such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon before the enforcement

against liability for the same and holding the Premises free from the effect of

Dollars ($10,000,000) per occurrence with an "Additional Insured Manager or
Lessors of Premises" Endorsement and shall contain the "Amendment of the

insured persons or organizations, but shall include coverage for liability
assumed under this Lease as an "insured contract" for the performance of
Lessee's indemnity obligations under this Lease. The limits of said insurance
required by this Lease or as carried by Lessee shall not, however, limit the
liability of Lessee nor relieve Lessee of any obligation hereunder. All
insurance to be carried by Lessee shall be primary to and not contributory with
any similar insurance carried by Lessor, whose insurance shall be considered
excess insurance only.

8.2 Buildings and Improvements. Lessee, at its sole expense, shall obtain and
keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of

replacement cost of the Premises, as the same shall exist from time to time, or
the amount required by Lenders, if greater. Such policy or policies shall insure
against all risks of direct physical loss or damage, including flood and
earthquake coverage for any additional costs resulting from debris removal and
reasonable amounts of coverage for the enforcement of any ordinance or law
regulating the reconstruction or replacement of any undamaged sections of the
Premises required to be  demolished or removed by reason of the enforcement of

of loss. Such policy shall also cover (a) Lessee's fixtures, equipment and
tenant improvements, (b) fire, extended coverage, vandalism and malicious
mischief, (c) special extended coverage and (d) plate glass. Said policy or
policies shall also contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu of any
coinsurance clause, waiver of subrogation and inflation guard protection causing
an increase in the annual property insurance coverage amount by a factor of net
less than the adjusted U.S. Department of Labor Consumer Price Index for all
Urban Consumers for the city nearest to where the Premises are located. If such
insurance coverage has a deductible clause, the deductible amount shall not
exceed One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per occurrence, and Lessee shall be liable
for such deductible amount.

8.3 Rental Value. Lessee, at its sole expense, shall obtain and keep in force
during the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of Lessor, with
loss payable to Lessor and Lender(s), insuring the loss of the full rental and
other charges payable by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease for one year
(including all real estate taxes, insurance costs and any scheduled rental
increases). Said insurance shall provide that in the event the Lease is
terminated by reason of an insured loss, the period of indemnity for such
coverage shall be extended beyond the date of the completion of repairs or
replacement of the Premises, to provide for one full year's loss of rental
revenues from the date of any such loss. Said insurance shall contain an agreed
valuation provision in lieu of any coinsurance clause, and the amount of
coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the projected rental income,
property taxes, insurance premium costs and other expenses if any, otherwise
payable by Lessee, for the next twelve (12) month period. Lessee shall be liable
for any deductible amount in the event of such loss.

policy shall be cancellable or subject to other modification except after thirty
(30) days' prior written notice to Lessor. Lessee shall, at least thirty (30)
days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Lessor with the renewals
or "binders" thereof, or Lessor may order such insurance and charge the cost of
such to Lessee, which amount shall be payable by Lessee upon demand. Lessee
shall not do or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance
policies referred to in this Paragraph 8.

8.5 Waiver of Subrogation. Lessee and Lessor each release and relieve the other,
and waive their entire right of recovery against the other for loss or damage
arising out of or incident to the perils insured against under this Paragraph 8,
which perils occur in, on or about the Premises, whether due to the negligence
of Lessor or Lessee or their agents, employees, contractors and/or invitees.

hereunder, give notice to the insurance carrier or carriers that the foregoing
mutual waiver of subrogation is contained in this Lease.

any and all claims arising from Lessee's use of the Premises, or from the
conduct of Lessee's business or from any activity, work or thing done, permitted
or suffered by Lessee in or about the Premises or elsewhere, and shall further
indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all claims arising
from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Lessee's part
to be performed under the terms of this Lease, or arising from any negligence of

Lessor, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in,
upon or about the Premises arising from any cause and Lessee hereby waives all
claims in respect thereof against Lessor.

