a.               Sublessor/ Sublessor hereby leases/subleases to Sublessor, and Sublessor hereby leases all of the Property described in Exhibit A, which is attached hereto.

b.              Sublessee acknowledges that Sublessor has not agreed to make any improvements to the Property or perform any work to ready the Property for occupancy by Sublessee.

Sublessee accepts the Property “AS IS,” “WHERE-IS” and in its present condition. Sublessor makes and provides absolutely no warranties of fitness for purpose or use and Sublessee agrees to waive any warranties that it may have concerning the Property.

3.          Base Rent

a.               The Base Rent shall be payable in advance on first day of each calendar month June 1, 2006, (Rent Commencement).

b.              This is an absolute triple net lease (“NNN” or “Triple Net”) and, in addition to the Base Rent, the Sublessee shall be responsible for the payment of the following, all

3

of which shall be deemed to be “Additional Rent;” its: (i) 100% CAM Percentage Contribution (as described in paragraph 1 above,); (ii) 100% of real property taxes attributable to the Property; (iii) 100% of the Sublessor’s insurance attributable to the Property; (iv) 100% of the costs to maintain and repair the structural and non structural components of the Property; and, (v) 100% of all base rent, additional rent and other fees and costs associated with the Ground Lease..

c.

i.                Upon execution of this Lease/Sublease by Sublessee, Sublessee shall deposit with Sublessor the Security Deposit. The Security Deposit shall be retained by Sublessor and may be applied by Sublessor, to the extent necessary, to pay and cover any loss, cost, damage or expense, including attorneys’ fees sustained by Sublessor by reason of the failure of Sublessee to comply with any provision, covenant, or agreement of Sublessee contained in this Lease.

The Parties agree that this late fee represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Sublessor will incur, in addition to interest on the money involved, because of the late payment.

These records will be made available to the Sublessee for inspection upon reasonable notice, for a period of two years after the end of any calendar year. In no event shall Sublessee be entitled to review records beyond the preceding two calendar years or to dispute Common Area Expenses that were incurred or charged before such two-year period. Sublessee shall have no right to withhold payment of its Pro Rata Share of Common Area Expenses pending resolution of any dispute over such expenses.

g.              In addition to the Base Rent and the payment of the Sublessee’s CAM Percentage Contribution of the Common Area Expenses, Sublessee shall also pay when due:

i.                Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date, Sublessee shall pay before delinquency all separately metered charges for water, gas, heat, electric power, sewer, telephone, trash removal, and all other services or utilities used in the Property. If any charges for utilities not separately metered and are therefore billed to Sublessor, the amount shall be prorated and Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor upon demand, as Additional Rent, an amount equal to that proportion of the total charges which the number of square feet of the Property bears to the total number of square feet of gross leasable area using such utilities. For utilities or services which are not separately metered, Sublessor may, in lieu of charging on the foregoing basis, charge Sublessee on the basis of Sublessee’s actual or reasonably estimated usage.

iii.

1.             The term “Real Property Taxes” is used in the broadest possible sense and shall include: (1) any taxes, general or special assessment, license fees, business taxes, rental taxes, excise taxes, value added taxes, impositions in lieu of taxes, and levies and charges of every kind: (X) imposed by any governmental entity of any kind against or upon the Retail Portion, or any interest of Sublessor therein, including the right to receive rent or other income therefrom, the business of leasing, or the change in ownership of real property; or, (Y) imposed on the Retail Portion as a charge for any governmental services or improvements such as, but not limited to, fire or police protection, public transportation, street or sidewalk maintenance, or refuse removal; and (2) any imposition enacted by way of substitution for or in addition to all or any of the impositions described in clause (1) above; and (3) the reasonable costs incurred by Sublessor in contesting any such real property taxes or assessments, including fees of attorneys, consultants, accountants, and appraisers.

Real Property Taxes for the first and last Lease Years shall be prorated to coincide with the beginning and end of the Term.

