Landlord. No receipt of money by Landlord from Tenant after the
termination of this Lease or Tenant's right of possession of the Demised
Premises shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term.


     35. Nature and Extent of Agreement

     This Lease contains the complete agreement of the parties regarding the
terms and conditions of the lease of the Demised Premises, and there are no oral
or written conditions, terms, understandings or other agreements pertaining
thereto which have not been incorporated herein. This Lease may not be modified,
changed or amended, in whole or in part other than by an agreement in writing
duly signed by both parties hereto. This instrument creates only the
relationship of landlord and tenant between the parties hereto as to the Demised
Premises; and nothing in this Lease shall in any way be construed to impose upon
either party hereto any obligations or restrictions not herein expressly set
forth. The laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia shall govern the validity,
interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Lease.

     36. Binding Effect

     This Lease shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.


     37. ERISA Representation

     Tenant hereby represents to Landlord that (a) Tenant is not an employee
benefit plan as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended, (b) the assets of Tenant do not constitute
plan assets of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section
2510.3-101 and (c) Tenant is not subject to state statutes regulating
investments of and fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans.


     38. Waiver of Jury Trial.

     Landlord, Tenant, all Guarantors and General Partners hereby waive trial by
jury in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by either of the parties
hereto against the other on or in respect of any matter whatsoever arising out
of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and
Tenant hereunder, Tenant's use or occupancy of the Demised Premises, and/or any
claim of injury or damage. Tenant consents to service of process and any
pleading relating to any such action at the Demised Premises; provided, however,
that nothing herein shall be construed as requiring such service at the Demised
Premises. Landlord, Tenant, all Guarantors and all General partners of Tenant
waive any objection to the venue of any action filed in any court situated in
the jurisdiction in which the Building is located and waive any right under the
doctrine of forum non conveniens or otherwise, to transfer any such action filed
in any such court to any other court.


     39. Attorney's Fees.

     If as a result of any breach or default in the performance of any of the
provisions of this Lease, Landlord uses the services of an attorney in order to
secure compliance with such provisions or recover damages therefor, or to
terminate this Lease or evict Tenant, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon
demand for any and all attorneys' fees and expenses so incurred by Landlord,
provided that if Tenant shall be the prevailing party in any legal action
brought by Landlord against Tenant, upon rendering of a final non-appealable
judgment, Tenant shall be entitled to recover for the fees of its attorneys in
such amount as the court may adjudge reasonable.


     40. Captions.

     Paragraph, article and section headings are used for convenience and shall
not be considered when construing this Lease.

                                       32


<PAGE>

     41. Examination of Lease.

     Submission of this Lease for examination or signature by Tenant shall not
constitute reservation of or option for lease, and the same shall not be
effective as a lease or otherwise until execution and delivery by both Landlord
and Tenant.


     42. Survival.

     Tenant's liabilities existing as of the expiration or earlier termination
of the Lease Term shall survive such expiration or earlier termination.


     43. Relocation and Redevelopment of Shopping Center

          (a) It is expressly understood and agreed between Landlord and Tenant
     herein that in the event of any redevelopment of the Shopping Center which
     would increase the size of the interior Common Areas of the existing
     Shopping Center, would add additional improvements so that the Floor Area
     of the Shopping Center is increased, would change or relocate the Food Park
     Area, or would add a Major Store, Landlord shall have the right, at its
     sole option, to require Tenant to relocate to another space in the Food
     Park Area (or a new Food Park Area) in the Shopping Center. Landlord may
     only relocate Tenant one (1) time during the Lease Term. Landlord shall
     serve upon Tenant a written notice of relocation specifying the date on
     which such relocation is to take place, such date to be at least sixty (60)
     days from the date on which the notice of relocation is mailed or delivered
     to Tenant. Tenant shall then have the right to relocate to a mutually
     agreeable space suitable for the operation of Tenant's business. If, in the
     reasonable opinion of the Tenant, a suitable location does not become
     available within such sixty (60) day period, Tenant shall have the right at
     its sole option, to cancel this Lease and all of the terms, covenants,
     conditions and agreements herein contained shall become null and void and
     of no further force and effect as of the date on which Tenant would have
     been required to relocate, as set forth in Landlord's written notice.

