their employees, sublessees, licensees, agents, service
suppliers, customers and patrons (invitees), now and
hereafter existing, upon however the conditions, pre-

- 8 - 4
Landlord reserves and shall have the right to
make and promulgate, and change from time to time,
reasonable rules and regulations for, governing, limit-
ing and restricting the use and the right to use the
common area, including the Licensed Area, and the
License granted to City, provided that such rules and
regulations are consistent with the License granted to
the City hereunder.
Landlord at all times during the term and
existence of the License shall have the sole and
exclusive control of the common area, including the
Licensed Area, and may at any time and from time to
time exclude, restrain or limit any person from the use
or occupancy thereof, excepting only, however, City and
City's Permittees engaged in the bona fide use of the
same in accordance with this License, and in accordance
with the said rules and regulations.
City shall comply and shall cause City's
Permittees, and each and every and all thereof, to
comply with the said rules and regulations and cooperate
with Landlord and all other tenants, now and hereafter,
of the business center to the end: that the common area
be used and maintained in a uniform, clean and efficient
manner; and be kept free and clear of any and all
obstructions created or permitted by City or City's
bo
Permittees or resulting from City's operations or the
operations or activities of any of the foregoing; and
that said common area, including the Licensed Area, be
used to its highest, best and beneficial use by and for
all of the tenants now and hereafter of the business
center.
If, in the opinion of Landlord, City or City's

demand of Landlord, shall take appropriate action and
proceedings to remove or restrain all such unauthorized
persons or prevent all such unauthorized uses. Nothing
herein shall affect the right of Landlord at any time to
remove or restrain such unauthorized persons or to
prevent the common area, including the Licensed Area,
from being used in an unauthorized manner.
4. Contribution by City. City shall pay
Landlord for the "License to Use" the common area, for
each calendar year during the term of the License, a sum
arrived at by multiplying the total operating cost of
the common area for said year by a fraction having as
its numerator the "floor area" of the Premises and as
its denominator the total "floor area" of the business
- 10 -
center plus that of the Premises, which sum shall be
payable as follows:
(a) On the first day of each and every
calendar month during the term of this License, City
shall pay Landlord on account of City's proportionate
share of the operating costs of the common area, the sum
of One Hundred Sixty Dollars ($160.00). Landlord may
adjust the amount of such monthly installments at the
end of any calendar year, on the basis of Landlord's
experience during such year, as reasonably anticipated
common area operating costs, provided, however, that
City shall not be required to pay in any calendar year
monthly installments greater than one - twelfth (1/12) of
City's proportionate share of the common area operating
costs for the calendar year just completed increased by
fifteen per cent (15 %).
(b) Within ten (10) days after receipt of
Landlord's annual statement (as provided in Paragraph 5
hereinafter), City shall pay Landlord the deficiency, if
any, shown on said annual statement, between City's
proportionate share of the total operating cost for the
year just completed and the actual payments made by the
City to Landlord pursuant to (a) above. If said annual
statement shows that City's payments pursuant to (a)
above exceed City's proportionate share of said oper-
- 11 -
ating cost, Landlord shall refund such excess therewith,
or, at Landlord's option, credit such excess against
payments next thereafter to become due Landlord from
City under (a) above.
If City defaults in making any payments
required hereunder, Landlord may, in addition to any
other remedies hereunder or as provided by law or in
equity, deny City and City's Permittees the right to use
any part or all of the common area and may withhold all
privileges herein granted so long as City remains in
such default. City shall be liable only for City's
proportionate share of the operating costs of the common
area and shall not be liable for the share of any
business center tenant with respect thereto. In the
event of any vacant space arising after completion of
any store building and the initial occupancy of such
space by a business center tenant, Landlord shall, to
the extent that any of the common area is allocable to
said vacant space, bear the portion of the operating
costs allocable to such vacant space during the period
of such vacancy. If such vacancy is for less than a
calendar year, Landlord's obligations in this regard
shall be adjusted pro rata.
5. Landlord's Annual Statement and Records.
Within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of each
- 12 _
calendar year, Landlord shall furnish City with a
statement, certified as correct by an authorized employ-
ee of Landlord, showing, for the calendar year just
completed, the total operating cost of the common area,
the amount of City's proportionate share of said operat-
ing cost and the monthly payments made by City pursuant
to Paragraph 4(a) above. The deficiency or excess shown
on said statement with regard to City's obligations to
contribute its proportionate share of the operating cost
of the common area shall be adjusted in accordance with
the provisions of Paragraph 4(b) above. Landlord shall
keep a separate account covering the operating cost of
the common area, and the statements to City required
herein shall accurately reflect said operating cost.
Said account records of Landlord shall be retained and
preserved for a period of at least 12 months after the
expiration of each calendar year to which they apply.
6. Public Liability Insurance. Landlord
shall procure and maintain a policy of comprehensive
public liability insurance with limits of not less than
$200,000.00 as to any one person, and $500,000.00 as to
any one accident, and $50,000.00 as to property damage.
The insurer thereof shall be an insurance company or
companies, qualified to issue such policies within the
State of California. The insureds thereunder shall be
Landlord and City and each, every and all of the
- 13 - t
tenants now and hereafter of the business center.
Landlord shall, upon request of City supply or cause it
to be supplied with a certificate of said insurance.
As long as Landlord procures and maintains the
aforedescribed policy of comprehensive public liability
insurance, Landlord shall have no further or other
obligation or liability or duty to City by reason of any
claim or demand or obligation or liability or cause or
cause of action asserted or claimed or filed or main-
tained by any user, authorized or not, of the common
area, including, by way of specification and not limit-
ation, any of City's Permittees. City does hereby waive
and release and discharge Landlord of and from any and
every obligation, liability or duty which it may at any
time hereafter assert with respect to any such claim or
demand or obligation or liability including any rights
under Civil Code Section 1542.
7. Rights Reserved to Landlord. In addition
to all other rights herein reserved to Landlord, Land-
lord has and shall have the right in Landlord's sole and
absolute discretion to:
(a) Determine the nature, size, extent
and location of the common area; whether the same shall
be surface, underground and /or multi -deck; to at any
- 14 -
time and from time to time, make such changes in the

but not limited to, the locating and relocating of
driveways, entrances, exits, the direction and flow of
traffic, number of vehicle parking spaces, the instal-
lation of prohibited areas and other changes to the
parking area and common area in general. The common

illustrative in nature. It was, is and shall not be a
representation or agreement of or as to nor constitute a
permanent delineation of the common area. The common

ance herewith. Portions thereof may be used for addi-
tional store buildings or other structures or for any

regulations herein provided shall include, without being
limited to, the hours which the common area shall be
open for use. City shall conform to and abide by all
such rules and regulations in its use, and the use of
City's Permittees, provided however, that all such rules
and regulations and other matters affecting City's
Permittees (other than any such rules or regulations
enforcing the confinement of City's Permittees to the
Licensed Area) shall apply equally without discretion to
all persons entitled to use the common area. City shall
be deemed to have agreed to any such rules and regul-
ations when a copy thereof is mailed to City in accord-
ance with the procedure for mailing notices; and
(c) To designate at any time and from time to
time, by written notice to City certain parts or sec-
tions within the common area, or other available areas

common area) for use as parking space by City and City's
Permittees. In that event, City shall require such
persons to use only such designated space. It is
further understood and agreed that should it become
necessary, at Landlord's sole and absolute discretion,
to have the persons specified herein park in some area
outside the common area, Landlord shall have the right
- 16 - n'�
to charge all of said persons a nominal charge for such
parking; provided, however, that the charge made to said
persons shall be equal to the charge made to the employ-
ees of Landlord and of all other business center
tenants.

ing conditions are met:
