1





 


subject to all matters now or hereafter of record or enforceable at law or in equity. The Tenant acknowledges that the Premises are ready for occupancy as-is. Landlord shall not be
obligated to make any improvements or repairs thereto. Tenant has had an opportunity to, and to have its architects, engineers and other consultants, inspect the Premises and Tenant has found the
Premises fit for Tenant's use. Tenant accepts the Premises with all systems (roof, walls, foundation, heating, ventilating,

extends the Term, this Lease shall continue on the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease except that the Base Rent for each Lease Year during the Option Term shall escalate annually as
provided in Paragraph 4.2 below. 


        4.    Rent; Consumer Escalation; Net Lease.    



        4.1    Basic Monthly Rent.    Tenant covenants to pay to Landlord without abatement, deduction, offset, prior notice
or demand the Basic Monthly Rent in lawful money of the United States in equal consecutive monthly installments at such place as Landlord may designate, in advance on or before the first day of each
calendar month during the Term, commencing on the Commencement Date. If the Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, on the Commencement Date the Basic Monthly
Rent shall be paid for the initial fractional calendar month prorated on a per-diem basis and for the first full calendar month occurring after the Commencement Date. 


        4.2    Basic Monthly Rent Escalation.    The Basic Monthly Rent shall be increased on each anniversary of the
Commencement Date to the product obtained by multiplying the Basic Monthly Rent then in effect by 1.02. Landlord shall invoice Tenant retroactively for the increased portion of the Basic Monthly Rent
due for the period between each such anniversary and the date of such invoice. The delay or failure of Landlord to compute or to bill Tenant for the adjustments to be made pursuant to this
Paragraph 4.2 shall not impair the continuing obligation of Tenant to pay the increased portion of the Basic Monthly Rent resulting from such adjustments. In no event shall the Basic Monthly
Rent be decreased as a result of this Paragraph 4.2. 


        4.3    Net Rent.    It is the intent of Landlord and Tenant that the Basic Monthly Rent and all other rent and sums
payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease be absolutely net to Landlord and that Tenant shall, except as expressly hereinafter provided, pay (either directly or by payment to Landlord of Tenant's
share of any expenses or costs pursuant to any provision of this Lease) for all insurance, taxes,
utilities, repairs, operating expenses, maintenance and all other services and costs relating to the Premises and to Tenant's use thereof. 


        4.4    Place of Payment.    All payments made by Tenant under this Lease shall be made at Landlord's place of business
designated on the signature page of this Lease, or at such other places as Landlord may designate from time to time by written notice to Tenant.

sole option, bear late charges thereon calculated at the rate of one and 



2





 





one-half percent (11/2%) per month, but in no event greater than the highest rate permitted by applicable law. 


        4.6    Retention of payments by Landlord.    Any payment of Basic Monthly Rent or Additional Rent then accrued shall
be fully earned by Landlord when due under terms of this Lease. 


        4.7    Prepaid Rent.    Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, Tenant shall pay Landlord the sum of $145,000
representing the first three months rent due hereunder. On the first day of the fourth month of the term of this Lease, Tenant shall commence making monthly rental payments in the amount set forth in
Paragraph 1.4 above. 




        5.    Property Taxes.    Tenant shall pay all real property taxes applicable to the Premises during the Term. All such
payments shall be made at least ten (10) days prior to the delinquency date of such payment. Upon payment thereof, Tenant shall promptly furnish Landlord with satisfactory evidence that such
taxes have been paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 5, if the holder of any mortgage then affecting Landlord's interest in the Premises requires that Landlord make
monthly or other periodic payments to an escrow or reserve for use in paying real property taxes as they fall due, Tenant shall, upon being so advised by Landlord and at the time of its making the
monthly payments of Basic Monthly Rent required under Paragraph 4, remit to Landlord the monthly or other periodic payments required to be paid by Landlord to such holder, and Landlord shall in
turn remit such amount to such holder. As used herein, the term "real property taxes" shall include any form of general or special assessment, license fee, commercial rental or gross receipts tax,
levy, penalty, duty, charge or tax (other than inheritance or estates taxes) imposed by an authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city, county, state or federal
government, or any school, agricultural, lighting, drainage, sewer or other improvement district against any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Premises or in the real property of which
the Premises are a part, against Landlord's right to rent or other income therefrom, against the use, occupancy or possession of the Premises by Landlord or Tenant or against Landlord's business of
leasing the Premises or any tax imposed in substitution, partially or totally, of any tax previously included within the definition of real property taxes, or any additional tax the nature of which
was previously included within the definition of real property taxes. All expenses, including attorney's fees and disbursements, experts' and other witnesses' fees, incurred in contesting the validity
or amount of any taxes or in obtaining a refund of
taxes will be considered as part of the taxes for the tax year in which such expenses are incurred. If the Premises are not separately assessed, Tenant's liability shall be an equitable proportion of
the real property taxes for all of the land and improvements included within the tax parcel assessed, such proportion to be determined by Landlord from the respective valuations assigned in the
assessor's work sheets or such other information as may be reasonably available. Landlord's reasonable determination thereof, in good faith, shall be conclusive. Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency
all taxes assessed against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property of Tenant contained in the Premises or elsewhere. When possible, Tenant shall cause
said trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Landlord. 