8.7 Exemption of Lessor from Liability. Lessee hereby agrees that Lessor shall
not be liable for injury to Lessee's business or any loss of income therefrom or
damage to the goods, wares, merchandise or other property of Lessee, Lessee's
employees, invitees, customers, or any other person in or about the Premises,
nor shall Lessor be liable for injury to the person of Lessee, Lessee's
employees, agents or contractors, whether such damage or injury is caused by or

appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other
cause, whether the said damage or injury results from conditions arising upon
the Premises or upon other portions of the building of which the Premises are a
part, or from other sources and places and regardless of whether the cause of

any part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the Premises, without Lessors
prior written consent, which Lessor shall not reasonably withhold. Lessor shall
respond to Lessee's request for consent hereunder in a timely manner and any

necessary.

12.3 No Release of Lessee. Regardless of Lessor s consent, no subletting or
assignment shall release Lessee of Lessee's obligation or alter the primary
liability of Lessee to pay the rent and to perform all the other obligations by
Lessee hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Lessor from any other person shall
not be deemed to be a waiver by Lessor of any provision hereof. Consent to one
assignment or subletting shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent
assignment or subletting. In the event of default by any assignee of Lessee or
successor of Lessee, in performance of any of the terms hereof Lessor may
proceed directly against Lessee without the necessity of exhausting remedies
against said assignee. Lessor may consent to subsequent assignments or
sub-letting of this Lease or amendments or modifications to this Lease with
assignees of Lessee, without notifying Lessee, or any successor of Lessee, and
without obtaining its or their consent thereto and such action shall not relieve
Lessee of liability under this Lease.

or request the consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting, or if Lessee
shall request the consent of Lessor for any act Lessee proposes to do, then
Lessee shall pay Lessor reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in
conjunction therewith.

(b) The failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or any other payment
required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due, where such failure
shall continue for a period of three (3) days after written notice thereof from
Lessor to Lessee. In the event that Lessor serves Lessee with a notice to pay
rent or quit pursuant to applicable unlawful detainer statutes such notice to
pay rent or quit shall also constitute the notice required by this Paragraph
13.1(b).

(c) The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions
or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee, other than
described in Paragraph 13. 1(b) above, where such failure shall continue for a
period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee;
provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's default is such that more than
thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Lessee shall not be
deemed to be in default if Lessee commenced such cure within said thirty (30)
day period and there- after diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.

(d) (i) The making by Lessee of any such general arrangement or assignment for
the benefit of creditors; (ii) Lessee becomes a "debtor" as defined in 11 U.S.C.
-101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition fled
against Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); (iii) the
appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of
Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease,
where possession is not restored to Lessee within thirty (30) days; or (iv) the
attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee's
assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such
seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days. Provided, however, in the
event that any provision of this Paragraph 13.l (d) is contrary to any
applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect.

13.2 Remedies. In the went of any such material default or breach by Lessee,
Lessor may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and without
limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor may have by
reason of such default or breach:

(a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any lad means, in
which case this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall immediately surrender
possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such went, Lessor shall be entitled to
recover from Lessee:  (i) the worth at the time of the award of the unpaid rent
which had been earned at the time of termination; (ii) the worth at the time of
award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after
termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that
Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided, (iii) the worth at the time of
award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after
the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Lessee proves
could be reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate
Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by Lessee's failure to perform
its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would
be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to, the cost of
recovering possession of the Premises, expenses of reletting, including
necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees
and costs, and that portion of any leasing commission paid by Lessor applicable
to the unexpired term of this Lease, and any leasing commission payable with
respect to any reletting. The worth at the time of award of the amount referred
to in provisions (i) and (i)of this Paragraph 13.2(a) shall be computed by
discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). Efforts by Lessor to
mitigate damages caused by Lessee's default or breach of this Lease shall not
waive Lessor's right to recover damages under this Paragraph 13.2. If
termination of this Lease is obtained through the provisional remedy of unlawful
detainer, Lessor shall have the right to recover in such proceeding the unpaid
rent and damages as are recoverable therein, or Lessor may reserve therein the
right to recover all or any part thereof in a separate suit for such rent and/or
damages. If a notice and grace period required under Paragraph 13.l(c) or (d)
was not previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit, or to perform or quit,
as the case may be, given to Lessee under any statute authorizing the forfeiture
of leases for unlawful detainer shall also constitute the applicable notice for
grace period purposes required by Paragraph 13.l(c) or (d). In such case, the
applicable grace period under Paragraph 13.l(c) or (d) and under the unlawful
detainer statute shall run concurrently after the one such statutory notice, and
the failure of Lessee to cure the default within the grater of the two such
grace periods shall constitute both an unlawful detainer and a breach of this
Lease entitling Lessor to the remedies provided for in this Lease and/or by said
statute.

(b) Maintain Lessee's right to possession under Civil Code Section 1951.4, in
which case this Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Lessee shall have
abandoned the Premises. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to enforce all of
Lessor's rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover
rent as it becomes due hereunder.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Lessor under the laws
or judicial decisions under the state wherein the Premises are located. Unpaid
installments of rent or other unpaid monetary obligations of Lessee under the
terms of this Lease shall bear interest from the date due at the maximum rate
allowable by law.

(d) The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the termination of
Lessee's right to possession shall not relieve Lessee of any obligation under
any indemnity accruing under this Lease during the term hereof or by reason of
Lessee's possession of the Premises.

13.3 Default by. Lessor shall not be in default unless Lessor fails to perform
obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time, but in no event later
than thirty (30) days, except in case of emergency requiring immediate
attention, after written notice by Lessee to Lessor and to the holder of any
mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name and address shall
have theretofore been finished to Lessor in writing, specifying wherein Lessor
has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of
Lessor obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for
performance, then Lessor shall not be in default if Lessor commences performance
within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same
to completion.

13.4 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to
Lessor of rent or 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 the
terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any
installment of rent or other sum due from Lessee shall not be received by Lessor
or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such sum shall be due, then,
without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late
charge equal to four percent (4%) 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 Lessee. Acceptance of such
late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee'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.

13.5 Impounds. In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or
not collected, for three (3) installments of rent or any other monetary
obligation of Lessee under the terms of this Lease, Lessee shall pay to Lessor,
if Lessor shall so request, in addition to any other payments required under
this Lease, a monthly advance payment, payable at the same time as the rent, as
established by Lessor, for real property tax and insurance expenses on the
Premises which are payable by Lessee under the terms of this Lease. Such fund
shall be established to insure payment when due, before delinquency, of any and
all such real property taxes and insurance premiums. If the amounts paid to
Lessor by Lessee under the provisions of this Paragraph 13.5 are insufficient to
discharge the obligations of Lessee to pay such real property taxes and
insurance premiums as the same become due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, upon
Lessors demand, such additional sums necessary to pay such obligations. All
moneys paid to Lessor under this Paragraph 13.5 may be intermingled with other
moneys of Lessor and shall not bear interest. Lessor shall not be liable for any
late payment charges or interest. In the event of a default in the obligations
of Lessee to perform under this Lease, then any balance remaining from funds
paid to Lessor under the provisions of this Paragraph 13.5 may, at the option of
Lessor, be applied to the payment of any monetary default of Lessee in lieu of
being applied to the payment of real property tax and insurance premiums.

14. Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the
power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of exercise of said power (all
of which are herein called "condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as to the
part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession,
whichever first occurs. If more than fifty percent (50%) of the floor area of
the building on the Premises is taken by condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessee's
option, to be exercised in writing only within ten (10) days after Lessor shall
give Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice
within ten (10) days after the condemning authority shall have taken possession)
terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes such
possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in accordance with the
foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of
the Premises remaining, except that-the rent shall be reduced in the proportion
that the floor area of the building taken bears to the total floor area of the
Premises. No reduction of rent shall occur if the only area taken is that which
does not have a building located thereon. Any award for the taking of all or any
part of the Premises under the power of eminent domain or any payment made under
threat of the exercise of such power shall be the property of Lessor, whether
such award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the
leasehold or for the taking of the fee, or as severance of damages; provided,
however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any award for loss or damage to
Lessee's trade fixtures and removable personal property. In the event that this
Lease is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall, to the
extent of severance damages received by Lessor in connection with such
condemnation, repair any damage to the Premises caused by such condemnation
except to the extent that Lessee has been reimbursed therefor by the condemning
authority. Lessee shall pay any amount in excess of such severance damages
required to complete such repair.

15. Estoppel Certificate.

15.1 Lessee shall, at any time upon not less than ten (10) days' prior written
notice from Lessor, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor a statement in
writing (a) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and
effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying
that this Lease, as so modified, is in fill force and effect) and the date to
which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and (b)
acknowledging that there are not, to Lessee's knowledge, any incurred defaults
on the part of Lessor hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed.
Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser
or encumbrancer of the Premises. Such statement shall also provide a copy of any
lease and amendment, the remaining term and the length and timing of any
unexercised options, the last day to which rent has been paid, the current
monthly rent, and any other matters reasonably requested by lesson and
customarily provided by lessees.

15.2 At Lessor's option, Lessee's failure to deliver such statement within such
time shall be a material breach of this Lease or shall be conclusive upon Lessee
that (a) this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as
may be reasonably represented by Lessor, (b) there are no uncured defaults in
Lessors performance, and (iii) not more than one month's rent has been paid in
advance or such failure may be considered by Lessor as a default by Lessee under
this Lease.

15.3 If Lessor decides to finance, refinance or sell the Premises, or any part
thereof Lessee hereby agrees to deliver to any lender or purchaser designated by
Lessor such financial statements of Lessee as may be reasonably required by such
lender or purchaser. Such statements shall include the past three (3) years'
financial statements of Lessee. All such financial statements shall be received
by Lessor and such lender or purchaser in confidence and shall be used only for
the purposes herein set forth.

16. Lessors Liability. The term "Lessor" as used herein shall mean only the
owner or owners at the time in question of the fee title or a lessee's interest
in a ground lease of the Premises. In the event of any transfer of such title or
interest, Lessor herein named (and, in case of any subsequent transfers, then
the grantor) shall be relieved from and after the date of such transfer of all
liability as respects Lessor's obligations thereafter to be performed, provided
that any funds in the hands of Lessor or the then grantor at the time of such
transfer, in which Lessee has an interest, shall be delivered to the grantee.
The obligations contained in this Lease to be performed by Lessor shall, subject
as aforesaid, be biding on Lessor's successors and assigns, only during their
respective periods of ownership. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Lease to the contrary, Lessor's liability under this Lease shall cease as to the
then fee owner of the Property from and after any sale by such fee owner of the
Property. In no case shall Lessor's liability under this Lease exceed its equity
interest in the Property and any insurance for Lessee's benefit.

17. Severability. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease as determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the validity of any
other provision hereof.

18. Interest on Past Due Obligations. Except as expressly herein provided, any
amount due to Lessor not paid when due shall bear interest at the maximum rate
then allowable by law from the date due, in addition to any late charges due.
Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Lessee under
this Lease, provided, however, that interest shall not be payable on late
charges incurred by Lessee nor on any amounts upon which late charges are paid
by Lessee.

19. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence.

20. Additional Rent. Any monetary obligations due from Lessee to Lessor under
the terms of this Lease shall be deemed to be rent.

21. Incorporation of Prior Agreements: Amendments. This Lease contains all
agreements of the parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein. No prior
agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective.
This Lease may be modified in writing only, signed by the parties in interest at
the time of the modification. Except as otherwise stated in this Lease, Lessee
hereby acknowledges that neither Lessor nor any employees or agents of Lessor
have made any oral or written warranties or representations to Lessee relative
to the condition or use by Lessee of said Premises and Lessee acknowledges that
Lessee assumes all responsibility regarding the Occupational Safety Health Act,
"Hazardous Substances" conditions, as such term is hereinafter defined, the
legal use and adaptability of the Premises and the compliance thereof with all
applicable laws and regulations in effect during the term of this Lease.

