(calculated on the basis of a thirty day month) until the first day of the month next succeeding
the date Tenant’s obligation to pay rent commences. The Minimum Rent shall be paid thereafter in
equal monthly installments on or before the first day of each month in advance without demand or
offset. The Minimum Rent to be paid by Tenant during the Term of this Lease is set forth in
Section 1.02.6

In addition to the payment of Annual Minimum Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord for each
Lease Year during the Term of this Lease, as Percentage Rent a sum equal to the amount by which
*** of the Gross Receipts for such Lease year exceeds the Annual Minimum Rent which is payable for
such Lease Year. For the purpose of computing the Annual Percentage for the first Lease Year, the
Gross Receipts for the partial calendar month, if any, preceding the first Lease Year shall be
includable in the Gross Receipts for the first Lease Year.
Within sixty (60) days following the end of each Lease Year, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord
the written statement required by Section 6.02 of this Lease showing Tenant’s Gross Receipts for
the preceding lease year. Tenant shall at the time of delivery of the written statement pay to

portion of the monthly rent installment based upon a thirty (30) day month.
Section 4.05. Late Payment.
If the Tenant fails to pay the Minimum Rent or any installment thereof or Percentage Rent, if
any, or any other additional rent due under this Lease within five (5) days after such Rent has
become due, both Tenant and Landlord agree that Landlord will incur additional expenses consisting
of extra collection efforts, handling costs and potential impairment of credit on loans which may
be secured by this Lease. Both parties agree that should Tenant fail to pay its Rent, Landlord is
entitled to compensation for detriment caused by the failure, but that it is extremely difficult
and impractical to ascertain the extent of the detriment. The parties therefore agree that should
Tenant fail to pay any Rent due hereunder within five (5) days after the same becomes due,
Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant five percent (5%) of the amount past due as
liquidated damages. Such past due amounts shall also bear interest at the maximum rate allowed by
law from the date due until paid. Tenant further agrees to pay Landlord any costs incurred by
Landlord in the collection of such past due Rent including, but not limited to, fees of an
attorney and/or collection agency. Nothing herein contained shall limit any other remedy of
Landlord under this Lease. Landlord shall also have the right to require Tenant to pay any past
due sums by cashier’s check or money order.
Further, should Tenant fail to pay Rent or any other charges due hereunder in the time
periods set forth herein, two (2) or more times during any calendar year of the Term, Landlord may
require Tenant to thereafter pay Rent in quarterly installments in advance for the balance of the
Term.

(a) Landlord’s Obligation:
Subject to delay as provided in this Lease, Landlord, at its own cost and expense, shall
develop the building pad in accordance with plans and specifications prepared by Tenant or
Tenant’s architect, including the design and construction of all utility lines to the boundary of
the Premises in adequate size to service Tenant’s requirements.
(b) Tenant’s Obligation:
Tenant shall construct the theatre building and improvements in accordance with plans and
specifications prepared by Tenant. Any work to be performed by Tenant and any permits, fees or
applications for such work shall be performed or obtained by Tenant at its sole cost and expense
(collectively, “Tenant’s Work”). Tenant shall pay for any equipment or work to be installed in or
constructed on the Premises by Landlord other than Landlord’s Work prior to commencement of
construction or installation of such additional items.
(c) Tenant’s Allowance.
Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with an improvement allowance of up to a maximum of Eight
Million One Hundred Sixty Thousand ($8,160,000.00) dollars ($85 per square foot) (“Tenant
Allowance”). Tenant shall pay any difference between the total Tenant building and improvement
cost less the Tenant Allowance. Landlord agrees that it shall pay to Tenant, or at Tenant’s
direction, to Tenant’s contractor, within fifteen (15) days following Landlord’s receipt of
conditional lien waivers signed by its contractor, in form reasonably sufficient to waive lien
rights in Alameda County, California, an amount equal to the Tenant Allowance multiplied by the
percentage of work completed as of the date of the lien waivers, less any installments of Tenant
Allowance already paid. If the total contract for Tenant’s Work exceeds Tenant’s Allowance,
Landlord shall only be required to pay its pro-rata share which shall be the ratio of Tenant’s
Allowance to the total of Tenant’s Work. If Landlord disputes any portion of the request for
payment by Tenant due to faulty or incomplete work, then Landlord shall withhold a sum which, in
Landlord’s opinion would be required to correct or complete the disputed work. In this event,
Landlord shall submit a written “punch list” to Tenant.
Anything above to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall have no obligation to pay any
portion of the construction allowance if Tenant is then in default of any of the terms and
provisions of this Lease.
Section 5.02. Possession.
Upon substantial completion by Landlord of Landlord’s Work on the Premises, Landlord shall
deliver the Premises to Tenant. Tenant waives any right or claim against the Landlord for any
cause directly or indirectly, arising out of the condition of the Premises, appurtenances thereto,
the improvements thereon and the equipment