        6.    Use and Operation.    



        6.1    Use; Suitability.    Tenant shall not use or occupy or permit the Premises to be used or occupied for any
purpose other than for the Permitted Use, and shall not do or permit anything to be done by its employees, agents, licensees or invitees (collectively, "Occupants") which may (a) increase the
existing rate or violate the provisions of any insurance carried with respect to the Premises; (b) create a public or private nuisance, commit waste or interfere with, annoy or disturb any
other tenant or occupant of the Building or Landlord in its operation of the Building; (c) overload the floors or otherwise damage the structure of the Building; (c) constitute an
improper, immoral or objectionable purpose; (e) subject Landlord to any liability to any third 



3





 


party; or (f) lower the first-class character of the Building. Tenant shall, at its sole cost, (t) operate its business on the Premises; (u) use the Premises in a careful, safe
and proper manner; (v) comply with all present and future governmental or quasi-governmental laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements and any covenants, conditions and restrictions
existing with respect to the Premises and the use thereof; (w) comply with the requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body relating to the Premises; (x) keep the
Premises free of objectionable noises and odors; (y) not store, use or dispose of any hazardous, toxic or radioactive materials on the Premises except those necessary to the operation of its
business and in full compliance with all applicable present and future governmental or quasi-governmental laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements regarding the same; and (z) not place
any signs on the Premises, except as provided in Paragraph 18 of this Lease, unless Landlord consents thereto in advance in writing. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the
admission of Tenant in any action against Tenant, whether or not Landlord is a party thereto, that Tenant has violated any governmental or quasi-governmental law, ordinance, regulation or requirement
or any covenant, condition or restriction existing with respect to the Premises or with respect to any hazardous, toxic or radioactive substance on the Premises shall be conclusive of that fact as
between Landlord and Tenant. (The foregoing sentence shall not create or confer upon Tenant or any other person any rights with respect to Landlord.) Except as expressly set forth in this Lease, no
representation or warranty has been made to or relied upon by Tenant concerning the Premises, including, without limitation, the fitness or suitability of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant's
business, nor has Landlord agreed to undertake any modification, alteration or improvement of the Premises. 


        6.2    Covenant of Continuous Operation.    Tenant shall carry on its business diligently and continuously at the
Premises throughout the Term and shall keep the Premises open for Business on all business days in accordance with the schedule of minimum hours specified from time to time by Landlord. 




        7.    Utilities and Services.    Tenant shall pay all costs, expenses, charges and amounts, or whatever kind or
character, for all water, gars, heat light, power, air conditioning, telephone, sewer service, protective service, trash disposal and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises, together
with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not billed to Tenant, but rather are billed to and paid by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of such services. If any utility service to
the Premises is interrupted for any reason whatsoever, Landlord shall not be liable therefore to Tenant, such interruption shall not be deemed to be an eviction or interference with Tenant's use and
occupancy of the Premises, the rents required to be paid hereunder shall not be abated as a result thereof, and Tenant hereby expressly waives any claims Tenant might otherwise have against Landlord
as a result of any such interruption. 


        8.    Maintenance and Repairs; Alterations; Access.    



        8.1    Maintenance and Repairs.    Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain the Premises and every part

(excluding Tenant's vaults, safes and similar areas designated in writing by Tenant in advance). During the six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Term or other termination of this
Lease, Landlord may place upon the Premises "To Let," "For Sale" or other similar signs. 




