corporation, (hereinafter referred to as the "Tenant").
W I T N E S S E T H:
In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter
set forth, Landlord and Tenant covenant and agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
DEMISE OF PREMISES; QUIET ENJOYMENT
SECTION 1.01. DEMISE OF PREMISES. Subject to the terms,
conditions, covenants, and undertakings hereinafter set forth, Landlord does
hereby lease to Tenant those certain Premises described as follows (including
the existing Building thereon):
An approximately 14,850 square foot free-standing building located on
that certain parcel of land containing approximately 68,000 square
feet located on the northwest corner of St. Francis Drive and Cordova
Road in the City of Santa Fe, New Mexico, more particularly described
on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
The parties acknowledge that 14,850 square feet is an approximation of
the area of the existing building and that Landlord does not guarantee
the area thereof.
SECTION 1.02. DEFINITIONS AND USE OF TERMS.
When used in this Lease:
(a) "Land" means the real property described in section
1.01 above.
(b) "Building" means any and all buildings, structures
and other improvements located on said Land.
(c) "Premises" means collectively the Land and Building
leased herein.
SECTION 1.03. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord covenants and agrees that,
upon Tenant's paying rent and performing all of the covenants and conditions
set forth in the Lease, Tenant's quiet and peaceable enjoyment of the Premises
shall not be disturbed by Landlord or any person claiming by, through or under

herein and to all reservations and restrictions of record in the Real Property
Records of the county where the Land is located and all zoning and land-use
regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Land.
<PAGE> 5
ARTICLE II
USE; TERM; RENEWAL OPTION AND HOLDING OVER
SECTION 2.01. USE. Tenant shall use the Premises for the retail
sale and distribution of food, liquor and general merchandise. Tenant shall
keep the Premises reasonably stocked with merchandise, and reasonably staffed
to serve the patrons thereof, comparable to stores doing a similar business.
Tenant is not required to operate its business on Sundays or legal holidays,
nor during any time when such operations must be suspended because of casualty
loss to the Building, strikes, insurrection, or other similar cause.
SECTION 2.02. TERM. The term of this Lease shall be ten and
one-half (10 1/2) years, commencing on the "Commencement Date," as defined in
Section 4.04 hereof. In the event that the Commencement Date is any date other
than the first day of the month, then the term hereof shall extend for ten and
one-half years plus the number of days remaining in the month in which the term
hereof commences.
SECTION 2.03. RENEWAL OPTION. Provided that Tenant is not in
default in respect to any provision of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right
to extend the term of this Lease for one (1) additional period of ten (10)
years from the expiration of the prior term, provided, however, that written
notice is given to Landlord of such intention to extend the Lease six (6)
months prior to the applicable expiration date. Such extension term shall be
upon the same terms, conditions, and rentals except that (i) Tenant shall have
no further right of renewal after exercise of said extension term and (ii) the
Minimum Rent will be equal to whatever Minimum Rent (plus CPI adjustments) is
then applicable under this Lease. It is further understood and agreed by the
parties that Landlord may attempt to acquire additional land adjacent to the
Premises, for the purpose of constructing thereon a shopping center and/or
other commercial buildings. If Landlord has acquired such additional land
adjacent to the Premises at the time that Tenant exercises its option
hereunder, then Landlord shall have the right to require that Tenant rent, on
the same terms, conditions, and rentals contained in this Lease, as adjusted
above, comparable space in the adjacent property in lieu of the Premises.
Provided, however, that Tenant shall have no obligation to accept such
comparable space unless such substitution will have no adverse economic
consequences to Tenant.
SECTION 2.04. HOLDING OVER. Should Tenant hold over after the
termination of this Lease, by lapse of time or otherwise, Tenant shall become a
tenant from month-to-month only upon each and all of the terms herein provided
as may be applicable to such month-to-month tenancy and any such holding over
shall not constitute an extension of this Lease; provided, however, during such
holding over, Tenant shall pay Minimum Rent and Percentage Rent at double the
rate payable per Article III below for the month immediately preceding said
holding over and in addition, Tenant shall pay Landlord all damages,
consequential as well as direct, sustained by reason of Tenant's holding over.
The provisions of this paragraph do not exclude the Landlord's rights of
reentry or any other right contained in this Lease.

ARTICLE III
RENT; SECURITY DEPOSIT
SECTION 3.01. MINIMUM RENT. During the term hereof, Tenant shall
pay Landlord minimum rent (hereinafter referred to as "Minimum Rent") on or
before the first day of each month during the term hereof as follows:
(a) From the Commencement Date through and including the
18th month (the first "Lease Year") ($111,375 per annum, $9.281.25 per month).
(b) 19th through 30th month (the second "Lease Year")
($118,800 per annum, $9,900 per month).
(c) 31st through 42nd month (3rd "Lease Year") ($126,225
per annum, $10,518.75 per month)
(d) 43rd through 66th month (4th and 5th "Lease Years")
($133,650 per annum, $ll,137.50 per month).
(e) 67th through 126th month (6th "Lease Year" through
10th "Lease Year") ($141,075 per annum, $11,756.25 per month), increased,
however, after the 6th Lease Year for increases in the Consumer Price Index as
specified in Section 3.03 below.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant
agree in consideration of Tenant's making the leasehold improvements specified
herein, that the Minimum Rent for the first full six (6) months of the term
hereof shall abate completely. In the event that the Commencement Date of this
Lease falls on a day other than the first day of the month, then the Minimum
Rent shall be prorated for the said partial month in which the Commencement
Date occurs, and thereafter Tenant shall be entitled to a complete abatement of
Minimum Rent for the first full six (6) months of the term hereof, provided,
however, that the prorated Minimum Rent for the partial month in which the
Commencement Date falls shall be due and payable at the end of the rent
abatement period.
SECTION 3.02. LEASE YEAR. As used herein the term "Lease Year"
shall mean the eighteen (18) month period beginning on the first day of the
month during which the Commencement Date occurs, and each consecutive twelve
(12) calendar month period thereafter.
SECTION 3.03. COST OF LIVING INCREASE; CPI ADJUSTMENT. At the end
of the 6th Lease Year and every Lease Year thereafter (including any renewal
periods) the Minimum Rent provided for in Section 3.01(e) above shall be
adjusted to reflect any increase in the consumer price index as hereinafter
provided. Each Lease Year following the 6th Lease Year is hereinafter referred
to as the "Adjustment Period". The adjusted Minimum Rent shall be obtained by
multiplying the Minimum Rent provided in Section 3.01(e) above by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the index number for the first month of each
Adjustment Period hereunder in the column for "All Items" (unadjusted) in the
table entitled "Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers," (index base:
1982 - 84 = 100) "U.S. City Average" published monthly by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor in the Monthly Labor Review (said
table herein referred to as the "CPI-U"), and the denominator of which is the
CPI-U for the first month of the 6th Lease Year of
- 3 -
<PAGE> 7
this Lease. The adjusted rental thus obtained shall be the Minimum Rent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing calculation, the yearly percentage adjustment
pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall in no event be more than five percent (5%)
in any year. Tenant shall continue to pay the Minimum Rent in effect for the
expiring Adjustment Period until notified by Landlord of any increase in such
Minimum Rent. On the first day of the calendar month immediately following
receipt of such notification, Tenant shall commence payment of the new Minimum
Rent specified in the notice, and shall also pay to Landlord, with respect to
the month(s) already expired, the excess of the required monthly rentals
specified in the notice over the monthly amounts theretofore actually paid by
Tenant.
SECTION 3.04. CHANGES IN INDEX. If the "CPI-U" is discontinued, the
"Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers" ("CPI-W")
for "All Items," unadjusted, (index base: 1982 - 84 = 100), "U.S. City
Average," published monthly in the Monthly Labor Review by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the United States Department of Labor shall be used for making
the computation in Section 3.03. If the "CPI-W" is discontinued, comparable
statistics on the purchasing power of the consumer dollar published by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor shall be
used for making the computation in Section 3.03. If the Bureau of Labor
Statistics shall no longer maintain statistics on the purchasing power of the
consumer dollar, comparable statistics published by a responsible financial
periodical or recognized authority selected by the Landlord and reasonably
acceptable to Tenant shall be used for making the computation in Section 3.03.
If the base year "(1982 - 84 = 100)" or other base year used in computing the
CPI-U (or CPI-W if applicable) is changed, the figures used in making the
adjustment in Section 3.03 shall be changed accordingly, so that all increases
in the "CPI-U" (or CPI-W if applicable) are taken into account notwithstanding
any such change in the base year.
SECTION 3.05. PERCENTAGE RENT.
(a) In addition to the Minimum Rent, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord for each calendar year during the term of this Lease, as percentage
rent ("Percentage Rent"), a sum equivalent to the amount, if any, by which two
percent (2%) of Tenant's Gross Sales (as hereinafter defined), exceeds the
annual Minimum Rent set forth in Section 3.01 hereof, for such calendar year.
In the event that the Minimum Rent is adjusted during the calendar year in
question, then the annual Minimum Rent shall mean the average annual Minimum
Rent payable during such calendar year. On or before the 10th day of each
calendar month during the term of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
after deducting therefrom the Minimum Rent paid for the preceding calendar
month, an amount of money equal to the product of 2% multiplied by the Tenant's
Gross Sales made in or from the Premises during such preceding month. In the
event that the total of the monthly payments for Percentage Rent for any
calendar year is not equal to the annual Percentage Rent computed on the
Tenant's Gross Sales for such entire calendar year, then (a) Tenant shall pay
to Landlord any deficiency promptly upon demand, or (b) Landlord shall credit
Tenant's next payment of Minimum Rent with any excess. If an overpayment
occurs during the last year of the term hereof, Landlord shall refund such
excess to Tenant within 30 days after the termination hereof. In no event shall
the rent to be paid by Tenant and retained by Landlord for any calendar year be
less than the annual Minimum Rent herein specified.
- 4 -
<PAGE> 8
(b) If this Lease (or operation by Tenant of its business
on the Premises) should commence on a date other than the first day of a
calendar year or terminate on a date other than the last day of a calendar
year, Percentage Rent for such fractional part of the calendar year following
the Commencement Date (or commencement by Tenant of its business on the
Premises) or preceding the termination date, as the case may be, shall be paid
at the specified rate or rates for all sales made during such fractional part
of a calendar year, after deducting from such Percentage Rent all payments of
Minimum Rent for such fractional period, such Percentage Rent to be paid in
monthly installments as provided above with respect to full calendar years.
(c) As used herein, the term "Tenant's Gross Sales" shall
mean the gross proceeds from all sales of merchandise, services and other
receipts whatsoever of all business conducted in or from the Premises, whether
sold for cash or on credit, including, without limitation, redemption of gift
and merchandise certificates, deposits not refunded to purchasers, orders taken
at the Premises although such orders may be filled elsewhere, sales through
vending machines or other devices, and sales by any subtenant, concessionaire
or licensee in the Premises. Tenant's Gross Sales shall not include (i) any
sums collected from customers and paid out for a sales or excise or similar tax
imposed by any duly constituted governmental authority if the amount of such
tax is separately charged to the customer and paid by Tenant directly to or for
the benefit of the governmental authority, (ii) the exchange of merchandise
with other stores of Tenant, if such exchange is made solely for the convenient
operation of the business of Tenant and not for the purpose of consummating a
sale which was made in or from the Premises or if such exchange of merchandise
is not for the purpose of depriving Landlord of the benefit of a sale which
otherwise would be made in or from the Premises, (iii) the amount of returns to
suppliers or manufacturers, (iv) sales of Tenant's furniture, fixtures and
equipment not in the ordinary course of Tenant's business, (v) amounts charged
customers for mailing, delivery, alterations or such other services, (vi)
amounts received from sales of distressed, damaged or obsolescent merchandise
sold in bulk to persons other than retail customers, (vii) amounts charged to
Tenant by credit card companies for processing of credit card charges from the
Premises, (viii) sales of gift certificates unless and until such gift
certificates are actually redeemed on the Premises, (ix) revenue earned by
outside contractors such as health care specialists or cooking instructors that
are invited by Tenant to present instructional courses on the Premises. Tenant
shall be entitled to a credit against Tenant's Gross Sales for any cash or
credit refund made for any returned merchandise accepted by Tenant and
previously included in Tenant's Gross Sales.
(d) On or before the 10th day of each calendar month
during the term of this Lease, Tenant shall send to Landlord at the place
designated by Landlord a statement of Tenant's Gross Sales made during the
preceding calendar month. In addition, within sixty (60) days after the
expiration of each calendar year, Tenant shall prepare and deliver to Landlord
at the place designated by Landlord a statement of Tenant's Gross Sales during
the preceding calendar year (or partial year), certified to be correct by an
independent certified public accountant or by an officer of Tenant. Landlord
agrees to keep such statements strictly confidential and agrees to use such
statements solely for the purpose of verifying Tenant's Gross Sales, and
- 5 -
<PAGE> 9
will not divulge the same to any other person or entity except (i) in
connection with any sale or financing of the Premises or (ii) if required by
any governmental authority. Tenant shall furnish similar statements for its
licensees, concessionaires and subtenants, if any. All such statements shall be
in such form as Landlord may require. If any such statement discloses an error
in the calculation of the Percentage Rent for any period, appropriate
adjustment of the Percentage Rent shall be made, subject, however, to
Landlord's rights under Section 3.05 (f). Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary in the event that, at any time during the term hereof, Tenant
submits to Landlord more than one (1) incorrect statement of Tenant's Gross
Sales, that understates Tenant's Gross Sales for the period in question by more
than two percent (2%), then Landlord shall have the right to require that all
statements of Tenant's Gross Sales submitted thereafter be certified to be
correct by an independent certified public accountant.
(e) Tenant shall keep on the Premises or at some other
location in the city in which the Premises are located, approved in writing by
Landlord, a permanent, accurate set of books and records of all sales of
merchandise and revenue derived from business conducted in or from the
Premises, and all supporting records such as tax reports, banking records, cash
register tapes, sales slips and other sales records. All such books and
records shall be retained and preserved for at least 36 months after the end of
the calendar year to which they relate, and shall be subject to inspection and
audit by Landlord and its agents at all reasonable times.
(f) In the event Landlord is not satisfied with any
monthly statement or certified annual statement of gross sales submitted by
Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to have its auditors make a special
audit of all books and records, wherever located, pertaining to sales made in
or from the Premises during the period in question. If such statements are
found to understate Tenant's Gross Sales by more than two percent (2%) from the
figures submitted by Tenant, Tenant shall pay for the entire cost of such
audit. Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord any deficiency.
SECTION 3.06. PAYMENT. All rental provided herein shall be paid to
Landlord in monthly installments as specified herein at the address specified
in Article XVI hereof, or such other place. as Landlord shall designate in
writing pursuant to the notice provisions contained in Article XVI hereof,
without deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America.
Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge of $250 if any payment of rent due
hereunder is not received by Landlord within ten (10) days of the due date. Any
rental or other amount due from Tenant under this Lease not paid within fifteen
(15) days of the date when due shall bear interest from the date due until the
date paid at the lower of (i) the highest lawful rate of interest per annum or
(ii) the prime rate of interest charged by Chemical Bank, plus six percent (6%)
per annum, but the payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any
default by Tenant under this Lease. The covenants herein to pay rent shall be
independent of any other covenants set forth in this Lease. In the event that
Tenant should default in the payment of all or any portion of any payment of
rent provided for herein and should remain in default for a period of 10 days
after receipt of written notice thereof, all installments of Minimum Rent for
the entire term of this Lease then unpaid shall, at the option of the Landlord,
be accelerated and become immediately due and payable.

