in connection with the system not then terminated. In the event of the
termination of either the Telephone System or the Television System as described
in this Paragraph 11.6, but not both, the above described fee in the amount of

with the Television System shall be Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500).
In the event of any termination by Lessor of the Telephone System or the
Television System or both as provided in this Paragraph 11.6, the provisions of
Paragraphs 11.2 and 11.3 shall be applicable with respect to the equipment of
the terminated system and Lessee shall have thirty (30) days following the
effective date of termination to remove the applicable equipment as provided in
Paragraph 11.2 subject however to the provisions of Paragraph 11.3 pursuant to
which provisions Lessor and Lessee, during the sixty (60) day period prior to
the effective date of termination, shall negotiate in good faith with respect to
the purchase and sale of the Telephone Equipment and/or Television Equipment
relating to the terminated service(s). - The right to terminate as set forth in
this Paragraph 11.6, shall inure to the benefit of Lessor and shall, in
addition, inure to the benefit of successors in interest to Lessor pursuant to
this Agreement who hereafter purchase the Project from Lessor (or a successor in
interest to Lessor) provided that following such purchase this Agreement remains
in force and effect (and is therefore not terminated pursuant to the provisions
of the Paragraph 11.6).
Article 12
Default

events shall constitute a material default and breach of this Agreement by
Lessee:
(a) The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee; or
(b) The failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or any other
payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due, where such
failure shall continue for a period of three (3) days after written notice
thereof from Lessor to Lessee. In the event that Lessor serves Lessee with a
Notice to Pay Rent or Quit pursuant to applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes,
such Notice to Pay Rent or Quit shall not constitute the notice required by this
subparagraph; or
(c) The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the covenants,
conditions or provisions of this Agreement to be observed or performed by
Lessee, other than as described in paragraph (b) above, where such failure
continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from
Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's default is
such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then
Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default if Lessee commences such cure within
said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to
completion; or
(d) The occurrence of any two (2) audits during any twelve (12) month
period disclosing that Lessee has understated its receipts by three percent (3
%) or more as described in Paragraph 4.2 above; or

System in good condition and repair comparable with similar services, where such
failure continues for a period of fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof
from Lessor to Lessee; or
(f) Failure of Lessee to provide telephone service or television service to
residents of the Project comparable with similar services, or to make service
calls upon request in a prompt fashion as provided herein, where Such failure
continues for a period of five (5) days after written notice thereof from Lessor
to Lessee (provided that Lessee shall not be entitled to such five (5) day
"cure" period upon the second (2nd) to occur of any such failure within any
thirty (30) day period), except for any failure which results from the failure
of a tenant to timely pay its bills for telephone or television services
rendered, destruction of equipment without fault of Lessee (provided, however,
that such destroyed equipment is to be promptly replaced and repaired by Lessee
at its cost), or other commercially acceptable cause reasonably beyond the
control of Lessee; or
(g) Failure of Lessee to provide telephone or television services at
rates equal to or less than those charged by the applicable public utility or
local cable franchise, as the case may be, where such failure continues for a
period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee;
or
(h) The filing, of a voluntary petition of bankruptcy by Lessee or the
filing of an involuntary petition by Lessee's creditors, with such petition
remaining undischarged for a period of sixty (60) days; or

