BIG 5 SPORTING GOODS CORPORATION

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(1) Basis of Presentation and Description of Business

     We operate in one business segment, as a sporting goods retailer under the Big 5 Sporting Goods name carrying a broad range of hard goods, apparel and footwear, operating 295 stores at June 27, 2004 in California, Washington, Arizona, Oregon, Texas, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Idaho and Colorado. We are a holding company that operates our business through Big 5 Corp., our wholly owned subsidiary, and Big 5 Services Corp., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Big 5 Corp. Big 5 Services Corp. began operations at the beginning of fiscal 2004 to centralize the issuance and administration of gift certificates and gift cards.

     In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to present fairly and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) the financial position as of June 27, 2004 and December 28, 2003, the results of operations for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended June 27, 2004 and June 29, 2003 and cash flows for the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2004 and June 29, 2003. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission; however, we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2003.

(2) Debt Redemption

     On April 15, 2004, we redeemed $15.0 million face value of our 10.875% senior notes due 2007 using borrowings under our credit facility. We also redeemed $20.0 million face value and $35.0 million face value of our 10.875% senior notes due 2007 during the first and fourth quarters of fiscal 2003, respectively, using borrowings under our credit facility.

  $ 0.33     $ 0.28     $ 0.63     $ 0.43  
 
   
 
     
 
     
 
     
 
 

     The computation of diluted earnings for the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2004 does not include 341,400 options that were outstanding at the end of the period. In addition, the computation of diluted earnings for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended June 29, 2003 does not include 59,000 options that were outstanding at the end of the period. The exercise price of these options was greater than the average market price of our common stock during the relevant reporting periods and thus would have been antidilutive. The outstanding warrant was exercised in the first quarter of fiscal 2003.

(4) Stock-Based Compensation

     As permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended, we continue to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations and provide pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants made in 1995 and future years as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. SFAS No. 123 was amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation –

Table of Contents

Transition and Disclosure – An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. Therefore, compensation expense for stock options issued to employees is recorded on the date of grant only if the then-current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. If we had determined compensation cost based upon the fair value at the grant date for our stock options under SFAS No. 123 using the Black Scholes option pricing model, pro forma net income and pro forma net income per share, including the following weighted average assumptions used in these calculations, would have been as follows:

(5) Related Party Transactions

     Prior to September 1992, Big 5 Corp. was a wholly owned subsidiary of Thrifty Corporation (“Thrifty”), which was in turn a wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific Enterprises (“PE”). In December 1996, Thrifty was acquired by Rite Aid Corp. (“Rite Aid”).

     As a result of the Company’s prior relationship with Thrifty and its affiliates, the Company continues to maintain certain relationships with Rite Aid, PE and PE’s successor company, Sempra Energy. These relationships include continuing indemnification obligations of PE to the Company for certain environmental matters; agreements between the Company and PE with respect to various tax matters and obligations under ERISA, including the allocation of various tax obligations relating to the inclusion of the Company and each member of the affiliated group of which the Company was a subsidiary in certain consolidated and/or unitary tax returns of PE, and subleases. Green Equity Investors III, L.P., an affiliate of Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., holds convertible preferred stock in Rite Aid, which, if converted, would represent approximately 13.0% of Rite Aid’s outstanding stock. Green Equity Investors, L.P., an affiliate of Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., owned more than 27% of our outstanding common stock until it sold substantially all of its shares in a secondary public offering in November 2003.

(6) Contingencies

     The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Table of Contents

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

BASIS OF REPORTING

Net Sales

     Net sales consist of sales from all stores operated during the period presented, net of merchandise returns. Same store sales for a period reflect net sales from stores operated throughout that period as well as the corresponding prior period. New store sales for a period reflect net sales from stores opened in that period as well as net sales from stores opened during the prior fiscal year. Stores that are relocated during any period are treated as new stores.