          (b) If in Tenant's reasonable opinion a suitable location is available
     and Tenant relocates to such agreed upon location, all rent and other
     charges under this Lease will abate during the period, if any, that Tenant
     has permanently closed the Demised Premises for business until the earlier
     to occur of: (i) the date on which Tenant actually opens its new premises
     for business; or (ii) the date ninety (90) days following the date on which
     Landlord delivers the new premises to Tenant. Anything herein to the
     contrary notwithstanding, there shall be no abatement in rent or any other
     charges hereunder unless relocation of Tenant is made at Landlord's
     request.

          (c) In the event of relocation, Landlord will reimburse Tenant for the
     unamortized cost of Tenant improvements less any allowance given by
     Landlord. Tenant shall provide Landlord receipts and cancelled checks for
     all sums expended by Tenant for Tenant improvements so that Landlord may
     determine such costs. Landlord shall not be obligated to pay Tenant for any
     costs not so evidenced. The unamortized cost shall be computed by using
     straight line depreciation with the life of improvements being the primary
     term of the Lease.

          (d) Tenant shall allow Landlord or Landlord's agents access to the
     Demised Premises for construction of such structural portions as may be
     required to reinforce or install columns or other building components as
     may be necessary for future mall development and/or enclosure. However,
     Landlord shall, following such construction and at Landlord's expense,
     return the Demised Premises, as nearly as possible, to the condition
     existing prior to said construction.


     44. Food Park Tenant

     In the event Tenant engages in the preparation of food or baked goods,
Tenant agrees, at Tenant's own cost and expense: (i) to install dry chemical
extinguishing devices (such as Ansul) approved by the local fire insurance
rating organization and Landlord's insurance carriers, and to keep such devices
in good working order and repair and regularly serviced under a maintenance
agreement as may be required by Landlord or by such fire insurance rating
organization or carriers; (ii) to keep and maintain all exhaust ducts and
filters in a clean condition; (iii) to place and store Tenant's garbage and
refuse in containers which shall be kept, in a self-contained refrigerated area
within the Demised Premises set aside for the storage of garbage and refuse;
(iv) to install within or outside the Demised Premises, as may be required by
governing codes, a grease trap and all lines leading thereto of a pattern and
make approved in writing 

                                       33

<PAGE>

by Landlord, and to keep and maintain the same in a clean and sanitary
condition and in good working order and repair and at no less than three (3)
month intervals cause such trap to be cleaned and lines to be routed; and (v) to
install within Tenant's exhaust system for the kitchen or any other food
preparation or cooking area, a deodorizing system acceptable to Landlord of a
type similar or equal to Roto Clone as manufactured by American Air Filter (the
purpose of which is to eliminate odors emanating from the Demised Premises) and
to keep and maintain the same in a clean and sanitary condition and in good
working order and repair. In the event Tenant engages in the use, sale or
storing of inflammable or combustible materials, Tenant agrees to install and
maintain similar chemical extinguishing devices referred to in subparagraph (i)
hereof. In the event gas is used in the Demised Premises, Tenant agrees to
install a proper gas cut-off valve. If Tenant shall fail to install any such
devices referred to in this Paragraph 44 and/or to subscribe to the servicing
thereof, Landlord shall have the right to enter upon the Demised Premises to
make such necessary installations and charge the cost of such installations
and/or the servicing thereof to Tenant, as additional rent hereunder. In
addition, Tenant agrees to abide by the provisions of the Food Park Addendum

                               FOOD PARK ADDENDUM


  Anything contained in this Lease, as the same may have been heretofore
modified or amended (the "Printed Lease"), notwithstanding, to and of which this
Addendum is attached and made a part, the terms, conditions and provisions of
this Addendum shall be paramount and controlling. The Printed Lease, together
with this Addendum, may be sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Lease". All terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the
Printed Lease.

1. THE FOOD PARK.

          (a) The provisions of this Addendum are generally applicable to each
     and every tenant leasing space in the Shopping Center in the area
     designated by Landlord for small restaurant operations, carry-out only,
     which area is inclusive of individual premises demised to other tenants,
     the Food Park Seating Area (as hereinafter defined) and other Common Areas
     lying therein (collectively the "Food Park Area"). The "Gross Leasable Area
     of the Food Park Area" shall be deemed to mean the actual number of
     leasable square feet of the Floor Area in the Food Park Area (as initially
     constructed or as the same may at any time thereafter be enlarged or
     reduced) which is exclusively appropriated for Food Park Area tenants,
     whether leased or vacant, and specifically excluding building roofs, the
     Food Park Seating Area and other Common Areas. All measurements are to be
     made as provided in the Printed Lease.