Lease. Landlord shall not be liable for any latent or patent defects therein.
Section 5.03. Commencement of Construction and Completion.

Work, a valid Notice of Completion and thereafter deliver to Landlord prior to opening for
business a certified copy of such Notice along with final lien releases for all contractors,
subcontractors, materialmen and suppliers covering all improvements and work performed by Tenant
and/or Tenant’s contractor on the Premises.
Section 5.04. Delay in Possession
Landlord shall not be liable for failure to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant. If
Landlord fails to deliver possession of the Premises on or before the expiration of two (2) years
from the date of lease execution (subject to extension for any force majeure or inability to

to the other party. Thereafter, neither party shall have any further liability to the other in

required in order to properly account for and record all sales or other transactions in and from

option, the written statement shall be duly certified to Tenant and Landlord by independent

Section 6.02 shall be in such form and style and contain such details and breakdown as the
Landlord may reasonably require.

limiting any other remedy Landlord may have against Tenant under this lease as a result of this
breach, a $100.00 (increased each year according to the Index) charge for each and every month

the right, upon five (5) days written notice, to audit Tenant’s records at Tenant’s expense.

including the so-called value added tax, such tax, fee or excise shall be considered “Real
Property Taxes” for purposes of this Section 8.01, and shall be payable in full by Tenant. At
Landlord’s option, such taxes, fees or excises shall be payable monthly in advance on an estimated
basis as provided in this Section 8.01 or shall be payable within ten (10) days after Tenant’s
receipt of the tax xxxx therefor from Landlord.

purposes other than the purposes for which the Premises are hereby leased. No gaming machines

Disabilities Act). Tenant shall also comply with the requirements of any insurance organization or
company necessary for the maintenance of the fire and public liability insurance described in this
Lease covering the building and its appurtenances. If Tenant’s use of the Premises results in a
rate increase for the building or the Entire Premises, Tenant shall pay with in ten (10) days of
billing from Landlord, as additional rent, a sum equal to the additional premium caused by such
rate increase.

for each and every day after the Rent Commencement Date that Tenant shall fail to be open for
business in the Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease. This additional rent is
intended to compensate Landlord for loss of Rent that may have been earned during the period Tenant
is not open for business, for damages suffered by the Landlord to the Entire Premises as a whole by
reason of Tenant’s not being open and for additional costs and expenses that Landlord may incur by
reason of increased administrative expenses and security costs for the Entire Premises. Tenant
acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is executing this Lease in reliance on Tenant’s covenant and
obligation to continuously operate its business in the Premises in accordance with this Lease and

Entire Premises, or from any breach or default on the part of Tenant in the performance of any
covenant or agreement on the part of Tenant to be performed pursuant to this Lease, or from

party to any litigation commenced by or against Tenant, Tenant shall accept any tender of defense
by Landlord and shall, notwithstanding any allegations of negligence or misconduct on the part of
Landlord, its agents or employees, defend, protect and hold Landlord harmless and pay all costs,
expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred or paid by Landlord in connection with such
litigation; provided, however, Tenant shall not be liable for any such damage to the extent and in
the proportion such damage is ultimately determined to be attributable to the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees, unless covered by insurance required to be
carried by Tenant. Landlord may, at its option, require Tenant to assume Landlord’s defense in any
action covered by this Section 16.03 through counsel satisfactory to Landlord.

percent (100%) of the replacement value of such equipment.
Section 16.06. Waiver of Subrogation.
Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually waive their respective rights of recovery against each
other for any loss to the Premises or its contents resulting from actions on or with respect to
the Premises insured by fire, extended coverage or any other insurance existing for the benefit of
the respective parties and each party agrees to apply to their insurers to obtain similar waivers
from such insurers. Each party shall obtain any special endorsements required by such party’s
insurer to evidence compliance with the aforementioned waiver.
Section 16.07. Waiver or Loss and Damage.

on or about the Premises, nor for the loss of or damage to any property of Tenant or of others by

without compensation being made therefor. However, if Landlord so elects, this Lease shall be
deemed prior in lien to any mortgage, deed of trust or other encumbrances or ground lease upon or
including the Premises, regardless of recording and Tenant will execute a statement in writing to
such effect at Landlord’s request.
Section 17.04. Mortgagee Protection Clause.
Tenant agrees to give any mortgagees, trust deed holders and/or ground lessor, by registered
mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon the Landlord, provided that prior to such notice
Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of notice of assignment of lease, or otherwise) of the
addresses of such mortgagees, trust deed holders and/or ground lessor. Tenant further agrees that
if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease,
then the mortgagees and/or trust deed holders shall have an additional thirty (30) days within
which to cure such default, or if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such
additional time as may be necessary, provided such mortgagees, trust deed holders and/or ground
lessor commence such cure within thirty (30) days and diligently pursue the remedies necessary to
cure such default (including but not limited to commencement of foreclosure proceedings to effect
such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be terminated while such remedies are being so
diligently pursued.

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Section 18.01. Consent Required.
Except as provided in Sections 18.02, 18.03 and 18.04 herein, Tenant shall not assign this
Lease in whole or in part, nor sublet all or any part of the Premises, without the prior written
consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. It is agreed that Landlord
will not be acting unreasonably in refusing to consent to an assignment or sublease if, in
Landlord’s reasonable business judgment, the quality of the merchandising operation of the
proposed assignee or subtenant is not equal to that of the Tenant, the use of the Premises will
change, such assignee or subtenant may adversely affect the business of other tenants or the
tenant mix in the Entire Premises or Landlord’s ability to obtain percentage rent, the net worth
of such assignee or subtenant is less than that of Tenant at time of execution of this Lease, or
the proposed assignee or subtenant lacks sufficient working capital to operate the business. The
consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity
for such consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. If this Lease is assigned by Tenant,
or if the Premises or any part thereof are sublet or occupied by any person or entity other than
Tenant, Landlord may collect Rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net
amount collected to the Rent herein reserved, not no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or
collection shall be deemed a waiver on the part of Landlord, or the acceptance of the assignee,
subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of
covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. Irrespective of any assignment or sublease,
Tenant shall remain fully liable under this Lease and shall not be released from performing any of
the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. If Tenant assigns this Lease or sublets the
Premises, any rent paid to Tenant in addition to the Rent payable to Landlord as set forth in this
Lease shall be paid be paid by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent.
If Tenant is a corporation, an unincorporated association or a partnership, the transfer,
assignment or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such corporation, association or
partnership in the aggregate in excess of forty-nine percent (49%) shall be deemed an assignment
within the meaning and provisions of this Section 18.01.
Tenant shall pay Landlord a non-refundable processing fee of $50.00 (increased each year by
the Index) for each requested assignment or sublease to cover Landlord’s costs. This fee shall
accompany any request for assignment or sublease. In addition, Tenant shall pay all costs incurred
by Landlord in connection with reviewing a request to consent to an assignment or sublease,
including all of Landlord’s attorneys’ and accountants’ fees.
Section 18.02. Permitted Assignment or Subletting by Franchisor.
If Tenant is a franchisor, Tenant may assign its interest herein or sublet all or part of the
Premises once to a bona fide franchisee or licensee of Tenant without the payment of the fee
described in Section 18.01 (but subject to all other conditions contained therein), provided there
shall be no change in the use of the Premises, provided Tenant notifies Landlord in writing thirty
(30) days prior to such subletting or assignment and provided further such assignee or subtenant
meets all of Tenant’s then nationwide franchise requirements including payment of the applicable
standard franchise fee. Any subsequent subletting or assignment shall be subject to all the
conditions of Section 18.01, including the payment of the fee.
Section 18.03. Concessionaires.
Tenant may grant concessions for the operation of one or more departments of the business
which Tenant operates on the Premises as required by Section 10.01; provided however that (a) each
such concession may be allowed only upon receipt by Tenant of the prior written consent of the
Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall be subject to all the terms
and provisions of this Lease; (b) the Gross Receipts, as defined in Section 4.04 hereof, from the
operation of each such concession shall be deemed to be a part of the Gross Receipts of Tenant for
the purpose of determining the Percentage Rent payable to Landlord; (c) all of the provisions
hereof applying to the business of Tenant including the provisions concerning reports and audits
shall apply to each such concession; and (d) at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the sales
floor area of the Premises shall at all times be devoted solely to the business operated by
Tenant.
Section 18.04. Involuntary Assignment.
No interest of Tenant in this Lease shall be assignable by operation of law (including,
without limitation, the transfer of this Lease by testacy or intestacy). Each of the following
acts shall be considered an involuntary assignment: (a) if Tenant is or becomes bankrupt or
insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or institutes a proceeding under the
Bankruptcy Act in which Tenant is bankrupt; or, if Tenant is a partnership or consists of more
than one person or entity, if any partner of the partnership or other person or entity is or
becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (b) if a writ
of attachment or execution is levied on this Lease; or (c) if, in any proceeding or action to
which Tenant is a party, a receiver is appointed with authority to take possession of the
Premises. An involuntary assignment shall constitute a default by Tenant, and Landlord shall have
the right to elect to terminate this Lease, in which case this Lease shall not be treated as an
asset of Tenant.
ARTICLE XIX
ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION
Section 19.01. Advertising of Tenant.
With the exception of national or regional advertising, Tenant, at its sole expense, agrees to