<PAGE> 10
SECTION 3.07. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Concurrently with Tenant's
execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the sum of $25,000.
On or before the Commencement Date (as defined in Section 4.04 hereof), Tenant
shall deposit with Landlord the additional sum of $25,000, all of which (the
balance of said amounts being hereinafter referred to as the "Security
Deposit") shall be held by Landlord, as security for performance of Tenant's
covenants and obligations under this Lease, it being expressly understood and
agreed that such deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of
Landlord's damages in case of Tenant's default. Tenant may elect to direct that
such sums be placed in an interest bearing account, or to substitute for such
funds at any time a letter of credit, in form acceptable to Landlord. If
Tenant provides a letter of credit meeting the requirements hereof, then
Landlord shall return the Security Deposit funds, with interest, within three
(3) days of delivery of such letter of credit. Any interest accruing on such
account shall be held by Landlord but shall accrue for the benefit of Tenant.
At Tenant's option, following the calculation of annual Percentage Rent for any
calendar year during the term hereof, any Percentage Rent owing from Tenant to
Landlord under Section 3.05 hereof may be paid as a reduction against the
Security Deposit, or, if already paid, shall entitle Tenant to a reduction of
the Security Deposit equal to the amount of Percentage Rent actually paid
during such calendar year. If Tenant has elected to substitute a letter of
credit, following the annual calculation of Percentage Rent, the stated amount
of the letter of credit may be reduced by the amount of Percentage Rent
actually paid to Landlord during such calendar year. Upon the occurrence of
any default by Tenant, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other available
remedy, use the Security Deposit to make good any rent arrearage or any other
damage, injury, expense or liability caused by such event of default. If Tenant
has not defaulted hereunder, any remaining balance of such Security Deposit
shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant on July 30, 1993.