Gross Profit

     Gross profit is comprised of net sales less all costs of sales, including the cost of merchandise, inventory markdowns, inventory shrinkage, inbound freight, distribution and warehousing, payroll for our buying personnel and store and corporate office occupancy costs. Store and corporate office occupancy costs include rent, contingent rents, common area maintenance, real estate property taxes and property insurance.

Selling and Administrative

     Selling and administrative includes store management and corporate expenses, including non-buying personnel payroll, employment taxes, employee benefits, management information systems, advertising, insurance other than property insurance, legal, store pre-opening expenses and other corporate level expenses. Store pre-opening expenses include store-level payroll, grand opening event marketing, travel, supplies and other store opening expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization

     Depreciation and amortization consists primarily of the depreciation of leasehold improvements, fixtures and equipment owned by us, amortization of leasehold interest and non-cash rent expense.

DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     In the ordinary course of business, we have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the following discussion addresses our critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition.

- 9 -


Table of Contents

Valuation of Inventory

     We value our inventories at the lower of cost or market using the weighted average cost method that approximates the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Management has evaluated the current level of inventories in comparison to planned sales volume and other factors and, based on this evaluation, has recorded adjustments to inventory and cost of goods sold for estimated decreases in inventory value. These adjustments are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from actual results if future economic conditions, consumer demand and competitive environments differ from our expectations. We are not aware of any events or changes in demand or price that would indicate to us that our inventory valuation may be materially inaccurate at this time.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

     Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future net cash flows estimated by us to be generated by these assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. We are not aware of any events or changes in circumstances that would indicate to us that our long-lived assets are impaired or that would require an impairment consideration at this time.

     1. Net Sales. Net sales increased by $14.4 million, or 8.4%, to $184.5 million in the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2004 from $170.1 million in the same period last year. This growth reflected an increase of $6.6 million in same store sales and an increase of $9.1 million in new store sales, which reflected the opening of four new stores, including two relocated stores, during the first 26 weeks of 2004 and 18 new stores since March 30, 2003. The remaining variance was attributable to net sales from closed stores. Same store sales increased 3.9% in the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2004 versus the same period last year, representing the thirty-fourth consecutive quarterly increase in same store sales over comparable prior periods. This 3.9% increase in same store sales was attributable to higher sales in each of our three major product categories of footwear, hard goods and apparel. Store count at June 27, 2004 was 295 versus 275 at June 29, 2003. We opened one store in the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2004, and no stores in the 13 weeks ended June 29, 2003. We expect to open 13 to 16 net new stores during the remainder of fiscal 2004.

     2. Gross Profit. Gross profit increased by $5.1 million, or 8.1%, to $67.7 million in the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2004 from $62.6 million in the same period last year. Gross profit margin was 36.7% in the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2004 compared to 36.8% in the same period last year. We achieved higher product selling margin comparisons in each of

our three major product categories; however, gross profit margin declined 0.1% as a result of higher warehouse and distribution costs, which increased 0.2% as a percent of net sales. Warehouse payroll and benefit expenses increased in order to support our store growth and to prepare for the new distribution center scheduled to open in fiscal 2005. In addition, higher gasoline prices negatively impacted trucking expense.

     3. Selling and Administrative. Selling and administrative expenses increased by $3.5 million, or 7.6%, to $50.0 million in the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2004 from $46.5 million in the same period last year. The increase was driven by a $2.3 million increase in store-related expenses, including payroll and payroll taxes, as a result of store growth, as well as increased employee health benefit costs. Advertising expense increased by $0.9 million due to the growth in our store base since the same period last year. The remaining difference resulted from other administrative costs, such as corporate payroll and benefit expense. When measured as a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses were 27.1% for the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2004, down from 27.3% in the 13 weeks ended June 29, 2003. The decrease primarily resulted from a 0.2% decline in store salaries when measured as a percent of sales.

     4. Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.2 million, or 7.3%, to $2.7 million for the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2004 from $2.5 million for the same period last year, primarily due to the increase in store count to 295 stores at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2004 from 275 stores at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2003.

