this Lease, Lessee shall have the right to enter upon the Leased Premises and,
at Lessee's sole cost and expense, proceed with due diligence to substantially

(a) Notice of Exercise. Lessee may exercise an Extension
Option by giving written notice of exercise to Lessor not less than six (6)
months and not more than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the
Initial Term hereof, or the then current Extended Term, as applicable. Time is
expressly declared to be of the essence with regard to Lessee's exercise of each
of the Extension Options. Lessee may only exercise one (1) Extension Option
pursuant to each election. In the event Lessee fails to timely exercise an
Extension Option pursuant to this Section 3.3(a), all subsequent Extension
Options shall immediately become null and void.
(b) Minimum Monthly Rent -- First Extended Term. In the
event Lessee exercises the First Extension Option, the amount of Minimum
Monthly Rent payable by Lessee to Lessor during the First Extended Term is set
forth in Section 4.2 hereof.
(c) Minimum Monthly Rent -- Second Extended Term/Third
Extended Term. In the event Lessee exercises either, or both, the Second
Extension Option and the Third Extension Option, the Minimum Monthly Rent
payable by Lessee to Lessor during the Second Extended Term and Third Extended
Term, as applicable, shall be adjusted to equal the Fair Market Rent, as
hereinafter defined, for the Leased Premises as of the date of the commencement
of both the Second Extended Term and Third Extended Term, as applicable,
pursuant to the procedures hereinafter set forth. The term "Fair Market Rent"
means the Minimum Monthly Rent payable for the Leased Premises based upon the
following factors applicable to the Leased Premises or any comparable premises:
(i) rental charges being charged for comparable premises in the same
geographical location; (ii) the relative locations of the comparable premises;
(iii) improvements or allowances provided for improvements, or improvements to
be provided; (iv) rental adjustments, if any, or rental concessions; (v)
services and utilities provided or to be provided; (vi) use limitations or
restrictions; (vii) any other relevant lease terms or conditions.
In no event, however, shall the Fair Market Rent be less than the
Minimum Monthly Rent in effect immediately prior to the commencement of both
the Second Extended Term and the Third Extended Term, as applicable. The Fair
Market Rent evaluation may include provisions for further rent adjustments
during the Second Extended Term and the Third Extended Term, as applicable,
provided, such adjustments are commonly required in the marketplace for similar
types of leases.
(d) Determination of Fair Market Rent. Upon the exercise
of either, or both, the Second Extension Option and the Third Extension Option,
and included within the notice of exercise, Lessee shall notify Lessor of its
opinion of Fair Market Rent payable during the Extended Term for which the
Extension Option is exercised. Lessor shall notify Lessee ("Lessor's Value
Notice") within thirty (30) days after receipt of Lessee's Notice of Exercise
of Lessor's approval or disapproval of Lessee's opinion of
6

the Fair Market Rent. In the event Lessor and Lessee are unable, after
exercising good faith efforts, to agree upon the Fair Market Rent payable by
Lessee to Lessor during either the Second Extended Term or the Third Extended
Term, as applicable, the respective Extension Option, Lessee's prior exercise
of such Extension Option, together with any unexercised Extension Options,
shall be null and void and of no further force or effect.
(e) Options Are Personal. The Extension Options granted
herein are personal to the Lessee, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Lease, the Extension Options are assignable or transferable
only in accordance with the provisions contained in Article 21 hereof. Lessor
grants the rights contained herein to Lessee in consideration of Lessee's
strict compliance with the provisions hereof, including, without limitation,
the manner of exercise of the Extension Options.
3.4 Anchor Tenant. In the event that Parcel 10 of the Shopping
Center, as more particularly described on the site plan attached hereto as
Exhibit "B" and incorporated herein by reference (occupied by Lucky's
Supermarket on the Effective Date of this Lease), is vacant for a period of
eighteen (18) or more consecutive calendar months during the Term ('Vacancy
Period"), and Lessor has not otherwise entered into a new lease with a new
anchor tenant to occupy Parcel 10 prior to the expiration of the Vacancy
Period, provided Lessee is not in default under this Lease, Lessee shall have
the right to terminate this Lease upon the terms and conditions set forth
herein ("Termination Right"). In the event Lessee desires to exercise its
Termination Right, Lessee must: (a) deliver to Lessor written notice of
exercise of the Termination Right on or before the expiration of thirty (30)
calendar days following the expiration of the Vacancy Period; and (b) in
conjunction with the delivery of the written notice of exercise of the
Termination Right described above, deliver to Lessor the amount of the Minimum
Monthly Rent which would have been payable by Lessee to Lessor pursuant to
Section 4.2 hereof (had Lessee not exercised the Termination Right), for the
twelve (12) month period immediately following the effective date of
termination of the Lease, together with all other amounts owing by Lessee to
Lessor pursuant to this Lease through the effective date of termination of this
Lease. In the event Lessee satisfies the conditions precedent for the exercise
of the Termination Right as described above, the effective date of termination
of this Lease shall be the date specified in Lessee's written notice provided,
however, in no event shall such date be prior to the expiration of thirty (30)
calendar days following the expiration of the Vacancy Period.
ARTICLE 4
MINIMUM MONTHLY RENT
4.1 Payment. During the time period commencing on the Rent
Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Lease Term, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor at the address specified in Section 1.2 hereof, or at such other place
as Lessor
7
------------- -----------
Lessor's Lessee's
Initials Initials