22. Notice. Any notice, request, demand, instruction or other communication
given hereunder by any party must be in writing and will be validly and timely
given or made to another party if (i) served personally, (ii) deposited in the
United States mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested, (iii) delivered by overnight courier, or (iv) sent by telecopier, to
each of the parties as set forth below:

If to Lessor, to:

Trust Dated January 17, 1983
6420 Wilshire Boulevard
Los Angeles, California 90048

the time of such personal service. If notice is served by mail, such notice will
be deemed to be given two days after the deposit of same in any United States

another acceptable means of giving notice under this Paragraph 22. Any person
entitled to receive notice under this agreement may change the address or
telecopier number to which such notice may be sent, by giving notice thereof
pursuant to this Paragraph 22.

23. Waivers. No waiver by Lessor of a breach by Lessee of any provision hereof
shall be deemed a waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent
breach by Lessee of the same or any other provision. Lessor's consent to, or
approval of any act, shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of
Lessors consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Lessee. The acceptance
of rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by
Lessee of any provision hereof; other than the failure of Lessee to pay the
particular rent so accepted, regardless of Lessors knowledge of such preceding
breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. Any payment given Lessor by
Lessee may be accepted by Lessor on account of money or damages due Lessor, not-
withstanding any qualifying statements or other conditions made by Lessee in
connection therewith, which statements and/or conditions shall be of no force or
effect whatsoever unless specifically agreed to in writing by Lessor at or
before the time of deposit of such payment.

24. Recording. Lessee shall not record any memorandum of this Lease.

25. Holding Over. If Lessee, with Lessor's consent remains in possession of the
Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the term hereof, such
occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month upon all the provisions of this
Lease pertaining to the obligations of Lessee, but all options and rights of
6rst refusal, if any, granted under the terms of this Lease shall be deemed
terminated and of no further effect during said month-to-month tenancy and Base
Rent shall be one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Base Rent last paid by
Lessee prior to the expiration of the term for the first three (3) months of
Lessee's holding over and one hundred fifty percent (150%) of such Base Rent
thereafter.

26. Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at
law or in equity.
27. Covenants and Conditions. Each provision of this Lease performable by Lessee
shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition.

28. Binding Effect: Choice of Law. Subject to any provisions hereof restricting
assignment or subletting by Lessee and subject to the provisions of Paragraph
16, this Lease shall bid the parties, their personal representatives, successors
and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State of
California.

29. Subordination: Attornment: Non-Disturbance.

29.1 Subordination. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any ground
lease, mortgage, deed of trust or other hypothecation or security device
(collectively, "Security Device") now or hereafter placed by Lessor upon the
property, to any and all advances made on the security thereof, and to all
renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.
Lessee agrees that the Lenders holding any such Security Device shall have no
duty, liability or obligation to perform any of the obligations of Lessor under
this Lease, but that in the event of Lessor's default with respect to any such
obligation Lessee will give any Lender, whose name and address have been
furnished Lessee in writing for such purpose, notice of Lessor default and allow
such Lender thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice for the cure of
said default before invoking any remedies Lessee may have by reason thereof. If
any Lender shall elect to have this Lease superior to the lien of its Security
Device and shall give written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease shall be
deemed prior to such Security Device, notwithstanding the relative dates of the
documentation or recordation thereof.

29.2 Attornment. Subject to the non-disturbance provisions of Paragraph
29.3,Lessee agrees to attorn to a Lender or any other party who acquires
ownership of the Premises by reason of a foreclosure of a Security Device, and
that in the event of such foreclosure, such new owner shall not: (a) be liable
for any act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to events occurring
prior to acquisition of ownership, (b) be subject to any offsets or defenses
which Lessee might have against any prior lessor, or (c) be bound by prepayment
of more than one month's rent.

29.3 Non-Disturbance. With respect to Security Devices entered into by Lessor
after the execution of this Lease, Lessee's subordination of this Lease shall be
subject to receiving assurance (a "non-disturbance agreement") from the Lender
that Lessee's possession and this Lease, including any options to extend the
term hereof, will not be disturbed so long as-Lessee is not in breach hereof and
attorns to the record owner of the Premises.

