ARTICLE I. GRANT AND TERM SECTION 1.01 - PREMISES: Landlord hereby leases to Tenant for the term and upon the covenants hereinafter set forth, (a) a parcel of property in the City of COLUMBUS, County of DELAWARE, and the State of OHIO, containing FOUR AND THREE HUNDRED FIFTY EIGHT THOUSANDS (4.358) acres of land (the "Premises") located adjacent to the shopping center designated as POLARIS FASHION PLACE, or by such other name as Landlord may, from time to time hereafter designate (the "Shopping Center") and (b) the right and easement to use in common with others entrances, roadways, service drives, parking lots and other access areas located in or serving the Shopping Center and/or located in or serving the outparcels adjacent thereto which are owned by Landlord, as more fully set forth in Article V hereof. The Premises are shown on the site plan attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "A", and more particularly described in the legal description attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "B". In the event of any inconsistency between the site plan of the Premises attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and the legal description attached hereto as Exhibit "B", the legal description on Exhibit "B" shall be the authoritative description. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Landlord agrees not to modify the Access Easement Area (as defined in Section 5.02 hereof), without the prior written consent of Tenant, which consent Tenant agrees not to unreasonably withhold or delay. Landlord further agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts not to materially interfere with access to, or visibility of, the Premises from the Shopping Center during the term of this Lease as it develops the 1.617 acre parcel adjacent to the Premises shown on Exhibit A, page 2 hereof (hereinafter known as "Parcel C"). SECTION 1.02 - ENCUMBRANCES AND RESTRICTIONS: This Lease and the Premises are subject to all applicable building restrictions, planning and zoning ordinances, governmental rules and regulations, and all other encumbrances, restrictions and easements affecting the Premises and the terms and provisions of any declarations, reciprocal easement and operating agreements or other restrictions of record affecting the Premises, as well as all matters that can be disclosed by inspection or survey of the Premises. SECTION 1.03 - TERM: The term of this Lease shall be for a period of FIFTEEN (15) Lease Years commencing the earlier of (i) the date on which Tenant shall open for business at all or any part of the Premises, or (ii) the date which is 167 days after this Ground Lease is signed and all contingencies to the commencement of construction have been cleared, whichever occurs first (the "Term Commencement Date"), and expiring midnight on the last day of the month in which the FIFTEENTH (15th) anniversary of the Term Commencement Date occurs, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof (the "Expiration Date"). The term "Lease Year" as used in this Lease shall be defined to mean each successive twelve (12) month period commencing on the Term Commencement Date. If the term commences on a day other than the first day of the month, then the first Lease Year shall be extended for such a fractional month.

The granting of the Option Term shall be null and void should Tenant be in Default upon either the Expiration Date or upon the date of exercise of the Option Term by Tenant. In order to exercise the Option Term, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice of such exercise at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Expiration Date (or the end of the current Option Term if Tenant has so extended the initial term). Failure to so provide said notice shall render all subsequent Option Terms null and void.

(b) The foregoing survey shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, be revised within ninety (90) days following completion of construction of all Improvements by or for Tenant on the Premises and its appurtenances to reflect final as-built conditions within said area, and shall then be recertified to Landlord, Tenant and the Title Company (hereinafter defined) in accordance with the foregoing provisions.

