Leasing Covenant Loopholes

Camilla Titterington

Protecting the success of its business is of prime concern to any retailer client in the course of shopping center lease negotiations. A protection commonly found in leases is an exclusive use right granting a tenant either the exclusive right to sell a particular product in a center or the exclusive right to operate a particular business. An exclusive right in a lease is violated any time an occupant of the shopping center fails to comply with its restrictive terms. As such, it places a burden on the landlord to administer and police a tenant's exclusive throughout the term of the lease. Landlords have, therefore, started to move away from granting exclusive rights to giving leasing covenants ' a provision intended to give a retailer the protection for its use while removing the administrative burden from the landlord in enforcing exclusives.

Consumer-Generated Content Is Hot

David Ervin & Gonzalo E. Mon

Over the past year, a growing number of companies have begun to sponsor promotions involving consumer-generated content. For example, Frito-Lay and Unilever each ran contests in which consumers were invited to create commercials and the winning spots were aired on television. These types of promotions offer many advantages for marketers. If a promotion is executed well, it could generate publicity for a relatively small investment. Consumers are also likely to spend more time on a company's Web site watching videos and learning about the company's products than they would otherwise. Moreover, a company may end up with a great commercial at a fraction of the price they would have had to pay an agency to develop it.
