     4.01
Minimum Monthly Rent.



          A) Beginning on the Initial Rent Due Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord during the Lease Term
a “Base Rent” of***      The Base Rent is sometimes referred to herein as the “Minimum
Monthly Rent” and shall be subject to adjustment every***      after the Initial Rent Due Date as set forth in Section
4.01 B below.




          B) The Minimum Monthly Rent shall apply from the Rent Commencement Date through the end
of the ***      Lease Year of the Term. The Minimum Monthly Rent shall be increased (but
never decreased) on the first day of the ***      Lease Year and on the first day of each :***      Lease Year
thereafter during the Term by a percentage equal to the percentage of increase from the “base period” (as hereinafter defined in
this Section) of the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price
Index for All Urban Consumers, Las Vegas Subgroup “All Items”, (1982-84=100) (the “Consumer Price
Index”); provided, however, in no event shall the Minimum Monthly Rent be increased by an amount
that is less than ***      greater than the Minimum Monthly Rent payable before the adjustment date in question.




     In the event that the Consumer Price Index is not available, the successor or substitute
index shall be used for the computations herein set forth. In the event that the Consumer Price
Index or such successor or substitute index is not published, a reliable governmental or other
non-partisan publication evaluating the information theretofore used in determining the Consumer
Price Index shall be used by Landlord for the computations herein set forth. For the purposes of
the computations herein set forth, the basis for any substitute or successor index or such
governmental or non-partisan publication shall be converted to a basis of 100 only in the event
that the basis used in such index or publication is less than 100.



     4.02
Percentage Rent. In addition to the payment of Base Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
for each Lease Year during the Term of this Lease, as Percentage Rent a sum equal to the amount by
which ***      of the Gross Sales for such Lease Year exceeds the Base Rent which is payable for such
Lease Year equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the annual fixed rate for such Lease year by
the percentage rate.



          Gross Sales shall mean all box office receipts, sales of goods, merchandise, beverages,
food, vending machines and video games. Gross sales shall exclude credits and refunds made with
respect to admissions or other sales; all federal, state, county and city admission taxes, sales
taxes and other similar taxes now or hereafter imposed (whether such taxes are collected from
customers separately from the selling price of admission tickets or absorbed therein, and




4









 




actually paid over to the taxing authority by Tenant; commissions paid to agencies or other third
parties for selling tickets; returned, exchanged, waived or “Pass Admissions” including EBF
charges on “Pass Admissions” and any sums paid to third parties for the use or rental of vending
machines, pay telephones or other amusement machines.




          Tenant agrees to furnish Landlord a statement certified by its chief financial or similar
office of its Gross Sales within ninety (90) days after the close of each Lease Year and
calculation of Percentage Rent, if any, due for such Lease Year. Tenant shall concurrently with
the delivery of such statement, pay to Landlord any Percentage Rent due for such Lease Year.




          The receipt by Landlord of any statement or any payment of Percentage Rent for any period
shall not bind it as to the correctness of the statement or the
Payment. Landlord shall within three
years after the receipt of any such statement be entitled to an audit of such Gross Sales. Such
audit shall be limited to the determination of the Gross Sales as defined in this Lease and shall
be conducted during normal business hours at the principal place of
business of Tenant. If it is
determined as a result of such audit that there has been a deficiency in the payment of Percentage
Rent, then such deficiency shall become immediately due any payable with interest at the annual
rate of 18% from the date when said payment should have been made until paid. Any information
gained from such statements or inspection shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed other
than to carry out the purposes hereof. If such audit shall disclose that Tenant has understated the
Gross Sales for such Lease Year by more than three (3%) and Landlord is entitled to any additional
Annual Percentage Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all of Landlord’s reasonable cost of such
audit.




     4.03 Rent Payments. Rent and other sums to be paid by Tenant shall be payable in lawful money
of the United States of America. All payments shall be made by Tenant to Landlord without notice
or demand.



     4.04
Place for Payment of Rent. The Annual Rent and any other charges required to be paid by
Tenant to Landlord shall be sent to Landlord at its principal place of business, or such other
address as Landlord may direct in writing.



     4.05
Late Payment of Rent. In the event that any monthly installment of rent is not paid within
ten (10) days after first written notice from Landlord that such payment is past due, Tenant shall
pay Landlord interest on such unpaid rent at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum computed
from the date such rent installment was due until the date actually paid.



ARTICLE V




TAXES,
ASSESSMENTS AND UTILITIES




     5.01 Impositions.



          A) The term “Impositions” shall mean all real estate taxes, duties or assessments (special or
otherwise), water and sewer rents, whether ordinary or extraordinary, general or special, foreseen
or unforeseen, of any kind and nature whatsoever, which, at any time during the Lease Term, shall
be assessed or levied, or be attributable in any manner to the Premises, or the rents receivable
therefrom, or any part thereof or any use thereon or any facility located therein or used in
connection therewith, whether or not any of the foregoing shall be a so-called “real estate tax”
expressly excluding, however, any such items arising directly or indirectly out of any act or
omission of Landlord, any of Landlord’s predecessors in title or any other person occurring prior
to the commencement of the Term. From and after the Initial Rent Due Date, Tenant shall pay all
Impositions assessed, levied or attributable to the Premises and/or the Improvements on the
Premises. All Impositions or installments thereof payable with respect to the tax year in which
this Lease shall commence, and all Impositions or installments thereof with respect to the
tax year in which this Lease shall terminate, shall be pro-rated on a dairy basis; provided,
however, that assessments or escape assessments assessed as a result of this Lease and/or the
construction of Tenant Improvements by Tenant shall not be prorated and shall be paid solely by
Tenant; and provided further that assessments attributable to Tenant Improvements made in the
final year of the Lease shall be paid solely by Tenant if Tenant demolishes the Tenant Building.




5









 





          B) With respect to Impositions which by law may be paid in installments over a
period of time, Landlord shall be deemed to have elected (the “Installment Election”) to pay such Impositions over
the longest period of time permitted by law, regardless of whether Landlord has in fact so
elected. With respect to each year in which the Installment Election is effective and with respect
to the Impositions associated with Tenant’s premises subject to the Installment Election, Tenant’s
share of such Imposition(s) for each year shall be the pro rata share of the amount which would be
required to be paid to the collecting authority as if Landlord had in fact made the Installment
Election.




          C) In the event the Premises are separately assessed by the taxing authority, Tenant shall
pay all such real property taxes directly to the taxing authority prior to delinquency. In the
event Tenant fails to pay such real property taxes as provided herein, Landlord may, but shall
not be required to, pay the same, and any amount so paid by Landlord shall immediately thereafter
become due to Landlord from Tenant as Additional Rent with interest thereon at the rate of 18%
per annum from the date of Landlord’s payment plus any fine, penalty, interest or cost which is
levied by the taxing authority for such late payment.




          D) In the event the Premises are not separately assessed by the taxing authority, Tenant
shall pay all such real property taxes to the Landlord prior to delinquency. In the event Tenant
fails to pay to Landlord such real property taxes as provided herein, Tenant shall pay Landlord in
addition interest thereon at the rate of 18% per annum from the delinquency date until such
payment has been made.




     5.02 Proration of Taxes. If the Premises comprise a tax lot or lots with other property owned
by Landlord or other parties (“Other Premises”) assessed for real estate tax purposes, together
with said Other Premises, immediately after the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall
attempt to cause the appropriate taxing authorities to assess the Premises for real estate tax
purposes separately from all Other Premises. During any period in which the Premises are assessed
for real estate purposes, together with any Other Premises, Landlord will pay, before the last day
on which payment may be made without penalty or interest, all Impositions which shall be levied
against the Other Premises.



     5.03
Exceptions from Impositions: Charges in Lieu of Impositions.



          A)
Nothing herein contained shall require Tenant to pay any estate, inheritance, succession,
capital levy, corporate franchise, gross receipts, transfer, or income tax of Landlord, nor shall
any of the same be deemed to be included within the term
“Impositions” as defined herein.




          B) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V, if at any time after the date of
this Lease the present method of taxation or assessment shall be changed so that in lieu of, as a
substitute for (whether in whole or in part) or as a supplement to (provided such supplemental
tax relates to real estate or revenues from real estate and not to other property or business as
well) the taxes now levied, assessed or imposed on real estate and buildings and Improvements
thereon, a tax shall be imposed, assessed or levied wholly or partly on the Rent, or a tax,
assessment, levy or charge, measured or based, in whole or in part, on the Premises or on the
rents derived therefrom, shall be imposed on Landlord, then Tenant shall pay taxes so measured or
based only to the extent that such taxes would be payable if the Premises were the only property
of Landlord subject to such taxes, or the income from operation of the Premises were Landlord’s
only income, as the case may be.




     5.04 Contest of Taxes. Tenant at its sole cost and expense may by appropriate legal
proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, contest the amount or validity or
application, in whole or in part, of any Imposition or lien therefor, or any other lien,
encumbrance or charge against the Premises arising from work done or materials provided to or for
Tenant. Tenant shall give Landlord reasonable notice of, and information pertaining to, such
contest and regular progress reports with respect thereto.

     Landlord shall cooperate with any effort pursued by Tenant in accordance with this Section 5.05.
Tenant shall indemnify, protect and hold harmless Landlord and the Premises from any lien or
liability with respect to any such Imposition or



6









 




contest
thereof, including all costs and expenses related thereto. Landlord shall provide Tenant
with copies of notice when received by Landlord from the taxing authorities of any assessments or
reassessments of the Premises in sufficient time (but in no event later than thirty (30) days
after Landlord’s receipt of the same) to enable Tenant to contest the same in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 5.05.




     5.05 Utilities. Tenant shall pay before delinquency, directly to the appropriate
company or governmental agency, all charges for all utilities, including, but not limited to,
water, gas, electricity, sewer, power, telephone, other communication services and refuse disposal
consumed on the Premises.



     5.06
Personal Property Taxes. During the term of this Lease, Tenant shall pay before
delinquency any and all personal property taxes levied or assessed against any personal property
located upon the Premises. If Tenant fails to timely pay such taxes and a lien is filed against
the Premises, Landlord may discharge such lien, if Tenant fails to discharge such lien within ten
(10) days following Tenant’s receipt of notice from Landlord, including without limitation
reasonable attorneys’ fees, together with interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum
from the date of expenditure, such additional rent being due and payable within ten (10) days of
notice thereof.



ARTICLE VI




INSURANCE




     6.01 Acquisition of Insurance Policies. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure
and maintain, or cause to be procured and maintained, during the entire Term the insurance
described in this Section (or its then available equivalent), and shall name Landlord and any
other parties requested by Landlord as an additional insured.



     6.02 Types of Required Insurance. Tenant shall procure and maintain the following:



          A) Commercial General Liability Insurance. Commercial general liability insurance insuring

Physical Property Damage Insurance. During the term hereof, Tenant shall keep Tenant’s
Building (excluding foundations and footings), all improvements on the Premises and personal
property insured in the name of Landlord and Tenant against damage or destruction by fire and the
perils commonly covered under the extended coverage endorsement (with vandalism and malicious
mischief coverage) excluding earthquake and flood to the extent of not less than the full
replacement value thereof less any deductible applicable to all of Tenant’s theatres insured
under a blanket policy. Tenant shall be responsible for determining the amount of fire and
extended coverage insurance to be maintained subject to Landlord’s consent, which consent is not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The proceeds of such insurance in case of loss or damage
shall be held in trust and applied on account of the obligation of Tenant to repair and/or
rebuild the Leased Premises pursuant to the Article captioned “Damage Clause” to the extent that
such proceeds are required for such purpose. The insurance required to be carried by Tenant under
this paragraph may be covered under a so-called “blanket” policy covering other operations of

Tenant’s Building as set forth in this Lease.




     6.03 Terms of Insurance. The policies required under Section 6.02 shall name Landlord as
additional insured. Tenant shall provide to Landlord certificates of insurance and copies of
policies obtained by Tenant hereunder promptly upon the request of Landlord. Further, all policies

          A)
Be written as primary policies not contributing with and not in excess of coverage that
Landlord may carry.




          B) Contain an endorsement providing that the amount of coverage will not be reduced with
respect to Landlord except after twenty (20) days prior written notice from insurance company to
Landlord and such coverage may not be canceled with respect to Landlord except after thirty (30)
days’ prior written notice from insurance company to Landlord.




          C) Expressly provide that Landlord shall not be required to give notice of accidents or
claims and that Landlord shall have no liability for premiums.




          D)
Be written by insurance companies having a Bests rating of “A-” or better, and such
insurance companies shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord.




     6.04 Landlord’s Acquisition of Insurance. If Tenant at any time during the Term fails to
procure or maintain insurance required hereunder or to pay the premiums therefor, Landlord shall
have the right to procure the same and to pay any and all premiums thereon, and any amounts paid
by Landlord in connection with the acquisition of insurance shall be immediately due and payable
as additional rent, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand the full amount so paid and
expended by Landlord. Any policies of insurance obtained by Landlord covering physical damage to
the Premises shall contain a waiver of subrogation against Tenant if and to the extent such waiver
is obtainable and if Tenant pays to Landlord on demand the additional costs, if any, incurred in
obtaining such waiver.



     6.05
Insurance Money and Other Funds Held in Trust. All insurance money or condemnation
proceeds as provided in Article VIII, received by the Tenant shall be turned over to Landlord and
held in trust by Landlord and, except as provided otherwise in Section 6.06, shall be applied as
follows:



               First,
to any Leasehold Mortgagee as required under the terms of its Leasehold Mortgage
provided that such Mortgage was of record and secured a loan made or committed to Landlord in
compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Lease prior to the occurrence of such
loss; second, for the purpose of defraying the cost of repairing, restoring, replacing
and/or rebuilding any structure or improvement on or in the Premises as required as provided in
Section 6.06 hereof, and third, if the damaged or destroyed structure or improvement is
not repaired, restored, replaced or rebuilt as hereinafter provided, said funds shall be disposed
of as provided in Section 6.06. Any of said funds in the hands of the Tenant or Landlord at the
end of the Term hereof shall be disposed of as set forth in Section 6.06 (A).



     6.06 Application or Proceeds of Physical Damage Insurance. In case of any insurance policies
as described in Section 6.02 (C) (Physical Property Damage Insurance) the application of insurance
proceeds from damage or loss to property shall be determined in part
in accordance with Article
XVII hereof and, in the event of any such repair, replacement, restoration or rebuilding, the
Landlord shall disburse the proceeds of the insurance collected to Tenant to pay the cost of such
work upon certificate of satisfactory progress and/or completion in form satisfactory to Landlord
by the licensed architect or engineer in charge of the work. Upon completion of such repair,
replacement, restoration or rebuilding in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, and
 the full payment therefor (so no liens, encumbrances or claims with respect thereto can be asserted against the
Premises, this Lease, Landlord or Tenant), any insurance proceeds received by the Landlord or
Tenant with respect to the damage of destruction involved, and not
used, shall remain the property of Landlord.



8









 





          A) Distribution of Unutilized Proceeds. At the termination of this Lease, such
insurance proceeds or condemnation awards received and held by the Landlord and not used for repair,
replacement or reconstruction (“Available Proceeds”), shall be disposed as follows:




               (1) First, Landlord shall be awarded an amount sufficient to remove any improvements
not repaired and to return the Property to the level of adjacent streets (“grade level”); and



               (2) Second, any remainder shall be paid to Landlord.



     6.07 Cooperation for Insurance Proceeds. Landlord and Tenant shall each cooperate with the
other in order to obtain the largest possible recovery and execute any and all consents and other
instruments and take all other actions reasonably necessary or desirable to effectuate the same
and cause such proceeds to be paid as hereinbefore provided. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Lease, neither party shall carry any insurance concurrent in
coverage and contributing in the event of loss with any insurance required to be furnished by the
other hereunder if the effect of separate insurance would be to reduce the protection or the
payment to be made under such party’s insurance or under the insurance required to be furnished by
the other.



     6.08 Waiver of Right of Recovery. Landlord and Tenant hereby release each other from any and
all liability and responsibility to one another and, to the extent legally possible to do so on
behalf of their respective insurers and anyone claiming through or under either of them, by way of
subrogation or otherwise, hereby waive any liability for any and all loss or damage which is of
the type covered by fire and extended coverage insurance described in this Article, irrespective
of any negligence on the part of the other party which may have contributed to or caused such
loss. Every insurance policy carried by either party with respect to the Premises or Tenant’s
Building or land or improvements adjoining the Premises owned or leased by Landlord shall (if it
can be so written and does not result in a material additional premium) include provisions denying
to the insurer subrogation rights against the other party and any fee or leasehold mortgage to the
extent such rights have been waived by the insured prior to the occurrence of damage or loss. If
the waiver of subrogation otherwise is not effective, each party covenants that it will obtain for
the benefit of the other party an express waiver of any right of subrogation which the insurer of
such party may acquire against the other party by virtue of the payment of any such loss covered
by such insurance. In the event either party is by law, statute, governmental regulation,
economically unfeasible or other factor beyond such party’s reasonable control unable to obtain a
waiver of the right of subrogation for the benefit of the other party, then, during any period of
time when such waiver is unobtainable, said party shall be deemed not to have released any
subrogated claim of its insurance carrier against the other party, and during the same period of
time the other party shall be deemed not to have released the party who has been unable to obtain
such waiver from any claims they or their insurance carriers may assert which otherwise would have
been released pursuant to this Section. In the event that either party is unable to obtain such
waiver of the right of subrogation for the benefit of the other party, such party shall, within
thirty (30) days of receiving notice of such inability, give the other party written notice of
such inability.

not for any other third parties.

CONDEMNATION — EMINENT DOMAIN




     14.01 Definitions. The following definitions apply in construing provisions of this Lease
relating to a taking of or damage to all or any part of the Entire Premises or Improvements or
Parking or any interest in them by eminent domain or inverse condemnation:



          A) “Taking” means that taking or damaging, including severance damage, by eminent domain or
by inverse condemnation for any public or quasi-public use under any statute. The transfer of
title may be either a transfer resulting from the recording of a final order in condemnation or a
voluntary transfer or conveyance to the condemning agency or entity under threat of condemnation,
in avoidance of an exercise of eminent domain, or while condemnation proceedings are pending. The
Taking shall be considered to take place as of the date on which the right to compensation and
damages accrues under the law applicable to the Premises, unless the condemnor also takes actual physical
possession of the Premises or a part thereof, in which case the date of Taking for the purposes of
this Lease shall be the later of the date on which the right to compensation and damages accrues
or the date physical possession is taken by the condemnor.




16









 





          B) “Total Taking” means the Taking of the fee title to all the Premises and the
Improvements on the Premises, which shall be considered to include any offsite improvements
effected by Tenant to serve the Premises or the improvements or the parking on the Premises.




          C) “Partial Taking” means any Taking (including any damaging) of a portion of the
Premises, the Common Area, or any Improvements or parking thereon which is not a Total
Taking.




          D) “Notice of Intended Taking” means any notice or notification on which a reasonably
prudent man would rely and which he would interpret as expressing an existing intention of
Taking as distinguished from a mere preliminary inquiry or proposal. It includes, but is not
limited to, the service of a condemnation summons and complaint on a party to this Lease. The
notice is considered to have been received when a party to this Lease receives from the
condemning agency or entity a Notice of Intended Taking, in writing, containing a description
or map of the Taking reasonably defining the extent of the Taking.




          E) “Award” means compensation paid for the Taking, whether pursuant to judgment or by
agreement or otherwise.

condemnation; or




          D) Notice of intent or willingness to make or negotiate a private purchase, sale or
transfer in lieu of condemnation.




     14.03 Total Taking — Effect on Rent and Term. On a Total Taking, Tenant’s obligation to
pay Rent shall terminate on, and Tenant’s interest in the leasehold shall continue until, the
date of Taking, at which time this Lease shall terminate.



     14.04 Distribution of Award for Taking. On a Taking, all sums, including, but not limited
to, damages and interest awarded for the value of the real estate taken, shall be apportioned
and paid by the governmental body taking the Premises as follows:



          A) To Landlord, the amount awarded, if any, for the Fair Market Value of all buildings
and other improvements on the Premises;




          B) To Landlord, the amount awarded, if any, for severance damages




          C) To Landlord, the amount awarded, if any, for the “bonus value” of this leasehold
estate without improvements. The bonus value is the amount by which the fair market rental value on
the open market exceeds the contract rent (the amount called for in this Lease);




          D) To Tenant, the amount awarded, if any, for loss of goodwill and relocation expenses;




          E) To Tenant, any other award which will not reduce the amount which otherwise would be
awarded to Landlord, and




          F) To Landlord, any balance




17









 




Tenant shall only be entitled to payments under this Section 14.04 out of amounts awarded by the
governmental body taking the Premises.




     14.05 Partial Taking — Rent Adjustments. On a Partial Taking, the Lease shall remain in full
force and effect covering the remaining Premises, except that the total Rent as otherwise provided
herein shall be reduced in the same ratio as the percentage of the area of the Premises taken
bears to the total area of the Premises.



     14.06 Partial Taking — Option to Terminate. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
in the event of a Partial Taking, if more than thirty percent (30%) of the Building or fifty
(50%) of the parking is taken by a condemnation or sold under the threat of condemnation, then
Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes title or
possession, whichever occurs first, by delivering written notice to the other within ten (10)
days after receipt of written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within ten
(10) days after the condemning authority takes possession).



     14.07 Separate Tenant’s Award. In the event of a Taking, Tenant may make a separate claim
with respect to lost business, lost profits, moving expenses and other related damages against
the acquiring governmental Agency.



ARTICLE XV




DEFAULT




     15.01 Tenant’s Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default or
event of default by Tenant.



          A) Failure to pay Annual Rent or any other monetary amount when due as provided herein, if
the failure continues for ten (10) days after first written notice has been given to Tenant by
Landlord;




          B) Failure to perform any of Tenant’s non-monetary obligations under this Lease, provided
however, Tenant shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of written notice by Landlord to cure
each such default. If Tenant cannot reasonably cure such default within said thirty (30) day
period, Tenant shall not be in default of this Lease if Tenant commences to cure the breach
within the thirty (30) day period and diligently and in good faith continues to cure the breach.




          C) Tenant shall file a petition in voluntary bankruptcy under the bankruptcy code of the
United States or any similar Law, State or Federal Law, now or hereafter in effect.




     15.02 Landlord’s Remedies Cumulative. Landlord shall have the following remedies set forth
in subsections (A) through (G) below if Tenant commits a default, except as provided in Section
15.03. These remedies are not exclusive and may be exercised concurrently or successively, they
are cumulative in addition to any remedies now or later allowed by law or equity:



          A) Bring Suit for Performance. Landlord may bring suit for the collection of the rent of other
amounts for which Tenant is then in default, or for the performance of any other covenant or
agreement devolving upon Tenant, all without having to enter into possession or terminate this
Lease;




          B) Re-Entry Without Termination. Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1954.4, Landlord
may re-enter the Premises, by legal proceedings (or without legal proceedings if the Premises have been abandoned), and take possession thereof, without thereby
terminating this Lease, and thereupon Landlord may expel all persons and remove all property
therefrom, without becoming liable to prosecution therefor, and relet the Premises or a portion
or portions thereof, and receive the rent therefrom, applying the same first to the payment of the reasonable
expenses of such




18









 




re-entry and the reasonable cost of such reletting, and then to the payment of the Rent and other
amounts for which Tenant is then in default; the balance, if any, to be paid to Tenant, who,
whether or not the Premises are relet, shall remain liable for any deficiency. It is agreed that
the commencement and prosecution of any action by Landlord in forcible entry and detainer,
ejectment, or otherwise, or the appointment of a receiver, or any execution of any decree obtained
in any action to recover possession of the Premises, or any re-entry, shall not be construed as an
election to terminate this Lease unless Landlord shall, in writing, expressly exercise its election
to declare the Lease Term hereunder ended and to terminate this Lease, and unless this Lease be
expressly terminated, such re-entry or entry by Landlord, whether had or taken under summary
proceedings or otherwise, shall not be deemed to have absolved or discharged Tenant from any of its
obligations and liabilities for the remainder of the Lease Term. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary or other provisions of this Section 15.02(B), Tenant shall have the right to sublet the
Premises, assign its interest in the Lease, or both, subject to Landlord’s prior right, during any
continuance of Tenant’s default, to relet the Premises or a portion or portions thereof.




          C) Termination of Lease and Lessee’s Right to Possession. No act by Landlord, other than
giving Tenant written notice of termination of this Lease, shall in feet terminate the Lease. Upon
termination of the Lease, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any future rights or obligations
under the Lease except that Landlord shall have the right to recover from Tenant the following:




               (1) The worth, at the time of the award, of the unpaid Rent that had been earned at the time
of termination of this Lease;



               (2) The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid Rent that would
have been earned after the date of termination of this Lease until the time of award exceeds the
amount of the loss of Rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;



               (3) 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 the loss of Rent that Tenant
proves could have been reasonably avoided; and



               (4) Any other amount, and court costs, necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment
proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform his obligations under the Lease or which, in the
ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom.



               (5) For any other sums due.



          D) Definitions. As used herein, the following phrases shall be interpreted as
follows:




               (1) “The worth, at the time of the award,” as used in subsections 15.02(C)(1) and (2) above,
is to be computed by allowing interest at the maximum lawful rate. “The worth, at the time of the
award,” as referred to in subsection 15.02(C)(3) above, is to be computed by discounting the
amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award,
plus one percent (1%).



               (2)  As used herein, the term “time of award” shall mean either the date upon which Tenant
pays to Landlord the amount recoverable by Landlord as hereinabove set forth or the date of entry
of any determination, order, or judgment of any court or other legally constituted body
determining the amount recoverable, whichever first occurs.



          E) Surrender. Promptly after notice of termination, Tenant shall surrender and vacate the
Premises and all improvements in broom-clean condition, and Landlord may re-enter and take
possession of the Premises and all remaining improvements and eject all parties in possession or
eject some and not others, or eject none. Termination under subsection 15.02© shall not relieve
Tenant from the payment of any sum due to a Landlord or from any claim for damages previously
accrued or then accruing against Tenant.




19









 





          F) Appointment of Receiver. If Tenant defaults under Section 15.02 Landlord shall have the
right to have a receiver appointed to collect rent from any subtenants. Neither the filing of a
petition for the appointment of a receiver nor the appointment itself shall constitute an election
by Landlord to terminate this Lease.




          G) Landlord’s Right to Cure Tenant’s Default. Landlord, at any time after Tenant is in default
under Section 15.01 herein, may cure the default at Tenant’s expense. If Landlord, at any time, by
reason of Tenant’s default, pays any sum or does any act that requires the payment of any sum, the
sum paid by Landlord shall be immediately reimbursed from Tenant to Landlord, together with
interest at eighteen percent (18%) per annum computed from the date of such expenditure until the
date of reimbursement by Tenant.




     15.03 Landlord’s Default.



          A) The occurrence of the following shall constitute a default by Landlord: Breach of any
provision of this Lease if the breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice by
Tenant; provided, however, that if the breach cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30)
day period, Landlord shall not be in default of this Lease if Landlord commences to cure the
breach within the thirty (30) day period and diligently and in good faith continues to cure the
default.




          B) Tenant, at any time after Landlord is in default under paragraph (A) above, may cure the
default at Landlord’s expense. If Tenant at any time, by reason of Landlord’s default, pays any sum
or does any act that requires the payment of any sum, the sum paid by Tenant shall be immediately
reimbursed by Landlord, together with interest at eighteen percent (18%) per annum determined at
the time the expenditure is made by Tenant computed from the date of such expenditure until the
date of reimbursement by Landlord. If Landlord fails to make such payment(s) within fifteen (15)
days after Tenant’s written demand, Tenant shall be entitled to offset any amount due from
Landlord against the next Rent payment due under this Lease.