(DSW12 2 Percentage Rent, if any, shall be paid by Tenant to the Landlord within ninety (90) days after the end of each Lease Year. In the event that any Lease Year during the term hereof is less than twelve (12) full calendar months, then, for the purpose of computing the Percentage Rent for any such short Lease Year, the Break Point for such short Lease Year shall be adjusted by multiplying the Break Point otherwise applicable for such Lease Year by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the actual number of days in such short Lease Year, and the denominator of which shall be the number three hundred sixty five (365). Each such payment shall be accompanied by a statement signed by an authorized representative of Tenant setting forth Tenant's Gross Sales for such Lease Year. SECTION 2.03 - GROSS SALES DEFINED: Tenant's "Gross Sales" is defined to mean the total amount, expressed in dollars, of all sales and rentals of merchandise, concessions or services arising out of or payable on account of the business conducted in, on or from the Premises by or on account of Tenant or any subtenant, assignee, licensee or concessionaire of Tenant for cash or credit, including all orders for merchandise taken at or sold from the Premises, and including any fees, such as membership fees. Gross Sales shall exclude the following: (i) proceeds from any sales tax, gross receipts tax or similar tax, by whatever name called, (ii) bona fide transfers of merchandise from the Premises to any other stores or warehouses of Tenant that are not intended to avoid a sale at the Premises, (iii) refunds given to customers for merchandise returned or exchanged, and (iv) sales of Tenant's fixtures and equipment not in the ordinary course of Tenant's business, (v) sums and credits received in the settlement of claims for loss of or damage to merchandise, (vi) receipts from vending machines used for employees only, (vii) sales to Tenant's employees at a discount, not to exceed one percent (1%) of Gross Sales per Lease Year, (viii) bad debts or bad checks when written off the books of Tenant to the extent the same shall not exceed one percent (1%) of Gross Sales per Lease Year, provided, however, if any amounts previously written off are subsequently collected, then such amounts collected shall be included in Gross Sales for the Lease Year in which the same are collected, (ix) delivery charges separately billed to Tenant's customers at no profit to Tenant, and (x) bulk sales of goods in connection with the sale of Tenant's business. SECTION 2.04 - TENANT'S BOOKS AND RECORDS: Tenant shall keep at the Premises or at its principal office within the continental United States, a full and accurate set of books and records adequately showing the amount of Tenant's Gross Sales in each Lease Year. Such books shall be kept in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, shall be retained by Tenant for a period of not less than three (3) years following the end of the Lease Year to which they have reference, and shall include without limitation (i) detailed original records of all sales at, in or from the Premises, (ii) detailed original records of any exclusions or deductions from Gross Sales, (iii) sales tax records and reports, and (iv) all other records, if any, which would normally be examined by an independent accountant pursuant to accepted auditing standards in performing an audit of Tenant's sales. When and as Landlord may reasonably require, Tenant shall also furnish to Landlord any and all statements, information and copies of sales and income tax reports and returns which separately show financial data for the Premises, and other data evidencing Tenant's Gross Sales. Within fifteen (15) days following the end of each calendar month Tenant shall submit to Landlord an unaudited statement of Tenant's Gross Sales for such calendar month. Within sixty (60) days after the close of each Lease Year, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a statement certified by an authorized officer or principal of Tenant setting forth the amount of Tenant's Gross Sales during the preceding Lease Year. All Gross Sales statements to be supplied by Tenant to Landlord shall be in such form and with such detail as Landlord shall reasonably deem necessary. Landlord shall have the right, at any time and from time to time upon at least five (5) days prior written notice and not more often than once per Lease Year, to inspect or audit the sales records of Tenant (including the books and records of any concessionaire, subtenant or licensee) at the business office of Tenant or its subtenant. If Tenant's Gross Sales exceed those reported by two percent (2%) or more, Tenant shall pay Landlord's cost of inspection or audit. In the event that Tenant fails to provide such Gross Sales statement(s) within the specified time period(s) after the end of each month and or Lease Year, then, in addition to being in Default, Tenant shall be required to pay Landlord Ten Dollars ($10.00) per late statement for each day that Tenant is delinquent in submitting each statement(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant's failure to provide such Gross Sales statement as set forth above shall not be a Default and the aforesaid late statement fee shall be inapplicable in any Lease Year until Landlord shall have provided Tenant with two (2) written notices of such late statements) and a ten (10) day opportunity to cure. Thereafter, no such late statement notice shall be required for the remainder of that Lease Year, regardless of whether Tenant cures within the aforesaid ten (10) day cure period(s). SECTION 2.05 - PAYMENTS BY TENANT: Throughout the term of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without demand, deductions, set-offs or counterclaims (except as expressly set forth herein), the rent, which is hereby defined as the sum of the Minimum Rent, Percentage Rent, and all Additional Rent, when and as the same shall be due and payable hereunder. Unless otherwise stated, all sums of money or charges payable to Landlord from Tenant by this Lease, other than Minimum Rent and Percentage Rent, are defined as "Additional Rent" and are due thirty (30) days after the rendering of an invoice therefor, without any deductions, set-offs or counterclaims (except as expressly set forth herein), and failure to pay such charges carries the same consequences as Tenant's failure to pay Minimum Rent or Percentage Rent. All payments and charges required to be made by Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall be payable in coin or currency of the United States of America, at the address indicated herein. No payment to or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than that then amount required to be paid hereunder shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest amount of such obligation then due hereunder. No endorsement or statement on any check or other communication accompanying a check for payment of any amounts payable hereunder shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check in payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of any sums owed by Tenant hereunder. (DSW12 3 SECTION 2.06 - SECURITY DEPOSIT: Intentionally Omitted. SECTION 2.07 - LATE CHARGE: In the event any sums required hereunder to be paid are not received by Landlord on or before the date the same are due, then, Tenant shall immediately pay, as Additional Rent, a service charge equal to the greater of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00), or five percent (5%) of the past due sum. In addition, interest shall accrue on all past due sums at an annual rate equal to the greater of one and one-half percent (11/2%) per month, or three percent (3%) in excess of the prime rate of interest announced from time to time by The Chase Manhattan Bank N.A., or its successor institution, but not in excess of the maximum legal rate. Such interest shall also be deemed Additional Rent. Notwithstanding this service and interest charge, Tenant shall be in Default if all payments required to be made by Tenant are not made at or before the times herein stipulated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.07 shall be inapplicable in any Lease Year until Landlord shall have provided Tenant with two (2) written notices of such delinquent payment(s) and a ten (10) day opportunity to cure. Thereafter, no notice shall be required for the remainder of that Lease Year, regardless of whether Tenant cures within the aforesaid ten (10) day cure period(s). ARTICLE III. PREPARATION OF PREMISES SECTION 3.01 - EARLY ENTRY: (a) Commencing on the Effective Date and continuing through the Contingency Date ("Tenant's Early Entry Period"), Tenant and its agents, contractors, engineers and other duly authorized representatives shall have the right to enter upon the Premises and, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to perform such economic, surveying, engineering, topographic, environmental, marketing and other tests, studies and investigations (collectively, "Tenant's Investigations") as Tenant reasonably deems appropriate, provided, all Tenant's Investigations shall be conducted in a manner that minimizes any disruption to the Premises, the Shopping Center, and the activities of Landlord and all of Landlord's tenants and the customers thereof ("Tenant's Early Entry Right"). Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of any environmental reports derived from Tenant's Investigations within five (5) days after receipt of the same. Tenant's Investigations shall not include any intrusive testing, including, without limitation, a Phase II environmental assessment or boring, without submitting to Landlord the proposed scope and nature of the inspections, and obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord to proceed with the same. In the event this Lease is terminated on or before the Contingency Date as provided in Section 1.05 hereof, Tenant shall promptly (i) restore the Premises to substantially the same condition existing as of the date that Tenant or its agents, contractors, engineers and other duly authorized representatives first entered upon the Premises, and (ii) vacate the Premises (including, without limitation, removal from the Premises of all equipment, debris and waste). Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless and indemnify Landlord from and against any and all liens, claims, demands, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, losses or expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees, that may arise as a result of Tenant's Investigations and/or entry on to the Premises by Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors, engineers or other duly authorized representatives during Tenant's Early Entry Period.

