--------------------------------
Tenant shall pay to Landlord as a minimum annual rent the amount

delay the payment of any amount of money or charge at the time the same becomes
due and payable hereunder, or to limit any other remedy of landlord.

------------------------------
All Minimum Annual Rent, Additional Rent, and other payments and

timely payment in cash.
SECTION 4.04 DELINQUENT PAYMENTS.
--------------------------------
4.04.1 Interest.
---------------
If Tenant shall neglect or fail to pay, when the same is due and
payable, any Minimum Annual Rent, or Additional Rent, or any other amount
required to be paid under this Lease, Tenant shall pay to landlord, in addition
to such unpaid amounts, interest upon such unpaid amounts from the due date
thereof to the date of payment at the maximum rate permitted by law.
4.04.2 Late Charge.
------------------
Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to landlord of Minimum
Annual Rent, or Additional Rent, or any other amount required to be paid under
this Lease, will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease,
the exact amount of which is extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain.
Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges, and
late charges that may be imposed on landlord by virtue of its debt obligations.
Accordingly, if Tenant fails to pay Minimum Annual Rent, or Additional Rent, or
any other payment required to be paid under this Lease within ten (10) days
after such payment is due, Tenant shall pay a late charge equal to six percent
(6%) of such payment or $150.00, whichever is greater.

SECTION 5.01 REAL PROPERTY TAXES.
--------------------------------
5.01.1 Payment Obligation.
-------------------------

------------------
(a) "Real Property Taxes: shall mean all taxes, assessments and
governmental charges and surcharges levied upon or with respect to the real
property and improvements within the Center, excluding the portions thereof
hereinafter defined as "Common Areas," and any tax or excise on rents or any
other tax, however described, levied against Landlord on account of the rent
reserved hereunder or on the business of renting space in the Center. It is the
intention of the parties hereto that the rent to be paid hereunder shall be paid
to Landlord absolutely net without deduction of any nature whatsoever; it is not
intended, however, that Tenant pay income taxes of landlord arising as a result
of Landlord's income due to its receipt of rent hereunder and, accordingly, Real
Property Taxes shall not include such income taxes. Real Property Taxes shall
also include all expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord in seeking reduction
by the taxing authorities of Real Property Taxes applicable to the Center.
If at any time during the Term the methods of taxation prevailing at
the execution hereof shall be altered so that in lieu of, or as a supplement to,
the whole or any part of the Real Property Taxes now levied, assessed or imposed
on the Premises, there shall be levied, assessed or imposed a tax, assessment,
levy, imposition or charge, wholly or partially as a capital levy or otherwise,
on the rents received therefrom, or a tax, assessment, levy (including, without
limitation, any municipal, state or federal levy), imposition or charge measured
by or based in whole or in part upon the Premises and imposed upon Landlord, or
a license fee measured by the rent payable under this Lease, then all such
taxes, assessments, levied, impositions, charges or the part thereof so measured
or based, shall be deemed to be Real Property Taxes.
(b) the term "Real Property Taxes applicable to the Premises" shall
mean all Real Property Taxes separately assessed or charged against the Premises
or, if the Premises are not separately assessed, a fraction of the Real Property
Taxes assessed against the Center where the numerator of such fraction is "Gross
Floor Area" (as hereinafter defined) of the Premises and the denominator of such
fraction is the Gross Floor Area of all improvements designed for occupancy by
tenants of the Center.
(c) "Gross Floor Area" shall mean, with respect to the Premises and
with respect to each store separately leased or leaseable, the aggregate of (i)
the number of square feet of floor space on all floor levels, including
mezzanines (except where used solely for storage), measured from the center line
of party walls between tenant areas and the exterior face of all other walls,
and (ii) all outside selling areas, if any, used for the sale of merchandise by
tenants. No deduction or exclusion from Gross Floor Area shall be made by reason
of columns, stairs, elevators, escalators, or other interior construction or
equipment. Landlord may, from time to time, make changes or additions to the
Center which result in an increase or decrease in the aggregate Gross Floor Area
occupied or designed for occupancy by tenants of the Center. For the purposes of
this Lease, the Gross Floor Area of the Premises as of the date of this Lease is
stipulated to be the amount specified in Article 1.
5.01.3 Proration.
----------------
For the purposes of this Article, Real Property Taxes which are levied
on a fiscal year basis shall be deemed to apply one-twelfth (1/12th) to each

