(c) No Release of Lessee. No consent by Lessor to any assignment or subletting by Lessee shall relieve of any obligations to be performed by Lessee under this Lease, whether occurring before or after such consent assignment of the Lease, or subletting of the Premises. The consent by Lessor to any assignment or subletting shall not relieve Lessee from the obligation to obtain Lessor's express written consent to any other such assignment of the Lease or subletting of the Leased Premises. The acceptance of Rent by Lessor from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Lessor of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any assignment subletting, or other transfer. Consent to one assignment, subletting, or other transfer shall not be deemed to constitute consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, or other transfer. Lessee hereby irrevocably assigns to Lessor all Rent and other sums from any such assignment or subletting of the Leased Premises, and agrees that Lessor, as assignor and as attorney-in-fact for Lessee, or a receiver for Lessee appointed upon Lessor's application, may collect such Rent other sums and apply the same as provided in Paragraph 30 upon Lessee's default. Until the occurrence of any act of default by Lessee, assignee, or sublessee, Lessee shall have the right to collect such sums, provided that all excess sums over the Minimum Monthly Rent called for in the Basic Lease Provisions which any assignee or sublessee covenants to pay shall belong solely and exclusively to Lessor.

Each transfer, assignment, subletting, licensing, concession agreement, mortgage, and hypothecation to which there has been consent shall be by an instrument in a writing in a form satisfactory to Lessor, and shall be executed by the transferor, assignor, sublessor, licensor, concessionaire, hypothecator, or mortgagor, and the transferee, assignee, sublessee, licensee, concessionaire, or mortgagee in each instance, as the case may be; and each transferee, assignee, sublessee, licensee, concessionaire, or mortgagee shall agree in writing for the benefit of Lessor herein to assume, to be bound by, and to perform the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be done, kept, and performed by Lessee including the payment of all amounts due or to become due under this Lease directly to Lessor. One executed copy of such written instrument shall be delivered to Lessor. Failure to first obtain in writing Lessor's consent or failure to comply with the provisions of this Paragraph shall operate to prevent any such transfer, assignment, subletting, licensing, concession agreement, change of ownership, mortgage, or hypothecation from becoming effective.

If title to all of the Premises is taken for any public or quasi-pubic use under any statue, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu of eminent domain, or if title to so much of the Leased Premises is so taken that a reasonable amount of reconstruction of the Leased Premises will not result in the Leased Premises being a practical improvement and reasonably suitable for Lesse's continued occupancy for the uses and purposes for which the Leased Premises are leased, then, in either event, this Lease shall terminate on the date that possession of the Leased Premises, or part of the Leased Premises, is taken. If any part of the Leased Premises shall be so taken and the remaining part of the Leased Premises. (after reconstruction of the then existing building in which the Leased Premises are located) is reasonably suitable for Lessee's continued occupancy for the purposes and uses for which the Leased Premises are leased, this Lease shall, as to the part so taken, terminate as of the date that possession of such part is taken, and the Minimum Monthly Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion that the Gross Leasable Area of the portion of the Leased Premises so taken (less any additions to Leased Premises by reconstruction) bears to the original Gross Leasable Area of the Leased Premises. Lessor shall, at its own cost and expense, make all necessary repairs or alterations to the building in which the Leased Premises are located so as to constitute the portion of the Leased Premises a complete merchandising unit.