may otherwise designate in writing from time to time, "Minimum Monthly Rent"
for the Leased Premises, in the amount specified in Section 1.6 hereof, subject
to adjustment in accordance with the "Rent Adjustment Schedule" set forth in
Section 4.2 hereof. Minimum Monthly Rent shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor
in advance on the first day of each month during the Lease Term. If the Rent
Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first day of the month,
Minimum Monthly Rent for such month shall be prorated and shall be payable by
Lessee to Lessor on the Rent Commencement Date. All payments of Minimum
Monthly Rent shall be in lawful money of the United States, and shall be
payable without deduction, offset, counter-claim, prior notice or demand.
4.2 Rent Adjustment Schedule. The amount of Minimum Monthly Rent
payable by Lessee to Lessor shall be automatically increased without prior
notice or demand, in accordance with the following schedule ("Rent Adjustment
Schedule"). For all purposes under this Lease, the term "Lease Year" shall
mean the twelve (12) month period beginning with the Rent Commencement Date and
each consecutive twelve (12) month period thereafter during the Lease Term:
LEASE YEAR MINIMUM MONTHLY RENT
---------- --------------------
1 $5,655.00
2 $6,107.40
3 $6,559.80
4-5 $7,012.20
6-10 $7,328.88
(First Extended Term) Subject to an Index Adjustment, as
hereinafter, defined, in accordance with
the provisions of Section 4.3 below.)
11-15 (Fair Market Rent determined in
(Second Extended Term) accordance with the provisions of
Section 3.3(c) hereof.)
16-20 (Fair Market Rent determined in
(Third Extended Term) accordance with the provisions of
Section 3.3(c) hereof.)
4.3 Index Adjustment. In the event Lessee exercises the First
Extension Option and, if applicable, the Second Extension Option, the amount of
Minimum
8
12
Monthly Rent payable by Lessee to Lessor shall be increased annually commencing
as of the end of the sixth (6th) Lease year during the Lease Term ("Adjustment
Date"). The increase in the amount of Minimum Monthly Rent shall be based upon
the increase in the Index. On each Adjustment Date, the Minimum Monthly Rent
shall be increased by a percentage equal to the percentage increase in the most
recent Index in publication prior to the Adjustment Date over the most recent
Index in publication prior to the previous Adjustment Date. In no event,
however, shall the Minimum Monthly Rent be increased less than two and one-half
percent (2.5%) or more than seven percent (7%) over the Minimum Monthly Rent in
effect prior to the applicable Adjustment Date. Lessor shall give written
notice to Lessee specifying the increase in the amount of Minimum Monthly Rent
and the manner in which such increase was calculated by Lessor. Lessor's
notice may be given after the effective date of any such increase by virtue of
the fact that the Index for the appropriate month may be unavailable on such
effective date, or for other reasons. In such event, Lessee shall pay Minimum
Monthly Rent in the amount applicable to the previous Lease Year until such
time as Lessor delivers to Lessee its written notice. Upon receipt of such
written notice, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, within ten (10) days after the date
of receipt of such notice, the total amount of the adjustment to Minimum
Monthly Rent for the months elapsed between the effective date of the increase
and the date of receipt of Lessor's notice ("Index Adjustment").
ARTICLE 5
ADDITIONAL RENT
5.1 Additional Rent. All charges and other monetary sums payable
by Lessee to Lessor pursuant to this Lease, other than Minimum Monthly Rent,
are referred to as "Additional Rent." Unless this Lease expressly provides
otherwise, all Additional Rent shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor concurrently
with the payment of the next installment of Minimum Monthly Rent. All
references in this Lease to the term "rent" shall mean Minimum Monthly Rent,
Additional Rent and any other monetary obligation payable by Lessee to Lessor
pursuant to this Lease.
5.2 Late Charges. Lessee acknowledges that late payment by Lessee
to Lessor of rent or any other payment due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur
costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being
extremely difficult and impractical to fix. Such costs include, without
limitation, processing and accounting charges, and late charges that may be
imposed on Lessor by the terms of any encumbrance and note secured by any
encumbrance covering the Leased Premises. Therefore, if any installment of
rent is not received by Lessor within ten (10) calendar days from the date when
such payment was due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as a late charge, an
additional sum of five percent (5%) of such rent or other charge. The parties
agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the
cost that Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of
any late charge
9
------------- -----------
Lessor's Lessee's
Initials Initials
13
shall not constitute a waiver of Lessee's default with respect to the overdue
amount, or prevent Lessor from exercising any other rights or remedies
available to Lessor.
5.3 Interest. Any amount due from Lessee to Lessor under this
Lease (exclusive of any late charges that may be owing pursuant to Section 5.2
hereof), which is not paid within ten (10) calendar days from the date such
payment was due, shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum
or the maximum rate allowable by law, whichever is less, from the date
originally due until paid.
5.4 Accord and Satisfaction. No payment by Lessee or receipt by
Lessor of a lesser amount of Minimum Monthly Rent, Additional Rent or any rent
due hereunder, shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest due
rent or payment, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any
letter accompanying any such check or payment be deemed an accord and
satisfaction, and Lessor may accept such check or payment without prejudice to
Lessor's right to recover the balance of such rent or payment or pursue any
other remedy available in this Lease, at law or in equity. Lessor may accept
any partial payment from Lessee without invalidation of any contractual notice
required to be given herein (to the extent such contractual notice is required)
and without invalidation of any notice required to be given pursuant to
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161, et seq., or of any successor
statute thereto.
ARTICLE 6
USE
6.1 Permitted Use. As an express and material consideration to
Lessor for entering into this Lease, Lessee agrees that the Leased Premises
shall be used for the purpose specified in Section 1.4 hereof and for no other
purpose. Lessee shall not use, or permit the Leased Premises, or any part
thereof, to be used, for any purpose or purposes other than the purpose stated
hereinabove, without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Without in any way limiting Lessor's
right to refuse to give such consent for any other reason or reasons, Lessor
reserves the right to refuse to give such consent, and Lessee agrees that it
would not be commercially unreasonable to withhold consent, if in Lessor's
reasonable business judgement such proposed new use would (a) violate any
restriction or exclusive right given in, or be contrary to, any lease in the
Shopping Center; (b) violate any restriction contained in the Declaration; (c)
increase the risk of the use, release or mishandling of Hazardous Materials; or
(d) result in a decrease in the amount of rent reasonably expected to be paid
to Lessor hereunder.
6.2 Exclusivity. During the Term of this Lease, and provided
Lessee is not in default under this Lease, Lessor shall not enter into a lease
agreement or approve any proposed sublease agreement which would entitle any
person or entity to operate a federal or state chartered, full service retail
bank facility during the Term of this Lease.

6.3 Compliance with Laws. Lessee shall, at its own cost and
expense, promptly and properly comply with all existing orders, laws and lawful
requirements whatsoever of all governmental entities relating to the operation
of Lessee's business on the Leased Premises during the Lease Term. Lessee
shall have the right to contest or review by legal procedure, at its own
expense, any such orders, laws and lawful requirements, provided that Lessor's
title to the Leased Premises is not by any means subjected to forfeiture. Any
such proceedings shall be conducted promptly and shall include, if Lessee so
decides, appropriate appeal. Whenever such requirements become final after a
contest, Lessee shall within a reasonable time comply therewith.
6.4 Abandonment. Lessee shall not vacate nor abandon the Leased
Premises at any time during the Lease Term, nor permit the Leased Premises to
remain unoccupied for a period longer than six (6) consecutive months during
the Lease Term. If Lessee shall abandon, vacate or surrender the Leased
Premises, or be dispossessed by process of law, or otherwise, in addition to
any other rights and remedies available to Lessor, any personal property
belonging to Lessee and remaining on the Leased Premises after such six (6)
month period shall, at the option of Lessor, be deemed abandoned.
ARTICLE 7
SECURITY DEPOSIT
7.1 Payment on Lease Execution. On the Effective Date, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor the sum specified in Section 1.7 hereof ("Security
Deposit"). In the event Lessee fails to pay any item of rent when due
hereunder or otherwise defaults with respect to any other covenant or
obligation of Lessee under this Lease, in addition to any other rights and
remedies of Lessor pursuant to this Lease, Lessor may use or retain all or any
part of the Security Deposit for the payment of rent or other charges in
default or for the payment of any other sum to which Lessor may become
obligated by reason of Lessee's default, or to compensate Lessor for any loss
or damage which Lessor may suffer thereby. Lessor may retain such portion of
the Security Deposit as it reasonably deems necessary to restore or clean the
Leased Premises following vacation by Lessee. The Security Deposit is not
characterized as rent until and unless so applied in respect of a default by
Lessee.
7.2 Restoration of Security Deposit. If Lessor elects to use or
apply all or any portion of the Security Deposit as provided in Section 7.1
hereof, within ten (10) days after receipt by Lessee of written demand
therefor, Lessee shall pay to Lessor in cash an amount equal to that portion of
the Security Deposit used or applied by Lessor, and Lessee's failure to so do
shall be a material breach of this Lease.
7.3 Nature of Security Deposit. Lessor's obligation with respect
to the Security Deposit is that of a debtor and not a trustee. Consequently,
all such sums held
11
------------- -----------
Lessor's Lessee's
Initials Initials
15
as the Security Deposit may be commingled with other funds of Lessor, and no
interest shall accrue thereon. In the event of the sale of all or any portion
of the Leased Premises, Lessor shall pay over to Lessor's successor in interest
the sums held as a Security Deposit and notify Lessee in writing, setting forth
the details of such transfer including, the successor's name and address. Upon
such written notification, Lessee shall have no further claim against Lessor
with respect to said Security Deposit and hereby waives all rights against
Lessor in that regard.
ARTICLE 8
PROMOTIONAL PROGRAM; MERCHANT'S ASSOCIATION
8.1 Lessor's Program. Lessor, at Lessor's election, may conduct,
or cause to be conducted from time to time, an advertising, promotional and
public relations program for the general purpose of furthering the interest of
all tenants in the Shopping Center. In the event Lessor elects to conduct such
a program, Lessor shall determine in its sole discretion the composition and
manner of implementation of such program. In the event Lessor elects to
implement such a program, each month Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as Additional
Rent, Lessee's proportionate share of the costs of such program, but in no
event shall Lessee's proportionate share of such costs be more than Two
Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00) per Lease Year. Lessee's
proportionate share shall be determined based upon an allocation formula
approved by Lessor. Lessee's contribution to such program shall be paid by
Lessee to Lessor on a monthly basis, or in such other intervals specified in
Lessor's written notice. Lessor, in its sole discretion, may elect to
terminate such program at any time and refund all unexpended proceeds.
In the event Lessor does incur such promotional expenses chargeable to
Lessee, Lessor shall provide Lessee with an itemization of all promotional
expenses incurred and a computation of Lessee's proportionate share of the
costs of such program.
8.2 Merchant's Association. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 8.1, Lessee hereby agrees to and shall become a member of any
Merchants' Association of the tenants and/or occupants of the Shopping Center,
whether such Merchants' Association exists at the Rent Commencement Date of
this Lease or shall be subsequently formed. Lessee shall maintain its
membership in good standing throughout the Lease Term. Lessee hereby agrees to
abide by the by-laws, rules and regulations of such Merchants' Association, and
further agrees to pay within ten (10) days from receipt of a billing therefor,
Lessee's proportionate share of the promotional and other expenses of such
Merchants' Association which are allocable to the lessees of the Shopping
Center in accordance with the Merchants' Association by-laws from time to time
in force and effect. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessor, its
employees, servants or agents, shall have no liability for any acts or failure
to act of the Merchants' Association, and Lessee shall not assert any claim for
injury or damages

