ARTICLE 2
PREMISES

Landlord does hereby lease to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord that certain space (herein called “Premises”), described in Article 1(b) and delineated in Exhibit ”A”.  The Premises are situated within a Shopping Center (the “Center”) located as set forth in Article 1(c).  The preliminary site plan of the Center and the location of the Premises are delineated on Exhibit ”A-1” (“Site Plan”) attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.  The Common Area is defined in Article 25.

This Lease is subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein set forth and Tenant covenants as a material part of the consideration of this Lease to keep and perform each and all of said terms, covenants and conditions by it to be kept and performed.

ARTICLE 3
USE

3-1.    Permitted Use. Tenant shall use the Premises for the purpose set forth in Article 1(d) and for no other purpose without Landlord’s prior written consent, as provided in 3-3 below.

3-2.    Exclusive Use.    Except for those uses permitted (presently and in the future) pursuant to existing leases (as of the Effective Date hereof) with other tenants, their assignees, or subtenants in the Center, Landlord covenants that during the term of this Lease and for so long as Tenant continuously operates the Premises for the use set forth in Article 1(d), Landlord shall not lease to, nor allow any other premises in the Center to operate as its primary business, the Tenant’s primary use set forth herein.  In the event that Tenant determines that another tenant or occupant of the Center has violated the provisions of this Article 3-2, it shall provide written notice to Landlord of such violation which notice shall include a detailed description of the nature of said violation.  Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease if another tenant or occupant violates the provisions of this Article 3-2 in violation of a written lease or occupancy agreement which complies herewith and to which Landlord is a party, provided that within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice, Landlord initiates appropriate action to cause said violation to cease (including the initiation of legal proceedings if necessary) and thereafter diligently prosecutes said violation to its legal conclusion.  If a violation of Landlord’s covenant in this Article 3-2 is not a breach of a written lease or occupancy agreement to which Landlord is a party, and said violation is not cured within ninety (90) days of Tenant’s notice, Tenant’s sole remedy shall be to either: (i) terminate this Lease, which termination shall be effective thirty (30) days following Tenant’s notice to terminate unless said violation ceases prior to the expiration of said thirty (30) day period, or (ii) not terminate this Lease (which shall be deemed Tenant’s decision, unless Tenant specifically elects to terminate) and sue Landlord for damages or specific performance, which action must be brought within one hundred twenty (120) days of Tenant’s notice.

3-3.    Change of Use.  If, after the Continuous Operations Period set forth in Article 5-9, Tenant intends to occupy and use the Premises for a purpose other than as set forth in Article 1(d) during the Initial Term of this Lease or during any renewal period hereunder, then prior to any change in use Tenant shall notify Landlord, in writing, of its desired use, and thereafter Landlord shall submit to Tenant, within thirty (30) days, a written list of existing exclusive use provisions for the Center. Tenant agrees that it shall not operate or allow the Premises to be operated (except as allowed by Article 3-1) in a way which would violate any future or existing exclusive to which Landlord has agreed in writing with any other tenant or occupant of the Center or which would violate any of the prohibited use restrictions set forth in Exhibit “H”.  Landlord may withhold its consent to any requested change of use if such use is not a retail use typically found in first class shopping centers in Southern California or which violates an exclusive use or restriction granted to another tenant or occupant of the Center.  A change of use shall occur whenever Tenant shall sell products other than as set forth in Article 1(d) from more than ten percent (10%) of the leasable area (as defined below in Article 4) of the Premises.

8



ARTICLE 4
MINIMUM RENT

4-1.    Initial Minimum Monthly Rent.  Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the minimum monthly rent set forth in Article 1(e) (“Minimum Rent”), without offset, deduction, notice, or demand in advance, on or before the first day of each and every successive calendar month during the Term hereof, commencing pursuant to Article 5-3 except that the first month’s Minimum Rent shall be paid in advance upon the execution hereof.  The Minimum Rent set forth herein shall be as described in Article 1(e). As used in this Lease, the phrase, “leasable area” means the area of any building or space within a building as measured from the outside of exterior walls and from the middle of demising walls.  Landlord and Tenant agree that for purposes of this Lease the leasable area of the Premises is deemed to be as set forth in Article 1 (b) and that such leasable area shall be set forth on the Confirmation Of Term and Rent (attached hereto as Exhibit ”E”) to be executed by Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days of the date the term of this Lease commences.  Rent for any period which is less than one (1) month shall be a prorated portion of the monthly installment herein based upon a thirty (30) day month.  Minimum Rent shall be paid to Landlord in lawful money of the United States of America at the address set forth in Article 1(m) or such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate. 

4-2.    Monthly Minimum Rent Adjustment.  The monthly Minimum Rent shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

From the Rent Commencement Date (as defined in Article 5-3) through the expiration of the sixtieth (60th) full calendar month of the Term (as defined in Article 5-1), the monthly Minimum Rent shall be the Initial Monthly Minimum Rent as set forth in Article 1. 

Upon the commencement of the sixty-first (61st) month through the expiration of the Initial Term the Monthly Minimum Rent shall be Eleven-thousand four-hundred and ninety-six and 40/100 dollars ($11,496.40).

Upon the commencement of Tenant’s first (1st) Option Period, if any, through the expiration of such option period, the Monthly Minimum Rent shall be Twelve-thousand eight-hundred and seventy-five and 97/100 dollars ($12,875.97).

Upon the commencement of Tenant’s second (2nd) Option Period, if any, through the expiration of such option period, the Monthly Minimum Rent shall be Fourteen-thousand four-hundred and twenty-one and 08/100 dollars ($14,421.08).

ARTICLE 5
TERM

5-1.    Lease Term.  The term of this Lease (“Term”) shall be for that period of time as set forth in Article 1(f) and shall be full calendar months, plus any partial month in which the Term commences.  The approximately twelve (12) calendar month period from the Term Commencement to the first anniversary thereof and each successive twelve (12) month period thereafter referred to in this Lease as a “Lease year.”  The parties hereto acknowledge that certain obligations under various articles hereof may commence prior to the Term (i.e., construction submittals, indemnities, and liability insurance) and the parties agree to be bound by these articles prior to commencement of the Term.

5-2.    Lease Term Commencement.  The Term shall commence (“Term Commencement”)  upon the date of delivery of possession of the Premises (“Delivery Date”) by the Landlord to the Tenant, the work identified on Exhibit “B” (“Landlord’s Work”) thereby being deemed by the Landlord and Tenant as being fully installed and completed. Landlord and Tenant shall confirm the Term Commencement by executing the Confirmation of Term and Rent as set forth in Article 4-1. 

5-2(a)  Zoning.  Prior to the date that possession of the Premises is delivered to Tenant the Premises will have been properly zoned for Tenant’s Use as identified in Article 1(d).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant has not been granted all building and sign permits or waived such permit requirement within thirty (30) days after execution of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease on or before ten (10) days following the expiration of said thirty (30) day period.

9



5-3.     Rent Commencement.  The date of commencement of the payment of Minimum Rent and all other charges and rents (the “Rent Commencement Date”) shall occur on or before the date which is the first to occur of (i) ninety (90) days after Landlord’s delivery of the Premises as defined in Article 5-2, or (ii) upon the date of Tenant’s opening for business.

5-4.    Construction and Fixture Period.  Tenant shall perform, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, all of Tenant’s Work as set forth in Exhibit “C”, and equip the Premises with all trade fixtures, inventory and personal property suitable or appropriate to the regular and normal operation of Tenant’s business.  Tenant shall exercise reasonably diligent efforts to perform Tenant’s Work as set forth in Exhibit “C”, and shall open for business as soon as possible thereafter.

5-4(a). Tenant Improvement Allowance.  Provided Tenant is not in default of this Lease, Landlord shall pay to Tenant on or before the thirty (31st) day following Tenant’s filing of a Notice of Completion for Tenant’s Work, the tenant improvement allowance in the amount as set forth in Article 1 (k) provided the following occurs: 1) Tenant opens for business and occupies the Premises; 2) Tenant pays second month’s Minimum Rent; and 3) Tenant provides Landlord with all appropriate invoices and lien releases.