Default. In the event of any default under this Lease by Lessee, and such default, if it be in the payment of Rent or any other default which can be cured by the payment of money, continues uncured for a period of three (3) days after written notice thereof from Lessor, or if it be a default in any of the other provisions of this Lease, and such default continues uncured for a period of (30) days after written notice thereof from Lessor, then besides any other rights and remedies of Lessor at law or equity, Lessor shall have the right either to terminate this Lease or to have this Lease continue in full force and effect with Lessee at all times having the right to possession of the Leased Premises. Lessor shall recover from Lessee an award of damages equal to the sum of (A) the Worth at the Time of Award of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination, (B) the Worth at the Time of Award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Lessee affirmatively proves could have been reasonably avoided, (C) the Worth at the Time of Award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award the amount of such Rent loss that Lessee affirmatively proves could be reasonably avoided, (D) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment either proximately caused by Lessee's failure to perform Lessee's obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, and (E) all such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time under applicable law. For purposes of this Section, "Worth at the Time Award" shall be computed by allowing interest at the highest contract rate permissible under the laws of California or at such other rate as may be specifically prescribed by statue and by using as the annual Rent reserved hereunder the annual Rent plus the aggregate amount of any other Rent, charges and payments paid or payable by Lessee hereunder for the twelve (12) month period prior to the Lessee's default including, without limitation, all amounts payable for taxes, insurance, and other common area and Operating Costs. Should Lessor, following any breach or default of this Lease by Lessee, elect to keep this Lease in full force and effect with Lessee retaining the right to on possession of the Leased Premises (notwithstanding the fact that Lessee may have abandoned the Leased Premises), then besides all other rights and remedies Lessor may have at law or equity, Lessor shall have the right to enforce all of Lessor's rights and remedies under this Lease, including, but not limited to, Lessor's right to recover the Rent as it becomes due under this Lease. Nothing herein shall prevent Lessor from pursuing any and all other remedies it may have upon Lessee's default including but not limited to its statutory unlawful detainer remedy. Lessor shall have the right, in addition to its other remedies and means of redress provided by this Lease and by law, to obtain specific performance of any and all covenants or obligations of Lessee to be kept and performed under this Lease. Lessee hereby waiver any and all rights conferred by Section 3275 of the Civil Code of California and by Sections 1174(c) and 1179 of the Code of Civil Procedure of California and any and all other laws and rules of law from time to time in effect during the Lease Term providing that Lessee shall have any right to redeem, reinstate this Lease following its termination by reason of Lessee's breach. Lessor hereby Lessee hereto waive trial by jury in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Lease and the right to file therein any cross-complaints, counterclaims against the other, other than those which may be compulsory. All remedies herein conferred shall be deemed cumulative and no one exclusive of the other or of any other remedy conferred by law. 31. Waiver. No covenant or condition of this Lease can be waived except by the written consent of the Lessor or Lessee as appropriate, and forbearance or indulgence by Lessor or Lessee in any regard whatsoever shall not constitute a waiver of the covenant or condition to be performed by the Lessee or Lessor to which the same may apply, and, until complete performance by the Lessee or Lessor of said covenant or condition, the Lessor or Lessee shall be entitled to any invoke any remedy available unto it under this Lease or by law, despite said forbearance or indulgence. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such proceeding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent. 32. No Personal Liability of Lessor's Shareholders, et al. Lessor, is a California unincorporated association doing business as a real-estate investment trust. The trustees, officers, agents and employees of Lessor have no power to bind its shareholders personally, and no obligation of Lessor shall be binding personally upon its shareholders, trustees, officers, agents, or employees. All persons dealing with Lessor, its trustees, officers, agents, employees or representatives shall look solely to Lessor's property for satisfaction of claims of any nature arising in connection with the affairs of Lessor. 33. Successors and Assigns. This Lease shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the respective parties hereto, always providing that nothing in this Paragraph contained shall impair any of the provisions hereinabove set forth inhibiting assignment without the written consent of the Lessor. 