tax is stated as a separate charge. Gross revenues, however, shall not

parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate
of the costs that COUNTY will incur by reason of late payment by TENANT.

with respect to the overdue amount nor prevent COUNTY from exercising any of
the other rights and remedies available to COUNTY. Lease fees not paid when
due will bear simple interest from the date due until paid in full at the
rate of five hundredths percent (0.05%) per day.
I. RECORDS AND ACCOUNTS:

gross revenues by more than five percent (5%), the reasonable cost of that
audit shall be paid by TENANT within ten (10) days after the audit report is
furnished to TENANT. Additionally, within such ten (10) days, TENANT must pay
to COUNTY the full amount of any underpayment demonstrated by such audit,

Park or the roads around the Park for the amphitheater allow the TENANT's
attendance limitation to increase over 20,000 persons at any time, TENANT
agrees that it will limit its attendance to 20,000 persons at any time on
those dates when there is a scheduled event at the Park amphitheater.

the above plans, applications, licenses, permits, etc., required in order to
perform under this agreement, TENANT shall be deemed in default.

8. ALCOHOL, MERCHANDISE AND SERVICES: TENANT and its subconcessionaires may
sell alcoholic beverages, merchandise and services at the Faire, and Large

subconcessionaires agree to sell merchandise and provide services that are of
good quality and condition. COUNTY's Division Chief of Regional Parks or his
successor ("CHIEF") has the right to approve the sale and/or distribution of
all items of merchandise and services offered at any event. Such approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld but TENANT agrees that COUNTY retains the
right to require TENANT to discontinue or cause its subconcessionaires to
stop the sale or use of those items or services COUNTY feels are not
acceptable upon one (1) day written notice by COUNTY. In the event COUNTY

services.

the Premises is hooked up.
B. TENANT may hook into the existing Park water, septic and electrical
systems, but all such work must be coordinated with and approved by COUNTY's
On-Site Coordinator. If the as-built capacity of any utilities or services
are not sufficient to handle any TENANT-planned event on the Park, the
TENANT, at its cost, shall provide sufficient temporary utilities or services
for the event. COUNTY shall not be liable for any costs, lost profits or any
type of damages for any failure to provide such utilities or any
interruptions of such utilities for any reason, and neither the failure to

cost of repairs over $20,000) in these areas, the COUNTY may take whatever
measures it feels are reasonable to save these areas from further damage. The
COUNTY makes no guarantee that major damage will not occur. If major damage

restoration costs, on a case by case basis.
(a) Notwithstanding how the parties have handled current and/or
prior flood damage issues, the parties agree that neither party is to be
responsible for repairing major flood damage. In the event the parties are
unable to negotiate the responsibility for future restoration costs for major
flood damage, then TENANT shall have the option to either operate in any safe
manner (as approved by the COUNTY) or terminate this Lease by giving COUNTY
seven (7) days notice of termination. TENANT understands and accepts that the
Premises and License Areas, particularly that portion of the Premises and
License Areas used as parking lots lie within a flood plain and are prone to
flood damage, and TENANT waives all claims and damages against COUNTY related
to loss or damages from flood conditions.
13. USE OF COUNTY EQUIPMENT AND LABOR:

<PAGE>

coverage(s). The inclusion of COUNTY, its employees, agents, officials and
volunteers as additional named insured is not intended to and will not make
them or any of them a partner or joint venturer with TENANT in TENANT's
operations at the Park.

