ARTICLE V
COMMON AREAS

5.1 Definition. All areas within the exterior boundaries of the Shopping Center which are not now or hereafter held for exclusive use by Landlord or by other persons entitled to occupy floor space in the Shopping Center, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, parking areas and structures, driveways, truckways, delivery passages, elevators and escalators, loading docks, sidewalks, ramps, open and enclosed courts and malls, landscaped and planted areas, exterior stairways, bus stops, retaining walls, management offices, restrooms not located within the premises of any tenant, and other areas and improvements provided by Landlord for the common use of Landlord and tenants and their respective employees and invitees, shall be deemed “Common Areas.” Landlord may make changes at any time and from time to time in the size, shape, location, number and extent of the Common Areas, or any of them, and no such change shall entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent.

5.2 Use. Tenant and its employees and invitees shall be entitled to use the Common Areas during the Lease Term in common with Landlord, and with other persons authorized by Landlord from time to time to use such areas, subject to such reasonable rules and regulations relating to such use as Landlord may from time to time establish.

5.3 Control by Landlord.

(a) Landlord shall operate, manage, equip, police, light, repair, clean and maintain the Common Areas in a first class condition, consistent with the standards of similar first class shopping centers in the West Hollywood and Los Angeles areas. Landlord may (without creating any liability to or remedy for Tenant) temporarily close any Common Area for repairs or alterations, to prevent a dedication thereof or the accrual of prescriptive rights therein or for any other reason deemed sufficient by Landlord; so long as such closure does not prevent access to the Premises or the parking garage for an unreasonable period of time.

(b) Landlord shall at all times during the term of this Lease have the sole and exclusive control of the automobile parking areas, driveways, entrances and exits and the sidewalks and pedestrian passageways and other Common Areas, and may at any time and from time to time during the Lease Term restrain any use or occupancy thereof except as authorized by the rules and regulations for the use of such areas established by Landlord from time to time. The rights of Tenant in and to the Common Areas shall at all times be subject to the rights of Landlord and other tenants of Landlord to use the same in common with Tenant, and Tenant shall keep said areas free and clear of any obstructions created or permitted by Tenant or resulting from Tenant’s operation. If, in the opinion of Landlord, unauthorized persons are using any of said areas by reason of the presence of Tenant in the Shopping Center, Tenant, upon demand of Landlord, shall restrain such unauthorized use by appropriate proceedings. Nothing herein shall affect the right of Landlord at any time to remove any such unauthorized persons from the Common Areas or to prohibit the use of any of said areas by unauthorized persons.

(c) Tenant shall be permitted to have not more than fifty (50) of its employees utilize parking spaces provided within the Shopping Center or any adjacent facility designated by Landlord. Four (4) non-tandem parking spaces shall be reserved for Tenant’s employees on the P1 level of the parking garage during normal business hours (9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) Monday through Friday. The location of the remaining spaces shall be at Landlord’s discretion. Tenant (i) shall not permit more than fifty (50) of its employees to utilize the parking facilities of the Shopping Center for employee parking uses and (ii) shall comply with (and shall cause its employees to comply with) such rules and regulations as Landlord from time to time shall adopt with respect to employee parking issues. Tenant and its employees shall park their vehicles only in such parking areas as are from time to time designated for that purpose by Landlord, and Landlord may change such designated areas to assign particular spaces for use by Tenant and its employees at any time upon written notice to Tenant. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a list of its and its employees’ vehicle license numbers within fifteen (15) days after the Commencement Date and Tenant shall thereafter notify Landlord of any change in such list within five (5) days after such change occurs. Tenant agrees to assume responsibility for compliance by its employees with the parking provisions contained herein. If Tenant or its employees park in other than such designated parking areas, then Landlord may charge Tenant, as an additional charge, Fifty Dollars ($50) per day for each day or partial day each such vehicle is parked in any part of the Common Areas other than those so designated. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may tow away from the Shopping Center any vehicle belonging to Tenant or Tenant’s employees parked in violation of these provisions, and/or attach violation stickers or notices to such vehicle. All costs of such towing will be charged to the Tenant or the employee who owns the towed vehicle and must be paid prior to the release of the vehicle to its owner. Tenant and its employees shall be solely responsible for locking and the safety of their respective vehicles.

(d) In the event Landlord elects or is requited to limit or control parking by customers or invitees of the Shopping Center, whether by validation of parking tickets or any method of assessment, or any program for free or reduced cost transportation, Tenant agrees to participate in such validation, assessment or transportation program under such reasonable rules and regulations as are from time to time established by Landlord with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate and use their best efforts to participate in government mandated and voluntary traffic management programs generally applicable to businesses located in Los Angeles, California or to the Shopping Center and, initially, shall encourage and support van and car pooling by employees and shall encourage and support staggered and flexible working hours for employees to the fullest extent permitted by the requirements of Tenant’s business. Neither this nor any other provision in this Lease, however, is intended to or shall create any rights or benefits in any other person, firm, company, governmental entity or the public.

(ii) Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate and use their best efforts to comply with any and all guidelines or controls imposed upon either Landlord or Tenant by federal or state governmental organizations or by any energy conservation association to which Landlord is a party concerning energy management.

(iii) Any costs, fees, fines or other levies assessed against Landlord as the result of failure of any tenant to comply with this subsection shall be reimbursed by such non-complying tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent.

(e) Landlord shall provide parking for the customers of Tenant on a “free of charge” basis for the first two (2) hours of each customer visit; provided, however, that (i) Landlord reserves the right from time to time to institute, maintain, modify and/or eliminate such customer parking systems as Landlord shall desire, including, without limitation, “validations” and/or “valet assist” systems, and to charge for all parking, and (ii) Tenant shall follow and comply with any such system (and rules and regulations for its implementation and enforcement) as Landlord shall adopt.

5.4 Common Area Costs. Commencing on January 1, 1998, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent in the manner and at the time provided below, Tenant’s Proportionate Share, as defined below, of all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in the operation, repair and maintenance of the Common Areas during the term of this Lease, including property taxes assessed against the Shopping Center and Landlord’s expenses pursuant to Section 7.1 (“Operating Expenses”) in excess of the Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord in the calendar year 1997 (the “Base Year”). Operating Expenses shall include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(a) Utility costs not separately metered to Tenants (including costs and fees charged to or incurred by Landlord in connection with membership in energy conservation associations).

(b) Gardening, landscaping, planting and replacement of plants and landscaping; re-striping and repair and repaving and resurfacing of roads and other paved areas.

(c) Premiums paid for public liability, property damage, vandalism, malicious mischief and other insurance maintained by Landlord.

(d) Taxes (as defined in Section 17.1), and fees paid by Landlord with respect to the Shopping Center, the improvements thereto and Landlord’s personal property therein; provided, however, that taxes for the Base Year shall be calculated as if the Shopping Center were fully assessed and shall include the Tenant Improvements to be constructed pursuant to the Work Letter Agreement.

(e) Repairs.

(f) Painting, lighting (including replacements), cleaning, trash removal, depreciation of equipment, security and fire protection and similar items.

(g) The cost of purchase, installation and removal of seasonal decorations at the Shopping Center and mall directories.

(h) Costs of installation and operation of all security systems for the Shopping Center.

(i) The cost of providing management, maintenance, parking and security offices at the Shopping Center and the cost of providing center management and support staff to operate such offices and the Shopping Center.

(j) An amount equal to fifteen percent (15 %) of Operating Expenses other than those set out in (i) above to cover Landlord’s indirect administrative and overhead expenses.

Operating Expenses shall not include (i) any allowance for depreciation of Common Area improvements, (ii) debt service, (iii) ground lease rent, (iv) any costs and expenses otherwise reimbursed by Tenant, other tenants, or any insurance carrier, (v) costs and expenses, including capital expenditures, fines, penalties, and interest due to Landlord’s negligence, breach of this Lease or any lease of space in the Shopping Center, or violation of law, (vi) costs and expenses associated with the operations of the business of the partnership or other entity constituting Landlord, as distinguished from costs and expenses of the Shopping Center, (vii) wages and benefits of any employee who does not devote substantially all of his or her employed time to the Shopping Center, unless prorated to reflect actual time spent providing services to the Shopping Center, (viii) overhead and profit increment paid to the Landlord or to subsidiaries or affiliates of the Landlord for services in the Shopping Center to the extent the same exceed the cost of such services rendered by qualified, first class, unaffiliated third parties on a competitive basis, (ix) costs and expenses for which the Landlord has been compensated by a management fee to the extent that the inclusion of such costs in Operating Expenses would result in a double charge to the Tenant, and (x) any compensation paid to any commercial parking operator to the extent that such compensation is less than the revenue received by Landlord from parking, but shall include all charges, surcharges and other levies of whatsoever nature imposed by, and all costs (whether or not capital in nature) of compliance with the requirements of, any federal, state or local governmental agency regulating the environmental, health and safety aspects of the Shopping Center and all costs, as reasonably amortized by Landlord with interest at the rate actually incurred by Landlord, of any capital repair, compliance cost that is capital in nature or capital improvement which is reasonably calculated to reduce Common Area costs. Operating Expenses shall be adjusted to reflect a ninety-five percent (95%) occupancy of the Shopping Center, notwithstanding actual occupancy, for the Base Year and each succeeding calendar year.

5.5 Proportionate Payment.

(a) Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses shall be that portion thereof which the Floor Area of the Premises bears to the Floor Area of the premises leased and leasable to tenants in the Shopping Center.

(b) Prior to January 1 of each Lease Year, commencing with January 1, 1998, landlord shall give Tenant a written estimate of Tenant’s Proportionate Share (defined below) for the ensuing calendar year of Operating Expenses in excess of Operating Expenses for the Base Year. Tenant shall pay such estimated amount to Landlord in equal monthly installments, in advance without deduction or offset. In the event that actual Operating Expenses experienced during any calendar year shall be greater or lesser than the estimates used by Landlord for calculating Tenant’s monthly installments, Landlord may revise its estimates and Tenant’s monthly installments thereof. Any changes to Tenant’s monthly installment payments shall be effective with the first full calendar month following Tenant’s receipt of notice from Landlord setting forth such revisions. Within ninety (90) days after the end of each such calendar year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement (the “Statement”) showing in reasonable detail the costs and expenses incurred by Landlord for the operation and maintenance of the Common Areas during such calendar year, and the parties shall make any adjustment necessary to place Tenant’s proportionate share on a calendar year basis. Any additional amount due from Tenant shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after the date of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefor. Any amount due Tenant shall be credited against installments next coming due under this Section 5.5 or, if at the end of the Lease Term and Tenant is not in default, shall be refunded to Tenant.