34. Notice Any notice, statement, demand, request, consent, approval, authorization or designation required hereunder to be served upon either of the parties hereto shall be sufficiently served upon the other party by personal delivery or forty eight (48) hours after mailing the same, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or Federal Express, addressed as set forth in Paragraph M, of the Basic Lease Provisions, in the instance of Lessor, and to the Leased Premises in the instance of the Lessee, or to such other address as may from time to time be furnished in writing by Lessor to Lessee or by Lessee to Lessor or which may be set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions. 35. Competition. Lessee, or any individual, firm or corporation that controls Lessee or is controlled by Lessee, shall not own, operate, or become financially interested in a business similar to the one conducted on the Leased Premises within five (5) miles in any direction from the Leased Premises, the mileage measured on a straight-line basis on a map, not following contours of the land and streets. If Lessee defaults in performance under this Paragraph, Lessor can elect to include the gross sales from such other business in the gross sales made from or upon the Leased Premises for the purpose of computing any Percentage Rent payable under this Lease. 36. Rent Control The Rent and other terms of this Lease are the result of extensive negotiations between Lessor and Lessee, both of whom have professional real estate advice, and represent what both Lessor and Lessee have agreed are fair and reasonable for similar properties in the area. In the event any governmental body or agency should enact any regulation, ordinance or law which would reduce the Rent herein provided and the Lessee upon the enactment or at any time thereafter seeks to avail itself of the benefits of such regulation, ordinance or law, then the Lessor may upon thirty (30) days written notice to Lessee terminate this Lease and take possession of the Leased Premises for Lessor's use or such other use as Lessor may wish to make of the property. Nothing herein however shall require Lessee to violate any statute or regulation which will subject Lessee to a fine or penalty. 37. Quiet Enjoyment. Lessor covenants and warrants that upon Lessee's paying the Rent and observing and performing all of the terms, covenants and conditions to be observed and performed by hereunder, Lessee may peaceably and quietly enjoy the Leased Premises. 38. Signs, Auctions, Window. Lessor covenants not place, construct or maintain on the glass panes or supports of the windows of the Leased Premises, the doors, or the exterior walls or roof of the building in which the Leased Premises are located or any portion of the common and parking areas or any improvements located thereon, or on any other area of the Shopping Center or on any interior portion of the Leased Premises that may be visible from the exterior of the Leased Premises, any signs, (including, but not limited to, going out of business signs), advertisements, name, insignias, trademarks, descriptive material or any other similar item, which does not otherwise comply with Exhibit D, without Lessor's prior written consent issued subjected to Lessor's sole discretion. All exterior signs installed by or at the of expense of the Lessee shall be subject to Lessor's prior written approval and shall comply with Exhibit D attached hereto. Lessee shall not, without Lessor's prior written consent, place, construct or maintain on the Leased Premises any advertising media including, but not limited to, search lights, flashing lights, loud speakers, phonographs or other similar visual or audio media. Lessee shall not without Lessor's prior written consent solicit business in, on or about the common and parking areas or display or sell merchandise outside the Leased Premises or permit to be conducted any sale by auction in, on or about the Leased Premises, whether said action be voluntary or involuntary, pursuant to any assignment, for the benefit of creditors or pursuant to any bankruptcy other insolvency proceedings. Lessee shall not place, construct, install or maintain any covering on the inside or outside of the windows of the Leased Premises, without Lessor's prior written consent. 39. Covenant of Continuous Operation. Lessee shall continuously and uninterruptedly use the Leased Premises for the uses specified in this Lease at least eight (8) hours per day every day excepting Federal holidays. Further the Lessee shall maintain adequate inventory and have an adequate number of personnel operating the Leased Premises at all times to service and supply the requirements of Lessee's customers and keep its Leased Premises in a neat, clean and orderly condition. Lessee shall not lower the quality of its merchandise or change the quality of its operations without Lessor's written consent. Lessee shall employ its best efforts to operate its business on the Leased Premises so as to produce maximum Gross Sales. For the purpose of computing Percentage Rent, the Gross Sales for any period during which does not conduct its business as required by this Paragraph and/or any other provision in this Lease shall be deemed to be the greater of the Gross Sales generated on the Leased Premises during that period, or the Gross Sales generate during the corresponding period of the lease year in which Lessee's highest Gross Sales were generated. If the Leased Premises are destroyed or partially condemned and this Lease remains in full force and effect, Lessee shall continue operation of its business at the Leased Premises to the extent reasonably practical from the standpoint of good business judgment during any period of reconstruction. Lessee shall not use all or any portion of the Leased Premises for office, clerical, and other non-selling purposes. 