for years which do not fall wholly within the Term, said taxes shall be prorated
and the apportioned between Landlord and Tenant, with Tenant responsible for

municipal, county or state taxes, levies and fees of every kind, including,
without limitation, general or special taxes or assessments levied or assessed
during the Term against any leasehold interest or personal property of any kind,
owned by or placed in, upon or about the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant. If
any personal property of Tenant shall be assessed and taxed with landlord's real
property, Tenant shall pay to landlord its share of such taxes within ten (10)
days after delivery by Landlord of a written statement setting forth the amount
of such taxes applicable to Tenant's property.
SECTION 50.3 RIGHT TO CONTEST.
-----------------------------
Tenant shall have the right to contest the amount or the validity of
the Real Property Taxes applicable to the Premises, and Landlord shall cooperate
with Tenant in the exercise of such right; provided, however, said right shall
be availed of by Tenant only upon condition that Tenant shall indemnify and hold
Landlord, the Premises and the Center harmless from any loss, cost of expense,
including, without limitation, Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees and court
costs, which in any manner arise from or with respect to such contest and upon
further condition that Tenant shall take any and all action, including, without
limitation, the payment of any judgment or bonding requirement, so as to prevent

personnel and keep and maintain within and upon the Premises adequate trade
fixtures to service and supply the usual and ordinary demands and requirements
of its customers and shall keep the Premises, together with adjacent areas, in a
neat, clean and orderly condition. Tenant shall use its best efforts to
complete, or cause to be completed, all deliveries, loading, unloading and
services to the Premises in a reasonable manner. Landlord and Tenant mutually

damage caused to the Premises by reason of any such removal. However, nothing in

building of which the Premises are a part. Tenant shall pay to landlord
forthwith upon demand the amount of any increase in premiums for insurance
carried by landlord or any increase in landlord's estimated fair market costs of

insured, shall nevertheless be entitled to recovery under said policies for any
loss occasioned to it to the extent that Tenant's action causes an action of any
kind whatsoever and Landlord must defend itself from any and all claims,
Landlord is entitled to recover in such cases; and to the extent that landlord's
insurance must cover the cost between the difference, if any, of the proceeds of
Tenant's recovery to Landlord expenses, its servants, agents and employees by
reason of the negligence of Tenant. As often as
any such policy shall expire or terminate, renewal or additional policies shall
be procured and maintained by Tenant in like manner and to like extent. All
policies of insurance delivered to Landlord must contain a provision that the
company writing said policy will give to landlord thirty (30) days notice in

reduction in the amounts of insurance. All such policies shall be written as
primary policies and not contributing with or in excess of any coverage which
Landlord may carry, and shall cover and insure Landlord as an additional

other tenant or occupant of the Center, for loss of or damage to such waiving
party or its property or the property of others under its control, arising from

SECTION 10.01 REQUIREMENT OF LANDLORD'S CONSENT

this Lease to a material extent because of the unique character and quality of
Tenant. Accordingly, Tenant shall not transfer, assign, sublet, enter into
license or concession agreements, change ownership, mortgage or hypothecate
this Lease or Tenant's interest in and to the Premises without first procuring
the written consent of landlord. Any attempted transfer, assignment,
subletting, license or concession agreement, change of ownership, mortgage, or
hypothecation (hereinafter collectively referred to as a "transfer") without
Landlord's written consent shall be void and confer no rights upon any third
person. This Lease shall not, nor shall any interest herein, be assignable as
to the prior interest of Tenant by operation of law without the prior written
consent of landlord. Tenant shall pay landlord $250.00 as reimbursement for
Landlord's attorneys fees in conjunction with the processing and documentation
of any requested transfer of this Lease or Tenant's interest in and to the
Premises. See Section 23.05.
SECTION 10.02 CERTAIN TRANSFERS.
--------------------------------
For the purpose of this Article, each of the following shall
constitute a "transfer": (1) if Tenant is a partnership, a withdrawal or change,
voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, of any partner or the
dissolution of the partnership; (2) if Tenant consists of more than one person,
a purported assignment, voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, from on
person to another; and (3) if Tenant is a corporation (whose stock is not traded
through an exchange or over the counter) any liquidation, dissolution, merger,
consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, or the sale, exchange, trade,
assignment, hypothecation or other transfer of an aggregate of twenty-five
percent (25%) or more of the capital stock of Tenant, or the sale of an
aggregate of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the value of the assets of