     15.04 Waiver of Redemption. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption
granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being dispossessed or
removed from the Premises upon the termination of this Lease because of default by Tenant
hereunder.



     15.05 Dispute Resolution. Landlord and Tenant desire by provisions of this Section 15.05 to
establish procedures to facilitate the informal and inexpensive resolution of any dispute arising
out of this Lease by mutual cooperation and without resort to litigation. To accomplish this
objective, Landlord and Tenant agree to follow the procedures set forth below if and when a
dispute arises between them under this Lease.



          A) Description of Dispute. The complaining party shall provide by notice a written
description of the alleged breach by the other party. This description shall explain the nature of
the complaint and the Lease provision(s) on which it is based. The complaining party shall also set
forth a proposed solution to the problem including a specific time frame within which the parties
must act. The party receiving the letter of complaint must respond in writing within ten (10) days
with an explanation, including references to the relevant parts of the Lease and a response to the
proposed solution. Within ten (10) days of receipt of this response, the parties must meet and
discuss options for resolving the dispute. The complaining party must initiate the scheduling of
the resolution meeting.




          B) Mediation. A settlement conference shall be held within thirty (30) days of the
unsuccessful resolution meeting or as soon as practical thereafter. The settlement conference
shall be held in the County of San Francisco, California.




          C) Arbitration With respect to disputes which the parties have been unable to resolve
informally or by mediation, the parties agree to submit the dispute for final and binding
arbitration if the dispute has not otherwise been settled. The parties agree
that the arbitration must be initiated within one (1) year after the date of the written
description of the alleged breach and that the failure to initiate arbitration within the one (1)
year period constitutes an




20









 




absolute
bar to the initiation of any proceedings. An arbitration shall be deemed initiated for
the purposes of this section by demand therefor being sent by certified mail to the other party
which notice shall contain a description of the dispute, the amount involved and the remedies
sought The parties shall have the right to representation by counsel throughout the arbitration
proceedings. All rulings, decisions, and awards of the arbitrators shall be in conformance with
California law. The award may be judicially enforced pursuant to §1285 et seq of the California
Code of Civil Procedure. Each party shall bear their own costs of legal counsel and the fees for
witnesses, unless otherwise determined by the arbitrator as part of the award The parties may
establish the scope of discovery by agreement If the parties cannot agree, the arbitrator will
have discretion to define the limits of discovery and to allow discovery upon a showing of good
cause, utilizing the following guidelines:




               (1) The arbitrator shall balance the benefits of discovery against the burdens and expenses to
the parties and the goals of arbitration as an alternative to traditional litigation.



               (2) The arbitrator shall have discretion to order pre-hearing exchange of information,
including but not limited to, the production of requested documents and exchanges of summaries of
testimony of proposed witnesses.



               (3) The deposition of the claimant(s) and respondent(s) and form sets of interrogatories
approved by the Judicial Council shall be allowed as a matter of
right. There shall be an early and
prompt designation and exchange of the names and addresses of expert witnesses who may be called
upon to testify at the arbitration hearing. Their depositions, special interrogatories, requests
for admission and all other discovery shall be allowed only upon a showing of good cause.


15.06 Attorneys’ Fees. Should any action or proceeding, be commenced between the parties to this
lease concerning said Premises, this Lease, or the rights and duties of either in relation
thereto, the party, Landlord, or Tenant, prevailing in such action or proceeding shall be
entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted in the action or proceeding, to a
reasonable sum as and for its attorneys’ fees therein which shall be determined by the
arbitrator(s) hearing such action or proceeding.

     18.11 Entire Agreement. This Lease and the exhibits attached set forth the entire agreement
between the parties. Except as specifically set forth herein, there are no agreements,
representations, or warranties whatsoever as to any matter. Any prior agreements, conversations,
or writings are merged herein, superseded hereby, and extinguished.



     18.12 Sale or Transfer of Premises. Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant in writing of any
sale or transfer of the Premises or any assignment of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, giving
the name and address of the assignee or new owner, as the case may be, and instructions regarding
the payment of rent or any other amount required to be paid by Tenant hereunder. In the event of
any transfer or assignment of Landlord’s interest in this Lease or any change in, or transfer of,
title in and to the Premises of any part thereof, whether voluntary or involuntary, or by act of
Landlord or by operation of law, Tenant shall be under no obligation to pay rent or other charges
payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, thereafter accruing, until Tenant shall have been
notified in writing of such transfer, assignment, or change in title, and given satisfactory
proof thereof, and the withholding of rent or other charges payable by Tenant to Landlord
hereunder, in the meantime shall not be deemed a default upon the
part of Tenant. Landlord may
assign this Lease and convey its title to the Premises, subject to this Lease, at any time. In
the event of such assignment of this Lease, Landlord



24









 




shall have no further obligations under this Lease, except for liabilities which shall have
accrued prior to the date of such assignment and transfer and that the assignee assumes in
writing Landlord’s obligations hereunder accruing on and after the effective date of the
assignment.