          (b) Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that all rents and
     charges required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Addendum are in
     addition to, and not in lieu or reduction of, Tenant's obligations set
     forth in the Printed Lease, including without limitation, Guaranteed
     Minimum Rent, Percentage Rent, additional rent and all other charges.

2.  FOOD PARK SEATING AREA.

  So long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Tenant and Tenant's
invitees, customers and patrons shall have a revocable license to use, in common
with others, the Food Park Seating Area. The "Food Park Seating Area" means the
common seating area within the Food Park Area which from time to time may be
made available by Landlord for use, in common with others, by Landlord, Food
Park Area tenants and their invitees, customers and patrons. Landlord in its
sole and absolute discretion shall furnish and install equipment, floor
covering, lighting fixtures, decorative and permanent fixtures, ceiling, tables,
chairs, accessories and other property in the Food Park Seating Area. Landlord
shall be the sole owner of all of the foregoing described items, and Tenant
shall have no right, title or interest in and to any such item, excepting only
in respect to the limited use right granted pursuant to the revocable license
hereinabove provided.

3.  EXCLUSIVE CONTROL OF LANDLORD.

  The Common Areas of the Food Park Area shall be subject to the exclusive
management and control of Landlord {but Landlord shall have the right to cause
any or all management or other services, including without limitation, those set
forth in Addendum Paragraph 7(a) to be provided by an independent contractor or
contractors}. As between Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall at all times have
the exclusive right and authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, to
determine the nature and extent of the Food Park Area, and to make such changes,
rearrangements, additions, and/or reductions therein and thereto at any time and
from time to time which it may deem desirable or which may result from any
federal, state or local environmental or other law, rule, regulation, guideline,
judgment or order. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in respect
to the Food Park Area, Landlord shall additionally have each and every right
reserved unto it in the Printed Lease respecting the Shopping Center and the
Common Areas.

4.  USE.

  Tenant shall use the Demised Premises solely for the preparation, sale at
retail and delivery of food and beverages to the public for "carry-out" or for
consumption in the Food Park Area, all in strict accordance with Paragraphs 1(i)
and 6(a) of the Printed Lease. Lessee may be permitted to open for business
earlier than otherwise set forth in the Printed Lease and to serve "breakfast",
upon Landlord's prior written consent which consent may be granted or withheld
by Landlord in its sole discretion and in accordance with the requirements
thereof. Tenant agrees to sell only those food and beverage items specifically
enumerated in said Paragraph 1(i) (such food and beverage items hereinafter
sometimes referred to as the "Menu") and to maintain the highest standards in
quality and preparation of such items. Tenant agrees 

                                       36

<PAGE>

to offer for sale each of the enumerated items on the Menu and any failure to
sell any such item or any substitution for or addition to such item without
Landlord's prior written approval shall be deemed a default under the Printed
Lease, and in addition to (and not in replacement of) any other rights or
remedies pursuant to this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to charge Tenant,
as additional rent, the sum of One Hundred and no/100 Dollars ($100.00) per day
for each and every day or part thereof the default persists. The rights and
remedies reserved in this Paragraph 4 are distinct, separate and cumulative and
the exercise of same shall not be deemed to preclude, waive or prejudice
Landlord's right to exercise any or all others provided in this Lease.

5.  DISPOSABLE PAPER PRODUCTS.

  In connection with the sale of food and beverages from the Demised Premises,
Tenant agrees to use at its sole cost and expense, only disposable paper goods
and utensils, including, but not limited to, cups, wrap materials, plates,
trays, boats, straws, bags, napkins, spoons, forks, knives, stir sticks and the
like. Landlord shall have the continuing right (but not the obligation) to
develop a uniform design for all such disposable paper products used in the
operation of the Food Park Area, and Tenant agrees to use only disposable paper
products utilizing such design in the manner required by Landlord, and otherwise
of the type, size, material and color approved by Landlord; provided however
that in the event Tenant is a franchisee and shall be required by the terms of
its franchise agreement to utilize a particular design of or type of disposable
paper products, or in the event Tenant is a corporate chain of stores (a chain
being 20 or more stores) Tenant shall be permitted to utilize such design or
type (except in respect to the food trays upon which food and beverages are
served to the public, which must adhere and conform to Landlord's uniform design
standards) with Landlord's prior written approval so long as such products
otherwise conform to the type, size, material and color approved by Landlord.
Although Tenant shall be required to use only paper products so approved by
Landlord, Tenant shall not be required to purchase such products from Landlord.
Tenant shall not be permitted to place signs, trash bins or other receptacles
for refuse on or about Tenant's food counter. In the event Tenant shall violate
the provisions of this Paragraph 5, such violation shall constitute a default
under the Printed Lease, and, in addition to any other rights or remedies
pursuant to this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to charge Tenant, as
additional rent, the sum of One Hundred and no/100 Dollars ($100.00) per day for
each and every day or part thereof such violation exists. The rights and
remedies reserved in this Paragraph 5 are distinct, separate and cumulative and
the exercise of same shall not be deemed to preclude, waive or prejudice
Landlord's right to exercise any or all others provided in this Lease.

