3. DEMISED PREMISES

3.1 DEMISED PREMISES: Landlord hereby leases to Tenant the Demised Premises (“Demised Premises”), together with the right to use all parking areas, driveways, sidewalks, roads, alleys and means of ingress and egress, which are part of and appurtenant to the Shopping Center (“Shopping Center”). The Demised Premises, shown attached, together with and including the adjacent property shown, on the plot plan attached hereto and made part hereof as Exhibit “A” comprise the Shopping Center, which shall be located and have the configuration, access and traffic patterns as shown on said Exhibit “A”, and as more particularly set forth on Exhibit “B” attached hereto and made a part hereof.

The Demised Premises shall be measured from the center of interior walls and from the outside of exterior walls. The Demised Premises include the roof and exterior surfaces of all exterior walls, the use of which is expressly reserved to Landlord.

3.2 SQUARE FOOTAGE: It is understood and agreed that the square footage figures set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions are approximations which Lessor and Tenant agree are reasonable and shall not be subject to revision except in connection with an actual change in the size of the Premises or a change in the space available for lease.

4. TERM

4.1 ORIGINAL TERM: The Original Term (“Term”) of this Lease shall be of the duration set forth in Section 1. Hereof and shall commence on October 1, 2003 and shall end on September 30, 2008. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease, commencing on October 1, 2005, by delivering such notice to terminate, in writing, not less than six (6) months in advance of the termination date. Such notice shall be accompanied by a check in an amount that is equal to the number of months remaining on the lease following the termination date multiplied by $99.00. This payment represents the pro-rated reimbursement of Lessor’s costs associated with the procurement of the Lease.

4.2 EARLY ENTRY: In the event Tenant is permitted to enter the Demised Premises for any reason whatsoever before the commencement date, all terms, provisions, covenants, conditions, and agreements contained in this Lease, shall become effective, including without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to pay all charges due hereunder (other than Tenant’s obligation to pay Fixed Minimum Monthly Rent), such as, without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to obtain insurance and pay all utility charges as well as Tenant’s share of taxes and assessments, as hereinafter defined, Common Area Maintenance Charges (as hereinafter defined), and Merchant Association dues.

4.3 MEMORANDUM OF TERM: Intentionally Omitted.

4.4 OUTSIDE DATE: Intentionally Omitted.

4.4.1 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES:

4.5 FINANCING: Landlord shall have the right to finance and refinance from time to time, the shopping center of which the Demised Premises are a part. Should any prospective Lender require an amendment to this Lease, at Landlord’s Request, Tenant shall forthwith execute an amendment incorporating changes that do not materially affect the terms of this Lease. Should Tenant refuse to execute such amendment within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s request, Tenant shall be in default under this Lease.

5. RENT

5.1 FIXED MINIMUM MONTHLY RENT: Commencing on the commencement date and on the first day of each calendar month in advance thereafter during the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as hereinafter provided, a rental (“Fixed Minimum Monthly Rent”) which shall be one-twelfth (1/12th) the Fixed Annual Rental Rate set forth in Article 1.

5.2 PERCENTAGE RENT: Intentionally Omitted.

5.3 PRO-RATIONS: In the event any portion of the Term shall include a partial monthly period, Fixed Minimum Annual Rental shall be pro-rated on the basis of one-three hundred sixty-fifth (1/365th) for each day within such partial monthly period.

5.4 PAYMENT OF RENT: Tenant shall pay to Landlord all rents due hereunder in lawful money of the United States, without deduction or set-off of any kind. At Tenant’s risk, Tenant may use the United States mail for delivery of the rental payment, and until otherwise notified by Landlord, Tenant may tender payment by check in lieu of cash or certified or bank cashier’s check. Landlord’s receipt and deposit thereof shall not constitute payment of such rental due until such check has been honored and payment therefore received by Landlord. In the event any check so tendered is dishonored by Tenant’s drawee bank, for any reason, Tenant shall pay to Landlord in addition to the rental then due an additional

Cuyamaca Bank/La Mesa Lease		Initial
Standard Shopping Center Lease		Initial
28731-6/1822140.2 [Word]				01/30/03

processing charge of Fifty ($50.00) Dollars or ten percent (10%) of such rental installment, whichever is larger, to reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s additional costs incurred as a result of such dishonored check, including without limitation processing and accounting charges. Any amounts not paid by Tenant to Landlord when due hereunder shall bear interest at the Interest Rate (as hereinafter defined). In the event Tenant fails to make any payment of rent when due on any three (3) occasions in any twelve (12) month period, at Landlord’s option, Landlord may require Tenant to pay rent to Landlord on a quarter-annual basis in advance. Tenant’s failure to make any quarter-annual payment thereafter shall be a default hereunder.

5.5 LATE CHARGES: Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Lessor by terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Lessor or Lessor’s designee within five (5) days after such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to 10% of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3) consecutive installments of rent, then rent shall automatically become due and payable quarterly in advance, rather than monthly, notwithstanding paragraph 4 or any other provision of this Lease to the contrary.

5.6 ADJUSTMENT OF FIXED MINIMUM MONTHLY RENT: Fixed Minimum Monthly Rent shall be increased, but in no event decreased, as of each year during the Term (“rent adjustment date”) by 3%.

Landlord’s failure to inform Tenant of such rent adjustment within the calendar year of such adjustment or anytime thereafter shall not preclude Landlord from informing Tenant thereof at a later date and collecting the increase of the Fixed Minimum Monthly Rent from the appropriate date of such adjustment to the date of such notice to Tenant. Any sum owing by Tenant on account of rent adjustments shall be paid in full within ten (10) days of billing. If Landlord, at Landlord’s sole discretion, elects to accept such payment in installments, the amount owing shall bear interest at the Interest Rate described in Paragraph 31.12 of this Lease.