     5. Redemption Premium and Unamortized Financing Fees Related to Redemption of Debt. Redemption premium and unamortized financing fees related to redemption of debt were $0.8 million in the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2004. There were no premium and unamortized financing fees related to redemption of debt in the 13 weeks ended June 29, 2003. The $0.8 million charge in the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2004 resulted from the redemption of $15.0 million face value of our 10.875% senior notes and the related carrying value of applicable deferred financing costs and original issue discount which totaled $0.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2004.

     6. Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net, decreased by $1.3 million, or 43.9%, to $1.6 million in the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2004 from $2.9 million in the same period last year. Interest expense benefited from the redemption of $15.0 million of our 10.875% senior notes in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 and $35.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 through borrowings from our lower cost credit facility as well as a reduction in overall debt levels since the beginning of fiscal 2003.

     7. Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes was $5.0 million for the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2004 and $4.4 million for the 13 weeks ended June 29, 2003. We accrue taxes at the statutory tax rate, which is reevaluated on an ongoing basis by management. In the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2004 we determined the Company’s effective tax rate to be 40%, down from 41% in the 13 weeks ended June 29, 2003, due in part to the growth in our store base outside of California.

     1. Net Sales. Net sales increased by $30.9 million, or 9.2%, to $365.5 million in the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2004 from $334.6 million in the same period last year. This growth reflected an increase of $15.0 million in same store sales and an increase of $17.6 million in new store sales, which reflected the opening of four new stores, including two relocated stores, during the first 26 weeks of 2004 and 19 new stores in fiscal 2003. The remaining variance was attributable to net sales from closed stores. Same store sales increased 4.5% in the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2004 versus the same period last year. This 4.5% increase in same store sales was attributable to higher sales in each of our three major product categories of footwear, hard goods and apparel. Store count at June 27, 2004 was 295 versus 275 at June 29, 2003. We opened four stores, including two relocated stores, in the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2004. We opened one store and closed one store in the 26 weeks ended June 29, 2003. We expect to open 13 to 16 net new stores during the remainder of fiscal 2004.

     2. Gross Profit. Gross profit increased by $12.9 million, or 10.7%, to $133.3 million in the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2004 from $120.4 million in the same period last year. Gross profit margin was 36.5% in the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2004 compared to 36.0% in the same period last year. We were able to achieve higher gross profit margins primarily due to improved product selling margin comparisons in each of our three major product categories, partially offset by a 0.2% increase in warehouse and distribution costs when measured as a percentage of sales. The 0.2% increase in warehouse and distribution costs was largely driven by higher warehouse payroll and benefit expenses to support our store growth and to prepare for the new distribution center scheduled to open in fiscal 2005. In addition, higher gasoline prices negatively impacted trucking expense.

     3. Selling and Administrative. Selling and administrative expenses increased by $8.0 million, or 8.7%, to $99.6 million in the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2004 from $91.6 million in the same period last year. The increase was driven by a $5.0 million increase in store-related expenses, including payroll and payroll taxes, as a result of store growth, as well as increased employee health benefit costs. Advertising expense increased by $1.8 million due to the growth in our store base since the same period last year. The remaining $1.2 million increase resulted from other administrative costs, such as corporate payroll and benefit expense. When measured as a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses were 27.3% for the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2004, down from 27.4% in the 26 weeks ended June 29, 2003. The decrease primarily resulted from a 0.2% decline in store salaries when measured as a percent of sales.

     4. Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.5 million, or 9.1%, to $5.5 million for the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2004 from $5.0 million for the same period last year, primarily due to the increase in store count to 295 stores at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2004 from 275 stores at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2003.

     5. Redemption Premium and Unamortized Financing Fees Related to Redemption of Debt. Redemption premium and unamortized financing fees related to redemption of debt were $0.8 million in the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2004 versus $1.5 million during the same period last year. The $0.8 million charge in the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2004 resulted from the redemption of $15.0 million face value of our 10.875% senior notes and the related carrying value of applicable deferred financing costs and original issue discount which totaled $0.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. The $1.5 million charge in the first 26 weeks of fiscal 2003 resulted from the redemption of $20.0 million face value of our 10.875% senior notes during the first quarter of fiscal 2003.