        9.    Assignment.    



        9.1    Prohibition.    Tenant shall not, either voluntarily or by operation of law, assign, transfer, mortgage,
encumber, pledge or hypothecate this Lease or Tenant's interest in this Lease, in whole or in part, permit the use of the Premises by any persons other than Tenant or its Occupants, or sublease the
Premises or any part of the Premises, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld in Landlord's sole discretion for any reason or for no reason. Any transfer of this Lease
from Tenant by merger, consolidation, liquidation or transfer of assets shall constitute an assignment for the purposes of this Lease. If Tenant is a corporation, an unincorporated association or a
partnership, the assignment, transfer, encumbrance or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such corporation, association or partnership in the aggregate in excess of forty-nine
percent (49%) shall be deemed an assignment within the meaning of this Paragraph 9.1 unless such transfer is to the immediate family of such majority equity holder. Consent to any assignment or
subleasing shall not operate as a waiver of the necessity for consent to any subsequent assignment or subleasing and the terms of such consent shall be binding upon any person holding by, under or

5





 


subleases to McDonalds and EFT [hand written notation changing EFT to ETT, initialed by Phyllis Schwartz], Inc. Tenant hereby pledges its interest in said leases to
Landlord to secure Tenant's obligations to Landlord hereunder. 



        9.2    Termination.    If Tenant requests Landlord's consent to an assignment of this Lease or to a subleasing of the
whole or any part of the Premises (other than the approved subleases referred to in Paragraph 9.1 above), Tenant shall submit to Landlord the terms of such assignment or subleasing, the name
and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant, such information relating to the nature of its business and finances as Landlord may be reasonably require, and the proposed effective date (the
"Effective Date") of the proposed assignment or subleasing, which Effective Date shall be neither less than thirty (30) nor more than ninety (90) days following the date of Tenant's
submission of such information. Upon receipt of such request and all such information from Tenant, Landlord shall have the right, exercisable by notice within fifteen (15) days after such
receipt, to terminate this Lease if the request is to assign this Lease or to sublease all of the Premises or, if the request is to sublease a portion of the Premises only, to terminate this Lease
with respect to such portion, in each case as of the Effective Date, unless within five (5) business days after notice from Landlord to Tenant of such termination, Tenant withdraws such
request. Such right to terminate shall be for any reason whatsoever in the sole discretion of Landlord, including but not limited to the right to retain all profits of such assignment or sublease. If
Landlord shall exercise such termination right, Tenant shall surrender possession of the entire Premises or the portion which is the subject of the right, as the case may be, on the Effective Date in
accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 17. If this Lease is terminated as to a portion of the Premises only, the rent payable by Tenant under this Lease shall be abated proportionately

occupied by any person other than Tenant without obtaining Landlord's consent, Landlord may collect rent and other charges from such assignee or other party, and apply the amount collected to the rent
and other charges reserved under this Lease, but such collection shall not constitute consent or waiver of the necessity of consent to such assignment or subleasing, nor shall such collection
constitute the recognition of such assignee or subtenant as Tenant under this Lease or a release of Tenant from the further performance of all of the covenants and obligations of Tenant contained in
this Lease. No consent by Landlord to any assignment or subleasing by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any obligation to be paid or performed by tenant under this Lease, whether occurring before or
after such consent, assignment or subleasing, but rather Tenant and it assignee or subtenant, as the case may be, shall b jointly and severally primarily liable for such payment and performance.
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its attorneys' and other fees and costs incurred in connection with both determining whether to give its consent and giving its consent. O assignment or subleasing
under this Lease shall be effective unless and until Tenant provides to Landlord an executed counterpart of the assignment or sublease agreement, which shall specifically state that (a) such
agreement is subject to all of the provisions of this Lease; (b) in the case of an assignment, the assignee assumes and agrees to perform all of Tenant's obligations under the Lease;
(c) the assignee or subtenant, as the case may be, does not have the right to a further assignment of such agreement, or to allow the Premises to be used by others, without the prior written
consent of Landlord in each instance; (d) a consent by Landlord thereto shall not be deemed or construed to modify, amend or affect the provisions of this Lease or Tenant's obligations under
this Lease, which shall continue to apply to the Premises and the occupants of the Premises as if the assignment or sublease had not been made; (e) if Tenant defaults in the payment of any
amounts due under this Lease, Landlord is authorized to collect any rents or other amounts due from any assignee, subtenant or other occupant of the Premises and to apply the net amounts collected to
the sums reserved in this Lease; and (f) the receipt by 



6





 





Landlord of any amounts from an assignee, subtenant or other occupant of any part of the Premises shall not be deemed or construed as releasing Tenant from Tenant's obligations under this Lease or
the acceptance of that party as a direct tenant. 




