Tenant; provided, however, (i) that the Indemnitees and other parties in interest to it shall be

shall contain, if obtainable upon commercially reasonable terms, either (i) a waiver by the insurer
of the right of subrogation against either party hereto for negligence of such party, or (ii) a
statement that the insurance shall not be invalidated should any insured waive in writing prior to

about the Property or the Improvements, (b) any failure on the part of Tenant to perform or
comply with any of the terms of this Lease, or (c) any negligence or tortious act on the part of

ARTICLE 14. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY OR
IMPROVEMENTS
14.1 Tenant's Repair Obligation.
14.1.1 In case of damage to or destruction of the Property or the Improvements, or any
part thereof, by fire or other cause at any time during the Term of this Lease, Tenant, if and to
the extent insurance proceeds are available, shall restore the same as nearly as possible to their
value, condition and character immediately prior to such damage or destruction. Such
restoration shall be commenced with due diligence and in good faith, and prosecuted with due
diligence and in good faith, unavoidable delays excepted.

total amount of loss does not exceed thirty-three percent (33%) of the replacement value of the
Improvements, Tenant shall make the loss adjustment with the insurance company insuring the
loss, with the approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. The proceeds shall be paid directly to a Mortgagee, if any, and if there is not a
Mortgagee, to Landlord and Tenant for the sole purpose of making the restoration of the
Improvements in accordance with this Article 14.
Page 27
14.2.2 If, during the Term, the Improvements are damaged or destroyed, and the
total amount of loss exceeds thirty-three percent (33%) of the replacement value of the
Improvements, Tenant shall make the loss adjustment with the insurance company insuring the
loss, with the approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, and the insurance company shall immediately pay the proceeds to a bank or trust
company designated by Landlord and approved by Tenant ("Insurance Trustee"), which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any leasehold mortgagee shall be an acceptable
Insurance Trustee. All sums deposited with the Insurance Trustee shall be held for the following
purposes and the Insurance Trustee shall have the following powers and duties:
(a) The sums shall be paid in installments by the Insurance Trustee to the
contractor retained by Tenant and approved by Landlord as construction progresses, for payment
of the cost of restoration. A ten percent (10%) retention fund shall be established that will be
paid to the contractor on completion of restoration, payment of all costs, expiration of all
applicable lien periods, and proof that the Property and the Improvements are free of all
mechanics' liens and lienable claims;
(b) Payments shall be made on presentation of certificates or vouchers from
the architect or engineer retained by Tenant and approved by Landlord (which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed) showing the amount due. If the Insurance Trustee, in its
reasonable discretion, determines that the certificates or vouchers are being improperly approved
by the architect or engineer retained by Tenant, the Insurance Trustee shall have the right to
appoint an architect or an engineer to supervise construction and to make payments on
certificates or vouchers approved by the architect or engineer retained by the Insurance Trustee.
The reasonable expenses and charges of the architect or engineer retained by the Insurance
Trustee shall be paid by the Insurance Trustee out of the trust fund;
(c) If, after the work of restoration has commenced, the sums held by the
Insurance Trustee are not sufficient to pay the actual cost of restoration, Tenant shall deposit the
amount of the deficiency with the Insurance Trustee within ten (10) days after receipt of request
for payment of such amount from the Insurance Trustee, which request shall be made by the
Insurance Trustee promptly after it is determined there will be a deficiency;
(d) If the Insurance Trustee has received notice from Landlord that the Tenant
is in default under this Lease, then, subject to the lien of a Mortgagee's Mortgage and the
Mortgagee's prior written consent, the Insurance Trustee shall pay to Landlord an amount
sufficient to cure such default as specified in Landlord's notice to the Insurance Trustee;
(e) Any amounts remaining after making the payments hereinabove referred
to in clauses (a), (b) and (d), and after paying the reasonable costs and expenses of the Insurance
Trustee, shall be paid to any leasehold Mortgagee to the extent (a) required by any Mortgage and
(b) such leasehold Mortgagee makes written demand therefor to the Insurance Trustee;
(I) Any undisbursed funds remaining after compliance with all of the
provisions of this Section 14.2 shall, if and to the extent required by any Mortgage, be delivered
to the Mortgagee, and if there is no leasehold Mortgagee, to Tenant; and
Page 28
(g) All actual costs and charges of the Insurance Trustee shall be paid by
Tenant. If the Insurance Trustee resigns or for any reason is unwilling to act or continue to act,
Landlord shall substitute a new Insurance Trustee in the manner described in this Section.
14.2.3 Both parties shall promptly execute all documents and perform all acts
reasonably required by the Insurance Trustee to perform its obligations under this Section 14.2.
14.3 Procedure for Restoring Improvements.
14.3.1 If and to the extent Tenant is obligated to restore the Improvements
pursuant to this Article 14, Tenant shall restore the Improvements substantially in accordance
with the Plans. Within forty-five (45) days after the date of such damage or destruction (as such
time may be reasonably extended at the written request of Tenant), Tenant, at its cost, shall
prepare and deliver to Landlord final plans and specifications and working drawings complying
with applicable laws that will be necessary for such restoration. Such plans and specifications
shall specify differences from the Plans. The plans and specifications and working drawings are
subject to the approval of Landlord only insofar as they vary from the Plans. Landlord shall have
twenty (20) days after receipt of the plans and specifications and working drawings to either
approve or disapprove the plans and specifications and working drawings and return them to
Tenant. If Landlord disapproves the plans and specifications and working drawings, Landlord
shall notify Tenant of its objections in writing, specifying the objections clearly and stating what
modifications are required for Landlord's approval. Tenant acknowledges that the plans and
specifications and working drawings shall be subject to approval of the appropriate government
bodies and that they will be prepared in such a manner as to obtain that approval.
14.3.2 The restoration shall be accomplished as follows:
(a) Tenant shall complete the restoration within fifteen (15) months after fmal
plans and specifications and working drawings have been approved by the appropriate
government bodies and all required permits have been obtained.
(b) Tenant shall retain a licensed contractor that is bondable. The contractor
shall be required to carry public liability and property damage insurance, builders risk insurance,
standard fire and extended coverage insurance, with vandalism and malicious mischief
endorsements, during the period of construction in accordance with Article 9. Such insurance
shall contain waiver of subrogation clauses in favor of Landlord and Tenant in accordance with
the provisions of and to the extent required by Section 9.8.
(c) Tenant shall notify Landlord of the date of commencement of the
restoration not later than ten (10) days before commencement of the restoration to enable
Landlord to post and record notices of nonresponsibility. The contractor retained by Tenant shall
not commence construction until a completion bond and a labor and materials bond have been
delivered to Landlord to insure completion of the construction.