instrument in writing in form satisfactory to landlord, and shall be executed by
the transferor in each instance; and each transferee shall agree in writing for
the benefit of landlord herein to assume, to be bound by, and to perform the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be done, kept and performed by
Tenant, including the payment of all amounts due under this Lease directly to
landlord. Failure to comply with the provisions of this Section shall operate to
prevent any such transfer from becoming effective.
SECTION 10.04 NO WAIVER OR RELEASE.
----------------------------------
Consent to any transfer which may be given by landlord or the
acceptance of any rent by landlord from Tenant or any third part, shall not
constitute a waiver by landlord of the provisions of this Article or a release
of Tenant from the full performance by it of the covenants contained herein to
be performed by Tenant. Any consent given by landlord to any transfer shall not
relieve Tenant from the requirement of obtaining the written consent of landlord
to any subsequent transfer. The restrictions on transferability contained in
this Article shall be considered a continuous covenant and shall run with the
land.
ARTICLE 11. MECHANIC'S LIENS
----------------------------
SECTION 11.01 MECHANIC'S LIENS.
------------------------------
Tenant shall give landlord twenty (20) days' prior written notice
before any construction work on the Premises is undertaken by or on behalf of
Tenant. Tenant shall do all things reasonably necessary to prevent the filing of
any mechanic's liens or other liens against the Center, or any part thereof, by
reason of work, labor, services or materials supplied or claimed to have been
supplied to Tenant or anyone holding the Premises, or any part thereof, through
or under Tenant. If any such lien shall at any time be filed, Tenant shall
either cause the same to be discharged of record within twenty (20) days after
the date of filing the same, or, if Tenant, in its discretion and good faith,
determines that such lien should be contested, it shall furnish such security as
may be required by law to prevent any foreclosure proceedings against the
Center, or any part thereof, during the pendency of such contest. If Tenant
shall fail to discharge such lien within such period or fail to furnish such
security, then, in addition to all other rights or remedies, landlord may, but
shall not be obligated to, discharge the same (a) by paying the amount claimed
to be due, (b) by procuring the discharge of such lien by deposit in court, (c)
by giving security, or (d) in such other manner as is, or may be, prescribed by
law. Any amount paid by Landlord for any of the aforesaid purposes, including
all reasonable attorneys' fees to procure the discharge of such lien with all
necessary disbursements in connection therewith, with interest thereon at the
maximum rate permitted by law from the date of payment, shall be repaid by
Tenant to landlord on demand and, if unpaid, may, at Landlord's election, be
treated as an Additional Rent. Nothing herein contained shall imply any consent
or agreement on the part of Landlord to subject the Center, or any part thereof,
to liability under any mechanic's lien law. Should Tenant be aware that any lien
has been filed against the Premises or that any action has been filed which may
affect Landlord's title to the Shopping Center ( or any portion thereof), Tenant
shall promptly give Landlord written notice thereof.
ARTICLE 12. UTILITY SERVICES

utilities with respect to the Premises. Landlord shall supply electric power to
Tenant's meter section, which may be located outside of the Premises.
SECTION 12.02 UTILITY CHARGES.
-----------------------------
Tenant shall, at its own expense, pay for all of said utilities used
by Tenant on the Premises from and after the delivery of possession thereof by
Landlord. If a separate meter is provided for Tenant for any such utilities, it

