successor bank) for a short term, unsecured loans to its most creditworthy
borrowers, plus four percent (4%) per annum, but in no event shall such
interest exceed the maximum rate permitted by law. Landlord's acceptance of

occurring during the preceding year and the amount thereby determined shall
be added to the minimum rent payable during the preceding year. No failure by
Landlord to notify Tenant of the adjustment of minimum rent provided for
herein shall be construed as a waiver of the right of the Landlord to require
such adjustment as of the date or dates when it should have been made, nor
shall any such failure be held to estop Landlord from requiring such
adjustment and Tenant does hereby knowingly waive the
2
provisions of any statute of limitations barring collection of any sum due to
pursuant to any such adjustment because of the passage of time between the
date such adjustments to the minimum annual rent ought to have been made and
the date suit is brought to collect any sum due as a result thereof. Should
the Bureau of Labor Statistics discontinue the publication of the above
Index, or publish the same less frequently, or alter the same in some other
manner, then Landlord shall adopt a substitute index or substitute procedure
which reasonably reflects and monitors consumer prices. CPI SHALL NOT EXCEED
4% ANNUALLY.
SECTION 6. RENTAL ADJUSTMENT

percentage share shall be appropriately adjusted. Rentable area shall be
based upon the Building Owners and Managers Association International (BOMA)

share as set forth below.

right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open said

premises and thereby terminate this Lease or to have this Lease continue in
full force and effect with Tenant at all times having the right to possession
of the premises. Should Landlord elect to terminate Tenant's right to
possession of the premises and terminate this Lease, the Landlord shall have
the immediate right of entry and may remove all persons and property from the
premises. Such property so removed may be stored in a public warehouse or
elsewhere at the cost and for the account of Tenant. Upon such termination
Landlord, in addition to any other rights and remedies (including rights and
remedies under Subparagraphs (1), (2) and (4) of Subdivision (a) of Section
1951.2 of the California Civil Code of any amendment thereto), shall be
entitled to recover from Tenant 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 rental loss that the Tenant proves could be
reasonably avoided The worth at the time of award of the amount referred to
in subparagraphs (1) and (2) of Subdivision (a) of Section 1951.2 of the
California Civil Code shall be computed by allowing interest at the maximum
rate allowed by law. The worth at the time of the award of the amount
referred to in subparagraph (3) of Subdivision (a) Section 1951.2 of the
California Civil Code shall be computed by discounting such amount at the
discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the
award plus 1%.
Any proof by Tenant of the amount of rental loss that could be
reasonably avoided shall be made in the following manner: Landlord and Tenant
shall each select a licensed real estate broker in the business of renting
property of the same type and use as the premises and in the same geographic
vicinity and such two real estate brokers shall select a third licensed real
estate broker and the three
10
licensed real estate brokers so selected shall determine the amount of rental
loss that could be reasonably avoided for the balance of the term of this
Lease after the time of award. The decision of the majority of said licensed
real estate brokers shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto.
Should Landlord, following any breach or default of this Lease by
Tenant, elect to keep this Lease in full force and effect, with Tenant
retaining the right to possession of the premises (notwithstanding the fact
the Tenant may have abandoned the leased premises), then Landlord, besides
the rights and remedies specified in Section 1951.4 of the California Civil
Code and all other rights and remedies Landlord may have at law or equity,
shall have the right to enforce all of Landlord's rights and remedies under
this Lease, including but not limited to the right to recover the
installments of rent as they become due under this Lease. Notwithstanding any
such election to have this Lease remain in full force and effect, Landlord
may at any time thereafter elect terminate Tenant's right to possession of
said premises and thereby terminate this Lease for any previous breach or
default which remains uncured, or for any subsequent breach or default.
SECTION 25. DESTRUCTION OR DAMAGE
25(a) In the event the Premises or a portion of the Building is
damaged by fire or other insured casualty, Landlord shall diligently repair
the same to the extent possible with the insurance proceeds received by
Landlord, subject to the provisions of this Section hereinafter set forth, if
such repairs can in Landlord's opinion be made within 90 days after issuance
of a building permit therefor under the laws and regulations of federal,
state and local governmental authorities having jurisdiction thereof. In such
event this Lease shall remain in full force and effect except that if such
damage is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or
Tenant's agents, contractors, employees, subtenants, licensees, invitees or
visitors, an abatement of basic rent shall be allowed Tenant for such part of
the Premises as shall be rendered unusable by Tenant in the conduct of its
business during the time such part is so unusable. Notwithstanding the

this Lease, Landlord shall not be obligated to repair such damage, but may
instead elect to terminate this Lease upon written notice given to Tenant
within 30 days after the date of such fire or other casualty, in which event
this Lease shall terminate as of the termination date specified in Landlord's
notice.
25(b) If such repairs cannot in Landlord's opinion be made within 90
days after issuance of a building permit therefor or if such damage is
uninsured, Landlord may elect upon notice to Tenant given 60 days after the
date of such fire or other casualty to (i) repair or restore such damage, in
which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but basic
rent shall be partially abated as hereinabove in this Section provided or

termination date specified in Landlord's notice.

terminate this lease. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that this Lease

destruction, and Tenant waives the provisions of California Civil Code
Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) and any similar statute now or hereafter in
force.

Landlord shall repair at its cost any injury or damage to the Building itself
and the initial improvements made by Landlord pursuant

to EXHIBIT A Tenant shall pay the cost of repairing or replacing all other
improvements in the Premises and Tenant's trade fixtures, furnishings,
equipment and other personal property.

than 90 days, either party hereto shall have the right, at its option, to
terminate this Lease. If all or any part of the building of which the
premises are a part shall be taken or appropriated by any public or
quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain, Landlord may
terminate this Lease. In either of such events, Landlord shall be entitled to
and Tenant upon demand of Landlord shall assign to Landlord any rights of
Tenant to any and all income, rent, award, or any interest therein whatsoever
which may be paid or made in connection with such public or quasi-public use
or purposes, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the condemnor
for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease. If a part of the premises
shall be so taken or appropriated and neither party hereto shall elect to

reduced.

agrees to attorn to such new owner. If any security be given by Tenant to
secure the faithful performance of all or any of the covenants of this Lease
on the part of tenant, Landlord may transfer and/or deliver the security, to
the successor in interest of Landlord, and thereupon Landlord shall be
discharged from any further liability in reference thereto. Except as set