Commencement Date and continuing thereafter throughout the Lease Term, Lessee
shall pay directly to Lessor, in installments as set forth in Section 9.5
hereof, all Real Property Taxes arising under this Section 9.1. "Real Property
Taxes" as used in this Lease shall include all real property taxes and
assessments, special or general, improvement bonds, special district
obligations or bonds, or other taxes or assessments applicable to the Leased
Premises and any other assessments, levies, fees or charges, general and
special, ordinary and extraordinary, unforeseen and foreseen (including fees
in-lieu of any tax or assessment) that are assessed, levied, charged,
confirmed, or imposed by any public authority upon the Leased Premises,
together with all increases thereto, whether the increases result from an

or otherwise. "Real Property Taxes" also shall include, without limitation,
any tax, assessment, excise, surcharge, fee, levy, penalty, bond or similar
imposition (hereinafter collectively referred to as "impositions") on Lessor's
right to rent from the Leased Premises or as against Lessor's business of
leasing the Leased Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained
in this Lease will require Lessee to pay any income, profits or revenue tax or
charge on the net income of Lessor.
9.2 Right to Contest Real Property Taxes. Lessee, at its sole
cost and expense, shall have the right, at any time, to seek a reduction in the
assessed valuation of the Leased Premises or to contest any Real Property Taxes
that are to be paid by Lessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee must
continue to pay directly to Lessor all Real Property Taxes arising under Section
9.1 hereof, and Lessor shall credit any and all overpayments of Real Property
Taxes resulting from a final determination in favor of Lessee in accordance with
the provisions contained in Section 9.5 hereof.
Lessor shall not be required to join in any proceeding or contest
brought by Lessee unless the provisions of any law require that the proceeding
or contest be brought by or in the name of Lessor or any owner of the Leased
Premises. In that case, Lessor shall join in the proceeding or contest to
permit it to be brought in Lessor's name as long as Lessor is not required to
bear any cost.

and statutory interest, shall be included within the computation of Real
Property Taxes for which Lessee is responsible hereunder.
9.4 Substitute and Additional Taxes. Lessee shall not be required
to pay any municipal, county, state or federal income or franchise taxes of
Lessor, or any municipal, county, state, or federal estate, succession,
inheritance, or transfer taxes of Lessor. If at any time the State of
California or any political subdivision of the state, including any county,
city, public corporation, district, or any other political entity or public
corporation of this state, levies or assesses against Lessor a tax, fee, or
excise on the (a) rents, (b) square footage of the Leased Premises, (c) act of
entering into this Lease, or (d) occupancy of the Leased Premises by Lessee, or
levies or assesses against Lessor any other tax, fee or excise, however
described, including, without limitation, a so-called value-added tax, as a
direct substitution in whole or in part for, or in addition to, any Real
Property Taxes, Lessee shall pay that tax, fee or excise, in accordance with
the provisions of Sections 9.1 and 9.5 hereof. Lessee's share of any such tax,
fee or excise shall be substantially the same as Lessee's share of Real
Property Taxes as provided in this Lease.
9.5 Estimated Payments. Lessor shall estimate the amount of Real
Property Taxes next due and collect from Lessee as Additional Rent the amount
of Lessee's estimated tax obligation. Lessee shall pay such estimated payments
to Lessor in equal monthly installments, in advance, concurrently with the
payment of Minimum Monthly Rent. On an annual basis, Lessor shall provide
Lessee with a reconciliation of Lessee's account with respect to such estimated
tax payments. In the event it is established upon such reconciliation that
Lessee has not paid sufficient amount in estimated tax payments to cover
Lessee's share for the year in question, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the full
amount of any such deficit within ten (10) days of date of billing. If it is
established that Lessee has made an overpayment of its tax obligation upon such
reconciliation, Lessee shall receive, at Lessor's option, either a credit
applicable to the next ensuing estimated tax payments, or a credit to a tax
reserve account to be held by Lessor for application to sums due in respect of
reassessment or escape assessments applicable to the period in question, but
yet to be billed.
9.6 Personal Property Taxes. Lessee shall pay prior to
delinquency all taxes assessed against and levied upon all Furnishings of
Lessee contained on the Leased Premises. When possible, Lessee shall cause
such Furnishings to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of
Lessor. If any of Lessee's Furnishings shall be assessed with Lessor's real
property, Lessee shall pay Lessor the amount of all such personal property
taxes attributable to Lessee within ten (10) days after receipt of a written
statement setting forth the personal property taxes applicable to Lessee's
property.

10.1 Definition of Common Area. The term "Common Areas" as used
herein means all areas and facilities within the exterior boundaries of the
Shopping Center (inclusive of the Leased Premises), that are provided and
designated by Lessor from time to time for the general use and convenience of
Lessee and of other tenants of Lessor having the common use of such areas, and
their respective authorized representatives and invitees. Common Areas
include, without limitation, all driveways, roadways, parking areas, sidewalks,
signs, lighting, Common Utility Facilities, as said term is hereinafter
defined, landscaped areas located within the Shopping Center (inclusive of the
Leased Premises), all as generally depicted on the Site Plan of the Shopping
Center attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
10.2 Maintenance of Common Areas. The parties hereby acknowledge
that the Common Areas are currently maintained by the "Manager" of the Shopping
Center (who is currently Lessor), as designated in the Declaration. As the
Manager, Lessor shall, consistent with the Declaration, maintain the Common
Areas, establish and enforce reasonable rules and regulations concerning such
areas, close any of the Common Areas to whatever extent required in the opinion
of Lessor's counsel to prevent a dedication of any of the Common Areas or the
accrual of any rights of any person or of the public to the Common Areas, close
temporarily any of the Common Areas for maintenance purposes, and make changes
to the Common Areas including, without limitation, changes in the location of
driveways, entrances, exits, vehicular parking spaces, parking areas, the
designation of areas for the exclusive use of others, the direction of the flow
of traffic or construction of additional buildings thereupon. Lessor reserves
the right to maintain the Common Area as set forth in this Section 10.2 without
providing prior notice to Lessee. In connection with the performance by Lessor
of its maintenance activities pursuant to this Article 10, Lessor agrees to use
best efforts to minimize any obstruction, interference or blockage of the
Leased Premises. Lessee hereby acknowledges that Lessor, in its capacity as
Manager or otherwise, is under no obligation to provide security for the Common
Areas but may do so at its option.
10.3 Payment by Lessee. Within ten (10) days of receiving a xxxx
therefor from Lessor, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as Additional Rent, its
proportionate share of Common Area Costs, as hereinafter defined, which arise
or accrue during the Lease Term. Lessee's proportionate share shall be the
percentage amount (which is currently 3.3%) applicable to the Leased Premises
as set forth in Article IV, Section 5(e) of the Declaration, as the same may be
modified from time to time. Lessor may xxxx Lessee estimated charges in
accordance with Section 10.5 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee's
proportionate share as to certain expenses included in Common Area Costs may be
calculated differently to yield a higher percentage share for Lessee as to
certain expenses in the event Lessor permits other tenants or other occupants
in the Shopping Center to incur such expenses directly rather than have Lessor
incur the expense in common for the Shopping Center. In any case where Lessee,
with Lessor's
15
------------- -----------
Lessor's Lessee's
Initials Initials
19
consent, incurs such expenses directly, Lessee's proportionate share of Common
Area Costs will be calculated specially so that expenses of the same character
which are incurred by Lessor for the benefit of other tenants or other
occupants of the Shopping Center shall not be prorated to Lessee. Nothing
herein shall imply that Lessor will permit Lessee or any other tenant or
occupant of the Shopping Center to incur Common Area Costs. Any such
permission shall be in the sole discretion of Lessor, which Lessor may grant or
withhold in its arbitrary judgment.
10.4 Definition of Common Area Costs. Common Area Costs shall
include, without limitation, all reasonable sums expended and costs incurred in
connection with the Common Areas for (a) maintenance, landscaping, pest
control, lighting, cleaning, trash removal for the Common Areas, painting,
restriping, repaving, resurfacing, sweeping, security, fire protection,
sprinkler and irrigation systems, maintenance and repair of sidewalks, curbs
and signs including, without limitation, all sums payable pursuant to that
certain Lease, dated March 1, 1989, by and between Bedford Development Company
and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, as the same may be
amended or modified from time to time; (b) operating, managing, policing,
insuring, repairing and maintaining the Common Areas including, without
limitation, an administrative fee equal to fifteen percent (15%) of such Common
Area Costs; (c) operating, insuring, repairing, replacing and maintaining the
"Common Utility Facilities" defined to include, but not limited to, sanitary
sewer lines and systems, gas lines and systems, water lines and systems, fire
protection lines and systems, electric power, telephone and communication main
lines and systems, storm drainage and retention facilities and all other
utility main lines and systems not exclusively serving the premises of any
specific tenant; (d) parking charges, surcharges and other levies, assessments,
or any other costs imposed or assessed by any local, state or federal
government agencies in connection with the use of the parking facilities and/or
the Common Utility Facilities; (e) depreciation and maintenance on operating
machinery and equipment (if owned) and rental paid for such machinery and
equipment (if rented) which machinery and equipment is used solely for the
operation and maintenance of the Common Areas; and (g) public liability and
property damage insurance on the Common Areas and Common Utility Facilities,
fire with extended coverage insurance with vandalism and malicious mischief
endorsements with, at Lessor's option, earthquake damage and/or hazardous waste
endorsements and any additional coverages required pursuant to Article 15
hereof. Common Area Costs shall also include a portion of all "capital costs"
representing any costs of capital improvements made by Lessor to the Common
Areas for the purpose of reducing recurring expenses or utility costs and from
which Lessee can expect a reasonable benefit, or that are mandated or required
by any governmental law, ordinance, regulation or mandate, not applicable to
the Shopping Center at the time of the original construction. The portion
thereof to be included each year in Common Area Costs shall be that fraction
allocable to the calendar year in question calculated by amortizing the cost
over the reasonable useful life of such improvement, as determined by Lessor,
with interest on the unamortized balance at ten percent (10%) per annum, or
such higher rate as may have
16
------------- -----------

Initials Initials
20
been paid by Lessor for funds borrowed for the purpose of constructing or
installing such improvements, but in no event to exceed the highest rate
permissible by law.
10.5 Estimated Payments. Lessor shall have the right, at its
option, to estimate Lessee's proportionate share of Common Area Costs due in
the future from Lessee and to collect from Lessee on a monthly basis, as
Additional Rent, the amount of Lessee's estimated proportionate share of such
Common Area Costs. In such a case, Lessee shall pay such estimated payments to
Lessor in equal monthly installments, in advance, concurrently with the payment
of Minimum Monthly Rent. Lessor shall provide Lessee with an itemization of
all Common Area Costs incurred together with a reconciliation of Lessee's
account at least annually, and if such reconciliation shall indicate that
Lessee's account is insufficient to satisfy Lessee's proportionate share of
Common Area Costs for the period estimated, Lessee shall immediately pay to
Lessor any deficiency. Any excess in such account indicated by the
reconciliation shall be credited to Lessee's account to reduce the estimated
payments for the next ensuing period.