shall pay, monthly in advance, a utility charge to reimburse Landlord for
utilities furnished by landlord, if any, to the Premises. Said utility charge
shall be estimated from time to time by Landlord's engineer and shall be
initially based on a typical store layout comparable to Tenant's proposed use of
the Premises, but shall be subject to adjustment at the end of each calendar
year or partial calendar year during the Term. However, the utility charge to
Tenant for utilities furnished by landlord shall not exceed those of the local
public utility company if its services were furnished directly to Tenant. In the
event Tenant fails to pay any such amount to landlord within ten 910) days after
receipt by Tenant from Landlord of a xxxx therefor, or upon failure of Tenant to
pay any other sums required under this Lease within (10) days from the date such
payments are due, and until all such amounts are paid in full, landlord may cut
off and discontinue, without further notice to Tenant, any such utilities
furnished to the Premises by Landlord.
SECTION 12.03 INTERRUPTION OR TERMINATION OF SERVICE.
----------------------------------------------------
Landlord shall not be liable in damages or otherwise for any failure
or interruption of any utility service being furnished to the Premises, and no
such failure or interruption, unless protracted and due to landlord's sole
active negligence or willful misconduct, shall entitle Tenant to terminate this
Lease or to an abatement of the Minimum annual Rent, Additional Rent or other
amounts due hereunder. In the event Landlord (by thirty [30] days written notice
to Tenant) elects to discontinue furnishing any such utility service to the
Premises for reasons other than the non-payment by Tenant of any utility charge
or other rental payment required hereunder, Tenant shall obtain its own utility
service to the premises, and Tenant shall have the right to use all existing
conduits and facilities situated in the Premises.)

14.02.1 Worth at the time of Award.
----------------------------------
The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts referred to in
Subsections 14.01.1 and 14.01.2 is computed by allowing interest at the maximum
interest rate permitted by law. The "worth at the time of award" of the amount
referred to in Subsection 14.01.3 is computed by discounting such amount at the
discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award
plus one percent (1%).

"reasonable annual rental value" (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) the number of
years, including fractional parts thereof, between the date of termination and

award. As used in this Section, the term "reasonable annual rental value" means
the greatest of all Minimum Annual Rent, Percentage Rent and Additional Rent

product of twelve (120 times the average monthly rent (including Minimum annual

law, Landlord shall have no duty to mitigate damages arising out of Tenant's
failure to comply with any term, covenant or condition of this Lease.

conditions: the use to which said proposed assignee shall put he Premises shall

and fully compatible with the Center; the requirements of the proposed assignee
for services furnished by landlord shall not be greater than Tenant's; the
proposed assignee shall have successful experience in integrated shopping

may, but need not do) shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's right to

Civil Procedure or upon notice in lieu thereof as expressly provided in Article
13) re-enter the Premises and take possession thereof and remove all persons

termination shall not relieve Tenant of any obligation hereunder that has
accrued prior to the date of such termination. Landlord may take possession of
all personal property of Tenant and of any other person that is located on the
Premises and may store all such personal property on behalf of and at the risk
and expense of Tenant. Within thirty (30) days after Landlord takes possession
thereof, Tenant may redeem such personal property upon payment to landlord in
full of all amounts then due from Tenant to landlord hereunder and all costs
incurred by landlord in providing such storage. If Tenant fails to redeem such
personal property within such period Landlord may sell such personal property in
any reasonable manner and shall apply the proceeds actually collected by
landlord from such sale first against the costs of storage and sale and then
against any other obligation due from Tenant hereunder. By bargaining for and
obtaining the rights granted to Tenant hereunder, Tenant recognizes these rights
as the entirety of its just and adequate remedies and hereby expressly waives
any and all rights of redemption granted by or under present or future laws
(including, without limitation, Sections 1174 and 1179 of the California Code of
Civil Procedure) in the event of Tenant's being evicted or dispossessed for any
cause, or in the event of Landlord's obtaining possession of the Premises by
reason of a default of Tenant under this Lease, or otherwise.