6.  EMPLOYEE DRESS AND CONDUCT.

  Tenant's employees shall at all times be required to present a clean and
well-groomed appearance. Tenant's employees shall be required at all times while
on duty in the Demised Premises to wear uniforms, the color and style of which
are to be subject to Landlord's approval. Landlord hereby approves Tenant's
standard uniforms and trade dress. Tenant may make such arrangement with its own
employees as it deems appropriate regarding the purchase and maintenance of
standard uniforms. In the event Tenant or any of its employees shall not be
properly attired as required hereunder, in addition to any other rights and
remedies in favor of Landlord provided in this Lease, Landlord may direct Tenant
to require any such employee not so attired to immediately conform to the
requirements of this Paragraph or leave the Demised Premises.

7.  FOOD PARK AREA MAINTENANCE COSTS.

          (a) Landlord shall clean, police, repair and maintain the Food Park
     Seating Area during business hours and otherwise in a manner and at such
     frequency deemed by Landlord to be reasonably appropriate and in the best
     interest of the Shopping Center. All Food Park Operating Costs (as
     hereinafter defined) incurred by or on behalf of Landlord for services in
     excess of the level of services provided and paid for as part of the Common
     Area Maintenance charge set forth in Paragraph 9(b) of the Printed Lease
     shall be charged to Food Park Area tenants in the manner hereinafter set
     forth. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Food Park Area Charge (as
     hereinafter defined) in consideration of the enhanced or additional Common
     Area Maintenance services attributable or otherwise related to the Food
     Park Area. Specifically, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, as additional rent
     in the manner provided below in Addendum Paragraph 7(b), the Food Park Area
     Charge (as hereinafter defined) which is Tenant's share of the Food Park
     Operating Costs (as hereinafter defined). "Food Park Operating Costs" shall
     mean all direct and indirect total costs and expenses paid or incurred in
     operating, maintaining and repairing the Food Park Area and the Common
     Areas located therein, including without limitation, the costs of all
     materials, supplies and services purchased or hired therefor, and further,
     specifically including without limitation (i) maintenance, repair and
     replacement of all machinery, equipment, facilities and personal property;
     (ii) maintenance, repair and replacement of the heating, ventilating and
     air conditioning system, emergency water and sprinkler main system,
     electrical equipment and other 

                                       37

<PAGE>

     items; (iii) maintenance, epair and replacement of utility systems,
     including water, sanitary sewer and storm water lines and other utility
     lines, pipes and conduits; (iv) the cost and expense of lighting,
     extermination, sanitary control and removal of trash, garbage and other
     refuse (including the removal of litter within the Common Areas of the
     Shopping Center within fifteen (15) feet beyond the Food Park Area {the
     "Food Park Extended Area"}; (v) premiums for insurance to the extent
     provided by Landlord solely in respect to the Food Park Area; (vi) all
     personal property taxes and other charges incurred in connection with Food
     Park Area machinery, equipment and facilities; (vii) maintenance, repair
     and replacement of the grease traps and grease trap lines; (viii) salaries
     and wages of all personnel, including without limitation, supervisory
     personnel engaged in the cleaning, policing, repairing, maintaining, and
     securing of the Food Park Area (and the Food Park Extended Area); (ix) all
     costs and expenses enumerated in Paragraph 9(b) of the Printed Lease; and
     (x) administrative costs equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the total Food
     Park Operating Costs (excepting such administrative costs). Tenant's Food
     Park Area Charge shall not include the items excluded therefrom as set out
     in Paragraph 9(b). Tenant's Food Park Area Charge is in addition to, and
     not in lieu or reduction of, Common Area maintenance charge and all other
     rents and charges provided in this Lease.

          (b) Tenant's Food Park Area Charge shall be in an amount equal to the
     product obtained by multiplying the total Food Park Operating Costs paid or
     incurred during each calendar year during the Lease Term by a fraction, the
     numerator of which shall be the Floor Area of the Demised Premises and the
     denominator of which shall be the Gross Leasable Area of the Food Park
     Area. Tenant's Food Park Area Charge shall be estimated, due and payable in
     the manner provided in the Printed Lease for Lessee's Common Area
     maintenance charges. Any partial calendar year shall be proportionately
     adjusted. Landlord estimates that Tenant's prorata share of Food Park Area
     Charge for 1997 shall be $30.25 per square foot of Floor Area of the
     Demised Premises per annum.



8.  UTILITIES AND SERVICES.

  Landlord has elected initially to furnish, at Tenant's sole cost and expense,
the electrical energy and chilled air to be used or consumed in the Demised
Premises, and Tenant agrees to purchase and pay Landlord, as additional rent,
for the equipment and service thereof, in accordance with Exhibit "F-1" to the
Printed Lease, at the rates which the applicable public or private utility
company would have charged Tenant for furnishing such utilities, plus applicable
taxes thereon. Landlord reserves the right to discontinue the furnishings of
both or either electrical energy and/or chilled air, and if Landlord shall so
elect to discontinue same, the terms and provisions of said Exhibit "F-1"
pertaining to the payment for such service shall not be applicable from and
after the date of such discontinuance, and in such case, Tenant shall contract
directly with the public or private utility company for the purchase of same as
required under said Exhibit "F-1". Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the
provision by Landlord of any utilities as herein provided is not for the purpose
of reselling or re-metering for profit. Except as hereinabove provided, the
provisions of Paragraph 10 of the printed Lease are incorporated herein by this
reference.

                  EXHIBIT F - ENERGY SERVICE AND ENERGY CHARGES

                               REGENCY SQUARE MALL


   1.0    Landlord will deliver to the Demised Premises, electric energy for
          lighting, miscellaneous power, heating and air conditioning of the
          same, from the central electric energy distribution system of the
          Shopping Center in accordance with the following:

   1.1    Electric energy shall be available at any time between 8 a.m. and 10
          p.m. on the days when the center is designated open by Landlord in the
          capacities adequate to satisfy the full electric load of the Demised
          Premises. Characteristics of the electric energy service are 3 phase,
          4 wire, 60 cycle, 277/480 volt.

   1.2    In addition during all other hours of the year, electric energy will
          be available for off hour lighting use by the Tenant. Said off hour
          load may not exceed 5% of the total connected load of the lighting
          devices.

   1.3    In addition, during all other hours of the year, electric energy will
          be available for maintaining an in-space temperature of 35 degrees F,
          whenever outdoor temperature is 35 degrees F or less.

   2.0    Tenant shall submit its mechanical and electric plans for the
          Landlord's approval. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be
          construed to obligate the Landlord to approve Tenant plans or systems
          with a total connected load in excess of six (6) watts per square foot
          of Floor Area, exclusive of the connected load of heating and air
          conditioning equipment.

   2.1    Without the written consent of the Landlord in advance, Tenant shall
          not increase its heating or cooling load or electric usage capacity
          beyond that initially installed in the Demised Premises in accordance
          with the approved plans thereof, nor shall it use heating and air
          conditioning for any purpose other than comfort conditioning of its
          space, nor shall it use electric energy for any other purpose than
          lighting and power demands indicated on its approved drawings.

   2.2    Without the prior written consent of the Landlord, or unless expressly
          otherwise required by the Lease, Tenant shall not use electric energy
          during times other than the hours 8 a.m. through 10 p.m. on the days
          when the Landlord has designated the center as open, except that off
          hour lighting and freeze protection heating described hereinbefore,
          and electrical energy used for Tenant's refrigeration equipment and
          cash registers, shall not be considered a violation of this clause.

   2.3    Tenant shall install an electric heating and air conditioning system
          in conformance with the description contained in 4.0 hereinbelow.

   3.0    Landlord's Inspections:

   3.1    Landlord shall have the right to inspect the Demised Premises to test
          Tenant's systems and to install and operate suitable devices for the
          purposes of determining Tenant's connected load, demand and
          consumption of electric energy and space temperature. Frequency of
          such inspections is at the Landlord's option and it should conduct
          same in a manner to keep disturbance of Tenant's operation at a
          minimum.

