    12.  INDEMNIFICATION BY BUYER IN THE EVENT OF DEFAULT UNDER LEASE. Buyer understands and acknowledges that Seller
remains liable in the event of default under the Lease. In the event Landlord seeks to recover damages from Seller due to a subsequent default by Buyer under the Lease, Buyer agrees to wholly

    15.  CAM CHARGES AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FOR HENDERSON PLAZA; ASSUMPTION OF YESCO SIGN LEASE. The Premises and the Fee
Simple Parcel are part of the general development known as the "Henderson Plaza Shopping Center." The Premises constitute a 20% portion thereof and the
Fee Simple Parcel upon development thereon will constitute a portion of the developed area of Henderson Plaza Shopping Center (the gross developed square footage upon the Fee Simple Parcel divided by
the aggregate developed square footage in all of Henderson Plaza Shopping Center, herein the "Fee Simple Portion"). The Henderson Plaza Shopping Center
is owned by Henderson Associates, a Nevada limited partnership (herein "Henderson Associates"). Buyer agrees to pay to Henderson Associates the sum of
its 20% pro rata portion for the Premises and (upon development thereon) the Fee Simple Portion of the shopping center CAM charges, as well as its 20% 

Page 3

 

pro rata portion and (upon development thereon) the Fee Simple Portion of general capital improvements constructed by Henderson Associates for the benefit of the general development area. Buyer
further agrees to assume and timely perform Seller's pro rata obligations under the "YESCO Sign Lease" at Henderson Plaza. Buyer's pro rata monthly
contribution approximates $3,000 at this time. Buyer has reviewed and approved the YESCO Sign Lease and agrees to be bound by its terms. Seller and Henderson Associates agree to cooperate with Buyer
in negotiating said YESCO Sign Lease, or obtaining new signage. This Agreement shall survive the closing of this transaction, shall be performed by Buyer within fifteen days (15 days) of the
presentment of invoices, and, for purposes hereof, Henderson Associates shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. In the event of a default of this provision by Buyer, Henderson
Associates is granted the additional right and remedy to suspend the parking and access privileges which the Premises and the Fee Simple Parcel are granted in and to the surrounding general
development. 

    16.  INDEBTEDNESS HELD BY SELLER. Buyer acknowledges that Seller holds indebtedness evidenced by a promissory note (the
"Note") in the approximate current amount to $1,248,000 secured by a deed of trust upon the fee simple interest in the Premises (the
"Premises Fee Simple"). Buyer agrees that (i) upon any acquisition of the Premises Fee Simple by Buyer or its principals, Buyer shall
concurrently cause the Note to be repaid in its entirety, (ii) prior to any repayment in full of the Note or disposition by Seller of all of its interest therein, Buyer shall cause its
principals to assist Seller in Seller's attempts to refinance the Premises Fee Simple or to finance or otherwise sell all of Seller's interest in the Note, including, without limitation, by
introducing Seller to Buyer's lending institutions, furnishing to lending institutions from time to time upon request (which Buyer may refuse to provide in its sole and absolute discretion), current
financial statements of Buyer, and otherwise cooperating with and assisting Seller in all reasonable respects; and (iii) Seller shall not be required to pay to Guarantor the approximately
$198,000 owed to Guarantor by Seller in respect of certain bowling equipment associated with the Premises until the Note has been entirely repaid or sold. Upon sale or repayment of the Note, the
$198,000 Note held by Guarantor will be applied as a credit against the Seller's Note on the Lucky Strike. Seller shall use its best efforts to obtain confirmation from the Landlord prior to closing
that the option price specified in the Lease shall be adjusted upon exercise to reflect the $198,000 reduction in the payoff of the Seller's underlying Note and deed of trust. 

    17.  IMMEDIATE DEVELOPMENT OF FEE SIMPLE PARCEL. Seller shall permit Buyer access to the Fee Simple Parcel prior to the
closing and shall permit Buyer to commence construction upon the Fee Simple Parcel prior to the closing; provided, however, that (i) Buyer shall not permit any lien to be placed against the Fee
Simple Parcel as a result of its activities and shall immediately cause any such lien to be removed; (ii) Buyer shall obtain all requisite insurance (in reasonably prudent amounts) and permits
with respect to its activities under this paragraph; (iii) Buyer shall only conduct such specific activities and construction projects as have been approved by Seller in an additional writing
in advance; (iv) Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller in all manners (including, without limitation, for attorney fees) with respect to the foregoing; and (v) if the
transactions contemplated hereby fail to close for any reason, Buyer shall have no right or claim with respect to any improvements upon the Fee Simple Parcel. 

    18.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties and it may not be changed or
amended, except by a writing signed by all parties. Any changes that purport to affect Henderson Associates must be agreed to in writing by it. 

    19.  BINDING EFFECT. In addition to the parties hereto, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of, their respective successors, assigns, agents, and representatives. 

    20.  WAIVER. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement and/or right or obligation of any party hereunder shall be
effective, except pursuant to a written instrument signed by the party or parties waiving compliance, and any such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for 

Page 4

 

the specific purpose stated in such writing. A waiver of one breach of this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of subsequent breaches. 

    21.  GUARANTEE. Guarantor hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees to all beneficiaries of this Agreement the full
and timely performance of all of Buyer's obligations hereunder except that Guarantor does not hereby assume or guarantee any obligations under the Lease. This Guarantee shall survive the closing
hereof. 

    22.  GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Nevada,
without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. 

    23.  ATTTORNEY FEES. In the event any dispute or controversy arises pursuant to this Agreement, and an action is
commenced, whether by arbitration, civil action, insolvency proceeding, or otherwise, the prevailing party therein shall be entitled to recover its actual costs and reasonable attorney fees from the
other party, whether such dispute is resolved by judicial or administrative order, settlement, or appeal. 

    TIME OF ESSENCE.  Time is of the essence of all of Buyer's and Guarantor's obligations hereunder.