SECTION 14.08 LIEN FOR RENT.

property of Tenant now or hereafter placed in or upon the Premises, and such
property shall be and remain subject to such lien and security interest of
landlord for payment of all Rent and other sums agreed to be paid by Tenant
herein. Said lien and security interest shall be in addition to and cumulative
of the Landlord's liens provided by law. This Lease shall constitute a security
agreement under the California Commercial Code (the "CCC") so that Landlord
shall have and
may enforce a security interest on all property of Tenant now or hereafter
placed in or on the Premises, including, but not limited to, all fixtures,
machinery, equipment, furnishings and other articles of personal property now or
hereafter placed in or upon the Premises by Tenant. Tenant shall execute as
debtor such financing statement or statements as Landlord may now or hereafter
reasonably request in order that such security interest or interests may be
protected pursuant to the CCC. Landlord may at its election at any time file a
copy of this Lease as a financing statement. Landlord as secured party, shall be
entitled to all of the rights and remedies afforded a secured party under the
CCC.
SECTION 14.09 WAIVER
--------------------
No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of
Landlord shall impair such a right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. The
waiver by Landlord of any breach of any term, covenant, or condition herein
contained shall not be deemed to be a wavier of such term, covenant, or
condition or any subsequent or preceding breach of the same or any other term,
covenant, or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent (or a
portion thereof) by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any previous
breach by Tenant of any Term, covenant, or condition of this Lease, other than
the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent (or portion thereof) so
accepted, regardless of landlord's knowledge of such prior existing breach at
the time of acceptance of such rent. Without limitation on the foregoing: no
payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly
installment of rent due under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on
account of the earliest rent due hereunder, nor shall any endorsement or
statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent
be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or
payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such
Rent or pursue any other remedy available to landlord; no receipt of money by
Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease or after the service of
any notice or after the commencement of any suit, or after final judgment for
possession of the Premises, shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term or
affect any such notice, demand or suit; and acceptance of any payment from a
debtor in possession, a trustee or any other person acting on behalf of Tenant
or Tenant's estate shall not waive or cure a default hereunder. 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 act by Tenant.
SECTION 14.10 SURRENDER.
-----------------------
Only an express written notice from Landlord to Tenant of Landlord's
intention to accept a surrender by Tenant shall constitute acceptance of the
surrender of the Premises and accomplish a termination of this Lease. No other
act or conduct of Landlord, including, without limitation, the acceptance of the
keys to the Premises, shall constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the
Premises before the expiration of the Term. Landlord shall not by any re-entry
or other act be deemed to have accepted any surrender by Tenant of the Premises
or Tenant's interest therein, or be deemed to have terminated this Lease, or to
have relieved Tenant of any obligation hereunder, unless Landlord shall have
given Tenant written notice of Landlord's election to terminate this Lease.

under said agreement, or
(2) the expiration or earlier termination of said Agreement

space (determined by measuring from the outside of exterior walls
and from the center of interior separation partitions) within the
buildings comprising the entire Shopping Center,
(including, for purposes of determining Gross Floor Area only,
the area contained within the buildings identified on the
attached Exhibit "B" as "Mall Shops"). There shall be excluded,
however, space on exterior or interior balconies, roofs,
canopies, or penthouses, or other structures on roofs, unless

abide by all such rules and regulations in its use and the use by its employees,
agents, invitees, licensees, customers and visitors with respect to the
automobile parking areas within the Common Areas, provided, however, that all