5-5.     Performance of Landlord’s Work.  The Premises shall be delivered to Tenant by Landlord within thirty (30) days following the mutual signing of this Lease in accordance with the requirements enumerated in Exhibit B.

5-6.    Performance of Tenant.  Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has, or will pledge the Lease and the rents and monies reserved hereunder as security for a loan or loans on the Center and that Tenant’s failure to perform as agreed in this Lease including but not limited to payment of rents, and opening for business, may cause Landlord to suffer the loss of a loan commitment or to create default of certain loan requirements.  In the event Tenant fails to perform and such failure causes Landlord to suffer damages such as penalties, forfeiture of loan fees, higher interest rates, or any other costs and damages, Tenant may be declared in default of this Lease.

5-7.    Tenant’s Right to Possession.  Prior to entry into or on the Premises Tenant shall provide to Landlord certificates of insurance evidencing the insurance which Tenant is required to obtain by Article 8, by Exhibit ”C”, and by any of the other provisions of this Lease; provided, however, Landlord may, at Landlord’s sole discretion, agree in writing to waive the requirement that certain certificates be provided during Tenant’s Construction and Fixture Period.  Further, Landlord shall not be required to deliver possession to Tenant for any reason, including but not limited to construction or fixturization by Tenant, until Tenant provides Landlord with all certificates of insurance required by Article 8 and with all plans and drawings required by Exhibit ”C” to this Lease.  Such delay shall not, however, delay the Term Commencement, Rent Commencement Date, or any other obligations of Tenant under this Lease.

5-8.    Option(s) to Extend Lease.  Provided Tenant is not in default (of which Tenant has received written notice and such default remains uncured) upon the giving of notice or commencement of any option period, Tenant shall have the number of successive options to extend the Term, and for their respective  periods of time, as identified in Article 1(f) hereof, each such option being an “Option Period”.  Each such extended term shall begin, respectively, upon the expiration of the Initial Term of this Lease or of this Lease as extended hereby and the same terms and conditions as herein set forth shall apply to each such extended term, except that the monthly Minimum Rent shall be readjusted pursuant to Article 4-2  hereof.

If Tenant shall elect to exercise the aforesaid option or options, it shall do so by giving written notice to Landlord not less than 180 days prior to the expiration of the then current Term of this Lease.  It shall be a condition of Tenant’s right to the second option to extend that Tenant has exercised and faithfully performed all of its obligations under this Lease during the first option period.

10



5-9.    Recapture by Landlord.  Promptly following completion of construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant agrees to open its store for business under the trade name as identified in Article 1 and to operate continuously its business in the Premises, fully stocked and staffed, for a period of one (1) year (the “Continuous Operation Period”).  In the event that the Premises shall, at any time after such opening, be closed for business for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days or more, other than as a result of a remodeling or a cause or event referred to in Article 23 or 24, herein, or due to Tenant’s impending subletting of the Premises or assigning of its interest in this Lease (which shall be completed and the Premises reopened within one hundred and eighty (180) days), then at any time thereafter but prior to any day on which Tenant shall reopen for business or shall give notice to Landlord that Tenant intends to reopen the Premises for business (“Tenant’s Reopening Notice”), Landlord may, as its sole remedy, terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice thereof.  This Lease shall terminate on the thirtieth (30th) day after the giving of such written notice by Landlord.  If Tenant shall give Tenant’s Reopening Notice as provided above, Tenant shall reopen the Premises for business on or before the date specified in the Tenant’s Reopening Notice.

Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Premises may be closed for causes beyond the reasonable control of Tenant.  In addition, the Premises may be closed for weekend days, banking holidays, and for the purposes of remodeling the Premises.

At no time shall Tenant be required to pay nor shall Landlord invoice Tenant for any contribution to the payment of Operating Expenses, which amount includes any overlap or duplication between the maintenance, taxes or insurance expenses payable for the Premises and the maintenance, taxes or insurance for the Common Area.

With respect to real estate taxes, under no circumstances shall Tenant be liable for any interest, penalty or surcharge of any kind, if Tenant has timely paid Tenant’s pro rata share of taxes to Landlord as set forth in this Article 7-2.

In the event that Landlord at any time imposes upon users a fee or charge for use of space in the parking areas of the Center, the revenue derived therefrom shall be used to offset the maintenance and repair thereof, before any such maintenance or repair expense is passed through to Tenant.

(b)     Upon the Term Commencement,  Landlord may submit to Tenant a statement of the anticipated monthly Operating Expenses for the period between such commencement and the following January and Tenant shall pay these Operating Expenses on a monthly basis as Additional Rent concurrently with the payment of the Minimum Rent.  Tenant shall continue to make said monthly payments until notified by Landlord of a change thereof.  By April 1 of each year Landlord shall give Tenant a statement showing the total Operating Expenses for the Premises and the Center for the prior calendar year and Tenant’s allocable share thereof.  The first said statement shall be prorated from the Term Commencement.  In the event the total of the monthly payments which Tenant has made for the prior calendar year shall be less than Tenant’s actual share of such Operating Expenses then Tenant shall pay the difference in a lump sum within ten (10) days after receipt of such statement from Landlord and shall concurrently pay any difference between the monthly payments already made during the current calendar year based on the prior year’s anticipated monthly Operating Expenses and the amount of monthly payments which are then calculated as monthly Operating Expenses.

13



Any overpayment by Tenant shall be credited toward the monthly Operating Expenses next coming due. Even though the Term shall have expired and Tenant shall have vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s share of said Operating Expenses for the year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall immediately pay any increase due over the estimated Operating Expenses previously paid and, conversely, any overpayment made shall be immediately paid by Landlord to Tenant.  Failure of Landlord to submit statements as called for herein shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Tenant’s requirement to pay sums as herein provided. Tenant shall have the right to audit all Landlord’s records relating to the Operating Expenses one (1) time per Lease year upon ten (10) days prior written notice at the office of Landlord.  If the amount charged to Tenant has been overstated or understated, an appropriate payment shall be made within ten (10) days from completion of the audit.  If the amount charged to Tenant has been overstated by three percent (3%) or more, Landlord shall pay the reasonable, direct out-of-pocket cost of the audit.  Otherwise, the cost of the audit shall be paid for by Tenant.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not be liable for amounts due under this provision which are not billed within the twelve (12) month period immediately following the end of the twelve (12) month period in which they accrued.

(c)     Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or any of Tenant’s employees, officers, directors, shareholders, contractors, agents or invitees for any failure to  provide security for the Center and Common Areas or any failure or inadequacy of any security so provided by Landlord.

ARTICLE 8
INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY

8-1.    Insuring Party.  As used in this Article 8, the term “Insuring Party” shall mean the party who has the obligation to obtain the insurance required hereunder.  The Insuring Party shall be designated in each paragraph of this Article 8.  Whether the Insuring Party is Landlord or Tenant, Tenant shall, as Additional Rent for the Premises, pay the cost of all insurance so obtained as provided herein.

8-2.    Liability Insurance.  Tenant as the Insuring Party, at Tenant’s expense, shall obtain and keep in force during the Term, as the Insuring Party under this Article 8-2, a policy of commercial general liability insurance including coverage for bodily injury and property damage insuring Landlord and Tenant against any liability arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy, construction on or maintenance of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto, and including any and all of Tenant’s products and completed operations (“Tenant’s Liability Insurance”).  Such insurance shall be on an occurrence basis and shall provide combined single limit coverage of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000).  The policy shall contain all broad form commercial general liability extensions including, if applicable, liquor liability, garage liability, garage keepers legal liability, auto liability (owned, non-owned, hired), and such other specific coverage as may be appropriate based upon Tenant’s use in the Premises.  Tenant shall also obtain fire and extended casualty insurance in the amount of ninety percent (90%) of the full replacement cost of the Tenant Improvements as defined below in Article 8-3(c).  The policy shall contain cross liability endorsements and shall insure performance by Tenant of the indemnity provisions of this Lease including all exhibits attached hereto.  The limits of said insurance shall not, however, limit the liability of Tenant hereunder.  If Tenant shall fail to procure and maintain said insurance, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, procure and maintain the same, but at the expense of Tenant, as Additional Rent. Said insurance shall have a Landlord’s protective liability and a lender’s loss payable endorsement attached thereto.