29.4 Self-Executing. The agreements contained in this Paragraph 29 shall be
effective without the execution of any further documents; provided, however,
that, upon written request from Lessor or a Lender in connection with a sale,
financing or re6nancing of the Premises, Lessee and Lessor shall execute such
further writings as may be reasonably required to separately document any such
subordination or non-subordination, attornment and/or non-disturbance agreement
as provided for herein.

30 Attorneys' Fees If Lessor retains the services of attorneys (a) for recovery
of possession of the Premises, (b) for recovery of any sum due under this Lease,
or (c) to defend any claim by Lessee against Lessor, whether or not suit be
filed, then all such costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees
and costs, incurred by Lessor shall be paid by Lessee. If any action or
proceeding (including any appeal thereof) is brought by Lessor or Lessee
(whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment) to enforce its respective
rights under this Lease or to enforce a judgment ("Action"), (i) the
unsuccessful party therein shall pay all costs incurred by the prevailing party
therein, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs to be fixed by the
court, and (ii) as a separate right, severable from any other rights set forth
in this Lease, the prevailing party therein shall be entitled to recover its
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in enforcing any judgment against
the unsuccessful party therein, which right to recover post-judgment attorneys'
fees and costs shall be included in any such judgment.

31. Lessors Access. Lessor and Lessors agents shall have the right to enter the
Premises at reasonable times for the purposes of inspecting the same, showing
the same to prospective purchasers, lenders or lessees, and making such
alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or the building
of which they are a part as Lessor may deem necessary or desirable. Lessor may
at any time during the last one hundred twenty (120) days of the term hereof
place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Lease" signs, all without
rebate of rent or liability to Lessee.

32. Auctions. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises without first having
obtained Lessor's prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Lease, Lessor shall not be obligated to exercise any
standard of reasonableness in determining whether to grant such consent.

33. Signs. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Premises without Lessors
prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.

34. Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee., or a
mutual cancellation thereof or a termination by Lessor, shall not work a merger,
and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate all or any existing subtenancies
or may, at the option of Lessor, operate as an assignment to Lessor of any or
all of such subtenancies.

35. Quiet Possession. Upon Lessee timely paying the rent for the Premises and
observing and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on
Lessee's part to be observed and performed hereunder, Lessee shall have quiet
possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof subject to all of the
provisions of this Lease. The individuals executing this Lease on behalf of
Lessor represent and warrant to Lessee that they are fully authorized and
legally capable of executing this Lease on behalf of Lessor and that such
execution is binding upon all parties holding an ownership interest in the
Premises.

36. Security Measures. Lessee hereby acknowledges that the rental payment to
Lessor hereunder does not include the cost of guard service or other security
measures, and that Lessor shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide same.
Lessee assumes all responsibility for the protection of Lessee, its agents and
invitees from acts of third parties.

37. Easements. Lessor reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to grant
such easements, rights and dedications that Lessor deems necessary or desirable,
and to cause the recordation of parcel maps and restrictions, so long as such
easements, rights, dedications, maps and restrictions do not unreasonably
interfere with the use of the Premises by Lessee. Lessee shall sign any of the
aforementioned documents upon request of Lessor and failure to do so shall
constitute a material breach of this Lease.

38. Performance Under Protest. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to any
amount or sum of money to be paid by one party to the other under the provisions
hereof the party against whom the obligation to pay the money is asserted shall
have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment shall not be
regarded as a voluntary payment, and there shall survive the right on the part
of said party to institute suit for recovery of such sum. If it shall be
adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part of said party to pay
such sum or any part thereof said party shall be entitled to recover such sum or
so much thereof as it was not legally required to pay under the provisions of
this Lease.

39. Authority. If Lessee is a corporation, trust or general or limited
partnership, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of such entity
represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to execute and deliver
this Lease on behalf of said entity. If Lessee is a corporation, trust or
partnership, Lessee shall, within (30) days after execution of this Lease,
deliver to Lessor evidence of such authority satisfactory to Lessor.

40. Royalties. Lessor shall receive any and all royalties from mineral or oil
rights.

41. Amendments. This Lease may be modified only in writing, signed by Lessor and
Lessee at the time of modification. So long as they do not materially change
Lessee's obligations hereunder, Lessee agrees to make such reasonable
non-monetary modifications to this Lease as may be reasonably requested by an
institution, insurance company, or pension plan lender in connection with the
obtaining of normal financing or refinancing of the Property.

42. Further Assurances. Each party agrees to execute, whenever and as often as
reasonably requested to do so, such other and further documents and instruments
as shall be necessary or desirable to further the intentions of the parties to
this Lease.

43. Hazardous Substances.

43.1. Reportable Uses Require Consent. The term "Hazardous Substance" as used in
this Lease shall mean any product, substance, chemical, material or waste whose
presence, nature, quantity and/or intensity of existence, use, manufacture,
disposal, transportation spill, release or effect, either by itself or in
combination with other materials expected to be on the Premises, is either: (a)
potentially injurious to the public health, safety or welfare, the environment
or the Premises, (b) regulated or monitored by any governmental authority, or
(c) a basis for liability of Lessor to any governmental agency or third party
under any applicable statute or common law theory. Hazardous Substance shall
include, but not be limited to, hydrocarbons, petroleum, gasoline, crude oil or
any products, by-products or fractions thereof. Lessee shall not engage in any
activity in, on or about the Premises which constitutes a Reportable Use (as
hereinafter defined) of Hazardous Substances with the express prior written
consent of Lessor, which consent may be given or denied in Lessor's sole and
absolute discretion, and compliance in a timely manner (at Lessee's sole cost
and expense) with all Applicable Law (as defined in Paragraph 6.2). "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 fled with, any
governmental authority. Reportable Use shall also include Lessee'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, Lessee may, without Lessors prior consent, but in
compliance with all Applicable Law, use any ordinary and customary materials
reasonably required to be used by Lessee in the normal course of Lessee's
business permitted on the Premises, so long as such use in not a Reportable Use
and does not expose the Premises or neighboring properties to any meaningful
risk of contamination or damage or expose Lessor to any liability therefor. In
addition, Lessor 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
Lessee upon Lessee's giving Lessor such additional assurances as Lessor, in its
reasonable discretion, deems necessary to protect itself, the public, the
Premises and the environment against damage, contamination or injury and/or
liability therefrom or therefor, 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).

43.2 Duty to Inform Lessor. If Lessee knows, or has reasonable cause to believe,
that a Hazardous Substance, or a condition involving or resulting from same, is
or has come to be located in, on, under or about the Premises, other than as
previously consented to be Lessor in writing, Lessee shall immediately give
written notice of such fact to Lessor. Lessee shall also immediately give Lessor
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,
including, but not limited to, all such documents as may be involved in any
Reportable Uses involving the premises.

43.3 Indemnification. Lessee shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold Lessor,
its agents, employees, lenders and ground lessor, if any, and the Premises,
harmless from and against any and all loss of rents and/or damages, liabilities,
judgments, costs, claims, liens, expenses, penalties, permits and attorneys' and
consultants' fees and costs arising out of or involving any Hazardous Substance
or storage tank brought onto the Premises by or for Lessee or under Lessee's
control, whether before or after the date of execution of this Lease. Lessee's
obligations under this Paragraph 43.3 shall include, but not be limited to, the
effects of any contamination or injury to person, property or the environment
created or suffered by Lessee, and the cost of investigation (including
attorneys' and consultants' fees and costs and testing), removal, remediation,
restoration and/or abatement thereof, or of any contamination therein involved,
and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. No
termination, cancellation or release agreement entered into by Lessor and Lessee
shall release Lessee from its obligations under this Lease with respect to
Hazardous Substances or storage tanks, unless specifically so agreed by Lessor
in writing at the time of such agreement, which agreement may be given in
Lessor's sole and absolute discretion

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Lease at Los Angeles,
California on the dates specified immediately adjacent to their respective
signatures.