   3.2    If such an inspection indicates that Tenant's connected load, energy
          usage or operation deviates from or exceeds the conditions set forth
          in this Lease, Landlord may require (in addition to any other right it
          may have) Tenant to pay the cost of said inspection and that the
          Tenant provide, at its own cost, all remedial action required to
          conform its installation or operation to this Lease.

   4.0    Tenant's Systems:

   4.6.5  The electric heating coils shall have multiple circuits and shall be
          operated by multi-step controllers equipped with time delays between
          the steps. These time delays will prevent the entire coil from
          becoming energized simultaneously by a call for heat from the
          temperature control system and will be adequate in span to allow the
          space temperature sensing devices to respond to the added heating
          energy. When the total capacity of the heating coils of an air
          handling unit is 15 KW or less, a minimum of three equal circuits
          shall be provided; when this capacity is more than 15 KW but less than
          60 KW, a minimum of 5 equal circuits shall be provided; for capacities

          maintained shall not be less than 75 degrees F. Whenever electric
          heating is used the indoor temperature maintained shall not be more
          than 70 degrees F.

   4.7.1  Temperature maintained lower than these values in the summer or higher
          in the winter shall be considered a violation of the Lease and
          Landlord shall have the right (in addition to whatever other rights he
          may have) to estimate the energy consumed by such excesses, and to
          adjust the energy service charges to include additional monies for
          such excesses, including adjustment for the past 12 months.

   4.7.2  Tenant's air conditioning equipment shall include a part load
          operation capacity control for its refrigeration compressors. This may
          be in the form of multiple compressors or unloading devices, except
          for units less than 6 tons of total capacity as to which this
          requirement is waived. Air conditioning units with a total capacity
          over 6 tons but not exceeding 20 tons shall have at least 2 capacity
          reduction steps, that is 100%, 50%, off. Units over 20 ton capacity
          shall have at least 3 steps of capacity control, that is 100%, 66%,
          33% and off.

   4.7.3  More refined capacity controls or smaller incremental steps as
          described hereinbefore are acceptable for both the refrigeration
          compressors and the electric heating coils.

   4.8    All outdoor air dampers shall be first grade quality, provided with
          air tight seals on all damper edges and on all four sides. They must
          be leak free in their closed position.

   4.9    All ductwork carrying heated or cooled air, except exhaust ductwork,
          shall be proved with not less than 1", thermal insulation when running
          in non-air conditioned spaces or in hung ceilings that are not acting
          as active air return plenums. Any such ductwork running outdoors shall
          be provided with not less than 2" thick thermal insulation.

   4.10   Tenant's air conditioning system shall be designed to prevent escape
          of air into public areas or other stores, and of odors or contaminants
          into the public areas or other stores and shall transmit no noise or
          vibration into public areas or other stores.

   4.11   Tenant agrees to operate its systems so that the amount of electrical
          energy consumed for its use is to be economically moderated by
          avoiding any unnecessary or wasteful consumption of electricity.

   5.0    Electrical Consumption Charge:

   5.1    Tenant agrees to pay Landlord for the energy service supplied, under
          the conditions described herein, as additional rent, the Electrical
          Consumption Charge, payable in 12 equal monthly installments on the
          first day of each month during the Lease Term. The payment provided
          for herein shall be adjusted for each calendar year, at the end of the
          preceding calendar year by adding thereto a sum computed at the rate
          of 1% (or fraction thereof) for each increase of 1%, (or corresponding
          fraction thereof) of the overall average cost of electric energy paid
          by the Landlord. At the same time, the same increase shall be
          collected by the Landlord for the preceding calendar year.


<PAGE>



   5.2    Landlord's average unit cost of electricity shall be arrived at by
          calculating the sum of its electric bills for the preceding 12 months,
          divided by the sum of electric energy usage, stated on said bills, in
          kwh.

   5.3    The Electrical Consumption Charge will be based on the Tenant's
          connected electric load as evaluated by the Landlord's engineer.
          Tenant shall furnish his final mechanical and electrical drawings to
          the Landlord for that purpose and shall cooperate with the Landlord's
          engineer, furnishing all information required for an exact
          determination of the connected load of each electric energy using
          device as well as for the evaluation of full conformance with the
          provisions of this lease.

   5.4    For the purposes of connected load computation each electric energy
          consuming device will be counted as follows:

          or show-case installed) at 180 VA per receptacle for 120V, 15A or 20A
          receptacles; 2000 VA for 208V, 15A or 20A receptacles.

   5.5    The total connected load will be the sum total of the individual
          electric energy consuming devices connected load as described above,
          without any deduction for alleged or actual diversities or partial
          operations; with the following two exceptions:

   5.5.1  Air conditioning equipment and heating equipment is excluded in full
          as their usage will be reflected in the Electrical Consumption Charge
          values as a function of the connected load;

   5.5.2  Whenever two electrical energy consuming devices are prevented from
          operating simultaneously by an automatic electric interlock without
          any manual override device, only the larger of the two will be
          included for the connected load summation.

   5.6    The Floor Area of the Demised Premises shall be as stated in Paragraph
          1(a) of the Lease.

          This component, subject to change by Landlord, is Two Hundred Ten and
          no/100 Dollars ($210.00) per year for each Ton of "nominal" capacity
          of this "assumed" Equipment.

   5.5    The "Environmental Service Charge" (Electrical Consumption Charge)
          shall be the sum of the estimate described in Section 5.4.1 plus the
          component described in Section 5.4.2.

   5.6    In no event shall payment of the "Environmental Service Charge"
          (Electrical Consumption Charge) abate, nor shall Lessee have any right
          of offset or counterclaim against the payment of such a charge.

   5.7    When developing the Environmental Service Charge, the following
          minimum values and factors shall be applied:

   5.7.1  All "off-hour" electric energy consuming devices (as described in
          Sections 4.1.1 through 4.1.5) will be considered operative twenty-four
          (24) hours per day, year-round;

   5.7.2  Any electric energy consuming device not provided with time-clock or
          not connected to Lessor's central control system shall be considered

          handling equipment;

   5.7.3  Outdoor air intake rate shall be calculated at rate not less than 0.18
          CFM per square foot unless more is indicated on Tenant's drawings;

   5.7.4  Energy consumption of the "assumed" self-contained air conditioning
          unit compressor(s) and condenser fan combined is 1,400 watts for each
          12,000 BTUs (ton of refrigeration) produced, and the sensible heat
          factor of this "assumed" units cooling coil is seventy-nine percent
          (79%);

   5.7.5  Demand and electric energy consumption of the evaporator fan of the
          "assumed" self-contained air conditioning unit is 500 watts/square
          feet of conditioned area; this fan is assumed to be operative,
          whenever the store is open;

   5.7.6  For purposes of establishing the "nominal" capacity of the "assumed"
          self-contained A.C. unit, the nearest unit with higher capacity than
          the peak cooling load of the premises (as calculated by Landlord's
          engineers) will be selected from the following list of "nominal
          capacity" (expressed in tons of refrigeration effect):

          2.0, 3.0, 5.0, 8.0, 10.0, 15.0, 20.0, 25.0, 30.0

          representing preparation and cleaning functions of Tenant's personnel.

   6.0    Discontinuation of Service:

   6.1    In case Landlord finds, in its sole judgment, that it is not feasible
          to furnish or continue to furnish electricity, or conditioned air, or
          in case it shall become unlawful for Landlord to furnish electricity
          or conditioned air, Landlord may discontinue providing either one or
          all of these services, in the entire Shopping Center or in any part
          thereof.

   6.2    In the event of discontinuation in the conditioned air services,
          Tenant shall be responsible for purchasing and installing heating and
          air-conditioning equipment at Tenant's own cost and expense, as
          required to provide air conditioning and heating to the Demised
          Premises.

   6.3    In the event of discontinuation in the electric energy services,
          Tenant shall be responsible for purchasing its electricity directly
          from the utility company; and Tenant shall at Tenant's sole cost and
          expense cause the Demised Premises to be separately metered and
          billed.

   6.4    Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for
          disruption or diminution of the electric or of the conditioned air
          services, nor for any shortages or curtailments in the use of these
          services and in no event shall any such disruption or shortage or
          curtailments entitle Tenant to any abatement of the rents or other
          charges due under this lease, nor shall it constitute an eviction,
          actual or constructive.

                       REGENCY SQUARE, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA
                      HEATING/COOLING SERVICES, FOOD COURT

   1.0     Conditioned Air: Landlord will provide for the Demised Premises
           conditioned air for air-conditioning and heating; on the days and
           between the hours of each day, when the Shopping Center is designated
           open by Landlord, in capacities adequate to satisfy the actual air
           conditioning load of the Demised Premises, as determined by Landlord.