Page 29
(d) Tenant shall accomplish the restoration in a manner that will cause the
least inconvenience, annoyance, and disruption to the Property and the Improvements.
(e) On completion of the restoration Tenant shall immediately record a notice
of completion.
(f) If Section 14.2.2 is applicable, the restoration shall not be commenced
until sums sufficient to cover the cost of restoration are placed with the Insurance Trustee as
provided in said Section 14.2.2.
14.4 Mortgagee Protection. The following provisions are for the protection of a
Mortgagee and shall, notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, control:
14.4.1 Insurance. Any insurance proceeds payable from any policy of insurance
(other than liability insurance) required by the Lease shall be paid to the Mortgagee, if any, to the
extent required by the Mortgage. The Mortgagee, if any, shall have the right to participate in all
adjustments, settlements, negotiations or actions with the insurance company regarding the
amount and allocation of any such insurance proceeds. Any insurance policies permitted or
required by this Lease shall name the Mortgagee, if any, as an additional insured or loss payee,
as appropriate, if required by such Mortgage.
14.4.2 Restoration. Tenant shall have no obligation to restore or repair the
Improvements following the occurrence of any casualty for which insurance is not required
under this Lease. The Mortgagee, if any and if it exercises any of its remedies set forth in this
Lease, shall have no obligation to restore or repair damage to the Improvements that cost in
excess of available insurance proceeds. Tenant shall have no obligation to restore or repair
damage to the Improvements if the casualty occurs during the last five (5) years of the Lease
term. In the event such a loss occurs in the last five (5) years, then, at the election of Tenant,
with the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, if any, insurance proceeds shall be used, first, to
clear the Property of the damaged Improvements and any debris, and second, to reduce or pay in
full the Mortgage, with any excess being payable as provided in this Lease.
Article 15. EMINENT DOMAIN
15.1 Notice. The party receiving any notice of the kind specified in this Section 15.1
shall promptly give the other party notice of the receipt, contents and date of the notice received.
For purposes of this Article 15, the term "Notice" shall include:
(a) Notice of Intended Taking;
(b) Service of any legal process relating to condemnation of the Property or the
Improvements;

transfer in lieu of condemnation.
15.2 Representation in Proceedings or Negotiations. Landlord and Tenant shall
each have the right to represent their respective interests in each proceeding or negotiation with
respect to a Taking or intended Taking and to make full proof of their claims. No agreements or
settlement with or sale or transfer to the condemning authority shall be made without the consent
of Landlord, but, as to its reversionary interest only, Landlord may enter into such agreement,
settlement, sale or transfer without the consent of Tenant. Landlord and Tenant each agree to
execute and deliver to the other any instruments which may be required to effectuate or facilitate
the provisions of this Lease relating to condemnation.
15.3 Total Taking.
15.3.1 In the event of a Total Taking, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of
the Taking.
15.3.2 If this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section 15.3, the Award for
such Taking shall be apportioned and distributed as follows:
15.3.2.1 First, to the Mortgagee, if any, to the extent of the
Mortgage;
15.3.2.2 Second, to Landlord, a sum equal to the fair market value
of the Property (subject to the remaining Term and the Rent reserved) on the date immediately
preceding the Taking as determined by the appraisal method set forth in Article 16 and
determined as if there were no taking nor threat of condemnation. The parties shall commence
said appraisal by the earlier of ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt of a copy of a Notice of
Intended Taking or ten (10) days after the date of the Taking;
15.3.2.3 Third, to Tenant, a sum equal to the fair market value of the
Improvements made by Tenant on the date immediately preceding the Taking as determined by
the appraisal method set forth in Article 16 and determined as if there were no Taking, nor threat
of condemnation; plus the residual value of the Term, subject to the Rent reserved; plus any part
of the Award attributable to the Low Income Housing Tax Credit; and
15.3.2.4 Fourth, to Landlord, the remainder, if any.
15.4 Substantial Taking.
15.4.1 In the event of a Taking which, in Tenant's reasonable judgment is
substantial, Tenant may, subject to the rights of the Mortgagee, if any, terminate this Lease. If
Tenant elects to terminate this Lease under this provision, Tenant shall give written notice of its
election to do so to Landlord within forty-five (45) days after receipt of a copy of a Notice of
Intended Taking. In the event Landlord disputes the right of Tenant to terminate this Lease
under this provision, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of this fact within forty-five (45) days
Page 31
after receiving the notice of Tenant's election to terminate, and the parties shall either raise this
issue in the eminent domain proceeding, if any, as an issue with respect to the apportionment of
the Award between Landlord and Tenant or, if there is no eminent domain proceeding, submit
the issue to arbitration as provided in Article 23. In the event it is determined that Tenant does
not have the right to terminate this Lease, the apportionment of the Award for such Taking and
the obligations of Tenant to restore shall be governed by the terms of Section 15.6 or
Section 15.8, whichever is applicable.
15.4.2 In the event it is determined that Tenant has the right to terminate this
Lease, or in the event Landlord does not dispute Tenant's right to terminate this Lease, such
termination shall be as of the time when the Taking entity takes possession of the portion of the
Property and the Improvements taken. In such event, the Award for such Substantial Taking
(including any award for severance, consequential or other damages which will accrue to the
portion of the Property and/or the Improvements not taken) shall be apportioned and distributed
as follows:
(a) First, to the Mortgagee, if any, to the extent of the Mortgage;
(b) Second, to Landlord, a sum equal to the fair market value of the Property
taken (subject to the remaining Term and the Rent reserved) immediately preceding the date of
the Taking as determined by the appraisal process provided for in Article 16, commenced as
provided in Section 15.3.2, and as modified by Section 15.6.3;
(c) Third, to Landlord, an amount equal to the portion of the award for
severance, consequential or other damages which accrued to the portion of the Property and/or
Improvements not taken;
(d) Fourth, to Tenant a sum equal to the fair market value of the
Improvements made by Tenant taken immediately preceding the date of the Taking as
determined by the appraisal process provided for in Article 16, commenced as provided in
Section 15.3.2, and as modified by Section 15.6.3; plus the residual value of the Term, subject to
the Rent reserved; plus any part of the Award attributable to the Low Income Housing Tax
Credit; and
(e) Fifth, to Landlord, the remainder, if any.
15.5 Tenant's Right to Revoke Notice of Termination. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in Section 15.4, if Tenant has elected to terminate this Lease, and the
taking authority abandons or revises the Taking, Tenant shall have forty-five (45) days from
receipt of written notice of such abandonment or revision to revoke its notice of termination of
this Lease.
15.6 Partial Taking.
15.6.1 In the event of a Partial Taking, this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect and Landlord and Tenant shall agree upon an equitable reduction in the Annual Rent. If
Page 32
the parties fail to agree upon such reduction within sixty (60) days from the date Tenant is
required to give up such occupancy, use or access, whichever is earlier, Landlord and Tenant
shall each choose one arbitrator and the two arbitrators so chosen shall choose a third arbitrator.
The decision of any two of the arbitrators concerning the reduction in Annual Rent, if any, shall
be binding on the Landlord and Tenant and any expense of the arbitrators only shall be divided
equally between Landlord and Tenant (each party shall be liable for any and all costs incurred by
such party, including without limitation attorneys' fees and expert fees).
15.6.2 The Award for such Partial Taking shall be apportioned and distributed
first to the Mortgagee, if any, to the extent of the Mortgage, then to Landlord and Tenant in
proportion to the fair market value of their respective interests in the Property and
Improvements, as such interests existed immediately prior to such Partial Taking. Tenant's only
interest in the Property and the Improvements for purposes of this Section 15.6.2 is in those
Improvements constructed by Tenant. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, any part of the Award attributable to the Low Income Housing Tax Credit shall belong
to Tenant.
15.6.3 The fair market value of the parties' respective interests in the Property
and the Improvements shall be determined by the appraisal process provided in Article 16,
except that the assumptions listed in such Article shall not apply. Rather, the appraisal shall be
based on the value of the Property as improved and encumbered by this Lease and on the value
of the Improvements as they stand, but without regard to any Taking or threat of condemnation.
15.6.4 Any Award for severance, consequential or other damages which accrues
by reason of the Partial Taking to the portion of the Property or the Improvements not taken shall
be distributed first to the Mortgagee, if any, to the extent of the Mortgage, then shall be
apportioned between Landlord and Tenant in accordance with the diminution in value of their
respective interests.
15.7 Obligation to Repair on Partial Taking. Promptly after any Partial Taking and
regardless of the amount of the Award for such Taking, Tenant shall, to the extent of the Award
received by Tenant and in the manner specified in the provisions of this Lease, repair, alter,
modify or reconstruct the Improvements and/or other improvements on the Property so as to
make them usable for the designated purpose and capable of producing a fair and reasonable net
income.
15.8 Temporary Taking.
15.8.1 In the event of a Temporary Taking of the whole or any part of the
Property and/or Improvements, the Term shall not be reduced or affected in any way and Tenant
shall continue to pay in full any sum or sums of money and charges herein reserved and provided
to be paid by Tenant, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 15.8, Tenant shall be
entitled to any Award or payment for the temporary use of the Property and/or Improvements
prior to the termination of this Lease, and Landlord shall be entitled to any Award or payment for
such use after the termination of this Lease.
Page 33
15.8.2 If possession of the Property and/or Improvements shall revert to Tenant
prior to the expiration of the Term, Tenant shall, unless at such time there remains less than five
(5) years in the Term, restore the Property and/or Improvements whether or not the Taking
authority has made any Award or payment for such restoration and regardless of the amount of
any award or payment and in all other respects indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from the
effects of such Taking so that the Property and/or Improvements in every respect shall upon
completion of such restoration be in the same condition as they were prior to the taking thereof.
15.8.3 If possession of the Property shall revert to Landlord after expiration of
the Term, any sums deposited pursuant to this Section 15.8 shall be paid over to Landlord in
their entirety and without apportionment and Tenant shall be excused from its obligation to
restore the Property and/or Improvements.
15.8.4 Any Award or payment for damages or cost of restoration made on or
after the termination of this Lease shall be paid first to the Mortgagee, if any, to the extent of the
Mortgage, then to Landlord absolutely, together with the remaining balance of any other funds
paid to Tenant for such damages or cost of restoration and Tenant shall thereupon be excused
from any obligation to restore the Property and/or Improvements upon the termination of such
Temporary Taking except that any obligation that may have accrued for Tenant to restore the
Property and/or Improvements prior to the commencement of said Temporary Taking shall
continue to be the obligation of Tenant.
15.9 Mortgagee Protection. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the
contrary, any and all condemnation proceeds shall be paid first to the Mortgagee, if any, to be
applied to reduce the Mortgage if required by the mortgage documents.
ARTICLE 16. APPRAISAL
Whenever an appraisal of the Property is called for under the terms of this Lease, the
parties shall use the following procedure:
16.1 Appointment of Appraiser. Within ten (10) days after notice from Landlord to
Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint an MAI appraiser to participate in the appraisal
process provided for in this Article 16 and shall give written notice thereof to the other party.
Upon the failure of either party so to appoint, the nondefaulting party shall have the right to
apply to the Superior Court of the County of San Diego, California, to appoint an appraiser to
represent the defaulting party. Within ten (10) days of the parties' appointment, the two (2)
appraisers shall jointly appoint a third MAI appraiser and give written notice thereof to Landlord
and Tenant, or if within ten (10) days of the appointment of said appraisers the two (2) appraisers
shall fail to appoint a third, then either party hereto shall have the right to make application to
said Superior Court to appoint such third appraiser.
16.2 Determination of Fair Market Value.
16.2.1 Within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the third appraiser, the
appraisers shall determine the fair market value of the Property and the Improvements in
Page 34
accordance with the provisions hereof, and shall execute and acknowledge their determination of
fair market value in writing and cause a copy thereof to be delivered to each of the parties hereto.
16.2.2 The appraisers shall determine the fair market value of the Property and
the Improvements as of the date of Landlord's notice referred to in Section 16.1 above, based on
sales of comparable property in the area in which the Property is located. If, however, in the
judgment of a majority of the appraisers, no such comparable sales are available, then the
appraisal shall be based on the following assumptions: (i) that the Property is free and clear of
this Lease, the Improvements and all other improvements, and all easements and encumbrances;
and (ii) that the Property is available for immediate sale and development for the purposes and at
the density and intensity of development permitted under the zoning, subdivision and land use
planning ordinances and regulations applicable to the Property in effect on the Commencement
Date of this Lease, and any changes or amendments thereto or modification or variance from the
provisions thereof or conditional use permits which could reasonably be anticipated to have been
granted or approved as of the date of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, if the appraisal, for the particular purposes for which it is being done, should
reasonably reflect the rent restrictions imposed on the Property pursuant to Article 8 of this
Lease, and such other covenants, conditions and restrictions to which the Property is subject
pursuant to this Lease or to other documents recorded against the Property in the Official
Records of the County of San Diego, California, then such covenants, conditions and restrictions
shall be taken into consideration by the appraisers.
16.2.3 If a majority of the appraisers are unable to agree on fair market value
within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third appraiser, the three (3) appraisals shall be
added together and their total divided by three (3). The resulting quotient shall be the fair market
value of the Property and the Improvements. If, however, the low appraisal and/or high appraisal
is or are more than ten percent (10%) lower and/or higher than the middle appraisal, the low
and/or high appraisal shall be disregarded. If only one appraisal is disregarded, the remaining
two appraisals shall be added together and their total divided by two (2). The resulting quotient
shall be the fair market value of the Property and the Improvements. If both the low and high
appraisals are disregarded, the middle appraisal shall be the fair market value of the Property.
16.4 Payment of Fees. Each of the parties hereto shall (a) pay for the services of its
appointee, (b) pay one-half (1/2) of the fee charged by the appraiser selected by their appointees,
and (c) pay one-half (1/2) of all other proper costs of the appraisal.
ARTICLE 17. ASSIGNMENT/TRANSFER
17.1 Prohibition Against Transfer.
17.1.1 Prior to Recordation of the Certificate of Completion. Prior to
recordation of the Certificate of Completion, but subject to Article 19 pursuant to which Tenant
is permitted to sublease the Units for residential occupancy, Tenant shall not assign or attempt to
assign this Lease or any right herein (other than to a general or limited partnership of which
Tenant is the managing general partner) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which
consent may be withheld in Landlord's absolute discretion.
Page 35
17.1.2 Following Recordation of the Certificate of Completion. Following
recordation of the Certificate of Completion, but subject to Article 19 pursuant to which Tenant
is permitted to sublease the Units for residential occupancy, Tenant shall not assign or attempt to
assign this Lease or any right herein, nor make any total or partial sublease, sale, transfer,
conveyance or assignment of the whole or any part of the Property or the Improvements thereon,
without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
In the absence of specific written agreement by Landlord, no unauthorized sublease, sale,
transfer, conveyance or assignment of the Property, or any portion thereof, or approval thereof
by Landlord shall be deemed to relieve Tenant or any other party from any obligations under this
Lease.
17.1.3 Oualifications of Tenant. In connection with the above prohibition and
limitation on assignments, Tenant acknowledges that the qualifications, expertise and identities
of Tenant are of particular concern to Landlord, and that Landlord continues to rely on such
expertise to ensure the satisfactory completion of the construction and operation of the
Improvements on the Property. Tenant further recognizes that it is because of such qualifications
and identities that Landlord is entering into this Lease with Tenant. No voluntary or involuntary
successor in interest of Tenant shall acquire any rights or powers under this Lease except as
expressly set forth in the Lease.
17.1.4 Conditions. Tenant's right to make an assignment after the recordation of
the Certificate of Completion shall be subject to compliance with the following further
conditions:
(a) No Default. At the time of such assignment, this Lease shall be in full
force and effect and either no Event of Default (as deemed in Section 21.1) then exists or no
Event of Default will exist upon consummation of the assignment.
(b) Assumption. The assignee shall have executed an express assumption of
the obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this Lease from and after the date of delivery and
recording of the assignment and there shall have been delivered to Landlord at the time of the
request for such assignment a conformed copy of such assumption.
(c) Net Worth of Assignee. The assignee shall have a Net Worth equal to at
least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) ("Net Worth Minimum"), which Net Worth Minimum
shall be increased on the date that is five (5) years after the first day of the first calendar year
following the Commencement Date, and on the same date every fifth (5th) year thereafter ("Net
Worth Adjustment Date"), by an amount equal to the percentage change in construction industry
costs, from the first day of the calendar year following the Commencement Date until the
applicable Net Worth Adjustment Date, as published by the Engineering News Record, or such
similar construction industry index as the parties shall agree in the event such information is not
available in the Engineering News Record or such publication is no longer published. Net Worth
is to be evidenced by a statement of financial condition as of a date not more than three hundred
sixty (360) days prior to the date of assignment which is accompanied either by an opinion of a
certified or a chartered public accountant or by a certificate by the chief financial or accounting
Page 36
officer of the assignee that it fairly represents the fmancial condition of the assignee. In the
event Tenant agrees to remain liable under this Lease from and after the effective date of such
assignment and to guaranty the obligations of the assignee under this Lease, the Net Worth
Minimum standard set forth in this Section 17.1 shall not apply to such assignee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive Director, at her sole and absolute
discretion, shall be permitted to waive the Net Worth Minimum standard for a proposed assignee
that is (a) a California nonprofit, public benefit corporation, and (b) has demonstrated experience
and ability in owning, operating and managing similar affordable housing projects in the State of
California.
17.1.5 Assignment Agreement. No assignment of any interest in the Lease
made with Landlord's consent or as herein otherwise permitted shall be effective unless and until
there shall have been delivered to Landlord an executed counterpart of such assignment or other
transfer document containing an agreement, in recordable form, executed by the assignor and the
proposed assignee, wherein and whereby such assignee assumes due performance of the
obligations on the assignor's part to be performed under this Lease from the effective date of the
assignment to the end of the Term.
17.1.6 Further Assignments. The consent by Landlord to an assignment shall
not in any way be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express consent in writing of
Landlord to any further assignment if required by the terms of this Lease.
17.2 Terminable Upon Foreclosure. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Lease to the contrary, upon foreclosure of a Mortgage, or acceptance by a Mortgagee of an
assignment or deed in lieu of foreclosure, Article 17 of this Lease shall be terminable by the
purchaser at the foreclosure sale, or the assignee or grantee of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, by
notice to Landlord.
17.3 Other Rights of Mortgagees. Landlord agrees that none of the restrictions or
limitations on assignment or transfer by Tenant set forth in this Article 17 shall be construed to
limit or abrogate the rights of a Mortgagee to (a) seek the appointment of a receiver, or
(b) delegate or assign its rights under this Lease to any third party in connection with the exercise
of said Mortgagee's rights and remedies under its Mortgage.
17.4 Limitation on Transfer by Landlord. Landlord agrees, during the Compliance
Period, not to transfer its interest in the Property or under this Lease without the prior written
approval of the Tax Credit Partner; provided, however, no such approval shall be required for
such a transfer to another public body.
17.5 Transfer by Tax Credit Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations on
transfer and assignment, nothing herein shall limit or condition a transfer, sale, assignment or
other conveyance of all or a portion of the limited partner interests of the Tax Credit Partner to
any affiliate of the Tax Credit Partner, and the interests of the Tax Credit Partner shall be freely
transferable to any affiliate of the Tax Credit Partner without the consent or approval of but only
with prior, written notice to Landlord; provided however that in the event of non-payment of
Page 37
capital contribution obligations by the transferee pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
Tenant's Partnership Agreement, the Tax Credit Partner shall remain liable for the amount of
such unpaid capital contribution obligations. After all required capital contributions of the Tax
Credit Partner have been made to the Tenant, no consent shall be required for the transfer of all
or a portion of the interest of the Tax Credit Partner to any person or entity.
ARTICLE 18. MORTGAGES
18.1 Leasehold Mortgages
18.1.1 General Provisions. At all times during the Term, Tenant shall have the
right to mortgage, pledge, deed in trust, assign rents, issues and profits and/or collaterally (or
absolutely for purposes of security if required by any lender) assign its interest in this Lease, or
otherwise encumber this Lease, and/or the interest of Tenant hereunder, in whole or in part, and
any interests or rights appurtenant to this Lease, and to assign or pledge the same as security for
any debt (the holder of any such mortgage, pledge or other encumbrance, and the beneficiary of
any such deed of trust being hereafter referred to as "Mortgagee" and the mortgage, pledge, deed
of trust or other instrument hereafter referred to as "Mortgage"), upon and subject to each and all
of the following terms and conditions:
(a) Prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Completion, Mortgages entered
into by Tenant shall be limited in purpose to and shall not exceed the amount necessary and
appropriate to develop the Improvements, and to acquire and install equipment and fixtures
thereon. Said amount shall include all hard and soft costs of acquisition, development,
construction, lease -up and operation of the Improvements. After the recordation of the
Certificate of Completion, the limitation contained in this subsection shall no longer apply.
(b) Any permitted Mortgages entered into by Tenant are to be originated only
by lenders approved in writing by Landlord, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.
Landlord shall state the reasons for any such disapproval. Notwithstanding the forgoing,
Landlord shall be deemed to have automatically approved (i) a commercial or savings bank, a
trust company, an insurance company, a savings and loan association, a building and loan
association, an educational institution, a pension, retirement or welfare fund, or other fund
authorized to make loans in the State of California; (ii) any other entity having a net worth of
$50,000,000 or more whether or not a so-called institution, or any division, subsidiary, parent or
affiliate owned or controlled by, owning or in control of or in common control or ownership with
any entities described in (i) or (ii); or (iii) a lender regularly engaged in business in an office or
location in the State of California, or who has a registered agent for service of process in
California. In addition, any lender must be duly licensed or registered with any regulatory
agency having jurisdiction over its operation, if any; and any lender must not be under any order
or judgment of any court or administrative agency restricting or impairing its operation as a
lender where the restriction or impairment would be directly related to the proposed loan to
Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord hereby approves
the California Statewide Communities Development Authority and Senior Lender as the lenders
of the Construction Loan, including, without limitation, CCRC as the successor -in -interest to
Senior Lender from and after the Conversion Date. If the lender is other than as set forth in the
Page 38
immediately preceding sentence or a lender deemed automatically approved pursuant to
subdivisions (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section, then upon the reasonable request of Landlord, the
beneficial owners of lender must be disclosed to Landlord.
(c) All rights acquired by said Mortgagee shall be subject to each and all of
the covenants, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Lease, and to all rights of Landlord
thereunder, none of which covenants, conditions and restrictions is or shall be waived by
Landlord by reason of the giving of such Mortgage.
If Tenant encumbers its leasehold estate by way of a Mortgage as permitted
herein, and should Landlord be advised in writing of the name and address of the Mortgagee,
then this Lease shall not be terminated or canceled on account of any Event of Default by Tenant
in the performance of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof until Landlord shall have
complied with the provisions of Section 18.2 as to the Mortgagee's rights to cure and to obtain a
new lease.
18.1.2 Consent of Mortgagee Required. No cancellation, surrender,
termination, or modification of this Lease shall be effective without the written consent of the
holder of any Mortgage.
18.2 Rights and Obligations of Leasehold Mortgagees. If Tenant or Tenant's
successors or assigns shall mortgage the leasehold interest herein demised, then, as long as any
such Mortgage shall remain unsatisfied of record, the following provisions shall apply:
18.2.1 No Cancellation. Landlord will not cancel, accept a surrender of,
terminate or modify this Lease in the absence of a default by Tenant without the prior consent in
writing of the Mortgagee.
18.2.2 Notice of Defaults. Landlord agrees to give each Mortgagee immediate
notice of all defaults by Tenant under the Lease, and to simultaneously give to each Mortgagee a
written copy of all notices and demands that Landlord gives to Tenant. No notice or demand
under the Lease shall be effective until after notice is received by Mortgagee. Any notices of
default given by Landlord under the Lease shall describe the default(s) with reasonable detail.
Each Mortgagee shall have the right to cure any breach or default within the time periods given
below.
18.2.3 Mortgagee's Cure Rights.
(a) Notice and Cure. After receipt by Tenant of a notice of default under the
Lease and the expiration of any applicable period of cure given to Tenant under the Lease,
Landlord shall deliver an additional notice ("Mortgagee's Notice") to each Mortgagee specifying
the default and stating that Tenant's period of cure has expired. Each Mortgagee shall thereupon
have the additional periods of time to cure any uncured default, as set forth below, without
payment of default charges, fees, late charges or interest that might otherwise be payable by
Tenant. Landlord shall not terminate the Lease or exercise its other remedies under the Lease if:
Page 39
(i) Within ninety (90) days after Mortgagee's receipt of the Mortgagee's Notice, any
Mortgagee (i) cures the default, or (ii) if the default reasonably requires more than ninety (90)
days to cure, commences to cure said default within such ninety (90)-day period and thereafter
diligently prosecutes the same to completion; or
(ii) Where the default cannot be cured by payment or expenditure of money or
without possession of the Property or otherwise, Mortgagee initiates foreclosure or other
appropriate proceedings within ninety (90) days after receipt of the Mortgagee's Notice,
thereafter cures all other defaults reasonably capable of cure by the payment of money to
Landlord, and thereafter continues to pay all rents, real property taxes and assessments, and
insurance premiums to be paid by Tenant under the Lease. Mortgagee shall then have ninety
(90) days following the later to occur of (i) the date of execution and delivery of a new lease of
the Property pursuant to Section 18.2.4 of the Lease (a "New Lease"), or (ii) the date on which
Mortgagee or its nominee is able to occupy the Property following foreclosure under such
Mortgage and the eviction of or vacating by Tenant of the leased premises, to cure such default;
provided, however, that if any such default, by its nature, is such that it cannot practicably be
cured within ninety (90) days, then Mortgagee shall have such additional time as shall be
reasonably necessary to cure the default provided that Mortgagee commences such cure within
such ninety (90)-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the cure to completion.
(b) Landlord agrees to accept performance by Mortgagee of all cures,
conditions and covenants as though performed by Tenant, and agrees to permit Mortgagee access
to the Property to take all such actions as may be necessary or useful to perform any condition or
covenants of the Lease or to cure any default of Tenant. Mortgagee shall not be required to
perform any act or cure any default which is not reasonably susceptible to performance or cure
by Mortgagee.
(c) Mortgagee elects any of the above -mentioned options, then upon
Mortgagee's acquisition of the Lease by foreclosure, whether by power of sale or otherwise or by
deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or if a receiver be appointed, the Lease shall continue
in full force and effect, provided that, if Mortgagee elects the option provided in Section
18 .2.3(a)(ii) above, then upon Mortgagee's acquisition of the Lease, Mortgagee shall cure all
prior defaults of Tenant under the Lease that are reasonably capable of being cured by
Mortgagee within the time set forth in said Section, and Landlord shall treat Mortgagee as
Tenant under the Lease. If Mortgagee commences an action as set forth in Section 18.2.3(a)(ii)
above, and thereafter Tenant cures such defaults (which cure Landlord shall be obligated to
accept) and Mortgagee then terminates all proceedings under the option in said Section, then the
Lease shall remain in full force and effect between Landlord and Tenant.
18.2.4 New Lease. In the event the Lease is terminated for any reason prior to
the end of the Lease Term, Landlord shall promptly give Mortgagee written notice of such
termination and shall enter into a new lease ("New Lease") with Mortgagee or Mortgagee's
nominee covering the Property, provided that Mortgagee (a) requests such New Lease by written
notice to Landlord within sixty (60) days after Mortgagee's receipt of written notice by Landlord
of termination of the Lease, and (b) cures all prior defaults of Tenant that are reasonably capable
Page 40
of being cured by Mortgagee. The New Lease shall be for the remainder of the Lease Term,
effective at the date of such termination, and shall only include all the rents and all the
covenants, agreements, conditions, provisions, restrictions and limitations contained in the
Lease, except as otherwise provided in the Lease. In connection with a New Lease, Landlord
shall assign to Mortgagee or its nominee all of Landlord's interest in all existing subleases of all
or any part of the Property and all attornments given by the sublessees. Landlord shall not
terminate or agree to terminate any sublease or enter into any new lease or sublease for all or any
portion of the Property without Mortgagee's prior written consent, unless Mortgagee fails to
deliver its request for a New Lease under this Section. In connection with any such New Lease,
Landlord shall, by grant deed, convey to Mortgagee or its nominee title to the Improvements, if
any, which become vested in Landlord as a result of termination of the Lease. Landlord shall
allow to the tenant under the New Lease a credit against rent equal to the net income derived by
Landlord from the Property during the period from the date of termination of the Lease until the
date of execution of the New Lease under this Section.
18.2.5 Security Deposits. Mortgagee or any other purchaser at a foreclosure sale
of the Mortgage (or Mortgagee or its nominee if one of them enters into a New Lease with
Landlord) shall succeed to all the interest of Tenant in any security or other deposits or other
impound payments paid by Tenant to Landlord.
18.2.6 Permitted Delays. So long as Mortgagee is prevented by any process or
injunction issued by any court or by any statutory stay, or by reason of any action by any court
having jurisdiction of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving Tenant or any other
person, from commencing or prosecuting foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings in the
nature thereof, Mortgagee shall not be deemed for that reason to have failed to commence such
proceedings or to have failed to diligently prosecute such proceedings, provided that Mortgagee
uses reasonable efforts to contest and appeal the issuance or continuance of any such process,
stay or injunction.
18.2.7 Defaults Deemed Cured. On transfer of the Lease at any foreclosure sale
under the Mortgage or by deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or upon creation of a New
Lease, any or all of the following defaults relating to the prior owner of the Lease shall be
deemed cured:
(a) Attachment, execution or other judicial levy upon the Lease;
(b)
the prior Tenant;
the Lease;
Assignment of the Lease for the direct or indirect benefit of creditors of
(c) Judicial appointment of a receiver or similar officer to take possession of
(d) Filing any petition by, for or against Tenant under any chapter of the
federal Bankruptcy Act or any federal or state debtor relief statute, as amended;
Page 41
(e) Any failure by Tenant to make a disclosure of a hazardous substance
release as required by the California Health and Safety Code, the Lease or otherwise; and
(f) Any other defaults personal to Tenant and/or not otherwise reasonably
curable by Mortgagee.
18.2.8 Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions
of this Section shall inure only to the benefit of the holders of Mortgages. If the holders of more
than one such Mortgage shall make written requests upon Landlord in accordance with this
Lease, the new lease (as provided for in subsection 18.2.4 above) shall be entered into pursuant
to the request of the holder whose Mortgage shall be prior in lien thereto and thereupon the
written requests for a new lease of each holder of a Mortgage junior in lien shall be and be
deemed to be void and of no force or effect.
18.3 Landlord's Forbearance and Right to Cure Defaults on Leasehold Mortgages
18.3.1 Notice. Landlord will give to Mortgagee, at such address as is specified
by the Mortgagee in accordance with Section 26.1 hereof, a copy of each notice or other
communication with respect to any claim that a default exists or is about to exist from Landlord
to Tenant hereunder at the time of giving such notice or communication to Tenant, and Landlord
will give to Mortgagee a copy of each notice of any rejection of this Lease by any trustee in
bankruptcy of Tenant. Landlord will not exercise any right, power or remedy with respect to any
Event of Default hereunder, and no notice to Tenant of any such Event of Default and no
termination of this Lease in connection therewith shall be effective, unless Landlord has given to
Mortgagee written notice or a copy of its notice to Tenant of such Event of Default or any such
termination, as the case may be.
18.3.2 Mortgagee's Transferees, Etc. In the event the leasehold estate
hereunder shall be acquired by foreclosure, trustee's sale or deed or assignment in lieu of
foreclosure of a Mortgage, the purchaser at such sale or the transferee by such assignment and its
successors as holders of the leasehold estate hereunder shall not be liable for any Rent, if any, or
other obligations accruing after its or their subsequent sale or transfer of such leasehold estate
and such purchaser or transferee and its successors shall be entitled to transfer such estate or
interest without consent or approval of Landlord; provided that, the purchaser or transferee or
successor as holder of the leasehold estate hereunder shall be liable for the payment of all Rent,
if any, becoming due with respect to the period during which such purchaser, transferee or other
successor is the holder of the leasehold estate hereunder. This Section shall also apply to the
rights of a Mortgagee in connection with the entry into a new lease under Section 18.2.4 and to
the appointment of a receiver on behalf of a Mortgagee.
18.3.3 Insurance and Condemnation. In the event of any casualty to, or
condemnation of, all or any part of the leased premises or any improvements now or hereafter
located thereon, the provisions of the Mortgages relating thereto shall prevail over any provisions
of this Lease relating thereto.
Page 42
18.4 No Liability of Mortgagee for Prior Indemnified Acts. A Mortgagee shall not
be obligated to assume the liability of Tenant for any indemnities arising for a period prior to
Mortgagee's acquiring the right to possession of the Property under this Lease.
18.5 Landlord Cooperation. Landlord covenants and agrees that it will act and fully
cooperate with Tenant in connection with Tenant's right to grant leasehold mortgages as
hereinabove provided. At the request of Tenant or any proposed or existing Mortgagee,
Landlord shall promptly execute and deliver (i) any documents or instruments reasonably
requested to evidence, acknowledge and/or perfect the rights of Mortgagees as herein provided;
and (ii) an estoppel certificate certifying the status of this Lease and Tenant's interest herein and
such matters as are reasonably requested by Tenant or such Mortgagees. Such estoppel
certificate shall include, but not be limited to, certification by Landlord that (a) this Lease is
unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, state the nature of such modification and
certify that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect), (b) all rents currently due under
the Lease have been paid, (c) there are not, to Landlord's knowledge, any uncured Events of
Default on the part of Tenant under the Lease or facts, acts or omissions which with the giving of
notice or passing of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default. Any such estoppel
certificate may be conclusively relied upon by any proposed or existing leasehold Mortgagee or
assignee of Tenant's interest in this Lease.
18.6 Priority. The Lease, and any extensions, renewals or replacements thereof, and
any sublease entered into by Tenant as sublessor, and any Mortgage or other encumbrance
recorded by any Mortgagee shall be superior to any mortgages, deeds of trust or similar
encumbrances placed by Landlord on the Property and to any lien right, if any, of Landlord on
the buildings, and any furniture, fixtures, equipment or other personal property of Tenant upon
the Property or any interest of Landlord in sublease rentals or similar agreements.
18.7 Claims. Landlord and Tenant shall deliver to Mortgagee notice of any litigation
or arbitration proceedings between the parties or involving the Property or the Lease. Mortgagee
shall have the right, at its option, to intervene and become a party to any such proceedings. If
Mortgagee elects not to intervene or become a party, Landlord shall deliver to Mortgagee prompt
notice of and a copy of any award, decision or settlement agreement made in connection with
any such proceeding.
18.8 Further Amendments. Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate in including in the
Lease by suitable amendment from time to time any provision which may be reasonably
requested by any proposed Mortgagee for the purpose of implementing the mortgagee protection
provisions contained in this Lease and allowing that Mortgagee reasonable means to protect or
preserve the lien of its Mortgage upon the occurrence of a default under the terms of the Lease.
Landlord and Tenant each agree to execute and deliver (and to acknowledge for recording
purposes, if necessary) any agreement required to effect any such amendment.
Page 43
ARTICLE 19. SUBLEASING
19.1 Subleasing of Property. All subleases ("Subleases") made by Tenant shall be
subject to the following provisions and restrictions:
19.1.1 Tenant may, without the consent of Landlord, let individual units of the
Improvements to any person who qualifies.
19.1.2 Each Sublease shall contain a provision, satisfactory to Landlord,
requiring the Subtenant to attorn to Landlord upon (a) an Event of Default by Tenant under this
Lease, and (b) receipt by such Subtenant of written notice of such Event of Default and
instructions to make such Subtenant's rental payments to Landlord.
19.1.3 On any termination of this Lease prior to the expiration of the Term, all of
Tenant's interest as sublessor under any and all existing valid and enforceable Subleases for
which Landlord has issued a non -disturbance agreement shall be deemed automatically assigned,
transferred and conveyed to Landlord and subtenants under such Subleases shall be deemed to
have attorned to Landlord. Landlord shall thereafter be bound on such Subleases to the same
extent Tenant, as sublessor, was bound thereunder and Landlord shall have all the rights under
such Subleases that Tenant, as sublessor, had under such Subleases; provided, however, that any
amendments to any such Sublease made after the issuance of a non -disturbance agreement to a
subtenant shall not be binding on Landlord.
19.1.4 Any subtenant qualifying shall, upon written request, receive a non -
disturbance agreement from Landlord.
19.1.5 Not later than thirty (30) days after each anniversary of the date of
commencement of the term of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a current list of the
name and mailing address of each Subtenant.
19.1.6 Tenant shall not accept, directly or indirectly, more than two (2) months
prepaid rent plus a reasonable security deposit from any subtenant.

contrary, all attornment provisions applicable to the Landlord shall also be applicable to a
Mortgagee and, as between Landlord and Mortgagee, the Mortgagee shall have priority in any
attornment situation.
Page 44
ARTICLE 20. PERFORMANCE OF TENANT'S COVENANTS
20.1 Right of Performance. If Tenant shall at any time fail to pay any Imposition or
other charge in accordance with Article 4 hereof, within the time period therein permitted, or
shall fail to pay for or maintain any of the insurance policies provided for in Article 9 hereof,
within the time therein permitted, or to make any other payment or perform any other act on its
part to be made or performed hereunder, within the time permitted by this Lease, then Landlord,
after thirty (30) days' written notice to Tenant (or, in case of an emergency, on such notice, or
without notice, as may be reasonable under the circumstances) and without waiving or releasing
Tenant from any obligation of Tenant hereunder, may (but shall not be required to):
(a) pay such Imposition or other charge payable by Tenant pursuant to the
provisions of Article 4 hereof, or
(b) pay for and maintain such insurance policies provided for in Article 9
hereof, or
(c) make such other payment or perform such other act on Tenant's part to be
made or performed as in this Lease provided.
20.1.1 Rights of Mortgagees. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease
to the contrary, all of the performance rights available to Landlord under Section 20.1 shall also
be available to Mortgagee and, as between Landlord and Mortgagee, the rights of the Mortgagee
shall take precedence over the rights of Landlord.
20.2 Reimbursement and Damages. All sums so paid by Landlord and all costs and
expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the performance of any such act, together with
interest thereon at the rate provided in Section 4.5 from the respective dates of Landlord's
making of each such payment or incurring of each such cost or expense, shall be paid by Tenant
to Landlord on demand. Landlord shall not be limited in the proof of any damages which
Landlord may claim against Tenant arising out of or by reason of Tenant's failure to provide and
keep in force insurance as aforesaid, to the amount of the insurance premium or premiums not
paid or incurred by Tenant and which would have been payable upon such insurance, but
Landlord shall also be entitled to recover as damages for such breach, the uninsured amount of
any loss (to the extent of any deficiency in the insurance required by the provisions of this
Lease), damages, costs and expenses of suit, including attorneys' fees, suffered or incurred by
reason of damage to, or destruction of, the Improvements, occurring during any period in which
Tenant shall have failed or neglected to provide insurance as aforesaid.

ARTICLE 21. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES
21.2 Events of Default. Any one or all of the following events shall constitute an
Event of Default hereunder:

under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal or state law; or the
appointment of or taking possession by any receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or
other similar official of Tenant or any Assignee (unless such appointment is in connection with a
Mortgagee's exercise of its remedies under its Mortgage), or of any substantial part of the
property of Tenant or such Assignee, or the ordering or winding up or liquidating of the affairs of
Tenant or any Assignee and the continuance of such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a
period of ninety (90) days or more (whether or not consecutive); or the commencement by
Tenant or any such Assignee of a voluntary proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or
any other applicable state or federal law or consent by Tenant or any such Assignee to the entry
of any order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or consent by Tenant or any
such Assignee to the appointment of or taking of possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of Tenant or any such Assignee, or of any
substantial property of any of the foregoing, or the making by Tenant or any such Assignee of
any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or Tenant or any such Assignee takes any
other voluntary action related to the business of Tenant or any such Assignee or the winding up
of the affairs of any of the foregoing.
21.1.4 If Tenant shall default in the performance of or compliance with any other
term, covenant or condition of this Lease (other than as set forth in Paragraph 21.1.1 of this
Section 21.1) and such default shall continue for more than thirty (30) days after Landlord shall
have given written notice thereof to Tenant, provided, however, if cure of such default
reasonably requires more than thirty (30) days, then, provided that Tenant commences to cure
within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and continuously prosecutes the cure
to completion, Tenant shall not be in default during the cure period.
21.2 Remedies.
21.2.1 If an Event of Default shall occur and continue as aforesaid, then in
addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the
immediate option to terminate this Lease and bring suit against Tenant or submit the issue of
Page 46
Tenant's default to arbitration as provided in Article 23 and recover as an award in such suit or
arbitration proceeding the following:
(a) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent and all other sums due
hereunder 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 and
all other sums due hereunder which would have been earned after termination until the time of
award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably
avoided;
(c) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent and
all other sums due hereunder for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the
amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided;
(d) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment
proximately caused by the Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which
in the ordinary course of things could be likely to result therefrom; and
(e) such amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted
from time to time by applicable California law.
21.2.2 The "worth at the time of the award" of the amounts referred to in
Subparagraphs 21.2.1(a) and 21.2.1(b) above shall be computed by allowing interest at the rate
provided in Section 4.5 as of the date of the award. The "worth at the time of award" of the
amount referred to in subparagraph 21.2.1(c) above shall be computed by discounting such
amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award
plus one percent (1%).
21.2.3 If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord shall also have the right, with or
without terminating this Lease, but subject to any nondisturbance agreements entered into with
Subtenants, to reenter the Property and remove all persons and property from the Property; such
property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the
account of Tenant.
21.2.4 If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord shall also have the right, with or
without terminating this Lease, to relet the Property. If Landlord so elects to exercise its right to
relet the Property but without terminating this Lease, then rentals received by Landlord from
such reletting shall be applied: First, to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due

ARTICLE 24. FORCE MAJEURE
24.1 Subject to Paragraph 24.2 below, any prevention, delay, nonperformance or
stoppage by Tenant due to any of the following causes shall be excused: any regulation, order,
act, restriction or requirement or limitation imposed by any federal, state, municipal or foreign
government or any department or agency thereof, or civil or military authority; acts of God; acts
or omissions of Landlord or its agents or employees; fire; explosion; floods and/or earthquakes;

by Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also pay to
Landlord, as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such reletting
or in making alterations and repairs not covered by the rentals received from such reletting.
21.2.5 No reentry or taking possession of the Property by Landlord pursuant to
Paragraphs 21.2.3 or 21.2.4 shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a
written notice of such intention is given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof is decreed by
a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by Tenant
because of any default by Tenant, Landlord may at any time after such reletting elect to
terminate this Lease for any such default.
21.3 Receipt of Rent, No Waiver of Default. The receipt by Landlord of the rents or
any other charges due to Landlord, with knowledge of any breach of this Lease by Tenant or of
any default on the part of Tenant in the observance or performance of any of the conditions or
covenants of this Lease, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any provisions of this Lease. No
acceptance by Landlord of a lesser sum than the rents or any other charges then due shall be
deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment of the rents or other charges due,
nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or
payment of rent or charges due be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept
such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such
installment or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. The receipt by Landlord of any
rent or any other sum of money or any other consideration paid by Tenant after the termination
of this Lease, or after giving by Landlord of any notice hereunder to effect such termination,
shall not, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, reinstate, continue, or extend the
term of this Lease, or destroy, or in any manner impair the efficacy of any such notice of
termination as may have been given hereunder by Landlord to Tenant prior to the receipt of any
such sum of money or other consideration, unless so agreed to in writing and signed by
Landlord. Neither acceptance of the keys nor any other act or thing done by Landlord or by its
agents or employees during the Term shall be deemed to be an acceptance of a surrender of the
Property or the Improvements, excepting only an agreement in writing signed by Landlord
accepting or agreeing to accept such a surrender.
21.4 Effect on Indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in
this Article 21 shall be construed to limit the Indemnitees' right to indemnification as otherwise
provided in this Lease.
21.5 Limited Waiver of Right to Terminate Lease. Landlord hereby waives it right
to terminate this Lease during the Compliance Period for a default by Tenant other than the
failure to pay Annual Rent. That notwithstanding, Landlord, during the Compliance Period, shall
retain all other rights and remedies available hereunder or by law for such a non -monetary
default, including, without limitation, an action to compel performance of the covenant or
condition that is the subject of the alleged default.
Page 48
ARTICLE 22. PERMITTED CONTESTS
Tenant, at no cost or expense to Landlord, may contest (after prior written notice to
Landlord), by appropriate legal proceedings conducted with due diligence, the amount or validity
or application, in whole or in part, of any Imposition or lien or any Legal Requirement or
Insurance Requirement, provided that (a) in the case of liens of mechanics, materialmen,
suppliers or vendors, or Impositions or liens therefor, such proceedings shall suspend the
collection thereof from Landlord, and shall suspend a foreclosure against the Property and/or the
Improvements, or any interest therein, or any Rent, if any, (b) neither the Property or the
Improvements, nor any part thereof or interest therein, or the Rent, if any, or any portion thereof,
would be in any danger of being sold, forfeited or lost by reason of such proceedings, (c) in the
case of a Legal Requirement, Landlord would not be in any danger of any criminal liability or,
unless Tenant shall have furnished a bond or other security therefor satisfactory to Landlord, any
additional civil liability for failure to comply therewith and the Property and the Improvements
would not be subject to the imposition of any lien as a result of such failure, and (d) Tenant shall
have furnished to Landlord, if requested, a bond or other security, satisfactory to Landlord. If
Tenant shall fail to contest any such matters, or to give Landlord security as hereinabove
provided, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, contest the matter or settle or compromise
the same without inquiring into the validity or the reasonableness thereof. Landlord, at the sole
cost and expense of Tenant, will cooperate with Tenant and execute any documents or pleadings
legally required for any such contest.
