authorizes Landlord to use the funds deposited by him with Landlord under this
Article XIII, Section 13.4 to pay cost of such insurance. Each Insurance
Escrow Payment shall be due and payable at the same time and manner of the
payment of Minimum Guaranteed Rental as provided herein. The amount of the
initial monthly Insurance Escrow Payment will be that amount set out in Article

upon Tenant's proportionate share of the estimated Insurance on the Shopping
Center for the year in question, and the monthly Insurance Escrow Payment is

accurate monthly escrow of Tenant's estimated proportionate share of the
insurance. The Insurance Escrow Payment account of Tenant shall be reconciled

Tenant's actual pro rata share of the insurance on the Shopping Center, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord upon demand the difference. If the total Insurance
Escrow Payments of Tenant are more than Tenant's actual pro rata share of the
taxes on the Shopping Center, Landlord shall retain such excess and credit it
to Tenant's Insurance Escrow Payment account. Tenant's proportionate share of
the cost of Insurance on the Shopping Center shall be computed by multiplying
the cost of insurance by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number
of square feet of floor space in the Demised Premises and the denominator of
which shall be the number of square feet of all stores in the Shopping Center.
Article XIV. Non-Liability for Certain Damages. 14.1 Landlord and
Landlord's agents and employees shall not be liable to Tenant or any other

Demised Premises and the denominator of which shall be the number of square
feet of all [stores] in the Shopping Center. See also Section 29.9 of the
Addendum.
18.3 If Tenant should fail to pay any taxes, assessments, or governmental
charges required to be paid by Tenant hereunder, in addition to any other

percent (10%) per annum from the date of payment by Landlord until repaid by
Tenant.

on Landlord a capital levy or other tax directly on the rents received
therefrom and/or a franchise tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or
based, in whole or in part, upon such rents or the present or any future

building, at its or their sole cost and expense, in its or their own name(s)

thereof as the case may be, which shall be held by Landlord without obligation
for interest until the termination of the proceedings, at which time the
amount(s) deposited shall be applied by Landlord toward the payment of the
items held valid (plus any court costs, interest, penalties and other
liabilities associated with the proceedings), and Tenant's share of any excess
shall ber returned to Tenant. Tenant further agrees to pay to Landlord upon
demand Tenant's share (as among all tenants who participated in the contest) of
all court costs, interest, penalties and other liabilities relating to such
proceedings. Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless the

security devices and no removal or other exercise of dominion by Landlord over
the property of Tenant or others at the Demised Premises shall be deemed
unauthorized or constitute a conversion, Tenant hereby consenting, after any
event of default, to the aforesaid exercise of dominion over Tenant's property
within the Demised Premises. All claims for damages by reason of such re-entry
and/or repossession and/or alteration of locks or other security devices are

judgment obtained in forcible detainer proceedings or other legal proceedings
or without the necessity for any legal proceedings, as Landlord may elect, and

Insurance Escrow Payment and Tax Escrow Payment hereunder for the remaining
portion of the lease term (had such term not been terminated by Landlord prior
to the date of expiration
<PAGE> 16
stated in Article (1), and (2) the then present value of the then fair rental
value of the Demised Premises for such period. The then present value in (1)
and (2) of this Section 19.3 shall be determined by discounting at the rate of
9%.
19.4 In the event that Landlord elects to repossess the Demised Premises
without terminating the lease, then Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay to
Landlord at the address specified for notice to Landlord herein all rental and
other indebtedness accrued to the date of such repossesseion, plus rental
required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord during the remainder of the lease
term until the date of expiration of the term as stated in Article I diminished
by any net sums thereafter received by Landlord through reletting the Demised
Premises during said period (after deducting expenses incurred by Landlord as
provided in Article XIX, Section 19.5 hereof). In no event shall Tenant be
entitled to any excess of any rental obtained by reletting over and above the

other occupant's property; the costs of repairing, altering, remodeling or

enforcing or defending Landlord's rights and/or remedies including reasonable
attorneys' fees.
19.6 (Ommitted)
19.7 If Tenant should fail to make any payment or cure any default
hereunder within the time herein permitted, Landlord, without being under any
obligation to do so and without thereby waiving such default, may make such
payment and/or remedy such other default for the account of Tenant (and enter
the Demised Premises for such purpose), and thereupon Tenant shall be obligated
to, and hereby agrees, to pay Landlord, upon demand, all costs, expenses and
disbursements (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord in
taking such remedial action.
19.8 Upon receipt from Tenant of the sum stated in Article I, Section
1.1(o) above, such sum shall be held by Landlord without interest as security
for the performance by Tenant of Tenant's covenants and obligations under this
lease, it being expressly understood that such deposit is not an advance
payment of rental or a measure of Landlord's damages in case of default by
Tenant. Said deposit shall be held by Landlord without payment of interest, as
security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants
and conditions of this lease by said Tenant to be kept and performed during the
term hereof. If at any time during the term of this lease any of the rental
herein reserved shall be overdue and unpaid, or any other sum payable by Tenant
to Landlord hereunder shall be overdue and unpaid then
<PAGE> 17
Landlord may, at the option of the Landlord (but Landlord shall not be required
to) appropriate and apply any portion of said deposit to the payment of any
such overdue rental or other sum. In the event of the failure of Tenant to
keep and perform any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this lease to be
kept and performed by Tenant, then the Landlord at its option may appropriate
and apply the security deposit, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to
compensate the Landlord for loss or damage sustained or suffered by Landlord
due to such breach on the part of Tenant. Should the security deposit, or any
portion thereor be appropriated and applied by Landlord for the payment of
overdue rental or other sum due and payable to Landlord by Tenant hereunder,
then Tenant shall, upon the written demand of Landlord, forthwith remit to
Landlord a sufficient amount in cash to restore the security deposit to the
original sum deposited, and Tenant's failure to do so within five days after
receipt of such demand shall constitute a default under this lease. Should
Tenant comply with all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this lease and
promptly pay all of the rental herein provided for as it falls due, and all
other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, the security deposit shall
be returned in full to Tenant at the end of the term of this lease, or upon the
earlier termination of this lease.
19.9 In the event of any default by Landlord, Tenant shall have a right to
any action in law or in equity except that Tenant shall have no right to
terminate this Lease. Tenant hereby waives the benefit of any laws granting it
a lien upon the property of the Landlord and/or upon rent dur Landlord, but
prior to any such action Tenant will give Landlord written notice specifying
such default with particularity, and Landlord shall thereupon have thirty days
in which to cure any such default. Unless and until Landlord fails to so cure
any default after such notice. Tenant shall not have any remedy or cause of
action by reason thereof. All obligations of Landlord hereunder will be
construed as covenants, not conditions; and all such obligations will be
binding upon Landlord only during the period of its possession of the Shopping
Center and not hereafter.
The term "Landlord" shall mean only the owner, for the time being of the
Shopping Center, and in the event of transfer by such owner of its interest in
the Shopping Center, such owner shall thereupon be released and discharged from
all covenants and obligations of the Landlord thereafter accruing, but such
covenants and obligations shall be binding during the lease term upon each new
owner for the duration of such owner's ownership.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Landlord shall not have any
personal liability hereunder. In the event of any breach or default by
Landlord in any term or provision of this lease. Tenant agrees to look solely
to the equity or interest then owned by Landlord in the land and improvements
which constitute the Shopping Center; however, in no event, shall any
deficiency judgment or any money judgment of any kind be sought or obtained
against any party Landlord.
19.10 For the purpose of computing the amount of Tenant's liability under
this Article XIX for Percentage Rental after default, the periodic Percentage
Rental for which Tenant shall be liable after termination of Tenant's right to
possession shall be the total of all of the amounts Tenant was obligated to pay
as Percentage Rental during the entire period before
<PAGE> 18
such termination divided by the number of Percentage Rental payment periods in
such entire time, Tenant will also pay a pro rata part of such periodic
Percentage Rental based upon the length of time between the previous payment of
Percentage Rental and the date of termination; and upon such termination Tenant
will be obligated to submit to Landlord a statement accurately showing Gross
Sales made since submission of its last previous statement together with such
additional supporting financial records as Landlord may require. The
provisions of this Article XIX, Section 19.10 relating to Percentage Rental, if
any, payable by Tenant hereunder are included solely for the purpose of
providing for the payment of rental in excess of the Minimum Guaranteed Rental,
and providing for a method whereby such additional rental is to be measured,
ascertained and paid, and shall be cumulative with and not in limitation of all
other remedies provided for Landlord herein.
19.11 In the event that Landlord shall have taken possession of the
Demised Premises pursuant to the authority herein granted, then Landlord shall
have the right to keep in place and use all of the furniture, fixtures and
equipment of the Demised Premises, including that which is owned by or leased
to Tenant at all times prior to any foreclosure thereon by Landlord or
repossession thereof by a lessor thereof or third party having a lien thereon.
Landlord shall also have the right to remove from the Demised Premises (without
the necessity of obtaining a distress warrant, writ of sequestration or other
legal process) all or any portion of such furniture, fixtures, equipment and
other property located thereon and place same in storage at any premises within
the County in which the Demised Premises is located; and in such event, Tenant
shall be liable to Landlord for costs incurred by Landlord in connection with
such removal and storage and shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from
all loss, damage, cost, expanse and liability in connection with such removal
and storage. Landlord shall also have thr right to relinquish possession of
all or any portion of such furniture, fixtures, equipment and other property to
any person ("Claimant") claiming to be entitled to possession thereof who

granting Claimant the right under various circumstances to take possession of
such furniture, fixtures, equipment or other property, and Tenant agrees to
indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all cost, expense, loss, damage and
liability incident to Landlord's relinquishment of possession of all or any
portion of such furniture, fixtures, equipment or other property to Claimant.
The rights of Landlord herein stated shall be in addition to any and all other
rights which Landlord has or may hereafter have at law or in equity; and Tenant
stipulates and agrees that the rights herein granted Landlord are commercially
reasonable.

designated "No Building Area" on Exhibit E, and shall make parking
available in that area. If Landlord does not purchase that property,
Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to try to persuade the owner of

Landlord's disclaimer of any right or power to affect that owner's conduct.

the Shopping Center whose leases antedate this lease will not use part or
all of their premises for uses that are proscribed by this Section 29.15;
however, Landlord will not permit any such use if it violates any of those
Leases, and Landlord will not expand the permitted uses under such leases
in violation of this prohibition. Landlord and Tenant agree that this
Section 29.15 prohibits Landlord from leasing space in the Shopping Center
to any future tenants or expanding permitted uses for existing tenants for
the primary business purpose of a specialty food store, a grocery store, a
vitamin and supplement store (or either of them), or a natural cosmetics
and natural body care

cause prohibitions such as the ones in this paragraph to be imposed in that
area. Tenant acknowledges Landlord's disclaimer of any right or power to
affect that owner's conduct.

shall designate as a "Loading Zone" the area designated on Exhibit A. The

purpose. Tenant's right to use the Loading Zone shall terminate if a third
party prevails in a legal action protesting Tenant's use of the Loading
Zone.
29.18 Option to Renew.
(a) Option Period. So long as Tenant is not in default (which is
not cured within aplicable cure periods) under this lease, either at the
time of exercise or at the time the extended term commences, Tenant shall
have the option to extend the term of this lease for three additional
periods of five years each (each an "option period") on the same terms,
covenants, and conditions of this lease (including percentage rent), except
that the Minimum Guaranteed Rental per month during the option period shall
be determined pursuant to subparagraph (b), below. Tenant whall exercise

rental value of the Demised Premises as definced in subparagraph (b)(3),
below, for the first year of each option period. The Minimum Guaranteed

lease by stating the initial Minimum Guaranteed Rental per month for the
option period.
(2) If they are unable to agree on the initial Minimum
Guaranteed Rental per month for the option period within 15 days, then the
initial Minimum Guaranteed Rental
<PAGE> 31
per month for the option period shall be the then-fair market rental value
of the Demised Premises, as determined in accordance with subparagraph
(b)(3), (b)(4), and (b)(5) below.
(3) The "then-fair market rental value of the Demised
Premises" means what a landlord under no compulsion to lease the Demised
Premises and a tenant under no compulsion to lease the Demised Premises
would determine as rents for the option period, as of the commencement of
the option period, taking into consideration the uses permitted under this
lease, the quality, size, design, and location of the Demised Premises, and
the rent for comparable buildings located in the vicinity of the Denver,
Colorado, metropolitan area. The then-fair market rental value of the
Demised Premises and the Minimum Guaranteed Rental per month in the option
period shall not be less than that provided during the last year of the
previous term.
(4) Within seven days after the expiration of the 15-day
period set forth in subparagraph (b)(2), above, Landlord and Tenant shall
each appoint a real estate appraiser with at least five years' full-time
commercial appraisal experience in the area in which the Demised Premises
are located to appraise the then-fair market rental value of the Demised
Premises. If either Landlord or Tenant does not appoint an appraiser
within ten days after the other has given notice of the name of its
appraiser, the single appraiser appointed has given notice of the name of
its appriaser, the single appraiser appointed shall be the sole appraiser
and shall set the then-fair market rental value of the Demised Premises.
If two appraisers are appointed pursuant to this paragraph, they shall meet
promptly and attempt to set the then-fair market rental value of the
Demised Premises. If they are unable to agree within 30 days after the
second appraiser has been appointed, they shall attempt to elect a third
appraiser meeting the qualifications stated in this paragraph within ten
days after the last day of the two appraisers are given to set the
then-fair market rental value for the Demised Premises. If they are unable
to agree on the third appraiser, either Landlord or Tenant, by giving ten
days' prior notice to the other, can apply to the then-presiding judge of
the Arapahoe County Court for the selection of a third appraiser who meets
the qualifications stated in this paragraph. Landlord and Tenant shall
bear one-half of the cost of appointing the third appraiser and of paying
the third appraiser's fee. The third appraiser, however selected, must be
a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for either Landlord
or Tenant.
(5) Within 30 days after the selection of the third appraiser,
a majority of the appraisers shall set the then-fair market rental value of
the Demised Premises. If a majority of the appraisers are unable to set
the then-fair market rental value of the Demised Premises within 30 days
after selection of the third appraiser, the three appraisals shall be
averaged and the average shall be the then-fair market rental value of the
Demised Premises.