exterior surface of the exterior walls or maintain the windows, doors or plate
glass or the interior surface of exterior walls. Lessor shall not have any
obligation to make any repairs until Lessor receives written notice of the need
for such repairs. It is the intention of Lessor and Lessee that the terms of
this Lease govern the respective obligations of the Parties as to maintenance
and repair of the Leased Premises. The provisions of this Section 11.3 shall
not apply in the event of any damage or destruction to the Leased Premises as
described in Article 18 hereof, in which event the obligations of Lessor shall
be governed by the provisions of such Article.
11.4 Lessor's Rights. If Lessee fails to perform Lessee's
obligations under Sections 11.1 or 11.2 hereof, or under any other section of
this Lease, Lessor may, at its option (but shall not be required to), enter
upon the Leased Premises after ten (10) days prior written notice to Lessee
(except in the case of an emergency, in which no notice shall be required),
perform any of Lessee's obligations on Lessee's behalf, and the cost thereof,
together with interest thereon at maximum rate then allowable by law, shall
become due and payable as Additional Rent to Lessor, together with Lessee's
next rent installment.
11.5 Lessee's Waiver. Except as provided in Section 11.3 hereof,
Lessor has no obligation, in any manner whatsoever, to maintain or repair the
Leased Premises or any portion thereof (including any Furnishings therein).
Lessee hereby waives the right to make repairs at Lessor's expense under
provisions of Section 1941 and 1942 of the Civil Code of California. Lessee's
obligations under this Section 11.5 shall survive the termination of this Lease

Alterations.
12.3 Liens. Lessee shall keep the Leased Premises and the Shopping
Center in which the Leased Premises are situated, free from any liens arising
out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by
Lessee. In the event a mechanic's or other lien is filed against the Leased
Premises or the Shopping Center as a result of a claim arising through Lessee,
Lessor may demand that Lessee furnish to Lessor a surety bond satisfactory to
Lessor in an amount equal to the amount of the contested lien claim or demand,
indemnifying Lessor against liability for the same and holding the property
free from the effect of such lien or claim. Such bond must be posted within

(b) Liability Insurance. From the Effective Date hereof
and throughout the Lease Term, Lessee shall maintain worker's compensation
insurance and comprehensive public liability insurance with respect to the
Leased Premises, all liabilities and obligations assumed or undertaken by
Lessee pursuant to this Lease, adequate to protect Lessor as Lessor shall
reasonably determine. All insurance policies (excluding worker's compensation)
shall name as an additional insured Lessor and its lenders, and shall expressly
provide that the interest of Lessor therein shall not be affected by any breach
by Lessee of any policy provisions. Initially, such policy of liability
insurance shall be in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)
combined single limit for both bodily injury and property damage. The amounts
of such public liability insurance shall be increased from time to time, as
Lessor may reasonably determine, provided such increases shall be consistent
with industry standards.

hereof and throughout the Lease Term, Lessee shall maintain in force and effect
a policy or policies of all risk contents insurance, with respect to Lessee's

hereunder shall be obtained upon an "occurrence" basis and not as "claims made"

of Lessee shall be written as primary policies, not contributing with and not
in excess of coverage which Lessor may carry. With regard to the policies
described in Sections 15.2(b) and (c) above, all such policies shall contain a
provision that Lessor, and its lenders, although additional insureds, shall
nevertheless be named as loss payees and be entitled to recover under said
policies for any loss occasioned to it, its employees, agents, contractors,
invitees and licensees by reason of the negligence of Lessee, its employees,
agents, contractors, invitees and licensees. Lessee shall furnish Lessor with
a certificate of insurance with attached endorsements with respect to all such
policies prior to Lessee's entry into the Leased Premises. Such policies shall
be secured from insurance companies with a Best's rating of A or better and
provide by endorsement that they may not be canceled or altered without at
least ten (10) days' prior written notice delivered by the insurer to Lessor
and its lenders.
(e) Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, Lessee
may self-insure any of its insurance coverage obligations as set forth in
Sections 15.2(b) and (c) hereof, so long as Tenant's net worth is in excess of
Sixteen Million Dollars ($16,000,000.00), as evidenced by recent audited
financial statements provided to Lessor by Lessee's accountants, as computed in
accordance with generally-accepted accounting principles. Prior to Lessee's
electing to self-insure (Lessee does not

27
presently self-insure), it must provide Lessor with written notice thereof
accompanied by copies of its most recent audited financial statements, which
information shall be provided to Lessor on an annual basis. At any time that
Lessee's net worth falls below the above required amount, Lessee must promptly
obtain the necessary insurance policies required hereunder.
15.3 Waiver of Subrogation. Lessor and Lessee hereby release and
relieve each other from liability and waive all right to recover against each
other for any loss or damage arising out of or incident to the perils covered
under their respective policies of insurance, which perils occur in, on or
about the Premises, due to the negligence of Lessor or Lessee or their
respective agents, employees, contractors and/or invitees. Lessor and Lessee
shall, upon obtaining the policies of insurance required under this Lease, give
notice to their respective insurance carrier(s) that the foregoing mutual
waiver of subrogation is contained in this Lease, and shall provide to the
other appropriate endorsements of such waiver from the insurers.
15.4 Hazardous Uses. Should any use of the Leased Premises by
Lessee, or any acts done in conjunction therewith, increase the rate of
insurance above that for the least hazardous retail use in the Shopping Center,
said increased premium costs shall be borne exclusively by Lessee. Lessee
shall not engage in any activities or permit to be kept, used, or sold in or
about the Leased Premises, any article which may be prohibited by the standard
form of fire insurance policies. Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense,
comply with any and all requirements pertaining to the Leased Premises or any