14



Tenant shall include on such policies, as additional insureds, the entities or persons set forth in Article 1(l), and such other parties as Landlord shall reasonably from time to time require, and Tenant shall pay all premiums, if any, required to add the foregoing party(ies) as additional insureds and shall contain a provision requiring the insurance carrier to notify Landlord of any termination with not less than thirty (30) days notice.  Not more frequently than once every five (5) years or once during each option period, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, the amount of liability insurance required hereunder is not adequate, Tenant shall increase said amount by no more than fifty percent (50%) of the amount thereof during the preceding year of the Term.  However, the failure of Landlord to require any additional insurance coverage shall not be deemed to relieve Tenant from any obligations under this Lease.

Landlord as the Insuring Party shall cause to be carried, during the Term commercial general liability insurance (hereinafter, “Landlord’s Liability Insurance”) for the Center and Common Area, naming Tenant as an additional insured providing coverage of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00), combined bodily injury and property damage liability in separate limits for each of the following; general aggregate, products-completed operations aggregate, each occurrence, personal & advertising injury, and fire damage, limits of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00).  Landlord, upon written request by Tenant, shall promptly deliver to Tenant a certificate of Landlord’s Liability Insurance.  Landlord’s Liability Insurance shall require Landlord’s insurance carrier to notify Tenant at least thirty (30) days in advance of the cancellation of Landlord’s Liability Insurance.  Tenant agrees to reimburse to Landlord, Tenant’s share of Landlord’s annual total costs for the premiums for Landlord’s Liability Insurance.  Tenant’s share of Landlord’s Liability Insurance shall be calculated as the total premium multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the leasable area in the Premises and the denominator of which shall be the leasable area covered by such policy.

8-3.    Landlord’s Property Insurance.

(a)

Landlord, as Insuring Party under this Article 8-3, shall obtain and keep in force during the Term a policy or policies of insurance covering loss or damage to the Building, in the amount of not less than ninety percent (90%) of the replacement value thereof, as the same may exist from time to time against all perils included within the classification of all risk, sprinkler leakage, flood and earthquake (if available and desired by Landlord or Landlord’s lender).  Said insurance shall provide for payment of loss thereunder to Landlord or to the holders of mortgages or deeds of trust on the Premises.  Landlord shall, in addition, obtain and keep in force during the Term a policy of rental income insurance covering a period of one (1) year, with loss payable to Landlord, which insurance shall also cover all real estate taxes and insurance costs for said period.

 

 

(b)

Tenant shall pay for any increase in the property insurance of the Building or other buildings in the Center if said increase is caused by Tenant’s acts, omissions, use or occupancy of the Premises.  It is provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required to pay for any such increases in insurance costs of adjacent premises unless such increased insurance cost was the result of unusual features of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises or of Tenant’s unusual acts or omissions, the intent of the parties being to require Tenant to be financially responsible to the extent of such cost increases for creating situations of unusual hazard.

 

 

(c)

Landlord will not insure Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment, contents, goods, wares, merchandise, or other property of Tenant (“Tenant’s Contents”) from time to time in or upon the Premises but shall insure Tenant’s Improvements.  For the purposes of this Lease “Tenant Improvements” shall mean any and all alterations, additions, or improvements constructed in or on the Premises which are or are to become Landlord’s property under this Lease, whether such alterations, additions, or improvements are constructed or installed by Landlord pursuant to Exhibit ”B” to this Lease or otherwise, or by Tenant pursuant to any other exhibit to this Lease or otherwise; provided, however, that any items listed in Article 12-2 as being Landlord’s obligation to repair shall not be deemed to be Tenant Improvements.

 

 

(d)

Not more frequently than once each year, if, in the opinion of Landlord’s lender or insurance carrier, the amount of property insurance required hereunder is not adequate, Landlord may increase said insurance coverage as determined by said lender or insurance carrier.

15



(e)

Tenant agrees to reimburse to Landlord, Tenant’s share of Landlord’s annual total costs for the premiums for Landlord’s property insurance.  Tenant’s share of the costs for Landlord’s property insurance shall be calculated as the total premium multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the leasable area in the Premises and the denominator of which shall be the total leasable area covered by such policy.

8-4.    Insurance Policies.  Insurance required hereunder shall be in companies with a “General Policyholders Rating” of A or better as set forth in the most current issue of “Best Insurance Guide”.  Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of policies of such insurance or certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of such insurance with loss payable clauses satisfactory to Landlord.  No such policy shall be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage or other modification except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord.  Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewals or “binders” thereof, or Landlord may order such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Tenant, which amount shall be payable by Tenant upon demand as Additional Rent.  Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies referred to in Article 8-3.  If Tenant does or permits to be done anything which shall increase the cost of the insurance policies referred to in Article 8-3, then Tenant shall forthwith upon Landlord’s demand reimburse Landlord for any additional premiums attributable to any act or omission or operation of Tenant causing such increase in the cost of insurance.  Tenant shall provide a lender’s loss payable endorsement in favor of Landlord with respect to insurance coverage required by this Article 8.

8-5.    Waiver of Claims; Waiver of Subrogation.  Tenant and Landlord each hereby waive any and all rights of recovery against the other or against the officers, employees, agents and representatives of the other, for loss of or damage to such waiving party or its property or the property of others under its control to the extent that such loss or damage is insured against under any insurance policy in force at the time of such loss or damages or is required under the terms of this Lease, whether or not in force.  Tenant and Landlord each, on behalf of their respective insurance companies insuring the property of either Tenant or Landlord against any such loss or damage, hereby waive any right of subrogation that any insurance company may have against Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be. The Insuring Party shall give notice to the insurance carrier or carriers that the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation is contained in this Lease.  Notwithstanding, the waiver of subrogation will not be effective if its inclusion would cancel an insurance policy of any party.

8-6.    Indemnity.  Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs and damages arising from Tenant’s use of the Premises or from the conduct of Tenant’s business or from any activity, work or things done, permitted or suffered by Tenant and Tenant’s agents, contractors and employees and invitees in or about the Premises or elsewhere and shall further indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs and damages arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant’s part to be performed under the terms of this Lease, or arising from any intentional or negligent acts or omissions of Tenant, its employees, agents or invitees, or of any such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon; and in case any action or proceeding be brought against Landlord by reason of any such claim, Tenant upon notice from Landlord shall defend the same at Tenant’s expense by counsel satisfactory to Landlord or reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in defending such action or prosecuting any cross-complaint.  Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to Landlord hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons, in upon or about the Premises arising from any cause and Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord.  Such assumption and waiver shall not extend to any claims that are a result of Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

8-7.    Exemption of Landlord from Liability.  Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord shall not unless caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct,  be liable for injury to Tenant’s business or any loss of income therefrom or for damage to Tenant’s Contents, Tenant Improvements, Tenant’s employees, invitees, customers, or any other person in or about the Premises, nor shall Landlord unless caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct,  by be liable for injury to the person of Tenant, Tenant’s employees, agents or contractors, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning, roof or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause, whether said damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the Building, or from other sources or places, and regardless of whether the cause of such damage or injury or the means of repairing the same is accessible to Tenant.  Landlord shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other tenant, if any, of the Center in which the Premises are located.