5.7 LEASE YEAR: The first Lease Year shall commence on October 1, 2003 and shall terminate on September 30, 2004. Each Lease Year thereafter shall commence on October 1, and shall end on September 30, next following.

Cuyamaca Bank/La Mesa Lease		Initial
Standard Shopping Center Lease		Initial
28731-6/1822140.2 [Word]				01/30/03

or (b) for repairs or replacements (as opposed to additions or new improvements); provided, all such permitted capital expenditures (together with reasonable finance charges) shall be amortized for purposes of this lease over the useful life of the improvements. Tenant shall be responsible for Tenant’s proportionate share of such permitted amortization of capital expenditures during the Term; and

(iii) earthquake and flood insurance.

Tenant’s pro-rata share of Common Area Maintenance Charges shall be calculated by multiplying the annual total thereof by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of square feet of floor area in the Demised Premises, and the denominator of which is the total number of square feet of gross leasable area within the Shopping Center.

Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly on the first day of each month in advance, together with Tenant’s payment of rent hereunder, one-twelfth (1/12th) of Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Common Area Maintenance Charges plus Mall Operating Costs (if applicable) for such year based on charges and costs for the previous year increased appropriately in accordance with increases experienced during the most recent years.

At the end of the year Landlord shall calculate all Common Area Maintenance Charges and Mall Operating Costs. In the event Tenant shall have paid to Landlord an amount in excess of Tenant’s pro-rata share of such actual Common Area Maintenance Charges or Mall Operating Costs, such excess charges shall be applied to the next installment of estimated Common Area Maintenance Charges or Mall Operating Costs payable hereunder. If it is determined that Tenant’s pro-rata share of such Common Area Maintenance Charges or Mall Operating Costs exceeds the amount paid by Tenant, Tenant shall forthwith pay the total amount due to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord’s xxxx thereof.

Landlord’s failure to inform Tenant of Tenant’s share of such charges for any particular year shall not preclude Landlord from informing Tenant thereof at a later date and collecting the increase of Common Area Maintenance Charges and Mall Operating Costs from the appropriate date of such adjustment to the date of such notice to Tenant. Any sum owing by Tenant on account of Common Area Maintenance Charges and Mall Operating Costs shall be paid in full within ten (10) days of billing. If Landlord, at Landlord’s sole discretion, elects to accept such payment in installments, the amount owing shall bear interest at the Interest Rate described in Paragraph 31.12 of this Lease.

Tenant shall have the right to inspect Landlord’s records for Common Area Maintenance Charges for the most recent year ending December 31, at the office of Landlord’s management agent or such other place as Landlord’s may designate for such records to be maintained. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a notice not less than seven days prior to the date Tenant or Tenant representative wants the records to be made available for inspection. Should Tenant’s review of the records disclose an error in the amount billed to Tenant, an adjustment shall be made and the shortage/overage shall be paid by the appropriate party to the other within ten days of agreement between the parties as to the correct adjustment.

10. UTILITIES

Except as hereinafter set forth, Tenant shall make its own arrangements with all utility companies for all utilities required by Tenant for the operation of Tenant’s business within the Demised Premises. Tenant shall pay before delinquency all charges for gas, heat, sewer, power, electricity, telephone, storm drain, water service and water meter charges, and all other utility charges including hook-up or connection fees or charges with respect to he Demised Premises during the Term. Landlord shall have the right to interrupt the furnishing of utilities at such times as may be necessary by reason of accident, repairs, alterations or improvements, failure of power supply or any other cause whatsoever beyond the control of Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable in damages or rebate of charges of any kind whatsoever and Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction of its rent obligations, if the service of such utilities by Landlord or by any other supplier or any utility service or other service to the Demised Premises or the Shopping Center shall be interrupted or impaired by fire, accident, riot, strike, acts of God, the making of necessary repairs or improvements or for any other cause. If interruption is caused by Landlord’s negligence, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of rent until such services are restored.

All such repairs shall be made by Tenant as speedily as reasonably possible at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

Such items shall include without limitation: roof (excluding structural portions), service lines and drops located outside the perimeter of the Demised Premises, and painting or staining of exterior walls, trim, or accessories as Landlord from time to time determines. Tenant’s pro-rata share thereof shall be calculated by multiplying the total amount thereof by a fraction, the numerator of which is the leasable area within the Demised Premises and the denominator of which is the gross leasable area within the building of which the Demised Premises form a part. In the event any repairs are required to Tenant’s sign and Tenant fails to make such required repairs, Landlord shall repair same upon five (5) days notice to Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense plus interest at the Interest Rate from the date of Landlord’s payment thereof.

In the event Tenant fails or refuses to make any repairs it is required to make, in addition to all other rights and remedies hereunder and any other which now or hereafter may be available to Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the right to enter the Demised Premises with men and equipment to perform such repairs on behalf and at the expense of Tenant. Landlord may make any and all emergency repairs as Landlord deems necessary. In the event of any of the foregoing, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord Landlord’s costs and expenses thereto together with ten percent (10%) covering Landlord’s overhead.

All such work shall be performed in good and workmanlike manner and shall be subject to Landlord’s approval upon completion thereof and in accordance with all legal requirements. Tenant shall notify Landlord not less than two (2) weeks prior to commencing such work, of Tenant’s intentions so to do in order to enable Landlord to post a Notice of Non-responsibility in accordance with California Law. All alterations to or upon or within the Demised Premises, except removable trade fixtures, shall upon completion or installation be deemed to be attached to the realty and shall become the property of the Landlord at the option of the Landlord.