(c) Tenant shall have the right, on reasonable advance written notice to Landlord, to audit Landlord’s books with respect to Operating Expenses on no more than one occasion in any calendar year. Tenant may take exception to matters included in the Operating Expenses by sending written notice specifying such exception and the reasons therefor to Landlord no later than thirty (30) days after Landlord makes such records available for examination. Landlord’s Statement shall be considered final, except as to matters to which exception is taken after examination of Landlord’s records in the foregoing manner and within the foregoing times. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord’s ability to budget and incur expenses depends on the finality of the Statement, and accordingly agrees that time is of the essence of this paragraph. If Tenant takes exception to any matter contained in the Statement as provided herein, Tenant shall refer the matter to an independent certified public accountant (which certified public accountant shall be a member of an accounting firm recognized as experienced in Shopping Center audits) reasonably approved by Landlord, whose certification as to the proper amount shall be final and conclusive as between Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall promptly pay the cost of the audit by the independent certified public accountant, unless such audit determines that Tenant was over billed by more than three percent (3%), in which case Landlord shall pay for the entire cost of said audit. Pending resolution of any exceptions in the foregoing manner, Tenant shall continue paying Tenant’s pro rata share of Operating Expenses in the amounts determined by Landlord, subject to adjustment after any exceptions are resolved.

ARTICLE VI

Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable to the other for any damage caused by fire or any of the risks insured against under any insurance policy required by this Lease. If an insurance policy cannot be obtained with a waiver of subrogation, or is obtainable only by the payment of an additional premium charge above that charged by insurance companies issuing policies without waiver of subrogation, the party undertaking to obtain the insurance shall notify the other party of this fact. The other party shall have a period of ten (10) days after receiving the notice either to place the insurance with another insurance company that is reasonably satisfactory to the other party and that will carry the insurance with a waiver of subrogation at no additional cost, or to agree to pay the additional premium if such a policy is obtainable at additional cost. If the insurance cannot be obtained or the party in whose favor a waiver of subrogation is desired refuses to pay the additional premium charged, the other party is relieved of the obligation to obtain a waiver of subrogation with respect to the particular insurance involved.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the option to cause this Lease to continue through the relocation of Tenant to new, equivalent premises in the Shopping Center. Landlord shall improve the new premises as provided in the Work Letter. Tenant shall pay for the portion of its relocation costs up to the amount of any separate award received by Tenant from the condemning authority, if any.

15.2 Partial Taking. If less than twenty percent (20%) of the Floor Area of the Premises should be taken as aforesaid in Section 15.1, this Lease shall not terminate; provided that it is commercially reasonable for Tenant to operate its business in the remaining space, in which case however, the Minimum Rent payable hereunder and any increases pursuant to Section 4.3, during the unexpired portion of this Lease shall be reduced in proportion to the area taken, effective on the date physical possession is taken by the condemning authority. Following such partial taking, Landlord shall make all necessary repairs or alterations within the scope of Landlord’s Work as described in the Work Letter necessary to make the Premises an architectural whole, but in no event shall Landlord be required to expend more on such repairs or alterations than the award received by Landlord from the condemning authority, net of all reasonable expenses incurred in obtaining the award.

If any part of the Common Area shall be taken as aforesaid, this Lease shall not terminate, nor shall the Rent payable hereunder be reduced, except that Landlord may terminate this Lease if the area of the Common Areas remaining following such taking plus any additional parking area provided by Landlord in reasonable proximity to the Shopping Center shall be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the area of the Common Areas immediately prior to the taking.

If Landlord shall consent to the proposed transaction or otherwise does not exercise any option set forth in this Section 16.3 within said twenty (20) day period, Tenant may within ninety (90) days thereafter, enter into a valid assignment or sublease of the Premises or portion thereof, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the information furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 16.2, subject, however, in each instance, to (a) to the extent applicable, any conditions to Landlord’s consent under this Article XVI and (b) Landlord’s receipt of a fully executed counterpart of such assignment or sublease and an assumption executed pursuant to the provisions of Section 16.7.

16.4 Landlord’s Consent. Tenant acknowledges that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to a proposed assignment or sublease if (a) the business or the use to be made of the Premises by the proposed assignee or subtenant is (i) not generally consistent with the character and nature of other tenants in the Shopping Center or would result in a materially heavier burden (in comparison to that resulting from Tenant’s use of such portion of the Premises) on the Shopping Center or the systems, the structures or the Common Areas thereof, (ii) in conflict with any “exclusive” or similar use or signage rights of another Shopping Center tenant, or (iii) prohibited by any provision of this Lease or the covenants, conditions or restrictions applicable to the Shopping Center, including, without limitation, the Landlord’s rules and regulations then in effect; (b) the character, moral stability or reputation of the proposed assignee or subtenant are not reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; (c) in the case of an assignment or a sublease of more than one-half of the Premises, the financial standing of the proposed assignee or subtenant and any proposed guarantor is not equal to or greater than the combined financial standing of the original Tenant and Guarantor as of the date hereof, and in all other cases, the financial standing of the proposed subtenant is not equal to or greater than the pro rata (based upon the space to be subleased) financial standing of Tenant and Guarantor as of the date hereof; (d) in the case of a proposed mortgage, hypothecation or other encumbrance of Tenant’s leasehold estate, (i) the proposed assignee or subtenant requests relief from any provision of this Article XVI or the Lease, including, without limitation, those provisions requiring assumption of this Lease by each assignee or subtenant and continuous occupancy of the Premises, (ii) the proposed mortgage, hypothecation or encumbrance is of less than the entire leasehold estate, or (iii) the proposed assignee or subtenant cannot reasonably demonstrate to Landlord that such mortgagee, hypothecation or encumbrance will not impair any of Landlord’s rights hereunder; (e) Landlord determines in good faith that (i) the experience and track record of the proposed assignee or sublessee and any proposed guarantor with respect to the business and use specified in Section 6.1 is not equal to or better than the experience and track record in such business of the original Tenant and Guarantor hereunder, or (ii) the type or quality of the services and/or merchandise which the proposed assignee or sublessee proposes to sell may have an adverse impact on the tenant mix of the Shopping Center or the ability of the existing tenants to maximize their sales or profitability. The foregoing shall be. an illustrative, but not an exclusive, listing of bases for Landlord to reasonably withhold its consent to a proposed sublease or assignment.

16.5 Profit Recapture. Landlord may also require, as a condition of its consent to any proposed assignment or sublease transaction, that Tenant (and its assignee or subtenant) pay to Landlord (a) in the case of a sublease, all rent (however denominated and paid) payable by the subtenant to Tenant in excess of that payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the other provisions of this Lease and, (b) in the case of an assignment, all consideration given, directly or indirectly, by the assignee to Tenant in connection with such assignment and allocable to Tenant’s leasehold estate. For purposes of this clause, the term “rent” shall mean all consideration paid or given, directly or indirectly, for the use of the Premises or any portion thereof; as reduced by Tenant’s expenses actually incurred directly in connection with the sublease or assignment. The term “consideration” shall mean and include money, services, property and any other thing of value such as payment of costs, cancellation or indebtedness, discounts, rebates and the like. “Sublet” and “sublease” shall include a sublease as to which Tenant is sublessor and any sub-sublease or other sub-subtenancies, irrespective of the number of tenancies and tenency levels between the ultimate occupancy, and shall require on any sublease which it executes that Tenant receive and profit from all sub-subtenancies, irrespective of the Number of levels thereof. Any rent or other consideration which is to be passed through to Landlord by Tenant pursuant to this subsection shall be paid to Landlord promptly upon receipt by Tenant and shall be paid in cash, irrespective of the form in which received by Tenant from any subtenant or assignee. In the event that any rent or other consideration received by Tenant from a subtenant or assignee is in a form other than cash, Tenant shall pay to Landlord in cash the fair market value of such rent or other consideration.

16.6 General Provisions.

(a) The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant or mutual cancellation hereof shall not work a merger, and shall, at the option of Landlord, either terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies or shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of such subleases or subtenancies. If Tenant is a corporation which is not the issuer of any security registered under Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or is an unincorporated association, trust or partnership, the transfer, assignment or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such corporation, association, trust or partnership in excess of forty percent (40%) in the aggregate during the Lease Term of the total stock or interest in such corporation, association, trust or partnership shall be deemed an assignment within the meaning of this Article XVI; provided, however, that Landlord shall not withhold its consent and the provisions of Sections 16.3, 16.4 and 16.5 of this Article XVI shall not apply to transactions described in the foregoing sentence with a corporation to which substantially all of Tenant’s assets are transferred, that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant so long as in each such case, (i) the successor of Tenant has a net worth, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (and evidenced by financial statements in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord), equal to the lesser of (A) Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) or (B) the greater of the combined net worth of Tenant and Guarantor immediately prior to such transaction or the combined net worth of the original Tenant and Guarantor hereunder as of the date of this Lease, (ii) all provisions of this Article XVI other than Sections 16.3 and 16.5 and the consent requirements of Section 16.4, shall apply to such transactions, and (iii) Tenant shall present proof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that the parties to the transaction were not attempting to avoid the application of Sections 16.3, 16.4 and 16.5. If Tenant consists of more than one person, a purported transfer, assignment, mortgage, hypothecation or other encumbrance, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, by any one of the persons executing this Lease of all or part of such person’s interest to this Lease shall be deemed an assignment within the meaning of this Article XVI. Each assignee, sublessee, licensee, mortgagee or other transferee, other than Landlord, shall assume in a writing satisfactory to Landlord, all obligations of Tenant under this Lease and shall be jointly and severally liable for the performance of all of the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing and without prejudice to Landlord’s right to require a written assumption from each assignee, any person or entity to whom this Lease is assigned, including, without limitation, assignees pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Sections 101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”), shall automatically be deemed to have assumed all obligations of Tenant arising under this Lease. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the processing, investigation and documentation of any requested assignment or sublease subject to this Article XVI not to exceed One Thousand Dollars ($1,000).

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, in the event this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, any and all monies or other consideration payable or otherwise to be delivered in connection with such assignment shall be paid or shall not constitute the property of Tenant or Tenant’s estate within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. All such money and other consideration not paid or delivered to Landlord shall be held in trust for the benefit of Landlord and shall be promptly paid or delivered to Landlord.

(c) Each assignee, sublessee, licensee, mortgagee or other transferee, other than Landlord, shall assume in a writing satisfactory to Landlord, all obligations of Tenant under this Lease as may be applicable to the portion of the Premises involved and shall be jointly and severally liable for the performance of all of the provisions hereof as may be applicable to the portion of the Premises involved. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord’s reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the processing, investigation and documentation of any request for assignment or sublease subject to this Article XVI not to exceed One Thousand Dollars ($1,000).

ARTICLE XVII
PROPERTY TAXES

17.1 Definition of Taxes. The term “Taxes” shall mean all real estate and ad valorem taxes and assessments (a) which shall or may become a lien upon, or be assessed, imposed, or levied by lawful taxing authorities against the Shopping Center or any part thereof, including the land, the Premises, and any improvements, fixtures or equipment on or for the benefit of the Shopping Center for the tax years (the years for which a lien is imposed) falling wholly or partially within the Lease Term; (b) which arise in connection with the use, occupancy, or possession of the Shopping Center or any part of the Shopping Center or any easements or other improvements on the Shopping Center including, but not limited to, those taxes imposed, levied or assessed to increase tax increments to governmental agencies or for services such as, but not limited to, fire protection, police protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal, sewer, storm drain, grey or recycled water facilities, or governmental services previously provided without charge (or for a lesser charge) to property owners and occupants; (c) which are allocable or measured by the area of the Premises or any Rent payable hereunder including, without limitation, any gross income tax or excise tax on the receipt of such Rent or upon the possession, leasing, operation, maintenance, repair or use or occupancy by Tenant or Landlord of the Premises; (d) which are attributable to the transfer or transaction directly or indirectly represented by this Lease, by any sublease or assignments hereunder or by other leases in the Shopping Center or by any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring (or reflecting the creation or transfer) of any interest or an estate in the Premises; (e) which are in the form of any penalties, fees or fines stemming from water usage which become due and payable out of or for the Shopping Center, any part of the Shopping Center, or any land or other improvements on the Shopping Center; or (f) which are imposed, assessed, or levied in lieu of, in substitution for, or in addition to any or all of the foregoing. The term “Taxes” shall include any taxes paid by Landlord to any taxing authority pursuant to any lease by which Landlord holds possession of any part of the land described in Exhibit “A” hereto (the “Land”), and any reasonable fees, expenses or costs (including attorney’s fees, expert fees and appraisal fees) reasonably incurred by Landlord in protesting or contesting any assessments, levies or the tax rate, but shall not include any charge (such as a water meter charge) which is measured by actual user consumption. The term “Taxes” shall not include Landlord’s federal or state income, franchise, inheritance or estate taxes or any increase in real property taxes that result from changes in ownership of the Shopping Center during the term of this lease (excluding the Option Term), subject to the Proposition 13 Protection set out in Exhibit “J”. If the tax statement from the taxing authority does not separately allocate assessments with respect to the Shopping Center and assessments relating to any other improvements located upon the Land, Landlord shall make a reasonable determination of the proper allocation of such assessment based, to the extent possible, upon records of the county assessor. A real estate tax xxxx or copy submitted by Landlord to Tenant shall be conclusive evidence of the amount of any Taxes.

17.2 Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay before delinquency all municipal, county, state or federal taxes, levies, assessments and fees of every kind and nature, including but not limited to general or special assessments, assessed during the Lease Term against any leasehold interest, leasehold improvements or personal property of any kind owned by or placed in, upon or about the Premises by Tenant or upon Tenant’s business operation in the Premises. When possible, Tenant shall cause such personal property and other items to be assessed and billed separately from the Premises and the Shopping Center. If any such taxes, levies and assessments are levied against Landlord or the Shopping Center or if the assessed value of the Shopping Center is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon any items described in this Section and if Landlord pays the taxes, levies and assessments based upon such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof, but only under proper protest if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall upon demand repay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the taxes, levies and assessments so levied against Landlord, or the proportion of such taxes, levies and assessments resulting from such increase in the assessment, together with interest thereon from the date of payment by Landlord to the date of reimbursement by Tenant at the maximum rate allowable by law. Provided, however, that in any such event Tenant shall have the right, in the name of Landlord and with Landlord’s full cooperation but without any cost to Landlord, to bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover the amount of any such taxes, levies and assessments so paid under protest, any amount so recovered to belong to Tenant.

17.3 Payment: Audit. Tenant agrees to pay, at the time and in the manner specified herein, its Proportionate Share of Taxes in the manner set forth in Section 5.5.

ARTICLE XVIII
DEFAULT BY TENANT AND REMEDIES

18.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute a material breach and default of this Lease (an “Event of Default”) by Tenant:

(a) The failure of Tenant to pay any installment of Rent or make any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder within five (5) days after the due date, and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) days after delivery of written notice to Tenant of such default, which notice shall be in lieu of and not in addition to any notice required by Section 1161, et seq., of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

(b) The abandonment or vacation of the Premises by Tenant, unless Tenant continues to pay all Rent and is not otherwise in default of any provision of this Lease.

(c) The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision of this Lease, including without limitation any provision of the Exhibits attached hereto, as they may exist from time to time, to be observed or performed by Tenant, within ten (10) days after delivery of written notice thereof to Tenant (except where a different period of time is specified in this Lease, in which case such different period of time shall apply), which notice shall be in lieu of and not in addition to any notice required under Section 1161, et seq., of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Subject to the case wherein a specific time period is specified, if the nature of the default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within the specified time period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall, within the specified time period, both deliver to Landlord its written agreement to cure the default and commence such cure and diligently pursue the same to completion.

(d) The making or furnishing by Tenant of any warranty, representation or statement to Landlord in connection with this Lease, or any other agreement to which Tenant and Landlord are parties, which is false or misleading in any material respect when made or furnished.

(e) The business operated by Tenant shall be closed for failure to pay any state sales tax as required.

(f) Any transfer of a substantial portion of the assets of Tenant, or any incurrence of a material obligation by Tenant, unless such transfer or obligation is undertaken or incurred in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business or in good faith for fair equivalent consideration, or with Landlord’s consent, or except as otherwise provided in Article XVI.

(g) The default of any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder under any guaranty of this Lease, the attempted repudiation or revocation of any such guaranty or the participation by any such guarantor in any other event described in this Section 18.1 (as if this Section 18.1 referred to such guarantor in place of Tenant).

(h) If a levy under execution or attachment shall be made against Tenant of all or substantially all of Tenant’s property in or at the Premises and such execution or attachment shall not be satisfied, stayed, vacated or removed by payment, court order, bonding or otherwise within a period of ninety (90) days after entry of such execution or attachment.

(i) The filing of an involuntary petition against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code or any other state or federal law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency that is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after being filed or the making or entry of a decree or order by a court or determination by any regulatory or governmental agency, if any, having jurisdiction over Tenant (i) that Tenant is bankrupt or insolvent, (ii) approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization of Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code or any other state or federal law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, (iii) appointing a receiver or liquidator or trustee in bankruptcy or insolvency of Tenant or of its property or any substantial portion of its property, or (iv) the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of Tenant.

(j) If Tenant shall (i) institute proceedings to be adjudged a voluntary bankrupt, (ii) consent to the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding against it, (iii) file a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or readjustment under the Bankruptcy Code or any other state or federal law, or otherwise invoke any law for the aid of debtors, or consent to the filing of any such petition, (iv) consent to the appointment of a receiver or liquidator or trustee in bankruptcy or insolvency of it or of its property or any substantial portion of its property, (iv) make an assignment for the benefit of the creditors, (vi) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due or, (vii) take any corporate action in furtherance of any of the aforesaid purposes. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that this is a lease for premises within a “shopping center” within the meaning of Section 365(b)(3) of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

18.2 Landlord's Remedies. Upon default by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, take any or all of the following actions:

(a) Terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant and any subtenants, licensees or concessionaires hereunder by giving written notice of such intention to terminate. In the event that Landlord shall elect to terminate this Lease as provided in this subsection, then Landlord may recover from Tenant all amounts which landlord is entitled to recover pursuant to Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code (or any successor thereto), including, but not limited to:

(i) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus

(ii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent that would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

(iii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus

(iv) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of events would be likely to result therefrom; plus

(v) At Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by the law of the State of California.

(b) As used in subsections (a) (i) and (ii) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allocating interest at the lower of fifteen percent (15%) per annum or the highest rate then permitted by law (the “Default Rate”). As used in subsection (a) (iii) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

(c) In the event of the default and abandonment of the Premises by Tenant, and without terminating or effecting a forfeiture of this Lease or otherwise relieving Tenant of any obligation hereunder in the absence of express written notice of Landlord’s election to do so, Landlord may, but need not, relet the Premises or any portion thereof at any time or from time to time and for such terms and upon such conditions and Rent as Landlord in its discretion may deem proper, with the right to make alterations or repairs to the Premises. If Landlord relets the Premises or any portion thereof, the Rent received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any cost of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to the Premises; fourth, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder, and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future amounts as the same may become due and payable hereunder. Should the Rent for such reletting, during any month for which the payment of Rent is required hereunder, be less than the Rent payable during that month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord immediately upon demand therefor by Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such reletting or in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the Rent received from such reletting. Landlord may execute any lease made pursuant hereto in its own name, and the lessee thereunder shall be under no obligation to see to the application by Landlord of any proceeds to Landlord, nor shall Tenant have any right to collect any such proceeds. Landlord shall not by any re-entry or other act be deemed to have accepted any surrender by Tenant of the Premises or Tenant’s interest therein, or be deemed to have terminated the Lease, or to have relieved Tenant of any obligations hereunder, unless Landlord shall have given Tenant express written notice of Landlord’s election to do so as set forth herein. Election by Landlord to proceed pursuant to this paragraph shall be made upon written notice to Tenant and shall be deemed an election of the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4. If Landlord elects to pursue such remedy, unless Landlord relets the Premises, Tenant shall have the right to sublet the Premises and to assign its interest in this Lease, subject to all of the standards and conditions set forth in Article XVI. Landlord may elect to terminate the prosecution of such remedy at any time by written notice to Tenant, and the right of Tenant to sublet or assign shall terminate upon receipt by Tenant of such notice.

(d) Take any and all other action and pursue all other rights and remedies provided at law, in equity (including moving to enjoin a breach or threatened breach) or under this Lease. Efforts by Landlord to mitigate the damages caused by Tenant’s default shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to recover damages hereunder.

18.3 Liquidated Damages. Nothing in this Article XVIII shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove or obtain as liquidated damages in any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or dissolution proceeding an amount equal to the maximum allowed by a statute or rule of law governing such proceedings and in effect at the time when such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal to or less than the amount of the damages referred to in any of the preceding sections.

18.4 Form of Payments. Following the occurrence of an event of default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right for one (1) year thereafter to require that any or all subsequent amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, whether in cure of the default in question or otherwise, be paid in the form of cash, money order, cashiers or certified check drawn on an institution acceptable to Landlord, or by other means approved by Landlord, notwithstanding any prior practice of accepting payments in any different form.

18.5 Landlord Default. In the event of default of Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall be entitled to recover from Landlord all damages shown by Tenant to have been proximately caused thereby; but Tenant shall in no event have the right to terminate this Lease by reason thereof. At any time when there is outstanding a mortgage, deed of trust or similar security instrument covering Landlord’s interest in the Premises, Tenant may not exercise any remedies for default by Landlord hereunder unless and until the holder of the indebtedness secured by such mortgage, deed of trust or similar security instrument pursuant to which a Subordination and Non-Disturbance Agreement has been executed under Article XXIV, shall have received written notice of such default and a reasonable time for curing such default shall thereafter have elapsed which time period shall not exceed thirty (30) days.

18.6 Landlord’s Right to Fixtures, Furniture and Equipment. Subject to the rights of secured third parties, in the event that Landlord shall have taken possession of the Premises pursuant to the authority herein granted, then Landlord shall have the right to keep in place and use all of the furniture, fixtures and equipment of the Premises, including that which is owned by or leased to Tenant at all times prior to any foreclosure thereon by Landlord or repossession thereof by a lessor thereof or third party having a lien thereon. Landlord shall also have the right to remove from the Premises (without the necessity of obtaining a distress warrant, writ of sequestration or other legal process) all or any portion of such furniture, fixtures, equipment and other property located thereon and place same in storage at any premises within the County in which the Premises is located; and in such event, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such removal and storage and shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, damage, cost, expense and liability in connection with such removal and storage. Landlord shall also have the right to relinquish possession of all or any portion of such furniture, fixtures, equipment and other property to any person (“Claimant”) claiming to be entitled to possession thereof who presents to Landlord a copy of any instrument represented to Landlord by Claimant to have been executed by Tenant (or any predecessor of Tenant) granting Claimant the right under various circumstances to take possession of such furniture, fixtures, equipment or other property, without the necessity on the part of Landlord to inquire into the authenticity of Tenant’s or Tenant’s predecessor’s signature thereon and without the necessity of Landlord’s making any investigation or inquiry as to the validity of the factual or legal basis upon which Claimant purports to act; and Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from all cost, expense, loss, damage and liability incident to Landlord’s relinquishment of possession of all or any portion of such furniture, fixtures, equipment or other property to Claimant. The rights of Landlord stated above shall be in addition to any and all other rights which Landlord has or may hereafter have at law or in equity, and Tenant stipulates and agrees that the rights herein granted Landlord are commercially reasonable.