additional security, and TENANT agrees to reimburse COUNTY for all costs
associated with the retention of additional security for any event held
pursuant to this Lease.
21. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING:
A. Except as provided herein, TENANT must not voluntarily assign or
encumber its interest in this Lease or in the Premises, or any options
contained in this Lease, or sublease all or any part of the Premises, or
allow any other person or entity (except TENANT's authorized representatives)
to occupy or use all or any part of the Premises, without first obtaining
COUNTY's consent. In the event of an assignment pursuant to Paragraph 25.
MODIFICATION OF PREMISES, all security interests shall remain subject to the
provisions contained in this Lease, including but not limited to Paragraph 1.
PURPOSE. In the event of an assignment pursuant to Paragraph 24.
MODIFICATION OF PREMISES where Lender is unwilling, unable or otherwise fails
to hold the Faire (and other events), to provide the improvements set forth
in TENANT's Business Plan or Conditional Use Permit, or to operate under the
same terms and conditions specified herein, COUNTY may terminate this Lease.
Any assignment, encumbrance, or sublease without COUNTY's consent is voidable
and, at COUNTY's election,
28
<PAGE>
will constitute a default. No consent to any assignment, encumbrance, or
sublease will constitute a further waiver of the provisions of this
paragraph. TENANT may assign or transfer this Lease to an affiliated
organization or to a reorganized organization so long as the
assignee/transferee organization is composed of primarily the TENANT's then
existing officers and directors. Prior COUNTY review and approval is
required for any such assignment or transfer. Consent to sublease or
assignment shall be within COUNTY's sole discretion, notwithstanding any
other provision of this lease.
(1) If TENANT is a partnership, a withdrawal or change, voluntary,
involuntary, or by operation of law, of any partner, or the dissolution of
the partnership, will be deemed a voluntary assignment.
(2) If TENANT consists of more than one person, a purported
assignment, voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, from one person
to any other will be deemed a voluntary assignment.
(3) If TENANT is a corporation, any dissolution, merger,
consolidation, or other reorganization of TENANT, or the sale or other
transfer of a controlling percentage of the capital stock of TENANT, or the
sale of more than fifty percent (50%) of the value of the assets of TENANT,
will be deemed a voluntary assignment. The phrase "controlling percentage"
means the ownership of and the right to vote stock possessing more than fifty
percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of TENANT'S
capital stock issued, outstanding, and entitled to vote for the election of
directors. This paragraph will not apply to corporations the stock of which
is traded through an exchange or over the counter.
B. TENANT immediately and irrevocably assigns to COUNTY, as security for
TENANT's obligations under this Lease, all rent from any subletting of all or
a part of the Premises as permitted by this Lease. COUNTY, as assignee and
as attorney-in-fact for TENANT, or a receiver for TENANT appointed on
COUNTY's application, may collect such rent and apply it toward TENANT's
obligations under this Lease. Provided that, until the occurrence of an act
of default by TENANT, TENANT has the right to collect such rent.
29
<PAGE>
C. In the event TENANT assigns this Lease, or any option herein
(1) during the first five (5) years of the initial term, seventy-five
percent (75%); or
(2) during the second five years of the initial term, fifty percent
(50%); or
(3) during any extended term, twenty-five percent (25%) of any sums to
be paid by an assignee to TENANT in consideration of the assignment of this
Lease or any option herein (but not including any amounts paid for inventory
or any other property of the TENANT sold as part of the assignment) shall be
paid to COUNTY.
D. In the event TENANT subleases all or substantially all of the Premises
for all or substantially all of the remaining term of this Lease, seventy-five
percent (75%) of all rent received by TENANT from its subtenants in excess of
the rent payable by TENANT to COUNTY under this Lease must be paid to COUNTY.
It is the intent of the parties in interpreting this subparagraph, that
TENANT may enter into subleases with other parties to provide food and drink
services, labor, management services, retail sales and marketing services,
and other items and services without being subject to this subparagraph, but
that TENANT is to remain the operator of the facility. Any subleases which,
by themselves or in conjunction with other subleases, would effect a
substantial change in the operator of the facility would be subject to this
subparagraph.
E. If TENANT requests COUNTY to consent to a proposed assignment or
subletting, TENANT must pay to COUNTY, whether or not consent is ultimately
given, COUNTY's reasonable costs incurred in connection with each such
request, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees. If TENANT does
elect to request consent to any assignment, COUNTY will provide an estimate
of the fees under this paragraph.
30
<PAGE>
F. No interest of TENANT in this Lease is assignable by operation of
law (except that the transfer of this Lease by testacy or intestacy will be
considered a voluntary assignment). Each of the following acts will be
considered an involuntary assignment.