In the event, as a result of any such alterations to the Demised Premises, any portion thereof or the building of which the Demised Premises form a part made by Tenant or at Tenant’s request, whether or not consented to by Landlord, any repairs, alterations, modifications, or changes are required to be made to any other portion of the Shopping Center, the Demised Premises or the building of which the Demised Premises form a part in order to comply with any legal requirements all such repairs, changes, modifications, alterations shall be done at Tenant’s cost and expense, which Tenant shall pay upon receipt of Landlord’s xxxx therefore.

In no event shall any such sign consist of moving parts or flashing, oscillating, or moving lights or variable lighting intensities. Landlord shall have the right to remove any sign in order to paint or make repairs, alterations, or improvements in, on, or about the Demised Premises. Landlord shall have the right from time to time to promulgate new sign criteria to which Tenant shall conform.

14. INDEMNITY

14.1 LANDLORD INDEMNIFICATION: Tenant covenants that Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or liability of any kind or for any damage or injury to persons or property from any cause whatsoever arising from or during the use, occupation, and enjoyment of the Demised Premises by the Tenant or any person thereon or holding under Tenant, and Tenant will indemnify and save Landlord harmless from all Claims arising in any way with respect to such damage or injury and from all liens and Claims arising out of any repairs or alterations which Tenant may make in, on, or about the Demised Premises unless arising as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Tenant shall not be liable for any damage or injury arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, servants, or employees.

14.2 SUBROGATION: Landlord and Tenant hereby waive all rights each may have against the other including from negligence on account of the loss or damage suffered by Landlord or Tenant, with respect to their respective property, or the Demised Premises, arising from any risk generally covered by fire and extended coverage insurance, and each agree to have their respective insurance companies insuring the property of either Landlord or Tenant against such loss, waive any right of subrogation it may have against the other.

14.3 INSURANCE: Tenant shall carry and maintain during the Term at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, the following insurance, in the amount specified and in the form hereinafter provided for:

(a) Public Liability and Property Damage: Broad form comprehensive general liability insurance with limits of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) combined single limit bodily injury and property damage insurance insuring against any and all liability of Tenant with respect to the Demised Premises or arising out of the maintenance, use, or occupancy thereof. Said, property damage insurance shall include plate glass coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief endorsement, naming the Landlord as additional insured.

(b) Fixture Insurance: A policy or policies of fire insurance risk coverage to the extent of at least one hundred percent (100%) of the full insurable value of Tenant’s improvements, fixtures, equipment and merchandise which may from time to time be located in, on, or about the Demised Premises, and trade fixtures and equipment of others in Tenant’s possession located in, on, or about the Demised Premises. The proceeds from any such policy shall be used for the repair or replacement of said improvements, fixtures, equipment or merchandise.

(c) Policy Form: All policies of insurance to be provided herein by Tenant shall be issued by good and solvent insurance companies licensed to do business in the state

Cuyamaca Bank/La Mesa Lease		Initial
Standard Shopping Center Lease		Initial
28731-6/1822140.2 [Word]				01/30/03

in which the Demised Premises are located, having not less than A+ Best XIV Rating and, except for the policies under Section 14 (b) above, shall be issued in the names of Landlord and Tenant for the mutual and joint benefit and protection of parties. Executed copies of all such polices of insurance or certificates thereof indicating payment of all premiums with respect thereto shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the commencement of the Term and replacement certificates shall be delivered to Landlord not less than thirty (30) days before the expiration of the then current term thereof. All public liability and property damage policies shall contain a provision that Landlord, although named as an insured, shall nevertheless be entitled to recovery under said policies for any loss, injury, or damage to Landlord, its servants, agents, and employees by reason of the acts or omissions of Tenant, its servants, agents, or employees. In the event that Tenant fails to furnish Landlord with any insurance certificate required to be furnished to Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, and if such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days following Landlord’s notice to Tenant to furnish such certificate, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord on each such occasion the sum of $350.00 to compensate Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable administrative costs in attempting to secure such certificate from Tenant. Payment of such sum by Tenant to Landlord shall not relieve Tenant from the obligation to furnish the required certificates to Landlord.

Any insurance policy carried by Landlord or Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, shall be primary and non-contributing with insurance carried by the other party. Each certificate of insurance furnished to Landlord and each policy of insurance required to be maintained by Tenant shall contain an endorsement or provision requiring:

(b) That not less than thirty (30) days written notice be given to the Landlord prior to the cancellation or reduction of coverage or material change in any such policy; and

(c) An express waiver of any right of subrogation against Landlord as herein above called for.

Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, Tenant’s obligations to carry the insurance provided for herein may be brought within the coverage of a blanket policy or policies of insurance carried and maintained by Tenant, provided, however, that Landlord shall be named as an additional insured hereunder as its interest may appear, and that the coverage afforded Landlord will not be reduced or diminished by reason of the use of such blanket policy of insurance, and provided further that all requirements herein are otherwise satisfied.

14.4 INCREASES IN RATES OR PREMIUMS: Tenant will not at any time during the Term carry any stock of goods or do anything in, on, or about the Demised Premises which will in any way tend to increase the insurance rates with respect to the Shopping Center, the Demised Premises, or the building of which they form a part. Tenant shall pay to Landlord immediately upon demand the amount of any increase in premiums for insurance resulting from any act or omission of Tenant regardless of whether or not Landlord may have consented to any such act or omission on the part of Tenant. Landlord expressly reserves the right to increase the amounts and limits of insurance as herein above provided which Tenant must maintain hereunder if such increase is deemed necessary and advisable in Landlord’s good business judgment. Tenant acknowledges that certain uses of the Demised Premises (such as a restaurant or catering establishment) may cause an increase in the insurance rates or premiums with respect to the Demised Premises or the Shopping Center. Tenant shall pay all costs and increases caused by such use, whether or not (i) Landlord consented to such use, (ii) such use is the use set forth in Article 1.8 hereof, or (iii) Tenant has complied with all legal requirements, including recommendations or requirements of Landlord’s insurance carriers, and whether or not such increases apply to all or any portion of the Shopping Center.

