Tenant  leases from Landlord upon and subject to  the  terms
and  conditions set forth in this Lease certain real  estate
consisting of approximately 84,358 square feet of  land,  as

not  limited to all of Landlord's rights, if any, to use any
common  areas, parking, access drives and sidewalks  in  any
center  of which the real estate may be a part (the "Land").
The Land is commonly known as 2250 Claremont Avenue, Ashland
("City"), Ashland County, Ohio. The Land, together with  the
restaurant  and other related improvements now or  hereafter
thereon  ("Improvements"), are referred to in this Lease  as
the  "Premises."  The  Premises are leased  subject  to  all
restrictions, covenants, encumbrances and other  matters  of
record on the date of this Lease.

     2.2.  TERM.  The  term  of this  Lease  ("Term")  shall
commence  ("Commencement  Date")  on  the  date  set   forth
opposite the signatures of the parties on the signature page
of  this Lease and, unless extended or earlier terminated as
provided   herein,  shall  expire  ("Expiration  Date")   at
midnight  on  the  last day of the twentieth  (20th)  "Lease
Year"  thereafter. "Lease Year" shall me~ and refer to  that
period  of  twelve  (12)  full consecutive  calendar  months
beginning with the first full calendar month of the Term and
each  subsequent period of twelve (12) consecutive  calendar
months  during the Term, provided that if the Term commences
on  other  than the first day of a calendar month, then  the
initial   fractional  month  of  the  Term  plus  the   next
succeeding twelve (12) full calendar months shall constitute
the first Lease Year of the Term and provided, further, that
if  this  Lease is terminated prior to the Expiration  Date,
the  last Lease Year may contain less than twelve (12)  full
calendar months.

     2.3. EXTENSION OF THE TERM. Provided that this Lease is
in  full  force  and  effect and no  Event  of  Default  has
occurred and is continuing, Tenant shall have the option  to
extend  the  Term for up to four (4) successive  periods  of
five (5) Lease Years each upon all of the provisions of this
Lease, which extension options shall automatically be deemed
exercised two hundred seventy (270) days prior to  the  then
current  Expiration  Date without the  requirement  for  any
further  notice; provided, however, that Tenant  shall  have
the  right  to  tem1inate  this Lease  (and  void  any  such
automatic  extension  and all remaining  extension  options)
effective  as of any then current Expiration Date by  giving
written notice thereof to Landlord not less than two hundred
seventy (270) days before such then current Expiration Date;
and  provided,  further,  that  this  Lease  shall  not   be
automatically extended (and Tenant shall be deemed  to  have
given written notice of non-renewal) if on the date which is
two  hundred  seventy (270) days prior to the  then  current
Expiration  Date  an Event of Default has  occurred  and  is
continuing, and in such event this Lease shall terminate  on
the  then  current Expiration Date. If and  each  time  this
Lease  is  so extended, the word "Term" shall be  deemed  to
include  the five (5) year extension period with respect  to
which the option has been exercised and the term "Expiration
Date"  shall  mean  the  last day  of  such  five  (5)  year
extension period.

     2.4.PREMISES  LEASED " AS-IS". LANDLORD  HEREBY  LEASES
AND  WILL  LEASE AND TENANT TAKES AND WILL TAKE THE PREMISES

at its own expense, may contest Premises Taxes in any manner
permitted by law, in Tenant's name, and, whenever necessary,

manner  that  exposes  Landlord to (i)  criminal  liability,
penalty  or  sanction, (ii) any civil liability, penalty  or
sanction for which Tenant has not made provisions reasonably
acceptable to Landlord, or (iii) defeasance of its  interest

Tenant's  business  at  the  Premises.  Landlord  agrees  to
deliver  to  Tenant copies of any notices Landlord  receives
with  respect to the aforementioned rights. Landlord  agrees
that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred  and
be  continuing, upon request by Tenant (and only  after  all
documentation reasonably required to consummate the relevant
transaction shall have been provided to Landlord),  Landlord
shall  (i)  enter into or modify such easements,  covenants,
waivers, approvals or restrictions for utilities, parking or
other matters as Tenant may desire for the operation of  the
Premises  (collectively, "Easements"), or (ii)  dedicate  or
transfer,  minor  non-essential unimproved portions  of  the
Premises for road, highway or other public purposes  to  the
extent  such  dedications or transfers are  consistent  with
commercially  reasonable development  or  operation  of  the
Premises (the ..Dedications"); provided, that Landlord shall
be  obligated  to  take such action only  if  (A)  any  such
Easements  or Dedications do not adversely affect the  value
of  the Premises (other than to a de minimis extent), do not
unreasonably  render the use of the Premises dependent  upon
any  other property or unreasonably condition the use of the
Premises  upon  the use of any other property,  and  do  not
adversely  affect  (other than to a de minimis  extent)  the
use,  or  visibility  of, or access to,  the  Premises,  (B)
Tenant  advises Landlord of the amount of the consideration,
if  any,  being  paid for such Easements or Dedications  and
that Tenant considers such consideration, if any, to be fair
under the circumstance and that such consideration, if  any,
shall  be  paid  to  Landlord, (C)  Tenant  acknowledges  in
writing that for so long as this Lease is in effect,  Tenant
will perform all obligations, if any, of Landlord under  the
applicable instrument and Tenant will remain obligated under
this  Lease  and  AAG (if the Guaranty is  then  in  effect)
acknowledges in writing that AAG will remain obligated under
the   Guaranty,  in  each  case  in  accordance  with  their
respective  terms,  and  (D) Tenant pays  all  out-of-pocket
costs  and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection  with
said  Easements or Dedications including, without limitation
reasonable attorneys' fees. Subject to the foregoing clauses
(A)  through  (D),  Landlord shall cooperate  with  Tenant's
efforts to enter into any Dedications or Easements.

     8.6.  WARRANTIES, GUARANTIES AND INDEMNITIES.  Landlord
assigns  to Tenant, without recourse or warranty whatsoever,
all  warranties,  guaranties  and  indemnities,  express  or
implied, and similar rights which Landlord may have  against
any  manufacturer, seller (other than the Seller  under  the
Purchase and Sale Agreement from whom Landlord acquired  the
Premises),  engineer, contractor or builder with respect  to
the  Premises, including, but not limited to, any rights and
remedies existing under contract or pursuant to the  Uniform
Commercial  Code  (collectively,  the  "guaranties").   Such
assignment shall remain in effect during the Term.  Landlord
hereby  agrees  to  execute and deliver at Tenant's  expense
such  further documents, including powers of attorney (which
shall  contain indemnity agreements from Tenant to  Landlord
which shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord),
as  Tenant  may reasonably request in order that Tenant  may
have  the  full  benefit  of  the assignment  of  guaranties
effected  or  intended to be effected by this  Section  8.6.
Upon  the  occurrence of a termination  of  this  Lease  the
guaranties shall automatically revert to Landlord.