(1) If TENANT is, or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, makes an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or institutes a proceeding under the
Bankruptcy Act in which TENANT is the bankrupt; or, if TENANT is a partnership
or consists of more than one person or entity, if any partner of the
partnership or other person or entity is or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or
makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors;
(2) If a writ of attachment or execution is levied on this Lease,
which is not removed within thirty (30) days of its issuance;
(3) If, in any proceeding or action to which TENANT is a party, a
receiver is appointed with authority to take possession of the Premises.
G. An involuntary assignment will constitute a default by TENANT and
COUNTY has the right to elect to terminate this Lease, in which case this
Lease must not be treated as an asset of TENANT, unless the involuntary
assignment is cured as follows:
(1) If a writ of attachment or execution is levied on this Lease,
TENANT will have thirty (30) days in which to cause the attachment or
execution to be removed.
(2) If any involuntary proceeding in bankruptcy is brought against
TENANT, or if a receiver is appointed, TENANT will have sixty (60) days in
which to have the involuntary proceeding dismissed or the receiver removed.
(2) Except as provided in G(1) and G(2) above, TENANT has no right
to cure an involuntary assignment.
31
<PAGE>
H. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit COUNTY's right to assign its
rights and obligations under this lease to be a successor in interest.
22. BUSINESS PLAN:
A. TENANT shall submit and comply with the business plan for each year
("Business Plan", Exhibit E). The Business Plan must be updated and submitted
to COUNTY for review and approval by Community and Cultural Resources
Director or his/her designee/successor prior to September 1 of each year of
this Lease, commencing with the update for July, 2000, attached hereto. If
the COUNTY or the Community and Cultural Resources Department Director or
his/her designee/successor does not approve any update, beginning with year
2001-02, then any disputes shall be subject to arbitration in accordance with
the American Arbitration Association for this issue only. In the event any
portion of the Business Plan conflicts with the remainder of this Lease, the
remainder of this Lease (without reference to the Business Plan) will control.
B. The Business Plan should (a) be a five year business plan; (b)
include areas such as projected revenue, expenditures, operation and
merchandising program, promotional plans, new development or programs for
business enhancement for each of the five years; (c) include goals, objectives,
implementation, strategies and timelines; (d) may include profit and loss
financial statements of the previous year; (e) may include year-end balance
sheet from the previous year; and (f) include a capital improvement plan.
COUNTY will provide an outline to assist in the plan's format.
C. The purpose of the Business Plan is to provide general guidelines to
control the operation of the Premises and allow the COUNTY to coordinate the
operation of the various concessions in the Park.
32
<PAGE>
23. NONCOMPETITION AND SCHEDULING OF OTHER EVENTS:
During the calendar years of the initial terms of this Lease, COUNTY agrees
that the Faire shall be the sole theme event of its kind held at the Park for
gatherings over 500. If TENANT exercises its option(s) for any additional
term(s), this provision will apply during the calendar years of the
additional term(s). If TENANT exercises all options for additional terms and
is not in default at the completion of the final additional term, this
provision shall continue until December 31, 2020. However, if TENANT does not
exercise all options for additional terms, or is in default at the completion
of the final additional term, this provision shall be null and void, and
COUNTY may conduct or contract to conduct a similar theme event at the Park
for gatherings of any size.
24. MODIFICATION OF PREMISES:
A. Modifications to the Premises will be covered in the Conditional Use
Permit, which will be attached hereto as Exhibit D, and the Business Plan,
Exhibit E. Completion of improvements set forth in Exhibits D. and E. are a
major part of the consideration for the COUNTY's agreement to enter into a
long-term lease and for reducing the rent for the first five years of the
Lease. Therefore, if TENANT fails to comply with the schedule of improvements
and quality of improvements set forth in the Business Plan or Conditional Use
Permit then in effect, the COUNTY may either increase the minimum rent in
years 1 through 5, respectively, to the minimum rent owed in years 6-10,
respectively, or else the COUNTY may terminate the Lease upon forty five (45)
day's written notice.
B. TENANT may make improvements or alterations to the Premises, License
Areas or Park only after first having received approval from COUNTY. All
improvements and alterations to be added or modifications to be made by
TENANT, and the plans and specifications therefore, must have prior approval
by COUNTY.
C. The TENANT shall conduct any construction program in such a manner
that no mechanic's lien or materialmen's lien shall be asserted or assessed,
or purportedly assessed or
33
<PAGE>
asserted, against the Park or Premise, or any improvements thereon. If any
such lien or claimed lien shall be asserted, TENANT shall indemnify and hold