2.             Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor, as Additional Rent, “Sublessee’s Tax Share” (as defined below) of the amount of all Real Property Taxes that accrue during the Term. Commencing on the Commencement Date, and continuing on each subsequent date on which a payment of Minimum Rent is due, Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor an amount equal to 1/12th of Sublessee’s share of the Real Property Taxes which Sublessor estimates will become payable with respect to the current Lease Year.

3.             For purposes of this Lease the “Sublessee’s Tax Share” shall be an amount equal to that proportion of the total Real Property Taxes which the number of square feet of the Property bears to the total number of square feet of gross leasable area assessed under such tax assessment.

d.              Sublessee shall perform or cause to be performed all work hereunder in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as Sublessor may from time to time prescribe with respect thereto, and in such manner so as not to obstruct or interfere with access to the premises of any other tenant or owner of any portion of the Project, the business of any such tenant or owner conducted therein, or any portion of the Common Area. Prior to commencing any work hereunder, Sublessee shall supply to Sublessor evidence that Sublessee’s contractor or contractors have procured such insurance as Sublessor may prescribe in connection with such work.

In the event Sublessee fails to satisfy and discharge any such lien or to deposit security therefore with Sublessor, then Sublessor shall have the right (in addition any other remedies) to expend all sums necessary to contest or compromise and discharge such lien, by bonding or by payment, and Sublessee shall reimburse Sublessor upon demand for all such sums, including attorneys’ fees and costs.

11.        Insurance

a.               Sublessor covenants and agrees to maintain property insurance (Property Insurance) for the Property, in such amounts, from such company, with such deductible as Sublessor deems appropriate, in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, extended coverage and insurance for loss of rent, and boilers. Property Insurance obtained by Sublessor shall name Sublessee as an additional insured party and may, at Sublessor’s option, name any mortgagee as an

11

additional insured party as its interests may appear. Such insurance shall be made part of the Common Area Expenses.

b.              Sublessee covenants and agrees to maintain throughout the Lease Term insurance coverage at least as broad as “ISO Causes of Loss — Special Form Coverage” against risk of direct physical loss or damage (commonly known as “all risk”) for the full replacement cost of Sublessee’s equipment, fixtures, improvements, and personal property in the Property. Sublessee covenants and agrees to maintain throughout the Lease Term a commercial general liability policy, including protection against death, personal injury, and property damage, issued by an insurance company qualified to do business in the state in which the Property is located and with a single limit of not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence. Such policy shall name Sublessor as an additional insured, be primary to any other similar insurance as such additional insureds, and provide that it may not be cancelled or modified without at least thirty (30) days prior notice to Sublessor.

c.               Sublessor covenants and agrees to maintain a commercial general liability policy (Liability Insurance) covering any common area facilities of the Property in such amounts, from such company, with such deductible and on such terms and conditions as Sublessor deems appropriate, in its sole discretion, from time to time. Liability Insurance obtained by Sublessor need not name Sublessee as an additional insured party and may, at Sublessor’s option, name the Mortgagee as an additional insured party.

d.              Sublessee at its expense, shall also maintain any and all insurance coverage required under the Ground Lease as though it were the Ground Lessee therein;

e.               Sublessor and Sublessee waive all right of recovery against the other and its respective officers, partners, members, agents, representatives, and employees for loss or damage to its real and personal property kept in or about the Building or the Project which is capable of being insured against under ISO Causes of Loss — Special Form Coverage, or for loss of business revenue or extra expense arising out of or related to the use and occupancy of the Property. Each party shall, upon obtaining the property damage insurance required by this Lease, notify the insurance carrier that the foregoing waiver is contained in this Lease and use reasonable efforts to obtain an appropriate waiver of subrogation in the policies.

f.               Sublessor and Sublessee shall cooperate with each other in the collection of any insurance proceeds which may be payable in the event of any loss, including execution and delivery of any proof of loss or other action required for such recovery.