     6. Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net, decreased by $2.3 million, or 39.4%, to $3.6 million in the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2004 from $5.9 million in the same period last year. Interest expense benefited from the redemption of $15.0 million of our 10.875% senior notes in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 and $55.0 million in fiscal 2003 through borrowings from our lower cost credit facility as well as a reduction in overall debt levels since the beginning of fiscal 2003.

     7. Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes was $9.5 million for the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2004 and $6.7 million for the 26 weeks ended June 29, 2003. We accrue taxes at the statutory tax rate, which is reevaluated on an ongoing basis by management. In the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2004 we determined the Company’s effective tax rate to be 40%, down from 41% in the 26 weeks ended June 29, 2003, due in part to the growth in our store base outside of California.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Our principal liquidity requirements are for working capital and capital expenditures. We fund our liquidity requirements with cash on hand, cash flow from operations and borrowings under our credit facility.

     Net cash used by operating activities for the first 26 weeks of fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003 was $2.7 million and $5.9 million, respectively. The change between periods primarily reflects higher net income in the first 26 weeks of fiscal 2004, partially offset by increased working capital requirements between periods to fund store growth.

     Capital expenditures for the first 26 weeks of fiscal 2004 and 2003 were $3.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Expenditures for our planned new distribution center accounted for approximately $0.6 million of capital expenditures in the first 26 weeks of fiscal 2004. We expect capital expenditures for the remaining 26 weeks of fiscal 2004 to range from $15.0 to $20.0 million. We expect to spend $7.0 to $10.0 million primarily to fund the opening of approximately 13 to 16 net new stores (which includes store relocations), store improvements and remodelings, warehouse and headquarters improvements and computer hardware and software expenditures. In addition, we anticipate spending an estimated $8.0 to $10.0 million of the approximately $15.0 million of total capital spending requirements for our planned new distribution center, which is scheduled to be operational in the second half of fiscal 2005.

     Net cash provided by financing activities for the first 26 weeks of fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003 was $3.6 million and $5.1 million, respectively. As of June 27, 2004, we had borrowings of $76.5 million and letter of credit commitments of $0.5 million outstanding under our credit facility and $33.1 million of our 10.875% senior notes outstanding. These balances compare to borrowings of $52.1 million and letter of credit commitments of $5.4 million outstanding under our credit facility and $82.8 million of our 10.875% senior notes outstanding as of June 29, 2003. On April 15, 2004, we redeemed $15.0 million face value of our 10.875% senior notes due 2007, using borrowings under our credit facility. We also redeemed $20.0 million face value and $35.0 million face value of our 10.875% senior notes due 2007 during the first and fourth quarters of fiscal 2003, respectively, using borrowings under our credit facility. We had $6.4 million of cash at June 27, 2004 and $6.9 million at June 29, 2003.

     We believe we will be able to fund our future cash requirements for operations from operating cash flows, cash on hand and borrowings under our credit facility. We believe these sources of funds will be sufficient to continue our operations and planned capital expenditures and satisfy our scheduled payments under debt obligations for at least the next twelve months. However, our ability to satisfy such obligations depends upon our future performance, which in turn is subject to general economic conditions and regional risks, and to financial, business and other factors affecting our operations, including factors beyond our control. See “ Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results and Market Price of Our Common Stock.”

     Long-term debt consists of our 10.875% senior notes that mature on November 13, 2007. We expect to repay our 10.875% senior notes by the maturity date using a combination of cash flow from operations, drawings under our credit facility, an expansion or replacement of our credit facility and the issuance of debt or equity securities. The 10.875% senior notes are general unsecured obligations, which rank senior in right of payment to all of our existing and future subordinated indebtedness and pari passu in right of payment with all of our current and future unsubordinated indebtedness, subject to the security interests that have been granted in substantially all of our assets in connection with our credit facility.

