3. MINIMUM RENT
3.1 Tenant agrees to pay without offset or deduction of any kind the monthly

to Paragraph 3.2, in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the
term of this Lease. Such payments shall be sent to Shelter Bate Group. 000

the earlier of (i) the number of days specified in Paragraph 1(i) as the "Time
to Complete Tenant's Work" after delivery of the Premises to Tenant, or (ii) the
date Tenant first commences to do business in, on or from the Premises. If the
Rent Commencement Date is not the first day of a
calendar month, the first month's rent shall be prorated on the basis of a
thirty (30) day month, and shall be payable with the first full monthly rental
due hereunder.
3.2 Tenant agrees that the Monthly Minimum Rent shall be adjusted throughout
the lease term as follows:
The monthly Minimum Rent payment set forth in Paragraph 1(b) shall be adjusted
upward but not downward, based on the Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers
[All Items Index] (base years 1982-1984=100) for San Francisco-Oakland-San Xxxx
("Index") as published by the United States Department of Labor's Bureau of
Labor Statistics (Bureau). The base period Index shall be the Index for the
calendar month that is two months prior to the month in which the Rent
Commencement Date occurs. The base period Index shall be compared with the Index
for the same calendar month for each subsequent calendar year (comparison
month). If the Index for any comparison month is higher than the base period
Index, then the monthly Minimum Rent for the next twelve (12) months of the Term
shall be increased by the identical percentage commencing with the first rental
payment due for said twelve (12) month period, provided however, that in no
event shall the adjusted monthly Minimum Rent be less than three percent (3%)
nor more than six percent (6%) above the monthly Minimum Rent due immediately
prior to the adjustment. Should the Bureau discontinue the publication of the
above Index, or publish same less frequently, or alter same in some other
manner, then Landlord shall adopt a substitute index or substitute procedure
which reasonably reflects and monitors consumer prices. In the event of any
disagreement between the parties regarding any provisions of this Paragraph 3.2,

Tenant's records, books, accounts and other data are referred to in this Lease,

restriping; fees for equipment rental, any licenses and/or permits required for
operation of the Common Areas, or any part thereof. ;gad In the event Landlord
manages the Shopping Center, a charge of fifteen percent (15%) of all "operating
and maintenance costs" for Landlord's administrative and overhead expenses shall
be included in lieu of third party management fees.
11.5 Tenant's prorata share of the "operating and maintenance costs" described
in Paragraph 11.4 above shall be an amount equal to the sum of the following:
(i) Tenant's share of the operating and maintenance costs relating to the
buildings within Landlord's Parcel. Tenant's share of such costs shall be
determined by multiplying the aggregate of such costs by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Gross Leasable Area of the Demised Premises, and the
denominator of which is the total Gross Leasable Area of all buildings within
Landlord's Parcel.
(ii) Tenant's share of the operating and maintenance costs relating to the
Common Areas of the Shopping Center. Tenant's share of such costs shall be
determined by multiplying the aggregate of such costs by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Gross Leasable Area of the Demised Premises, and the
denominator of which is the total Gross Leasable Area of all buildings within
the Shopping Center.
If, during any calendar year, the total Gross Leasable Area within Landlord's
Parcel shall change, then Tenant's prorate share of the operating and
maintenance costs shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula set forth
hereinabove and Landlord, within a reasonable time thereafter, shall estimate
Tenant's share of the operating and maintenance costs for the balance of the
calendar year.
The initial estimate of Tenant's proportionate share, subject to adjustment from
time to time to reflect changes in the Gross Leasable Area, is set forth in
Paragraph 1(e)
11.6 As Additional Rent, Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly a Common Area charge
in an amount estimated by Landlord to be Tenant's share of the "operating and
maintenance costs" on the first day of each month, commencing on the Rent
Commencement Date and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter
during the term hereof.
The initial monthly Common Area charge shall be that sum set forth in Paragraph
1(f) above; Landlord may adjust the monthly Common Area charge at the end of
each calendar year on the basis of Landlord's anticipated costs for the
following calendar year or, as specified hereinabove at Paragraph 11.5, at such
time as the total Gross Leasable Area within Landlord's Parcel (or the Shopping
Center, if all Common Areas in the Shopping Center are maintained by Landlord)
shall change.
11.7 Within ninety (90)days after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall
furnish to Tenant a statement showing the total "operating and maintenance
costs", Tenant's share of such costs, and the total of the monthly payments made
by Tenant to Landlord during the calendar year just ended. Such statement shall
be certified by Landlord as being correct. Landlord shall keep good and accurate
books and records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
concerning the operation, maintenance and management of the Common Areas, and
Tenant and its agents shall have the right, upon ten (10) days' notice, to
audit, inspect and copy such books and records.
11.8 If Tenant's share of the "operating and maintenance costs" for the
accounting period exceeds the payments made by Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord
the deficiency within ten (10) days after the receipt of Landlord's statement.
Tenant's failure to pay such Additional Rent shall constitute a material breach
of this Lease, and Landlord may, without any further notice, exercise its
remedies specified in Paragraph 26 hereof. If Tenant's payments made during the
accounting period exceed Tenant's prorate share of the "operating and
maintenance costs," Tenant may deduct the amount of the excess from the
estimated payments next due to Landlord or, if no further estimated payments are
due to Landlord, Landlord shall refund the excess within a reasonable time after
the furnishing of the aforesaid year end statement by Landlord. The obligations
of Landlord and Tenant hereunder shall survive the termination of this Lease.
12. TRADE FIXTURES AND SURRENDER
12.1 Upon the expiration or sooner termination of the term hereof, Tenant shall
surrender the Premises including, without limitation, all keys and all apparatus
and fixtures then upon the Premises, in as good condition as when received,