If the Premises shall be damaged by fire, the elements or other casualty or cause whether or
not insured against under the provisions of Section 16.01 and 16.03, Tenant at its own expense,
shall cause such damage to be repaired and the Premises reconstructed and restored as soon as
reasonably practical, and any Rent or other charges payable hereunder shall not be abated.
Landlord shall make any insurance proceeds available to Tenant on a reasonable basis for that
purpose. Tenant shall be responsible for the concurrent prompt repair and restoration of its
furniture, fixtures and equipment in the Premises damaged by such event. In the event that fifty
percent (50%) or more of the Premises are damaged or destroyed by fire, the elements or other
cause or casualty, Landlord shall have the right, to be exercised by written notice delivered to
Tenant within sixty (60) days from and after said occurrence, to elect not to require the Tenant
to reconstruct and repair the Premises, and in such event this Lease and the tenancy hereby
created shall cease as of the date of said damage. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease in
accordance with this Section 20.01, all insurance proceeds, except for insurance proceeds for
Tenant’s fixtures, shall become the property of Landlord.
Section 20.02. Waiver of Termination.
Tenant hereby waives any statutory rights which it may have to terminate the Lease in the
event of the partial or total destruction of the Premises, if being agreed that the provisions of
this Article XX shall control.
ARTICLE XXI
EMINENT DOMAIN
Section 21.01. Total Condemnation.
If the whole of the Premises shall be acquired for any public or quasi-public use or purpose
or taken by eminent domain, then the Term shall cease and terminate as of the date possession or
title is given to such condemning authority in such proceeding and all rentals shall be paid up to
that date.
Section 21.02. Total Parking Area.
If the entire portion of the Common Area used for parking in the Entire Premises (“Parking
Area”) shall be acquired for any public or quasi-public use or purpose or taken by eminent domain,
then the Term shall cease and terminate as of the date possession or title is given to such
condemning authority in such proceeding unless Landlord shall provide other parking facilities
substantially equal to the previously existing ratio between the Parking Area and the Premises
within ninety (90) days from the date of such taking. In the event that Landlord shall provide such
other parking facilities, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect without abatement
of Rent or other charges.
Section 21.03. Partial Condemnation.
If any part of the Premises shall be acquired or taken by eminent domain for any public or
quasi-public use or purpose, and in the event that such partial taking or condemnation shall
render the Premises, in Landlord’s discretion, unsuitable for the operation of Tenant’s business,
then the Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date possession or title is given to such
condemning authority is such proceeding. In the event of a partial taking or condemnation which is
not extensive enough to render the Premises unsuitable for the operation of Tenant’s business,
then Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises to the extent of the condemnation proceeds to a
condition comparable to its condition at the time of such condemnation less the portion lost in
the taking, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and the Minimum Rent shall be
equitably reduced based on the percentage of floor area of the Premises lost in the taking.
Section 21.04. Partial Condemnation of Parking Area.
If any part of the Parking Area shall be acquired or condemned by eminent domain for any
public or quasi-public use or purpose and if, as the result of such partial taking the ratio of
square feet of Parking Area to square feet of the sales floor area of the Entire Premises is
reduced to a ratio below that permitted by law, then the Lease shall cease and terminate from the
date possession or title is given to such condemning authority in such proceeding, unless Landlord
shall provide reasonable evidence of its ability to increase the parking ratio to a permitted
ratio or Landlord can provide substitute parking either in or outside the Entire Premises, in
which event this Lease shall be unaffected and remain in full force and effect as between the
parties.
Section 21.05. Allocation of Award.
Except as provided below, in the event of any condemnation or taking as herein provided,
whether whole or partial, Tenant shall not be entitled to any part of the award, as damages or
otherwise, for such condemnation and Landlord is to receive the full amount of such award; Tenant
expressly waives any right or claim to any part thereof, including the right or claim for the
value of the unexpired portion of the Term or diminution in value of Tenant’s leasehold interest,
or for the value of any option to extend the Term or renew this Lease. Tenant shall, however, have
the right, provided such award shall not diminish Landlord’s award, to claim and recover from the
condemning
UNION CITY ENTERTAINMENT CENTER