The consent by Landlord to any assignment, transfer or subletting to any party shall not be construed as a waiver or release of Tenant under the terms of any covenant or obligation under this Lease, nor shall the collection or acceptance of rent from any such assignee, transferee, subtenant or occupant constitute a waiver or release of Tenant of any covenant or obligation contained in this Lease, nor shall any such assignment, transfer or subletting be construed to relieve Tenant from giving Landlord said thirty (30) days notice or from obtaining the consent in writing of Landlord to any further assignment, transfer or subletting. (c) Intentionally Omitted.

Furthermore, any such Leasehold Mortgage shall be deemed null and void upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. If Tenant fails to cure any default within the time prescribed by this Lease, further notice to that effect shall be given by Landlord to the Leasehold Mortgagee, and the Leasehold Mortgagee shall be allowed such additional time as may be required, within which to cure the default, as set forth in Section 11.02 (b)(ii) and Section 13.04 hereof. So long as the Lender shall be engaged in curing the default within the time period herein provided, no default hereunder shall operate or permit Landlord to terminate this Lease.

(c) In the event that any Leasehold Mortgagee or other person acquires the leasehold estate hereby granted, or in the event of the rejection or other avoidance of the Lease by the Tenant pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or other similar law or other dissolution of the Tenant, and such Leasehold Mortgagee or other persons so request by written notice to Landlord within sixty (60) days after such event, Landlord (i) shall enter into a new Lease of the Premises with such Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee within thirty (30) days after receipt of such request, which new Lease shall be effective as of the date of such acquisition for the remainder of the Term of this Lease, at the same rent and upon the same terms, covenants, conditions and agreements as are herein contained including ownership by such Leasehold Mortgagee or other person of any buildings or other improvements, and (ii) shall further assign by quitclaim assignment all of Landlord's rights in any underlying subleases.

ARTICLE XII. SUBORDINATION AND FINANCING SECTION 12.01 - SUBORDINATION: (a) This Lease and Tenant's tenancy hereunder shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust now or hereafter placed upon the interest of Landlord and the Premises, provided the mortgagee or trustee named in said mortgages or trust deeds shall enter into a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement ("SNDA") in form substantially similar to the Exhibit G SNDA attached hereto whereby such mortgagee or trustee agrees to recognize the Lease of Tenant in the event of foreclosure if Tenant is not in default beyond applicable cure periods. Tenant also agrees that any mortgagee or trustee may elect to have this Lease a prior lien to its mortgage or deed of trust, and in the event of such election, and upon notification by such 18 mortgagee or trustee to Tenant to that effect, this Lease shall be deemed prior in lien to the said mortgage or deed of trust, whether this Lease is dated prior to or subsequent to the date of said mortgage or deed of trust. Tenant agrees to execute and deliver such an SNDA subordinating this Lease to the lien of any present or future mortgage or deed of trust.