40. Security Deposit As set forth in Paragraph J of the Basic Lease Provision, Lessee shall pay a "Security Deposit" which will be held by the lessor to secure performance under this Lease. The Security Deposit shall not be mortgage, assigned, transferred or encumbered by Lessee and any such act on the part of Lessee shall be without force and effect and shall not be binding upon Lessor. If any Rent or other sums due hereunder shall be overdue and unpaid or should Lessor make payments on behalf of the Lessee or should Lessee fail to perform any of the terms of this Lease, then Lessor may at its option and without prejudice to any other remedy which Lessor may have, on account thereof, appropriate and apply said Security Deposit or so much thereof as may be necessary to compensate Lessor toward the payment of Rent or other sums due Lessor or for the loss or damage sustained by Lessor due to such breach on the part of Lease; Lessee shall within ten (10) days of demand therefore restore said Security Deposit to the original sum deposited. In the event Lessee fails to occupy the Leased Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease, Lessor's remedies shall include, without limitation thereto, retention of all sums deposited herewith or otherwise paid pursuant to this Lease. Further, the Lessor may apply the Security Deposit to repair damages to the Leased Premises caused by the Lessee or to clean the Leased Premises upon termination of this Lease. The Security Deposit shall not bear interest nor shall Lessor be required to keep such sum separate from its general funds. Should Lessee comply with all of said terms and promptly pay all Rent and all other sums payable by Lessee when due to Lessor, said Security Deposit shall be returned in full to Lessee, (or, at Lessor's option, to the last assignee of Lessee's interest hereunder) at the expiration of the term of this Lease. In the event of bankruptcy or other debtor-creditor proceedings against Lessee, such Security Deposit shall be deemed to be applied first to the payment of Rent and other sums due Lessor for all periods prior to the filing of such proceedings. 41. Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to Lessor of Rent or other sums due hereunder shall cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges. Accordingly, if any installment of Rent or any other sums due from Lessee shall not be received by Lessor or Lessor's assignee within six (6) days after the date due, then Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to ten (10%) percent of such overdue amount plus any attorney's fees incurred by Lessor by reason of Lessee's failure to pay Rent and/or other sums when due hereunder. Any payment postmarked by the 5th of the month shall be presumed to be mailed in a timely manner. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Lessor will incur by reason of the late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of such late charges by the Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's default with respect to such overdue amounts, nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. 42. Environmental Matters (a) Lessee's Covenants Regarding Hazardous Materials. (1) Compliance with Environmental Laws. Lessee shall at its sole cost and expense, at all times and in all comply with all federal, state, local or regional laws, regulations ordinances or guidelines, "Hazardous Materials Laws" concerning the management, use, handling, generation, storage, transportation, presence, discharge or disposal of any oil, petroleum products, carcinogens, reproductive toxins, flammable or explosive materials, asbestos, pollutants, contaminants, urea formaldehyde, Freon, or other radioactive, hazardous, toxic, or infectious wastes, materials or substances, "Hazardous Materials".

Upon Lessor's withdrawal of consent to such activities, Lessee shall remove those Hazardous Materials from and/or cease those activities on the Leased Premises as are no longer permitted. Lessor's refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent to activities involving Hazardous shall not limit or affect any of Lessee's obligations under this Lease. Lessee shall provide to Lessor upon execution of this Lease a list of any Hazardous Materials which will be present at the Leased Premises and copies of any and all Material Safety Data Sheets associated therewith. Lessee shall update said list on a regular basis if any changes occur in the types or amounts of such Hazardous Materials. Lessor shall have the right to enter the Leased Premises from time to time to conduct tests, inspections and surveys concerning Hazardous Materials and to monitor Lessee's compliance with its obligations concerning Hazardous Materials and Hazardous Materials Laws.

Lessee shall also supply to Lessor as promptly as possible, and in any event within five (5) business days after Lessee first receives or sends the same, copies of all claims, reports, complaints, notices, warnings or asserted violations relating in any way to the use or presence of Hazardous Material on the Leased Premises.

Lessee's obligations hereunder shall include, without limitation, and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, all costs of any required or necessary repair, cleanup or detoxification or decontamination of the Leased Premises, and the preparation and implementation of any closure remedial action or other required plans in connection therewith. Said obligations shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease. (c) Additional Insurance or Financial Capacity. If at any time it reasonably appears to Lessor that Lessee is not maintaining sufficient insurance or other means of financial capacity to enable Lessee to fulfill its obligations to Lessor hereunder, regarding environmental matters, whether or not then accrued, liquidated, conditional or contingent, Lessee shall procure and thereafter maintain in full force and effect such insurance or other form of financial assurance, with or from companies or persons and in forms reasonably acceptable to Lessor, as Lessor may from time to time reasonably request. 43. Merchants Association/Marketing Fund. Lessee shall join and thereafter maintain, until the termination of this Lease, membership in a nonprofit "Merchants Association" composed of a majority of the occupants of the Shopping Center Bylaws of the Merchants' Association shall be originally adopted by a majority vote of the members of the Merchants' Association. Each member of the Merchants' Association and Lessor shall have one (1) vote. Such membership shall include the obligation of Lessee to pay assessments, as determined by said Merchants' Association, and subject to annual increases as determined by a majority vote of the Merchants' Association, to cover the expense of all advertising and other activities carried on by such Merchants' Association for the mutual benefit of its members. Lessee shall also pay to the Association on demand an initial assessment, such sum shall be used for the purpose of defraying the promotional expenses to be incurred by the Merchants' Association in connection with Lessee's initial opening in the Shopping Center. Any portion of such initial assessment not actually expended in connection with such initial opening shall be retained by the Merchants' Association. The provisions of this Lease shall prevail over any conflicting provisions which may be contained in the articles, bylaws or regulations of the Merchants' Association, and shall be deemed to be covenants for the benefit of Lessor and said Merchants' Association and shall be enforceable by each of them. Should Lessor so elect, these provisions regarding a Merchants' Association shall be replaced with the following provisions establishing a "Marketing Fund" which will provide for monthly payments to the Lessor to maintain a fund for promotion and marketing of the Shopping Center. Lessor may establish a Marketing Fund for the Shopping Center. Concurrently with each payment of Minimum Monthly Rent, as set forth in Paragraph H of the Basic Lease Provisions, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a "Monthly Marketing Charge", as set forth in Paragraph K of the Basic Lease Provisions, prorated for any partial month of the term of this Lease. Lessee hereby acknowledges that Lessor may not send monthly statements as a condition to Lessee paying Monthly Marketing Charge due under this Lease. Such Monthly Marketing Charge shall serve as Lessee's contribution towards the Shopping Center's advertising, promotion and public relations, including the administrative costs related thereto. The Monthly Marketing Charge shall be increased by ten (10%) percent every three (3) years. Lessee hereby agrees to pay such increase upon notice from Lessor Lessee further agrees to advertise Lessee's business operated from the Leased Premises in any special publications sponsored by Lessor for advertising by the Shopping Center Lessees at least twice during each lease year. Lessor shall maintain books and records of all contributions to and expenditures from the Marketing Fund.

Lessor shall have the sole right and exclusive authority to hire, control, supervise and discharge the marketing director and staff. 44. Lessor and Lessee. The words "Lessor" and "Lessee" as used herein shall include the plural as well as the singular, and the neuter shall include the masculine and feminine genders, and if there be more than one lessee, the obligations hereunder imposed upon the Lessee shall be joint and several. 45. Relationship of the Parties. The relationship of the parties hereto is that of Lessor and Lessee, and it is expressly understood and agreed that Lessor does not in any way nor for any purpose become a partner of Lessee or joint venturer with Lessee in the conduct of Lessee's business or otherwise, and that the provisions of any agreement Lessor and Lessee, relating to Rent, are made solely for the purpose of providing a method whereby the Rent payments are to be measured and ascertained. 46. Severability. If any term or provision of this Lease shall, to any extent, be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; it is the intention of Lessor and Lessee hereto that if any provision of this Lease is capable of two constructions, one of which would render the provision void and the other of which would render the provision valid, then the provision shall have the meaning which renders it valid. 47. Quitclaim. Where requested by the Lessor, at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Lessee shall execute acknowledge and deliver to Lessor, within five (5) days after written request from Lessor to Lessee, any quitclaim deed or other document required by any reputable title company to remove the cloud of this Lease from the real property subject to this Lease. 48. Other Payments to be Construed as Rent. Failure of Lessee to pay taxes, insurance premiums, or any other obligations of the Lessee under the terms of this Lease which can be satisfied by the payment of money by the Lessee shall be deemed to be Rent and shall carry the same consequences as failure to pay any installment of Rent. 49. Headings and Utilities. The marginal headings or titles to the paragraphs of this Lease are not part of this Lease and shall have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part of this Lease, but are intended for the convenience of the parties only. 50. Conditions. It is agreed between the parties hereto that all the agreements herein contained on the part of the Lessee, whether technically covenants or conditions, shall be deemed to be conditions at the option of the Lessor, conferring upon the Lessor, in the event of breach of any of said agreements, the right to terminate this Lease. 51. Jurisdiction. Lessee hereby consents and agrees that the courts of the City, County and State as set forth Paragraph E, of the Basic Lease Provisions, shall have jurisdiction over its person in actions arising under or relating to this Lessee, and Lessee agrees that any action brought by it arising out of or relating to this Lease shall be filed in said County. Lessor and Lessee agree that said City and County shall for all purposes be considered the place in which this Lease was entered into, notwithstanding the order in which, or the location or locations at which, it may have been executed or delivered. 52. Time Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and all of its provisions. 53. Corporate Authority. If Lessee is a corporation, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor on execution of this Lease a certified copy of a resolution of its board of directors authorizing the execution of this Lease and naming the officers that are authorized to execute this Lease on behalf of the corporation. 54. Entire Agreement. This instrument along with any exhibits and attachments hereto constitutes the entire agreement between Lessor and Lessee relative to the Leased Premises.
