B) The Annual Fixed Rent shall apply from the Rent Commencement Date through the

     4.02 Percentage Rent.







          In addition
to the payment of Annual Fixed 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
eight (8%) percent of the Gross Sales for such Lease Year exceeds the Annual Fixed 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. For the purpose of computing the Annual Percentage for the first Lease Year,
the Gross sales and the annual fixed rate percentage for the partial calendar month, if any,
preceding the first Lease Year shall be includable in the Annual Fixed Rate and Gross Sales for
the first Lease Year.








          Gross Sales shall mean all box office receipts, and receipts from sales of goods,
merchandise, beverages, food, vending machines and video games. Gross Sales shall exclude credits

other third parties for selling tickets and any sums paid to third parties for the use or rental

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 eighteen (18%) percent 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.




     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 such payment is past due, Tenant shall pay Landlord interest on such
unpaid rent at the rate of ten (10%) 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 Entire 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
when due all Impositions assessed, levied or attributable to the Entire Premises and/or the
Improvements on
the Entire 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.




          B) 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.




			
	 	 	 
	May 7, 1997
	 	ROSEVILLE

          C) Landlord will pay, before the last day on which payment may be made without penalty or
interest, all Impositions which shall be levied against Landlord’s Buildings, if any.




     5.02 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.




     5.03 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 5.03. Tenant shall indemnify, protect and
hold harmless Landlord and the Premises from any lien or liability with respect to any such
Imposition or contest thereof, including all costs and expenses related thereto. Landlord shall

     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
against injuries or damages to persons or property sustained in, on or about the Entire Premises,
Premises, Common Area and the appurtenances thereto, including the sidewalks and alleyways adjacent
thereto, with limits of liability no less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence and
in the aggregate.




          B) Physical Property Damage Insurance. During the term hereof, Tenant shall keep Tenant’s
Building (excluding foundations, footings and underground improvements) as well as any and all
improvements on the Entire 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) including Builder’s Risk and
earthquake to the extent of not less than 100% of the full replacement cost 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 and its affiliates. Upon written request,
Tenant shall name Landlord and any parties requested by Landlord and the holder of the first
mortgage on Tenant’s Building pursuant to a standard mortgage clause with respect to the foregoing
hazard insurance, provided such holder agrees with Tenant in writing to disburse such insurance
proceeds to Landlord for, and periodically during the course of, repair and restoration 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 of insurance
described in Section 6.02 shall:



          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



			
	 	 	 
	May 7, 1997
	 	ROSEVILLE

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 proceeds
received by the Tenant and/or Landlord shall be held in trust by Landlord and, except as
provided otherwise in Section 6.06, shall be applied as follows:



          First, 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 Second, 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 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 (B) (Physical Property Damage Insurance) the application
of insurance proceeds from damage or loss to property shall be determined in part in accordance with
Article XVI hereof and, in the event of any such repair, replacement, restoration or rebuilding, the Tenant and
Landlord shall apply the proceeds of the insurance collected to the cost of such work upon certificate of
satisfactory progress and/or completion in form satisfactory to Tenant and Landlord by the licensed architect or
engineer in charge of the work. Any amounts payable to Tenant or any Affiliate of Tenant for work or services
performed or materials provided as part of any such repair, replacement, restoration or rebuilding shall
not exceed competitive rates for such services or materials and Tenant shall, upon request of Landlord,
make available to Landlord and its representatives all books and records of Tenant relating to such work,
services and materials. 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
Tenant or Landlord with respect to the damage or destruction involved, and not used, shall be and remain
the property of Landlord.



          A) Distribution of Unutilized Proceeds. At the termination of this Lease, such
insurance proceeds or condemnation awards received and held by the Tenant 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




			
	 	 	 
	May 7, 1997
	 	ROSEVILLE

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 unleasable 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 earners 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.

Premises, and may, at its option, construct new Improvements on the Premises, or remove or demolish
Improvements on the Premises, provided that all such alterations or changes in Improvements and new Improvements
shall be performed in a first-class manner and must comply with all laws, zoning regulations and

clear of all liens and claims for labor or material and free and clear of all attachments,

Tenant’s Building and all improvements on the Entire Premises including all exterior lighting and

thereof from Landlord (provided that in the case of an emergency Tenant shall commence such work
immediately upon receiving notice) and shall be diligently completed in a good and workmanlike
manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right and option (but not the
obligation) to undertake any such repair, maintenance or other items, in which event Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for all of the costs thereof within 30 days after Landlord’s request therefor.
If Tenant fails to reimburse Landlord within the 30 day period, Tenant shall pay Landlord in
addition interest thereon at the rate of 18% per annum until such payment has been made.

penalties, fines, costs, resulting from the presence of Hazardous Materials on or about the

listings and correspondence (excluding those which may be reasonably considered confidential) of
or concerning the release, investigation of, compliance, clean up, remedial and corrective
actions, and abatement of Hazardous Materials whether or not required by any applicable laws,
including, but not limited to, reports and notices required by any applicable laws, including, but
not limited to, reports and notices required by or given pursuant to any applicable laws, and all

or any other persons relating to such release.