harmless COUNTY in accordance with Paragraph 14. INSURANCE AND
INDEMNIFICATION, of this Lease Agreement. All construction shall be in
conformity with the Glen Helen Regional Park Master Plan.
D. TENANT will, at its own expense unless otherwise provided herein,
construct, perform, complete and maintain all construction and installations
covered under this paragraph in a good and workmanlike manner and with high
quality materials. TENANT will furnish all tools, equipment, labor and
material necessary to perform and complete the same, and hereby expressly
warrants that all said materials and workmanship will be free from defects.
E. All construction will meet the building code requirements of the
County of San Bernardino and any other governmental jurisdiction having
authority over the work. All construction will be carried out and completed
in strict compliance with the plans and specifications approved in writing by
COUNTY and in accordance with the schedule for commencement and completion of
such construction agreed to in writing by COUNTY and TENANT. TENANT is solely
liable for the development and operation of the facilities and
improvements/alterations.
F. TENANT agrees that, in addition to any other inspectors, the
COUNTY's Regional Parks Division ("Division") may have on the site at any
time during the construction period an inspector who will have the right to
access the Premises and the construction work. TENANT understands that this
inspector's presence on site in no way constitutes approval of facilities
being constructed. TENANT must, at the commencement of the construction work,
notify the COUNTY in writing of the identity, place of business, and
telephone number of TENANT's on-the-job construction representative. Said
construction representative will be TENANT's prime consultant for the
inspectors of COUNTY and Division.
G. Prior to commencement of any construction upon the Premises,
TENANT must provide to COUNTY proof of purchase performance and payment bonds
from corporations duly
34
<PAGE>
authorized to issue surety bonds by the State, to the extent such bonds are
available. Each bond must name TENANT as principal, company as surety, and
COUNTY as obligee thereon. The payment bond will also inure to the benefit of
all claimants, as said term is presently defined by Section 3085 of the
California Civil Code, or as may hereafter be amended, so as to give such
persons a right of action to recover thereon in any suit brought to foreclose
the liens provided for in Title 15 of Part of Division 3 of said Civil Code
(Section 3082, et. Sec.) or in a separate suit brought upon the bond. Each
bond must be in a sum equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the costs for
labor and materials of the works of improvement to be located upon the
Premises, as estimated by COUNTY, which shall not exceed 110% of the bid price.
The condition of the performance bond will be such that if the principal well
and truly performs the construction herein required, pursuant to the approved
plans and specifications therefor, then surety will no longer be bound
thereon. The condition of the payment bond will be such that if the principal
well and truly pays, or cause to be paid, all claims for labor, material,
appliances, teams, or power, or either or all, performed, furnished, or
contributed in connection with said works of improvement, then surety will no
longer be bound thereon. Said bonds are subject to approval by the COUNTY as
to sufficiency and liability of sureties named thereon. Said bonds must be
maintained in full force and effect by TENANT until said works of improvement
have been completed and claims for labor and materials have been paid. COUNTY
may, but is not required to, waive Performance Bonds if the amount of
COUNTY's estimated construction costs are below $10,000 or upon written
request from TENANT showing just cause. In the event that the construction is
not satisfactorily completed in accordance with the construction schedule as
described in Exhibits D and E, then in effect, said proceeds may be used by
COUNTY to complete construction or return the Premises to a park-like setting.
H. OWNERSHIP OF IMPROVEMENTS: All improvements and alterations made
by TENANT remain the property of the TENANT, but become the property of the
COUNTY at the end of the initial term and/or upon any termination of this
Lease, whichever occurs first, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing, prior
to commencing construction of the improvement/alteration. COUNTY also has the
option to demand that, at the termination of this lease, TENANT, at TENANT's
sole expense remove all buildings and to return the use area to a park-like
setting which would include normal wear and tear during the term of this
agreement.
35
<PAGE>
I. Incident to such construction, TENANT may encumber its leasehold
to a Lender consented to pursuant to a Consent of Hypothecation by COUNTY in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit H, Consent to Hypothecation (the "County
Consent"). "Approved encumbrance" herein shall mean an encumbrance approved
by the County Consent. "LENDER" herein shall mean the owner and holder of an
approved encumbrance.
(1) Upon default by TENANT under any of the terms of an approved
encumbrance, the LENDER may exercise any rights provided in such approved
encumbrance, provided that before any sale of the leasehold, whether under
power of sale or foreclosure, the LENDER shall give to COUNTY notice of the
same character and duration as is required to be given to TENANT by either or