18.7 Landlord’s Rights to Cure Tenant’s Defaults. All covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any abatement of Rent. If Tenant at any time during the Lease Term or at any time prior to the Commencement Date shall be in default under this Lease beyond any applicable cure period, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to do so), and without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, make any such payment (other than payment of Rent) or perform any such other act on Tenant’s part to be made or performed by Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of such payment by Landlord, shall be payable to Landlord on demand and Tenant covenants to pay any such sums, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedies of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of the non-payment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of the Rent.

ARTICLE XIX
LEASE GUARANTY

19.1 Execution of Guaranty. If one or more guarantors (individually, the “Guarantor”) are indicated in Section 1.1(n) hereof, this Lease shall not become effective unless and until the guaranty (the “Guaranty”) of each Guarantor (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “G”) is duly executed and delivered to Landlord. Tenant acknowledges that the Guaranty is a material inducement to the execution of this Lease by Landlord and that if the Guarantor fails to perform or otherwise breaches any provision of the Guaranty, or if the Guarantor is prevented from performing its obligations under the Guaranty for any reason, including operation of law, then the same shall constitute a failure of the consideration for this Lease and this Lease shall be voidable at any time during the Lease Term at Landlord’s sole and absolute option.

19.2 Tenant as Guarantor’s Agent for Service of Process. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that by its execution of this Lease it is agreeing to act as the Guarantor’s agent for service of process in any action arising out of or otherwise relating to the Guaranty. Tenant further agrees to take all necessary action, including the execution and filing of any requisite documents, to authorize Tenant to act as the Guarantor’s agent for service of process.

ARTICLE XX
LETTER OF CREDIT

20.1 Letter of Credit.

(a) Tenant within five (5) business days after the date on which Landlord executes this Lease, shall provide to Landlord an unconditional, clean, irrevocable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in the amount of Three Hundred Thirty Thousand Dollars ($330,000), and otherwise in a form as shall he approved by Landlord in its reasonable discretion, as security for Tenant’s faithful performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

(b) The Letter of Credit shall be issued by a money center bank (a bank which accepts deposits, maintains accounts, has a local Los Angeles office which will negotiate a letter of credit and whose deposits are insured by the FDIC) reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and shall be for a period commencing on the date of issuance of the Letter of Credit and expiring at the end of the First “Lease Year” (as defined in Section 4.2(iii) hereof). Tenant shall pay all expenses, points and/or fees incurred by Tenant in obtaining, modifying, renewing or reissuing the Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit shall be held by Landlord as Security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant. The Letter of Credit shall not be mortgaged, assigned or encumbered in any manner whatsoever by Tenant without the prior written consent of Landlord.

(c) Said Letter of Credit shall be extended annually through the expiration of the Tenth Lease Year, each extension to be effective from the first day of each applicable Lease Year through the last day of each applicable Lease Year, and Tenant shall deliver each such extended Letter of Credit to Landlord no later than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of said extended Letter of Credit. Provided that for each Lease Year, Tenant’s net worth shall be equal to or greater than Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) as shown on its most recent audited financial statements, the extended Letters of Credit for the subsequent Lease Year shall be reduced to the following amounts:

Second Lease Year
Third Lease Year
Fourth Lease Year
Fifth Lease Year
Sixth through Tenth Lease Years

$264,000
198,000
132,000
66,000
66,000

In the event that the Tenant’s net worth shall be less than Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000), the face amount of the letter of credit for the subsequent Lease Year shall equal the amount of the previous year’s letter of credit with no reduction. Commencing with the Sixth Lease Year, so long as Tenant’s net worth shall exceed Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) for the previous Lease Year, Tenant may at any time elect to terminate the letter of credit and substitute a security deposit in the amount of one-twelfth of the Minimum Rent payable for that Lease Year. In the event that Tenant elects to substitute a security deposit, the provisions of Section 20.1(g) shall apply to such deposit.

(The amount of each letter of credit for each of the ten respective Lease Years as set forth above shall be referred to as an “L-C Amount”). Failure to provide said extended Letter of Credit to landlord as provided herein, without notice or demand, shall be an immediate default of Tenant, which shall permit Landlord at its option to immediately draw in full said Letter of Credit.

(d) If an Event of Default (as defined in Section 18.1 hereof) has occurred and is continuing, with respect to any provision of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of Rent, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, draw upon that portion of the Letter of Credit necessary for the payment of any Rent or any other sum in default, or for the payment of any amount that Landlord may reasonably spend or may become obligated to spend to cure any other material default by Tenant (after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period set forth in Section 18.1). The use, application or retention of the Letter of Credit, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease, the Guaranty or by law, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the Letter of Credit, and shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. Any penalty assessed by the financial institution for the early withdrawal from such account due to a default by Tenant shall be borne by Tenant.

(e) If any portion of the Letter of Credit is drawn upon, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, either (i) deposit cash with Landlord in an amount equal to the difference between the L-C Amount and the remaining amount available to Landlord under the Letter of Credit, or (ii) deposit with Landlord another irrevocable letter of credit for the remaining term of the Letter of Credit, in form and substance acceptable to Landlord from a bank acceptable to Landlord, in an amount equal to the difference between the L-C Amount and the remaining amount available to Landlord under the Letter of Credit, and Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep said deposit (if paid in cash) separate from its general accounts. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the cash deposit, or so much thereof as has not theretofore been applied by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Section 20, shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Letter of Credit. No trust relationship is created herein between Landlord and Tenant with respect to said Letter of Credit.

(f) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has the right to transfer or mortgage its interest in the Shopping Center and/or the Premises in this Lease, and Tenant agrees that in the event of any such transfer or mortgage, Landlord shall have the right to transfer or assign the Letter of Credit to the transferee or mortgagee, and in the event of such transfer, Tenant shall look solely to such transferee or mortgagee for the return of any such cash deposit and/or the Letter of Credit.

(g) In the event that Tenant elects to substitute a security deposit for the Letter of Credit beginning with the sixth lease year, the provisions of this paragraph shall apply to such security deposit. If Tenant fails to pay Minimum Rent, Additional Rent or other charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, Landlord may use all or any portion of the security deposit for the payment of any Rent or other charge due hereunder, to pay any other sum to which Landlord may become obligated by reason of Tenant’s default, or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer thereby. If Landlord so uses or applies all or any portion of said deposit, Tenant shall within thirty (30) days after written demand therefore deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to its full amount. Landlord shall not be required to keep the security deposit separate from its general accounts. If Tenant performs all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, the deposit, or so much thereof as has not heretofore been applied by Landlord, shall be returned, without payment interest or other amount for its use, to Tenant (or at the Landlord’s option, to the last assignee, if any, of Tenant’s interest hereunder) at the expiration of the term hereof, and after Tenant has vacated the Premises. No trust relationship is created herein between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the security deposit. Tenant acknowledges that the security deposit is not an advance payment of any kind or a measure of Landlord’s damages in the event of Tenant’s default. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of any law which is inconsistent with this Article XX.

ARTICLE XXI
SECURITY INTEREST

21.1 Grant of Security Interest. To secure performance of each and all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a security interest in each and all of (a) the tenant improvements, fixtures, furnishings, equipment, supplies and other tangible personal property located on or about the Premises that constitute (i) the Tenant’s Work described in the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit “C” (ii) property that is affixed to the Premises and cannot be removed therefrom without damage to the Premises, whether or not included in the Tenant Work, and (iii) any replacement for any item of Tenant Work (collectively, the “Collateral”). Landlord’s security interest in furniture that is refurbished pursuant to Section 32.1(g) of the Work Letter Agreement shall not exceed Seventy Thousand Dollars ($70,000).

21.2 Other Action. From time to time, promptly following Landlord’s request to do so, Tenant shall take all such action, including, without limitation, the filing of financing statements and perfection documents as shall be required to grant, maintain and perfect for the benefit of Landlord a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral. Tenant shall keep the collateral free of all liens, claims and security interests other than the Security Interest hereby granted to Landlord. Tenant hereby warrants and represents that as of the date hereof, Landlord’s security interest is a valid and perfected first priority security interest.

21.3 Landlord Rights. Landlord shall be entitled to all the rights and remedies of a secured party under Article IX of the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted in California.

ARTICLE XXII
HAZARDOUS MATERIAL

22.1 No Hazardous Material. Tenant hereby represents, warrants and covenants that: (a) Tenant’s business operations in the Premises do not and will not involve the use, storage or generation of “Hazardous Material” (defined below), without Landlord’s prior written consent (which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion); (b) Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material to be brought upon, stored, manufactured, generated, blended, handled, recycled, disposed of, used or released on, in, under or about the Premises or Shopping Center by Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors, subtenants, assigns and invitees (collectively, “Affiliates”); and (c) Tenant shall keep, operate and maintain the Premises in compliance with all, and shall not permit the Premises to be in violation of any, federal, state or local environmental, health and/or safety related law, decision of the courts, ordinance, rule, regulation, code, order, directive, guideline, permit or permit condition currently existing and as amended, enacted, issued or adopted in the future which is applicable to the Premises (collectively, the “Environmental Laws”).

22.2 Landlord’s Inspection Rights. Landlord and its representatives shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice (except in emergencies, in which case no notice shall be required), to enter onto and to inspect the Premises and to conduct reasonable testing, monitoring, sampling, digging, drilling and analysis for Hazardous Material on, under or about the Premises and to review and copy any documents, materials, data, inventories, financial data, or notices or correspondence to or from private parties or governmental authorities related to Hazardous Materials in connection therewith.

22.3 Indemnification. Tenant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold Landlord, its partners, officers, employees, agents, lenders and each of their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all claims, judgments, damages, penalties, enforcement actions, taxes, fines, remedial actions, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney fees, litigation, arbitration and administrative proceeding costs, expert and consultant fees and laboratory costs), which arise during or after the Lease Term in whole or in part as a result of the presence or suspected presence of any Hazardous Material, in, on, under or about the Premises, the surface or subsurface of the Shopping Center and/or other properties due to Tenant’s or Affiliates’ activities, or failure to act, on or about the Shopping Center. Without limiting the foregoing, if any Hazardous Material is found in the soil, surface or ground water in, on, under or about the Shopping Center at any time during or after the Lease Term, the presence of which was caused by Tenant and/or Affiliates, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly take all actions as are necessary to return the Shopping Center to the condition existing prior to the introduction or release of such Hazardous Material in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws and Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

22.4 Right of Entry. If Landlord has reason to believe Tenant and/or Affiliates has caused or permitted a release of Hazardous Material which results in or threatens to result in such Hazardous Material becoming present on, under or about the Premises, or is in noncompliance with any applicable Environmental Laws or requirement thereof, Landlord may demand that Tenant promptly take action with respect thereto as set forth above. If Tenant does not respond within thirty (30) days (unless there is an emergency, in which case Tenant shall respond as soon as practicable but in not less than three (3) days), Landlord has the right, but not the obligation, to enter onto the Premises and take all actions reasonably necessary to investigate and fully remediate such release or noncompliance at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, which sums shall be immediately due and payable to Landlord as Additional Rent upon receipt of an invoice therefor.

