The second Letter of Credit (the “Second LC”) shall be in an amount, at all times, equal to Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000). The Second LC shall be self-renewing throughout the initial Lease term, but shall be subject to release commencing twelve (12) months following the Closing, subject to Buyer’s receipt of a written request therefor from Tenant (“Notice”), and provided all of the following conditions are satisfied:
3
(a) Tenant’s most recent audited financial statements have been certified by a firm of independent accountants, including such accountants’ opinion thereon, and such opinion is unqualified; and
(b) Tenant has not failed to pay any monetary obligation to Buyer due under the Lease on the due date thereof during the 12-month period immediately preceding Buyer’s receipt of the Notice; and
(c) Tenant is not in Breach of the Lease (as defined in the Lease); and
(d) Tenant’s EBDA (as defined below) for the 12-month period as of the end of the quarter immediately preceding the Buyer’s receipt of the Notice is at least Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000). “EBDA” means, with reference to any 12-month period, net income for such period plus all amounts deducted in arriving at such net income amount in respect of all amounts properly charged for depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets during such period. EDBA shall not include any extraordinary, one time, nonrecurring income.
The Lease will be delivered by Tenant pursuant to the terms of that certain letter agreement between Seller and Buyer dated December 31, 2002 (the “LOI”), shall contain the terms set forth in the LOI, and shall be executed within five (5) business days of Buyer’s receipt of same.

In the event that Lease and the Letter of Credit are not executed within five (5) business days of the receipt thereof, Buyer may extend the period for execution; provided that the escrow deposit shall remain refundable pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Contract and this Addendum.
12. Counterparts. This Addendum may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed in original, but all of which, together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.
13. Partial Invalidity. If any portion of the Agreement as applied to either party or to any circumstances shall be adjudged by a court to be void or unenforceable, and then such portion shall be deemed severed from the Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining of the Agreement.
14. Governing Law. This Addendum shall be governed by California law.
15. Entire Agreement. The Purchase Contract, this Addendum and the LOI set forth all of the promises, covenants, agreements, conditions and undertakings of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, negotiations, inducements or conditions, express or implied, oral or written.