impair Tenant's ability to conduct its business on the Premises. If the
Premises are not ready for occupancy prior to November 1, 1990, Landlord
-7-
<PAGE> 11
shall neither be deemed in default hereunder or otherwise liable in damages to
Tenant, nor shall the term of this Lease be affected, except that if for any
reason the Premises are not ready for occupancy prior to November 1, 1990, then
Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for damages in the amount of $1,000 per day
for each day following November 1, 1990 that the Premises are not ready for
occupancy. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that it will be difficult
to ascertain the damages incurred by Tenant if the Premises are not ready for
occupancy by November 1, 1990 and that such liquidated damages will fully
compensate Tenant for the injuries suffered. Furthermore, if for any reason the
Premises are not ready for occupancy within 30 days following November 1,
1990, Tenant may at its option cancel and terminate this Lease by written
notice to Landlord delivered within 5 days following the expiration of such
30-day period, in which event neither party shall have any further liabilities
or obligations hereunder, except that Landlord shall return to Tenant any
prepaid rent or Security Deposit.
SECTION 4.02. TENANT'S WORK. When the Premises are deemed ready
for occupancy, Tenant agrees to accept possession thereof and to proceed with
due diligence to perform Tenant's construction obligations (hereinafter
"Tenant's Work") as specified in Exhibit "C" attached hereto and incorporated
herein by reference, all of such work to be performed in compliance with
Exhibit "C", and to install its fixtures, furniture and equipment necessary for
Tenant to conduct on the Premises its business. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord agrees to allow Tenant
access to the Premises for the purpose of beginning Tenant's Work prior to the
date the Premises are deemed ready for occupancy, provided that Tenant does not
interfere with Landlord's ability to complete Landlord's construction
obligations hereunder. Tenant shall be responsible for any permits necessary
for Tenant's Work. Tenant agrees that, if requested by Landlord, Tenant will
furnish Landlord with a written statement that Tenant has accepted the Premises
and that Landlord has fully complied with Landlord's covenants and obligations
hereunder. Tenant agrees to furnish Landlord a certificate of occupancy from
applicable local authorities upon commencement of its business at the Premises.
Tenant shall have until the later of February 1, 1991 or 90 days after the
Premises are deemed ready for occupancy in which to complete the Tenant's Work.
In the event that the Tenant fails to complete the Tenant's Work within such
time period, then the Security Deposit shall be forfeited to Landlord, Tenant
shall be in default hereunder, and Landlord may pursue any and all remedies.
Landlord shall pay Tenant $20,000.00 as an allowance for the completion of
Tenant's Work, such amount to be paid by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30)
days of receipt by Landlord of appropriate invoices showing that Tenant has
paid for such portion of Tenant's Work represented by such invoices.
SECTION 4.03. LANDLORD'S ADDITIONAL WORK. Landlord shall have
until August 1, 1991 to complete the additional improvements consisting of the
exterior facade and roof work ("Landlord's Additional Work") in accordance with
the specifications set forth on Exhibit "D" attached hereto and incorporated
herein by reference; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation
to commence or continue Landlord's Additional Work if Tenant has defaulted
hereunder. In performing Landlord's Additional Work Landlord shall take
reasonable measures to minimize disruption of Tenant's normal
- 8 -
<PAGE> 12
business operations. In the event that Landlord has not substantially
completed Landlord's Additional Work on or before August 1, 1991, then subject
to Section 4.05 hereof and provided that Tenant has not substantially
interfered with Landlord's ability to complete Landlord's Additional Work,
Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for $300 per day for each day following
August 1, 1991 that Landlord has not substantially completed Landlord's
Additional Work.
SECTION 4.04. COMMENCEMENT DATE. The "Commencement Date" of this
Lease shall be the later of (i) November 1, 1990 or (ii) the date that the
Landlord substantially completes Landlord's Initial Work and the Premises are
deemed ready for occupancy as specified in Section 4.01 above.
SECTION 4.05. UNAVOIDABLE DELAYS. With respect to the construction
obligations of either Landlord or Tenant under this Article IV, any prevention,
delay, nonperformance or stoppage due to any of the following causes shall
excuse nonperformance for a period equal to any such prevention, delay,
nonperformance or stoppage. The causes referred to above are strikes,
lockouts, labor disputes, failure of power, acts of God, acts of public enemies
of the State of New Mexico or of the United States, riots, insurrections, civil
commotions, inability to obtain labor or materials or reasonable substitutes
for either, governmental restrictions or regulations or control, casualties, or
other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform.
SECTION 4.06. ASBESTOS. Tenant acknowledges receipt of that
certain Final Report -- Survey For Asbestos Containing Materials dated October
2, 1989 pertaining to the Premises and prepared by CERL, Inc. Environmental
Consultants (the "Environmental Report"). Landlord agrees to complete
Landlord's initial work so as not to disturb the floor tiles, floor tile
mastics, sheet rock joint compounds and/or pipes located beneath the compressor
room in the central west area of the stockroom, which materials have been
identified as asbestos containing materials in the Environmental Report. The
listed materials are hereinafter referred to as "ACM's." Additionally, Landlord
will paint the stockroom area to prevent inadvertent fiber release should the
sheet rock joint compound therein be subjected to scrapes or collisions.
Tenant agrees to perform Tenant's work in such a manner as not to disturb the
ACM's and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any
and all claims, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities or
losses which arise during or after the term hereof as a result of any breach by
Tenant of its covenants under this Section 4.04 or as a result of any
disturbance to the ACM's during Tenant's occupancy of the Premises caused by
Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors and invitees.
ARTICLE V
TAXES
Tenant shall pay, prior to delinquency, all personal property taxes
and assessments on the furniture, fixtures, equipment and other property of
Tenant at any time situated on or installed in the Premises. Landlord has the
sole right to render the Premises to any appropriate taxing authorities.
Tenant, as additional rent, agrees to pay to Landlord as hereinafter set forth
all valorem taxes (both general and special),
- 9 -
<PAGE> 13
assessments, or governmental charges (hereinafter "taxes") lawfully levied or
assessed against the Premises including, without limitation, taxes assessed by
the City, County, School Districts, and/or Water Districts in which the Land is
located.
Tenant's obligation hereunder shall be payable as additional rent, as
determined by the following method:
As soon as practicable after the beginning of each calendar
year during the term hereof, Landlord shall furnish Tenant a
written statement estimating the total taxes due for said
calendar year (the "Estimate"). Beginning with the first
month following receipt of said statement, Tenant shall pay
Landlord monthly, as additional rent, one-twelfth (1/12) of
the Estimate. In addition, Tenant shall pay with the rental
payment for the first month following receipt of the Estimate
an amount equal to the number of months elapsed in the
calendar year prior to receipt of the Estimate times
one-twelfth (1/12) of the Estimate, so as to bring said
monthly payments current for the year. As soon as practicable
after the end of each calendar year during the term hereof,
Landlord shall furnish Tenant a written statement showing the
total taxes actually due for the calendar year ended (the
"Actual Taxes"). If the Actual Taxes exceed the Estimate, then
Tenant agrees to pay within ten (10) days of receipt of said
statement, as additional rent, the difference between the
Actual Taxes and the Estimate. If the Estimate exceeds the
Actual Taxes, then Landlord agrees to refund the difference at
the time that such statement is furnished.
Tenant shall have the right to inspect, at Landlord's business office
during regular business hours and upon reasonable notice to Landlord, the tax
bills which Landlord receives from the applicable taxing authorities. Landlord
shall furnish Tenant a copy of such tax bills upon request. The provisions of
this Article V shall apply for any partial calendar year during which this
Lease is effective, subject to a pro rata adjustment based upon the number of
calendar months or portions thereof that Tenant occupied the Premises. Tenant
shall not, however, be obligated to pay ad valorem taxes on the Premises during
the rent abatement period.
ARTICLE VI

expense, all electric light bulbs and tubes. Landlord shall not be liable for
any interruption or failure of utility services to the Premises, and this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect despite such interruptions, unless
caused by Landlord's actionable conduct.

MAINTENANCE
Landlord shall keep the foundation, the exterior walls (except store
fronts, plate glass windows, doors, door closure devices, window and door
frames, moulding, locks and hardware and painting or other treatment of
interior and exterior walls) and roof (excepting any leaks caused by Tenant,
its contractors, employees, or agents) of the Premises in good repair, except
that Landlord shall not be required to make any repairs occasioned by any act
of negligence of Tenant, its agents, employees, subtenants, licensees and
concessionaires, which repairs shall be made by Tenant. In the event that the
Premises should become in need of repairs required to be made by Landlord
hereunder, Tenant shall give immediate written notice thereof to Landlord and
Landlord shall not be responsible in any way for failure to make any such
repairs until a reasonable time shall have elapsed after delivery of such
written notice. Landlord's obligation hereunder is limited to repairs specified
in this Article VII only, and Landlord shall have no liability for any damages
or injury arising out of any condition or occurrence causing a need for such
repairs. Tenant shall keep the Premises in good, clean condition and shall, at
its sole cost and expense, make all needed repairs and replacements to the
Premises, except for repairs and replacements required to be made by Landlord
under the provisions of Article VII hereof and Article IX including, without
limitation, replacement of cracked or broken glass and any necessary
maintenance and repair of the driveways, sidewalks, surface areas and parking
areas, and shall keep all plumbing units, pipes and connections free from
obstruction and protected against ice and freezing. If any repairs required to
be made by Tenant hereunder are not made within 20 days after written notice
delivered to Tenant by Landlord, Landlord may, at its option, make such repairs
without liability to Tenant for any loss or damage which may result in Tenant's
stock or business by reason of such repairs, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord
immediately upon demand as additional rental hereunder the cost of such repairs
plus 10% of the amount thereof and failure to do so shall constitute a default
hereunder. At the expiration of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender Premises in
good condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, Landlord warrants that the heating and air conditioning
equipment will be in proper working order as of the Commencement Date. Landlord
shall be responsible for the replacement of all heating and air conditioning
equipment which becomes out of repair during the term hereof provided that the
Tenant has maintained a preventative maintenance contract with a qualified
company covering such equipment throughout the term of this Lease. In the event
Tenant fails to maintain in force the said preventative maintenance contract,
Tenant shall be fully responsible for all replacements of said equipment that
becomes out of repair during the term hereof.