(j) An appointment of a receiver to take possession of substantially
all of Lessee's assets or of the Premises, with such receivership remaining
undissolved for a period of sixty (60) days; or
(k) The attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of
substantially all of Lessee's assets or the Premises, with such attachment,
execution or seizure remaining undismissed for period of sixty (60) days.
12.2 Defaults by Lessor. The occurrence of any one or more of the following
events shall constitute a material default and breach of this Agreement by
Lessor:
Failure to perform any of the material obligations required of Lessor
to be performed, provided that such failure continues for a period of thirty
(30) days after written notice thereof from Lessee to Lessor, which notice shall
specify the specific nature of the failure, and further provided, however, that
if the nature of Lessor's default is such that more than thirty (30) days is
required to cure such default, then Lessor shall not be in default if Lessor
commences to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently prosecutes the same to completion.
12.3 Remedies upon Default by Lessee. In the event of default by Lessee, the
following shall be applicable:
(a) In addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to
Lessor at law or in equity, Lessor shall have the right to immediately terminate
this Agreement and all access rights and other rights of the Lessee hereunder by
giving written notice to Lessee of such election by Lessor. If Lessor shall
elect to terminate this Agreement, then it may recover the amounts from Lessee
as are provided by applicable California law.
(b) In the event of a default by Lessee, Lessor shall also have the
right, with or without terminating this Agreement, to re-enter the Premises. If
Lessor does not elect to terminate this Agreement, Lessor may either recover all
rent as it becomes due or re-let the Premises, together with all access rights,
upon such provisions as Lessor in its sole judgment may deem advisable, and
Lessor shall have the right to make repairs to and alterations to the Premises.
If Lessor elects to re-let the Premises, then all rentals received by Lessor
from such a re-letting shall be applied to the payment of all costs and expenses
incurred by Lessor in connection with such re-letting and to the payment of rent
due and paid hereunder.
(c) Nothing contained in this Paragraph 13.3 shall constitute a waiver
of Lessor's rights to recover damages by reason of Lessor's efforts to mitigate
damages caused by Lessee's default.
12.4 Removal of Equipment. In the event of a termination of this Agreement by
Lessor resulting from the default of Lessee, Lessee, at its cost, shall have
thirty (30) days from the date of termination in which to remove the Telephone
Equipment and the Television Equipment; provided, however, that in no event
shall Lessee remove any wiring, cabling or accessories installed in the Project.
Notwithstanding the above, at the election of Lessor and without waiving
Lessor's election to terminate this Agreement, Lessor shall be entitled to
require Lessee to give Lessor fifteen (15) days prior written notice of its
intent to remove the Television Equipment and/or the Telephone Equipment. During
such fifteen (15) day term, Lessee shall cooperate with such third-party
providers as may be selected by Lessor so as to allow such third-party providers
to provide to the Project substitute telephone service and/or substitute
television service. Such cooperation shall include but not be limited to
cooperation in connection with the placement by third-party providers of new
equipment within the Premises. In addition, to the extent that Lessor elects to
do so, Lessee shall negotiate in good faith following any notice of termination
given by Lessor, in order to arrive at an agreement for purchase at fair market
value on a cash basis by Lessor of the Telephone Equipment and/or the Television
Equipment. Failing any such agreement for purchase of the Equipment, Lessee
shall continue to be entitled to remove such equipment in accordance with the
provisions hereof from the Premises.
Article 13
Damage or Destruction
13.1 Destruction of Premises Due to Risk Covered by Insurance. If during the
term of this Agreement the Premises are totally or partially destroyed from a
risk covered by insurance in effect at the time, and there are sufficient
insurance proceeds to pay in full for the cost of restoration, Lessor shall
restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as that which existed
immediately prior to destruction, provided that Lessor's obligation shall be
limited to the Premises and shall not include either the Television Equipment or
the Telephone Equipment. Lessee, at its cost, shall be required to restore the
Telephone Equipment and the Television Equipment. Any such destruction of the
Premises shall not terminate this Agreement. If the existing laws do not permit
the Premises to be restored to substantially the same condition as that which
existed immediately before the destruction, or if in the opinion of Lessor's
architect the restoration cannot be completed within one hundred eighty (180)
days from the date of damage or destruction, Lessor may terminate this Agreement
by giving written notice thereof to Lessee.
13.2 Destruction of Premises Due to Risk Not Covered by Insurance. If during the
term of this Agreement the Premises are totally or partially destroyed from a
risk where the cost of reconstruction is not fully covered by insurance, then
Lessor shall have the election to terminate this Agreement or restore the
Premises in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 13.1. If Lessor elects
to restore the Premises, this Agreement shall continue in effect and Lessee
shall have the obligation, at its cost, to restore the Television Equipment and
the Telephone Equipment.
13.3 Rent. In the event of any partial destruction of the Premises, the rent as
provided herein shall continue with no abatement, it being acknowledged that the
rent is based upon a percentage of Lessee's gross receipts only.
13.4 Restoration of Service. Provided only that the Project in its entirety has
not been substantially destroyed, Lessee at its cost shall quickly restore both
telephone and television services to the Project. Such restoration of services
shall include a temporary restoration of services during the period in which any
destruction of the Premises is being restored by Lessor.
Article 14
Miscellaneous
14.1 Indemnity. Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from and against
any loss, claim, damage or expense (including attorney's fees) in connection
with Lessee's operations at the Project; provided, however, that Lessee shall
have no obligation to indemnify Lessor with respect to any loss, claim, damage
or expense arising in whole or in part by reason of the negligence of Lessor,
its employees, agents or representatives.
14.2 Lessor Warranties. Except as specifically set forth herein, Lessor makes no
representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever to Lessee in connection
with the subject matter as described in this Agreement. Specifically, but not by
way of limitation, Lessor makes no representations or warranties as to the
suitability of the Project for the purposes as intended by Lessee pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement and makes no representations or warranties as
to the profitability or other success of the services to be provided by Lessee
hereunder.
14.3 Memorandum of Agreement. Upon the request of either Lessee or
Lessor, the parties agree to execute a memorandum of this Agreement in
recordable form and recorded in the Official Records of
- 13 -
Contra Costa County, California. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 11.6,
this Agreement shall survive any sale, assignment or other transfer of the
Project and shall be construed in all respects as a lease and not a license. "In
the event of a sale of the Project by Lessor, Lessor's obligations and
liabilities pursuant to this Agreement shall be limited to those obligations and
all liabilities accrued as of the completion of the sale and following
completion of the sale the purchasing party shall become the successor Lessor
pursuant to this Agreement and the current Lessor shall have no further
obligations or liabilities with respect to this Agreement. Lessor shall use its
best efforts to obtain from any third party lender a nondisturbance agreement
with respect to this Agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to both Lessor
and Lessee.
14.4 Authority. The person(s) executing this Agreement expressly represent(s)
and warrant(s) that he (they) has (have) full power and authority to do so.
14.5 Assignment. Lessee may not assign this Agreement without the consent of
Lessor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Subject to this provision,
this Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
heirs, successors and assigns, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the above
provisions, Lessee may assign this Agreement to an affiliated entity without the
consent of Lessor. For purposes hereof an "affiliated entity" shall be an entity
in which Lessee holds a majority in interest of the equity ownership as well as
management control.
Provided that Lessor has given its consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, Lessee shall be entitled to separately assign its rights
with respect to this Agreement relating to the Television System and those
rights relating to the Telephone System. By way of example, Lessee shall be
entitled to assign the rights to the Telephone System to a third party and
retain the rights to the Television System. In the event of any such assignment
by Lessee, in connection with the consent to such assignment required of Lessor,
Lessee shall cause to be prepared appropriate documentation to reflect the
separate assignment of the Telephone System and/or Television System which
documentation shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Lessor and shall
reflect the separate rights and obligations of the respective parties in
connection with the separate operation of the Telephone System and Television
System.
The consent of Lessee shall not be required in connection with any
assignment by Lessor of this Agreement or any one or more of the rights and
duties of Lessor pursuant to this Agreement. For example, but not by way of
limitation, Lessor may assign all of its rights and duties under this Agreement
with respect to a portion of the Project, while retaining all of its rights and
duties under this Agreement with respect to the balance of the Project.
14.6 Other Agreement. The parties hereby covenant and guarantee that the
entering into and performance of this Agreement will not create a breach or
default in any agreement to which they are a party. 14.7 Attorney's Fees. In the
event it becomes necessary for Lessee or Lessor to enforce the terms of this
Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees,
costs and expenses.
14.8 Condemnation. In the event of condemnation of the Project or a portion of
the Project, or a sale or a transfer of the Project under threat of eminent
domain, Lessee shall be entitled to recovery from any proceeds available by
reason of such eminent domain or condemnation action an amount reasonably
calculated to reimburse Lessee for the loss of benefits of this Agreement (or
portion of this Agreement) and for the loss of the investment in the Telephone
Equipment or Television Equipment resulting from such condemnation, taking into
account the depreciated value of such equipment.
14.9 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable, and the
invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the remaining
provisions.

provision hereof.
14.14 California Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and be construed
according to the laws of the State of California.
14.15 Waiver. No covenant, term or condition or breach thereof shall deemed
waived except by written consent of the party against whom the waiver is
claimed, and any waiver of the breach of any covenant, term or condition shall
not be deemed to be a waiver of any other covenant, term or condition.
Acceptance by Lessor of any performance by Lessee after the time the same shall
have become due shall not constitute a waiver by Lessor of the breach or default
of any covenant, term or condition unless otherwise expressly agreed to by
Lessor in writing.
14.16 Holding Over Period. If Lessee or anyone claiming under Lessee shall,
without the written consent of Lessor, hold over after the expiration or earlier

commotion, fire or other casualty, and other causes beyond the reasonable
control of the party obligated to perform, shall excuse the performance by such
party for a period equal to any such prevention, delay or stoppage, except the

byway of wiring and cable costs and other costs in connection with the operation
of both the Telephone System and the Television System, which investment in part

and attachments hereto may be altered, amended or revoked only by an instrument

Exhibit E
Rent Schedule Promontory Point Apartments
The rent to be paid by Lessee pursuant to Paragraph 4.1 of the
Agreement shall be paid in accordance with the percentages set forth below based
on the level of service as set forth below. If the level of service falls below
the minimum of sixty percent (60%), rent shall thereupon cease with respect to
the Telephone System and/or Television System with respect to which the service
has fallen below the mininm until the month in which the minimum service level
is again satisfied. The service level is to be determined separately with
respect to the Telephone System and the Television System so that the minimum
level may not be met with respect to the Telephone System within a given month
and still be met with respect to the Television System. For purposes of
determining when "service" is being provided to a given apartment, "hook-up" of
the System to such apartment shall be considered as proof of the commencement of
service. The rent as described herein is based upon a percentage of the gross
receipts with respect to the Telephone System and the Television System. During
any months in which rent is not being paid with respect to the Telephone System
and/or the Television System because the minimum service level has not been
achieved, Lessee shall continue to be obligated to provide the monthly reports
to Lessor as described in Paragraph 4.1 of the Agreement. The percentage of the
gross receipts paid in rent shall vary in accordance with the number of
apartment units being serviced as described below. In determining the level of
service with respect to either the Telephone Service or the Television Service
in any given month, the highest level of service in such calendar month shall be
determinative.
The percentage of monthly receipts to be paid by Lessee is described as
follows:
[From 11/1/96 through and including 12/31/2002:
No. of apartment units Percentage of Gross Monthly Receipts
being serviced
Telephone System Television System

Exhibit F
Insurance Requirements - Promontory Point Apartments
Lessee is required to comply at its cost with the following
minimum insurance requirements:
1. Lessee at its expense shall maintain the hereinafter described
insurance coverage with insurance carriers licensed and approved to do business
in the State of California (unless Lessor otherwise approves in writing) with a
general policyholder's rating of not less than A, and financial rating of not
less than X, in the most current Best's Insurance Report. In no event will the
insurance be terminated or otherwise allow ed. to lapse prior to the termination
or expiration of the Agreement. Lessee may provide the insurance described in

provided,. however, that any such policy or policies shall: (i) allocate to the
Project the full amount of insurance required hereunder, and (ii) contain,
permit or otherwise unconditionally authorize the waiver of subrogation as
described in Paragraph 8 below.
2. As evidence of specified insurance coverage, Lessor shall, in lieu