authority, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by
Tenant in Tenant’s own right on account of any and all damages to Tenant’s business for Goodwill
and loss of income by reason of the condemnation and for or on account of any cost or less to
which Tenant might incur in removing Tenant’s merchandise, future, fixtures and equipment from the
Premises.
ARTICLE XXII
DEFAULT
Section 22.01. Tenant’s Default.
The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default by Tenant: (a) failure to
pay rent when due, if the failure continues for three (3) days after notice has been given to
Tenant; (b) abandonment and/or vacation of the Premises; (c) failure to operate in the Premises
for ten (10) consecutive days; (d) failure to perform any nonmonetary provision of this Lease if
the failure to perform is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice has been given to Tenant;
provided that if the nonmonetary default cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days,
Tenant shall not be default of this Lease if Tenant commences to cure the default within the
thirty (30) day period and diligently and in good faith continues to cure the default; and (e)
failure to timely deliver an estoppel certificate as required by Section 17.01.
Notices given under this Section 22.01 shall not be deemed a forfeiture or a termination of
this Lease unless Landlord so elects in the notice. Notices given under this Section 22.01 shall
be in lieu of and not in addition to any statutory notice required by law.
Section 22.02. Landlord’s Remedies.
Landlord shall have the following remedies if Tenant commits a default. These remedies are
not exclusive; they are cumulative in addition to any remedies now or later allowed by law.
Landlord can continue this Lease in full force and effect after Tenant’s default and
abandonment, and the Lease will continue in effect as long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s
right to possession, and Landlord may enforce all Landlord’s rights and remedies under the Lease,
including the right to collect Rent when due. During the period Tenant is in default, Landlord can
enter the Premises and relet them, or any part of them, to third parties for Tenant’s account.
Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting the
Premises, including, without limitation, brokers’ commissions, expenses of remodeling the Premises
required by the reletting, and like costs. Reletting can be for a period shorter or longer than
the remaining Term of this Lease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Rent due under this Lease on
the dates the Rent is due, less the rent Landlord receives from any reletting. No act allowed by
this Section 22.02 shall terminate this Lease unless Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord elects
to terminate this Lease.
If Landlord elects to relet the Premises as provided in this Section 22.02, Rent that
Landlord receives from reletting shall be applied to the payment of: first, any indebtedness from
Tenant to Landlord other than Rent due from Tenant; second, all costs, including maintenance,
incurred by Landlord in reletting; and third, Rent due and unpaid under this Lease. After
deducting the payments referred to in this Section, any sum remaining from the Rent Landlord
receives from reletting shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as Rent
becomes due under this Lease. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any excess Rent received by
Landlord. If, on the date Rent is due under this Lease, the Rent received from the reletting is
less than the Rent due on that date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to the remaining
Rent due, all costs, including maintenance, Landlord incurred in reletting that remain after
applying the Rent received from the reletting as provided in this Section 22.02.
Landlord can terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises at any time. No act by
Landlord other than giving notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance,
efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver on Landlord’s initiative to protect
Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to
possession. On termination, Landlord has the right to recover from Tenant: (a) the worth, at the
time of the award, of the unpaid rent that had been earned at the time of termination of this
Lease; (b) the worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid Rent that would
have been earned after the date of termination of this Lease until the time of award exceeds the
amount of the loss of Rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; and (d) any
other amount, and court costs, necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately
caused by Tenant’s default. “The worth, at the time of the award”, as used in (a) and (b) of this
Section 22.02, is to be computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate an individual is
permitted by law to charge. “The worth, at the time of the award,” as referred to in (c) of this
Section 22.02, is to be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal
Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award, plus one percent (1%).
Section 22.03. Appointment of Receiver.
If Tenant is in default of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to have a receiver
appointed to collect Rent and conduct Tenant’s business. Neither the filing of a petition for the
appointment of a receiver nor the appointment itself shall constitute an election by Landlord to
terminate this lease.
Section 22.04. Landlord’s Right to Cure Tenant’s Default.
Landlord, at any time after Tenant commits a default, can cure the default at Tenant’s cost.
If Landlord at any time, by reason of Tenant’s default, pays any sum or does any act that requires
the payment of any sum, the sum paid by Landlord shall be due immediately from Tenant to Landlord
at the time the sum is paid, and if paid at a later date shall bear interest at the maximum rate an
individual is permitted by law to charge from the date the sum is paid by Landlord until Landlord
is reimbursed by Tenant. The sum, together with interest on it, shall be additional rent.

Section 22.05. Waiver of Rights of Redemption.
Tenant expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or
future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of
Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the
covenants or conditions of this Lease, or otherwise.
Section 22.06. Default by Landlord.
If Landlord fails to perform any of the covenants or conditions required on its part to be
performed pursuant to this Lease, where such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days
after receipt of written notice specifying the nature and extent of such default in detail
(provided, however, that if such default is of a nature that it cannot reasonably be cured within
thirty (30) day period). Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for all damages sustained as a direct
result of such breach, subject to the additional rights of any mortgagees of Landlord as provided
in Section 17.04 herein. Landlord’s liability shall be limited to Landlord’s interest in the
Entire Premises. Neither Landlord nor any of its partners shall be personally liable.

executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of said parties; and if there shall be more

hindrance or interruption by Landlord or any other person or persons lawfully or equitably
claiming by, through or under the Landlord, subject, nevertheless, to the terms and conditions of

similar governmental agency, as may then be in existence and shall, in Landlord’s opinion,
be most nearly equivalent thereto.
(b) The sum to be increased in accordance with the provisions of the Index shall be
increased using the following formula: Such sum shall be increased by a percentage equal to
the percentage increase, if any, in the Index published for the Comparison Month over the
Index published for the Base Month; provided, however, in no event shall said sum be less
than that which was due immediately preceding the date of adjustment. If no Comparison

Section 25.02. Waiver.
No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rent herein
stipulated shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other default, term, covenant or condition
concerning the same. 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 subsequent acceptance of Rent
hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any
term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular
rental so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of
acceptance of such Rent.
Section 25.03. Accord and Satisfaction.
No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rent herein
stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated Rent, nor shall
any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent

prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy in
this Lease.