        10.    Indemnity; Waiver and Release.    



        10.1    Indemnity.    Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from, against and with respect to all
demands, claims, causes of action, judgments, losses, damages (including consequential damages), liabilities, obligations, fines, penalties, costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys'

operations, including, without limitation, claims brought by the Environmental Protection Agency due to a violation of any law. If any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord, its employees
or its agents by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord, shall defend the claim at Tenant's expense with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

respect to all matters for which Landlord has disclaimed liability pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. In addition, Landlord, its employees and agents shall not be liable for any loss, injury,

order, requisition, order of governmental body or authority, fire, explosion, falling object, steam, water, rain, snow, breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires,
appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, construction, repair or alteration of the Premises or other cause beyond Landlord's control. Tenant acknowledges that it constructed all
improvements comprising the Premises and that it is now leasing the property pursuant to a sale/leaseback transaction with Landlord. Consequently, Tenant waives all claims against Landlord relating to
the current or future condition of the improvements or the Premises and acknowledges that any it is responsible for any deficiency of the improvements or the Premises. Tenant shall timely pursue all
meritorious claims against contractors, subcontractors, materialmen and/or architects contributing to any substandard condition relating to the improvements or the Premises and shall advise Landlord
of any such claim.

time situated in, on or upon the Premises; and (c) worker's compensation insurance satisfying Tenant's obligations under the worker's compensation laws of the State of Nevada. Such minimum

insured, shall nevertheless be entitled to recover under such policies for any loss sustained by it, its agents and its employees as a result of the acts or omissions of Tenant. Tenant shall furnish
Landlord certificates of coverage. No such policy shall be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage or other modification except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord
by the insurer. All such policies shall be written as primary policies, not contributing with and not in excess of any coverage Landlord may carry, and shall only be subject to such deductibles as may
be approved in writing in advance by Landlord. Tenant shall, at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewals or binders therefore. Landlord and
Tenant hereby mutually waive their respective rights of subrogation against each other for any loss insured by insurance policies existing for the benefit of the respective parties. Landlord and
Tenant shall cause their respective insurance carriers to issue appropriate waivers of subrogation rights endorsements to all policies of insurance carried in connection with the Premises or the
contents of the Premises. Tenant shall cause all other occupants of the Premises claiming by, through or under Tenant to execute and deliver to Landlord a waiver of claims similar to the waiver of
subrogation rights endorsements. Any mortgage lender interested in any part of the Premises may, at Landlord's option, be afforded coverage under any policy required to be secured by Tenant under this
Lease, by use of a mortgagee's endorsement to the policy concerned. 


        12.    Damage or Destruction.    



        12.1    General Provisions.    If the Premises are partially damaged or destroyed by any casualty insured against
under any insurance policy maintained by Tenant or Landlord, they shall, upon receipt of any insurance proceeds, use such proceeds to effect repair of the Premises to substantially the condition in
which the Premises were immediately prior to such destruction. Landlord's obligation under the preceding sentence shall not exceed the lesser of the cost of the standard improvements installed by

(b) the Premises are damaged as a result of a risk not covered by insurance; (c) the Premises are damaged in whole or in part during the last twelve (12) months of the Term;
(d) the Premises or the Building (whether or not the Premises are damaged) is damaged to the extent of ten percent (10%) or more of the then-replacement value of either or to the

this Lease. Tenant expressly waives any claim Tenant might have against Landlord for any loss suffered by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair or restoration, and Tenant shall have no right
to terminate this Lease as the result of any statutory provision in effect on or after the date of this Lease pertaining to the damage and destruction of the Premises or the Building. 



        12.2    Damage to Tenant's Trade Fixtures and other Personal Property.    The proceeds of all insurance carried by
Tenant on Tenant's furnishings, trade fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment, merchandise and other personal property shall be held in trust by Tenant for the purpose of the repair and
replacement
of the same, and shall not be subject to any claim by Landlord for repair or replacement of any part of the Premises. Landlord shall not be required to repair any damage or to make any restoration or
replacement of any furnishings, trade fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment, merchandise and other personal property installed in the Premises by Tenant or at the direct or indirect expense of