     Operating lease commitments consist principally of leases for our retail store facilities, distribution center and corporate offices. These leases frequently include options which permit us to extend the terms beyond the initial fixed lease term. We intend to renegotiate those leases as they expire. Payments for these lease commitments are provided for by cash flows generated from operations.

     In April 2004 we signed an operating lease agreement for a new distribution facility in order to facilitate our store growth. The new distribution facility will be located in Riverside, California and will have approximately 952,900 square feet of storage and office space. We anticipate completing the construction of and transition to the new distribution center in fiscal 2005. The expected annual lease payments are included in the table above.

     We have a non-amortizing $140.0 million revolving credit facility. The credit facility may be terminated by the lenders by giving at least 90 days prior written notice before any anniversary date, commencing with its anniversary date on March 20, 2006. We may terminate the credit facility by giving at least 30 days prior written notice, provided that if we terminate prior to March 20, 2006, we must pay an early termination fee. Unless it is terminated, the credit facility will continue on an annual basis from anniversary date to anniversary date beginning on March 21, 2006. The facility is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets.

     The credit facility bears interest at various rates based on our performance, with a floor of LIBOR plus 1.50% or the JP Morgan Chase Bank prime lending rate and a ceiling of LIBOR plus 2.50% or the JP Morgan Chase Bank prime lending rate plus 0.75% and is secured by trade accounts receivable, merchandise inventory and general intangible assets

(including trademarks and trade names). At June 27, 2004, loans under the credit facility bear interest at a rate of LIBOR (1.33% at June 27, 2004) plus 1.50% or the JP Morgan Chase Bank prime lending rate (4.00% at June 27, 2004). An annual fee of 0.325%, payable monthly, is assessed on the unused portion of the amended and restated credit facility. On June 27, 2004, we had $76.5 million in LIBOR and prime lending rate borrowings and letters of credit of $0.5 million outstanding. Our maximum eligible borrowing available under the credit facility is limited to 71.15% of the aggregate value of eligible inventory during November and December, 67.24% during January and February, and 67.25% during the remaining months of the year. The maximum eligible borrowing available under the credit facility had been 70% of the aggregate value of eligible inventory from November through February and 65% of the aggregate value of eligible inventory during the remainder of the year. The advance rates changed in April 2004 following a scheduled appraisal by the credit facility agent. Available borrowings over and above actual borrowings and letters of credit outstanding on the credit facility amounted to $49.3 million at June 27, 2004.

     Our credit facility and the indenture governing our 10.875% senior notes contain various financial and other covenants, including covenants that require us to maintain various financial ratios, restrict our ability to incur indebtedness or to create various liens and restrict the amount of capital expenditures that we may incur. Our credit facility and the indenture governing our 10.875% senior notes also restrict our ability to engage in mergers or acquisitions, sell assets or pay dividends. We are currently in compliance with all covenants under our credit facility and the indenture governing our 10.875% senior notes.

     If we fail to make any required payment under our credit facility or the indenture governing our 10.875% senior notes or if we otherwise default under these instruments, our debt may be accelerated under these instruments. This acceleration could also result in the acceleration of other indebtedness that we may have outstanding at that time.

     If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet our obligations and commitments, we will be required to refinance or restructure our indebtedness or raise additional debt or equity capital. Additionally, we may be required to sell material assets or operations or delay or forego expansion opportunities. We might not be able to affect these alternative strategies on satisfactory terms, if at all.