          D) Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall have the right, but not the obligation,

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or denied or conditioned or delayed, take any remedial
action in response to the presence of any Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Premises
or enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree or other compromise with any governmental

consent shall not be necessary in the event that the presence of Hazardous Materials in, on, under
or about the Premises (i) poses an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of any
individual or (ii) is of such nature that an immediate remedial response is necessary and it is

cause to be performed such Remedial Work. All Remedial Work shall be conducted (i) in a diligent
and timely fashion by licensed contractors acting under the supervision of a consulting
environmental engineer, (ii) pursuant to a detailed written plan for the Remedial Work approved by
any public or private agencies or persons with a legal or contractual right to such approval, (iii)

required permits, licenses or approvals. The selection of the Remedial Work contractors, any
disclosures to or agreements with any public or private agencies or parties relating to Remedial
Work and the written plan for the Remedial Work (and any changes thereto) each shall be subject to

Remedial Work or Hazardous Materials relating to the Premises. In the event the party responsible
therefor should fail to commence or cause to be commenced in a timely fashion, or fail diligently
to prosecute to completion, such Remedial Work, the other party (following written notice) may, but
shall not be required to, cause such Remedial Work to be performed, and all costs and expenses
thereof, or incurred in connection therewith (i) in the case where Tenant is the responsible party,
shall be paid as additional rent due and payable within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s invoice
therefor, or (ii) in the case where Landlord is the responsible party, shall be paid by Landlord to
Tenant within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s invoice therefor, and if not timely paid by Landlord, in
additional to all other rights and remedies, Tenant shall have the right of offset against rent

not exposed to any additional liability, risk or damages. Obligations under this Section are solely
for the benefit of the parties, their successors, and assigns and any subtenants of this Lease, and
not for any other third parties.

but not the obligation, to inspect, investigate, sample and/or monitor the Premises, including any
soil, water, ground water or other sampling, and any other testing, digging, drilling or analyses,
at any time to determine whether Tenant is complying with the terms of this Article VIII, and in
connection therewith, Tenant shall provide Landlord with full access to all relevant facilities,
records and personnel. If Tenant is in default with any of the provisions of this Article VIII,

approximately fifty-four thousand eight hundred sixty (54,860) square feet with sixteen
auditoriums.




          (B) Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with an improvement allowance of up to a maximum of
Four Million Six Hundred Sixty-Three Thousand One Hundred Dollars ($4,663,100) $85 per square

Landlord shall only be required to pay its pro-rata share which shall be the ratio of Tenant’s
Allowance to the total of Tenant’s Work. If Landlord disputes any portion of the request for
payment by Tenant due to faulty or incomplete work, then Landlord shall withhold a sum which, in
Landlord’s opinion would be required to correct or complete the disputed work. In this event,
Landlord shall submit a written “punch list” to Tenant. In addition Landlord agrees to provide
Tenant with a Site Allowance up to a maximum of One Million Seven

claims and liabilities arising by virtue of or relating to construction of by Tenant of Tenant’s
Building or Improvements or repairs made at any time to the Premises including repairs, restoration
and rebuilding and all other activities of Tenant on or with respect to the Premises. If Tenant is

CONDEMNATION — EMINENT DOMAIN




     13.01 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.




          B) “Total Taking” means the Taking of the fee title to the Entire 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 Entire Premises.




          C) “Partial Taking” means any Taking (including any damaging) of a portion of the Premises, 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.

          B) Service of any legal process relating to condemnation of the Premises or
improvements;




          C) Notice in connection with any proceedings or negotiations with respect to such a
condemnation; or




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




     13.03 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.



     13.04 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 Land, buildings
and other improvements on the Entire Premises and all Severance Damages.




          B) To Tenant, the amount awarded, if any, for loss of goodwill, lost business, lost profits,
relocation expenses and fixtures; and




          C) To Landlord, any balance.



Tenant shall only be entitled to payments under this Section 13.04 out of amounts awarded by the
governmental body taking the Premises.




     13.05 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 or the
parking taken bears to the total area of the Premises or the parking.



     13.06 Partial Taking — Option to Terminate. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
in the event of a Partial Taking, if more than thirty-three percent (33%) of the Building or
thirty-three (33%) of the parking is taken by 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).



     13.07 Separate Tenant’s Award. In the event of a Taking, Tenant may
make a separate claim with
respect to lost business, lost profits, goodwill, moving expenses, fixtures and relocation expenses
against the acquiring governmental Agency.

ARTICLE

DEFAULT




     14.01 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 Fixed 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.




     14.02 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 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 14.02(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;



			
	 	 	 
	May 7, 1997
	 	ROSEVILLE






18









 





               (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.



          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 14.02(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 14.02(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 14.02(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.




          F) Appointment of Receiver. If Tenant defaults under Section 14.02(C), 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 14.01 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 ten percent (10%) per annum computed from the date of such expenditure until the date
of reimbursement by Tenant.




     14.03 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




			
	 	 	 
	May 7, 1997
	 	ROSEVILLE






19









 




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.




     14.04 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.



     14.05 Dispute Resolution. Landlord and Tenant desire by provisions of this Section 14.05 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.




          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
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.
Arbitration shall be conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association.




     14.06 Attornevs’ 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.

charges required hereunder, by reason of strikes, lockouts, unavailability of materials, failure of

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

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 party’s
consent to or approval of any subsequent similar act.

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.

possession after the expiration date, such holding over shall not be deemed to extend the Lease or

(120%) of the Annual Rent in effect immediately preceding the expiration date until Tenant vacates
the Premises.