22.5 Definition of Hazardous Material. As used herein, the term “Hazardous Material” includes any hazardous, explosive, corrosive, radioactive or toxic substance, material or waste which is regulated by any local governmental authority, the state of California or the United States, including, without limitation, any material or substance which is (a) defined or listed as a “hazardous waste”, “extremely hazardous waste”, “restricted hazardous waste”, “hazardous substance”, “hazardous material”, “pollutant” or “contaminant” under any Law, (b) petroleum or a petroleum derivative, (c) a flammable explosive, (d) a radioactive material, (e) a polychlorinated biphenyl, or (f) asbestos or an asbestos derivative.

ARTICLE XXIII
SURRENDER OF POSSESSION

Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises immediately upon the expiration of the Lease Term (and all options, if any, properly exercised under Article XXV) or earlier termination of this Lease. If Tenant shall continue to occupy or possess the Premises after such expiration or termination without the consent of Landlord, then unless Landlord and Tenant have otherwise agreed in writing, Tenant shall be a tenant from month-to-month. All the terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease shall apply to this month-to-month tenancy except those terms, provisions and conditions pertaining to the Lease Term, and except that the Minimum Rent shall be immediately adjusted upward upon the expiration or termination of the Lease to equal one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Minimum Rent for the Premises in effect under this Lease during the month which includes the day immediately prior to the date of the expiration or termination of this Lease. This month-to-month tenancy may be terminated by Landlord or Tenant upon fifteen (15) days’ prior notice to the non-terminating party. In the event that Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon such termination or expiration, then Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against all loss or liability resulting from or arising out of Tenant’s failure to surrender the Premises, including, but not limited to, any amounts required to be paid to any tenant or prospective tenant who was to have occupied the Premises after said termination or expiration and any related attorneys’ fees and brokerage commissions.

ARTICLE XXIV
SUBORDINATION; NON-DISTURBANCE

Tenant agrees that this Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder shall be subject and subordinate to any and all deeds of trust, security interests, mortgages, master leases, ground leases or other security documents and any and all modifications, renewals, extensions, consolidations and replacements thereof and advances thereunder (collectively, “Security Documents”) which now or hereafter constitute a lien upon or affect the Shopping Center or the Premises; provided, however, that as a condition of the effectiveness of any subordination to any future Security Documents, Landlord shall provide to Tenant either (a) the standard form non-disturbance agreement from the holder of such Security Documents, (b) a non-disturbance agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit “H” hereto, or (c) such other commercially reasonable non-disturbance and attornment agreement in general use at the time (individually, a “Non-Disturbance Agreement”) which Non-Disturbance Agreement shall provide that such holder or any successor thereof shall, upon succeeding to Landlord’s fee interest in the Shopping Center, agree to recognize and honor the rights of Tenant under this Lease. Such subordination shall be effective without the necessity of the execution by Tenant of any additional document for the purpose of evidencing or effecting such subordination. In addition, Landlord shall have the right to subordinate or cause to be subordinated any Security Documents to this Lease and in such case, in the event of the termination or transfer of Landlord’s estate or interest in the Shopping Center by reason of any termination or foreclosure of any such Security Documents, Tenant shall, notwithstanding such subordination, attorn to and become the Tenant of the successor in interest to landlord. Subject to the provisions of this Article, Tenant shall, within twenty (20) days of demand therefor, execute any instruments or other documents which may be required by Landlord or the holder of any Security Document and specifically shall execute, acknowledge and deliver within twenty (20) days of demand therefor a subordination of lease or subordination of deed of trust, either in the form required by the holder of the Security Document requesting the document (and otherwise consistent with the provisions of this Article) or substantially in the form of Exhibit “H” hereto. As a condition of this Lease, Landlord shall obtain, from each holder of a Security Document presently encumbering the Shopping Center, a non-disturbance agreement on such holder’s standard form.

ARTICLE XXV
OPTION FOR RENEWAL

25.1 Definition. As used in this Lease, the word “Option” means the right or option to extend the term of this Lease or to renew this Lease as provided in this Article XXV.

25.2 Option for Renewal. Provided that Tenant shall not be in default of any provision of this Lease at the time of exercise of the Option or at the date of commencement of the term of the Option and subject to the Virgin Right of First Refusal set out in Section 25.6 below, Tenant shall have the Option to extend this Lease for one period of five years (“the Option Term”). The Option Term shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as are contained in this Lease.

25.3 Options Personal. The Option granted to Tenant in this Lease, if any, is personal to the original Tenant and may be exercised only by the original Tenant while occupying the entire Premises and may not be exercised or be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by or to any person or entity other than Tenant, including, without limitation, any assignee or sublessee pursuant to Article XVI. The Option herein granted to Tenant is not assignable separate and apart from this Lease, nor may any Option be separated from this Lease in any manner, either by reservation or otherwise. If at any time an Option is exercisable by Tenant, the Lease has been assigned, or a sublease exists as to any portion of the Premises, the Option shall be deemed null and void and neither Tenant nor any assignee or subtenant shall have the right to exercise the Option.

25.4 Effect of Default on Option. Tenant shall have no right to exercise an Option (i) during the time commencing from the date Landlord gives to Tenant a valid notice of default pursuant to Section 18.1 and continuing until the noncompliance alleged in said notice of default is cured, or (ii) if Tenant is in default of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease. The period of time within which an Option may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise an Option because of the provisions of this Section 25.4.

25.5 Notice of Exercise of Option. Written notice of election to exercise an Option must be served upon Landlord no earlier than nine (9) months and no later than six (6) months prior to the expiration of the original Lease Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article XXV, Tenant may only exercise an Option by delivering its written notice of exercise to Landlord by certified mail, return receipt and date of delivery requested. It shall be Tenant’s obligation to prove that such notice was so sent in a timely manner and was delivered to Landlord by the U.S. Postal Service.

25.6 Virgin Right of First Refusal. The Option set out in this Article XXV shall be subject to the right of Landlord to lease the Premises to Virgin Megastore Sunset, L.P. or any successor assignee or affiliate (“Virgin”) on any terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion. Tenant shall have no right to exercise its Option if, within ten (10) days after Tenant serves its written notice pursuant to Section 25.5, Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice that it has entered into negotiations, a written notice of intent or a written lease with Virgin for the Premises or any portion thereof. The exercise by Tenant of the Option shall be ineffective after receipt of Landlord’s notice regardless of whether Virgin subsequently executes any lease of the Premises; provided, however, that if Virgin subsequently unequivocally declines to lease the Premises prior to the expiration of the initial Term of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to exercise its Option by notice served upon Landlord within fifteen (15) days of notice from Landlord that Virgin had declined to lease the Premises.

25.7 Expansion Option. During the first Lease Year, Lessee shall have the option to amend this Lease to include the additional space (the “Option Space”) set out on Exhibit “K” hereto by giving Landlord written notice of the exercise of the option to amend. Landlord shall deliver the Option Space in its “AS IS” condition no later than six (6) months after Tenant executes a valid amendment to this Lease incorporating the Option Space into the Lease. The amendment shall provide that the lease of the Option Space shall be subject to all the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, except as follows:

(a) Minimum Rent on the Option Space shall commence sixty (60) days after Landlord delivers the Option Space to Tenant;

(b) Employee parking shall be increased a ratio of three spaces per 1,000 square feet of Option Space; and

Exercise of the expansion option contained in this Section 25.7 shall be subject to the terms and conditions set out in Section 25.3 and 25.4. In addition, Tenant shall have no right to exercise its option to lease the Option Space unless Tenant, and any Guarantor, are in substantially the same financial condition as at the execution of this Lease and Landlord has the ability to relocate the management office currently occupying the Option Space.

25.8 First Right to Negotiate Option Space. In the event that the Landlord shall elect to relocate its management office after the first Lease Year but during the remaining term of this lease, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the availability of the Option Space. Within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of the notice, Tenant may notify Landlord in writing that it desires to enter into negotiations to lease the Option Space at prevailing market rates, terms and conditions. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on mutually acceptable terms and conditions for lease of the Option Space within fifteen (15) days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice, this first right of negotiation shall expire and Landlord may lease the Option Space to any third party on any terms and conditions in Landlord’s sole discretion.

ARTICLE XXVI
NOTICES

26.1 Written Notice. All notices required hereunder shall be made and given in writing to (a) Tenant, by delivery of notice as herein provided to the Premises, or (b) to Landlord at the address herein set forth. Any change of address shall be effective only upon delivery of written notice thereof to the other party. Notice shall be effective as of the date of personal delivery or delivery by a private contract carrier that assures same or next day delivery and provides a receipt, or by facsimile or other telecommunication device capable of creating a written record of such notice and its receipt. To the extent that any telecommunication notice is permitted hereunder, the parties hereto shall provide appropriate facsimile (or telex) numbers.

26.2 Joint Execution. If and when included within the term “Landlord” as used in this instrument there are more than one person, firm or corporation, all shall jointly arrange among themselves for their joint execution of such notice specifying some individual at some specific address for the receipt of notices and payments to Landlord; if and when included within the term “Tenant” as used in this instrument there are more than one person, firm or corporation, all shall jointly arrange among themselves for their joint execution of such a notice specifying some individual at some specific address for the receipt of notices and payments to Tenant. All parties included within the terms “Landlord” and “Tenant” respectively, shall be bound by notices and payments given in accordance with the provisions of this Article XXVI to the same effect as if each had received such notice or payment.

ARTICLE XXVII
LATE PAYMENT

Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to fix in advance. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance and note secured by any encumbrance covering the Shopping Center. Therefore, if any installment of Rent due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within ten (10) days from the date that the same is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum of five percent (5%) of the overdue Rent as a late charge. Any installment of Rent due from Tenant and not received by Landlord within thirty (30) days from the date that the same is due shall bear interest at the Default Rate until the same is fully paid. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to the overdue amount, or prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord.

ARTICLE XXVIII
TENANT’S ESTOPPEL STATEMENT

Within ten (10) days of Landlord’s written request, Tenant agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an Estoppel Statement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “I” ratifying this Lease and certifying (if believed to be true by Tenant) the information and statements contained in Exhibit “I”.

ARTICLE XXIX
MISCELLANEOUS

29.1 Interpretation, Use of Pronouns. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto, nor by any third party, as creating the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or of joint venture between parties hereof, it being understood and agreed that neither the method of computation of Rent, nor any other provisions contained herein, nor any acts of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any relationship between the parties hereto other than the relationship of Landlord and Tenant.

29.2 Captions. The captions used herein are for convenience only and do not limit or amplify the provisions hereof.

The consent or approval by either party shall not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same covenant, term or condition. The consent or approval by either party to or of any act by the other party requiring such consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary consent to or approval of any subsequent similar act.

29.4 Force Maieure.

29.5 Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord agrees that if Tenant shall perform all of the covenants and agreements herein required to be performed by Tenant, Tenant shall, subject to the terms of this Lease and the rights of any mortgagees or ground lessors, at all times during the continuance of this Lease have the peaceable and quiet enjoyment and possession of the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that the Shopping Center is not an office environment but is intended to be a lively, retail shopping venue and that sounds, sights, odors and vibration may be present which might not be present in an office environment. Without limitation on the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges that other tenants of the Shopping Center may from time to time play audible music, erect and maintain bright visual displays, and conduct promotional events, both in their respective premises and in the Common Areas, and the same may be experienced by Tenant and Tenant’s employees, customers, clients, licensees and invitees in the Common Areas and within Tenant’s premises. Tenant hereby waives and releases any claim for breach of quiet enjoyment, constructive eviction, any right to terminate the lease, any right to deduct or offset from rent, or any claims against other Shopping Center tenants or Landlord arising out of the foregoing activities, provided such activities are commercially reasonable in a retail context.

29.6 Entire Agreement. This Lease contains the entire agreement between the parties, and no agreement shall be effective to change, modify or terminate this Lease in whole or in part or waive any rights hereunder unless such agreement is in writing and duly signed by the party against whom enforcement of such change, modification or termination is sought.

29.7 Brokers. Tenant and Landlord each represents and warrants that it has dealt with no broker, agent or finder other than Landlord’s or Tenant’s Broker named in Section 1.1(1) or 1.1(m) above, on account of this Lease, and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless each other from and against any and all claims, damages and costs, including attorneys’ fees, in connection with any claim for brokerage, finder’s or similar fees, or compensation related to this Lease, which may be made or alleged as a result of acts or omissions of that party.

29.8 Governing Law. The laws of the State of California shall govern the interpretation, validity, performance and enforcement of this Lease.

29.9 Waiver of Jury Trial.

Landlord and Tenant each expressly and knowingly waive and release all such rights to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either party against the other on any matters arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, Guarantor’s guaranty of Tenants’ obligations under this Lease (if any), Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, and/or any claim for injury or damage,

29.10 Venue and Jurisdiction.

Landlord and Tenant each agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such action.

29.11 Successors and Assigns. The terms, provisions and covenants contained in this Lease shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors in interest and legal representatives except as otherwise herein expressly provided.

Payment shall not be a condition precedent to recovery upon any indemnification provision contained herein.

29.14 No Accord and Satisfaction. No acceptance by Landlord of a lesser sum than the Rent then due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment of such Rent due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such installment or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. The delivery of keys to any employee of Landlord or to Landlord’s agent or any employee thereof shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises.

29.15 Remedies Cumulative. The specific remedies to which Landlord may resort under the terms of this Lease are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which it may be lawfully entitled in case of any breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any provisions of this Lease.

29.16 Enforceability.

29.17 No Discrimination. Tenant herein covenants by and for itself, its heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, and all persons claiming under or through it, and this Lease is made and accepted upon and subject to the following conditions: that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person or group of persons, on account of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, creed, national origin, or ancestry, in the leasing, subleasing, transferring, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Premises herein leased nor shall Tenant itself, or any person claiming under or through it, establish or permit any such practice or practices or discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sublessees or vendees of the Premises.

29.18 Joint and Several Liability. In the event that either Landlord or Tenant is composed of more than one person or entity, the obligations imposed herein shall be joint and several.

Such amounts shall be included in any judgment rendered in such action or proceeding.

29.21 No Offer. The delivery of an unsigned copy of this Lease to Tenant shall not constitute an offer to lease the Premises or grant any rights to Tenant as a result thereof and this Lease shall not be binding on Landlord or Tenant until executed by Landlord and Tenant and delivered to Landlord.

29.22 Landlord’s Liability.

(a) The term “Landlord” shall mean only the owner of the fee interest in the Shopping Center and in the event of transfer by such owner of its interest in the Shopping Center, such owner shall thereupon be released and discharged from all covenants and obligations of the Landlord thereafter accruing, but such covenants and obligations shall be binding during the Lease Term upon each new owner for the duration of such owner’s ownership.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Landlord shall not have any personal liability hereunder and in the event of any breach or default by Landlord in any term or provision of this Lease, Tenant agrees to look solely to the equity interest then owned by Landlord in the land, improvements and personal property which constitute the Shopping Center. However, in no event shall any deficiency judgment or any money judgment of any kind be sought or obtained against Landlord.

29.23 Rules and Regulations. Tenant agrees to comply with all rules and regulations of the Shopping Center imposed by Landlord as set forth in Exhibit “E” attached hereto, as the same may be changed from time to time upon reasonable notice to Tenant; provided; however, that, any change or modification to, or enforcement of, such rules and regulations shall be effected on a good faith non-discriminatory basis by Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for the failure of any other tenant or any of its assignees, subtenants, or their respective agents, employees, representatives, invitees or licensees to conform to such rules and regulations.

29.24 Authority.

Each party hereto shall provide the other party on demand with such evidence of such authority as either party shall reasonably request, including, without limitation, resolutions, certificates and opinions of counsel.

RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR CONTRACTORS

Introduction

The following Rules and Regulations for Contractors are to govern the actions and operations of Contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers for construction (collectively referred to herein as “Contractor”) within the confines of 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx (“the Property”). Schedule 1 to these Rules and Regulations contains floor plans of the three (3) retail levels, enclosed loading dock and five (5) levels of subterranean parking. Each Contractor is responsible for ensuring compliance with each of the Rules and Regulations by each subcontractor, sub-subcontractor and supplier of such contractor.

Supervision

Contractor shall maintain a competent superintendent or supervisory representative on the premises full-time who is authorized to act in all manners pertaining to the work.

The name, phone number, mobile telephone number and pager number for this individual shall be given to the owner of the Property, 8000 Sunset, Ltd., (“Owner”) along with an emergency contact in the event of an after hours emergency.

Appearance

All tools, equipment and building materials must be maintained at all times within the area under construction when not in transit to or from the area.

In all cases where construction is taking place in an occupied area or visible common area, all necessary steps and precautions shall be taken to shield the work site from public view. This shall include keeping doors closed (construction of temporary doors if necessary), latexing “storefront” windows in retail areas and building out a one-side drywall partition on public corridors, if appropriate. The use of tape (of any kind) on any finished surfaces is expressly forbidden.

Staging Area

Owner has designated unloading and staging areas in the loading dock, which is located on level P-2 as shown in the floor plans contained in Schedule I. All materials unloaded at these areas are to be moved into the premises immediately. Under no circumstances will any deliveries be made from the curb, by street access, or through the parking structure.

5	Utility Access Access to any common area utility (i.e., electrical panels/service, gas valves, water/sewer hook-ups, etc.) shall only be provided by Owner upon one full business day's prior written notice.

Utility Interruption

Contractor shall take all necessary and appropriate steps to ensure that utility services to existing occupants of the Property are not interrupted.

In the event that minimal service interruption is necessary during the course of the work, it must be arranged with written notification to the Owner no less than 5 business days prior to its occurrence and must occur during hours when the businesses affected are not generally open nor in operation.

Temporary Facilities

Water and electric power are provided in the building for the use of the various contractors. Contractor is to verify the locations and adequacy of the facilities provided and make all allowances in its bid for modifying the facilities if he so desires. Any changes to base building power panels must receive prior written approval of Owner. Temporary power must be maintained within the construction premises. No power cords will be allowed outside the work area. Monthly electric power, water, and fire sprinkler water charges are paid by Owner and charged to Contractor at Owner's discretion. Contractor shall provide temporary metering of electric consumption which includes both usage and peak demand.

Owner may provide (at its own discretion) temporary sanitary facilities. If Owner chooses not to, then Contractor will provide adequate temporary sanitary facilities for his employees and subcontractors. Contractor is to maintain these facilities in a clean and acceptable matter subject to Owners’ inspection. In the event that Contractor is granted by Owner permission to place a temporary office facility on the site, the size, location, and quality of the facility is at the sole discretion of Owner.

Protection

Where Contractor’s work engages work performed by others or if access to the premises passes through areas of work performed by others, marring or damaging of such areas will not be permitted. Any work which must take place in an area previously prepared by others shall be approved by Contractor before commencing work and any unsatisfactory conditions shall be reported to Owner.

Where existing work is damaged in the execution of the work, Contractor shall be responsible for repairing or replacing the damaged work (at Contractor's expense) as required and to the satisfaction of Owner.

Upon completion of tenant construction, Contractor shall promptly dismantle, remove and dispose of any temporary enclosures and any excess materials from the premises. Should Contractor fail to comply with the above, Owner will proceed upon 24 hours written notice m Contractor with the necessary clean-up, demolition and removal, and charge Contractor.

Deliveries

Delivery of materials and supplies to the work site shall be done daily prior to 8:00 AM at the location specked in Schedule 1. Contractor understands that the asphalt paving around the property is not designed for heavy construction traffic and therefore all deliveries must be made (excluding concrete) in trucks rated at not more than 5 tons, unless otherwise expressly approved by Owner. All deliveries must use the freight elevator to access the retail levels of the shopping center. Under no circumstances shall any deliveries be made using the passenger elevators.

Contractor agrees to use reasonable care in protecting all tiled walkways. Carts for moving materials shall have pneumatic tires or other soft tires so as to prevent damage to ceramic tiles. Contractor agrees to pay Owner for the cost of all tiles damaged by Contractor.

10.

Clean-Up

Contractor will ensure that no tools, equipment, materials or debris of any kind are permitted to accumulate anywhere outside of the work area, including but not limited to: dirt, dust, paint, sawdust, taping and/or taping mud, sheet rock and/or related debris, paper and trash of any kind. Tracking of construction dirt into the public corridors or stairways must be prevented through the use of walk-off mats provided by Contractor and changed frequently to remain clean. The walk-off mats shall be placed immediately inside the work area. In addition, Contractor will sweep clean the work area (using sweeping compound to minimize dust) as often as necessary to maintain a safe work place and a clean public access to and from it.

Contractor shall assign someone responsible for policing the common areas between the loading area and the work area and/or the areas workmen travel as necessary to ensure cleanliness.

11.	Final Clean-Up At the completion of the project, Contractor is to provide a thorough janitorial cleaning of the entire premises (and surrounding areas affected by the construction) including but not necessarily limited to the following:

•

Clean interior per contract.

•

Clean walkway, parking areas, and common service areas so as to leave them in at least as clean a condition as before the work began.

12.

Site Policing

Contractor is to maintain premises free of general debris and trash. Food is to be consumed in the work area only with all food remains, garbage and containers removed by Contractor nightly.

At all times during demolition and construction, Contractor shall assign someone responsible to police and clean public areas where construction debris is present.