SEASONALITY

     We experience seasonal fluctuations in our net sales and operating results. In fiscal 2003, we generated 27.0% of our net sales and 35.2% of our operating income in the fourth fiscal quarter, which includes the holiday selling season as well as the peak winter sports selling season. As a result, we incur significant additional expenses in the fourth fiscal quarter due to higher purchase volumes and increased staffing. If we miscalculate the demand for our products generally or for our product mix during the fourth fiscal quarter, our net sales, including same store sales, could decline, resulting in excess inventory, which could harm our financial performance. Because a substantial portion of our operating income is derived from our fourth fiscal quarter net sales, a shortfall in expected fourth fiscal quarter net sales could cause our annual operating results to suffer significantly.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     This document includes certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, our financial condition, our results of operations, our growth strategy and the business of our company generally. In some cases, you can identify such statements by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “intends” or other such terminology. These forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results in future periods to differ materially from forecasted results. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the risk factors set forth below and elsewhere in this report and other risks and uncertainties more fully described in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We caution that the risk factors set forth in this report are not exclusive. In addition, we conduct our business in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment. Accordingly, new risk factors may arise. It is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor to assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any individual risk factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. We disclaim any obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement that may be made from time to time by us or on our behalf.

RISK FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS AND MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK

     Set forth below and elsewhere in this report and in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission are risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report.

Risks Related to Our Business

We have a substantial amount of debt, future cash flows may not be sufficient to meet our obligations and we might have difficulty obtaining more financing.

     We have a substantial amount of debt. As of June 27, 2004, the aggregate principal amount of our outstanding indebtedness was approximately $109.5 million. Our leveraged financial position means:

  a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations will be required to service our indebtedness;
 
  our ability to obtain financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes might be impeded; and
 
  we are more vulnerable to economic downturns and our ability to withstand competitive pressures is limited.

     If our business declines, our future cash flow might not be sufficient to meet our obligations and commitments.

     If we fail to make any required payment under our credit facility or indenture, our debt may be accelerated under these instruments. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency or a material breach of any covenant contained in one of our debt instruments, our debt may be accelerated. This acceleration could also result in the acceleration of other indebtedness that we may have outstanding at that time.

     If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet our obligations and commitments, we will be required to refinance or restructure our indebtedness or raise additional debt or equity capital. Additionally, we may be required to sell material assets or operations or delay or forego expansion opportunities. These alternative strategies might not be effected on satisfactory terms, if at all.

The terms of our debt instruments impose operating and financial restrictions on us, which may impair our ability to respond to changing business and economic conditions.

     The terms of our debt instruments impose operating and financial restrictions on us, including, among other things, restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, create or allow liens, pay dividends, engage in mergers, acquisitions or reorganizations or make specified capital expenditures. For example, our ability to engage

- 19 -


Table of Contents

in the foregoing transactions will depend upon, among other things, our level of indebtedness at the time of the proposed transaction and whether we are in default under our financing agreements. As a result, our ability to respond to changing business and economic conditions and to secure additional financing, if needed, may be significantly restricted, and we may be prevented from engaging in transactions that might further our growth strategy or otherwise benefit us without obtaining consent from our lenders. In addition, our credit facility is secured by a first priority security interest in our trade accounts receivable, merchandise inventories, service marks and trademarks and other general intangible assets, including trade names. In the event of our insolvency, liquidation, dissolution or reorganization, the lenders under our debt instruments would be entitled to payment in full from our assets before distributions, if any, were made to our stockholders.

If we are unable to successfully implement our controlled growth strategy or manage our growing business, our future operating results could suffer.

     One of our strategies includes opening profitable stores in new and existing markets. Our ability to successfully implement our growth strategy could be negatively affected by any of the following:

  suitable sites may not be available for leasing;
 
  we may not be able to negotiate acceptable lease terms;
 
  we might not be able to hire and retain qualified store personnel; and
 
  we might not have the financial resources necessary to fund our expansion plans.

     In addition, our expansion in new and existing markets may present competitive, distribution and merchandising challenges that differ from our current challenges. These potential new challenges include competition among our stores, added strain on our distribution center, additional information to be processed by our management information systems and diversion of management attention from ongoing operations. We face additional challenges in entering new markets, including consumers’ lack of awareness of us, difficulties in hiring personnel and problems due to our unfamiliarity with local real estate markets and demographics. New markets may also have different competitive conditions, consumer tastes and discretionary spending patterns than our existing markets. To the extent that we are not able to meet these new challenges, our net sales, including same store sales, could decrease and our operating costs could increase.