both such encumbrance or the laws of the State of California.
(2) If such notice shall be given and any default shall
continue, COUNTY, prior to sale of the leasehold under power of sale or
foreclosure, shall have the right to correct such default and initiate action
under Paragraph 26. VIOLATION OF LEASE of this lease to terminate such lease.
Provided that upon any termination hereunder, COUNTY shall pay to LENDER the
amount of principal, accrued interest and other charges which remain unpaid.
(3) If a sale of foreclosure under the approved encumbrance
occurs or if the LENDER acquires the property by assignment in lieu of
foreclosure, said purchaser or assignee, as successor in interest to TENANT,
will be bound by all the terms of this Lease and will assume all the
obligations of TENANT hereunder. Any acquisition of the property by a party
other than LENDER (whether by purchase at judicial foreclosure proceedings,
trustee's sale, or upon assignment from LENDER) shall be subject to COUNTY's
written approval, which approval shall not be withheld where a reasonable
transferee is proposed; a transferee shall be deemed "reasonable" if its
overall financial position is at least as strong as that of TENANT at the
time of execution of this Lease. Upon approval of such transferee by COUNTY,
LENDER shall remain liable for the performance of any of TENANT's obligations
under this Lease, and the transferee shall become the new TENANT hereunder.
36
<PAGE>
J. Except as otherwise provided below, throughout the terms of this
Lease, COUNTY shall not lease or license any part or all of the Premises to
any third party.
(1) Throughout the terms of this Lease, COUNTY shall not lease
or license any part or all of the area designated on Exhibit A, as "Faire
Parking" for use on days (weekends and Memorial Day) when any COUNTY approved
event at the Premises is open to the public ("Public Days(s)"). Provided,
however, that COUNTY reserves the right to license to third parties or use
for its own purposes (on a non-exclusive basis) the Faire Parking on other
than Public Days. If COUNTY does so license or use the Faire Parking, COUNTY
shall (prior to 6:00 a.m. of the Saturday Public Day) clean, repair and
restore the Faire Parking area to the condition it had prior to such use.
(2) COUNTY represents and TENANT understands and agrees that the
operator of the Park amphitheater ("OPERATOR") was required in its lease of
the Amphitheater Area from the COUNTY to prepare a Traffic Management Plan,
setting forth the parking and traffic plans to be used in the event that the
amphitheater and TENANT hold events on the same day. The OPERATOR coordinated
these plans with and obtained the approval of the TENANT and COUNTY. TENANT
agrees that as part of such plans, it will not park additional vehicles in
the Main Faire Parking lot after 3:00 p.m. on dates when there is a scheduled
event at the Park amphitheater.
K. TENANT agrees to locate utility lines and, after obtaining
COUNTY's consent and approval for the extension and connection, to extend
such lines up to the COUNTY-approved points on the leased property. TENANT
agrees to pay for such extension and connection of said lines. TENANT agrees
that, as additional consideration for this lease, the extended utility lines
shall become the COUNTY's property upon completion of the extension work.
TENANT shall provided any necessary documentation transferring the extended
lines to the COUNTY. COUNTY shall not reimburse TENANT for the cost of such
work. Additionally, all work is to comply with county, state and federal
codes.
(1) TENANT understands and agrees that from COUNTY's lines to
TENANT'S
37
<PAGE>
improvements, all utilities, including but not limited to electrical, water,
gas, telephone and sewer, shall be the responsibility of the TENANT. TENANT
shall coordinate all utility connections with COUNTY, and TENANT shall assume
all costs involved with said connections and costs for services thereafter.
L. TENANT shall improve the Premises as set forth in its Business Plan
(Exhibit E) and Conditional Use Permit (Exhibit D). TENANT agrees and
understands that it will construct the improvements as shown on the working
drawings and schematic plans prepared by TENANT and approved by COUNTY. Said
plans, specifications, and time schedule for constructing the hangars, and
all such plans and working drawings shall be submitted with TENANT's
Conditional Use Permit.
(1) Upon completion of construction or installation of each
improvement and/or facility, TENANT, at its sole cost, shall prepare as-built
plans for each improvement and/or facility. TENANT, at its sole cost, shall
give three (3) copies of each such as-built drawing to COUNTY. COUNTY shall
attach one (1) copy to this lease as Exhibit "I", As-Built Plans.
25. BUILDING DAMAGE PROVISIONS: During the term of this lease, any damage to
or destruction of buildings, structures, or landscaping erected or planted on
the Premises, shall be repaired, restored or replaced to the original
condition prior to said damage or destruction at TENANT's sole expense. Where
TENANT fails to commence the repair and restoration within sixty (60) days of
such destruction, TENANT shall turn over to LENDER, identified under
Paragraph 24, MODIFICATION OF PREMISES, or to COUNTY. If there is no lender,
all insurance proceeds in order to facilitate the repair and restoration of
buildings or structures. If after six (6) months from the date of damage or
destruction TENANT or LENDER has not repaired and restored the buildings to