If in the opinion of Lessor unauthorized persons are using any of said
Common Areas by reason of the presence of Lessee in the Premises, Lessee, upon
demand of Lessor, shall

service-suppliers. Nothing herein shall affect the rights of Lessor at any time
to remove such unauthorized persons from said Common Areas or to restrain the

customers and patrons of the Shopping Center. Lessor agrees to furnish and/or
cause to be furnished at no additional rental either within the Shopping Center
parking area, or reasonably close thereto, space for employee parking applicable
equally and without discrimination and on the same terms for the employees of
all tenants, owners or occupants in the Shopping Center. Lessor at all times
shall have the right to designate the particular parking area (but not
particular spaces therein) to be used by any or all of such employees of

to time. Lessee and its employees shall park their cars only in those portions

ADDENDUM TO REDLANDS MALL
SHOPPING CENTER LEASE
August 1, 1996
23.01 RENTAL INCREASE:
----------------
1. During the first 5 years of the initial lease term, the minimum monthly
base rent shall be adjusted a fixed 6% increase on 01/01/99 and 01/01/01.
On 01/01/02 and on each second anniversary during the second 5 years of
the initial term, and of each option term exercised by tenant, the rent
shall be changed as follows:
(a) On each second anniversary (every other year) of commencement date
thereafter, the monthly rent payable under paragraph 1.03 of the attached
Lease shall be adjusted by the increase, if any, from 01/01/01, or the
most recent available index at the time i the Consumer Price Index of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor for Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers, Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, California
(1967=100), "All Items", herein referred to as "C.P.I.".
(b) the monthly rent payable in accordance with paragraph (a) of this
Addendum shall be calculated as follows: the rent payable for the first
month of the term of this Lease, as set forth in paragraph 1.03 of the
attached Lease, shall be multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which
shall be the C.P.I. of the calendar month during which the adjustment is
to take effect, and the denominator of which shall be the C.P.I. for the
calendar month 01/01/01. The sum so calculated shall constitute the new
monthly rent hereunder, but in no event, shall such adjustment be more
than a five (5%) percent per annum, increase over the rent for the month
immediately preceding the date for rent adjustment.
(c) Pending receipt of the required C.P.I. and determination of the actual
adjustment, Tenant shall pay an estimated adjusted rental, as reasonably
determined by landlord by reference to the then available C.P.I.
information. Upon notification of the actual adjustment after publication
of the required C.P.I., any overpayment shall be credited against the next
installment of rent due, and any underpayment shall be immediately due and
payable by Tenant. Landlord's failure to request payment of an estimate
for actual rent adjustment shall not constitute a waiver of the right to
any adjustment provided for in the Lease or this Addendum.
(d) In the event the compilation and/or publication of the C.P.I. shall be
transferred to any other governmental department of bureau or agency or
shall be discontinued then the index most nearly the same as the C.P.I.
shall be used to make such calculation. In the event that Landlord and
Tenant cannot agree on such alternative index, then the matter shall be
submitted for decision to the American Arbitration Association in
accordance with the then rules of said association and the decision of the
arbitrators shall be binding upon the parties. The costs of said
Arbitrators shall be paid equally by landlord and Tenant.
23.02 OPTION TO RENEW:
---------------
Tenant may, at its option, renew this Lease for up the three (3) consecutive
five (5) year periods, commencing with the expiration of the initial term of
this Lease and, thereafter, with the expiration of each option term exercised by

the covenants, terms and conditions of this Lease including, but not limited to,
the monthly rent and rent escalations.
Tenant's option to renew shall be subject to the condition that during the 6
months notice period prior to the expiration of the original term or any
extension thereof, Tenant shall not be in default in performance in any of the
terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease. In addition, Tenant shall notify
Landlord of the Tenant's intent to exercise such option to extend at least six
months prior to expiration of the initial term. This option does not grant

change of name occasioned by Tenant's merger with, acquisition by, or
acquisition of another financial institution.

---------------------------------------
Landlord's consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and landlord's
consent shall not be required where such transfer, assignment or sub-letting is

acquisition of another financial institution; provided that the successor in
interest has a net worth in excess of the net worth of Tenant and Tenant is not
released from its obligations under the terms of this Lease.

Tenant shall have the right to remodel, and if required as a result of a stock
transfer or ownership change, cease business operations for up to thirty (30)
days provided rent is paid and tenant is not in default of any of the provisions
of this Lease.
23.08 LANDLORD:
--------
Landlord shall procure concurrent with the execution of this lease, and
thereafter continuously maintain in full force and effect at all times during