connection   with   the  operation  of  Tenant's   business,
including, without limitation, all liquor licenses,  at  any
time   located  on  the  Premises  (collectively,  "Tenant's
Property"), shall be and at all times remain the property of
Tenant regardless of whether the same (x) is affixed to  the
Improvements on the Land or the manner in which the same  is
affixed  (unless  permanently affixed) or  (y)  may  now  or
hereafter  be  regarded  as  a fixture  or  as  property  of
Landlord  by operation of law or otherwise, unless, however,

          10. ALTERATIONS: MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

     10.1. Alterations.

          (a)  ALTERATIONS. For purposes of this Lease,  any
physical  improvement addition, enhancement or  change  with
respect to all or any portion of the Premises is referred to
as  an  "Alteration." Tenant or Franchisor  shall  have  the
right  at any time and from time to time during the Term  to
make  or  cause  to  be made any Alteration  in  or  to  the
Premises  (i) without Landlord's consent, if such Alteration
is  performed  in  order  to comply  with  any  of  Tenant's
agreements  with  Franchisor and such  Alteration  does  not
adversely  affect any structural component of  the  Building
and  (ii)  in  the case of any Alteration other  than  those
permitted  under  clause (i) above,  with  Landlord's  prior
consent,  which  consent shall not be unreasonably  withheld
provided  that  such Alteration does not  (A)  diminish  the
value  of  the Premises (including, by way of example  only,
but  without limitation, by diminishing the utility  of  the
Improvements  for  use as a restaurant  or  diminishing  the
useful  life  of the Improvements), except to a  de  minimis
extent, or (B) adversely affect any structural component  of
the  Building. Every Alteration shall be made in  accordance
with  all  applicable  laws,  legal  requirements  and   the
Permitted Encumbrances. If Tenant shall submit a request  to
Landlord  for  Landlord's approval of  an  Alteration  which
requires  Landlord's approval, Landlord  shall  (x)  approve
such  Alteration  proposed by Tenant within twenty-one  (21)
days of receiving Tenant's proposal and request for approval
or  (y)  disapprove  Tenant's proposal  in  writing  with  a
detailed  explanation  of its objections  within  twenty-one
(21)  days  of receiving Tenant's proposal and  request  for
approval.  If  Tenant  submits a proposal  to  Landlord  and
Landlord  disapproves  such proposal within  the  twenty-one
(21)  day  time  period, Tenant may submit another  proposal
with  modifications thereto made in response  to  Landlord's
objections and Landlord shall so approve or disapprove  same
within  seven  (7)  days after submission of  such  modified
proposal.  If  Landlord does not approve or  disapprove  any
proposal  or  modified proposal in writing with  a  detailed
explanation  of  its objections within the applicable  seven
(1)  or  twenty-one (21) day period, Tenant  may  submit  to
Landlord   a   reminder  notice,  which  shall  state   that
Landlord's  failure  to disapprove the  applicable  proposal
within  seven (7) days after receipt of such reminder notice
shall  be  deemed to constitute Landlord's approval thereof.
If  Landlord  does not disapprove such proposal or  modified
proposal   in   writing  with  a  detailed  explanation   of
Landlord's objections to Tenant's modifications within seven
(7) days after receipt of Tenant's reminder notice, Landlord
shall be deemed to have approved the Alterations proposed by
Tenant.

     (b)   In  connection  with  any  Alteration:  (i)   the
Alterations  to be made will be constructed using  materials
of  a  quality  and  workmanship at least  as  good  as  the
original  work; (ii) all such Alterations shall be performed
in  a  good  and workmanlike manner, and shall be  performed
diligently in a commercially reasonable time period  subject
to   force  majeure  in  compliance  with  all  laws,  legal
requirements  and  the terms of all Permitted  Encumbrances;
(iii)  all  work done in connection with any such Alteration
shall  comply in all material respects with all requirements
of  any  insurance policies in effect with  respect  to  the
Premises  (the "Insurance Requirements"); (iv) Tenant  shall
pay  when due all costs and expenses of any such Alteration,
and  shall  discharge all liens filed  against  any  of  the
Premises  arising out of the same; (v) Tenant shall  procure
and  pay for all permits and licenses required in connection
with any such Alteration; (vi) all such Alterations shall be
the  property of Landlord and shall be subject to this Lease
(except   for  any  Alteration  which  constitutes  Tenant's
Property); and (vii) all Alterations shall be made under the
supervision of an architect or engineer selected  by  Tenant
and  in accordance with plans and specifications which shall
be  submitted to Landlord prior .to the commencement of  the
Alterations, provided, however, Landlord shall have no right
to    approve   such   architect,   engineer,    plans    or
specifications,  except as expressly set  forth  in  Section
IO.I(a).


     10.2.  MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR. During the Term,  Tenant
at  its  sole cost and expense, agrees to make all necessary
repairs  and  replacements to the Improvements as  often  as
required to keep and maintain the Premises in good and  safe
condition and repair. Notwithstanding any provision  to  the
contrary, Tenant's obligations under this section shall  not
include making any repair or improvement necessitated by the
act  of  Landlord,  its agents, employees  or  servants.  If
Tenant  shall default in its obligations under this  Section
10.2, Landlord may, after thirty (30) days written notice to
Tenant  and  failure  by  Tenant to  perform  any  necessary
repairs  and  replacements to the Improvements  within  such
thirty (30) day period, enter the Premises to commence  such
repairs  or  replacement. All reasonable  sums  incurred  by
Landlord  in  connection with any such repair or replacement
shall  constitute Additional Rent payable  by  Tenant  under
this  Lease  and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord  within
ten  (10) days of Tenant's receipt of a detailed invoice for
such charges.

            11. CONDEMNATION AND CASUALTY DAMAGE

     11.1.  SUBSTANTIAL TAKING. If all or substantially  all
of  the Premises is taken or appropriated for any public  or
quasi-public use or purpose by any lawful power or authority
by  the exercise of the right of eminent domain or by virtue
of  condemnation or other similar proceedings,  including  a
deed  given  in  lieu  thereof  ("Taking"),  other  than   a
temporary Taking for a period of one (1) year or less,  this
Lease  shall terminate as of the date possession is required
by  the  condemning authority and Rent and all other charges
and  costs payable hereunder shall be adjusted and  paid  to
the effective date of termination.

     11.2.  OTHER  TAKING. (a) If there shall be  a  Taking,
other  than a temporary Taking for a period of one (1)  year
or  less,  of  (i)  a portion of the Building,  (ii)  twenty
percent  (20%) or more of the parking area of the  Premises,
or  (iii)  any  material  part  of  a  driveway  or  roadway
necessary  for  access  to  the Premises,  and  in  Tenant's
reasonable  judgment such Taking under clauses  (i),(ii)  or
(iii),  would render the Premises (or the remainder thereof)
unsuitable  for  the  conduct of Tenant's  business,  Tenant
shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the  date
possession is required by the condemning authority by giving
notice  to  that effect to Landlord within sixty  (60)  days
after  notice  to  Tenant  of the date  such  possession  is
required.  In  such  event, Rent and all other  charges  and
costs  payable hereunder shall be adjusted and paid  to  the
effective date of termination.