their condition prior to said damage, COUNTY shall have the right to
immediately terminate this lease under Paragraph 26, VIOLATION OF LEASE, and
remove completely or repair any and all structures.
38
<PAGE>
26. VIOLATION OF LEASE:
A. DEFAULT: In the event that TENANT violates any of the terms and
conditions of this Lease, COUNTY may give TENANT notice of specific violation
and demand for correction.
B. TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT: If, within ten (10) days after notice and
demand, TENANT has not commenced correction of a violation, or shown
acceptable cause therefore, COUNTY has the right to immediately terminate
this Lease and pursue any and all remedies provided by law. In the event of
termination for default, COUNTY has the right of immediate ownership of all
buildings and improvements within the Premises.
C. TERMINATION FOR CRIMINAL CONVICTION: COUNTY may give TENANT notice
of termination of this Lease which will be effective upon delivery and the
COUNTY may pursue any and all avenues provided by law to obtain proper
compensation for all losses incurred or damaged should TENANT be found guilty
for any criminal activity related directly or indirectly to the use of the
facilities or opportunities provided by this Lease, and sentenced (whether
actually served or not) to a jail term of ninety (90) days or more.
D. LIABILITY FOR BREACH: Termination for default will not excuse TENANT
from any liability for breach of contract:
(1) On any termination of this Lease for default by TENANT,
COUNTY may recover from TENANT all of the following:
(a) The worth at the time of the award of any unpaid rent
that had been earned at the time of the termination, to be computed by allowing
interest at the rate set forth in Subparagraph 4.H., LATE PAYMENT PENALTIES,
but in no case greater than the maximum amount of interest permitted by law;
39
<PAGE>
(b) The worth at the time of the award of the amount by
which the unpaid rent that would have been earned between the time of the
termination and the time of the award exceeds the amount of unpaid rent that
TENANT proves could reasonably have been avoided, to be computed by allowing
interest at the rate set forth in Subparagraph 4.H., LATE PAYMENT PENALTIES,
but in no case greater than the maximum amount of interest permitted by law;
(c) The worth at the time of the award of the amount by
which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease term after the time of the
award exceeds the amount of unpaid rent that TENANT proves could reasonably
have been avoided, to be computed by discounting that amount at the discount
rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award
plus one percent (1%);
(d) Any other amount necessary to compensate COUNTY for all
the detriment proximately caused by TENANT's failure to perform obligations
under this Lease, including brokerage commissions and advertising expenses,
expenses of remodeling the Premises for a new tenant (whether for the same or
a different use), and any special concessions made to obtain a new TENANT; and
(e) Any other amounts, in addition to or in lieu of those
listed above, that may be permitted by applicable law.
E. ENTRY FOR MITIGATION: In the event of default by TENANT, which
has not been cured after notice, COUNTY shall have the remedy described in
Civil Code Section 1951.4, which provides that, when a tenant has the right
to sublet or assign (subject only to reasonable limitations), and landlord
may continue the lease in effect after the tenant's breach and abandonment
and recover rent as it becomes due. Accordingly, if COUNTY does not elect to
terminate this Lease on any default by TENENT, COUNTY may enforce all of
40
<PAGE>
COUNTY's rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover
all rent as it becomes due.
F. SURRENDER: The receipt by the COUNTY of any rent or of any other
sum of money paid by TENENT after any default, the termination and forfeiture
of this Lease for any reason, or after the giving by COUNTY of any notice to
effect such termination, shall not waive the default, 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 COUNTY to the TENANT prior to the receipt of any such sum of money or
other consideration, unless so agreed to in writing and signed by the COUNTY.
Neither acceptance of the keys nor any other act of the COUNTY or its agents
or employees during the term of this Lease shall be deemed to be an
acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, excepting an agreement in writing
signed by the COUNTY agreeing to accept such surrender.
G. FORCE MAJEURE: The parties shall be excused from performing their
respective obligations under this Lease during the time and to the extent
that each is prevented from performing by a cause beyond its control, such as
an incidence of flood; fire; Acts of God; commandeering of materials by
federal, state or local government; or national fuel shortage.
27. ATTORNEY'S FEES AND COST: If any legal action is instituted to enforce
or declare any party's rights hereunder, each party, including the prevailing
party, must bear its own costs and attorneys' fees. This paragraph shall not
apply to those costs and attorneys' fees directly arising from any third party
legal action against a party hereto and payable under Paragraph 14, INSURANCE
AND INDEMNIFICATION or Paragraph 30, RELEASE OF INFORMATION.
28. NOTICE: Any notice, consent, approval, or other communication required
or permitted to be given under this Lease or the unlawful detainer statutes