16



8-8.    Tenant’s Insurance.  Tenant shall maintain the following insurance coverage with respect to Tenant’s Contents and Tenant Improvements during the Term insuring Landlord, Tenant and any lender of record (the name of which has been provided to Tenant by Landlord), encumbering the Premises, with full waiver of subrogation:

(a)

against all risks including sprinkler leakage, covering Tenant’s Contents and Tenant Improvements, in an amount of not less than ninety percent (90%) of the full replacement cost thereof;

 

 

(b)

broad form boiler and machinery insurance on a blanket repair and replacement basis with limits per accident not less than the replacement cost of all boilers, pressure vessels, air conditioning equipment, miscellaneous electrical apparatus including electrical panels, and all other insurable objects owned or operated by Tenant or by others (other than Landlord) on behalf of Tenant in the Premises or relating to or serving the Premises;

 

 

(d)

plate glass insurance for which Tenant may self-insure;

 

 

(e)

ARTICLE 9
USES PROHIBITED

Tenant shall not do nor permit anything to be done in or about the Premises, nor bring or keep anything therein which is not within the permitted use of the Premises, or which will in any way increase the existing rate of or affect any fire or other insurance upon the Building or any of its contents, or cause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering said Building or the Center or any part thereof or any of its contents.  Tenant shall not do nor permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Building or the Center (including the exclusive and restrictive use rights of other tenants pursuant to Article 3-3) or injure or annoy them nor use or allow the Premises to be used for any immoral or unlawful purpose; nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises.  Tenant shall not commit nor allow to be committed any waste in or upon the Premises.  Tenant shall not use or allow the Premises to be used for any of the prohibited or exclusive uses set forth on Exhibit ”H”.

9-1.    Hazardous Waste.  Landlord represents that it has made or will make an investigation of the physical condition of the Premises and Center, that it is generally familiar with the present and prior uses of the Premises and Center and that to the best of its actual knowledge as of the Term Commencement there will not be any toxic or hazardous wastes or substances used, generated, stored, treated or disposed on the Center or Premises in violation of applicable law.  In the event that the presence of any hazardous wastes or substances is detected on the Premises in violation of any applicable law either (i) prior to the date Tenant takes possession of the Premises; or (ii) at any time during the Term solely as a part of or as a result of work by Landlord on/in the Premises, then in such event, Landlord shall contain, remove, detoxify and/or remediate such hazardous waste in compliance with all applicable laws and environmental regulations (the “remedial work”).

17



All such remedial work shall be performed by Landlord at Landlord’s expense.  In the event that such remedial work is performed prior to Tenant opening for business, Tenant’s obligation to open shall be delayed until such remedial work is completed.  In the event that such remedial work is performed subsequent to Tenant opening for business, Tenant’s obligation to pay Minimum Rent shall be abated in direct proportion to the extent Tenant is unable to conduct its business upon the Premises as a result of such remedial work being necessary or while such remedial work is being performed.  Landlord hereby indemnifies Tenant from and against any loss, liability, claim or expense, including, without limitation, cleanup, engineering and attorneys fees and expenses that Tenant may incur by reason of the above representation being false or by reason of any investigation or claim of any governmental agency or third parties in connection therewith.  Landlord’s representations and indemnity to Tenant under this paragraph shall survive the cancellation or termination of this Lease.

Tenant shall not engage in any activities in or about the Premises or the Center that violate any federal, state or local laws, rules or regulations pertaining to hazardous wastes or hazardous substances.  Tenant shall promptly take all investigatory and/or remedial action reasonably required by Landlord or ordered by governmental authorities for the clean-up and remediation of any hazardous wastes or hazardous substances in or about the Premises or the Center created, caused or materially contributed to by Tenant or by Tenant’s employees, agents or invitees at Tenant’s sole expense.  Tenant shall provide all notices and/or reports required pursuant to the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, California Health and Safety Code Section 25249.5 et seq. and any other environmental law requiring notices and/or reports by Tenant with respect to hazardous wastes and/or hazardous substances stored, used or disposed of by Tenant with respect to hazardous wastes and/or hazardous substances stored, used or disposed of by Tenant at, in, on or around the Premises or the Center.  Tenant shall provide prompt written notice to Landlord of the existence of hazardous wastes and/or hazardous materials on the Premises and/or the adjoining property that is not in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, and all notices of violation of such environmental laws received by Tenant.  Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold Landlord and Landlord’s agents, employees and lenders, the Premises and the Center harmless from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, expenses and/or penalties arising out of or relating to the investigations, remediation and/or abatement of any hazardous wastes or hazardous substances located in or about the Premises or the Center or the elements surrounding same, to the extent created, caused or materially contributed to by Tenant or by Tenant’s agents, employees or subtenants, invitees, or any other party having possession or entering into or upon the Center by or under Tenant and/or Tenant’s failure to comply with its obligations under this paragraph.  The terms “hazardous wastes” and “hazardous substances” as used herein shall be deemed to include hydrocarbon products and asbestos.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not be liable for the use, presence, disposal, storage, generation, release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials on, from or under the Premises by a prior occupant of the Premises or on or from the Center by another tenant in the Center or Landlord.  Landlord hereby waives, releases and discharges forever Tenant from all present and future claims, demands, suits, legal and administrative proceedings and from any and all liability for damages, losses, costs, liabilities, fees and expenses, present and future, arising out of or in any way connected with any condition of environmental contamination on, about or beneath the Premises caused by Landlord, any previous owner of the Center or land underlying the Center, a prior tenant or another tenant of the Center.

ARTICLE 10
COMPLIANCE WITH LAW

Tenant shall not use the Premises, nor permit anything to be done in or about the Premises, which will in any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule or regulation or any conditions imposed by any CC&R’s or other deed restrictions now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated. 

Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations or requirements and any CC&R’s or deed restrictions now in force or which may hereafter be in force and with the requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar bodies now or hereafter constituted relating to or affecting the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises, excluding structural changes not related to or affected by Tenant’s specific use or improvements made by or under Tenant or Tenant’s acts.  The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any action against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule, regulation or requirement, CC&R’s, or deed restriction shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.

18



ARTICLE 11
ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS

Tenant shall not make or allow to be made any alterations, additions, or improvements to or of the Premises or any part thereof exceeding Twenty Five  Thousand Dollars ($25,000) in cost without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), and any alterations, additions or improvements to or of said Premises, including, but not limited to, wall covering, paneling and built-in cabinet work, but excepting movable furniture and trade fixtures, shall at once become a part of the realty and belong to Landlord and shall be surrendered with the Premises.  In the event Landlord consents to the making of any alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises by Tenant, the same shall be made by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no installation, alterations, additions or improvements to or of any electrical or mechanical system or outlet to or of the Premises, or any part thereof, shall be made, or allowed to be made by Tenant without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord.  Further, Tenant shall comply with all building codes and shall obtain the approval of and appropriate permits from any governmental agencies having jurisdiction.  Prior to the installation or alteration of any such Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall by written notice to Tenant notify Tenant if, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant must remove any Tenant Improvements as defined in subsection (c) of Article 8-3 of this Lease.  Upon expiration or early termination of this Lease, Tenant shall at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, forthwith and with all due diligence, remove any Tenant Improvements, alterations, additions or other improvements designated by Landlord to be removed together with trade fixtures, movable furniture and inventory; and Tenant shall, forthwith and with all due diligence, at its sole cost and expense, repair any damage caused by such removal whether such damage is to the Premises, the Building, or to any other property of Landlord. Tenant shall not be permitted to make any structural alterations, roof penetrations or exterior modifications to the Premises.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right, from time to time, to make whatever nonstructural changes are necessary to the interior of the Premises in terms of decor, design and color usage as Tenant desires.

ARTICLE 12
REPAIRS

12-1.    Tenant’s Repairs.  By entry hereunder (as above provided), Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises as being in good, sanitary order, condition and repair.  Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, keep the Premises and every part thereof in good condition and repair (except as hereinafter provided with respect to Landlord’s obligations) including, without limitation, the maintenance and repair of any storefront, doors, window casements, glazing, plumbing, pipes, electrical wiring and conduits, acoustical dropped ceiling systems, interior walls, including demising walls, light fixtures, and heating and air conditioning system.  Tenant shall obtain a service contract for repairs and periodic maintenance of said heating and air conditioning system with a company acceptable to Landlord, said maintenance contract to conform to the requirements under the warranty, if any, on said system, but in no event less often than quarterly.  Reasonable proof thereof of said maintenance contract shall be provided to the Landlord.  Tenant shall, upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, surrender the Premises to Landlord in good condition, broom clean, ordinary wear and tear and damage from causes beyond the reasonable control of Tenant excepted.  Any damage to adjacent premises caused by Tenant’s use of the Premises shall be repaired at the sole cost and expense of Tenant.  Unless caused by any act or omission of Tenant, nothing contained in this Article shall be deemed to require Tenant to make any alteration which is of a structural nature or which falls within Landlord’s repair/maintenance obligations hereunder.  Tenant shall not be required to make any repairs necessitated by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees.