POLICY REQUIREMENTS; LIFE INSURANCE
SECTION 8.01. FIRE AND EXTENDED CASUALTY. Tenant shall at its
expense insure the Building under all risk property insurance in such amounts
as may be required by Landlord's
- 11 -
<PAGE> 15
mortgagee, or in such greater amounts as Landlord, in its reasonable
discretion, may deem appropriate. Such insurance shall be for the sole benefit
of Landlord and, if required, Landlord's mortgagee.
SECTION 8.02. LIABILITY INSURANCE. Tenant shall maintain public
liability insurance on the Premises during the term hereof, covering the Tenant
and naming the Landlord as an additional "named" insured with terms and
companies satisfactory to Landlord for limits of not less than $1,000,000 for
bodily injury, including death, and personal injury for any one occurrence,
$500,000 property damage insurance or a combined single limit of $1,000,000.
Tenant's insurance will include contractual liability coverage recognizing this
Lease, products and/or completed operations liability and will provide that
Landlord shall be given a minimum of thirty (30) days written notice by the
insurance company prior to cancellation, termination or change in such
insurance. The required limits of the general liability policy of insurance
required to be provided by Tenant hereunder shall be subject to increase at any
time, and from time to time, after the commencement of this Lease if Landlord
in the exercise of its reasonable judgment shall deem same necessary for its
adequate protection. Within thirty (30) days after demand therefor by Landlord,
Tenant shall furnish Landlord with evidence that such demand for increased
limits has been complied with. In no event, however, shall such excess amounts
exceed those limits carried by prudent operators of similar businesses.
SECTION 8.03. WAIVER OF CLAIMS. Tenant, as a material part of the
consideration to be rendered to Landlord under this Lease, to the extent
permitted by law, hereby waives all claims Tenant or Tenant's successor or
assigns may have against Landlord, its agents, servants or employees for loss,
theft or damage to property and for injuries to persons in, upon or about the
Premises, from any cause whatsoever (except for Landlord's gross negligence),
including, but not limited to, claims for damage resulting from: (a) any damage
done or caused by wind, water or other natural element; (b) injury to persons
or property resulting from fire, explosion, gas, or electricity; (c) any defect
in or failure of plumbing, heating or air conditioning equipment, electric
wiring or installation thereof, gas, water, steam pipes, stairs, porches,
railings or walks; (d) broken glass; (e) the backing up of any sewer pipe or
downspout; (f) the bursting, leaking or running of any tank, tub, washstand,
water closet, wastepipe, drain or any other pipe or tank in, upon, or about
such Premises; (g) the escape of steam or hot water; (h) water, snow or ice
upon the Premises; (i) the falling of any fixture, plaster or stucco; (j)
damage to or loss by theft or otherwise of property of Tenant or others; (k)
acts or omission of persons in the Premises, occupants of nearby properties, or
any other persons; and (l) any act or omission of owners of adjacent or
contiguous property. All property of Tenant kept in the Premises shall be so
kept at Tenant's risk only and Tenant shall save Landlord harmless from claims
arising out of damage to the same, including subrogation claims by Tenant's
insurance carrier.
SECTION 8.04. INDEMNITY. Tenant shall indemnify and save harmless
Landlord from and against any and all liability, liens, claims, demands,
damages, expenses, fees, costs, fines, penalties, suits, proceedings, actions
and causes of action of any and every kind and nature arising or growing out of
or in any way connected with Tenant's use, occupancy, management or control of
the Premises or Tenant's operations, conduct or activities on the Premises.
- 12 -
<PAGE> 16
SECTION 8.05. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Each party hereto waives any
and every claim which arises or may arise in its favor and against the other
party hereto during the term of this Lease or any renewal or extension thereof
for any and all loss of, or damage to, any of its property located within or
upon, or constituting a part of, the Premises leased to Tenant hereunder, which
loss or damage is covered by valid and collectible fire and extended coverage
insurance policies, to the extent that such loss or damage is recoverable under
said insurance policies. Said mutual waivers shall be in addition to, and not
in limitation or derogation of, any other waiver or release contained in this
Lease with respect to any loss of, or damage to, property of the parties
hereto. Inasmuch as the above mutual waivers will preclude the assignment of
any aforesaid claim by way of subrogation (or otherwise) to an insurance
company (or any other person), each party hereto hereby agrees immediately to
give to each insurance company which has issued to it policies of fire and
extended coverage insurance, written notice of the terms of said mutual
waivers, and to have said insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary,
to prevent the invalidation of said insurance coverages by reason of said
waivers.
SECTION 8.06. POLICY REQUIREMENTS. All policies of insurance
required hereunder shall be written by insurance companies authorized to do
business in the State of New Mexico and shall be written by companies approved
by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Certificates of
insurance shall be delivered to Landlord upon request by Landlord. Each such
certificate shall contain a statement of the coverage provided by the policy, a
statement of the period during which the policy is in effect, a statement that
the annual premium or the annual deposit premium for such policy has been paid
in advance, and an agreement by the insurance company issuing such policy that
the policy will not be canceled or reduced in any amount for any reason
whatsoever without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord.
In the event that Tenant fails or refuses to promptly provide Landlord with a
certificate of insurance evidencing any coverage required to be maintained by
Tenant hereunder, then Landlord may obtain any such coverage on behalf of
Tenant, and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any costs incurred by
Landlord in obtaining such coverage.
SECTION 8.07. LIFE INSURANCE. Tenant agrees that it will deliver
on or before the date that Tenant takes possession of the Premises a life
insurance policy on the lives of the Guarantors, such life insurance policy to
be in a total face amount equal to or greater than the aggregate Minimum Rent
obligations of the Tenant under this Lease during the unexpired term of the
Lease. Such life insurance policy (the "Life Insurance Policy") shall be a
"second to die" policy, providing for the payment of the death benefits
thereunder upon the death of the second of the two insureds named thereunder.
The Life Insurance Policy shall be collaterally assigned by the Guarantors to
secure the performance of all obligations of the Tenant under the Lease and the
Guarantors under their guaranty. Tenant and Guarantors shall have the right to
reduce the face amount of the Life Insurance Policy periodically, provided that
the total face amount thereof at all times equals or exceeds the total Minimum
Rent obligation of the Tenant hereunder during the unexpired term of the Lease.
The Life Insurance Policy shall be collaterally assigned to Landlord by way of
an assignment in the form of Exhibit "F" attached hereto and incorporated
herein by reference.

ARTICLE IX
DESTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY
If the Premises should be damaged or destroyed by fire, tornado or
other casualty, Tenant shall give immediate written notice thereof to Landlord.
Following the receipt of such notice, Landlord shall, at Landlord's expense,
proceed with reasonable diligence to rebuild and repair the Premises to
substantially the condition in which they existed prior to such damage, except
that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace any leasehold
improvements which may have been placed on the Premises by Tenant. If the
Premises are untenantable in whole or in part following such damage, the rent
payable hereunder during the period in which they are untenantable shall be
reduced to such extent as shall be fair and reasonable under all of the
circumstances. If Landlord's rebuilding and repair cannot or will not be
completed within one hundred eighty (180) days of the occurrence giving rise to
such damage, then either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate the Lease
effective upon the date of such occurrence by giving written notice of such
election to the other party within thirty (30) days of the date of such
occurrence, in which event neither party shall have any further rights or
obligations hereunder following such termination, except, however, with respect
to any claims accruing or arising hereunder prior to the effective date of such
termination.

insurance upon the Premises, or cause a cancellation of any insurance policy
covering the Premises, or any part thereof, nor shall Tenant sell, or permit to
be kept, used, or sold in or about the Premises, any article which may be
prohibited by any insurance policies. Tenant shall not commit, or suffer to be
committed, any waste upon the Premises, or any public or private nuisance, nor,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall Tenant allow the
Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable
purpose. Tenant warrants that at all times during the term hereof Tenant will
conduct its operations on the Premises in compliance with all applicable
environmental laws, rules, regulations and ordinances and that at the time that
Tenant relinquishes possession, the Premises will be in compliance with all
- 14 -
<PAGE> 18
applicable environmental laws, rules, regulations and ordinances. Tenant's
operations on the Premises shall hot involve the unlawful generation, disposal
or storage of hazardous waste or hazardous substances, and the Premises shall
not be used for any such purposes. Immediately upon receipt, Tenant agrees to

Premises or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in
any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule or
regulation now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated.

statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations or requirements now in
force or which may hereafter be in force and with the requirements of any board

affected by Tenant's improvements or acts.
ARTICLE XI
ALTERATIONS; SIGNS
SECTION 11.01. ALTERATIONS AND SURRENDER OF PREMISES. Tenant shall
not make any major alterations in or additions, (including construction of
additional Buildings on the Land) changes or repairs to the Premises without
Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Landlord has approved Tenant's Work, as reflected on Exhibit "C".
Additionally, Tenant may make nonstructural alterations to the interior of the
Premises not exceeding $5,000 in cost without Landlord's prior written consent.
Tenant may, at its expense, when surrendering the Premises, remove from the
Premises all alterations, improvements and changes installed after the date of
execution hereof in the Premises by Tenant on the condition that no structural
components shall be removed, and all damage resulting from removal of any
additions shall be repaired by Tenant. If Tenant does not remove said
additions, decorations, fixtures, hardware, nontrade fixtures and improvements
after request to do so by Landlord, Landlord may remove the same and Tenant
shall pay the cost of such removal to Landlord upon demand. Tenant hereby
agrees to hold Landlord, its agents and employees harmless from any and all
liabilities of every kind and description which may arise out of or be
connected in any way with said alterations or additions. Any mechanic's lien
filed against the Premises for work claimed to have been furnished to Tenant
shall be discharged of record by Tenant within ten (10) days after the filing
thereof, at Tenant's expense or, alternatively, Tenant may elect to provide
Landlord with an acceptable bond from a surety company reasonably acceptable
to Landlord in the amount of one and one-half times the amount of the lien. All
alterations and additions shall comply with all insurance requirements and with
all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations. All alterations and
additions shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner and only good
grades
- 15 -
<PAGE> 19

surrender the Premises to Landlord in as good condition and repair as
reasonable and proper use thereof will permit, loss by ordinary wear and tear

ARTICLE XII
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Tenant shall not assign this Lease, or any interest therein, and shall
not sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or any right or privilege
appurtenant thereto, or suffer any other person to occupy or use the Premises,
or any portion thereof, without the written consent of Landlord first had and
obtained, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Landlord agrees to
promptly consider any requests from Tenant to assign this Lease or sublet the
Premises. Landlord may, as conditions to the giving of such consent, require
that: (i) at the time thereof Tenant is not in default under this Lease, (ii)
Landlord, in its sole discretion reasonably exercised, determines that the
reputation, business, proposed use of the Premises and financial responsibility
of and by the proposed assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, of
the Premises are satisfactory to Landlord, (iii) any assignee shall expressly
assume all the obligations of this Lease on Tenant's part to be performed, (iv)
such consent if given shall not, unless agreed to in writing by Landlord,
release Tenant or any Guarantor of any of its obligations (including, without

specifically to pay over to Landlord, as additional rent, all sums received by
Tenant under the terms and conditions of such assignment or sublease, which are
in excess of the amounts otherwise required to be paid pursuant to this Lease
and (vi) a consent to one assignment, subletting, occupation or use by any
other person shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment,
subletting, occupation or use by another person. Any such assignment or
subletting without such consent shall be void and shall, at the option of
Landlord, constitute a default under this Lease. Neither this Lease nor any
interest therein shall be assignable as to the interest of Tenant by operation
of law without the written consent of Landlord. Any transfer of stock in Tenant
or the corporate Guarantors (Wild Oats Market, Inc. or Wild Oats Market of
Denver, Inc.) which results in Elizabeth Cook or Michael Gilliland not owning
in the aggregate at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting stock of either
Tenant or the corporate Guarantor shall be considered an assignment of this
Lease.
ARTICLE XIII
DEFAULT
SECTION 13.01. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The following shall be considered
for all purposes to be events of default under and a breach of this Lease: (a)
any failure of Tenant to pay any
- 16 -
<PAGE> 20
rent or other amount within ten (10) days of the date when due hereunder
(provided, however, that Landlord agrees to give Tenant notice of any rent
default and ten (10) days from the giving of such notice to cure such rent
default no more than once during any eighteen (18) month period during the term
hereof); (b) any failure by Tenant to perform or observe any other of the
terms, provisions, conditions and covenants of this Lease for more than twenty
(20) days after written notice of such failure; (c) Landlord determining that

receiver or trustee of all or a portion of Tenant's property, or Tenant or any
Guarantor makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (e) if Tenant
abandons, vacates or does not do business in the Premises for ten (10) days
(excluding, however, any remodeling done with Landlord's approval); (f) this
Lease, Tenant's interest herein or in the Premises, any improvements thereon,
or any property of Tenant is executed upon or attached; (g) the Premises come
into the hands of any person other than expressly permitted under this Lease;
or (h) Tenant shall do or permit to be done anything which creates a lien upon
the Premises which is not released within sixty (60) days.
SECTION 13.02. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any
event of default specified in this Lease, Landlord, without grace period,
demand or notice (except as specified in Section 13.01 above), and in addition
to all other rights or remedies Landlord may have for such default, shall have
the right to pursue any one or more of the following remedies:
(a) Terminate this Lease in which event Tenant shall
immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so,
Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for
possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the
Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying
said Premises or any part thereof; and Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord on
demand the amount of all loss and damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of
such termination, whether through inability to relet the Premises on
satisfactory terms or otherwise, including the loss of rental for the remainder
of the Lease term;
(b) Without terminating this Lease, enter upon and take
possession of the Premises, and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who
may be occupying said Premises, or any part thereof. Landlord may make such
alterations and repairs as it deems advisable to relet the Premises, and relet
the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may extend
beyond the term of this Lease) and at such rentals and upon such other terms
and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion deems advisable; upon each
such reletting all rentals received by Landlord therefrom shall be applied
first, to any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to
Landlord; second, to pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses of
reletting, including brokers, and attorneys' fees and costs of alterations and
repairs; third, to rent due hereunder; and fourth, the residue, if any, shall
be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as it becomes due
hereunder. If rentals received from such reletting during any month are less
than that to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall
immediately pay any such deficiency to Landlord.
- 17 -
<PAGE> 21
No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be
construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of
such termination is given by Landlord to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such
reletting or re-entry or taking possession, without termination, Landlord may
at any time thereafter terminate this Lease for any prior breach or default.
Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any of
the other remedies herein provided or any other remedies provided by law, nor
shall pursuit of any remedy herein provided constitute a forfeiture or waiver
of any rent due to Landlord hereunder or of any damages accruing to Landlord.
If Landlord terminates this Lease for any breach or default by Tenant, in
addition to all other remedies provided by law to which Landlord may be
entitled, Landlord may recover from Tenant all damages incurred by reason of
such breach or default, including, without limitation, all costs of retaking
the Premises and the total rent and charges reserved in this Lease for the
remainder of the term of this Lease all of which shall be immediately due and
payable by Tenant to Landlord. It is agreed by the parties that the actual
damages which will be sustained by Landlord by reason of Tenant's failure to
pay when due monthly payments are uncertain and difficult to ascertain, and it
is further agreed that the sum of all accelerated and unpaid monthly payments,
less the then reasonable reletting value of the Premises, would be reasonable
and just compensation for such failure and tenant hereby promises to pay and
Landlord hereby agrees to accept such sums as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty in the event of such breach.
SECTION 13.03. LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULT. If Tenant shall be in
default hereunder, Landlord shall have the right to make any payment or perform
any act required of Tenant under any provision of this Lease, and in exercising
such right, to incur necessary or incidental costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorney's fees. All payments made and all costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord in connection with any exercise of such right, together
with interest thereon at the lower of (i) the highest lawful rate per annum or
(ii) the prime rate of interest charged by Chemical Bank, plus six percent (6%)
per annum from the respective dates of making such payments or the incurring of
such costs and expenses, shall be reimbursed by Tenant immediately upon demand.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall imply any obligation on the
part of Landlord to make any payment or perform any act required of Tenant.
SECTION 13.04. WAIVER. No waiver of any default shall constitute a
waiver of any other breach or default, whether of the same or any other
covenant or condition. No waiver, benefit, privilege or service voluntarily
given or performed by either party shall give the other any contractual right
by custom, estoppel or otherwise. The subsequent acceptance of rent pursuant to
this Lease shall not constitute a waiver of any preceding default by Tenant,
regardless of Landlord's knowledge of the preceding breach at the time of
accepting the rent, nor shall acceptance of rent or other payment after
termination constitute a reinstatement, extension or renewal of the Lease or
revocation of any notice or other act by Landlord.
ARTICLE XIV
EMINENT DOMAIN
If the entire Premises shall be lawfully taken or condemned (or
conveyed under threat of such taking or condemnation) for any public or
quasi-public use or purpose, the term of this
- 18 -
<PAGE> 22
Lease shall end upon, and not before, the date of the taking of possession by
the condemning authority. Current rent shall be apportioned as of the date of
such termination. If any part of the Premises not constituting the entire
Premises shall be taken or condemned or conveyed under threat of such taking or
condemnation and such taking substantially impairs the use of the Premises for
the purpose and in the manner as existed immediately prior to such taking, then
either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to cancel this Lease, such
cancellation to take place not later than the date of the taking of possession
by the condemning authority. No money or other consideration shall be payable
by either party to the other for the right of cancellation but rent shall be
apportioned through the date of such taking. Landlord and Tenant shall each be
entitled to receive and retain such separate awards and portions of lump sum
awards as may be allocated to their respective interests in any condemnation
proceeding. Termination of this Lease shall not affect the rights of the
respective parties to such awards.
ARTICLE XV
RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS
During the term of this Lease, neither Tenant nor any "affiliate" of
Tenant, as such term is hereinafter defined, shall directly or indirectly
engage in any business which is similar or which competes with the business of
Tenant authorized under Section 2.01 of this Lease, within a radius of ten (10)
miles from the outside boundary of the Premises. As used herein, the term
"affiliate" shall mean (i) any person or entity which, either alone or acting in
concert with one or more other persons or entities, has the power to vote ten
(10) percent or more of the voting shares of the Tenant and (ii) any entity of
which the Tenant owns more than ten (10) percent of the voting stock or holds
more than a ten (10) percent ownership interest.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's sole remedy in the event of
a violation by Tenant of its covenants in this Article XV shall be to collect
from Tenant additional rent, which additional rent Tenant hereby agrees to pay
to Landlord as follows:
(a) In the event that such competing business is a "new
store", i.e., a store which has not been previously operated as a natural
grocery store within ten miles of the Premises, then Tenant shall pay to
Landlord two percent (2%) of all gross sales over $3,000,000 from all such new
stores located within said ten mile radius of the Premises.
(b) In the event that such competing store is not a "new
store" and Tenant purchases an existing business which has been previously
operated as a natural grocery store, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as
additional rent two percent (2%) of gross sales over $6,000,000 from all such
other store it owns and operates within said ten mile radius of the Premises.

certain Lease Agreement dated July 31, 1990 (the "Lease") pertaining to certain

WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Lease to include under the

NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:
1. Except as otherwise defined in this Amendment, all capitalized
terms used in this Amendment shall have the same meaning as such terms are
given in the Lease.
2. Section 1.02 of the Lease is deleted in its entirety and the
following provision is substituted therefor:
"SECTION 1.02. DEFINITIONS AND USE OF TERMS.
When used in this Lease:

in Section 1.01 above and the Additional Land

business in such space, then the Expansion Space or portion
thereof in which Tenant is not operating its business may be
used for the operation of any retail or service establishment
permitted by the zoning classification applicable to the

Store Operation (as such terms are defined in Section 10.02

4. Section 2.02 of the Lease is deleted in its entirety and the

twelve (12) additional periods of five (5) years each, with
respect to the Original Premises and (ii) thirteen (13)
additional periods of five (5) years each with respect to the

(6) months prior to the applicable expiration date. Such
extension terms shall be upon the same terms, conditions and
rentals as contained herein except that the rental applicable
during such extended term(s) shall be as provided in Section
3.01 hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
following the exercise of the first five (5) year option by
Tenant with respect to the Additional Land, Tenant shall not
thereafter have the right to exercise its renewal option with
respect to the Additional Land unless Tenant simultaneously
exercises its renewal option with respect to the original
Premises."
6. The following provision is added to the end of Section 3.01 of
the Lease:
"Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.01 to the
contrary, from and after the Site Improvement Completion Date,
Tenant shall pay rent as provided in Subsections (f) and (g)
below.
(f) Initial Minimum Rent. During the initial term hereof,
as set forth in Section 2.02, Tenant shall pay
Landlord Minimum Rent on or before the first day of
each month as follows:

$172,500.00 per annum ($14,375.00 per month).

(g) Adjustments to Minimum Rent During Renewal Periods.
The Minimum Rent payable with respect to the original