of action, claim, counterclaim
45

39. EASEMENTS, TRUSTS AND WARRANTIES:
A. EXISTING ENCUMBRANCES: It is expressly understood and agreed
that this Lease and all rights and privileges hereunder granted are subject
to all encumbrances now existing in, on, to, under, or over the Premises for
any purposes whatsoever. It is further understood and agreed that this Lease

neither COUNTY nor any of its officers, agents, or employees will be liable
to TENANT, or to any person holding under or through TENANT for any
46
<PAGE>
claim, loss or damage of any nature whatsoever suffered or alleged to be
suffered by TENANT or such person by reason of such determination.
C. ASSUMPTION OF RISK: TENANT assumes all risks incident to the
use or occupation of the Premises in their present condition or in any
condition thereof which may prevail during the term of this Lease. This
paragraph shall not relieve COUNTY for the actions of its own agents or
employees occurring after the commencement of this Lease.
D. DETRIMENTAL MANDATES: Any changes in the operation of the
Premises or Lease which are or may be mandated by a court or government
agency of competent jurisdiction, which operates to the substantial detriment
of COUNTY or TENANT, and which are beyond the control of TENANT and COUNTY,
will make the affected terms of this Lease subject to renegotiation.
40. MISCELLANEOUS:
A. NO PARTNERSHIP: It is expressly understood and agreed that
COUNTY nor any of its officers, agents, volunteers or employees do not, in
any way nor for any purpose, become a partner, agent, principle of, or a
joint venturer with TENANT by reason of any provision of this Lease.