     (b)  If only a portion of the Premises is subject to  a
Taking  and Tenant is not entitled to or shall not  exercise
its  right  to  terminate  this Lease  pursuant  to  Section
11.2(a)  this Lease shall continue in full force and effect,
and there shall be no abatement or reduction of Rent payable
hereunder.  Tenant  shall  make  any  and  all  repairs  and
restorations to the remainder of the Premises to the  extent
necessary  to render the same a complete architectural  unit
suitable for Tenant's use.

     11.3.  COMPENSATION. (a) In the event that all  or  any
portion of the Premises is subject to a Taking, Landlord and
Tenant  shall  cooperate  to  maximize  the  amount  of  the
recovery from the condemning authority. If the recovery from
the  condemning authority is paid into a common fund or paid
only  to  Landlord,  such recovery  shall  be  allocated  as
follows  and in the following priority: (i) so  long  as  no
Event  of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,  to
Tenant  for  the  cost of any repairs required  pursuant  to
Section  11.2(b),  subject, however, to  the  provisions  of
Section  11.3(b)  hereof;  (ii) to  Landlord,  that  portion
allocable  to  Land which is taken; (iii) to Landlord,  that
portion  allocable to Improvements which are taken; (iv)  to
Tenant,  that  portion  allocable to  Tenant's  Property  or
Tenant's  relocation  and  moving  expenses;  and   (v)   to
Landlord,  the  balance. Notwithstanding the foregoing,  all
proceeds from a temporary Taking shall be (A) paid to Tenant
if  this Lease is not terminated and (B) equitably allocated
between Landlord and Tenant as of the date of termination if
this  Lease  is terminated. The provisions of  this  section
shall  survive  any  termination of this Lease  pursuant  to
Section 11.1 or 11.2(a).

     (b)  If  the proceeds from a Taking, and the  estimated
costs  of  repairs  to be performed by  Tenant  pursuant  to
Section  11.2(b),  exceeds $125,000.00, then  such  proceeds
shall be held by Landlord or Landlord's Lender, and Landlord
shall cause the proceeds to be paid out from time to time to
Tenant  as  the  work progresses, subject  to  each  of  the
following conditions:

          (i)  Each request for payment shall be made on not
     less  than  ten  (10) business days'  prior  notice  to
     Landlord,  and  shall be accompanied  by  an  officer's
     certificate stating (A) that no Event of Default exists
     under  this  Lease  and (B) that the sum  requested  is
     validly  required to reimburse Tenant for  payments  by
     Tenant  to complete the repair work, or is validly  due
     to   the   contractor,   subcontractors,   materialmen,
     laborers,   engineers,  architects  or  other   persons
     rendering services or materials for the work (giving  a
     brief  description of such services and materials).  At
     the  time  of  disbursement, no Event of Default  shall
     have occurred and be continuing.
          (ii) Each request for payment shall be accompanied
     by  waivers of lien reasonably satisfactory to Landlord
     covering  that  part of the work for which  payment  or
     reimbursement has been made as of the date shown on the
     current request.

          (iii)  Landlord shall release to Tenant the amount
     requested by Tenant, subject to the amount retained  by
     Landlord  in  accordance with  subsection  (iv)  below,
     within  ten (10) business days of Tenant's satisfaction
     of  the  items  set forth in subsection  (i)  and  (ii)
     above.  Disbursements shall be made not more frequently
     than once every thirty (30) days.

          (iv)  Except  and  to the extent  that  Tenant  is
     already  retaining a like amount from its  contractors,
     Landlord  (or Landlord Lender) may retain  10%  of  the
     proceeds as retainage until the repairs and restoration
     are substantially complete.

          (v)  Proceeds held by Landlord in accordance  with
     this  Section  shall  be held in  an  interest  bearing
     account and any interest earned on the proceed shall be
     a  part  of  the  proceeds, and shall be  disbursed  in
     accordance  with  this Lease Landlord  shall  take  any
     interest   earned   into  account   for   purposes   of
     determining its federal income tax liability,  if  any,
     and shall pay any income taxes thereon.



          11.4. CASUALTY DAMAGE.

     (a)  If  the  Improvements or any portion  thereof  are
damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty ("Casualty"),
and  this  Lease  is not terminated pursuant  to  subsection
11.4(b) below, Tenant shall, promptly and diligently  repair
such  damage  and  restore  the Improvements  as  nearly  as
possible  to  the  condition  which  existed  prior  to  the
occurrence of such Casualty or to any comparable or improved
condition  consistent  with Tenant's or  Franchisor's  then-
current  store  design and this Lease shall remain  in  full
force  and  effect.  Tenant  promptly  shall  commence   and
diligently pursue to completion the repair, restoration  and
replacement  of  the damaged or destroyed Improvements,  due
allowance  being  made for time needed  to  obtain  permits,
adjust insurance and for delay on account of events of force
majeure.  Such repair, restoration and replacement shall  be
performed  in  accordance with all  applicable  laws,  legal
requirements  and Permitted Encumbrances.  Tenant  shall  be
responsible  for the repair or replacement of  any  Tenant's
Property damaged by such Casualty. As used in this Lease the
word  "destroyed" shall mean completely destroyed above  the
foundation,  or  so  substantially  damaged  as  to  require
demolition  to  the  foundation, or such other  severity  of
damage  as  may  be  established or  imposed  by  applicable
governmental  law  or ordinance which,  if  suffered,  would
constitute  total  destruction or require demolition  before
repair or reconstruction may commence.

     (b)  If  the  Improvements or any  portion  thereof  is
damaged or destroyed (i) during the last two (2) Lease Years
of  the Term (or the Term as then extended) to the extent of
twenty-five  percent (25%) or more of the replacement  value
thereof  (exclusive of the foundation) immediately prior  to
such  Casualty;  or (ii) by a cause or peril  which  is  not
covered  by  the property insurance required to  be  carried
pursuant  to Section 12.1 (b) (excluding any cause or  peril
arising  from  any  act of Tenant or  any  of  its  members,
managers,   officers,  directors,  employees,   contractors,
agents,  representatives, subtenants or assignees) or  other
insurance  which is then customarily being carried  by  a  .
commercially  reasonable  prudent  operator  of  a  facility
similar to the Premises; then Tenant shall have the right to
terminate  this  Lease  by  giving  notice  to  that  effect
("Termination Notice") to Landlord within one hundred twenty
(120)  days after the occurrence of the Casualty,  in  which
event  termination shall be effective as of the  date  of  .
such Casualty if the Building is destroyed and otherwise  as
of  the  date  Tenant  vacates the Premises  following  such
Casualty.