during any renewal term with respect to the
Original Premises will be the lesser of (i)
the Minimum Rent specified in Subsection (f)
-3-
<PAGE> 4
(i) immediately above increased to reflect
increases in the Consumer Price Index (as
defined in Section 3.03) for the period from
the effective date of this Amendment through
the last day of the immediately preceding
expired term or extension or (ii) sixty-five
percent (65%) of the annualized average total
rent (i.e. Minimum Rent plus Percentage Rent)
for the five (5) Lease Years immediately
preceding such renewal term, provided,
however, that in no event shall the Minimum
Rent for any renewal term be less than the
Minimum Rent for the immediately preceding
expired term. The yearly percentage
adjustment for increases in the Consumer
Price Index shall not exceed five percent
(5%) in any Lease Year, provided that such
ceiling shall not apply if Wild Oats has
sublet the Premises or assigned the Lease
pursuant to Article XII hereof.
(ii) Additional Land. In the event that Tenant has
not constructed the Expansion Space or is not
then operating its business therein, and is
thus not paying Percentage Rent with respect
to sales made by Tenant on the Additional
Land, then the Minimum Rent applicable to the
Additional Land during any renewal term shall
be the Minimum Rent specified in Subsection
(f)(ii) immediately above, increased to
reflect increases in the Consumer Price Index
for the period from the effective date of
this Amendment through the last day of the
immediately preceding expired term or
extension. The yearly percentage adjustment
for increases in the Consumer Price Index
shall not exceed five percent (5%) in any
Lease Year."
7. Section 3.02 of the Lease is deleted in its entirety and the
following provision is substituted therefor:
"Section 3.02. Lease Year. As used herein, the term "Lease
Year" shall mean the twelve (12) month period beginning on the
effective date hereof, and each consecutive twelve (12)
calendar month period thereafter."
8. Section 3.03 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety
and the following provision is substituted therefor:
-4-
<PAGE> 5
"Section 3.03. Cost of Living Increases; CPI Adjustment.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.01 hereof, and
subject to the yearly limitation stated therein, at the
beginning of every five (5) year renewal term applicable to
the Original Premises and/or the Additional Land, the Minimum
Rent provided in Section 3.01(f) shall be adjusted to reflect
any increase in the consumer price index ("Consumer Price
Index") as hereinafter provided. Each renewal period following
the initial terms specified in Section 2.02 is hereinafter
referred to as an "Adjustment Period". The adjusted Minimum
Rent shall be obtained by multiplying the Minimum Rent
provided for in Section 3.01(f) by a fraction, the numerator
of which is the index number for the first month of each
Adjustment Period hereunder in the column for "All Items"
(unadjusted) in the table entitled "Consumer Price Index For
All Urban Consumers," (Index Base: 1982-1984 = 100) "U.S. City
Average" published monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
of the U.S. Department of Labor in the Monthly Labor Review
(said table herein referred to as the "CPI-U") and the
denominator of which is the CPI-U for the effective date of
this Amendment. The adjusted rental thus obtained shall be the
Minimum Rent applicable during such renewal term.
Tenant shall continue to pay the Minimum Rent in effect for
the expiring term or Adjustment Period until notified by
Landlord of any increase in such Minimum Rent. On the
first day of the calendar month immediately following receipt
of such notification, Tenant shall commence payment of the new
Minimum Rent specified in the notice, and shall also pay the
Landlord, with respect to the months already expired during
such renewal term, the excess of the required monthly rental
specified in the notice over the monthly amounts theretofore
actually paid by Tenant."
9. The first sentence of Section 3.05(a) of the Lease is deleted
in its entirety and the following sentence is substituted therefor:
"In addition to the Minimum Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
for each calendar year during the term of this Lease, as
percentage rent ("Percentage Rent"), a sum equivalent to the
amount, if any, by which the sum of two percent (2%) of
Tenant's Gross Sales (as hereinafter defined) up to
$15,000,000.00 plus one percent (1%) of Tenant's Gross Sales
in excess of $15,000,000.00 for such calendar year exceeds the
annual Minimum Rent for the Original Premises set forth in
Section 3.01 hereof for such calendar year."

10. The first sentence of Section 3.05(c) is deleted and the
following sentence is substituted therefor:
"As used herein, the term "Tenant's Gross Sales" shall mean
the gross proceeds from all sales of merchandise, services and
other receipts whatsoever of all business conducted by Tenant
in or from the Premises, whether sold for cash or on credit,
including, without limitation, redemption of gift and
merchandise certificates, deposits not refunded to purchasers,
orders taken at the Premises, although such orders may be
filled elsewhere, sales through vending machines or other

subtenant occupying the Expansion Space or any portion thereof
in the event that Tenant has elected to construct the
Expansion Space as provided in Section 16.17 hereof, but has
elected to sublet all or a portion thereof in lieu of
operating its business in such space."
11. The following paragraph is added to the end of Section 4.03 of
the Lease:
"Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary,
including, without limitation, this Section 4.03, CAMPR shall
have no obligation to complete the Landlord's Additional Work
or any portion thereof unless and until required by applicable
governmental authorities. Landlord and Tenant agree that
Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever for failing to
complete Landlord's Additional Work prior to the date required
by applicable governmental authorities and Tenant specifically
waives and releases Landlord from any and all liability for
the per diem penalty specified in this Section 4.03. At such
time that applicable governmental authorities require
completion of the Landlord's Additional Work, Landlord agrees
to complete such Landlord's Additional Work at Landlord's sole
expense and in a good and workmanlike manner."

OR OTHER CASUALTY
If the Premises should be damaged or destroyed by
fire, tornado or other casualty, Tenant shall give immediate
written notice thereof to Landlord. Following the receipt of
such notice, Landlord shall, at Landlord's expense, proceed
with reasonable diligence to rebuild and repair the Premises
to substantially the condition in which they existed prior to
such casualty, (excluding stock in trade, furniture, fixtures,
furnishings, carpeting, floor covering, wall coverings, drapes
and equipment and other personal property of Tenant) provided,
however, that Landlord shall not be obligated to expend for
such repair or restoration an amount in excess of the
insurance proceeds recovered by Landlord as a result of such
damage, except if due to Landlord's negligence or intentional
acts, and provided, further, that if the Premises are damaged,
destroyed or rendered untenable for their accustomed use by
fire or other casualty to the extent of more than fifty
percent (50%) of the cost to replace the Premises during the
last two (2) years of the term of this Lease or any extension
thereof, then Landlord shall not have the obligation to
rebuild the Premises unless Tenant first exercises its option
to renew the term for at least another five (5) years. If the
Premises are untenable in whole or in part following such
damage, the rent payable hereunder during the period in which
they are untenable shall be reduced to such extent as shall be
fair and reasonable under all of the circumstances. If
Landlord's rebuilding and repair cannot or will not be
completed within one hundred eighty (180) days of the
occurrence giving rise to such damage, then Tenant may elect
to terminate the Lease effective upon the date of such
occurrence by giving written notice of such election to
Landlord within thirty (30) days of the date of such
occurrence, in which event neither party shall have any
further rights or obligations hereunder following such
termination, except, however, with respect to any claims
accruing or arising hereunder prior to the effective date of
such termination. If said notice is not given and Landlord is
required to repair or restore the Premises as herein provided,
then Tenant shall promptly repair or replace its trade
fixtures, furnishings, furniture, carpeting, wall covering,
floor covering, drapes and equipment and other personal
property necessary for Tenant to conduct
-7-
<PAGE> 8
its business and Tenant shall thereafter promptly reopen for
business.
13. The following paragraph is added to the end of Section 10.02
of the Lease:
"In addition to the foregoing restrictions, Tenant agrees that
neither the Premises nor any portion thereof shall be used for
(i) purposes of a cocktail lounge (provided, however, that
this shall not preclude a cocktail lounge operated in
conjunction and as a part of a restaurant), bar, disco,
bowling alley, pool hall, billiard parlor, skating rink,
roller rink, amusement arcade, adult book store, adult
theater, adult amusement facility, or any facility selling or
displaying pornographic materials or having such displays,
secondhand store, auction house, flea market or any use which
creates a nuisance (hereinafter the "Prohibited Uses") or (ii)
the operation of a drug store or a so called prescription
pharmacy or for any purpose requiring a qualified pharmacist
or other person authorized by law to dispense medicinal drugs,
directly or indirectly, for a fee or a remuneration of any
kind (hereinafter a "Drug Store Operation") provided, however,
that this restriction shall not prohibit or restrict in any
way the sale of medicinal herbs or vitamins from the Premises.
The restrictions against the Prohibited Uses and the
restrictions against a Drug Store Operation on the Premises
shall continue throughout the term of this Lease, provided,
however, that the restrictions against a Drug Store Operation
on the Premises shall terminate sooner if at any time
following three (3) years from the effective date of this
Amendment a Drug Store operation is not conducted on the North
Site (as defined in Section 16.17 hereof) for a period of
twelve (12) consecutive months."
14. Section 11.01 of the Lease is deleted in its entirety and the
following provision is substituted therefor:
"Section 11.01. Alterations and Surrender of Premises. Tenant
shall not make any major alterations in or additions,
including construction of additional buildings on the Land and
the Additional Land, changes or repairs to the Premises except
in accordance with the provisions of Section 16.17 hereof.
Additionally, Tenant may make nonstructural alterations to the
interior of the Premises not exceeding $5,000.00 in cost
without Landlord's prior written consent provided that such
nonstructural, interior alterations are made in accordance
with the remainder of this Section 11.01. Tenant may, at its
-8-
<PAGE> 9
expense, when surrendering the Premises, remove from the
Premises all personal property and trade fixtures installed by
Tenant but no structural components shall be removed and all
damage resulting from removal of any such additions shall be
repaired by Tenant. If Tenant does not remove its trade
fixtures and personal property after request to do so by
Landlord, Landlord may remove the same and Tenant shall pay
the cost of such removal to Landlord upon demand. Tenant
hereby agrees to hold Landlord, its agents and employees
harmless from any and all liabilities of every kind and
description which may arise out of or be connected in any way
with said alterations or additions. Any mechanic's lien filed
against the Premises for work claimed to have been furnished
to Tenant shall be discharged of record by Tenant within ten
(10) days after the filing thereof, at Tenant's expense or,
alternatively, Tenant may elect to provide Landlord with an
acceptable bond from a surety company reasonably acceptable to
Landlord in the amount of one and one-half times the amount of
the lien. All alterations and additions shall comply with all
insurance requirements and with all applicable laws, statutes,
ordinances and regulations. All alterations and additions
shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner and only
good grades of material shall be used. Tenant shall, at the
termination of the Lease, surrender the Premises to Landlord
in as good condition and repair as reasonable and proper use
thereof will permit, loss by ordinary wear and tear excepted."

