separately metered from the City's Frances Stevens Park.

3.9 Security Deposit. Tenant has previously paid $500.00 deposit as part of the
original Lease dated October 1, 1995. Said sum shall be held by Landlord as security for the
faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be
kept and performed by Tenant during the term hereof. If Tenant defaults with respect to any
provisions of this Lease, including but not limited to the provisions relating to the payment of rent,

default. If any portion of said deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after

interests hereunder) at the expiration of the Lease term, provided that Landlord may retain the
Security Deposit until such time as any amount due from Tenant in accordance with Paragraph 5
hereof has been determined and paid in full. Should Landlord sell its interest in the Premises
during the term hereof and if Landlord deposits with the purchaser thereof the then unappropriated
funds deposited by Tenant as aforesaid, thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further
liability with respect to such Security Deposit. Nothing contained in this Section shall in any way
diminish or be construed as waiving any of the Landlord's other remedies as provided in Section
10.0 hereof, or by law or in equity.
3.10 Late Payment. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant
to Landlord of rental or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not
contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult to ascertain. Such
costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges. Accordingly, any
payment of any sum to be paid by Tenant not paid within five (5) days of its due date shall be
4
Desert Art Center Lease
550 North Palm Canyon Drive
55575.00001\32077669.3
subject to a five percent (5%) late charge. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge
represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to Landlord
for its loss suffered by such late payment by Tenant. Sixty (60) days before the anniversary date
each year the City shall notify the Tenant of any outstanding delinquency, which must be cured
prior to the anniversary date or the City may exercise its right of termination under Section 2.2
and terminate the lease.

the Premises shall be deemed to be abandoned, at the option of Landlord, except such property as

7.2 Surrender of Lease. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant
or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and shall, at the option of Landlord,
terminate all or any existing subleases or sub-tenancies, or may, at the option of Landlord, operate

8.0 DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES. In the event of(a) partial or
total destruction of the Premises during the term of this Lease, which requires repairs to the
Premises, or(b) the Premises being declared unsafe or unfit for occupancy by any authorized public

12
Desert Art Center Lease
550 North Palm Canyon Drive
55575.00001\32077669.3
sublease to a proposed assignee or sub-lessee, and Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be
unreasonable for doing so, unless all the following criteria are met: (a) The proposed assignee's or
sub-lessee's general financial condition, including liquidity and net worth, verified by audited
financial statements prepared by a Certified Public Accountant in conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles is equal to or greater than that of Tenant; (b)the proposed assignee
or sub-lessee has a demonstrated merchandising capability equal to or greater than that of Tenant as
to the use for which the Premises are leased; (c) the proposed assignee or sub-lessee is morally and
financially responsible; (d) the failure of tenant's use of the Premises to fit the business plan of
Landlord to promote tourism to the City of Palm Springs; and (e) the proposed assignee or
subtenant is exempt from federal income taxation pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Sections
501(c) (1) and/or 501(c) (3) and the proposed assignee's or subtenant's proposed use of the
Premises is a tax exempt function. Any such assignment shall be subject to all of the terms and
conditions of this Lease and the proposed assignee shall assume the obligations of Tenant under
this Lease in writing in form satisfactory to Landlord. The proposed assignee shall simultaneously
provide to Landlord an estoppel certificate in the form described in Exhibit 'F" hereafter. Consent
by Landlord to one assignment, subletting, occupation or use by another person shall not be
deemed to be consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, occupation or use by another
person. Any assignment or subletting without the prior written consent of Landlord shall be void,

consent to such assignment together with audited financial statements of Tenant and the proposed
assignee, a history of the proposed assignee's business experience and such other information as
required by Landlord to verify that the criteria for assignment, as set forth herein are met. If
Landlord approves such assignment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-half (1/2) of any
consideration received by Tenant for such assignment.
10.0 CURE AND REMEDIES.
10.1 Default by Tenant. In addition to the defaults described in Section 9.0
hereinabove, the occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default
and breach of this Lease by Tenant: (a) the failure to pay any rent or other payment required
hereunder to or on behalf of Landlord more than three (3) days after written notice from Landlord
to Tenant that Tenant has failed to pay rent when due; (b) the vacation or abandonment of the
Premises by Tenant. Landlord may, at its discretion, allow Tenant to cure any defaults within sixty
(60) days or any other agreed upon terms (in writing) without waiving any future right to terminate
the lease for any other breach of the lease.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the breach of this Lease by Tenant, or an
abandonment of the Premises by Tenant, shall constitute a termination of this Lease, and Tenant
shall not be entitled to any reimbursement of the Security Deposit.
13
Desert Art Center Lease
550 North Palm Canyon Drive
55575.00001\32077669.3
10.2 No Waiver. Acceptance of rental payment shall not be deemed a waiver of
any default or a waiver of any of Landlord's remedies.
10.3 In the event of any such default by Tenant, 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 all rights of Tenant hereunder. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this
Lease then Landlord may recover from Tenant:
(a) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned
at the time of such termination; plus
(b) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent
which would have been reasonably earned after termination until the time of
award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have
been reasonably avoided;plus
(c) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent 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; plus
(d) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment
proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this
Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result
therefrom.
As used in Subparagraphs 10.3 (a) and (b) above, the "worth at the time of
award" is computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate permitted by law per annum. As used
in Subparagraph 10.3(c) above, the "worth at the time of award" is 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%).
10.4 In the event of any such default by Tenant, Landlord shall also have the right,
with or without terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Premises and remove all
persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed and stored in
a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant. No re-
entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this
Subparagraph 10.4 shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a
written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof
be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
10.5. Landlord shall also have the remedy described in California Civil Code
Section 1951.4 (i.e., the right to continue the Lease in effect and recover rent as it
becomes due). In such event, Landlord may continue this Lease in full force and
effect, and this Lease will continue in effect as long as Landlord does not terminate
Tenant's right to possession, and Landlord shall have the right to collect rent when
14
Desert Art Center Lease
550 North Palm Canyon Drive
55575.00001\32077669.3
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 by Landlord allowed by this Subparagraph 10.5
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 Subparagraph 10.4,
rent that Landlord receives from reletting shall be applied to the payment of:
(a) First, any indebtedness from Tenant to Landlord other than rent due from
Tenant;
(b) Second, all costs, including for maintenance, incurred by Landlord in
reletting;
(c) Third, rent due and unpaid under this Lease. After deducting the
payments referred to in this Paragraph, 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 for maintenance, Landlord incurred in
reletting that remain after applying the.rent received from the reletting as
provided in this Subparagraph 25(d).
10.5 All rights, options and remedies of Landlord contained in this Lease shall be
construed and held to be cumulative, and no one of them shall be exclusive of the
other, and Landlord shall have the right to pursue any one or all of such remedies or
any other remedy or relief which may be provided by law or in equity, whether or not
stated in this Lease. No waiver of any default of Tenant hereunder shall be implied
from any acceptance by Landlord of any rent or other payments due hereunder or any
omission by Landlord to take any action on account of such default if such default
persists or is repeated. Any waiver must be in writing and such express waiver shall
not affect defaults other than as specified in the waiver. The consent or approval of
Landlord to or of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord's consent or approval shall
not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord's consent or approval to or
of any subsequent similar acts by Tenant.