     (c)  If  this  Lease  is terminated  pursuant  to  this
Section  11.4, Rent and all other charges and costs  payable
hereunder  shall be adjusted and paid to the effective  date
of  termination,  and  all proceeds of  any  insurance  with
respect  to  the  Premises (exclusive of Tenant's  Property,
which shall be paid to Tenant) shall be paid to Landlord.

     improvements  (excluding  Tenant's  Property),  in   an
     amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of  the
     replacement  cost thereof, including (i)  ordinance  or
     law coverage including any amounts necessary to replace
     the  undamaged portion of the Building, to  cover  cost
     increases  arising  from changes in building  codes  or
     other  ordinances or laws and to cover costs of  debris
     removal, and (ii) boiler and machinery coverage;

          (c)  Property insurance covering Tenant's Property
     in such amounts as Tenant deems necessary or desirable;

          (d)  A liquor liability policy with limits of  not
     less    than   Five   Million   and   No/100    Dollars

     No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) in the aggregate;

          (e) Workers' compensation and employer's liability
     insurance as required by applicable law;

          (f)   Insurance  against  loss  or   damage   from

     Improvements   and   equipment   located   within   the
     Improvements;

          (g)  If any portion of the improvements is located
     in   an   area  designated  by  the  Federal  Emergency
     Management Association as having special flood and  mud
     slide hazards, flood insurance in the maximum available
     amount; and

          (h)  Loss  of rent insurance in amounts sufficient
     to  compensate  Landlord for all Base Rent,  Additional
     Rent  and other amounts payable hereunder for a  period
     of not less than twelve (12) months, the amount of such
     coverage  to be adjusted annually to reflect  the  Base
     Rent,  Additional Rent and other amounts payable during
     the succeeding twelve (12) month period.


     12.2. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS. All insurance (and renewals
thereof)  required  by  this  Article  shall  be  issued  by
responsible insurance carriers authorized to do business  in
the  State  in  which the Premises is located and  having  a
claims  paying  ability rating of not  less  than  "A-.'  by
Standard & Poor's Rating Services, a division of The McGraw-
Hill  Companies, Inc. Each policy (and any renewal  thereof)
shall  expressly provide that it shall not be  cancelled  or
changed  without  at least thirty (30) days'  prior  written
notice  to  all  parties  insured  or  named  therein.   The
insurance  described  in Sections 12.1  (a)  and  (d)  shall
include Landlord and Landlord's Lender if any, as additional
insureds. The insurance provided under Sections 12.1 (b) (f)
and  (g) shall name Landlord each Landlord Lender as a  loss
payee  with respect to any losses, and any proceeds paid  to
Landlord  thereunder shall be held and disbursed by Landlord
on the same terms as those set forth in Section 11.3 (except
that  proceeds  from losses of less than $125,000  shall  be
paid  to  Tenant  provided  that no  Event  of  Default  has
occurred  and  is continuing). In the event  of  any  Tenant
financing,  the interest of Landlord and Landlord's  Lender,
if  any,  under the property insurance described in Sections
12.1(b) (f) and (g) shall be senior to the interest  of  any
Tenant  Lender.   All  of  the insurance  required  by  this
Article  shall  be  primary  and  noncontributing  with  any
insurance which may be carried by the Landlord, shall afford
coverage for all claims based on any act, omission, event or
condition  which occurs or arises during the policy  period,
and may be obtained by endorsement on blanket policy(ies) of
insurance  carried and maintained by Tenant.  Upon  issuance
and each renewal thereof, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a
certificate thereof and reasonable evidence of paid premium,
failing  which Landlord shall have the right  from  time  to
time  after no less than ten (10) days' notice (except  that
if  any insurance required under Section 12.1 has lapsed, no
prior  notice  shall be necessary) to effect such  insurance
for  no  more  than  one (1) year and all premiums  paid  by
Landlord shall be reimbursed by Tenant upon written  demand.
The  amount  of  insurance  coverage  required  in  Sections
12.1(a) and (d) above each shall be subject to increase from
time  to time (but not more frequently than once every  five
(5)  years)  and upon not less than ninety (90)  days  prior
notice  therefor from Landlord to Tenant; provided that  (y)
such  additional coverage is comparable and  not  more  than
that commonly carried by owners of similar properties in the
metropolitan  vicinity  of  the  Premises,  and   (z)   such
additional  coverage is available at commercially reasonable
rates.  Landlord  shall have no interest  in  any  insurance
proceeds  Tenant receives for Tenant's Property and Landlord
shall  sign all documents which are necessary or appropriate
in  connection with the settlement of any claim or  loss  by
Tenant with respect to Tenant's Property.

     12.3.  MUTUAL WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Tenant  agrees  to
have  all  policies of fire and extended coverage  insurance
now   or  hereafter  carried  by  it  with  respect  to  the

     owners   thereof)   shall  meet  or  exceed   generally
     acceptable commercial standards for like properties;

          (iii)  in  the case of an assignment, the proposed

to  Landlord  a  reminder  notice  stating  that  Landlord's
failure  to  respond within ten (10) days after  receipt  of
such   reminder   notice  shall  be  deemed  to   constitute
Landlord's approval of the transaction in question,  and  if
Landlord  shall  fail to respond or explain its  disapproval
within  ten (10) days after receipt of such reminder notice,
the  transaction which is the subject of Tenant's notice  to

encumbrance,  assignment or transfer of this  Lease  or  any
interest herein. A direct or indirect transfer by AAG of all
or  any  interest  in Tenant shall not  be  deemed  a  sale,
encumbrance,  assignment or transfer of this  Lease  or  any
interest therein; provided, that the transferee is  a  party
to  whom,  if  the  lessee's interest  in  this  Lease  were
transferred to such party, such transfer would constitute  a

     possession  of  the Premises by giving notice  of  such
     election  to  Tenant, in which event (A)  Tenant  shall
     immediately  surrender possession thereof to  Landlord,
     failing which Landlord may re-enter and take possession
     of  the  Premises and expel or remove  Tenant  and  any
     other occupant(s) thereof in accordance with applicable
     law  ("Reentry"), and (B) Tenant shall have no  further
     claim thereon or hereunder;

          (ii) To terminate Tenant's right of possession  of
     the  Premises without terminating this Lease by  giving
     notice  of such election to Tenant, in which event  (A)
     Tenant  shall immediately surrender possession  thereof

     (ii) above and thereafter elect to terminate this Lease
     and  all  of  Tenant's rights in or to the Premises  by
     giving notice of such election to Tenant; or

          (iv) To exercise any other right or remedy now  or
     hereafter existing by law or in equity.