rubbish and, subject to Landlord's election set forth in Paragraph 10.4, with
all alterations, changes, additions and improvements which may have been made or

teller under counter equipment night drop vault ATM vault and vault door prior
to the termination of this Lease and at its own cost and repair any damage to
the Premises and the building caused by such removal and restore the exterior of
the Premises to its original condition. If Tenant fails to remove any of such
property, Landlord may at its option retain such property as abandoned by Tenant
and title thereto shall thereupon vest in Landlord, or Landlord may remove the
same and dispose of It in any manner and Tenant shall, upon demand, pay Landlord
the actual expense of such removal and disposition plus the cost of repair of
any and all damage to said Premises and building resulting from or caused by s
uch removal.
12.3 The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual
cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and shall, at the option of the
Landlord terminate all or any existing subleases and subtenancies, or may, at
Landlord's option, operate as an assignment to it of any or all such subleases
or subtenancies.
12.4 If, at any time during the last thirty (30)days of the term hereof, Tenant
has removed all or substantially all of its aforesaid property from the
Premises, Landlord shall thereafter have the right to enter said Premises for
the purpose of altering, renovating and/or redecorating the same. Any such entry
or work by Landlord shall not entitle Tenant to any abatement of rent or any
other sum payable hereunder nor shall such entry or work be deemed an eviction
or disturbance of Tenant's use and occupancy.
13. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
13.1 Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 13.2, if the Premises are
damaged and destroyed by any casualty covered by Landlord's fire insurance
policy, Landlord shall repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible, and
the Lease shall continue in full force and effect.
13.2 If the Premises are damaged or destroyed by any casualty covered by
Landlord's fire insurance policy to the extent of twenty-five percent (25%) or
more of the replacement value of the Premises during the last twenty-four (24)
months of the term hereof, or if the insurance proceeds are required to be paid
to a holder of a security interest in Landlord's Parcel or if the buildings on
Landlord's Parcel shall be damaged
to the extent of fifty percent (50%) or more of the replacement value and
regardless of whether or not the Premises be damaged, then Landlord may, at
Landlord's option, either (i) repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible,
in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or (ii)
cancel and terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice of Landlord's
election to do so within ninety (90) days after the date of the occurrence of
the damage. In such event this Lease shall terminate thirty (30) days after the
giving of such notice by Landlord.
13.3 If at any time during the term hereof the Premises are damaged and such
damage was caused by a casualty not covered under Landlord's insurance policy
specified in Paragraph 15.2 hereafter, and the damage does not exceed ten
percent (10%) of the replacement value thereof, Landlord shall repair such
damage as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect. If, however, the damage exceeds ten percent (10%), then
Landlord may, at its option, either (i) repair such damage as soon as reasonably
possible at Landlord's expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect, or (ii) cancel and terminate this Lease by giving Tenant
written notice of Landlord's election to do so within thirty (30) days after the
date of occurrence of such damage, in which event this Lease shall so terminate
unless within thirty (30) days thereafter Tenant agrees to repair the damage at
its cost and expense or pay for Landlord's repair of such damage.
13.4 In the event of damage or destruction the Minimum Rent and other charges
(excluding Percentage Rent) payable hereunder shall be proportionately reduced
during the period of damage and any repair or restoration pursuant to this
Article 13 said reduction to be based upon the extent to which the damage or the
making of such repairs or restoration shall interfere with Tenant's business
conducted in the Premises. In no event, however, shall the amount of such rent
abatement exceed the proceeds of the rent abatement insurance required to be
carried by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 15.2 hereof.
13.5 Landlord shall in no event be required or obligated to repair, restore or
replace any of Tenant's leasehold improvements, trade fixtures or any other
property whatever installed in the Premises by Tenant.
14. EMINENT DOMAIN
14.1 If all or substantially all of the Premises shall be taken or appropriated
by any public or quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain (or
similar law authorizing the involuntary taking of private property, which shall
include a sale in lieu thereof to a public body), either party hereto shall have
the right, at its option, to terminate this Lease effective as of the date
possession is taken by said authority, and Landlord shall be entitled to any and
all income, rent, award and any interest thereon whatsoever which may be paid or
made in connection with such public or quasi-public use or purpose. Tenant
hereby assigns to Landlord its entire interest in any and all such awards, and
shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired term of this