proceedings in which any interest in the Premises is taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful authority through exercise of the poser of eminent domain or by purchase or otherwise in
lieu of such exercise. If the whole of the Premises is taken through Condemnation Proceedings, this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of such taking. The phrase "as of the date of the
taking" means the date of taking actual physical possession by the condemning authority or such earlier date as the condemning authority gives notice that it is deemed to have taken possession.
Landlord may terminate this Lease if more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises is taken or any portion of the Premises is taken that, in Landlord's judgment, substantially
interferes with Landlord's ability to operate or use the Premises for the purposes for which it was intended. Any such termination must be accomplished through written notice to Tenant given no later
than sixty (60) days after, and shall be effective as of, the date of such taking. In all other cases, or if Landlord does not exercise its right to terminate, this Lease shall remain in
effect. If a portion of the Premises is taken and this Lease is not terminated, the Basic Monthly Rent shall be reduced in the proportion that the floor area of buildings taken bears to the total
floor area of the Premises immediately prior to the taking. Whether or not this Lease is terminated as a consequence of Condemnation Proceedings, all damages or compensation awarded for a partial or
total taking, including any award for severance damage and any sums compensating for diminution in the value of or deprivation of the leasehold estate under this Lease, shall be the sloe and exclusive
property of Landlord. Tenant shall be entitled to any award for the loss of or damage to Tenant's trade fixtures or loss of business, provided that a separate award is actually made therefore to
Tenant and that the same will not reduce Landlord's award. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the occurrence of any Condemnation Proceedings, or for the termination of this Lease or a
reduction in the Premises as a result of any Condemnation Proceedings. 


        14.    Landlord's Financing.    This lease shall be subordinate to any existing or future first mortgage, first deed
of trust and all renewals, modifications, amendments, consolidations, replacements and extensions of any such instruments. No documentation other than this Lease shall be required to evidence such
subordination. If any holder of a mortgage or deed of trust and shall give written notice of such election to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage or deed of trust. Tenant shall
execute such documents as may be required by Landlord to confirm such subordination or priority within ten (10) days after request therefore. Tenant shall from time to time if so requested by
Landlord and if doing so will not materially and adversely affect Tenant's economic interests under this Lease, join with Landlord in amending this Lease so as to meet the needs or requirements of any
lender that is considering making or that has made a loan secured by the Premises or any portion thereof. Any sale, assignment or transfer of Landlord's interest under this Lease or in the Premises,
including any such disposition resulting from Landlord's default under a debt obligation, shall be subject to this Lease and Tenant shall attorn to Landlord's successors and assigns and shall
recognize such successors
or assigns as Landlord under this Lease, regardless of any rule of law to the contrary or absence of privity of contract.

        15.    Default.  



        15.1    Default by Tenant.    The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute a
default by Tenant under this Lease: 



        15.1.1  Tenant
fails to pay timely any installment of Basic Monthly Rent or any other payment due under this Lease. 


        15.1.2  Tenant
fails to observe or perform timely any other term, covenant or condition to be observed or performed by Tenant under this Lease. 



        15.1.3  Tenant
fails to provide fuel services for a period of five (5) consecutive days, unless Tenant is prevented from doing so by Force Majeure. For
purposes of this provision, Force Majeure shall mean any act or event that occurs as a consequence of fire, theft, water, wind, flood, hurricane, and that could not have been avoided by reasonable
diligence, prevention or control. 


        15.1.4  Tenant
becomes insolvent or ceases to transact business as a going concern. 


        15.1.5  Tenant
sells or otherwise transfers its business and the purchaser does not expressly assume all of Tenant's obligations hereunder. 



        15.1.6  Tenant
or any guarantor of this Lease dies (if an individual), files a petition in bankruptcy, becomes insolvent, has taken against such party in any
court, pursuant to state or federal statute, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or appointment of a receiver or trustee, petitions for or enters into an arrangement for the
benefit of creditors or suffers this Lease to become subject to a writ of execution. 


        15.1.7  Tenant
vacates or abandons the Premises. 



        15.1.7.1  Any
guarantor, surety or endorser of this Lease for Tenant attempts to rescind or to terminate its guaranty, or defaults in or breaches any obligation
or liability to Landlord. 





        15.2    Remedies.    In the event Tenant fails to timely and fully carry out any of the provisions or obligations
under this Lease or is in default under any of the provisions of Paragraph 15.1 above, Landlord shall have the right to, at any time and at Landlord's option, without waiving or limiting any
other right or remedy available to it, (a) perform in Tenant's stead any obligation that Tenant has failed to perform, and Landlord shall be reimbursed promptly for any cost incurred by
Landlord in connection therewith with interest thereon from the date of such expenditure until paid in full at the greater of the prime rate then charged by Bank of America (or any other bank or
savings and loan association designated by Landlord), plus four percent (4%), or eighteen percent (18%) per annum (the "Interest Rate"); (b) terminate Tenant's rights under this Lease by
written notice; (c) reenter and take possession of the Premises by any lawful means (with or without terminating this Lease); or (d) pursue any other remedy allowed by law. Tenant shall
pay to Landlord the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, all costs of reletting, including reasonable renovation, remodeling and alteration of the Premises, the amount of any commissions
paid by Landlord in connection with such reletting, and all other costs and damages arising out of Tenant's default, including attorneys' fees and costs. Notwithstanding any termination or reentry,
the liability of Tenant for the rents and other sums reserved in this Lease shall not be extinguished for the balance of the Term, and Tenant agrees to compensate Landlord upon demand for any
deficiency arising from reletting the Premises at a lesser rent than applies under this Lease. 


