Section 4.01. Rent Commencement Date.

Tenant’s obligation to pay Minimum Rent and Percentage Rent under this Lease shall commence on the first to occur of (the “Rent Commencement Date”): (a) the date Tenant first opens for business to the public in the Premises; or (b) nine months after Tenant has obtained a building permit for the construction of Tenant’s Building. If the Rent Commencement Date does not occur on the first day of the month, Tenant shall pay rent for the fractional month on a per diem basis (calculated on the basis of a thirty day month) until the first day of the month next succeeding the date Tenant’s obligation to pay rent commences. The Minimum Rent shall be paid thereafter in equal monthly installments on or before the first day of each month in advance without demand or offset. The Minimum Rent to be paid by Tenant during the Term of this Lease is set forth in Section 1.02.6

Section 4.02. Percentage Rent

In addition to the Minimum Rent and all other sums designated in this Lease to be paid as Rent, Tenant shall pay Landlord Percentage Rent for each fiscal year during the Term, or fractional period thereof. In the event that Tenant commences business in the Premises prior to October 1, but after the preceding September 1, the period prior to October 1 and after January 1 shall be added to and included in the first full fiscal year of the Term, and Tenant’s Minimum Rent for that month or partial month shall be included in the Minimum Rent figure for such full fiscal year.

If Tenant actually commenced business in the Premises prior to October 1, for more than one month, then Percentage Rent shall be computed based on such partial year. If the Term expires on a day other than September 30, then Tenant’s Percentage Rent shall be computed based on such partial fiscal year.

Percentage Rent shall be calculated as follows:

	1.		Tenant’s annual Minimum Rent divided by the Percentage Rent Rate (specified in Section 1,02.7) equals “Percentage Rent Break Point”.

	2.		If Tenant’s Gross Receipts for the calendar year exceed the Percentage Rent Break Point, Tenant shall pay the Percentage Rent Rate of Tenant’s Gross Receipts less Minimum Rent actually paid.

	3.		Example of the foregoing:


Tenant’s annual Minimum Rent	=	***

Percentage Rent Rate	=	***

Percentage Rent Break Point	=	***
***

Gross Receipts	=	***

***	=

Less Minimum Rent Paid		***

Tenant owes as Percentage Rent		***

Within sixty (60) days following the end of each calendar year, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the written statement required by Section 6.02 of this Lease showing Tenant’s Gross Receipts for the preceding calendar year. Tenant shall pay to Landlord at the time of delivery of the written statement the percentage specified in Section 1.02.7 of the amount by which such Gross Receipts exceeded the Percentage Rent Break Point, less any Minimum Rent previously paid with respect to that calendar year

Section 4.03. Gross Receipts Defined.

“Gross Receipts” means (a) the entire amount charged for the full price at the time of the initial transaction for all merchandise sold or delivered or services rendered by Tenant whether for cash or credit; (b) the gross amount received or charged by Tenant for merchandise sold or services rendered pursuant to orders received by telephone, mail, house to house, or by other canvassing, and attributable to the Premises whether or not filled elsewhere; and (c) all gross income of Tenant from any operation in, at, from or through the use of the Premises. Excluded from the calculation of “Gross Receipts” are (I) cash refunded or credit allowed on merchandise returned by customers; (ii) sales taxes, excise taxes, other similar taxes; (iii) proceeds from sales of fixtures, equipment, or property which are not stock-in-trade; (iv) sales to employees representing discounts or compensation benefits and for which Tenant realizes no monetary profit in an amount not to exceed two percent (2%) of Gross Receipts and (v) EBF passes..

Section 4.04. Additional Rental.

All other sums required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this lease in addition to Minimum Rent and Percentage Rent, whether or not designated as rent and additional rent, unless otherwise specified. Rent for any period which is less than one (1) month shall be a prorated portion of the monthly rent installment based upon a thirty (30) day month.

Section 4.05. Late Payment.

If the Tenant fails to pay the Minimum Rent or any installment thereof or Percentage Rent, if any, or any other additional rent due under this Lease within five (5) days after such Rent has become due, both Tenant and Landlord agree that Landlord will incur additional expenses consisting of extra collection efforts, handling costs and potential impairment of credit on loans which may be secured by this Lease. Both parties agree that should Tenant fail to pay its Rent, Landlord is entitled to compensation for detriment caused by the failure, but that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of the detriment. The parties therefore agree that should Tenant fail to pay any Rent due hereunder within five (5) days after the same becomes due, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant five percent (5%) of the amount past due as liquidated damages. Such past due amounts shall also bear interest at the maximum rate allowed by law from the date due until paid. Tenant further agrees to pay Landlord any costs incurred by Landlord in the collection of such past due Rent including, but not limited to, fees of an attorney and/or collection agency. Nothing herein contained shall limit any other remedy of Landlord under this Lease. Landlord shall also have the right to require Tenant to pay any past due sums by cashier’s check or money order.

Further, should Tenant fail to pay Rent or any other charges due hereunder in the time periods set forth herein, two (2) or more times during any calendar year of the Term, Landlord may require Tenant to thereafter pay Rent in quarterly installments in advance for the balance of the Term.

Section 5.04. Delay in Possession

Landlord shall not be liable for failure to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant.

Section 21.02. Total Parking Area.

If the entire portion of the Common Area used for parking in the Entire Premises (“Parking Area”) shall be acquired for any public or quasi-public use or purpose or taken by eminent domain, then the Term shall cease and terminate as of the date possession or title is given to such condemning authority in such proceeding unless Landlord shall provide other parking facilities substantially equal to the previously existing ratio between the Parking Area and the Premises within ninety (90) days from the date of such taking. In the event that Landlord shall provide such other parking facilities, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect without abatement of Rent or other charges.

Section 21.03. Partial Condemnation.

If any part of the Premises shall be acquired or taken by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, and in the event that such partial taking or condemnation shall render the Premises, in Landlord’s discretion, unsuitable for the operation of Tenant’s business, then the Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date possession or title is given to such condemning authority is such proceeding. In the event of a partial taking or condemnation which is not extensive enough to render the Premises unsuitable for the operation of Tenant’s business, then Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises to the extent of the condemnation proceeds to a condition comparable to its condition at the time of such condemnation less the portion lost in the taking, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and the Minimum Rent shall be equitably reduced based on the percentage of floor area of the Premises lost in the taking.

Section 21.05. Allocation of Award.

Except as provided below, in the event of any condemnation or taking as herein provided, whether whole or partial, Tenant shall not be entitled to any part of the award, as damages or otherwise, for such condemnation and Landlord is to receive the full amount of such award; Tenant expressly waives any right or claim to any part thereof, including the right or claim for the value of the unexpired portion of the Term or diminution in value of Tenant’s leasehold interest, or for the value of any option to extend the Term or renew this Lease. Tenant shall, however, have the right, provided such award shall not diminish Landlord’s award, to claim and recover from the condemning authority, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant in Tenant’s own right on account of any and all damages to Tenant’s business for Goodwill and loss of income by reason of the condemnation and for or on account of any cost or less to which Tenant might incur in removing Tenant’s merchandise, future, fixtures and equipment from the Premises.

ARTICLE XXII

DEFAULT

Section 22.01. Tenant’s Default.

The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default by Tenant: (a) failure to pay rent when due, if the failure continues for three (3) days after notice has been given to Tenant; (b) abandonment and/or vacation of the Premises; (c) failure to operate in the Premises for ten (!0) consecutive days; (d) failure to perform any nonmonetary provision of this Lease if the failure to perform is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice has bcen given to Tenant; provided that if the nonmonetary default cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, Tenant shall not be default of this Lease if Tenant commences to cure the default within the thirty (30) day period and diligently and in good faith continues to cure the default; and (e) failure to timely deliver an estoppel certificate as required by Section 17.01.

Notices given under this Section 22.01 shall not be deemed a forfeiture or a termination of this Lease unless Landlord so elects in the notice. Notices given under this Section 22.01 shall be in lieu of and not in addition to any statutory notice required by law.

Section 22.02. Landlord’s Remedies.

Landlord shall have the following remedies if Tenant commits a default. These remedies are not exclusive; they are cumulative in addition to any remedies now or later allowed by law.

Landlord can continue this Lease in full force and effect after Tenant’s default and abandonment, and the Lease will continue in effect as long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession, and Landlord may enforce all Landlord’s rights and remedies under the Lease, including the right to collect Rent when due. During the period Tenant is in default, Landlord can enter the Premises and relet them, or any part of them, to third parties for Tenant’s account. Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting the Premises, including, without limitation, brokers’ commissions, expenses of remodeling the Premises required by the reletting, and like costs. Reletting can be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Term of this Lease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Rent due under this Lease on the dates the Rent is due, less the rent Landlord receives from any reletting. No act allowed by this Section 22.02 shall terminate this Lease unless Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord elects to terminate this Lease.

If Landlord elects to relet the Premises as provided in this Section 22.02, Rent that Landlord receives from reletting shall be applied to the payment of: first, any indebtedness from Tenant to Landlord other than Rent due from Tenant; second, all costs, including maintenance, incurred by Landlord in reletting; and third, Rent due and unpaid under this Lease. After deducting the payments referred to in this Section, any sum remaining from the Rent Landlord receives from reletting shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as Rent becomes due under this Lease. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any excess Rent received by Landlord. If, on the date Rent is due under this Lease, the Rent received from the reletting is less than the Rent due on that date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to the remaining Rent due, all costs, including maintenance, Landlord incurred in reletting that remain after applying the Rent received from the reletting as provided in this Section 22.02.

Landlord can terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises at any time. No act by Landlord other than giving notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver on Landlord’s initiative to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession. On termination, Landlord has the right to recover from Tenant: (a) the worth, at the time of the award, of the unpaid rent that had been earned at the time of termination of this Lease; (b) 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; and (d) any other amount, and court costs, necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s default. “The worth, at the time of the award”, as used in (a) and (b) of this Section 22.02, is to be computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate an individual is permitted by law to charge. “The worth, at the time of the award,” as referred to in (c) of this Section 22.02, 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%).

Section 22.03. Appointment of Receiver.

If Tenant is in default of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to have a receiver appointed to collect Rent and conduct Tenant’s business. 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.

Section 22.04. Landlord’s Right to Cure Tenant’s Default.

Landlord, at any time after Tenant commits a default, can cure the default at Tenant’s cost. 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 due immediately from Tenant to Landlord at the time the sum is paid, and if paid at a later date shall bear interest at the maximum rate an individual is permitted by law to charge from the date the sum is paid by Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant. The sum, together with interest on it, shall be additional rent.

Section 22.05. Waiver of Rights of Redemption.

Tenant expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession

7/18/97

of the Premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease, or otherwise.

Section 22.06. Default by Landlord.

If Landlord fails to perform any of the covenants or conditions required on its part to be performed pursuant to this Lease, where such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice specifying the nature and extent of such default in detail (provided, however, that if such default is of a nature that it cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) day period). Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for all damages sustained as a direct result of such breach, subject to the additional rights of any mortgagees of Landlord as provided in Section 17.04 herein. Landlord’s liability shall be limited to Landlord’s interest in the Entire Premises. Neither Landlord nor any of its partners shall be personally liable.