provided in this Lease but elects not to remove, Tenant shall receive the am
ount so awarded.
14.2 If only a portion of the Premises is taken, then this Lease shall continue
in full force and effect and the proceeds of the award shall be used by Landlord
to restore the remainder of the improvements on the Premises so far as
practicable to a complete unit of like quality and condition to that which
existed immediately prior to the taking, and the Minimum Rent shall be reduced
in proportion to the floor area of the Premises taken. Landlord's restoration
work shall not exceed the scope of work done by Landlord in originally
constructing the Premises and the cost of such work shall not exceed the amount
of the award received by Landlord.

to claim from the condemning authority compensation or damages for its trade
fixtures and personal property.

herein, Landlord may procure the same on Tenant's behalf, and the cost of same

therein, and shall not sublet nor permit the use by others of the Premises or
any part thereof without first obtaining in each instance Landlord's written
consent. If consent is once given by Landlord to any such assignment, transfer,
hypothecation or subletting, such consent shall not operate as a waiver of the
necessity for obtaining Landlord's consent to any subsequent assignment

Landlord's consent shall be void and shall at Landlord's option, constitute a
material breach of this Lease. This Lease shall not, nor shall any Interest

this Lease and shall be and remain liable jointly and severally with Tenant for
the payment of all rents due hereunder, and for the due performance during the

that if the default specified in said notice is of such nature that it can be
cured by Landlord, but cannot with reasonable diligence be cured within said
thirty (30) day period, then such default shall be deemed cured if Landlord
within said thirty (30) day period shall have commenced the curing thereof and
shall continue thereafter with all due diligence to cause such curing to proceed
to completion.

its election so to do. If Landlord shall elect to terminate this Lease, then it
may recover from Tenant:
(a) The worth at the time of the award of the unpaid rent payable hereunder
which had been earned at the date of such termination; plus
(b) The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid rent
which would have been earned after termination and until the time of award
exceeds the amount of such rental loss which Tenant proves could have been
reasonably avoided; plus

for the balance of the term after the time of the award exceeds the amount of
such rental loss which Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus

proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations hereunder or
which, in the ordinary course of affairs, would likely result therefrom, and (e)

foregoing as may be permitted by applicable California law from time to time.

is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal
Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award plus one percent (1 %).

the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Demised

the account of Tenant.
26.5 If Landlord shall elect to re-enter as above provided or shall take
possession of said Premises pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any
notice provided by law, and if Landlord has not elected to terminate this Lease,
Landlord may either recover all rental as it becomes due or relet the Demised
Premises or any part or parts thereof for such term or terms and upon such
provisions as Landlord, in its sole judgment, may deem advisable and shall have
the right to make repairs to and alterations of the Demised Premises.
26.6 If Landlord shall elect to relet as aforesaid, then rentals received by
Landlord therefrom shall be applied as follows:
(a) To the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from
Tenant;
(b) To the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in
connection with such reletting;
(c) To the payment of the cost of any alterations of and repairs to the
Premises; and
(d) 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 rent as the same may
become due and payable hereunder.
In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any excess rental received by Landlord
over and above that which Tenant is obligated to pay hereunder. Should that
portion of such rentals received from such reletting during any month, which is
applied to the payment of rent hereunder, be less than the rent payable
hereunder during that month by Tenant, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to
Landlord forthwith upon demand, and said deficiency shall be calculated and paid
monthly. Tenant shall also pay Landlord as soon as ascertained and upon demand,
all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such reletting
and in making any such alterations and repairs which are not covered by the
rentals received from such reletting.
26.7 No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord under this
Article shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a
written notice of such intention is given to Tenant or unless the termination
thereof be adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any
reletting without termination by Landlord because of Tenant's default, Landlord
may at any time after such reletting elect to terminate this Lease because of
such default.
26.8 Nothing contained in this Article shall constitute a waiver of Landlord's
right to recover damages by reason of Landlord's efforts to mitigate the damages
to it caused by Tenant's default; nor shall anything in this Article adversely
affect Landlord's right, as In this Lease elsewhere provided, to indemnification
against liability for Injury or damage to persons or property occurring prior to
a termination of this Lease.
26.9 If Landlord shall retain an attorney for the purpose of collecting any
rental due from Tenant, Tenant shall pay the reasonable fees of such attorney
for his services regardless of the fact that no legal proceeding or action may
have been filed or commenced.
26.10 The terms "rent" and "rental" as used herein and elsewhere in this Lease
shall be deemed to be and mean the Minimum Rent, all Additional Rent (including
without limitation the Percentage Rent), rental adjustments and any and all
other sums, however designated, required to be paid by Tenant hereunder.
26.11 Any unpaid rent and any other sums due and payable hereunder by Tenant
shall bear interest at the maximum lawful rate per annum from the due date and
until payment thereof.
26.12 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. 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 Premises. Therefore, if any installment of rent
due from Tenant is not received by Landlord when due, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord an additional sum of ten percent (10%) of the overdue rent as a late
charge. 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.
27. PRIORITY OF LEASE AND ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
27.1 At Landlord's election, this Lease shall be either superior to or
subordinate to any and all trust deeds, mortgages, or other security
instruments, ground leases, or leaseback financing arrangements now existing or
which may hereafter be executed covering the Premises and/or the land underlying
the same or any part or parts of either thereof, and for the full amount of all
advances made or to be made thereunder together with interest thereon, and
subject to all the provisions thereof, all without the necessity of having
further instruments executed by Tenant to effectuate the same provided however,
that if Landlord elects for this Lease to become subordinate to any instrument
not now existing, such subordination shall be contingent upon the execution of a
subordination and non-disturbance agreement by which any mortgagee, beneficiary
or lessor recognizes Tenant's right to quiet enjoyment of the Premises and
agrees that Tenant's possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed so long
as Tenant is not i n default of this Lease. Tenant agrees to execute,
acknowledge and deliver upon request by Landlord any and all documents or
instruments which are or may be deemed necessary or proper by Landlord to more
fully and certainly assure the superiority or the subordination of this Lease to
any such trust deeds, mortgages or other security instruments, ground leases, or
leasebacks. If a subordination and non-disturbance agreement is so executed,
then in the event of a foreclosure sale or similar transfer of Landlord's
interest, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Tenant shall
automatically become the Tenant of Landlord's successor in interest and shall
attorn to said successor in interest. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints
Landlord as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest to execute and
deliver, for and in the name of Tenant, any document or instrument provided for
in this Article. The words "person" and "persons" as used herein or elsewhere in
this Lease shall mean individuals, partnerships, firms, associations and
corporations.
27.2 Except as expressly provided in subparagraph 27.1, this Lease is made
subject to all existing encumbrances, covenants, restrictions, conditions, and
easements of record. Further, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may, if it has
not already done so, hereafter enter into and record a Construction, Operation
and Reciprocal Easement Agreement ("REA") with other owners of parcels
comprising the Shopping Center for the purpose of providing for the overall
operation and maintenance of the Shopping Center, including Landlord's Parcel.
If requested to do so by Landlord, Tenant agrees to subordinate this Lease to
said REA and to any amendments thereto, and, in turn, Landlord covenants that
the provisions of the REA will not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use and
occupancy of the Leased Premises and its conduct of business thereon.
27.3 Tenant shall at any time and from time to time execute, acknowledge and
deliver to Landlord, within ten (10) days after Landlord's request therefor:
(a) A written statement certifying as follows:
(i) That this lease is unmodified and in full force (or if there has been
modification thereof, that the same is in full force as modified and stating the
nature thereof);
(ii) That to the best of its knowledge, there are no uncured defaults on the
part of landlord or matters which, upon the passage of time and the giving of
notice, or both, would constitute a default or breach by tenant (of if any such
default exists, the specific nature and extent thereof);
(iii) No claims or defenses exist on the part of tenant or no events exist that
would constitute a basis for such claim or defense (or if such exist, the
specific nature and extent);
(iv) The date to which any rents and other charges have been paid in advance,
if any;
(v) Such other matters which are reasonably requested by landlord with respect
to the lease and its status, including status of construction;
(b) Any other disclosure or informational document required by a lender of
Landlord in connection with financing, including, without limitation, ERISA
"real-party-in-interest" disclosures, or informational forms of any governmental
authority.
If Tenant shall fail to execute and deliver any such statement or related
document to Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord's written request
therefor, Landlord may, as Tenant's attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest,
execute said statement for and on behalf of Tenant, and in Tenant's name.
Further, Landlord, at its option, may treat same as a material breach and
default under this Lease.
28. HOLDING OVER
If, without the execution of a new lease or written extension of this Lease, and
with the consent of Landlord, Tenant shall hold over after the expiration of the
term of this Lease, Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying the Premises as a
Tenant from month-to-month, which tenancy may be terminated as provided by law.
During said tenancy, the Minimum Rent payable to Landlord by Tenant shall be one
hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Minimum Rent set forth in Article 3 of this
Lease, unless a different rate is agreed upon, and upon all of the other terms,
covenants and conditions set forth in this Lease so far as the same are
applicable. Provided that if Tenant shall fail to surrender the Premises upon
the termination of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord
arising therefrom, Tenant shall and does hereby agree to indemnify and hold
Landlord harmless from loss or liability resulting from such failure including,
but not limited to, claims made by any succeeding Tenant founded on such
failure.
29. NOTICES
Wherever in this Lease it shall be required or permitted that notice, approval,
advice, consent or demand be given or served by either party to this Lease to or
on the other, the same shall be given or served, and shall not be deemed to have
been duly given or served unless in writing and forwarded by certified or
registered mail, addressed in the case of Tenant to the address specified in
Paragraph 1(p) hereof and in the case of Landlord to the address specified in
Paragraph 1(q) hereof. Notice shall be deemed given when so mailed and

materialmen for work performed or materials or supplies furnished for Tenant or

payment of any sum that the claimant may recover on the claim, together with
said lien claimant's costs of suit if he recovers therein.
30.3 If Tenant shall not have paid a charge for which a mechanics' lien claim
has been filed, and Tenant shall not have discharged same of record within the
time permitted by Paragraph 30.1 above, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated
to) pay said claim and any costs, and the amount so paid, together with
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by
Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent within five (5) days after written demand
therefor. Tenant's failure to pay such Additional Rent shall constitute a
material breach of this Lease, and Landlord may, without any further notice,
exercise its remedies specified in Paragraph 26 hereof.
30.4 Tenant shall at least ten (10) days prior to commencing any work which
might result in a lien as aforesaid, give Landlord written notice of its

possession of the Premises.
32. ATTORNEY'S FEES

enforce any provision hereof or for damages or for declaratory or other relief
hereunder, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the losing

reasonable as attorneys' fees for services rendered to said prevailing party,
and said amount may be made a part of the judgment against the losing party.
33. RULES AND REGULATIONS
Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the rules and regulations
attached to this Lease, marked Exhibit E, and all reasonable modifications of

not be responsible to Tenant for the non-performance by any other tenant or
occupant of the building of any said rules and regulations. Landlord agrees to
make all reasonable efforts to cause compliance of all tenants of the Shopping
Center with these rules and regulations.