14.5 LANDLORD’S INSURANCE: Landlord shall maintain general public liability insurance with respect to the Shopping Center and fire and extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, loss of rental income, and sprinkler leakage (if applicable) insurance in such form and with such covered perils as Landlord deems appropriate in its sole discretion insuring the buildings and other improvements within the Shopping Center. All proceeds shall belong to and be the sole property of Landlord and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord and Landlord’s nominee all of Tenant’s rights, title and interest thereto. All premiums with respect to such insurance and all costs with respect thereto shall be included in Common Area Maintenance Charges of which Tenant shall pay its pro-rata share as elsewhere herein provided.

14.6 ADDITIONAL INSURANCE: Landlord shall have the right to maintain blanket policies provided any insurance premium payable by Tenant with respect thereto shall be determined as the premium Tenant would have been required to pay as if Landlord had caused a separate policy to have been issued.

15. DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION

A. If during the term, the Demised Premises or the Shopping Center and other improvements in which the Demised Premises are located are totally or partially destroyed or damaged from a risk covered by the insurance required to be maintained under this Lease, rendering the Demised

Cuyamaca Bank/La Mesa Lease		Initial
Standard Shopping Center Lease		Initial
28731-6/1822140.2 [Word]				01/30/03

Premises totally or partially inaccessible or unusable, Landlord shall restore the Demised Premises or the Shopping Center and other improvements in which the premises are located to substantially the same condition as they were in immediately before the event. Such damage or destruction shall not terminate the Lease. If existing laws do not permit the restoration, either party can terminate the Lease immediately by giving notice to the other party. If the cost of restoration exceeds the amount of the proceeds received from the insurance carried, Landlord can elect to terminate the Lease by giving notice to Tenant within 30 days after determining that the restoration cost will exceed the insurance proceeds. In the case of damage or destruction to the Demised Premises only, if Landlord so elects to terminate the Lease, Tenant, within 15 days after receiving Landlord’s notice to terminate, can elect to pay to Landlord, at the time Tenant notifies Landlord of its election, the difference between the amount of insurance proceeds and the cost of restoration, in which case Landlord shall restore the Demised Premises. Landlord shall give Tenant satisfactory evidence that all sums contributed by Tenant as above provided have been expended by Landlord in paying the cost of restoration. If Landlord elects to terminate the Lease and Tenant does not elect to contribute to the cost of restoration as provided above, the Lease shall terminate.

B. If during the term the Demised Premises or the Shopping Center and other improvements in which the Demised Premises are located are totally or partially destroyed or damaged from a risk not covered by the insurance required to be maintained under this Lease, rendering the Demised Premises totally or partially inaccessible or unusable, Landlord may elect to either restore the Demised Premises or the Shopping Center and other improvements in which the premises are located to substantially the same condition as they were in immediately before the event, or to terminate the Lease. However, in the case of damage or destruction of the Demised Premises only, if Landlord elects to terminate the Lease, Tenant, within 15 days after receiving Landlord’s notice to terminate, can elect to pay to Landlord, at the time Tenant notifies Landlord of its election, the actual cost of restoration, in which case Landlord shall restore the premises. Landlord shall give Tenant satisfactory evidence that all sums contributed by Tenant as provided above have been expended by Landlord in paying the cost of restoration.

If Landlord elects to terminate the Lease and Tenant does not elect to contribute the cost of restoration as provided above, the Lease shall terminate.

C. In the case of damage or destruction to the Demised Premises or the Shopping Center, where the Lease is not terminated, there shall be no abatement or reduction of rent, regardless of whether or not caused by a risk covered by insurance.

D. If damage or destruction to the Demised Premises occurs during the last year of the term, either party may terminate the Lease by giving notice to the other party not more than 30 days following the destruction, regardless of whether or not caused by a risk covered by insurance.

E. Tenant waives the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932 (2) and 1933(4) with respect to any destruction of the Demised Premises or Building. Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice to the Landlord within 30 days following damage or destruction if damage is to the extent that Tenant cannot operate its business from the premises and the damage will take more than sixty days to repair.

16. EMINENT DOMAIN

If there is any taking of or damage to all or any part of the Demised Premises or any interest therein because of the exercise of the power of eminent domain, whether by condemnation proceedings or otherwise, or any transfer of any part of the Demised Premises or any interest therein made in avoidance of the exercise of the power of eminent domain (all of the foregoing being hereinafter referred to as “taking”) prior to or during the Term hereof, the rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to such taking shall be as follows:

A. If there is a taking of all of the Demised Premises, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such taking;

B. If twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the ground floor area of the Demised Premises shall be taken, or twenty-five percent (25%) of the land area described in Exhibit “B” (as the same may be amended) shall be taken (regardless of whether or not any part of the Demised Premises is taken) then, in that event, Landlord shall be entitled either to terminate this Lease or to rebuild the remainder of the Demised Premises or the Shopping Center. Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant of its election no later than ninety (90) days after the date Landlord receives notice that possession or title to the portion of the Demised Premises or Shopping Center taken has vested in the condemner.

If this Lease is terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 16 such termination shall become effective as of the date physical possession of the particular portion is taken or immediate possession is ordered. The parties shall be released from all further liability hereunder. If this Lease is not terminated as provided in this Xxxxxxxxx 00, Xxxxxxxx shall restore the remainder of the improvements occupied by Tenant so far as practicable to a complete unit of like quality, character, and condition as that which existed immediately prior to the taking.