Because our stores are concentrated in the western United States, we are subject to regional risks.

     Our stores are located in the western United States. Because of this, we are subject to regional risks, such as the economy, weather conditions, power outages, electricity and gasoline costs, and earthquakes and other natural disasters specific to the states in which we operate. For example, particularly in southern California where we have a high concentration of stores, seasonal factors such as unfavorable snow conditions (such as those that occurred in the winter of 2002-2003), inclement weather or other localized conditions such as flooding, fires (such as the major fires in 2003), earthquakes or electricity

blackouts could harm our operations. State and local regulatory compliance, including workers compensation costs, also can impact our financial results. If the region were to suffer an economic downturn or other adverse regional event, our net sales, including same store sales, and profitability and our ability to implement our planned expansion program could suffer. Several of our competitors operate stores across the United States and thus are not as vulnerable to these regional risks.

If we lose key management or are unable to attract and retain the talent required for our business, our operating results could suffer.

     Our future success depends to a significant degree on the skills, experience and efforts of Steven G. Miller, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and other key personnel who are not obligated to stay with us. The loss of the services of any of these individuals could harm our business and operations. In addition, as our business grows, we will need to attract and retain additional qualified personnel in a timely manner and develop, train and manage an increasing number of management level sales associates and other employees. Competition for qualified employees could require us to pay higher wages and benefits to attract a sufficient number of employees, and increases in the federal minimum wage or other employee benefits costs could increase our operating expenses. If we are unable to attract and retain personnel as needed in the future, our net sales growth, including same store sales growth, and operating results may suffer.

Our hardware and software systems are vulnerable to damage that could harm our business.

     Our success, in particular our ability to successfully manage inventory levels, largely depends upon the efficient operation of our computer hardware and software systems. We use management information systems to track inventory information at the store level, communicate customer information and aggregate daily sales information. These systems and our operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from:

  earthquake, fire, flood and other natural disasters;
 
  power loss, computer systems failures, internet and telecommunications or data network failure, operator negligence, improper operation by or supervision of employees, physical and electronic loss of data or security breaches, misappropriation and similar events; and
 
  computer viruses.

     Any failure that causes an interruption in our operations or a decrease in inventory tracking could result in reduced net sales, including same store sales, and profitability.

If our suppliers do not provide sufficient quantities of products, our net sales and profitability could suffer.

     We purchase merchandise from over 750 vendors. Although we did not rely on any single vendor for more than 6.0% of our total purchases during the twelve months ended June 27, 2004, our dependence on principal suppliers involves risk. Our 20 largest vendors collectively accounted for 37.9% of our total purchases during the twelve months ended

June 27, 2004. If there is a disruption in supply from a principal supplier or distributor, we may be unable to obtain merchandise that we desire to sell and that consumers desire to purchase. In addition, a significant portion of the products that we purchase, including those purchased from domestic suppliers, are manufactured abroad. A vendor could discontinue selling products to us at any time for reasons that may or may not be in our control. Our net sales, including same store sales, and profitability could decline if we are unable to promptly replace a vendor who is unwilling or unable to satisfy our requirements with a vendor providing equally appealing products.

Because all of our stores rely on a single primary distribution center and a satellite distribution center, any disruption could reduce our net sales.

     We currently rely on a single primary distribution center in Fontana, California, as well as a satellite distribution center to handle seasonal merchandise and returns. Any natural disaster or other serious disruption to the primary distribution center due to fire, earthquake or any other cause could damage a significant portion of our inventory and could materially impair both our ability to adequately stock our stores and our net sales, including same store sales, and profitability. Any similar event which affects our satellite distribution center could materially impair our ability to adequately stock our stores with seasonal merchandise, which could also materially impair our net sales, including same store sales, and profitability. If the security measures used at our distribution centers do not prevent inventory theft, our gross margin may significantly decrease.