partnership or joint venture between Landlord and Tenant or between Landlord and
any other party, or cause Landlord to be in any manner responsible for the debts
or obligations of Tenant, or any other party.
34.2 If any provision of this Lease shall be determined to be void or voidable
by any court of competent jurisdiction, such determination shall not affect any
other provision of this Lease and all such other provisions shall remain in
effect. It is the intention of the parties hereto that if any provisions of this
Lease is capable of two constructions, one of which would render the provision
void or voidable and the other of which would render the provision valid, then
the provision shall have the meaning which renders it valid.
34.3 If Tenant hereunder is a corporation, the parties executing this Lease on
behalf of Tenant represent and warrant to Landlord that: they are authorized to
enter into this Lease; this Lease is executed in the usual course of corporate

Lease, and any agreement hereafter made shall be ineffective to change, modify,
alter or discharge it in whole or in part unless such agreement is in writing
and signed by both said parties. It is further understood that there are no oral
agreements between the parties hereto affecting this Lease, and that this Lease
supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements,
brochures, agreements and understandings, if any, between said parties or
displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the subject matter of this
Lease, and none of the same shall be available to interpret or construe this
Lease. All negotiations and oral agreements acceptable to both parties hereto
have been merged into and are included in this Lease.

and enforcement of this Lease. Although the printed provisions of this Lease

for or against Landlord or Tenant, but its construction shall be at all times in
accord with the general tenor of the language so as to reach a fair and
equitable result.

breach or default. Landlord's consent to or approval of, any act by Tenant
requiring Landlord's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render
unnecessary Landlord's consent to or approval of any subsequent similar act by
Tenant. The acceptance by Landlord of any rental or other payments due hereunder
with knowledge of the breach of any of the covenants of this Lease by Tenant
shall not be construed as a waiver of any such breach. The acceptance at any
time or times by Landlord of any sum less than that which is required to be paid
by Tenant shall, unless Landlord specifically agrees otherwise in writing, be
deemed to have been received only on account of the obligation for which it is
paid, and shall not be deemed an accord and satisfaction notwithstanding any
provisions to the contrary written on any check or contained in a letter of
transmittal.

delay or stoppage, except that Tenant's obligations to pay the Minimum Rent,
Percentage Rent, Additional Rent and any other sums or charges pursuant to this
Lease shall not be affected thereby.
34.9 The term "Landlord" as used in this Lease, so far as covenants or
obligations on the part of Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and
include only the owner or owners at the time in question of the Premises, and in
the event of any transfer or transfers of title thereto, Landlord herein named