g.              If any portion of the Property be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Sublessee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Sublessor (Sublessee’s Notice of Damage).

h.              Upon receipt of Sublessee’s Notice of Damage, Sublessor shall promptly proceed to determine the nature and extent of the damage or destruction and to estimate the time necessary to repair or restore the Property. As soon as reasonably possible, Sublessor shall give written notice to Sublessee stating Sublessor’s estimate of the time necessary to repair or restore the

12

Property (Sublessor’s Notice of Repair Time). If Sublessor reasonably estimates that repair or restoration of the Property cannot be completed within two hundred (200) days from the time of Sublessee’s Notice of Damage, Sublessor and Sublessee shall each have the option to terminate this Lease. If, however, the damage or destruction was caused by the act or omission of Sublessee or Sublessee’s agents, Sublessor shall have the option to terminate this Lease if Sublessor reasonably estimates that the repair or restoration cannot reasonably be completed within two hundred (200) days from the time of Sublessee’s Notice of Damage, but Sublessee shall not have the option to terminate this Lease. Any option granted hereunder shall be exercised by written notice to the other party given within ten (10) days after Sublessor’s Notice of Repair Time. If either Sublessor or Sublessee exercises its option to terminate this Lease, the Lease Term shall expire ten (10) days after the notice by either Sublessor or Sublessee exercising such option to terminate this Lease. Following termination of this Lease under the provisions hereof, Sublessor shall refund to Sublessee such amounts of Rent paid by Sublessee as may be applicable to the period subsequent to the time of Sublessee’s Notice of Damage less the reasonable value of any use or occupation of the Property by Sublessee subsequent to the time of Sublessee’s Notice of Damage.

i.                If the Building shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty to the extent of 33-1/3% or more of the replacement value of the Property, Sublessor may elect not to reconstruct or rebuild the Property. Upon written notice to Sublessee given within twenty (20) days after Sublessor’s Notice of Repair Time, this Lease shall terminate and Sublessor shall refund to Sublessee such amounts of Rent paid by Sublessee for the period after such damage less the reasonable value of any use or occupation of the Property by Sublessee during such period.

j.                If repair and restoration of the Property can be completed within the period specified above, in Sublessor’s reasonable estimation, or if neither Sublessor nor Sublessee terminate this Lease as provided above, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Sublessor shall proceed forthwith to cause the Property (including any improvements constructed by Sublessor but excluding any alterations, improvements„ fixtures and personal property constructed or owned by Sublessee) to be repaired and restored with reasonable diligence and there shall be abatement of Rent proportionate to the extent of the space and period of time that Sublessee is unable to use and enjoy the Property.

k.               The proceeds of any Property Insurance maintained on the Property, other than property insurance maintained by Sublessee on fixtures and personal property of Sublessee, shall be paid to and become the property of Sublessor, subject to any obligation of Sublessor to cause the Property to be repaired and restored and further subject to any rights under any mortgage encumbering the Property to such proceeds. Sublessor’s obligation to repair and restore the Property provided herein is limited to the repair and restoration that can be accomplished with the proceeds of any Property Insurance maintained on the Property. The amount of any such insurance proceeds is subject to any right of any mortgagee to apply such proceeds to its secured debt under its mortgage.

12.        Condemnation.

a.               A “Taking” shall mean the taking of all or any portion of the Property as a result of the exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation for public or quasi-public use

13

or the sale of all or part of the Property under the threat of condemnation. A “Substantial Taking” shall mean a Taking of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the floor area of the Property. An “Insubstantial Taking” shall mean a Taking which does not constitute a Substantial Taking.

b.              If there is a Substantial Taking with respect to the Property, the term of this Lease/Sublease shall expire on the date of vesting of title pursuant to such Taking. Thereafter, the Sublessor shall refund to Sublessee such amounts of Base Rent and Additional Rent theretofore paid by Sublessee as may be applicable to the period subsequent to the time of termination of this Lease.