     (b)  If Landlord reenters the Premises under subsection
(a)(ii)  above,  such  reentry or any  action,  in  unlawful
detainer  or otherwise, to obtain possession of the Premises
shall  not  be  deemed  to  be an election  by  Landlord  to
terminate this Lease, or Tenant's liability to pay  rent  or
other charges thereafter accruing, or Tenant's liability for
damages under any provisions hereof, unless Landlord  elects
to  terminate  this Lease by written notice to  that  effect
given  to  Tenant.  Tenant covenants  that  the  service  by
Landlord  of  any  notice pursuant to the unlawful  detainer
statutes  of the State in which the Premises is located  and
the  surrender of possession pursuant to such  notice  shall
not  be  deemed  to be a. termination of this Lease,  unless
Landlord  elects to the contrary by written notice  to  that
effect  given to Tenant at the time of or after the  service
of  any such statutory notice. If Landlord reenters or takes
possession of the Premises as aforesaid, Landlord shall have
the   right,  subject  to  the  provisions  of  this  Lease,

property  located therein and may dispose of  or  place  the

be  obligated to remove and/or dispose of any such  personal
property.

     (c)  If  Landlord elects to reenter the Premises  under
subsection  (a)(ii)  above  and  takes  possession  of   the
Premises, Landlord may, but except to the extent required by
applicable  law or court order, shall not be  obligated  to,
relet  the  Premises for a term, rate and  upon  such  other
provisions  as  Landlord deems appropriate. If  Landlord  so
reenters and takes possession of the Premises, Landlord  may
decorate,  repair  and  alter the  Premises  to  the  extent
Landlord  deems appropriate for purposes of such  reletting.
If  Landlord is unable to so relet the Premises, then Tenant
shall pay to Landlord monthly on the first day of each month
during  the  period  that Tenant's right  to  possession  is
terminated, a sum equal to the Rent due under this Lease for
that  month. If the Premises are relet, Landlord shall apply
the  rents therefrom first to payment of Landlord's expenses
incurred  by reason of Tenant's default, second, to  payment
of  Landlord's  expenses  of  reletting,  including  without
limitation,  brokerage fees and reasonable attorneys'  fees,
and  third,  to payment of Rent due from Tenant  under  this
Lease. All sums expended and concessions granted to any  new

term  of  the  ne'vY  lease and Tenant's liability  therefor
shall  be  limited  to  that  portion  attributable  to  the
unexpired term of this Lease. If the sums received from such
reletting  are insufficient to satisfy the payment  of  Rent
due from Tenant under this Lease for any month, Tenant shall
remain liable for the deficiency. If the sums received  from
such reletting exceed the Rent otherwise due from Tenant for
any  month, Tenant shall have no rights thereto except  that
such   excess   amounts  shall  be  applied   against   Rent
subsequently  due  under this Lease. No  such  reletting  by
Landlord  shall  be considered to be (A) for Landlord's  own
account unless and until Landlord notifies Tenant that  this
Lease has been terminated, and (B) an acceptance of Tenant's
surrender  of  the  Premises unless and  until  Landlord  so
notifies Tenant

     (d)  In  the event of any termination of this Lease  or
repossession of any of the Premises after the occurrence  of
an Event of Default, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Base Rent,
Additional  Rent and all other sums required to be  paid  by
Tenant  to  and  including the date of such  termination  or
repossession and, thereafter, Tenant shall, until the end of
what  would  have  been  the Term in  the  absence  of  such
termination or repossession, and whether or not any  of  the
Premises  shall have been relet, be liable to  Landlord  for
and  shall pay to Landlord as liquidated and agreed  current
damages:  (i) Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other  sums
which  would  be payable under this Lease by Tenant  in  the
absence  of such termination or repossession, less (ii)  the
net  proceeds, if any, of any reletting pursuant to  Section
15.2(c),   after  deducting  from  such  proceeds   all   of
Landlord's  reasonable expenses in connection with  such  re
letting   (including  without  limitation,  all   reasonable
repossession costs,. brokerage commissions, legal  expenses,
attorneys'  fees,  costs  of  Alteration  and  expenses   of
preparation for reletting). Tenant hereby agrees to  be  and
remain  liable  for  all  sums aforesaid  and  Landlord  may
recover  such damages from Tenant and institute and maintain
successive  actions or legal proceedings against Tenant  for
the recovery of such damages. Nothing herein contained shall
be  deemed to require Landlord to wait to begin such  action
or  other  legal proceedings until the date  when  the  Term
would have expired had there been no such Event of Default.

     (e)  At  any time after such termination of this  Lease
pursuant  to Section 15.2(a)(i) or pursuant to law,  whether
or  not  Landlord  shall have recovered  any  amounts  under
Section  15.2(c) or 15.2(d), Landlord, at its option,  shall
be  entitled to recover from Tenant and Tenant shall pay  to
Landlord, on demand, as and for liquidated and agreed  final
damages  for Tenant's default, (i) the amount by  which  the
Base Rent and all Additional Rent reserved hereunder for the
unexpired portion of the Term demised herein as if the Lease
had not expired or been terminated exceeds the then fair and
reasonable rental value of the Premises for the same period,
discounted to present worth at the prime rate (as defined in
Section   24.6),   minus   any  such  monthly   deficiencies
previously recovered from Tenant for such unexpired  portion
of  the Term demised herein under Section 15.2(c), plus (ii)
all  reasonable  legal  fees and other  costs  and  expenses
incurred  by Landlord as a result of Tenant's default  under
this  Lease  and  the  exercise of any rights  and  remedies
hereunder.

     (f)  If  any  statute  or  rule  of  law  governing   a
proceeding  in which such liquidated final damages  provided
for  in Section 15.2(e) are to be proved shall validly limit
the  amount thereof to an amount less than the amount  above
agreed  upon,  Landlord  shall be entitled  to  the  maximum
amount allowable under such statute or rule of law.

     (g)  Mention  in  this Lease of any  particular  remedy
shall not preclude Landlord from any other remedy at law  or
in  equity. No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to
Landlord  in this Lease is intended to be exclusive  of  any
other  right or remedy; and each and every right and  remedy
shall  be  cumulative and in addition to any other right  or
remedy  contained  in  this Lease. No delay  or  failure  by
Landlord  or Tenant to enforce its rights under  this  Lease
shall   be   construed   as   a  waiver,   modification   or
relinquishment  thereof.  Tenant  waives   any   rights   of
redemption  granted  by any laws if  Tenant  is  evicted  or
dispossessed,  or  if  Landlord obtains  possession  of  the
Premises by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of  the
terms of this Lease.

     (a)  Landlord  agrees to send a copy of any  notice  of
default  required or permitted to be given to  Tenant  under
this  Lease simultaneously to Franchisor at the last address
for  Franchisor  furnished  to  Landlord  by  Franchisor  in
writing;  provided,  that the failure to  send  such  notice
shall not limit Tenant's default or Landlord's remedies with
respect thereto, or make Landlord liable for any damages. If
Franchisor  has  received  timely notice  of  such  default,
provided,  that  the failure to send such notice  shall  not
limit  Tenant's default or Landlord's remedies with  respect
thereto  or  impose  any liability upon Landlord  therefor),
Landlord agrees and consents to the curing of any default of
Tenant  hereunder by Franchisor, provided that such cure  is
made by Franchisor within the time set forth in Section 15.l
for  Tenant's  cure provided that Franchisor shall  have  an
additional  fifteen  (15)  days  to  cure  a  default  under
Sections  15.1 (i) and (ii), so long as Franchisor  notifies
Landlord within the cure periods set forth in such. Sections
that  Franchisor  will  cure such defaults).  If  Franchisor
elects  to  cure  any  Tenant default hereunder,  Franchisor
shall  give  notice  to that effect to Landlord  and  Tenant
simultaneously with such cure.

     (b)  Notwithstanding  anything to the  contrary  stated
herein,  if an Event of Default has occurred (including  the
expiration  of any applicable cure period), Landlord  agrees
to  give notice thereof to Franchisor ("Termination Notice")
and  Landlord  will  not terminate the Lease  (as  permitted
hereunder) on account of such Event of Default for a  period
of thirty (30) days, during which time Franchisor shall have
the  right  to  lease the Premises upon the same  terms  and
conditions as this Lease, such election to be made by notice
to  that  effect  ("Franchisor Notice") from  Franchisor  to
Landlord  prior  to  the  end  of  said  30-day  period.  If
Franchisor  exercises  such right by giving  the  Franchisor
Notice  to Landlord by the time and in the manner set  forth
in  the  immediately preceding sentence, then (i) Franchisor
and  Landlord shall promptly execute and deliver  a  written
instrument to that effect; (ii) Franchisor shall become  the
tenant  under  this  Lease  with  all  of  the  right~   and
obligations  of tenant commencing upon, first  accruing  and
effective  only  from and after the date of  the  Franchisor
Notice; provided, that Tenant shall not dispute such  action
by  Franchisor  and shall acknowledge its approval  of  such
action  by  Franchisor;  (iii)  Franchisor  shall  have   no
liability,  responsibility or obligation to payor  otherwise
cure any default of Tenant existing prior the effective date
of  exercise by Franchisor of its rights in this subsection;
provided,  that  if  Franchisor  has  received  notice  from
Landlord  of  any Event of Default of Tenant under  Sections
15.1  (i)  or  (ii). Franchisor shall pay any Rent  due  and
payable   by  Tenant  accruing  after  the  date  Franchisor
receives  notice  of  any such Event of  Default;  and  (iv)
nothing  contained herein shall restrict, limit,  terminate,
waive  or otherwise affect Landlord's rights against  Tenant
or  any  guarantor  on  account  of  Tenant's  default.   If
Franchisor  fails to exercise such right on  or  before  the
expiration  of  said  thirty (30) day  period  Landlord  may
pursue  any  rights and remedies that it  may  have  against
Tenant  on  account of Tenant's Event of Default  hereunder.
Nothing  contained  in  this  section  shall  be  deemed  to
obligate  Franchisor  to assume this Lease,  to  become  the
tenant hereunder or to take possession of the Premises.

     (c)  In  the  event that Franchisor becomes the  tenant
under  this  Lease pursuant to the provisions of  subsection
(b)  or  an  assignment under Section 13.2 above, Franchisor
shall  have  the  right  at any time thereafter  upon  prior
notice  to,  but without the prior consent of  Landlord,  to
assign  this Lease and all of its right, title and  interest

Franchisor.  In the event of such an assignment,  Franchisor

Tenant  first accruing from and after the effective date  of
said  assignment  provided  that  such  assignee  franchisee

and  tenantable  condition, free  of  debris  and  with  all
"grease  traps"  and  similar devices cleaned  and  in  good
working condition, ordinary wear and tear and, if this Lease

earlier  termination  of this Lease or  the  termination  of
Tenant's  right of possession of the Premises  only,  Tenant
shall  have the right, at its sole cost and expense,  for  a
period  of fifteen ( 15) days thereafter to remove  Tenant's

actual number of days which elapse during such fifteen  (15)
day period until the Tenant's Property, Distinctive Property
and the Financed Personalty, as applicable, are removed from
the  Premises.  If and to the extent that  Tenant  fails  to

the  same from the Premises during such forty five (45)  day
period.  If and to the extent that any such property remains
on  the  Premises  on  the sixtieth (60th)  day  after  such
termination,  the  same shall be deemed  abandoned,  and  at
Landlord's option shall become the property of Landlord  and
may  be  sold  or  disposed of as Land-lord  may  determine;
provided,  however, that Landlord shall not use,  suffer  or
permit  the  use  of  any Distinctive  Property  unless  the
attributes  or  features thereof associated with  Tenant  or

the  Building  caused by or resulting from  the  removal  of
Tenant's   Property,   Distinctive  Property   or   Financed
Personalty shall promptly be repaired at no cost or  expense
to  Landlord  and Tenant shall be liable for such  cost  and
expense  unless such repairs are made by Tenant,  Franchisor
or TE Lender, as the case may be.

              17. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT

     17.1.  SUBORDINATION.  This Lease  and  the  rights  of
Tenant  hereunder are expressly subject and  subordinate  to
the  lien  of  any mortgage or deed of trust constituting  a
lien  on  Landlord's fee interest in the Premises ("Landlord
Mortgage")  and  any  renewals,  extensions,  modifications,
consolidations  and  replacements  thereof,  which  now   or
hereafter affect all or any portion of the Premises  (except
to  the  extent that any such instrument expressly  provides
that this Lease is superior to it); provided that the holder
of  the  Landlord  Mortgage ("Landlord  Lender")  agrees  in
writing  not to disturb Tenant, Tenant's right to possession
and use of the Premises and Tenant's rights under this Lease

Tenant  hereunder. Tenant agrees to execute and  deliver  to
Landlord  and any Landlord Lender at any time and from  time
to  time all such documents reasonably requested by Landlord
or  Landlord's  Lender, which are reasonably  acceptable  to
Tenant  and  Tenant's  Lender, to  confirm  or  effect  such
subordination   including,  without  limitation,   an   SNDA
substantially  in the form attached as Exhibit  E;  provided
that such Landlord Lender agrees to recognize this Lease and
the  rights of Tenant set forth herein for so long as  there
shall  be no Event of Default on behalf of Tenant hereunder.
Notwithstanding any foreclosure or sale under  any  Landlord
Mortgage  (or transfer by deed in lieu thereof), this  Lease
shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its
terms. Landlord and any Landlord Lender shall execute within
ten  (10)  days  after request any documentation  reasonably
required  by  any  TF  Lender or Tenant  Lender,  which  are
reasonably  acceptable to Landlord and any Landlord  Lender,
to   confirm   the  priority  of  such  lender's  interests.
Notwithstanding  the provisions of this  Section  17.1,  the
holder  of  any  Landlord Mortgage to which  this  Lease  is
subject  and subordinate shall have the right, at  its  sole
option, at any time, to subordinate and subject the Landlord
Mortgage, in whole or in part, to this Lease by recording  a
unilateral declaration to such effect. Tenant hereby  agrees
that any Landlord Lender shall not be bound to the terms  of
any material modification or amendment of this Lease entered
into  after the date of such Landlord Mortgage, unless  such
Landlord  Lender has consented to such material modification
or  amendment. Tenant hereby agrees that after the  date  of
such Landlord Mortgage, Tenant shall not pay to Landlord any
installment of Base Rent more than one (I) month in  advance
of  the  due  date  thereof, unless  Landlord  Lender  shall
consent to such prepayment.

     17.2.  ATTORNMENT. In the event of the  foreclosure  of
any  Landlord Mortgage by voluntary agreement or  otherwise,
or  the  commencement  of any judicial action  seeking  such
foreclosure, Tenant will become the tenant of and attorn  to
and   recognize  such  Landlord  Lender  or   purchaser   in
foreclosure  as Tenant's landlord under this  Lease  without
change in the provisions of this Lease. Upon request by such
successor  in interest, Tenant will execute and  deliver  an
instrument confirming such attornment, which will  recognize
this  Lease  and the rights of Tenant set forth  herein  and
shall  provide  that  such successor in  interest  will  not
disturb Tenant in its use of the Premises in accordance with
this  Lease  unless there is an Event of Default  continuing
hereunder  and such successor in interest would be  entitled
to exercise such remedy under Section 15.2 hereof.


                  18. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

     18.1.  ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Within fifteen (15)  days

Term;  the  date to which Rent has been paid; the amount  of
Rent  then being paid; that this Lease is in full force  and
effect  and has not been modified, amended or assigned  (or,
if  modified,  stating the nature of such  modification  and
certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force
and  effect);  that to such party's knowledge there  are  no
defaults  by the other party under this Lease, nor  to  such

company of any defects or inadequacies of the Premises; that
such  party has no options or rights other than as set forth

conclusive  upon the party to whom the request was  directed
that  this  Lease  is  in  full force  and  effect,  without
modification except as may be represented by the  requesting
party  in the draft estoppel presented, that to such party's
knowledge  there are no uncured defaults in  the  requesting
party's  performance, and that all other statements required

at  any  time  and from time to time during  the  Term  with
notice  to, but without the consent or approval of Landlord,
to  grant  a mortgage or other security interest ("Leasehold

Leasehold Mortgage shall be subject to each and all  of  the

(and any Landlord Lender). Upon recordation of the Leasehold
Mortgage  and  for  so  long  thereafter  as  the  Leasehold
Mortgage remains unsatisfied: (i) Landlord agrees to deliver
a  copy of any notice of default given to Tenant under  this
Lease  simultaneously to Tenant Lender at its  last  address
furnished to Landlord in writing; provided, that the failure
to  send  such  notice shall not limit Tenant's  default  or

(other  than such remedies as would prevent the exercise  of
Tenant  Lender's rights under this Section 20.2), or  impose
any  liability upon Landlord for any damages therefrom; (ii)
Landlord agrees that Tenant Lender shall have the right, but
shall  not  be  obligated, to cure  any  default  of  Tenant
hereunder  provided that such cure is made by Tenant  Lender

provided,  that such Tenant Lender shall have an  additional
fifteen  (15) days to cure a default under Sections  15.1(i)
and  15.1(ii),  so  long as Tenant Lender notifies  Landlord

will  cure such defaults); (iii) if Tenant Lender elects  to
cure  any  default  of Tenant hereunder, (A)  Tenant  Lender
shall  give  notice  to that effect to Landlord  and  Tenant
simultaneously with such cure, and (B) Landlord consents  to
and shall accept such cure with the same force and effect as
if  made by Tenant; (iv) Landlord and Tenant each agree  not
to  cancel  or  surrender this Lease (other than  due  to  a
default  by  a  party  which  was  riot  cured  within   the
applicable cure period after notice was given to Tenant  and
Tenant Lender) or amend the provisions of this Lease without
the  prior  written consent of Tenant Lender, which  consent
shall  not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and  (v)  if
Landlord  terminates the Lease due to an  Event  of  Default
which   Tenant  Lender  is  unable  to  cure  (e.g.,  Tenant
bankruptcy), and Tenant Lender elects by written  notice  to
Landlord  within forty-five (45) days thereafter to continue
this  Lease, Landlord agrees to enter into a new lease  with
Tenant Lender on the same terms and conditions as set  forth
in  this  Lease  for  the  balance  of  the  original  Term,
including  any  remaining extension options, provided,  that
the  Tenant Lender shall pay to Landlord at the time of  the
execution and delivery of the new lease all sums which would
at  the time of the execution and delivery of the new  lease
be  due pursuant to this Lease but for such termination, and
shall  agree  in  writing to cure and shall cure  all  other
defaults  of Tenant capable of being cured by Tenant  Lender
then existing under this Lease within a reasonable period of
time  after  entering into such new Lease.  Landlord  agrees
promptly  to  execute and deliver such documents  as  Tenant
Lender   reasonably   may  request  which   are   reasonably
acceptable  to Landlord and any Landlord Lender to  evidence
the  provisions of this Section 20.2, including the Landlord
Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.


                 21. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

("Sale  Notice")  thereof, together  with  a  copy  of  such

first refusal ("Refusal Right") to purchase the Premises  or
the   controlling  interest  therein  or  the   portion   of
Landlord's  ownership interests that is the subject  of  the

thereof.  If  Tenant desires to exercise the Refusal  Right,
Tenant  shall  deliver  written notice  to  that  effect  to
Landlord  within twenty (20) days after receipt of the  Sale
Notice  ("Refusal Period"). If Tenant exercises the  Refusal
Right  by  the  time  and in the manner set  forth  in  this
subsection,  Landlord and Tenant shall  promptly  execute  a
contract   which  includes  the  same  material  terms   and
conditions  as  the Outside Contract ("Sale  Contract")  and
Tenant  shall  deposit  when due any earnest  money  deposit
required  thereunder.  If Tenant does  not  execute  a  Sale
Contract within fifteen (15) days after Tenant's receipt  of
such  Sale  Contract  from Landlord,  signed  on  behalf  of
Landlord,  or  if  Tenant defaults in its obligations  under
such   Sale  Contract,  then  Landlord  shall  be  free   to
consummate  the  sale pursuant to the Outside  Contract  {or
another   contract  on  substantially  similar   terms   and
conditions).

     (b)  If  Tenant does not exercise the Refusal Right  by
the  time  and  in  the manner set forth in  subsection  (a)
above, then (i) the Refusal Right shall remain in full force
and  effect,  but  not  with respect to  the  proposed  sale
pursuant to the Outside Contract, and (ii) Landlord shall be
free   to  consummate  the  sale  pursuant  to  the  Outside
Contract. If within one hundred eighty (180) days after  the
expiration   of  the  Refusal  Period  Landlord   does   not
consummate  the sale pursuant to the Outside  Contract,  the
Refusal Right shall again be applicable, and Landlord  shall
not thereafter sell the Premises or the Landlord's ownership
interests  pursuant  to the Outside Contract  without  first
offering  Tenant the Refusal Right pursuant to this  Section
21.1.

     (c) The rights granted to Tenant under this Section  21
shall  not  survive  the expiration or termination  of  this
Lease.

     (d)  The provisions of this Section 21 shall not  apply
and Tenant shall not have any Refusal Right (i) with respect
to the sale, conveyance, assignment or other transfer (A) to
any  person  controlling, controlled  by,  or  under  common
control  with  Landlord  or any of its  direct  or  indirect
owners,  (B) by gift, descent or devise, or (C) to any  saJe
.<or   conveyance  in  lieu  thereof)  by   foreclosure   or
enforcement of a lien or security interest, or (ii)  at  any
time   that  an  Event  of  Default  has  occurred  and   is
continuing.  Any  conveyance  of  the  Premises  to   Tenant
pursuant to this Section 21 shall be "as-is" with respect to
the physical condition of the Premises.


     (e)  Except as hereinafter provided, Tenant may  assign
the  Refusal Right which arises under this Section  21.1  to
AAG  or an AAG Affiliate (as hereinafter defined) upon  (and
only  upon) satisfaction of all of the conditions set  forth
in  this  Section 21.1 (e); provided, however, that  if  the
Refusal  Right  is  assigned to  AAG  or  an  AAG  Affiliate
pursuant  to  this  Section 21.1 (e),  then  thereafter  the
Refusal  Right  may  not  be  subsequently  assigned  to  or
enforced  by  any  person  or entity  that  is  not  an  AAG
Affiliate.  In order for Tenant to assign the Refusal  Right
pursuant  to  this  Section 21.1 (e), it  must  satisfy  the
following  conditions, and if any such  conditions  are  not
satisfied,  then  any purported assignment  of  the  Refusal
Right  shall  be deemed void and of no force or effect:  (i)
Tenant  must  give Landlord thirty (30) days  prior  written
notice  of its intent to assign the Refusal Right,  together
with a certificate of a responsible officer of AAG that  the
assignee  is an AAG Affiliate and together with the  address
of  such Assignee to which Landlord is required to send  the
Sale  Notice  contemplated by Section 21.1(a)  hereof;  (ii)
Landlord  and Tenant shall enter into an amendment  to  this
Lease  which  deletes  Section  21  from  this  Lease  which
amendment shall be subject to the prior written approval  of
the  Landlord Lender, if any, and of the Tenant  Lender,  if
any; (iii) Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to
any memorandum of lease (or similar instrument) which is  of
record  specifying that the Refusal Right no  longer  exists
under  this  Lease; (iv) Landlord and the  assignee  of  the
Refusal  Right  shall enter into a Right  of  First  Refusal
Agreement which provides that (A) the Refusal Right has been
assigned to AAG (or the applicable AAG Affiliate), (B)  such
Refusal Right shall be on the exact terms and subject to the
same  limitations as set forth in this Section 21.1,  except
that  AAG  (or the applicable AAG Affiliate) shall  have  no
further right to assign the Refusal Right as contemplated by
this  Section 21.1 (e), (C) such Refusal Right shall  expire
at  the end of the Term of this Lease or, if sooner, at such
time as this Lease may otherwise be terminated, and (D)  if,
at  any time that the Tenant under this Lease is not an  AAG
Affiliate, AAG (or the applicable AAG Affiliate which is the
assignee of the Refusal Right) does not exercise the Refusal
Right  with  respect to any proposed sale, then the  Refusal
Right  shall thereafter terminate and be of no further force
and  effect  provided,  that if such proposed  sale  is  not
consummated within one hundred eighty ( 180) days after  the
expiration  of the Refusal Period, the Refusal  Right  shall
not  terminate  as a result of the failure to  exercise  the
Refusal  Right with respect to such proposed sale); and  (v)
AAG shall execute and deliver to Landlord, an instrument, in
form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, acknowledging that
AAG's Guaranty of the Tenant's obligations under this. Lease
shall  remain  in full force and effect notwithstanding  the
assignment  of the Refusal Right and the amendment  of  this
Lease  in connection therewith. As used herein, the  term  "
AAG  Affiliate" means any entity controlling, controlled  by
or   under   common  control  with  AAG  or   its   Members.
Notwithstanding  the foregoing, Tenant may  not  assign  the
Refusal Right at any time (A) after Landlord has delivered a
Sale  Notice under Section 21.1(a) hereof (unless and  until
the  Refusal Right is revived pursuant to Section  21.1  (b)
hereof). or ( B) after an Event of Default has occurred  and
is continuing under this Lease.



        22. TENANT'S RIGHT TO SUBSTITUTE THE PREMISES

          requirements  of  Landlord,  shall  not  show  any

shall  be released from all liability toward Tenant  arising
from  this Lease because of any act, occurrence or  omission
of  Landlord's  successors occurring after the  transfer  of
Landlord's  interest  in  this  Lease,  provided  Landlord's
purchaser  or  assignee expressly assumes Landlord's  duties
and  covenants  under this Lease. Nothing  herein  shall  be
deemed  to  relieve Landlord of any liability for its  acts,
omissions  or obligations occurring or accruing  up  to  and
including the date of such transfer.

     (b)   Anything   contained  herein  to   the   contrary
notwithstanding,  any claim based on or in  respect  of  any
liability  of  Landlord under this Lease shall  be  enforced
only  against Landlord's interest in the Premises and  shall
not be enforced against Landlord individually or personally.

     (c)  Landlord shall have the right to sell,  assign  or
transfer  its  interest in the Premises  without  any  prior
notice  to or consent of Tenant, subject to compliance  with
the provision of Section 21 of this Lease, if applicable.

Lease to other persons or circumstances.

be  considered in default of any of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease on its part to be performed, if  it

governmental laws and regulations riots, insurrections, war,
accidents, casualties, acts of God, acts caused directly  or
indirectly by the other party hereto (or such party's agent,

occupancy  shall be construed to be a renewal of this  Lease
for  a  month-to-month tenancy upon all  of  the  terms  and
conditions  set  forth in this Lease,  except  that,  unless
