          A)
Beginning on the Initial Rent Due Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord during the Lease Term
a “Base Rent” of $24,583.33 The Base Rent is sometimes referred to herein as the “Minimum Monthly Rent”
and shall
be subject to adjustment every five (5) years 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 fifth (5th) Lease Year of the Term.
The Minimum Monthly Rent shall be increased (but never decreased)
on the first
day of the sixth (6th) Lease Year and on the first day of each fifth (5th) 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, Salt Lake City, 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 seven and one-half (7.5%) 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

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 8% 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

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

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.

          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 daily 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

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

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 approvement 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 snail 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

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 follow:




               (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.

     15.01
Tenant’s Default. The occurence 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
or 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 fact 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; aid



               (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(X)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(X)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(C) shall not
relieve Tenant from the payment of any sum due to 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.