c.               In the event of an Insubstantial Taking with respect to the Property, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, Sublessor shall proceed forthwith to cause the Property (but excluding any alterations, improvements, fixtures, and personal property constructed or owned by Sublessee), less such Taking, to be restored as near as may be to the original condition thereof and there shall be abatement of Rent proportionate to the extent of the space so taken.

d.              The total award, compensation, damages or consideration received or receivable as a result of a Taking (Award) shall be paid to and be the property of Sublessor, including, without limitation, any part of the Award made as compensation for diminution of the value of this leasehold or the fee of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublessee shall be entitled to a separate award, for the loss of Sublessee’s personal property, diminution in value of the leasehold (if applicable) the loss of Sublessee’s business and profits, and Sublessee’s moving expenses.

13.        Termination and Remedies

a.               In the event that any of the following events shall occur, Sublessee shall be deemed to be in default of Sublessee’s obligations under this Lease (each of the following shall be referred to as a “Default by Sublessee”).

i.                if Sublessee fails to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent, or any other amounts payable by Sublessee within ten (10) days after such rental or other amount is due under the terms of this Lease.

ii.               if Sublessee breaches or fails to comply with any non-monetary agreement, term, covenant or condition in this Lease/ Sublease applicable to Sublessee and/or if Sublessee fails to observe and perform under any term, covenant or condition of the Ground Lease which it is otherwise required to perform under the Lease/Sublease, and Sublessee fails to cure such breach or failure within the earlier of the time for cure permitted under the Ground Lease or thirty (30) days after notice thereof by Sublessor to Sublessee. If such breach or failure to comply cannot be reasonably cured within such 30-day period, Sublessee shall not be deemed to be in default thereof if Sublessee shall in good faith commence to cure such breach or failure to comply within such 30-day period and shall diligently proceed therewith to completion within a period not to exceed sixty (60) days following such notice.

14

iii.              Sublessor shall not be required to give written notice of a non-monetary default more than once in any twelve month period during the Lease Term. Should Sublessee breach any non-monetary term herein more than one time in each twelve month period, then the said subsequent failure to perform under the terms of this Sublease shall be a Default by Sublessee without notice or demand.

iv.             if Sublessee shall leave the Property unoccupied for fifteen (15) consecutive days or shall vacate and abandon the Property.

v.              if Sublessee’s interest under this Sublease or in the Property shall be taken by execution of levy, or by other process of law directed against Sublessee, or shall be subject to any attachment at the instance of any creditor or claimant against Sublessee and said execution of levy or attachment shall not be discharged or disposed of within fifteen (15) days after the levy thereof.

vi.             if Sublessee shall file a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or arrangement under the bankruptcy laws of the United States or under any similar act of any state, or shall voluntarily take advantage of any such law or act by answer or otherwise, or shall be dissolved, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if involuntary proceedings under any such bankruptcy or insolvency law or for the dissolution of Sublessee shall be instituted against Sublessee or a receiver or trustee shall be appointed for the property or for all or substantially all of the property of Sublessee, and such proceedings shall not be dismissed or such receivership or trusteeship vacated within sixty (60) days after such institution or appointment.

b.              Upon the occurrence of any Default by Sublessee, Sublessor shall have the right, at Sublessor’s election, then or any time thereafter, to exercise any one or more of the following remedies:

i.                In the event of a Default by Sublessee, Sublessor may, at Sublessor’s option, but without obligation to do so, and without releasing Sublessee from any obligations under this Sublease, make any payment or take any action as Sublessor may deem necessary or desirable to cure any such Default by Sublessee in such manner and to such extent as Sublessor may deem necessary or desirable. Sublessor may do so without demand on, or written notice to, Sublessee and without giving Sublessee an opportunity to cure such Default by Sublessee. Sublessee covenants and agrees to pay to Sublessor, within ten (10) days after demand, all advances, costs and expenses of Sublessor in connection with the making of any such payment or the taking of any such action including, without limitation: (a) a charge in the amount of five hundred dollars ($500.00) payable to Sublessor to compensate for the administrative overhead attributable to such action; (b) reasonable attorneys’ fees; and, (c) interest as hereinafter provided from the date of payment of any such advances, costs and expenses by Sublessor. Action taken by Sublessor may include commencing, appearing in, defending or otherwise participating in any action or proceeding and paying, purchasing, contesting, or compromising any claim, right, encumbrance, charge, or lien, with respect to the Property which Sublessor, in its discretion, may deem necessary or desirable to protect its interest in the Property and under this Sublease. In the event that the Sublease Term has expired or

15

Sublessee is no longer occupying the Property, Sublessor shall be entitled to take such actions as provided herein without Sublessor being required to provide the notice to Sublessee.

ii.             In the event of a Default by Sublessee, Sublessor may terminate this Sublease, effective at such time as may be specified by written notice to Sublessee, and demand (and, if such demand is refused, recover) possession of the Property from Sublessee. Sublessee shall remain liable to Sublessor for damages in an amount equal to the Base Rent, any amounts due under the Ground Lease and other sums which would have been owing by Sublessee hereunder for the balance of the Sublease Term, had this Sublease not been terminated, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Property by Sublessor subsequent to such termination, after deducting all Sublessor’s expenses in connection with such recovery of possession or reletting. Sublessor shall be entitled to collect and receive such damages from Sublessee on the days on which the Base Rent, Additional Rent and other amounts would have been payable if this Sublease had not been terminated. Alternatively, at the option of Sublessor, Sublessor shall be entitled to recover forthwith from Sublessee, as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty, an aggregate sum which, at the time of such termination of this Sublease, represents the excess, if any, of: (a) the aggregate of the Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums payable by Sublessee that would have accrued for the balance of the Sublease Term, over; (b) the aggregate rental value of the Property for the balance of the Sublease Term, both discounted to present worth at the rate of 8% per annum.

iii.            In the event of a Default by Sublessee, Sublessor may reenter and take possession of the Property, including the real property described in the Ground Lease, or any part thereof, without demand or notice, and repossess the same and expel Sublessee and any party claiming by, under or through Sublessee, and remove the effects of both using such force for such purposes as may be necessary, without being liable for prosecution on account thereof or being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass, and without prejudice to any remedies for arrears of rent or right to bring any proceeding for breach of covenants or conditions. No such reentry or taking possession of the Property by Sublessor shall be construed as an election by Sublessor to terminate this Sublease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Sublessee. No notice from Sublessor hereunder or under a forcible entry and detainer statute or similar law shall constitute an election by Sublessor to terminate this Sublease unless such notice specifically so states. Sublessor reserves the right, following any reentry or reletting, to exercise its right to terminate this Sublease by giving Sublessee such written notice, in which event this Sublease shall terminate as specified in said notice. After recovering possession of the Property, Sublessor may, from time to time, but shall not be obligated to, relet the Property, or any part thereof, for the account of Sublessee, for such term or terms and on such conditions and upon such other terms as Sublessor, in its sole and subjective discretion, may determine. Sublessor may make such repairs, alterations or improvements as Sublessor may consider appropriate to accomplish such reletting, and Sublessee shall reimburse Sublessor upon demand for all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, which Sublessor may incur in connection with such reletting. Sublessor may collect and receive the rents for such reletting but Sublessor shall in no way be responsible for or liable for any failure to relet the Property, or any part thereof, or for any failure to collect any rent due upon such reletting. Notwithstanding Sublessor’s recovery of possession of the Property, Sublessee shall continue to pay on the dates herein specified, the Base Rent, Additional Rent and other amounts which would be payable hereunder if such repossession had not occurred. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this