19



12-2.    Landlord’s Repairs. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 12-1 above, Landlord shall at its sole cost and expense, repair and maintain the following structural portions of the Building: foundation, floor slab, structural portions of interior load bearing walls (except painting), structural components of exterior walls, roof, columns, structural beams. Although Landlord is obligated under this Article 12-2 to repair and maintain those certain structural portions of the Building described in the preceding sentence, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such repair and maintenance for such repairs and maintenance as are required because of damage to such structural portions of the building caused in whole or in part by the act, neglect, fault or omission of any duty of Tenant, its agents, servants, employees, invitees.  If such repairs are required because of damage to such structural portions of the Building caused by breaking and entering, or for aesthetic maintenance of the exterior of the Premises (i.e., painting, the removal of graffiti), Tenant shall pay to Landlord the actual cost of making such repairs and maintenance.  Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make such repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after written notice of the need of such repairs or maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant.  There shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord, to the same extent, by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the making by Landlord of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Building or the Premises or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein.

However, if Landlord fails to make any repairs required hereunder for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice, and the lack of repairs materially and adversely affects the operation of Tenant’s business, Tenant shall have the right to make such repairs at Landlord’s expense and Landlord shall pay Tenant’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs thereof within thirty (30) days after invoice therefor.

ARTICLE 13
LIENS

Tenant shall keep the Premises and the property upon which the Premises are situated free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant.  Landlord shall be entitled to post “Notices of Non-Responsibility” whenever Tenant is conducting any alterations or additions to the Premises.

ARTICLE 14
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

Tenant shall not voluntarily, or by operation of law, assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet or otherwise transfer or encumber all or any part of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or in the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned, taking into account the provisions of this Article 14.  Any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or subletting without such consent shall be void and shall constitute a breach of this Lease.  Regardless of Landlord’s consent, no subletting or assignment shall release Tenant from Tenant’s obligations or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder.  The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof and shall not relieve Tenant of any liability hereunder.  Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting.  Prior to such approval by Landlord of a subletting or assignment, Tenant shall provide Landlord with information concerning the proposed assignee’s or subtenant’s financial responsibility and its proposed use and business experience.  Further, if for any proposed assignment or sublease Tenant receives rent or other consideration either initially or over the term of the assignment of sublease, in excess of the rent called for hereunder, or in case of the sublease of a portion of the Premises in excess of such rent fairly allocable to such portion, after appropriate adjustments to assure that all other payments called for hereunder are taken into account, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent fifty percent (50%) of the excess of each such payment of rent. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has entered into this Lease based upon Tenant’s business acumen, judgment and ability as well as Tenant’s financial ability and, therefore, Landlord may examine all of these factors in making its decision as to whether to consent to a proposed sublease or assignment.

Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has the right to maintain an appropriate mix of uses and merchandise and services at the Center and, therefore, may deny consent to sublease or assignment based on a change of permitted use, if, in Landlord’s opinion, such use would in any way diminish the Center.  If Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, or the sale or other transfer of a controlling percentage of the capital stock of Tenant, or the sale of a least 51% of the value of the assets of Tenant, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment.  The phrase “controlling percentage” means the ownership of, and the right to vote, stock possessing at least 51% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Tenant’s capital stock issued, outstanding, and entitled to vote for the election of directors.  The preceding two sentences shall not apply to corporations the stock of which is traded through a national exchange or over the counter. 

ARTICLE 15
UTILITIES

Tenant shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power and sewer charges, telephone service and all other services and utilities supplied to the Premises, together with any taxes thereon.  If any such services are not separately metered to Tenant, Tenant shall pay a reasonable proportion to be determined by Landlord of all charges jointly metered with other premises and other premises and Common Area.  Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, may install a meter or sub-meter to measure utility usage from a common meter.

ARTICLE 16
PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES

Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, before delinquency, any and all taxes levied or assessed and which become payable during the Term upon all Tenant Improvements and Tenant’s Contents and any other personal property located in the Premises.  In the event any or all of Tenant’s leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property shall be assessed and taxed with the real property, Tenant shall pay to Landlord its share of such taxes within ten (10) days after delivery to Tenant by Landlord of a statement in writing setting forth the amount of such taxes applicable to Tenant’s property.

ARTICLE 17
RULES AND REGULATIONS

17-1.    Compliance.  Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with reasonable, non-discriminatory rules and regulations affecting the Center that Landlord shall from time to time promulgate and/or modify, including the designation of certain areas for employee parking provided the same do not materially impair Tenant’s rights hereunder (“Rules and Regulations”).  The Rules and Regulations shall be binding upon Tenant upon delivery of a copy of them to Tenant.  Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the nonperformance of said Rules and Regulations by any other tenants or occupants of the Center.

17-2.    Remedy.  Notwithstanding anything set forth in paragraph 17-1, upon violation of any Rules and Regulations promulgated by Landlord, Landlord may avail itself of such remedies or take such actions necessary to remedy such violation without declaring a default under this Lease.  Such remedies shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, installation and repair of the signs required pursuant to Exhibit ”D”, removal of debris, equipment, vehicles or any other material stored improperly or stored in violation of this Lease or of the Rules and Regulations or any CC&R’s or any reservation of easements (“Reservation of Easements”), which may exist.  Any remedy undertaken by Landlord to correct a violation of the Rules and Regulation or any CC&R’s, or Reservation of Easements by Tenant shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, which shall be billed to Tenant by Landlord and shall become an item of Additional Rent.  Tenant hereby indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any liability, claim, cause of action or other damage which may accrue to Landlord or Tenant by virtue of Landlord’s exercise of any remedies to correct violations of this Lease, the Rules and Regulations, CC&R’s or Reservation of Easements, except in the case of Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant of any violation of any rule or regulation and provide Tenant ten (10) business days to cure such violation prior to availing itself of the remedies as provided herein above.

21



17-3.    Tenant and Tenant’s Employee Parking.  Tenant and Tenant’s agents and employees shall park in those areas within the Center designated from time to time by Landlord or Landlord’s agents (“Tenant’s Employee Parking”). If requested by Landlord, Tenant will furnish Landlord with license numbers of the vehicles of the employees of the business conducted from the Premises and require that its employees place decals and/or other identification on their vehicles to permit Landlord to identify the vehicles as employee vehicles.  If said employees fail to park their cars in the parking area or areas designated by Landlord for parking by such employees or if Tenant’s employees fail to properly identify their cars as employee vehicles as so required by Landlord, then Landlord may charge the car owner fifty dollars ($50.00) per day for each day per car parked in any area other than the area designated for such parking or parked in the Center without the required decal or other identification; provided, however, Landlord agrees to give the car owner written notice of the first violation of this provision as to any particular automobile and the car owner shall have one (1) day thereafter within which to cause the violation to be discontinued; and if not discontinued within said one (1) day period (or if discontinued within said two (2) day period, a second violation as to the same automobile occurs within thirty (30) days),  then the fifty ($50.00) per day fine shall commence as to such automobile.  After notice of the first such violation as to any automobile, no prior notice of any subsequent violations shall be required for that automobile for a twelve (12) month period.  All amounts due under the provisions of this paragraph shall be payable by the car owner within ten (10) days after demand therefore to Landlord.  Subject to compliance with applicable laws, Landlord may tow away from the Center any car or cars belonging to the employees of any business conducted from the Premises and/or attach notices to such car if parked in the Center in violation of the provisions of this Section 17-3. Landlord may change the location of Tenant’s Employee Parking from time to time, but such area shall always be within the Center.