Cuyamaca Bank/La Mesa Lease		Initial
Standard Shopping Center Lease		Initial
28731-6/1822140.2 [Word]				01/30/03

If this Lease is not terminated as provided in the Paragraph 16, the annual fixed minimum rent only set forth in Article 1 for the remainder of the Term shall be reduced by the proportion which the number of square feet of ground floor area of the Demised Premises taken bears to the total ground floor area of the Demised Premises immediately before the taking.

The entire award or compensation in such proceedings, whether for a total or partial taking or for diminution in the value of the leasehold or for the fee shall belong to and be the property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of Tenant’s interest in any award.

17. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

Except in the case of an assignment to a wholly-owned subsidiary or as part of an acquisition of Tenant by another entity, Tenant shall not voluntarily assign or encumber its interest in this Lease or in the Demised Premises, or sublease all or any part of the Demised Premises, or allow any other person or entity to occupy or use all or any part of the Demised Premises, without first obtaining Landlord’s consent. Any assignment, encumbrance, or sublease without Landlord’s consent shall be voidable and, at Landlord’s election, shall constitute a default. No consent to any assignment, encumbrance, or sublease shall constitute a further waiver of the provisions of this Article. No interest of Tenant herein shall be assignable by operation of law (including without limitation, any transfer by testacy or intestacy).

Tenant immediately and irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, all rent from any subletting of all or a part of the Demised Premises as permitted by this Lease, and Landlord, as assignee and as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, or a receiver for Tenant appointed on Landlord’s application, may collect such rent and apply it toward Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; except that, until the occurrence of an act of default by Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to collect such rent.

Each transfer, assignment, or subletting to which the Landlord has consented, shall be by an instrument in writing and shall be executed by the transferor, assignor or sublessor, and the transferee, assignee, or subtenant in each instance, as the case may be, in such manner that it may be recorded in the Office of the County Recorder of the County in which the Demised Premises are located; and each transferee, assignee or subtenant shall agree in writing for the benefit of the 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 the Tenant. One executed copy of such written instrument shall be delivered to the Landlord. Failure to comply with the provisions of this Article shall operate to prevent any such transfer, assignment or subletting from becoming effective. No transfer or attempted transfer of any interest herein shall relieve Tenant from any obligation or liability under this Lease without the express written consent of Landlord.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord’s overall operations of the Shopping Center will be substantially impaired if the Trustee in bankruptcy or any assignee or any subtenant makes any use of the Demised Premises other than the uses as permitted herein. Recognizing that the financial condition, resources and capability of Tenant were a material inducement to Landlord in entering into this Lease, consent of Landlord to any requested assignment shall not be unreasonably withheld if:

A. At the time of such requested assignment or transfer, Tenant is not in default under any of the terms, provisions, covenants, conditions, or agreements of this Lease;

B. The proposed assignee or subtenant shall expressly assume in writing all of Tenant’s obligations to Landlord under this Lease;

C. The proposed assignee or subtenant must have (as demonstrated to the satisfaction of Landlord and Landlord’s lender) a net worth (as defined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied) at least as great as the net worth of Tenant on the commencement date, increased by seven percent (7%) for each year from the commencement date through the date of the proposed assignment or subletting;

D. Any proposed assignee shall have been successfully engaged, in Landlord’s sole opinion, in the use set forth in Section 1.8 hereof for at least five (5) years prior to such proposed assignment or subletting;

E. Such assignment or subletting is at a rent equivalent to or greater than rents then being asked of similar tenants for similar space within shopping centers of like size and like size and quality.

F. Such subletting is not applicable to less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Demised Premises and any assignment is not less than all of Tenant’s interest in this lease; and

G. The Demised Premises shall be used solely for the purposes set forth in Article 1 hereof.

In connection with any such assignment or subletting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Landlord’s standard fee of $500.00 plus Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fee for acting upon such request. In the event of any such assignment or sub-letting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all monies received by Tenant from any assignee or subtenant in excess of the amounts due Landlord hereunder, whether Tenant receives such money as rent or as premium in connection with any such assignment or subletting.

17.1 SUBORDINATION: At Landlord’s election this Lease shall be subordinate or superior to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust (collectively herein “trust deed”) now or hereafter affecting the Demised Premises, the Shopping Center, or any portion thereof. If Landlord at any time elects that this Lease be subordinate to the lien of any such trust deed, Landlord shall give notice thereof to Tenant. Landlord may elect at any time thereafter to have the lien of this Lease be paramount to the lien of such trust deed. This clause shall be self operative and no further instrument shall be required.

If Landlord’s interest in the Shopping Center or the Demised Premises is a leasehold interest and the Master Lessor or any successor thereof succeeds to Landlord’s interest in the Shopping Center herein upon request of such Master Lessor or successor, Tenant shall attorn thereto and execute a new lease for the Demised Premises upon all of the terms, provisions, covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein except that the term for such new lease shall be for the balance of the Term hereof.

18. TENANT’S DEFAULTS

The following shall be deemed to be acts of default by Tenant under this Lease:

A. Tenant shall fail, neglect or refuse to pay any installment of fixed minimum rent, additional rent, percentage rent or any other charge including, without limitation, penalty charges, required to be paid by Tenant hereunder at the time and in the amount as herein provided, or pay any moneys agreed by it to be paid promptly when and as the same shall become due and payable under the terms hereof and such default shall continue for a period of more than 3 days after notice thereof in writing given to Tenant by Lessor.

Tenant shall fail, neglect or refuse to keep and perform any of the other covenants, conditions, stipulations or agreements herein contained and covenanted and agreed to be kept and performed by Tenant and such default shall continue for a period of more than 15 days after notice thereof in writing given to Tenant by Lessor; provided, however, that if the cause for giving such notice involves the making of repairs or other matters reasonably requiring a longer period of time than the period of such notice, Tenant shall be deemed to have complied with such notice if Tenant has commenced and is diligently prosecuting compliance therewith.

C. Any attachment or levy of execution or similar seizure of the Demised Premises or Tenant’s merchandise, fixtures or other property at the Demised Premises or any foreclosure, repossession, or sale under any chattel mortgage, security agreement or conditional sales contract covering Tenant’s merchandise, fixtures or other property at the Demised Premises; or the filing of any petition by or against Tenant under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Act, or the adjudication of Tenant as a bankrupt or insolvent; or the appointment of a receiver or trustee to take possession of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or a general assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors; or any other action taken or suffered by Tenant under any State or Federal insolvency or bankruptcy act and the continuation thereof for more than 120 days. Neither this Lease nor any interest herein nor any estate created hereby shall pass by operation of law under any State or Federal insolvency or bankruptcy act to any trustee, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors or any other person whatsoever without the prior written consent of Lessor.

In the event of an act of default by Tenant, Lessor may, at its option: (1) Terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Demised Premises because of such breach and recover from Tenant all damages allowed under Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code, including, without limitation, the worth at the time of the 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 Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, or; (2) Not terminate Tenant’s right to possession because of such breach, but continue this Lease in full force and effect; and in that event (a) Lessor may enforce all rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all attorney’s fees and costs incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s breach hereunder, the rent and all other charges due hereunder as such rent and other charges become due, and (b) Tenant may assign its interest in this Lease with Lessor’s prior written consent; (3) Declare a forfeiture of the lease and terminate all of Tenant’s rights in accordance with such forfeiture.

In the event of any reentry, Lessor may remove all persons from the Demised Premises and all property and any signs located in or about the Demised Premises and place such property in storage in a public warehouse at the cost and risk of Tenant.

No reentry or reletting of the Demised Premises of any nature served under unlawful detainer action or the filing of any unlawful detainer or similar action shall be construed as an election by Lessor to

Cuyamaca Bank/La Mesa Lease		Initial
Standard Shopping Center Lease		Initial
28731-6/1822140.2 [Word]				01/30/03

terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given by Lessor to Tenant; and notwithstanding any such reletting with such termination, Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease.

Except in the case of Lessor’s willful misconduct, Tenant hereby waives all claims or demands for damages that may be caused by Lessor in reentering and taking possession of the Demised Premises as hereinabove provided and all claims or demands for damages which may result from the destruction of or injury to the Demised Premises and all claims or demands for damages or loss of property belonging to Tenant or to any other person or firm that may be in or about the Demised Premises at the time of such reentry.

The rights, privileges, elections and remedies of Landlord in this Paragraph 19 are cumulative and not alternative. Nothing contained in this Lease shall limit Landlord to the remedies set forth in this Paragraph 19, and upon Tenant’s default Landlord shall be entitled to exercise any right or remedy then provided by law, including, but not limited to, the right to obtain injunctive relief and the right to recover all damages caused by Tenant’s default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease.

19. BANKRUPTCY

Landlord and Tenant understand that notwithstanding certain provisions to the contrary contained herein, a trustee or debtor in possession under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States (the “Bankruptcy Code”) may have certain rights to assume or assign this Lease. Landlord and Tenant further understand that in any event Landlord is entitled under the Bankruptcy code to adequate assurances of future performance of the terms and provisions of this Lease. For purposes of any such assumption or assignment, the parties hereto agree that the term “adequate assurance” shall include at least the following:

(a) In order to assure Landlord that the proposed assignee will have the resources with which to pay the rent called for herein, any proposed assignee must have (as demonstrated to the satisfaction of Landlord) a net worth (as defined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied) applied) at least as great as the net worth of Tenant on the commencement date, increased by seven percent (7%) for each year from commencement date through the date of proposed assignment. The parties hereto agree that the financial condition and resources of Tenant were a material inducement to Landlord in entering this Lease.

(b) Any proposed assignee must have been engaged in the permitted use for at least five (5) years prior to any such proposed assignment.

(c) In entering into this Lease, Landlord considered extensively the permitted use and determined that such permitted use would add substantially to Landlord’s tenant balance and that if it were not for Tenant’s agreement to make only the permitted use of the Demised Premises, Landlord would not have entered into this Lease. Landlord’s overall operation will be substantially impaired if the trustee in bankruptcy or any assignee of this Lease makes any use of the Demised Premises other than the permitted use.

(d) Any proposed assignee of this Lease must assume and agree to be personally bound by the terms, provisions, and covenants of this Lease.

20. SALE OR TRANSFER OF DEMISED PREMISES

If Landlord sells or transfers all or any portion of the Shopping Center or the Demised Premises, or the building, improvements, and land of which the Demised Premises form a part, upon consummation of such sale or transfer Landlord shall be released from all liability under this Lease provided the new owner assumes such liabilities arising prior to the date of transfer. In the event of any such transfer or sale, Landlord shall transfer the security deposit or any prepaid rent to Landlord’s successor and on such transfer Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability thereto.

21. LANDLORD’S DEFAULT AND LIABILITY

21.1 LANDLORD’S DEFAULT: Landlord shall in no event be charged with default in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder unless and until Landlord shall have failed to perform such obligations within thirty (30) days (or such additional time as is reasonably required to correct any such defaults) after written notice by Tenant to Landlord properly specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform any such obligation. Notwithstanding any default by Landlord, Tenant shall not have the right to exercise any remedy provided for herein or at law unless and until Tenant shall have delivered a written notice to any lender holding a trust deed against the Demised Premises or the Shopping Center or portion thereof specifying wherein Landlord has failed to correct or remedy such default, which such notice may not be delivered until after the expiration of the period set forth herein for Landlord to remedy such default and shall grant to the lender an additional equal period within which to cure such default.

21.2 LANDLORDS LIABILITY: Landlord shall have absolutely no personal liability with respect to any provision of this Lease or any obligation or liability arising there from or in connection therewith. In the

Cuyamaca Bank/La Mesa Lease		Initial
Standard Shopping Center Lease		Initial
28731-6/1822140.2 [Word]				01/30/03

event Landlord shall be determined to be liable to Tenant as a result of any default by Landlord hereunder, it is expressly understood and agreed that any money judgment against Landlord resulting from any default or other claim arising under this Lease shall be satisfied only out of the net rents, issues, profits, and other income (for the purposes of this Article only, collectively herein called “net income”), actually received from the operation of the Shopping Center or Landlord’s interest in the Shopping Center, and no other real, personal or fixed property of Landlord, wherever situated, shall be subject to levy on any such judgment obtained against Landlord. If such net income and the value of Landlord’s interest are insufficient for the payment of such judgment, Tenant will not institute any further action, suit, claim or demand, in law or in equity, against Landlord for or on the account of such deficiency. Tenant hereby waives, to the extent allowed under law, any right to satisfy said money judgment against Landlord except from net income received by Landlord from the operation of the Shopping Center. For the purposes of this Article only, the term “Landlord” shall mean any and all partners, general and/or limited, or joint ventures, if any, which comprise Landlord. Such exculpation of liability shall be absolute and without any exception whatsoever.

22. HOLDING OVER

If Tenant remains in possession of the Demised Premises after expiration of the Term hereby demised, such holding over shall be deemed to be a holding over upon a tenancy from month-to-month at a monthly rental equal to one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) of the monthly installment of Fixed Minimum Monthly Rent due under the terms of this Lease for the month next preceding the commencement of the holdover period, and Tenant shall remain liable for all other payments provided hereunder, including, but not limited to, percentage rent, taxes, insurance, maintenance and Common Area costs, and such holding over shall be subject to all of the other terms and conditions of this Lease.

In the event Landlord relets the Demised Premises to a new tenant and the term of such new lease commences during the period for which Tenant holds over, then such holding over shall be deemed a breach of Tenant’s covenant to deliver up the Demised Premises upon the termination or expiration of the Term of this Lease, and Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant any and all costs, expenses, reasonable attorney’s fees, damages, loss of profits or any other costs resulting from Tenant’s failure to deliver possession of the Demised Premises to the new tenant.

23. SURRENDER OF PREMISES

At the expiration of the tenancy hereby created, Tenant shall surrender the Demised Premises in the same condition as the Demised Premises were in upon delivery of possession thereto under this Lease, in addition to any alterations or additions which tenant elects to keep as elsewhere provided herein, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and shall surrender all keys for the Demised Premises to Landlord at the place then fixed for the payment of rent and shall inform Landlord of all combinations on locks, safes and vaults, if any, in the Demised Premises. No act or conduct of Landlord, except a written acknowledgment of acceptance of the surrender signed by Landlord, shall be deemed to be or constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the Demised Premises by Tenant prior to the expiration of the Term of this Lease.

If prior to the termination of this Lease or within fifteen (15) days thereafter, Landlord elects, by written notice to Tenant, Tenant shall promptly remove the additions, improvements, fixtures, trade fixtures and installments which were placed in the Demised Premises by Tenant and which are designated in said notice and shall repair any damage occasioned by such removal; and in default thereof Landlord may effect said removals and repairs at Tenant’s expense. The covenants of Tenant contained herein shall survive the expiration or termination of the lease term.

24. COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT

Landlord covenants that if Tenant pays the rent and all other charges provided for herein, performs all of its obligations provided for hereunder, and observes all of the other provisions hereof, Tenant shall at all times during the Term peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Demised Premises, without any interruption or disturbance from Landlord, subject to the terms hereof.

25. NOTICES

25.1 MAILING PROCESS: Any notice, demand or communication desired or required to-be made with respect to this Lease shall not be effective unless and until given in writing and sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the other party at their respective address set forth in Article 1, or to any other address or any other party as thereafter designated by notice.

25.2 NOTICE TO LENDER: If Landlord shall notify tenant that the Demised Premises or the Shopping Center are encumbered by a trust deed and in such notice set forth the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no notice intended for Landlord shall be deemed properly given unless a copy thereof is simultaneously sent to such beneficiary by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If any beneficiary shall perform any obligation that Landlord is required to perform hereunder, such performance by beneficiary, insofar as Tenant is concerned, shall be deemed performance on behalf of Landlord and shall be accepted by Tenant as if performed by Landlord.

(f) Construct double-deck or subterranean or elevated parking facilities.

It is specifically acknowledged by Tenant that the designations set forth on the Exhibit “A” as to building locations, other tenant names, traffic patterns, parking facilities, access routes, and abutting public thoroughfares are for convenience only and shall in no way constitute a warranty or representation that any of such matters shall remain so, it being specifically agreed that Tenant shall in no way rely on any such matters.

30. MISCELLANEOUS

30.1 NO WAIVERS: One or more waivers of a breach of any covenant, term or condition of this Lease by either party shall not be construed by the other party as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same covenant, term or condition. The consent or approval of either party to or of any act by the other party of a nature requiring consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary consent to or approval of any subsequent similar act. Acceptance of Rent by Landlord subsequent to any breach hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of any preceding breach other than the failure to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of any breach at the time of such acceptance of Rent. Landlord shall not be deemed to have waived any term, covenant or condition unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of such waiver.

30.2 NO RELATIONSHIP OTHER THAN LANDLORD AND TENANT: Nothing herein contained shall create between the parties hereto, or be relied upon by others as creating any relationship of partnership, association, joint venture or otherwise. The sole relationship of the parties hereto shall be that of Landlord and Tenant.