(h) Any right of subrogation against Tenant;

(i) All rights it might otherwise have to require Landlord, as a condition to requiring Guarantor to perform hereunder, to first: (i) institute suit, obtain a judgment, or exhaust any remedies against Tenant, or any others liable on such obligations; (ii) enforce any rights against any security which shall ever have been given to secure such obligations; (iii) make any other efforts at collections; or (iv) require Landlord to join Tenant as a party in suit on this Guaranty;

(j) Any defense based upon Landlord’s election of any remedy against the Guarantor, or Tenant or any combination of such parties;

(l) Any neglect, delay, omission, failure or refusal of Landlord to foreclose on my collateral for Tenant’s Lease obligations or to xxx or take any other action to enforce the collection or performance of all or any part of the obligations secured by the Guaranty.

THIS GUARANTY and the obligations and liabilities of the undersigned shall remain in fun force and effect without regard to, and shall not be affected or impaired by the following, nor shall any of the following give the Guarantor any recourse or right of action against Landlord;

(a) Any exercise or non-exercise by Landlord of any right or privilege under this Guaranty or the Lease;

(b) Any assignment or other transfer, in whole or in part, of this Guaranty or the Lease; or

THIS GUARANTY shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated as the use may be, if at any time any payment to Landlord, or any part thereof is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by Landlord pursuant in any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or receivership. In the event Landlord must rescind or restore any payment received by Landlord in satisfaction of the Guarantor’s obligations, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to the Guarantor by Landlord shall be without effect, and this Guaranty shall remain in full force and subject to the provisions of this Guaranty, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Tenant or any other person and Landlord may enforce any or its rights hereunder independently of any other right or remedy that Landlord may at any time hold with respect to the obligation secured by this Guaranty.

LANDLORD’S ACCEPTANCE of a note or additional collateral of Tenant or of Guarantor shall not be the full cash payment or the active and primary performance required herein. This Guaranty is given in addition to all other guaranties which may pertain to Tenant’s indebtedness, and is not subordinate to any other guaranties. Subject to the provisions of this Guaranty, Landlord’s rights under all guaranties, including this Guaranty, shall be cumulative and independently enforceable. It shall not be a condition to the enforcement of this Guaranty that any other guaranties be resorted to by Landlord.

THE GUARANTOR AGREES that it will at any time and from time to time, within ten (10) business days following written request by Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement certifying that this Guaranty is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating such modifications) and making such additional statements with respect to this Guaranty and Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as Landlord shall reasonably request. The Guarantor agrees that such certificate may be relied on by anyone holding or proposing to acquire any interest in the Shopping Center from or through Landlord or by any mortgagee or lessor or prospective mortgagee or lessor of the Shopping Center or of any interest therein.

THE GUARANTOR REPRESENTS and warrants that:

(a) It is not insolvent, and that there are no limitations or prohibitions to the enforcement of this Guaranty;

(b) It is immediately benefited by execution and delivery of the Lease by Landlord;

(c) All financial information furnished to Landlord is complete and accurate in all material respects and accurately represents the financial condition of the Guarantor as of the date of such financial information, and, as of the date hereof, them has been no material adverse change in the financial condition of the Guarantor as represented by such financial information.

AS A FURTHER inducement to Landlord to make and enter into the Lease and in consideration thereof, Landlord and Guarantor covenant and agree that in any action or proceeding brought on, under or by virtue of this Guaranty, (i) Landlord and Guarantor shall and do hereby waive trial by jury, (ii) Landlord and Guarantor agree that such action or proceeding shall have as its venue Los Angeles County, California or the United States District Court having jurisdiction over Los Angeles County, California, and (iii) Landlord and Guarantors each agree to submit to the jurisdiction of any court described in subsection (ii). Without regard to principles of conflicts of laws, the validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

IF ANY PORTION or application of this Guaranty is invalid, unenforceable or illegal for any reason, the parties agree that such invalid, unenforceable or illegal portion or application shall not be deemed to affect the remainder of this Guaranty.

GUARANTOR’S OBLIGATIONS and liabilities under this Guaranty are absolute, independent of and regardless of any defenses, counterclaims, set-offs, cross-claims or other claims which Guarantor may now have or at any time hereafter have against Tenant.

IN ANY bankruptcy or other proceeding by or against Tenant in which the filing of claims is required by law, Guarantor shall file all claims which Guarantor may have against Tenant relating to any indebtedness of Tenant to Guarantor and shall assign to Landlord all rights of Guarantor thereunder. If Guarantor does not file any such claim, Landlord, as attorney-in-fact for Guarantor, is hereby authorized to do so in the name of Guarantor or, in Landlord’s discretion, to assign the claims to a nominee and to cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of Landlord’s nominee. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Landlord or its nominee shall have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to accept or reject any plan proposed in such proceeding and to take any other action which a party filing a claim is entitled to do. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to Landlord the amount payable on such claim and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose; and Guarantor hereby assigns to Landlord all of Guarantor’s rights to any such payments or distributions; provided, however, Guarantor’s obligations not be satisfied except to the extent that Landlord receives cash by reason of any such payment or distribution. If Landlord receives anything hereunder other than cash, the same shall be held as collateral for amounts due under this Guaranty.

THE PROVISIONS of the Lease may be changed, amended or modified by agreement between Landlord, or its successors, assigns and transferees, and Tenant, or its successors, assigns and transferees, at any time in writing; provided, however, that any such amendment which (a) extends the Lease Term, (b) modifies the Rent or any item thereof including any Additional Rent, payable under the Lease, (c) increases or decreases the Floor Area of the Premises, (d) assigns, subleases or transfers Tenant’s interest under the Lease, or (e) materially increases the financial burden of Guarantor or Tenant under the Lease (a “Consent Amendment”) shall not be effective without the prior written consent of Guarantor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed: provided, further, however, that (i) in no use shall Landlord be required to obtain any such consent from Guarantor (and Guarantor hereby waives any and all claims, defenses and rights with respect thereto) if Guarantor then no longer beneficially owns directly or indirectly more than 25% of the ownership interest in Tenant, and (ii) any failure of Landlord to obtain Guarantor’s consent to a Consent Amendment otherwise required hereunder shall only result in the unenforceability of this Guaranty to the extent of any increase in the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder and shall not affect in any way the liability and obligations of the Guarantor hereunder in effect prior to such Consent Amendment.

ANY NOTICE, request, demand, instruction, or other communication to be given to any party hereunder shall be in writing and shall be either: (i) personally delivered to the parties named below by a commercial messenger service regularly retaining receipts for such delivery, (ii) sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or (iii) delivered by reputable courier services such as Federal Express, Express Mail, Airborne, or Xxxxx Air; shall be effective upon delivery thereof to such messenger service, postal service, or carrier, and shall be addressed to the parties as follows:

SUBORDINATION OF LEASE AGREEMENT
WITH NONDISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

NOTICE:

THIS SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT RESULTS IN THE LEASEHOLD
ESTATE IN THE PROPERTY BECOMING SUBJECT TO AND OF
LOWER PRIORITY THAN THE LIEN OF SOME OTHER OR LATER
SECURITY INSTRUMENT.

THIS SUBORDINATION OF LEASE AGREEMENT WITH NONDISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered into as of _______________ 19__, by 8000 SUNSET, LTD., a California limited partnership ("Landlord"), and XXXXX XXXXXXX & ASSOCIATES, INC., a California corporation, doing business as THINK NEW IDEAS, INC. ("Tenant"), and THE LONG-TERM CREDIT BANK OF JAPAN, LTD., Los Angeles Agency ("Lender"), with reference to the following facts:

A. Pursuant to a lease dated December 1, 1996, (the "Lease") between Landlord and Tenant, Tenant is a tenant of 13,762 square feet commonly known as Suite B310, 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx ("Leased Premises") of a certain building constructed (the "Building") on that certain real property located in the City of Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles, State of California, more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Land") (the Land and Building being collectively referred to herein sometimes as the "Property").

B. Landlord and Lender have entered into a Construction Loan Agreement (the "Original Loan Agreement") dated as of January 30, 1990, pursuant to which Landlord has executed a promissory note dated as of January 30, 1990, in favor of Lender (the "Note") evidencing Landlord’s indebtedness to Lender in connection with a loan of up to $40,400,000.00 made by Lender to Landlord (the "Loan") to, in part, partially refinance the acquisition cost of the Land and to finance construction costs related to the Building. Landlord has executed a Deed of Trust and Security Agreement and Fixture Filing and Assignment of Leases and Rents dated as of January 30, 1990, and recorded in the Official Records of Los Angeles County, California on February 1, 1990, as Instrument No. 90179908 (the "Deed of Trust"), covering the Property.

C. The Original Loan Agreement, Note, Deed of Trust and other Loan Documents were modified pursuant to the terms of that certain Modification Agreement (the "First Modification") dated as of June 28, 1991, a short form of which was recorded July 5, 1991, as Instrument No. 00-0000000, in the Official Records of Los Angeles County, California, and by the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement dated as of May 31, 1994 (the "Loan Agreement") and the Modification Agreement (Second Short Form) dated as of May 31, 1994 and recorded May 31, 1994 in the Official Records of Los Angeles County, California as Instrument No. 00-0000000 (collectively, the “Second Modification”), and other loan documents referred to in the First Modification and the Second Modification. The Deed of Trust secures the First Modification, the Second Modification and the Note and all other agreements presently secured by the Deed of Trust, as modified by the, Second Modification. All references to the “Deed of Trust” mean the Deed of Trust as modified by the First Modification and the Second Modification.

D. As a condition precedent to obtaining the Loan and the Second Modification and Lender’s approving the Lease, as provided in the Loan Agreement, Lender has required that Landlord and Tenant unconditionally subordinate the Lease to the lien of the Deed of Trust.

E. It is to the mutual benefit of Landlord and Tenant that Lender make and modify the Loan to Landlord, and Landlord and Tenant are willing to subordinate the Lease to the lien of the Deed of Trust.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing facts and the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Assignment. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has notice that the Lease and the rent and all other sums due thereunder have been assigned or are to be assigned to Lender as security for the obligations secured by the Deed of Trust. Any notice of default or termination under the Lease sent by Tenant to Landlord shall be sent by Tenant to Lender at the same time such notice is sent to Landlord. In the event Lender notifies Tenant of the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Deed of Trust and demands that Tenant pay its sums due under the Lease directly to Leader, Tenant shall honor such demand and pay such sums due under the Lease directly to Lender or as otherwise directed pursuant to such notice. In complying with these provisions, Tenant shall be entitled to rely solely upon the notices given by Lender, and Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all loss, claim, damage or liability arising out of Tenant’s compliance with such notice. Tenant shall be entitled to full credit under the Lease for any rents paid to Lender in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph to the same extent as if such rents were paid directly to Landlord. Any dispute between Lender and Landlord as to the extent, nature, existence or continuance of an Event of Default, or with respect to foreclosure of the Deed of Trust by Lender, shall be dealt with and adjusted solely between Lender and Landlord, and Tenant shall not be made a party thereto (unless required by law).

2. Priority of Deed of Trust. The Deed of Trust in favor of Lender, and any renewals and extensions thereof, shall unconditionally be and remain at all times a lien on the Property, prior and superior to the Lease (including specifically, without limitation, any option to purchase or rights of first refusal affecting the Property, or any portion thereof, contained therein) and the leasehold estate created thereby.

3. Entire Agreement Regarding Subordination. This Agreement shall be the whole and only agreement with regard to the subordination of the Lease and the leasehold estate created thereby to the lien of the Deed of Trust in favor of Lender, and shall supersede and cancel, but only in so far as would affect the priority between (a) the Lease and (b) the Deed of Trust, any prior agreements as to such subordination, including, but not limited to, those provisions, if any, contained in the Lease which may provide for such subordination.

4. Consent and Subordination. Landlord and Tenant declare, agree and acknowledge that:

a. Landlord and Tenant consents to all provisions of the Loan Agreement, Note and Deed of Trust, or Tenant has waived its opportunity to review such documents and nevertheless consents to them;

b. In making disbursements under any of the Loan Documents, Lender is and has been under no obligation or duty to, nor has Lender represented that it will or did, see to the application of such proceeds by the person or persons to whom Lender disbursed such proceeds, and any application or use of such proceeds for purposes other than those provided for in such agreement shall not defeat the subordination herein; and

c. Landlord and Tenant intentionally and unconditionally waive, relinquish, subject and subordinate the Lease and the leasehold estate created thereby in favor of the lien of the Deed of Trust, and acknowledge that, in reliance upon and in consideration of this waiver, relinquishment, subjection and subordination, the modifications in the Loan Agreement were made and the terms of the Lease were consented to by Lender, which agreements and consent would not be made but for this waiver, relinquishment, subjection and subordination.

5. Attornment. If the interests of Landlord in the Property and under the Lease shall be acquired by Lender by reason of foreclosure of the Deed of Trust or any other act or proceeding(s) made or brought to enforce the rights of the Lender, including, but not limited to, by deed in lieu of foreclosure, then the Lease and all terms therein, and the rights of Tenant thereunder, shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be altered, terminated, or disturbed, except in accordance with the terms of the Lease and this Agreement, and Tenant shall be bound to Lender under all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease for the balance of the term and any renewals thereof with the same force and effect as if the Lender were the Landlord under the Lease. In the event Lender acquires the interest of Landlord, Tenant hereby agrees to attorn to Lender as its Landlord, said attornment to be effective and self-operative without the execution of any other instruments on the part of either party hereto, immediately upon Lender succeeding to the interests of Landlord under the Lease. Upon receipt by Tenant of notice from Lender that Lender has succeeded to the interests of Landlord under the Lease, Tenant will make all payments of monetary obligations due by Tenant under the Lease, after receipt of such notice, to Lender at the address provided by Lender.

6. Nondisturbance. If Lender shall succeed to the interests of Landlord under the Lease, Lender shall be bound to Tenant under all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, and Tenant shall, from and after Lender’s succession to the interests of Landlord under the Lease, have the same remedies against Lender for the breach of any provision contained in the Lease that Tenant might have had under the Lease against Landlord if Lender had not succeeded to the interests of Landlord under the Lease; provided further, however, that Lender shall not be:

a. liable for any acts or omissions of any prior landlord (including, but not limited to, Landlord); or

b. subject to any offsets or defenses not specifically provided for in the Lease which Tenant might have arising out of acts or omissions of any prior landlord (including, but not limited to, Landlord); or

c. liable for any consequential damages attributable to any acts or omissions of any prior landlord (including, but not limited to, Landlord); or

d. obligated to give Tenant a credit for or acknowledge any rent or any other sums which Tenant has paid to Landlord which is in excess of the rent due under the Lease at the time Lender gave Tenant notice of it succeeding to the Landlord’s interests and not delivered to Lender; or

e. liable for the repayment of any monies paid by Tenant under the Lease, including without limitation, security deposits, unless Lender actually received possession of such monies; or

f. obligated to commence or complete any construction or contribute toward construction or installation of any improvements required under the Lease, or expand or rehabilitate existing improvements thereon, or restore improvements following any casualty not required to be insured under the Lease or pay the costs of any restoration in excess of the proceeds recovered under any insurance required to be carried under the Lease or any condemnation award; or

g. liable for any damages or other relief attributable to any latent or patent defects in construction; or

h. liable for any costs or expenses related to any indemnification or representation provided by any prior landlord (including, but not limited to, Landlord) with respect to the Property or the Leased Premises, including, without limitation, (i) the presence or clean-up of any hazardous substances or materials in, on, under or about the leased premises or (ii) the ability of Tenant to use the Property for any purpose; or

i. obligated to enforce any restriction on competition beyond the Lease Premises or pay any expenses or damages in connection with or arising from such restriction.

Additionally, in such event, Tenant shall be bound to Lender under all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, and Lender shall, from and after Lender’s succession to the interests of Landlord under the Lease, have the same remedies against Tenant for the breach of any provision contained in the Lease that Landlord might have had under the Lease against Tenant if Lender had not acquired the interests of Landlord under the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges that Lender’s rights to any insurance awards or condemnation proceeds pursuant to the Deed of Trust shall govern over any conflicting provisions of the Lease.

7. Liability. Anything herein or in the Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that Lender shall have no obligation, nor incur any liability beyond the then-existing interests, if any, of Lender in the Leased Premises, and Tenant shall look exclusively to such interest of Lender in the Leased Premises for the payment and discharge of any obligations imposed upon Lender hereunder or under the Lease, and Lender is hereby released and relieved of any other liability hereunder and under the Lease. As regards Lender, Tenant shall look solely to the estate or interest owned by Lender in the Leased Premises and Tenant will not collect or attempt to collect any judgment out of any other assets of Lender. By executing this Agreement, Landlord specifically acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained in this Section 7 shall impair, limit, affect, lessen, abrogate or otherwise modify the obligations of Landlord to Tenant under the Lease.

8. Modification or Termination. Tenant agrees that, without the prior written consent of Lender, Tenant will not cancel, terminate or surrender, except at the normal expiration of the term of the Lease, the Lease or enter into any material agreement, material amendment or material modification of the Lease.

9. Further Assurances. So long as the Deed of Trust shall remain a lien upon the Property or any part thereof, Tenant, its successors or assigns or any other holder of the leasehold estate created by the Lease shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, upon Lender’s demand, at any time or times, any and all further subordinations, agreements or other instruments in recordable form reasonably sufficient for that purpose or that Lender, its successors or assigns may hereafter reasonably require for carrying out the purpose and intent of the foregoing covenants.

10. Notices. All notices of any kind which any party hereto may be required or may desire to serve on the other shall be deemed served upon personal delivery, or, if mailed, upon the first to occur of receipt or the expiration of 72 hours after deposit in United States Postal Service, certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed as follows:

11. Application. In making disbursements pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Lender is under no obligation or duty to, nor has Lender represented that it will, see to the application of such proceeds by the person or persons to whom Lender disburses such proceeds, and any application or use of such proceeds for purposes other than those provided for in the Loan Agreement shall not defeat the subordination herein made, in whole or in part.

12. Modification and Release.

14. Headings. The captions and headings of various sections of this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered as defining or limiting in any way the scope or intent of the provisions of this Agreement.

This Agreement may not be modified or amended except in writing signed by all parties hereto. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

16. Optional Advances.

Tenant will, at the request of Lender, execute and deliver, in recordable form, such subordinations, agreements, or other documents as Lender may deem necessary or desirable to make effective the subordinations set forth in this paragraph.

17. Binding Effect. This Agreement inures to the benefit of and binds Landlord, Tenant and Lender and their respective successors and assigns.

EXHIBIT J

PROPOSITION 13 PROTECTION

PROPOSITION 13 PROTECTION

1. Tenant’s Payment of Certain Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in the event, that, at any time after the date of the execution of this Lease, any sale, improvement, refinancing, or change in ownership of Shopping Center or any portion thereof is consummated, and as a result thereof, and to the extent that in connection therewith, the Shopping Center or any portion thereof is reassessed (the "Reassessment") for real estate tax purposes by the appropriate governmental authority pursuant to the terms of Proposition 13, then the terms of this Exhibit J shall apply to each such Reassessment of the Shopping Center or any portion thereof.

2. The Tax Increases. For purposes of this Exhibit J, the term "Tax Increase" shall mean that portion of the Property Taxes applicable to the Shopping Center, as calculated immediately following the Reassessment, which exceeds the initial assessment of the Shopping Center or any portion thereof and is not attributable to any reassessment occurring prior to the Reassessment. Accordingly, the term Tax Increase shall not include any portion of the Property Taxes applicable to the Shopping Center, as calculated immediately following the Reassessment, which (i) is attributable to the initial assessment of the value of the Shopping Center or any portion thereof, or any tenant improvement located in the Shopping Center or any portion thereof, (ii) is attributable to assessments which were pending immediately prior to the Reassessment which assessments were conducted during, and included in, such Reassessment, or which assessments were otherwise rendered unnecessary following the Reassessment, or (iii) is attributable to the annual inflationary increase to real estate taxes.

3. Landlord’s Right to Purchase the Proposition 13 Protection Amount Attributable to a Particular Reassessment. The amount of real property taxes which Tenant is not obligated to pay or will not be obligated to pay during the Lease Term (excluding any Option Period) in connection with a particular Reassessment pursuant to the terms of Article 17.1 of the Lease, shall be referred to hereafter as a “Proposition 13 Protection Amount.” If the occurrence of a Reassessment is reasonably foreseeable by Landlord and the Proposition 13 Protection Amount attributable to such Reassessment can be reasonably quantified or estimated for each Lease Year commencing with the Lease Year in which the Reassessment will occur, the term of this Section 3 shall apply to each such Reassessment. Upon notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to purchase the Proposition 13 Protection Amount relating to the applicable Reassessment (the "Applicable Reassessment"), at any time during the Lease term, by paying to Tenant an amount equal to the "Proposition 13 Purchase Price," as that term is defined below, provided that the right of any successor of Landlord to exercise its right of repurchase hereunder shall not apply to any Reassessment which results from the event pursuant to which such successor of Landlord became the Landlord under this Lease. As used herein, "Proposition 13 Purchase Price" shall mean the present value of the Proposition 13 Protection Amount remaining during the Lease Term, as of the date of payment of the Proposition 13 Purchase Price by Landlord. Such present value shall be calculated (i) by using the portion of the Proposition 13 Protection Amount attributable to each remaining Lease Year (as though the portion of such Proposition 13 Protection Amount benefitted Tenant at the end of each Lease Year), as the amounts to be discounted, and (ii) by using discount rates for each amount to be discounted equal to (A) the average rates of yield for United States Treasury Obligations with maturity dates as close as reasonably possible to the end of each Lease Year during which the portions of the Proposition 13 Protection Amount would have benefitted Tenant, which rates shall be those in effect as of Landlord’s exercise of right to purchase, as set forth in this Section 3, plus (B) two percent (2%) per annum. Since Landlord is estimating the Proposition 13 Purchase Price because a Reassessment has not yet occurred, then when such Reassessment occurs, if Landlord has underestimated the Proposition 13 Purchase Price, then upon notice by Landlord to Tenant, Tenant’s Rent next due shall be credited with the amount of such underestimation, and if Landlord overestimates the Proposition 13 Purchase Price, then upon notice by Landlord to Tenant, Rent next due shall be increased by the amount of the overestimation.

4. Tenant’s Obligation to Pay Tax Increase After Purchase.
