of exercise and through March 31, 2002 in default of any of terms, covenants or
conditions of this Lease, Lessee is hereby granted two (2) options to extend the
Term of this Lease for two (2) additional terms of five (5) years each from and
after March 31, 2002; provided that Lessee gives written notice to Lessor of the
exercise of each option of extension at least one hundred twenty (120) days

ninety-five percent (95%) of the then prevailing fair rental value as of the
commencement date of each option period, which shall be mutually agreed upon by

rental rate less than that established for the prior rental period. In the event
that Lessor and Lessee cannot mutually agree upon the then prevailing fair
rental value of the Premises, the determination of the fair rental value as of
the commencement date of each option period shall be based upon an appraisal by
an S.I.R. broker or an M.A.I. appraiser acceptable to both Lessor and Lessee to
the Los Angeles Chapter of the American Arbitration Association. All costs and
fees of said broker or of the American Arbitration Association shall be borne
equally by Lessor and Lessee. The fair rental value shall be increased during
the second thirty (30) months of each five (5) year extended term, the amount of
such increases to be agreed upon at the time the fair rental value is
established.

expanding the existing warehouse restrooms located near the southerly
loading doors and expanding the existing office restrooms in 2929
California, in addition to new restrooms to be located in the warehouse