   2.0     Tenant systems:

   2.1     Tenant's air handling and distribution system shall be sized to
           offset the in-space and transmission/radiation heat gains of the
           Demised Premises at the design conditions listed and space
           temperatures indicated herein. These design conditions and
           temperatures shall be used in the computations establishing the
           "Environmental Service Charge" (Electrical Consumption Charge) rate,
           as described in Exhibit F".

           Indoor temperatures maintained by Tenant lower than those indicated,
           when cooling, or higher, when heating, shall be deemed a violation of
           this Lease. In case of such violation, Landlord shall have the right,
           in addition to any other rights it may have, to estimate the energy
           consumed by such excess or excesses, and to adjust the "Environmental
           Service Charge" (Electrical Consumption Charge) to include additional
           monies for such excess(es), including also adjustment for the past
           twelve (12) months.

   2.1.1   "Peak" design conditions, air conditioning:

           Indoor dry-bulb temperature                  76 deg. F.

           Outdoor wet-bulb temperature                 76 deg. F.

           (At Tenant's counter only, and subject to each Tenant's individual
           use and configuration of the Demised Premises) 2.1.2 "Peak" design
           conditions, heating:

           Indoor dry-bulb temperature                  70 deg. F.
           Outdoor dry-bulb temperature                 17 deg. F.

           the following criteria:

   2.2.1   Cooling media conditions:

   2.2.1.1 The conditioned air is delivered by Landlord's system with a supply
           temperature not more than 54 deg. F. DB and 53.5 deg. F. WB and with
           a pressure of 0.18 (eighteen-hundredth) of one inch W.G. on the
           downstream side of Landlord's V.V. Box, all at times of "peak" design
           cooling outdoor conditions;

   2.2.1.2 During all other times, these temperatures and pressure differential
           may be reset, at Landlord's option, in accordance with energy
           conservation principles.

   2.2.2   Landlord's Work for the conditioned air service terminates with a
           Variable Volume Air Terminal Box (V.V. Box), located near or in the
           Demised Premises; thermostatic control of V.V. Box will be also
           provided by Landlord.

           All air conditioning, ventilating and heating work and installation,
           required for the beneficial use of the Demised Premises, beyond this
           junction point shall be provided by Tenant, including all piping
           connections to Landlord's distribution network;

   2.2.3   Tenant shall install, located in the Demised Premises, an air
           distribution system and electric heating devices selected by it to
           satisfy the heating and air conditioning requirements of the Demised
           Premises, with the heating/cooling media conditions and
           indoor/outdoor temperatures stated hereinbefore;

   2.2.4   Tenant's air systems shall be designed to prevent escape of any odors
           or contaminants into public areas or other stores; they shall not
           transmit noise or vibration into the public areas or to other
           premises.

   2.2.4.1 When the Tenant's operations are odor-producing (such as, but not
           limited to food-service- establishments), a combination (dual-fan)
           make-up and exhaust system shall be included, containing the
           odor-producing part of the Demised Premises under negative pressure
           conditions with twenty-five percent (25%) excess exhaust capacity
           over the outdoor air supply rate and in full compliance with all
           applicable codes. A certified "air balance" report shall be submitted
           to Lessor prior to commencement of Lessee's operations;

   2.2.4.2 Mechanical (Motor-driven) exhaust systems shall be provided for all
           toilets, capacities as directed by applicable codes; and

   2.2.4.3 Routing of any ductwork outside of the Demised Premises shall be as
           directed by Landlord; any such ductwork penetrating fire-protective
           barriers shall be equipped with fusible-link dampers as prescribed by
           the applicable code(s).

           thermal insulation including vapor barrier; except that any such
           ductwork run in air-conditioned spaces or hung ceilings that function
           as air return plenums need not be insulated under the provisions of
           this Lease. Outdoor air intake ducts and any ductwork carrying
           air-conditioned air outdoors shall have 2.0 in. insulation, with
           vapor barrier.

   2.3     Tenant systems shall be automatically and thermostatically controlled
           to permit heating by electric energy only, when:

   2.3.1   The V.V. Box is in the "minimum" flow rate positions; and

   2.3.2   The Shopping Center is "open" (as determined by Landlord).

   2.4     Landlord may elect to connect Tenant's controls to a central, remote
           energy management system in order to perform specific functions in
           which case, Tenant shall incorporate into its systems (24 Volt)
           relays, of the type designated by Landlord.