30.5 DEFINITIONS: The word “Landlord” and “Tenant” shall be deemed to mean each and every party mentioned as such herein.

Furthermore, Tenant and Landlord agree that the execution of any written consent hereunder, or of any written modifications or termination of this Lease, by any general partner of Tenant, Landlord or any other authorized agent of Tenant or Landlord shall be binding upon Tenant and Landlord.

All compensation, for such use of the premises, or any portion thereof, whether-interior or exterior, with Landlord’s consent shall be paid one-half (1/2) to Tenant and one-half (1/2) to Landlord. Should Tenant receive the entire compensation therefore Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord in an amount equal to one-half (1/2) thereof. Tenant shall notify Landlord within three (3) days of any such use.

Tenant shall not engage in any activity in, on or about the Premises which constitutes a Reportable Use (as hereinafter defined) of Hazardous Substances without the express prior written consent of Landlord and compliance in a timely manner (at Tenant’s sole cost and expense) with all applicable laws whether federal, state or local. “Reportable Use” shall mean (i) the installation or use of any above or below ground storage tank, (ii) the generation, possession, storage, use, transportation, or disposal of a Hazardous Substance that requires a permit from, or with respect to which a report, notice, registration or business plan is required to be filed with, any governmental authority. Reportable Use shall also include Tenant’s being responsible for the presence in, on or about the Premises of a Hazardous Substance with respect to which any Applicable Law requires that a notice be given to persons entering or occupying the Premises or neighboring properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may, without Landlord’s prior consent, but in compliance with all applicable law, use any ordinary and customary materials reasonably required to be used by Tenant in the normal cause of Tenant’s business permitted on the Premises, so long as such use is not a Reportable Use and does not expose the Premises or neighboring properties to any meaningful risk of contamination or damage or expose

Cuyamaca Bank/La Mesa Lease		Initial

28731-6/1822140.2 [Word]				01/30/03

Landlord to any liability therefore. In addition, Landlord may (but without any obligation to do so) condition its consent to the use or presence of any Hazardous Substance, activity or storage tank by Tenant upon Tenant’s giving Landlord such additional assurances as Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary to protect itself, the public, the Premises and the environment against damage, contamination or injury and/or liability there from or therefore, including, but not limited to, the installation (and removal on or before Lease expiration or earlier termination) of reasonably necessary protective modifications to the Premises (such as concrete encasements) and/or the deposit of an additional Security Deposit.

31.2 DUTY TO INFORM LANDLORD: If tenant knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, that a Hazardous Substance, or a condition involving or resulting from same, has come to be located in, on, under, or about the Premises, other than as previously consented to by Landlord, Tenant shall immediately give written notice to such fact to Landlord. Tenant shall also immediately give Landlord a copy of any statement, report, notice, registration, application, permit, business plan, license, claim, action or proceeding given to, or received from, any governmental authority or private party, or persons entering or occupying the Premises concerning the presence, spill, release, discharge of, or exposure to, any Hazardous Substance or contamination in, on, or about the Premises, concerning the presence, spill, release, discharge of, or exposure to, any Hazardous Substance or contamination in, on or about the Premises including but not limited to all such documents as may be involved in any Reportable Uses involving the Premises.

No termination, cancellation or release agreement entered into by Landlord and Tenant shall release Tenant from its obligations under this Lease with respect to Hazardous Substances or storage tanks, unless specifically so agreed by Landlord in writing at the time of such agreement.

OPTION TO EXTEND RIDER

Attached To and Made a Part of LEASE dated December 23, 2002 entered into The Xxxxxxxx Realty Group (“Landlord”) and Cuyamaca Bank, NA (“Tenant”).

A. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a total of two (2) options to extend the term of this Lease on the terms and conditions set forth herein below. In order to validly exercise an option herein granted to Tenant, Tenant must give written notice to Landlord of Tenant’s election to exercise the particular option at least ninety (90) days and not more than two hundred and seventy (270) days prior to the date on which the particular option period is scheduled to commence. If Tenant fails to give Landlord timely written notice of Tenant’s exercise of a particular option, then the option shall automatically expire and be of no further force or effect. In addition, Tenant shall have no right to exercise a particular option to extend the Lease term during any period when Tenant is in default under any provision of this Lease regardless of whether or not Landlord has given Tenant written notice of the existence of the default, and the period within which Tenant must exercise a particular option shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of such inability on the part of Tenant to exercise the particular option.

B. Each of Tenant’s options, if validly exercised, shall extend the Lease term for 5 years. During the first year of each option period, the Fixed Minimum Monthly Rent payable by Tenant shall equal the prevailing market rate for the premises at the commencement date of the option period. If the parties cannot agree on market rate within 45 days of the date of Tenant’s notice to Landlord exercising this option, then market rate shall be determined by two (2) appraisers who are members of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers, one to be appointed by each of the parties. If such appraisers cannot agree on market value, they shall promptly select a third appraiser, also a member of said Institute, and a determination of market value signed by any two (2) of the appraisers shall be final and binding on the parties. The cost of each appraiser’s fee shall be borne one-half by Landlord and one-half by Tenant. For purposes of determining the prevailing market rate of the demised premises, the appraisers shall presume that the premises are being used for their highest and best use and are in good condition, and the appraisers shall not take into account brokerage commissions or rental concessions that landlords of similar premises may be required to pay or grant at the time in question.

After the first year of each option period, the Fixed Minimum Monthly Rent payable by Tenant shall continue to increase each year by 3% over the Fixed Minimum Monthly Rent of the prior year.

Except as herein contained, all terms and conditions of the Lease dated December 23, 2002, shall remain in full force and effect during the option period.