Tenant agrees that in the event Landlord is in default under this Lease, any mortgagee or trustee under a deed of trust of Landlord's interest in the Premises shall be permitted (but not required) to enter the Premises for the purpose of correcting or remedying such default, and Tenant agrees to accept performance by such mortgagee or trustee in lieu of performance by Landlord, if and to the extent timely performed as provided in the SNDA.

Any other notice to quit or notice of Landlord's intention to reenter the Premises is hereby expressly waived. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, everything contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord to be done and performed shall cease without prejudice, subject, however, to the right of Landlord to recover from Tenant all rent and any other sums accrued up to the time of termination or recovery of possession by Landlord, whichever is later, plus all other losses or damages to such default, as set forth in Section 13.02. (b) Upon termination of this Lease pursuant to Section, 13.02, Landlord may proceed to recover possession of the Premises under and by virtue of the provisions of the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Premises is located, or by such other proceedings, including reentry and possession, as may be applicable. (c) Should this Lease be terminated before the expiration of the term of this Lease by reason of Default without having paid the full rental for the remainder of such term, then at the time of such Default Tenant shall be liable for all damages sustained by Landlord, including, without limitation, all rent through the remainder of the term of this Lease, including Minimum Rent, Additional Rent, and Percentage Rent (equal to the greater of (i) an annual rate of the average annual Percentage Rent owed by Tenant from the Term Commencement Date through the date of Default, and (ii) the amount calculated pursuant to Section 4.02(b) of this Lease), and reasonable attorneys' fees.

Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to relet the Premises, or in the event that the Premises are relet, for failure to collect the rent under such reletting, and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive the excess, if any, of such net rent collected over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder. In determining Landlord's damages, (aa) all sums which are past due at the time of the award shall include an interest charge, as set forth in Section 2.07 of this Lease, from the due date as set forth herein until the time of the award, (bb) and all sums which would not have accrued at the time of the award but for Tenant's Default or abandonment or vacating of the Premises shall be discounted at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, after first being reduced by the amount of rental loss Tenant proves could have been or could be reasonably avoided, which sum shall also be discounted at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum. The word "award" means a judgment issued or rendered in a proceeding or action to recover damages from Tenant, or at the time of Tenant's voluntary payment of the same.

No such notice shall be required for emergency repairs. (e) Any damage or loss of rent sustained by Landlord may be recovered by Landlord, at Landlord's option, at the time of the reletting, or in separate actions, from time to time, as said damage shall have been made more easily ascertainable by successive reletting, or at Landlord's option in a single proceeding deferred until the expiration of the term of this Lease (in which event Tenant hereby agrees that the cause of action shall not be deemed to have accrued until the date of expiration of said term) or in a single proceeding prior to either the time of reletting or the expiration of the term of this Lease as set forth above. (f) Mention in this Lease of any particular remedy shall not preclude Landlord from any other remedy, in law or in equity unless a limitation of remedies is specifically stated. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this Lease or other use. 20 (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any damages it incurs hereunder as a result of Tenant's default under the terms of this Lease, however, in the event such mitigation of damages involves attempting to relet the Premises and there are other vacancies in the Shopping Center, then Landlord may give preference to reletting those other vacant spaces. SECTION 13.03 - ADDITIONAL REMEDIES AND WAIVERS: The rights and remedies of Landlord set forth herein shall be in addition to any other right and remedy now or hereinafter provided by law and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

SECTION 13.05 - DEFAULT BY LANDLORD: Landlord shall in no event be charged with a default hereunder unless Landlord shall fail to perform or observe any term, condition, covenant or obligation required to be performed or observed by it under this Lease for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Tenant; provided, however, that if the term, condition, covenant or obligation to be performed by Landlord is of such nature that the same cannot reasonably be performed within such thirty (30) day period, such default shall be deemed to have been cured if Landlord commences such performance within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently undertakes to complete the same. Mention in this Lease of any particular remedy shall not preclude Tenant from any other remedy, in law or in equity, unless a limitation of remedies is specifically stated. The rights and remedies of Tenant set forth herein shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies now or hereinafter provided by law, unless a limitation of remedies is specifically stated, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. No action or inaction by Tenant shall constitute a waiver of a Landlord default and no waiver of a Landlord default shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by Tenant. ARTICLE XIV.