21.2 "Transfer of the Leased Premises" Defined. The terms
"Transfer of the Leased Premises" or "Transfer" as used herein shall include
any assignment of all or any part this Lease (including assignment by operation
of law), the subletting of all or any part the Leased Premises or transfer of
possession, or right of possession or contingent right of possession of all or
any portion of the Leased Premises including, without limitation, concession,
mortgage, devise, hypothecation, agency, franchise or management agreement, or
to suffer any other person the agents and servants of Lessee excepted), to
occupy or use the said Leased Premises or any portion thereof. If Lessee is a
corporation which is not deemed a public corporation, or is an unincorporated
association or partnership, or Lessee consists of more than one party, the
transfer, assignment or hypothecation of any stock or equity interest in such
corporation, association, partnership or other ownership interest, whether in
one transaction or in a series of transactions, in the aggregate in excess of
fifty percent (50%) of the total interests in such entity, shall be deemed a
Transfer of the Leased Premises.
21.3 No Transfer Without Consent. Lessee shall not suffer a
Transfer of the Leased Premises or any interest therein, or any part thereof,
or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto without the prior written consent
of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. A consent by
Lessor to one Transfer of the Leased Premises shall not be deemed to be a
consent to any subsequent Transfer of the Leased Premises. Any Transfer of the
Leased Premises without such consent shall be void, and shall, at the option of
Lessor, terminate this Lease.
21.4 When Consent Withheld. Without in any way limiting Lessor's
right to refuse to give consent to any proposed Transfer of the Leased Premises
for any other reason or reasons, Lessor reserves the right to refuse to give
such consent, and Lessee agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable
to withhold consent, if in Lessor's reasonable business judgement the proposed
Transfer of the Leased Premises would (a) violate any restriction or exclusive
right given in, or be contrary to, any lease in the Shopping Center; (b)
violate any restriction contained in the Declaration; or (c) increase the risk
of the use, release or mishandling of Hazardous Materials. Lessor shall
require a reasonable payment, including attorneys' fees, to cover its handling
charges for each assignment or sublease it is requested to approve.
21.5 Effect of Transfer. If Lessor consents to a Transfer, the
following conditions shall apply:
(a) Each and every covenant, condition or obligation
imposed upon Lessee by this Lease and each and every right, remedy or benefit
afforded Lessor by this Lease shall not be impaired or diminished as a result
of such Transfer.

Initials Initials
36
(b) No Transfer, whether or not consent of Lessor is
required hereunder, shall relieve Lessee of it primary obligation to pay the
rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Lessee hereunder.
The acceptance of rent by Lessor from any person shall not be deemed to be a
waiver by Lessor of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any
Transfer of the Leased Premises.
(c) If Lessor consents to a sublease, such sublease shall
not exceed beyond the expiration of the Lease Term, to include any and all
Extended Terms.
(d) No Transfer shall be valid and no transferee shall
take possession of the Leased Premises or any part thereof unless, within ten
(10) days after the execution of the documentary evidence thereof, Lessee shall
deliver to Lessor an agreement which provides that (i) the transferee assumes
Lessee's obligations for the payment of rent and for the full and faithful
observance and performance of the covenants, terms and conditions contained
herein, and (ii) such transferee will, at Lessor's election, attorn directly to
Lessor in the event Lessee's Lease is terminated for any reason on the terms
set forth in the instrument of transfer.

of the Leased Premises by Lessee, or in the event that Lessor shall elect to
reenter the Leased Premises as provided in Section 22.3 below, or shall take
possession of the Leased Premises pursuant to legal proceeding or pursuant to
any notice provided by law, so long as Lessor does not elect to terminate this
Lease as provided in Section 22.2(b) below, Lessor may from time to time,
without terminating this Lease, either recover all rent as it becomes due or
relet the Leased Premises or any part thereof for such terms and at such rental
or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Lessor in its sole
discretion, may deem advisable and, in connection therewith, Lessor shall also
have the right to make any alterations and repairs to the Leased Premises.
(2) In the event that Lessor shall elect to so
relet, then rentals received by Lessor from such reletting shall be applied:
first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from
Lessee to Lessor; second, to the payment of any cost of such reletting; third,
to the payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to the Leased
Premises; fourth, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the
residue, if any, shall be held by Lessor and applied in payment of future rent
as the same may become due and payable hereunder. Should that portion of such
rentals received from such reletting during any month which is applied by the
payment of rent hereunder, be less than the rent payable during the month by
Lessee hereunder, then Lessee shall pay such deficiency to Lessor immediately
upon demand therefor by Lessor. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid
monthly. Lessee shall also pay to Lessor as soon as ascertained, any costs and
expenses incurred by Lessor in such reletting or in making such alterations and
repairs not covered by the rentals received from such subletting.
(3) No reentry or taking possession of the Leased
Premises or any other action under this Section 22.2(a) shall be construed as
an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention
be given to Lessee or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of
competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting without terminating by
Lessor because of any default by Lessee, Lessor may at any time after such
reletting elect to terminate this Lease for any such default.