17-4.    Voluntary Programs.  It is understood and agreed that from time to time, Landlord may institute certain voluntary programs for the Center which Landlord believes will be in the best interest of the Center and its tenants.  Such programs may include, but shall not be limited to, recycling and/or car pooling programs.  Tenant agrees to promptly, at no cost or expense to Tenant, use its best efforts to comply with and carry out its obligations under such programs as the same may exist from time to time.  However, in no event shall such voluntary programs include any obligation on the part of Tenant to join, participate in, or contribute to an advertising program or merchants’ association.

ARTICLE 18
HOLDING OVER

If Tenant shall remain in possession of the Premises after the expiration of the Term, without the written consent of Landlord, Tenant will be deemed to be occupying the Premises as a tenant-at-sufferance subject to all the covenants and obligations of this Lease and at a daily rental of one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the per diem then current monthly Minimum Rent provided hereunder, computed on the basis of a thirty (30)-day month, and Tenant will vacate the Premises and deliver same to Landlord upon Tenant’s receipt of notice from Landlord to vacate the Premises.  If any property not belonging to Landlord remains at the Premises after the expiration of the Term, Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord to make such disposition of such property as Landlord may desire without liability for compensation or damages to Tenant.  In the event that such property belongs to someone other than Tenant, Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all suits, actions, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses in connection with or incident to any removal, exercise of dominion over and/or disposition of such property by Landlord.  Such indemnity to include any costs or reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in defending any action, prosecution of any cross-complaint or in responding in any way to any claim by Tenant or third party.

(d)

The making by Tenant of any general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; or the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within thirty (30) days); or the appointment of a trustee or a receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged in thirty (30) days.

20-2.  Notices of Default.

23



ARTICLE 21
LANDLORD’S REMEDIES

Landlord shall have the following remedies if Tenant commits a default.  These remedies are not exclusive; they are cumulative in addition to any remedies now or later allowed by law.

21-1.   Tenant’s Right to Possession Not Terminated.  Landlord can continue this Lease in full force and effect, and this Lease will continue in effect as long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession, and Landlord shall have the right to collect rent when due.  During the period Tenant is in default, Landlord can enter the Premises and relet them, or any part of them, to third parties for Tenant’s account.  Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting the Premises, including, without limitation, brokers’ commissions, expenses of remodeling the Premises required by the reletting, and like costs.  Reletting can be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Term.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord the rent due under this Lease on the dates the rent is due, less the rent Landlord receives from any reletting.  No act by Landlord allowed by this Article 21-1 shall terminate this Lease unless Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord elects to terminate this Lease.  After Tenant’s default and for as long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, if Tenant obtains Landlord’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) Tenant shall have the right to assign or sublet its interest in this Lease, but Tenant shall not be released from liability.

21-2.   Termination of Tenant’s Right to Possession.  Upon any event of default as provided herein above, Landlord can terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises at any time.  No act by Landlord other than giving notice of termination to Tenant shall terminate this Lease.  Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver on Landlord’s initiative to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession.  On termination, Landlord has the right to recover from Tenant:

(a)

The worth, at the time of the award, of the unpaid rent that had been earned at the time of termination of this Lease;

 

 

(b)

The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid rent that would have been earned after the date of termination of this Lease until the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;

 

 

(c)

The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; and

 

 

(d)

Any other amount, and court costs, necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s default.  “The worth, at the time of the award,” as used in Article 21-2(a) and 21-2(b), is to be computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.  “The worth, at the time of the award,” as referred to in Article 21-2(c), is to be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award, plus one percent (1%).

21-3.   Appointment of Receiver.  If Tenant is in default of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to have a receiver appointed to collect rent and conduct Tenant’s business.  Neither the filing of a petition for the appointment of a receiver nor the appointment itself shall constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease.

21-4.   Landlord’s Right to Cure Tenant’s Default.  Landlord, at any time after expiration of the applicable cure period of a default (but no later than sixty (60) days following any notice of default), can cure the default at Tenant’s cost.  If Landlord at any time, by reason of Tenant’s default, pays any sum or does any act that requires the payment of any sum, the sum paid by Landlord shall be due immediately from Tenant to Landlord at the time the sum is paid, and if paid at a later date shall bear interest at the greater of the highest rate allowed by law or ten percent (10%) per annum from the date the sum is paid by Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant.  The sum, together with interest on it, shall be Additional Rent.

24



ARTICLE 22
DEFAULT BY LANDLORD

Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.  In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease as a result of Landlord’s default and Tenant’s remedies shall be limited to damages.

ARTICLE 23
RECONSTRUCTION

In the event the Premises are damaged by fire or other perils covered by Landlord’s Property Insurance, Landlord agrees to forthwith repair same, and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of the Minimum Rent from the date of damage and while such repairs are being made, such proportionate reduction to be based upon the loss of leasable area of the Premises caused by such damage and the making of such repairs.  If the damage is due to the fault or neglect of Tenant or its employees, there shall be no abatement of rent.  In the event the Premises are damaged as a result of any cause other than the perils covered by Landlord’s property insurance, then  Landlord shall have the option, which it must elect within sixty (60) days of said casualty to (i) repair or restore such damage, this Lease continuing in full force and effect, but the Minimum Rent to be proportionately reduced as provided hereinabove in this Article 23; or (ii) not restore, in which event either Landlord or Tenant may give notice at any time within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s notification that it will not restore, terminating this Lease as of the date of said notice.  In the event of giving such termination notice, this Lease shall expire and all interest of Tenant in the Premises shall terminate on the date of said notice and the Minimum Rent, reduced by a proportionate reduction, as set forth above, shall be paid up to the date of such termination.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 23, Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises when the damage resulting from any casualty covered in this Article 23 occurs either (a) to greater than fifty percent (50%) of the total square footage of the Building or (b) to greater than twenty percent (20%) of the Center or, (c) during the last twelve (12) months of the Term or any extension thereof.  If Landlord elects not to restore (which election shall be made within sixty (60) days of said casualty), as provided in the preceding sentence, Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date of such notice to terminate, and in such event the Term shall expire as provided in said notice and all rents shall be apportioned through the date of said termination.  Landlord shall not be required to repair to make any repairs or replacements of any Tenant Improvements, or Tenant’s Contents.

ARTICLE 24
EMINENT DOMAIN

If more than twenty-five (25%) percent of the Premises shall be taken or appropriated by any public or quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain, either party hereto shall have the right, at its option, within sixty (60) days after said taking, to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days written notice.  If less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises are taken, or if more than twenty-five percent (25%) is taken and neither party elects to terminate as herein provided, the Minimum Rent thereafter to be paid shall be reduced by the percentage of the Premises which has been taken.  If more than ten percent (10%) of the Center other than the Premises may be so taken or appropriated, Landlord shall within sixty (60) days of said taking have the right at its option to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Tenant, provided Landlord also terminates the leases for any other tenants which occupy the Building.  In the event of any taking or appropriation whatsoever, Landlord shall be entitled to any and all awards and/or settlements which may be given and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or others for the value of any unexpired Term or Tenant Improvements.  Tenant shall be entitled to make its such claim against the condemning authority for the value of its trade fixtures, personal property, and moving expenses.

25



ARTICLE 25
PARKING AND OTHER COMMON AREA

All areas within the exterior boundaries of the Center which are not now or hereafter held for lease or occupation by Landlord or used by other persons entitled to occupy floor space in the Center shall be deemed Common Area.  Landlord may make changes at any time and from time to time in the size, shape, location, and extent of the Common Area, and no such change shall entitle Tenant to any abatement of rent.  Landlord covenants that except as otherwise provided hereinbelow, automobile parking, shall be at all times available for the non-exclusive use of Tenant’s customers during the full Term of this Lease or any extension of the Term, provided that the condemnation or other taking by any public authority, or sale in lieu of condemnation, of any or all of such Common Area shall not constitute a violation of this covenant; provided further, however, that Landlord reserves the right to change the entrances, exits, traffic lanes and the boundaries and locations of such Common Area including automobile parking and to construct buildings and other improvements thereon if in the sole good faith judgment of Landlord such construction shall be for the overall benefit of the Center.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, Landlord shall not make any alterations, improvements, additions, nor relocate any building in any way that would materially diminish Tenant’s visibility, access or parking, or impede Tenant’s ability to conduct its business from the Premises.  Landlord shall at all times during the Term maintain on a non-exclusive basis the number of parking stalls as required pursuant to City code.  Landlord may restrict and label up to twenty (20) spaces as short term parking if, in the sole good faith judgment of Landlord, such restriction has an overall benefit to the Center.

25-1.   Maintenance.  Landlord shall keep said Common Area, including automobile parking, in a neat, clean and orderly condition and shall repair any damage to the facilities thereof, but all expenses in connection with said Common Area including, but not limited to, cleaning, sweeping, lighting and other utilities, landscaping, trash removal and security and automobile parking shall be charged and prorated in the accordance with Article 7-2.

25-2.   Common Rights.  Tenant, for the use and benefit of Tenant, its agents, employees, customers, licensees and subtenants, shall have the non-exclusive right in common with Landlord, and other present and future owners, tenants, and their agents, employees, customers, licensees and subtenants, to use said Common Area during the entire Term, or any extension thereof, for ingress and egress, and for automobile parking for customers of Tenant.

25-3.   Rules and Regulations.  Tenant, in the use of said Common Area, agrees to comply with such reasonable rules, regulations for parking as Landlord may adopt from time to time for orderly and proper operation of said Common Area.  Such rules may include but shall not be limited to the following:  (1) the restriction or designation of employee or other parking to a limited or designated area or areas, such restrictions may, at Landlord’s option, include Landlord’s right to tow vehicles in accordance with Article 17.3 or any Rules and Regulations promulgated by Landlord in accordance with this Lease; and (2) the regulation of the removal, storage and disposal of Tenant’s refuse at the sole cost and expense of Tenant.

25-4.   Special Assessments. Tenant will be subject to any special assessment which may be levied from time to time with respect to particular or extraordinary costs or expenses which have been incurred by Landlord and/or the Center for materials or services furnished at the request, with the consent of or otherwise required by any special use of the Common Area or Premises by Tenant as opposed to uses otherwise generally enjoyed by all tenants of the Center.  Such special assessment shall be considered as Additional Rent under this Lease and shall be due and payable to Landlord upon demand.  Tenant shall be notified prior to any such expenses being incurred.

ARTICLE 26
SIGNS

26-1.   Compliance.  Tenant may not affix or maintain upon the exterior of glass panes or supports of the show windows and within twenty four (24) inches of any window and upon the exterior walls of the Premises any advertising, placards, names, insignia, trademarks and descriptive material without the prior written consent of Landlord.  Anything to the contrary in this Lease notwithstanding, Tenant shall not affix any sign to the roof.  Tenant shall, however, erect signs on the Premises as shown in Exhibit ”D”, (“Signage”) not later than the date on which Tenant opens for business, in accordance with a design to be prepared by Tenant in conformance with Landlord’s sign criteria and approved in writing by Landlord.  Signs shall be maintained in ‘first class’ condition, such cost of maintenance being borne by Tenant.  If Tenant has signage within any shared use sign, Tenant shall pay a proportionate share of maintenance costs of said sign allocated between tenants who appear on said sign, based upon the sign area of Tenant’s sign as it compares to the sign area of all other tenants appearing on said sign.

26



Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant may utilize its corporate colors, letter style and graphics on all interior and exterior signage subject, however, to the Center’s sign criteria and local sign ordinances.  Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to Tenant’s signs which conform to Landlord’s sign criteria and local sign ordinances.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant’s professionally designed monthly promotional signs may be used in the interior and/or affixed to the windows of the Premises without Landlord’s prior approval.  For a period not to exceed 30 days from the date Tenant opens for business in the Premises, Tenant may also install “Grand Opening” and promotional banners on the exterior of the Building; provided, however, that the locations of such temporary signs shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval.

26-2.   Remedy.  In the event Tenant fails to install Tenant sign(s) as set forth above, Landlord shall have the right to have such signs designed, fabricated and installed.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, any costs incurred by Landlord in this regard immediately upon receipt of notice of the amount due.

The provision contained in the foregoing sentence is not intended to, and shall not, limit any right that Tenant might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against Landlord or Landlord’s successors in interest, or any other action not involving the personal liability of Landlord, or any successor holder of Landlord’s interest hereunder, or any beneficiary of any trust of which any person from time to time holding Landlord’s interest is trustee, to respond in monetary damages from Landlord’s assets other than Landlord’s equity interest aforesaid in the Center.  In no event shall a default by Landlord entitle Tenant to abate Minimum Rent or Additional Rent except as expressly provided herein.

27



ARTICLE 32
ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS

32-1.   Assumption.  With reference to any assignment by Landlord of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, or the rents payable hereunder, conditional in nature or otherwise, which assignment is made to the holder of a mortgage or ground lease on property which includes the Premises, Tenant agrees as follows:

(a)

That the execution thereof by Landlord, and the acceptance thereof by the holder of such mortgage, or the ground lessors, shall never be treated as an assumption by such holder or ground lessor of any of the obligations of Landlord hereunder, unless such holder, or ground lessor, shall, by notice sent to Tenant, specifically otherwise elect; and

 

 

(b)

That, except as aforesaid, such holder or ground lessor shall be treated as having assumed Landlord’s obligations hereunder only upon foreclosure of such holder’s mortgage and the taking of possession of the Premises, or, in the case of a ground lessor, the assumption of Landlord’s position hereunder by such ground lessor.

32-2.   Leaseback.  Where a party acquires Landlord’s interest in property (whether land only, or land and buildings) which includes the Premises, and simultaneously leases the same back, such acquisition shall not be treated as an assumption of Landlord’s position hereunder, and this Lease shall thereafter be subject and subordinate at all times to such lease, provided Tenant’s right of quiet enjoyment hereunder is not disturbed.

ARTICLE 33
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

At any time during the Term but not more than once per Lease year, Tenant (and or any subtenant or assignee) shall, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice from Landlord, provide its most recent financial statement and financial statements for each of the two (2) years prior to the then current fiscal statement year.  Such statements shall be prepared in accordance with accounting principles as are customary practices of the Tenant’s trade.

ARTICLE 34
LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO RELOCATE PREMISES

Intentionally Deleted.

ARTICLE 35
MISCELLANEOUS

35-1.   Plats and Riders.  Clauses, plats, riders and addenda, if any, affixed to this Lease are a part hereof.

35-2.   Site Plan.  The Site Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A, including without limitation all buildings, Common Area, occupants and uses depicted thereon are subject to modification, at any time, without notice, in the sole discretion of Landlord, in accordance with this Lease.  No representation is made as to the nature or trade name of any other occupant of the Center.

35-3.   Waiver.  The waiver by Landlord of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained.  The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding default by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding default at the time of acceptance of such rent.

28



35-4.   Joint Obligation.  If there be more than one Tenant or entity comprising Tenant the obligations hereunder imposed shall be joint and several as to all such parties.

35-5.   Marginal Headings.  The marginal headings and titles to the Articles of this Lease are not a part of this Lease and shall have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part hereof.

35-6.   Time.  Time is of the essence of this Lease and of the performance of each and all of its provisions in which performance is a factor.

35-7.   Successors and Assigns.  The covenants and conditions herein contained, subject to the provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind the heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of the parties hereto.

35-8.   Recordation.  Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall record this Lease, but a short form memorandum hereof may be recorded.

35-9.   Quiet Possession.  Upon Tenant paying the rent reserved hereunder and observing and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed hereunder, Tenant shall have quiet possession of the Premises for the entire Term, subject to all the provisions of this Lease.

35-10.   Late Payments.  Tenant hereby agrees that if Tenant fails to pay rent or other sums payable within ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord for two (2) consecutive months, Minimum Rent for the following twelve (12) months shall, at Landlord’s discretion, be adjusted to be quarterly rental, payable in advance, by cashier’s check.  Said quarterly payments shall commence upon the first day of the month following written notice to Tenant of Landlord’s election to exercise the right to collect rent quarterly in advance and shall continue for the next twelve (12) months on a quarterly basis in advance.

Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of the Minimum Rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain.  Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises.  Accordingly, if any installment of Minimum  Rent or any sum due from Tenant hereunder shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee on or before the time set forth herein for the payment thereof then said amount shall be deemed past due and Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to One Hundred Eighty Dollars ($180.00).  Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Landlord will incur by reason of any such late payment by Tenant.

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

THIS SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of [_________________, 2005] by and among WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, having an address at 1320 Willow Pass Road, Suite 205, Concord, California 94520 (together with its successors and assigns, “Wells Fargo” and “Lender”), [____________________________________________], a [____________________________________________], having an address at [____________________________________________] (the “Tenant”), and AVG PARTNERS II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, having an address at c/o AVG Partners, 9595 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 710, Beverly Hills, California 90212 (“Landlord”).

RECITALS:

                    Lender is the present owner and holder of a certain Deed of Trust and Security Agreement (the “Security Instrument”) dated as of [______________, 2005], given by Landlord to Lender which encumbers the fee simple absolute estate of Landlord in certain premises described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Property”) and which, among other security instruments, secures the payment of certain indebtedness owed by Landlord to Lender evidenced by a certain promissory note dated [_____________, 2005], given by Landlord to Lender (the “Note”);

                    Tenant is the holder of a leasehold estate in a portion of the Property under and pursuant to the provisions of a certain lease dated [______________________________, 20__] between Landlord (or Landlord’s predecessor in interest), as landlord and Tenant, as tenant (as may have been amended the “Lease”); and

                    Tenant has agreed to subordinate the Lease to the Security Instrument and to the lien thereof and Lender has agreed to grant non-disturbance to Tenant under the Lease on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

AGREEMENT:

          For good and valuable consideration, Tenant, Lender and Landlord agree as follows:

                    1.          Subordination.  The Lease and all of the terms, covenants and provisions thereof and all rights, remedies and options of Tenant thereunder are and shall at all times continue to be subject and subordinate in all respects to the terms, covenants and provisions of the Security Instrument, as of the date hereof, and to the lien thereof, including without limitation, all renewals, increases, modifications, spreaders, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof and to all sums secured thereby and advances made thereunder with the same force and effect as if the Security Instrument had been executed, delivered and recorded prior to the execution and delivery of the Lease.



                    2.          Non-Disturbance.  If any action or proceeding is commenced by Lender for the foreclosure of the Security Instrument or the sale of the Property, Tenant shall not be named as a party therein unless such joinder shall be required by law, provided, however, such joinder shall not result in the termination of the Lease or disturb the Tenant’s possession or use of the premises demised thereunder, and the sale of the Property in any such action or proceeding and the exercise by Lender of any of its other rights under the Note or the Security Instrument shall be made subject to all rights of Tenant under the Lease, provided that at the time of the commencement of any such action or proceeding or at the time of any such sale or exercise of any such other (a) the term of the Lease shall have commenced pursuant to the provisions thereof, (b) Tenant, its successor or assign shall be in possession of the premises demised under the Lease, (c) the Lease shall be in full force and effect and (d) Tenant shall not be in default under any terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease or of this Agreement on Tenant’s part to be observed or performed.

                    3.          Attornment.  If Lender or any other subsequent purchaser of the Property shall become the owner of the Property by reason of the foreclosure of the Security Instrument or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or by reason of any other enforcement of the Security Instrument (Lender or such other purchaser being hereinafter referred as “Purchaser”), and the conditions set forth in Section 2 above have been met at the time Purchaser becomes owner of the Property, the Lease shall not be terminated or affected thereby but shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between Purchaser and Tenant upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Lease and in that event, Tenant agrees to attorn to Purchaser and Purchaser by virtue of such acquisition of the Property shall be deemed to have agreed to accept such attornment, provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be (a) liable for the failure of any prior landlord (any such prior landlord, including Landlord and any successor landlord, being hereinafter referred to as a “Prior Landlord”) to perform any of its obligations under the Lease which have accrued prior to the date on which Purchaser shall become the owner of the Property, provided that the foregoing shall not limit Purchaser’s obligations under the Lease to correct any conditions of a continuing nature that (i) existed as of the date Purchaser shall become the owner of the Property and (ii) violate Purchaser’s obligations as Landlord under the Lease; provided further, however, that Purchaser shall have received written notice of such omissions, conditions or violations and has had a reasonable opportunity to cure the same, all pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Lease; (b) subject to any offsets, defenses, abatements or counterclaims which shall have accrued in favor of Tenant against any Prior Landlord prior to the date upon which Purchaser shall become the owner of the Property, (c) bound by any payment of rents, additional rents or other sums which Tenant may have paid more than one (1) month in advance to any Prior Landlord unless (i) such sums are actually received by Purchaser or (ii) such prepayment shall have been expressly approved of by Purchaser, (d) bound by any agreement terminating or amending or modifying the rent, term, commencement date or other material term of the Lease, or any voluntary surrender of the premises demised under the Lease, made without Lender’s prior written consent or (e) bound by any assignment of the Lease or sublease of the Property, or any portion thereof, made prior to the time Purchaser succeeded to Landlord’s interest other than if pursuant to the provisions of the Lease.  Alternatively, upon the written request of Lender or its successors or assigns, Tenant shall enter into a new lease of the Premises with Lender or such successor or assign, at Lender’s or such successor or assign’s cost and expense, for the then remaining term of the Lease, upon the same terms and conditions as contained in the Lease, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.

- 3 -



                    4.          Notice to Tenant.  After notice is given to Tenant by Lender that the Landlord is in default under the Note and the Security Instrument and that the rentals under the Lease should be paid to Lender pursuant to the terms of the assignment of leases and rents executed and delivered by Landlord to Lender in connection therewith, Tenant shall (but subject at all times to compliance with applicable law) thereafter pay to Lender or as directed by the Lender, all rentals and all other monies due or to become due to Landlord under the Lease and Landlord hereby expressly authorizes Tenant to make such payments to Lender and hereby releases and discharges Tenant from any liability to Landlord on account of any such payments.

                    5.          Lender’s Consent.  Tenant shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, (a) enter into any agreement amending, modifying or terminating the Lease, (b) prepay any of the rents, additional rents or other sums due under the Lease for more than one (1) month in advance of the due dates thereof, (c) voluntarily surrender the premises demised under the Lease or terminate the Lease without cause or shorten the term thereof other than pursuant to the provisions of the Lease, or (d) assign the Lease or sublet the premises demised under the Lease or any part thereof other than pursuant to the provisions of the Lease;  and any such amendment, modification, termination, prepayment, voluntarily surrender, assignment or subletting, without Lender’s prior consent, shall not be binding upon Lender.

                    6.          Notice to Lender and Right to Cure.  Tenant shall notify Lender of any default by Landlord under the Lease and agrees that, notwithstanding any provisions of the Lease to the contrary, no notice of cancellation thereof or of an abatement shall be effective unless Lender shall have received notice of default giving rise to such cancellation or abatement and (i) in the case of any such default that can be cured by the payment of money, until thirty (30) days shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice or (ii) in the case of any other such default, until a reasonable period for remedying such default shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice and following the time when Lender shall have become entitled under the Security Instrument to remedy the same, including such time as may be necessary to acquire possession of the Property if possession is necessary to effect such cure, provided Lender, with reasonable diligence, shall (a) pursue such remedies as are available to it under the Security Instrument so as to be able to remedy the default, and (b) thereafter shall have commenced and continued to remedy such default or cause the same to be remedied.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to cure any such default.

                    7.          Notices.  All notices or other written communications hereunder shall be deemed to have been properly given (i) upon delivery, if delivered in person or by facsimile transmission with receipt acknowledged by the recipient thereof and confirmed by telephone by sender, (ii) one (1) Business Day (hereinafter defined) after having been deposited for overnight delivery with any reputable overnight courier service, or (iii) three (3) Business Days after having been deposited in any post office or mail depository regularly maintained by the U.S.  Postal Service and sent registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:
