above, or
(2) An amount, equal to two and one half percent (2-

monthly. The actual sales value shall be the total value of the
transfer, as established by the Assessor of Orange County or
verified by lessor. The parties to said transaction shall furnish
Lessor with any information regarding the transaction as Lessor
may deem necessary to verify the total value of the transaction.
If said transfer transaction cannot be verified by normal and
accepted methods of verification, Lessor, at its sole discretion,
may cause the leasehold estate and improvements thereon to be
appraised to establish the fair market value of the property,
which value shall be deemed the actual sales value thereof, as of
the date of transfer, and establish thereby the adjusted base
rental. The adjusted base rental shall become effective on the
date of transfer.

adjustment of rentals if:

Encumbrancer holds title to the leasehold.
D. Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a complete copy of the
Trust Deed and Note secured thereby, together with the name and
address of the holder thereof.
E. Upon and immediately after the recording of the Trust
Deed, Lessee, at Lessee's expense, shall cause to be recorded in
the office of the Recorder of Orange County, California, a written
request executed and acknowledged by lessor for a copy of any
notice of default and of any notice of sale under the Trust Deed

equal to the sum of the following:
9
(a) The fair market value of the Leased
Land as improved (exclusive of the dwelling and appurtenances to
such dwelling) as of the date of taking, discounted by multiplying
such fair market value by the factor for the present worth of
$1.00 at 9% per annum compound interest for the number of years
remaining from the date of taking to the date of the expiration of
the term of this Lease; and
(b) The present worth of rents due during
the period from the date of taking to the date of the expiration
of the term of this Lease, computed by multiplying the annual rent
then payable by the factor for the present worth of $1.00 per
annum at 12% per annum compound interest (Inwood Coefficient) for
the number of years in such period.
(2) The Lessee shall be entitled to the amount
remaining of the total award after deducting therefrom the sums to
be paid to Lessor as hereinafter provided.
D. Allocation of Award - Partial Taking. All
compensation and damages awarded for the taking of a portion of
the Leased Land shall be allocated and divided as follows:
(1) The Lessor shall be entitled to an amount
equal to the sum of the following:
(a) The proportionate reduction of the
fair market value of the Leased Land as improved (exclusive of the
dwelling and appurtenances to such dwelling) as of the date of
taking, discounted by multiplying such proportionate reduction in
fair market value by the factor for the present worth of $1.00 at
9% per annum compound interest for the number of years remaining
from the date of taking to the date of expiration of the term of
this Lease; and
(b) The present worth of the amount by
which the rent is reduced computed by multiplying the amount by
which the annual rent is reduced by the factor for the present
worth of $1.00 perm annum at 12% per annum compound interest

date of taking to the date of expiration of the term of this
Lease.

remaining of the total award after deducting therefrom the sums to
be paid to Lessor as hereinafter provided.

a partial taking, the rent payable by Lessee hereunder shall be
adjusted from the date of taking or to the date of the expiration
of the term of this Lease. Such rental adjustment will be made by
reducing the basic rental payable by Lessee in the ratio that the
fair market rental value of the Leased Land at the date of taking
bears to the fair market value of the Leased Land immediately
thereafter.
15. ATTORNEYS' FEES. Should either Lessor or Lessee be
required to employ counsel to enforce the terms, conditions and
covenants of this Lease Agreement, the prevailing party shall
recover all reasonable attorneys' fees (and court costs if
applicable) incurred therein, whether or not court proceedings
were commenced.
16. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The rights, powers, elections and
remedies of the Lessor contained in this Lease shall be
constructed as cumulative and no one of them shall be considered
exclusive of the other or exclusive of any rights or remedies
allowed by law, and the exercise of one or more rights, powers,
elections or remedies shall not impair or be deemed a waiver of
Lessor's rights to exercise any other.
0
17. NO WAIVER. No delay or omission of the Lessor to exercise
any right or power arising from any omission, neglect or default
of the Lessee shall impair any such right or power or shall be
construed as a waiver of any such omission, neglect or default on
the part of the Lessor or any acquiescence therein.
No waiver of any breach of any of the terms, covenants,
agreements, restrictions or conditions of this Lease shall be
construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or of
any of the terms, covenants, agreements, restrictions or
conditions of this Lease.
18. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Lessee covenants and agrees to
comply with all rules, regulations, statutes, ordinances and laws
of the State of California, County of Orange, City of Newport