        15.3    Past Due Amounts; Tenant's Obligations Independent.    If Tenant fails to pay when due any amounts required to
be paid by Tenant under this Lease, such unpaid amounts shall bear interest at the Interest Rate from the due date of such amounts to the date of payment in full, 



10





 





with interest. In addition, Landlord may also charge a sum of five percent (5%) of such unpaid amounts as a late charge. The actual cost in each instance is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to
determine. The payment (and acceptance) of this late payment charge shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any default by Tenant under this Lease. All amounts due under this Lease are and shall
be deemed to be rent or additional, rent, and shall be paid by the terms of this Lease). The obligations of Tenant to pay Basic Monthly Rent and all other amounts due and to perform all of its
obligations under this Lease are severable from and independent of any obligations of Landlord under this Lease. 



        15.4    Default by Landlord.    Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord or the holder of any
mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name and address have been furnished to Tenant in writing fails to perform an obligation required of Landlord under this Lease within thirty
(30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to such holder, specifying the respects in which Landlord has failed to perform such obligation. If the nature of Landlord's obligation
is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for performance or cure, Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord or such commencement diligently prosecutes the same to
completion. In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease or to withhold the payment of rent or other charges provided for in this Lease as a result of Landlord's default. 




        16.    Expiration or Termination.    



        16.1    Surrender of Premises.    Upon the expiration of the Term or other termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at
its own cost, (a) promptly and peaceably surrender the Premises to Landlord "broom clean," in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted; (b) repair any damage to the
Premises caused by or in connection with the removal of any property from the Premises by or at the direction of Tenant; (c) repair, patch and pain in a good and workmanlike manner satisfactory
to Landlord all holes and other marks in the floors, walls and ceilings of the Premises to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction; and (d) deliver all keys to the Premises to Landlord. Before
surrendering the Premises, Tenant shall, at its sole cost, remove its movable personal property only, and all other property shall, unless otherwise directed by Landlord, remain in the Premises and
become the property of Landlord without payment therefore; however, Tenant shall not remove any personal property, trade fixtures or other property fro the Premises without Landlord's prior written
consent if such personal property, trade fixtures or other property is used in the operation of the Premises, the removal of such property, trade fixtures or other property will impair the structure
of the Building, or Tenant is in default under this Lease. If Tenant is in default under this Lease, Landlord shall have a lien on such personal property, trade fixtures and other property. Landlord
may require Tenant to remove any personal property, trade fixtures, other property, alterations, additions and improvements made to the Premises by Tenant or by Landlord for Tenant, and to restore the
Premises to their condition on the date of this Lease. All personal property, trade fixtures and other property of Tenant not removed from the Premises upon the abandonment of the Premises or upon the
expiration of the Term or other termination of this Lease for any cause shall conclusively be deemed to have been abandoned and may be appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed or otherwise disposed of by
Landlord without notice to Tenant or any other person and without any obligation to account therefore. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all expenses incurred in connection with the disposition of such
property in excess of any amount received by Landlord from any such disposition. No surrender of the Premises shall be effected by Landlord's acceptance of the keys or of this rent or by any other
means whatsoever without Landlord's written acknowledgement of such acceptance as a surrender. Tenant shall not be released from Tenant's obligations under this Lease in connection with surrender of
the Premises until Landlord has inspected the Premises and delivered to Tenant a written release. 



11





 

        16.2    Holding Over.    Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from and against all claims,
liabilities and expenses, including attorneys' fees, resulting from delay by Tenant in surrendering the Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. If Tenant remains in possession of the
Premises or any part of the Premises after the expiration of the Term or other termination of this Lease with the express written consent of landlord, such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to
month at a rental (and not as a penalty) in the amount of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the last monthly rental, plus all other charges payable under this Lease, and upon all of the terms of
this Lease applicable to a month to month tenancy. The provisions of this Paragraph 16 shall survive the expiration of the Term or other termination of this Lease. 