(b) Terminate Lease. Lessor, either as an alternative or
subsequent to exercising the remedies set forth in Section 22.2(a) hereof, may
terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Leased Premises by and upon
delivery to Lessee of written notice of termination. Lessor may then
immediately re-enter the Leased Premises and take possession thereof pursuant
to legal proceedings and remove all persons and property from the Leased
Premises. Such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or
elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Lessee. No notice of
termination shall be necessary in the event Lessee has abandoned the Leased
Premises. In the event that Lessor shall elect to so terminate Lessee's right
of possession, then Lessor may recover from Lessee:
(1) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid
rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus
(2) The worth at the time of award of the amount
by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until
the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss Lessee proves could
have been reasonably avoided; plus
(3) 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 Lessee proves could be reasonably
avoided; plus
(4) Any other amount necessary to compensate
Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by Lessee's failure to perform
its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of events
would be likely to result therefrom including, without limitation, expenses of
reletting, attorneys' fees, costs of alterations and repairs, recording fees,
filing fees and any other expenses customarily resulting from obtaining
possession of the Leased Premises and re-leasing; and
(5) At Lessor's election, such other amounts in
addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time
by applicable law.
As used in Sections 22.2(b)(1) and 22.2(b)(2) above, the "worth at the
time of award" is computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent
(10%) per annum. As used in Section 22.2(a)(3) above, the "worth at the time
of award" is computed by discounting such amount at the rate of the Federal
Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award plus one percent (1%).
22.3 Reentry; Personal Property.
(a) In the event of any default by Lessee, Lessor shall
also have the right with or without terminating this Lease, to reenter the
Leased Premises and remove all persons and property from the Leased Premises;
such property may be removed
35

and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the
account of Lessee.
(b) In the event of default, all of Lessee's Furnishings
and Alterations, shall remain upon the Leased Premises and in that event, and
continuing during the length of such default, Lessor shall have the sole right
to take exclusive possession of such property and to use it, rent or charge
free, until all defaults are cured or, at Lessor's option, at any time during
the Lease Term, to require Lessee to forthwith remove such property. The
rights stated herein are in addition to Lessor's rights described in Section
22.2 hereof.
22.4 Lessor's Rights Cumulative. All of Lessor's rights and
remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise of one shall not preclude the
exercise of any other or of any right, priority or remedy allowed or provided
for by law or in equity. In addition to all rights and remedies herein set
forth, Lessor shall have all rights and remedies now or hereafter provided by
applicable law, including those contained in California Civil Code Section
1951.4. Lessee hereby waives trial by jury. If Lessor commences any summary
proceedings or an action for nonpayment of rent, Lessee shall not interpose any
non-mandatory counterclaim of any nature or description in any such proceedings
or action. Nothing in this Article 25 shall be deemed to affect or limit
Lessor's or Lessee's right to defense and indemnification for liability or
liabilities arising in whole or in part prior to the termination of this Lease
for personal injuries or property damage under the indemnification clause or
clauses contained in this Lease. In addition to the other remedies provided
for in this Lease, Lessor shall be entitled to injunctive relief in case of the
violation, or attempted or threatened violation, of any covenant, agreement,
condition or provision of this Lease and to a decree compelling performance of
any covenant, agreement, condition or provision of this Lease and to any other
remedy allowed to Lessor hereunder, at law or in equity.
22.5 Lessee's Default. In the event Lessee shall default in the
payment of any costs, charges, expenses or impositions to be paid by Lessee or
in the performance of any act or condition to be performed by Lessee, Lessor
may, after ten (10) calendar days' written notice to Lessee (or such shorter
period as may be appropriate in an emergency), at Lessor's sole discretion (but
shall not be required to) pay such charge or perform such act without in any
way waiving Lessor's rights against Lessee for Lessee's failure so to do and
without in any way assuming any obligations of Lessee. Lessee shall reimburse
Lessor upon Lessor's written request therefor, any amounts so paid by Lessor,
together with interest from the date of payment by Lessor until repayment by
Lessee at the rate set forth in Section 5.3 hereof.
22.6 No Waiver. Efforts by Lessor to mitigate the damages caused
by Lessee's default in this Lease shall not constitute a waiver of Lessor's
right to recover damages hereunder, nor shall Lessor have any obligation to
mitigate damages hereunder.

22.7 Curing Defaults. Should Lessee fail to repair, maintain,
and/or service the Leased Premises, or any part of contents thereof at any time
or times, or perform any other obligations imposed by this Lease or otherwise,
then after having given Lessee reasonable notice of the failure or failures and
a reasonable opportunity, which in no case shall exceed ten (10) calendar days
to remedy the failure, Lessor may perform or contract for the performance of
the repair, maintenance, or other Lessee obligation, and Lessee shall pay
Lessor for all direct and indirect costs incurred in connection therewith
within ten (10) calendar days of receiving a xxxx therefor from Lessor.
22.8 Cumulative Remedies. The various rights, options, election
powers, and remedies of Lessor contained in this Article 22 and elsewhere in
this Lease shall be construed as cumulative and no one of them exclusive of any
others or of any legal or equitable remedy which Lessor might otherwise have in
the event of breach or default, and the exercise of one right or remedy by
Lessor shall not in any way impair its right to any other right or remedy.
ARTICLE 23

(including costs of suit and attorney's fees), occasioned by such breach;
(c) Where a default exist under the Lease, the party

(d) The debtor, receiver, or trustee may only assign this
Lease if adequate assurance of future performance by the assignee is provided,
whether or not there has been a default under the Lease. Any consideration
paid by any assignee in excess of the rental reserved by the Lease shall be the

trustee the obligations of the Lease shall be deemed to have been assumed and
the assumptor shall execute an assignment agreement on request of Lessor.

not dealt with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the
