A true and correct copy of the Sublease is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by reference. 5.

On February 18, 1998, Head Hunters Salons, Inc., assigned, transferred and conveyed all of its right, title and interest in such premises under the Master Lease to Supercuts, rendering Supercuts the tenant under the Master Lease. A copy of the Assignment is attached hereto as Exhibit "c" and incorporated herein by reference. 7. Pursuant to express authority in the Master Lease, and written consent from the owner of the property, Smith Land & hnprovement Corporation, Supercuts entered into the Sublease with Zeigler. 8. The Sublease incorporates the Master Lease, as Paragraph 5 of the Sublease specifies that an terms and conditions of the Master Lease are incorporated into this Sublease as if fully set forth herein. (Exhibit A, '\[5). 9. Further, Paragraph 6 of the Sublease specifies that Zeigler was to assume all tenant obligations under the Master Lease, stating: "Subtenant shall assume, perform and be responsible for Sublandlord's obligations as Tenant under the Master Lease provisions -2- "a. ~' '; ,- <-.r. --"~ - '. '; '" ' ,~ -'c' ~:'''h.)-",; incorporated herein by Paragraph 5 hereof to the extent that said provisions are applicable to the premises subleased hereunder." (Exhibit A, ~6). 10.

(Exhibit A, ~7(A)). 11. An Event of Default has occurred under the terms of the Master Lease and Sublease as Zeigler has failed, neglected or refused after twenty (20) days written notice "to keep and maintain all portions of the Premises in good order and repair, and in a neat, safe, clean and orderly condition. . . The foregoing sentence shall obligate Tenant to repair, maintain and replace, without limitation. . . plumbing, electrical, sprinkler, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, . . . mechanical systems. . . within the Premises. . . ."

As a result, Zeigler is in default under the terms of the Master Lease and Sublease and remains in default under the terms thereof. 17. The Master Lease, and the Sublease by incorporation, contain confession of judgment and warrant of attorney provisions which empower any attorney of any court of record to appear for and enter judgment in ejectment for possession against Zeigler in favor of Supercuts for any Deliberate Event of Default or uncured Event of Default under the Master Lease.