     18.13 Force Majeure. In the event that Tenant shall be delayed or hindered in or prevented
form the performance of any act other than Tenant’s obligation to make payments of rent, and other
charges required hereunder, by reason of strikes, lockouts, unavailability of materials, failure of
power, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, riots, insurrections, the default of Landlord,
war, or other reason beyond its control, then performance of such act shall be excused for the
period of the delay, and the period for the performance of such act
shall be extended for a
period equivalent to the period of such delay. Notwithstanding the foregoing, lack of funds shall
not be deemed to be a cause beyond the control of Tenant.



     18.14 Waiver. No term, covenant, or condition of this Lease can be waived except in
writing, signed by the party making the waiver, Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be. No waiver
of any default hereunder shall be implied from any omission by either party to take any action on
account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall
affect any default other than the default specified in the express waiver, and that only for the
time and to the extent therein stated. The acceptance by Landlord of Rent or partial Rent with
knowledge of the breach of any of the covenants of this Lease by Tenant shall not be deemed a
waiver of any such breach. One or more waivers of any breach of any covenant, term, or condition
of this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same covenant,
term, or condition. The consent or approval by either party shall not be deemed to waive or render
unnecessary that parry’s consent to or approval of any
subsequent similar act.



     18.15
Estoppel Certificate. Either party hereto shall, within twenty (20) days notice from the
other party (referred to as the “Requesting Party”), execute and deliver to the Requesting Party,
in recordable form, a certificate stating that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and
effect, or in full force and effect as modified, and stating the modifications. The certificate
also shall state the amount of current monthly rent, the dates to which the rent has been paid in
advance, the amount of prepaid rent, and any other information with respect to this Lease
reasonably requested by the Requesting Party. Failure to deliver the certificate within the twenty
(20) days shall be conclusive upon the party failing to deliver the certificate for the benefit of
the party requesting the certificate and any successor to the party
requesting the certificate, that
this Lease is in full force and effect, and has not been modified except as may be represented by
the party requesting the certificate, and that rent and other charges have not been paid for any
period after date of the notice requesting the certificate.



     18.16 Number and Gender. Whenever the context requires the singular number, it shall include
the plural, the plural the singular, and the use of any gender shall include all genders.



     18.17 No Holding Over. Tenant shall have no right to holdover after the end of the Term.
Should Tenant or any Leasehold Mortgagee succeeding to the interest of Tenant hold over in
possession after the expiration date, such holding over shall not be deemed to extend the Lease or
renew this Lease; and Tenant shall pay a pro-rated daily amount equal to one hundred twenty
percent (120%) of the Annual Rent in effect immediately preceding the expiration date until Tenant
vacates the Premises.



     18.18
Mechanics Liens. Tenant shall discharge, by payment, bonding or otherwise, any mechanics
liens filed against the Premises or the Entire Premises in connection with Tenant’s work and/or any
alterations or other work done by or on behalf of Tenant in the Premises within thirty (30) days
after Tenant receives notice of the filing of such lien, and Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant
at no expense to Landlord, in order to accomplish such discharge. Should Tenant fail to so
discharge any such mechanics lien, Landlord shall have the right to
remove such mechanics liens and
charge all costs thereof, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, to Tenant as
additional rent plus interest at 18%.



     18.19 Relationship of Parties. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed to create
the relationship of principal and agent, partnership, joint venture or any other relationship
between the parties hereto other than the relationship of Landlord

25









 




stockholders, officers or directors of Landlord or stockholders, officers, directors or trustees of
Tenant should such parties be corporate entities.

other monetary obligations to Landlord under this Lease.



     18.21 Facsimile Copies. Tenant and Landlord (i) have each agreed to permit the use, from time
to time and where appropriate, of telecopied signatures in order to expedite the transaction
contemplated by this Lease, (ii) each intend to be bound by its respective telecopied signature,
(iii) are each aware that the other will rely on the telecopied signature, and (iv) each
acknowledge such reliance and waiver any defenses to the enforcement of the documents effecting
the transaction contemplated by this Lease based on a telecopied signature.



     18.22 Anti-Merger. The voluntary or otherwise surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual
cancellation of this Lease shall not work a merger but shall at the option of Landlord either:



          A) Terminate any existing subleases or subtenancies; or




          B) Operate as an assignment to Landlord (and assumption by Landlord) of any subleases or