        17.    Estoppel Certificate.    Tenant shall, within five (5) days after Landlord's request therefore, execute
and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate in favor of Landlord and such other persons as Landlord
shall request setting forth the following: (a) a ratification of this Lease; (b) the Commencement Date and Expiration Date; (c) that this Lease is in full force and effect and has
not been assigned, modified, supplemented or amended (except by such writing as shall be stated); (d) that all conditions under this Lease to be performed by Landlord have been satisfied, or,
in the alternative, those claimed by Tenant to be unsatisfied; (e) that there are no defenses or offsets against the enforcement of this Lease by Landlord, or, in the alternative, those claimed
by Tenant; (f) the amount of advance rent, if any (or none if such is the case), paid by Tenant; (g) the date to which rent has been paid; and (h) such other information as
Landlord may request. Landlord's mortgage lenders and purchasers shall be entitled to rely upon any estoppel certificate executed by Tenant. If Tenant fails to execute such estoppel certificate within
such five (5) day period, Landlord may execute the same on behalf of Tenant as Tenant's duly authorized attorney-in-fact. For such purpose, Tenant hereby makes,
constitutes and appoints Landlord as Tenant's true and lawful attorney to act for Tenant and in Tenant's name, place and stead and for Tenant's use and benefit. Such power of attorney shall be
irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest. 


        18.    Signage.    Tenant may purchase and erect such signage on the Building and on the lot as may be necessary to
advertise its business, in conformity with all applicable governmental and quasi-governmental laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements, and after obtaining any required permits, licenses,
variances and approvals. All signs or letterings on doors shall be printed, painted and affixed at the sole cost of Tenant by a person approved by Landlord, and shall comply with the requirements of
the governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Premises. At its sole expense, Tenant shall maintain all permitted signs and shall, upon the expiration of the Term or other termination of
this Lease, remove all such permitted signs and repair any damage caused by such removal. 


        19.    Additional Authorizations and Consents.    Tenant and Landlord shall execute and file or join in the execution
and filing of any applications or other documents which may be necessary in order to obtain the authorization, approval or consent of any governmental body, local, state or federal or any other third
party, which may be required, or which Tenant may reasonably request, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party shall use its best efforts to obtain all
such authorizations, approvals and consents. 


        20.    Purchase Option.    At any time during the term of this lease following the end of the 5th Lease
Year and continuing for a period of two months following the end of the term of this Lease (as the same may be extended from time to time), Tenant shall have an option to purchase the Premises for a
sum equal to $6,090,000, increased by one percent (1%) per year compounded from the end of the 5th Lease Year until the date of exercise of the option. 



        21.    General Provisions.    



        21.1    No Partnership.    Landlord does not by this Lease, in any way or for any purpose, become a partner or joint
venturer of Tenant in the conduct of Tenant's business or otherwise. 



12





 

        21.2    Force Majeure.    If either Landlord or Tenant is delayed or hindered in or prevented from the performance of
any act required under this Lease by reason of acts of God, strikes, lockouts, other labor troubles, inability to procure labor or materials, fire, accident, failure of power, restrictive governmental
laws, ordinances, regulations or requirements of general applicability, riots, civil commotion, insurrection, war or other reason not the fault of the party delayed and beyond the control of such
party (financial inability excepted), performance of the action in question shall be excused for the period of delay and the period for the performance of such act shall be extended for a period
equivalent to the period of such delay. The provisions of this Paragraph shall not, however, operate to excuse Tenant from the prompt payment of rent or any other amounts required to be paid under
this Lease. 


        21.3    Notices.    Any notice, demand, request or other instrument which may be or is required to be given under this
Lease shall be delivered in person or sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, shall be addressed as set forth below or as otherwise designated in writing by Landlord or
Tenant to the other, and shall be effective upon delivery to the then effective notice address for the party concerned.

        21.4    Severablilty.    If any provision of this Lease or the application of any provision of this Lease to any
person or circumstance shall to any extent be invalid, the remainder of this Lease or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid
shall not be affected thereby. Each provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 


        21.5    Notification of Changes.    Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord in writing of the existence or happening of
any fact, event or occurrence that may tend to alter, in any material respect, the accuracy or completeness of any representation or warranty contained in this Lease, or affect the ability of Tenant

including attorneys' fees, arising from any such brokerage commissions or finder's fees. 



13





 




        21.7    Use of Pronouns.    The use of the neuter singular pronoun to refer to Landlord or Tenant shall be deemed a
proper reference even though Landlord or Tenant may be an individual, partnership, association, corporation or a group of two or more individuals, partnerships, associations or corporation. The
necessity grammatical changes required to make the provisions of this Lease apply in the plural sense where there is more that one Landlord or Tenant and to corporations, associations, partnerships,
individuals, males or females, shall in all instances be assumed as though in each case fully expressed. 


        21.8    Successors.    Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, all provisions contained in this Lease shall be
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, devisees, successors, assigns and legal representatives. In the event of any sale or assignment (except
for purposes of security or collateral) by Landlord of the Premises or this Lease, Landlord shall, from and after the Commencement Date (irrespective of when such sale or assignment occurs), be
relieved entirely of all its obligations under this Lease and such obligations shall, as of the time of such sale or assignment or on the Commencement Date, whichever is later, automatically pass to
the Landlord's successor in interest. 


        21.9    Recourse by Tenant.    Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall look solely to the
equity of Landlord in the Premises, subject to prior rights of the holder of any mortgage or deed
of trust, for the collection of any judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of money by Landlord in the event of any default or breach by Landlord with respect to any of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Landlord, and no other assets of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other procedures for the satisfaction of Tenant's
remedies. 


        21.10    Quiet Enjoyment.    Upon Tenant paying the rents reserved under this Lease and observing and performing all
of the terms, covenants and conditions on Tenant's part to be observed and performed under this Lease, Tenant shall have quiet enjoyment of the Premises for the Term without interference from
Landlord, subject to all of the provisions of this Lease. 



        21.11    Waiver.    No failure by any party to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, duty or condition
of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach of this Lease shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such or any other covenant, duty or condition. Any part may,
by notice delivered in the manner provided in this Lease, but shall be under no obligation to, waive any of its rights or any conditions to its obligations under this Lease, or any covenant or duty of
any other party hereto. No waiver shall affect or alter the remainder of this Lese but each other covenant, duty and condition of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any
other then existing or subsequently occurring breach. 



        21.12    Rights and Remedies.    The rights and remedies of the parties hereto shall not be mutually exclusive and the
exercise of one or more of the provisions of this Lease shall not preclude the exercise of any other provisions. The parties confirm that damages at law may be an inadequate remedy for a breach or
threatened breach by any party of any of the provisions of this Lease. The parties' respective rights and obligations under this Lease shall be enforceable by specific performance, injunction or any
other equitable remedy. 


        21.13    Authorization.    Each individual executing this Lease does thereby represent and warrant to each other so
signing (and each other entity for which another person may be signing) that he has been duly authorized to deliver this Lease in the capacity and for the entity set forth where he signs. 


        21.14    Litigation Expenses.    If any action, suit or proceeding is brought by a party hereto to recover any rent or
other amount due under this Lease because of any default under this Lease, to enforce or interpret any of the provisions of this Lease, or for recovery of possession of the 



14





 





Premises, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the other all of its reasonable costs and expenses incurred therein (including those incurred in
connection with any appeal), including attorney's fees, the amounts of which shall be fixed by the court and made a part of any judgment rendered. Tenant shall be responsible for all expenses incurred
by Landlord, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, that Landlord incurs in any case or proceeding involving Tenant under or related to any bankruptcy or insolvency law. 


        21.15    Miscellaneous.    The captions to the Paragraphs of this Lease are for convenience of reference only and
shall not be deemed relevant in resolving questions of construction or interpretation under this Lease. Exhibits referred to in this Lease and any addendums, riders and schedules attached to this
Lease shall be deemed to be incorporated I this Lease as though a part of this Lease. Tenant shall not record this Lease or a memorandum or notice of this Lease without the prior written consent of
Landlord. This Lease and the exhibits, riders and addenda, if any, attached hereto, constitute the entire agreement between the parties. Any guaranty attached hereto is an integral part of this Lease
and constitutes consideration given to Landlord to enter into this Lease. No amendment to this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant unless reduced to writing and signed. Unless otherwise
expressly set forth in this Lease, all references to Paragraphs are to Paragraphs in this Lease. Each provision to be performed by Tenant shall be constructed to be both a covenant and a condition.
This Lease shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada. Venue on any action arising out of this Lease shall be proper only in the Eighth
Judicial District Court in and for Clark County, State of Nevada. Landlord and Tenant waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of them against the other on all
matters arising out of this Lease or the use and occupancy of the Premises. Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and every provision hereof. The submission of this Lease to Tenant is not an
offer to lese the Premises or an agreement by Landlord to reserve the Premises for Tenant. Landlord shall not be bound to Tenant until Tenant has duly executed and delivered duplicate original copies
of this Lease to Landlord, and Landlord has duly executed and delivered one of those duplicate original copies to Tenant. 




        IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Lease as of the date first set forth above.

Landlord the full, prompt, and complete payment and performance by Tenant of all of the terms, obligations, covenants, and conditions of said Lease to be paid, kept, or performed by Tenant, including