16

Sublease, Sublessor shall refund to Sublessee any amount, without interest, by which the amounts paid by Sublessee, when added to the net amount, if any, recovered by Sublessor through any reletting of the Property, exceeds the amounts payable by Sublessee under this Sublease. If, in connection with any reletting, the new lease term extends beyond the existing Sublease Term, or the premises covered thereby include other premises not part of the Property, a fair apportionment of the rent received from such reletting and the expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be made in determining the net amount recovered from such reletting.

c.             All costs and expenses incurred by Sublessor in connection with collecting any amounts and damages owing by Sublessee pursuant to the provisions of this Sublease or to enforce any provision of this Sublease, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not any action is commenced by Sublessor, shall be paid by Sublessee to Sublessor upon demand.

d.             Exercise of any of the remedies of Sublessor under this Sublease shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other remedy provided for in this Sublease or otherwise available to Sublessor at law or in equity. All remedies are cumulative.

14.           Property on Termination.

At the expiration of said term or upon any sooner termination thereof, the Sublessee will peaceably and quietly quit and deliver up said leased Property to the Sublessor broom-clean and in as good order and condition, reasonable use and wear excepted, as the same was in as of the date of this Sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sublessee may take from the Property all movable trade fixtures, furniture, fixtures, equipment, refrigeration equipment including all compressors, walk-in, reach-in and other coolers, inventory and the like so long as the Sublessee repairs any damage caused thereby.

Sublessor will obtain all necessary federal, state, and local environmental permits necessary for such remediation or shall provide credible proof from the governmental authority in charge of the same, that such remediation as been satisfied or is otherwise not required.

a.             This Sublease and Sublessee’s interest in the Property shall be junior and subordinate to the Ground Lease and to any mortgage or deed of trust now or hereafter encumbering the Property.

Sublessee shall also, if any mortgagee or deed of trust beneficiary so requires, execute such documents as may be necessary to make this Sublease and Sublessee’s interest in the Property prior and superior to any such mortgage or deed of trust, provided that no such document shall require Sublessee to consent to any material change in this Sublease.

d.              In the event the Sublessee for any reason shall hold over after the expiration of this Sublease, such holding over shall not be deemed to operate as a renewal or extension of this Sublease, but shall only create a tenancy from month to month which may be terminated at will at any time by the Sublessor.

If money or money-equivalent has not be awarded, then the Prevailing Party shall be deemed to be that Party that has prevailed on a majority of the material issues before the court.

21

k.               From time to time the Sublessor may promulgate reasonable rules and regulations concerning the Property. When delivered, the same shall be made part of this Sublease as though set forth in full herein.

l.                The Parties agree that neither has used the services of a real estate or other broker. As a result both Parties are to bear any costs or fees incurred by him or it as a result of entering into this Sublease.

p.              The terms, covenants, conditions, and agreements herein contained, and as may from time to time be amended, shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

Sublessor does not warrant, represent or covenant, expressly or impliedly, that any specific lease or leases now or hereafter in effect between Sublessor and any third parties will be continued in effect for any period of time, or that any other tenant or tenants or owner shall during the Term continue to occupy any space in the Project. Sublessee acknowledges and agrees that, in entering into this Sublease, Sublessee has not relied upon the continued existence or operation of any other tenant or tenants or owner within the Project, whether or not any other lease is in existence or is expected to exist at the time this Sublease is executed.

u.              Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary Sublessee covenants and agrees to observe and perform all of the terms, covenants, and conditions to be performed by Sublessor under the Ground Lease , and further covenants and agrees not to do or suffer or permit anything to be done which would result in a default under or cause the Ground Lease to be terminated.

v               In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the Ground Lease incorporated herein by reference and any of the other terms, conditions, or provisions of this Sublease, such inconsistency,

(i)              if it relates to obligations of or restrictions on Sublessee, will be resolved in favor of that obligation which is more onerous to Sublessee or that restriction which is more restrictive of Sublessee, as the case may be; or

(ii)             if it relates to the rights of or benefits to be conferred on Sublessee, will be

23

resolved in favor of the Sublease.

DONE AS OF THE DATE FIRST FOUND ABOVE.