agreements herein contained will, in accordance with the context, inure to
the benefit of COUNTY and apply to and bind TENANT, their respective heirs,
legatees, devisees, executors, administrators, successors, agents, assignees,
subtenants, concessionaires and licensees.
C. NO WAIVER: No waiver by COUNTY at any time of any of the terms
and conditions of this Lease will be deemed to operate as a waiver at any
time thereafter of the
47
<PAGE>
same or of any other terms or conditions contained herein or of the strict
and timely performance of such terms and conditions.
D. PARKING: During the published hours of operation, TENANT must
park its personal vehicles only in an approved parking lot. All vehicles in
the Park which are directed, controlled, driven or invited by TENANT must
travel, stop or park only on public roads or approved parking lots except for
the purposes of merchandise delivery during the hours of operation. Use of
vehicles on park streets during the hours of operation must obtain approval
by park office personnel.
E. NO WASTE OR NUISANCE: TENANT shall not use or allow any person
to use the Premises in any manner or for any purpose that will constitute
waste, nuisance, or unreasonable annoyance to other occupants of the building
in which the Premises are located or to the owners or occupants of adjacent
properties.
F. NO DISCRIMINATION: Neither TENANT nor any person claiming under
it may discriminate in its recruiting, hiring, promotion, demotion, or
termination practices on the basis of race, religious creed, color, national
origin, ancestry, sex, age, sexual preference, physical handicap, medical
condition or marital status with respect to the Concession granted herein or
the occupancy, use or enjoyment of the Premises. TENANT must comply with the

the segregation of any person or group of persons on account of race,
religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, age, sexual
preference, physical handicap, medical condition or marital status in the
occupancy, use, tenure or enjoyment of the Leased premise, nor may
48
<PAGE>
TENANT or any person claiming under or through it, establish or permit any
such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to
the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of or by any person within
the Premises.
H. INVALIDITY: The invalidity of any provision in this Lease as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction will in no way affect the
validity of any other provision hereof.
I. TIME OF ESSENCE: Except as otherwise specifically provided, time
is of the essence of each provision of this Lease which specifies a time
within which performance is to occur. In the absence of any specified time
for performance, performance may be made within a reasonable time.
J. COUNTY USE: TENANT agrees to allow COUNTY to use the Premises,
License Areas and the rights outlined within the context of this agreement
for whatever purpose COUNTY determined a need, for period(s) not to exceed a
total of five (5) calendar days per year. Scheduling and approval of any such
COUNTY use will be by mutual consent of the parties. For each such period,
COUNTY shall give forty-five (45) days advance notice to TENANT. COUNTY will
pay TENANT any actual expenses of TENANT directly associated with any such
COUNTY use unless otherwise agreed by COUNTY and TENANT. For each COUNTY use
TENANT and COUNTY agree to the following, including but not limited to: term

sanitation, premises maintenance, insurance and indemnification, conduct,
first aid, complimentary tickets, security, non-competition, modification of

K. VENUE: The parties acknowledge and agree that this Lease was entered
into and intended to be performed in San Bernardino County, California. The
parties agree that the venue for any action or claim brought by any party to
this Lease will be San Bernardino County. Each party hereby waives any law or
rule of court which would allow them to request or demand
49
<PAGE>
a change of venue. If any action or claim concerning this Lease is brought by
any third party, the parties hereto agree to use their best efforts to obtain
a change of venue to the Central District of San Bernardino County.
L. SEVERANCE: If any provision of this Lease is determined to be void
by any court of competent jurisdiction, then such determination will not
affect any other provision of this Lease, and all such other provisions will
remain in full force and effect. It is the intention of the parties hereto
that if any provision of this Lease is capable of two constructions, one of
which would render the provision void and the other of which would render the
provision valid, then the provision will have the meaning which renders it
valid.
M. SURVIVAL: The obligations of the parties which, by their nature,
continue beyond the term of this Lease, will survive the termination of this
Lease.
N. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY: COUNTY is not liable at any time for loss,
damages, or injury to the person or property of any person whomsoever at any
time, occasioned by or arising out of any act of TENANT or of anyone holding
under TENANT, nor for the occupancy or use of the Premises, License Areas,
Park or any part thereof by or under the TENANT, nor directly or indirectly
from any state or condition of said Premises, License Areas, Park or any part
thereof during the term of this Lease.