in the event that Tenant has elected to construct the
Expansion Space as provided in Section 16.17 hereof, but has
elected to sublet all or a portion thereof in lieu of
operating its business in such space, then Tenant shall have
the right to sublet all or any portion of the Expansion Space
not being used by Tenant for the operation of its business to
other third parties for the purposes specified in Section 2.01
hereof."
"Notwithstanding anything in this Article XII to the contrary,

ownership of Agora Properties or its constituent entities is
not changed, except by devise or descent and (ii) in
connection with an offering of stock, either public or
private, in Tenant or any proposed Assignee of this Lease,
provided that Michael Gilliland and Elizabeth Cook retain,
directly or indirectly, an aggregate thirty percent ownership
interest in Tenant or Assignee.
16. The second paragraph of Article XV of the Lease is deleted in
its entirety and the following provision is substituted therefor:
"Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's sole remedy in the
event of a violation by Tenant of its covenants in this
Article XV shall be to collect from Tenant
<PAGE> 10
additional rent, which additional rent Tenant hereby agrees to
pay to Landlord as follows:
(a) In the event that such competing business is a "new
store", i.e., a store which has not been previously operated
as a natural grocery store within ten miles of the Premises,
then Tenant shall pay to Landlord one percent (1%) of all
gross sales over $3,000,000 from all such new stores located
within said ten mile radius of the Premises.
(b) In the event that such competing store is not a "new
store" and Tenant purchases an existing business which has
been previously operated as a natural grocery store, then
Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent two percent
(2%) of gross sales over $6,000,000 from all such other stores
it owns and operates within said ten mile radius of the
Premises.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article XV to the contrary,
Landlord agrees to waive its right to collect such additional
rent from the business presently conducted by Tenant or its
affiliates in St. Michael's Village, Santa Fe, New Mexico
(the "St. Michael's Store") provided that neither Tenant nor
its affiliates expand the size of the St. Michael's Store
(i.e. increase in any way the sales area of the St. Michael's
Store). In the event of such expansion, then Landlord's
conditional waiver of its right to receive a percentage of the
sales of such competing business shall immediately terminate,
and Tenant shall pay thereafter to Landlord one percent (1%)
of all gross sales over $3,000,000 from the St. Michael's
Store."
17. Section 16.17 of the Lease is deleted in its entirety and the
following provision is substituted therefor:
"Section 16.17. Approval of Site Plans; Construction of Site
Improvements; Expansion Space.
(a) Approval of Site Plans. Tenant acknowledges that
Landlord owns and plans to develop certain property
which is immediately north of the Premises, said
Property being more particularly described on Exhibit
"B-1" attached hereto and incorporated herein (the
"North Site"). Landlord and Tenant further
acknowledge that Tenant is leasing the Additional
Land from Landlord for the purposes of acquiring
additional parking adjacent to the existing Building
and for the purpose of allowing
-10-
<PAGE> 11
Tenant to construct additional retail space abutting the
existing Building, should Tenant elect in the future to
construct such additional space (the "Expansion Space").
Attached to this Lease as Exhibit C-1 is a site plan (the
"Preliminary Site Plan") which illustrates the proposed
configuration and site improvements to the North Site and the
Premises (collectively the "Entire Tract") prior to
construction of the Expansion Space. Attached to this Lease
as Exhibit D-1 is a site plan (the "Expansion Plan") which
illustrates the modifications to the Preliminary Site Plan
reflecting construction of the Expansion Space. Landlord and
Tenant hereby approve the Preliminary Site Plan and the
Expansion Plan (approval of the Expansion Plan to control in
the event that either Tenant or Landlord construct the
Expansion Space, as hereafter set forth) and both Landlord and
Tenant agree to cooperate fully with each other and applicable
governmental authorities in effecting the development shown on
the Preliminary Site Plan and the Expansion Plan and agree
that the Entire Tract will be developed in accordance with the
same.
(b) Landlord's Construction of Site Improvements Shown on
Preliminary Site Plan.
(i) Authority to Proceed; Construction Deadlines.
Landlord is hereby authorized to begin construction
of the parking, ingress and egress and other
construction reflected on the Preliminary Site Plan
(hereinafter the "Site Improvements") as such
construction pertains to the Premises (and so much of
the North Site as is necessary for ingress to and
egress from the Premises). It is expressly
understood, however, that Landlord shall have no
obligation to construct any of the Site Improvements
on the North Site (except so much thereof as is
necessary for ingress to and egress from the
Premises) until buildings are constructed on the
North Site. Landlord agrees to submit an application
for building permit and/or any other necessary
submittals for the construction of the Site
Improvements on the Premises to the City of Santa Fe
and/or any other applicable governmental authorities
on or before October 15, 1992, and agrees to commence
construction of the Site Improvements
-11-
<PAGE> 12
within thirty (30) days of receipt of all necessary
governmental approvals and Tenant's alternative
quotes or bids referred to in Section 16.17 (b)(ii)
(or notice from Tenant that it is waiving such
right). Following commencement of construction,
Landlord agrees to diligently pursue such
construction to completion. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, in the event that Landlord
has not commenced construction of the Site
Improvements on the Premises on or before July 31,
1993 (the "Outside Completion Date"), then Tenant may
terminate this Amendment by giving written notice of
such termination to Landlord within fifteen (15) days
of the Outside Completion Date, in which event the
Lease as in effect prior to the execution of this
Amendment shall control and none of the provisions of
this Amendment shall be effective, except for
Paragraphs 11 and 16 of this Amendment, which shall
survive such termination. The Site Improvements on
the Premises shall be deemed completed on the date
(the "Site Improvement Completion Date") upon which
Landlord has completed construction of the Site
Improvements on the Premises (and so much of the
North Site as is necessary for ingress to and egress
from the Premises) in accordance with the plans
submitted to and approved by the City of Santa Fe. The
parties agree to execute a certificate memorializing
the Site Improvement Completion Date. Additionally,
in the event that Landlord (i) has not commenced
construction of the Site Improvements on the Premises
on or before the outside Completion Date, or (ii)
fails to commence construction of the Site
Improvements within sixty (60) days of receipt of all
necessary governmental approvals and Tenant's
alternative quotes or bids referred to in Section
16.17(b)(ii) (or notice from Tenant that it is
waiving such right), then Tenant may proceed to
obtain any necessary approvals and complete
construction of the Site Improvements. Following
completion thereof, Landlord agrees to promptly
reimburse Tenant upon demand for the actual costs in
excess of $50,000 incurred by Tenant (one hundred
fifteen percent (115%) thereof, in the case of
Landlord's failure to commence
-12-
<PAGE> 13
construction under clause (ii) above) in constructing
the Site Improvements.
(ii) Conduct of Construction. Landlord agrees to use all
reasonable efforts to minimize disruption of Tenant's
business as a result of such construction, and agrees
that the existing entrance from St. Francis Drive
shall not be closed until the new entrance from St.
Francis Drive, as reflected on the Preliminary Site
Plan, is completed and open. Prior to commencing
construction of the Site Improvements, Landlord
agrees to provide Tenant with a copy of any bids or
quotes received by Landlord with respect to such
construction. Tenant shall have twenty-one (21) days
following receipt of such information to obtain
alternative quotes or bids from reputable
contractors/suppliers and the parties agree that such
work shall be performed by the lowest responsive,
responsible bidder(s). Landlord shall provide
reasonable proof to Tenant to substantiate actual
costs for the Site Improvements on the Premises.
(c) Tenant's Agreement to Reimburse Landlord for Cost of Site
Improvements on Premises. Following completion of construction
of the Site Improvements on the Premises, Tenant agrees to
reimburse Landlord for the actual costs incurred by Landlord
in constructing the Site Improvements (consisting of design,
topo, survey, dirt work, landscaping, asphalt, concrete,
retaining walls, curb-cuts and deceleration lanes) in an
amount not to exceed $100,000.00. Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord $50,000.00 in cash upon substantial completion of the
Site Improvements. Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.05 of
this Lease to the contrary, and in addition to the Percentage
Rent specified in Section 3.05, Tenant agrees to pay
additional Percentage Rent in the amount of one percent (1%)
of all of Tenant's Gross Sales in excess of $15,000,000.00
(the "Additional Percentage Rent") until such time as Landlord
has been completely reimbursed for the total cost of the Site
Improvements on the Premises in excess of such $50,000.00 cash
payment, up to such $100,000.00 maximum. Additionally, in the
event that Tenant completes construction of the Site
Improvements
-13-
<PAGE> 14
because of Landlord's failure to commence construction and
Landlord has reimbursed Tenant for costs in excess of $50,000,
as specified in Section 16.17 (b) (i) above, then Tenant shall
pay Additional Percentage Rent to Landlord until such time as
Landlord has been completely reimbursed for the total cost of
the Site Improvements on the Premises in excess of $50,000, up
to such $100,000 maximum.
(d) Use of Roadways, Parking Areas, Sidewalks and Entrances Shown
on Preliminary Site Plan and Expansion Plan. Landlord and
Tenant agree that, following completion of construction of the
Site Improvements reflected on the Preliminary Site Plan (and
the Expansion Plan, in the event that Tenant or Landlord
constructs the Expansion Space, as hereinafter set forth) the
roadways, parking areas, sidewalks and entrances shown on the
Preliminary Site Plan (or the Expansion Plan, as applicable)
shall be used in common by Tenant, on the one hand, and
Landlord and any tenants on the North Site, on the other hand,
and their respective customers, employees, agents and
invitees.
(e) Tenant's Construction of Expansion Space. Provided that and
for so long as Tenant is leasing the Additional Land, Tenant
shall have the right to construct the Expansion Space in
accordance with the provisions hereof.
(i) Approvals. Should Tenant elect to construct the
Expansion Space, Tenant shall prepare and submit the
construction plans, drawings and related documents to
Landlord for written approval. Landlord shall either
approve or disapprove in writing any of the items
submitted for approval to Landlord by Tenant within
seven (7) days of Landlord's receipt thereof. Any
disapproval shall be accompanied by a written
explanation setting forth in detail the reasons for
disapproval. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold
approval of such plans and specifications and the
criteria used by Landlord in approving or
disapproving any such item shall be compliance with
applicable land use regulations, quality of general
design and aesthetic compatibility with the remainder
of the Building and the other improvements on the
Entire Tract. Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate
-14-
<PAGE> 15
reasonably with each other in resolving any
objections of the other to such item and/or requested
modifications by the other. Following approval of the
plans and specifications, Tenant will not make any
material modification or alteration without the prior
written consent of Landlord. Landlord and Tenant
agree to communicate and consult informally as
frequently as is necessary to ensure that the formal
submittal of any item pursuant to this Section
16.17(e) can receive prompt and speedy consideration.
If within fourteen (14) days from the date that
Tenant first submits the construction plans, drawings
and related documents to the Landlord for written
approval, Landlord and Tenant have not finally
approved the plans and specifications, then either
Landlord or Tenant may demand that any disputed
matter involving the plans and specifications be
decided by arbitration in accordance with the rules
of the American Arbitration Association then
obtaining. The parties to this Lease acknowledge and
agree that the performance of this Lease will
substantially involve interstate commerce and that,
accordingly, this agreement to arbitrate shall be
specifically enforceable under the Federal
Arbitration Act. Notice of the demand for arbitration
shall be delivered in writing to the other party to
this Lease and filed in writing with the American
Arbitration Association. The parties hereby agree
that Ernest A. Romero shall act as the single
arbitrator. In the event that Ernie Romero is unable
or unwilling to so serve, then one arbitrator shall
be chosen by each of the parties within fifteen (15)
days after the demand for arbitration, and the
remaining arbitrator shall be chosen as a mutual
arbitrator in accordance with the then applicable
rules of the American Arbitration Association. Each
arbitrator chosen hereunder shall be a disinterested
person. The arbitrator(s) shall have no power to
change any of the provisions of this Lease in any
respect, nor shall the arbitrator(s) have the power to
make an award or reformation, and the jurisdiction of
the arbitrator(s) is hereby
-15-
<PAGE> 16
expressly limited accordingly. The arbitration shall
be conducted in Santa Fe, New Mexico in accordance
with the then prevailing rules of the American
Arbitration Association or its successor. Without
limitation on the foregoing, the arbitrators shall
have the right to retain and consult experts and
competent authorities skilled in the matters under
arbitration, but all consultation shall be made at a
hearing with all parties having full right to cross
examine the experts and authorities. All hearings
regarding arbitration shall be held within a period
of time not to exceed sixty (60) days after the
appointment of the arbitrators hereunder. The
arbitrators shall render an award not later than
thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the last
hearing in connection therewith. The decision and
award of the arbitrators shall be in writing, and
counterpart copies shall be delivered to each of the
parties. The award rendered by the arbitrators shall
be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in any
court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with
the Federal Arbitration Act. Unless then otherwise
agreed in writing by the parties to this Lease, no
party shall interrupt its performance under this
Lease, including, but not limited to, the payment of
any monies hereunder, pending the determination and
rendering of any award under the arbitration
proceedings herein provided.

materials prepared or obtained by Tenant with respect
to the construction of the Expansion Space shall be
delivered to Landlord within ten (10) days after
receipt by Tenant.
(iii) Plans and Contracts. The contract between Tenant and
any architect or other design professionals or any
general contractor for the design or construction of
the Expansion Space shall provide, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, for
the assignment thereof to Landlord as security to
Landlord for Tenant's performance of its obligations
under this Lease and Landlord
-16-
<PAGE> 17
shall be furnished with any such contract, together
with the further agreement of the parties thereto,
that if this Lease is terminated due to the Tenant's
default of a type which allows Landlord to terminate
this Lease, Landlord may, at its election, use any
plans and specifications to which Tenant is then
entitled and/or complete performance called for by
Tenant and assert the right of Tenant pursuant to any
such contract, upon the payment of any sums due to
any party thereto. Upon completion of the Expansion

specifications.

expense of constructing the Expansion Space
and any site improvements reflected on the

[1] Governmental Approvals. Landlord
will assist and cooperate with
Tenant in connection with the
reasonable request by Tenant for
tentative or final parcel, tract or

-19-

represents that the Expansion Plan
complies with current City of Santa
Fe minimum parking requirements for
retail space.

Expansion Space, Tenant shall furnish
Landlord with monthly progress reports in a

demonstrating compliance with the
construction requirements of this Lease.
(v) Compliance With Parking Requirements. Tenant may take
all reasonable measures to insure that the parking
ratio for the Premises does not fall below a ratio of
one (1) parking space per two hundred (200) ft.2 of
building area and that none of the tenants or
occupants of the Entire Tract use more than one (1)
parking space per two hundred (200) ft.2 of building
area leased or occupied by such user.
(vi) Ownership of Improvements. All permanent improvements
constructed by Tenant pursuant to this Section
16.17(e) shall be and remain Landlord's property,
shall become part of the Premises and shall not be
removed by Tenant upon termination of this Lease for
any reason.
(f) Landlord's Construction of Expansion Space. In the event that
Tenant does not construct the Expansion Space and at any time
while this Lease is in effect with respect to the Original
Premises fails to exercise its option to extend the term of
this Lease as it applies to the Additional Land, then Landlord
shall have the right to construct the Expansion Space at
Landlord's sole cost and expense. In such event, Landlord
agrees to use all reasonable efforts to minimize disruption of
Tenant's business as a result of Landlord's construction of
the Expansion Space. Construction of the Expansion Space by
Landlord shall be in strict accordance with and within the
building areas reflected on the Expansion Plan. Following

<PAGE> 21
Space shall be under the exclusive control of Landlord and
that the definition of Premises hereunder shall be reduced to
include only the original Building that was the subject of
this Lease and the roadways, parking areas, sidewalks and
entrances located on the Original Premises, as reflected on
the Expansion Plan, subject to the rights of Landlord and any
tenants on the North Site to use such roadways, parking areas,
sidewalks and entrances. In leasing the Expansion Space,
Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord's lease rates, lease
terms and the expected tenant credit rating, which rate, terms
and credit shall be reasonable in the Santa Fe market. If
Tenant desires to lease the Expansion Space, is not in default
under this Lease and Tenant is willing to meet the rate and
terms and can provide the satisfactory credit rating required
by Landlord, Landlord agrees to negotiate with the Tenant for
the lease of the Expansion Space.
(g) Operation of Entire Tract. Should Landlord construct the
Expansion Space, or should Landlord otherwise elect at any
time, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Landlord
shall have the right to treat the Entire Tract as an
integrated shopping center and that Landlord shall have the
option to procure (if applicable) and pay the taxes,
insurance, maintenance and other common area charges
applicable to the Entire Tract. In such event, Tenant agrees
to pay its proportionate share of such taxes, insurance,
maintenance and other common area charges applicable to the
Entire Tract, determined by dividing the total square footage
of the Building located on the Original Premises (herein
agreed to be 14,850 square feet) by the aggregate rentable
space in the Entire Tract, provided, however, that Tenant's
share of such costs for the year in which such election is
made by Landlord shall not exceed Tenant's total costs for
such items for the year preceding such election, wherein
Tenant paid all such costs. Following completion of
construction of the Expansion Space by Landlord, Landlord
shall designate at least 72 parking spaces for Tenant's
exclusive use.

been reimbursed by Tenant as of the closing of such
option purchase, and otherwise on the terms and

completion of the Site Improvements as specified in
Section 16.17 hereof, then Landlord shall have the
right to complete construction of the Site
Improvements and the entire reimbursable portion
thereof shall be added to the purchase price.
(b) Option Period. Tenant may exercise its option at any
time on or before 5:00 o'clock p.m. on April 1, 1993
provided, however, that if Landlord has not sooner
placed a mortgage to secure third party financing on
the Entire Premises, Tenant shall have until 5:00
o'clock p.m. on September 1, 1993 or until the
Walgreen's Store on the North Site is constructed and

the terms of the Offer. If Tenant does not exercise such right
of first refusal, and the terms of the offer are subsequently
revised, then Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of
such revised terms, and Tenant shall have three (3) days
following receipt of such notice to elect to purchase the
Premises (or the Entire Tract, if applicable) on the revised

3.01 The obligations of Purchaser hereunder to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby are subject to the satisfaction of the
following condition which may be waived in whole or in part in writing by
Purchaser at or prior to the Closing):
Within ten (10) days after the date hereof, Seller, at Seller's
sole cost and expense, shall furnish to the Purchaser a Commitment For Title
Insurance (the "Title Commitment"), dated not earlier than the date of this
Contract, issued by Santa Fe Abstract or any other title company in Santa Fe,

Purchaser shall give Seller written notice on or before the expiration of
thirty (30) days after the date hereof that the condition of title as set forth
in the Title Commitment is or is not satisfactory, and in the event Purchaser
states that the condition is not satisfactory, Seller shall promptly undertake

null and void for all purposes and the Escrow Deposit shall be forthwith
returned by the Title Company to Purchaser. Purchaser's failure to give Seller

-6-
<PAGE> 36
ARTICLE IX
BREACH BY PURCHASER
In the event Purchaser should fail to consummate the purchase of the
Property, the conditions to Purchaser's obligations set forth in Article III
having been satisfied and Purchaser being in default and Seller not being in
default hereunder, due to the difficulty of assessing Seller's actual damages
as a result of such breach by Purchaser, Seller shall have the right to receive
the Escrow Deposit from the Title Company, such sum being agreed on as
liquidated damages for the failure of Purchaser to perform the duties,
liabilities and obligations imposed upon it by the terms and provisions of this
Contract, and Seller agrees to accept and take said cash payment as its total,
reasonable damages and relief and as Seller's sole remedy hereunder in such
event.
ARTICLE X
CONDEMNATION
In the event that (i) the whole or a material part of the Property is
taken by condemnation or right of eminent domain prior to Closing, and (ii) in
Purchaser's reasonable determination, the Property is rendered unsuitable for
Purchaser's intended use, at Purchaser's option, this Contract shall terminate
and Purchaser will receive a full refund of the Escrow Deposit.
ARTICLE XI
FOREIGN PERSON FEDERAL TAX REQUIREMENT
If Seller is not a "foreign person," as defined in the Federal Foreign
Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 and the 1984 Tax Reform Act as
amended (the "federal tax law"), then at the Closing Seller shall deliver to
Purchaser a certificate so stating in a form complying with the federal tax
law. If Seller is a "foreign person" or if Seller fails to deliver the
required certificate at the Closing, then in either such event the funding to
Seller at the Closing shall be adjusted to the extent required to comply with
the withholding provisions of the federal tax law; and although the amount
withheld shall still be paid at the Closing by Purchaser, it shall be retained
by a mutually acceptable escrow agent (the reasonable fees of which shall be
paid by Seller at the Closing) for delivery to the Internal Revenue Service
together with the appropriate federal tax law forwarding forms, and with copies
being provided both to Seller and Purchaser. The Title Company is hereby
approved as a mutually acceptable escrow agent in the event that withholding is
warranted in accordance with this paragraph.