(hereinafter, "Tenant"), adding to the lease between the same parties dated
September 7, 2000, as follows:
39. OPTIONS TO EXTEND
First Option: Provided that the Lease is in full force and effect, Tenant is not
in default in the performance of any of the terms and conditions of the Lease,
Tenant has not assigned the Lease unless such assignment has been approved by
Landlord as provided in paragraph 21 1, and
Tenant is in occupancy for its own use of the entire premises (collectively, the
"Option Conditions"), Tenant shall have the option to extend the term of the
Lease for a period of five (5_) years, subject to the following conditions: (i)
the option shall be exercised by written notice of exercise delivered to
Landlord not earlier than 9 months nor later than 6 months prior to the
expiration of the original Lease Term; and (ii) the Option Conditions shall be
satisfied both at the time the option is exercised and at the commencement of
the option period. In the event the option is timely exercised, the term of the
Lease shall be extended for a period of five (5) years upon all of the terms and
conditions of the Lease, provided that t he initial Minimum Monthly Rent shall
be the fair market rental value of the Premises as of the date Tenant exercises
the option, but in no event less than the rental amount in effect upon
expiration of the initial term.
Second Option: Tenant's Second Option to extend the term of the Lease for a
period of five (5) years shall be subject to the satisfaction of all of the
terms and conditions of the First Option listed above, provided however, that
the option shall be exercised by written notice of exercise delivered to
Landlord not earlier than 15 months nor later than 12 months prior to the
expiration of the First Option period. In addition, the Second Option is further
conditioned upon Tenant providing evidence, satisfactory to Landlord and
certified by Tenant, of the number of daily over-the-counter transactions
(activity count) over the 120 day period immediately preceding Tenant's notice
of exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease,
Landlord shall have the right to revoke the Second Option within 30 days of
receipt of Tenant's notice if the average daily activity count is less than 170.
In the event the option is timely exercised, the term of the Lease shall be
extended for a period of five (_5) years upon all of the terms and conditions of
the Lease, provided that the initial Minimum Monthly Rent shall be the fair
market rental value of the Premises as of the date Tenant exercises the option,
but in no event less than the rental amount in effect upon expiration of the
first option term.
Determination of Option Rent: The Fixed Minimum Rent payable during the first
year of each option term shall be equal to the Fair Market Rental Value of the
Premises, but in no event less than the rental amount in effect upon expiration
of the preceding term, which amount shall thereafter be adjusted pursuant to
Article 3.2 hereof. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the Option
Period Rent, Fair Market Rental Value shall be determined as follows:
Each party shall select (and pay the fees of) a disinterested real estate broker
with at least five (5) years of commercial real estate experience in the San
Francisco East Bay Area. Each party shall, within ten (10) business days after
the receipt of notice of request for the determination of Fair Market Rental
Value by brokers, notify the other party of the name and address of the real
estate broker selected by such party. If a party shall fail timely to give such
notice, the broker for the other party shall select the second broker (subject
to the above selection criteria) within ten (10) days after the failure of such
party to give such notice. The two brokers selected shall attempt to determine
the Fair Market Rental Value of the space in question for the term in question.
As used in this Section "Fair Market Rental Value' shall mean the rental rate
per square foot prevailing at the commencement of the period in question under
leases for lease terms equal to the term in question then being entered into for
general retail users of comparable space in the San Francisco East Bay Area,
taking into consideration the economic terms and conditions then relevant in the
marketplace. The decision of each broker shall be in writing and a copy thereof
shall be given to Landlord and Tenant promptly after such decisions are
rendered. In the event that within thirty (30) days after the first of such
notices of request for determination of said Fair Market Rental Value by brokers
is received, the two selected brokers cannot agree upon said Fair Market Rental
Value, then they shall select a third disinterested real estate broker with at
least five (5) years of commercial real estate experience in the San Francisco
East Bay Area. The fees of the third broker shall be borne equally by Landlord
and Tenant. The third broker shall select either the Landlord's broker's opinion
of the Fair Market Rental Value of such space for the balance of the term of the
Lease or the Tenant's broker's opinion of such Fair Market Rental Value.
Until such time as the rent is determined as aforesaid, Tenant shall pay as
Minimum Rent for the space in question, Minimum Rent at a rate which was last in
effect under the Lease, and upon the final resolution of such rent pursuant to
the foregoing, the Tenant shall pay an appropriate amount, if any, to reflect
such resolution.
40. REGULATORY APPROVAL
This Lease is contingent upon Tenant obtaining regulatory approval for a license
to do business at the Premises. If such contingency is not satisfied or waived
by Tenant within thirty (30) days of the execution of this Lease, either party
shall have the right to terminate the Lease upon ten (10) days written notice to
the other party.
41. TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE
Landlord shall provide to Tenant an allowance of $10 per square foot ($34,150)
for the construction and installation in the Premises of Tenant's Work (the
"Tenant Improvement Allowance"), other than the purchase of Tenant's trade
fixtures. All costs of Tenant's Work in excess of the Tenant Improvement
Allowance shall be borne by Tenant. The Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be
payable within fifteen (15) days of Tenant's opening for business provided
Tenant has provided Landlord with a) unconditional and final lien releases or
receipts evidencing Tenant's payment in full from all suppliers and contractors
providing materials or services associated with Tenant's improvements, b) a
Certificate of Occupancy and/or Business License, and c) a certificate of