     Due to limited capacity at the current primary distribution center, we recently entered into a 10-year lease with three five-year renewal options for a replacement distribution center and expect to begin construction in the second half of fiscal 2004. We anticipate completing the construction of and transition to the new distribution center in the second half of fiscal 2005. Any disruption to, or delay in, this process could harm our future operations.

Because equity owners of a significant stockholder of one of our competitors serve on our board of directors and the board of directors of such competitor, there may be conflicts of interest.

     Green Equity Investors, L.P., an affiliate of Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., holds approximately 7.7% of the outstanding common stock of The Sports Authority, Inc., one of our competitors. John G. Danhakl, an equity owner of Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., currently serves on our board of directors. Jonathan D. Sokoloff, an equity owner of Leonard Green & Partners, L.P. and a former member of our board of directors, currently serves on The Sports Authority, Inc.’s board of directors. Mr. Danhakl may have conflicts of interest with respect to certain matters affecting us, including the pursuit of certain business opportunities presented to Leonard Green & Partners, L.P. All potential conflicts may not be resolved in a manner that is favorable to us. We believe it is impossible to predict the precise circumstances under which future potential conflicts may arise and therefore intend to address potential conflicts on a case-by-case basis. Under Delaware law, directors have a

- 22 -


Table of Contents

fiduciary duty to act in good faith and in what they believe to be in the best interest of the corporation and its stockholders. Such duties include the duty to refrain from impermissible self-dealing and to deal fairly with respect to transactions in which the directors, or other companies with which such directors are affiliated, have an interest.

Recently enacted and proposed changes in securities laws and regulations are likely to increase our costs.

     The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”) that became law in July 2002, as well as new rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), have required and will require changes in some of our corporate governance practices. The Act also requires the SEC to promulgate additional new rules on a variety of subjects. In addition to final rules and rule proposals already made by the SEC, Nasdaq has revised its requirements for companies that are quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.’s National Market. We expect these new rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more difficult, time consuming and/or costly. We also expect these new rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These new rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee, and qualified executive officers.

Risks Related to Our Industry

A downturn in the economy may affect consumer purchases of discretionary items, which could reduce our net sales.

     In general, our sales represent discretionary spending by our customers. Discretionary spending is affected by many factors, including, among others, general business conditions, interest rates, inflation, consumer debt levels, the availability of consumer credit, taxation, electricity power rates, gasoline prices, unemployment trends and other matters that influence consumer confidence and spending. Our customers’ purchases of discretionary items, including our products, could decline during periods when disposable income is lower or periods of actual or perceived unfavorable economic conditions. If this occurs, our net sales, including same store sales, and profitability could decline.

Seasonal fluctuations in the sales of sporting goods could cause our annual operating results to suffer significantly.

     We experience seasonal fluctuations in our net sales and operating results. In fiscal 2003, we generated 27.0% of our net sales and 35.2% of our operating income in the fourth fiscal quarter, which includes the holiday selling season as well as the peak winter sports selling season. As a result, we incur significant additional expenses in the fourth fiscal quarter due to higher purchase volumes and increased staffing. If we miscalculate the demand for our products generally or for our product mix during the fourth fiscal quarter, our net sales, including same store sales, could decline, resulting in excess inventory, which

- 23 -


Table of Contents

could harm our financial performance. Because a substantial portion of our operating income is derived from our fourth fiscal quarter net sales, a shortfall in expected fourth fiscal quarter net sales could cause our annual operating results to suffer significantly.

Intense competition in the sporting goods industry could limit our growth and reduce our profitability.

     The retail market for sporting goods is highly fragmented and intensely competitive. We compete directly or indirectly with the following categories of companies:

  other traditional sporting goods stores and chains;
 
  mass merchandisers, discount stores and department stores, such as Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target, Kohl’s, JC Penney, and Sears;
 
  specialty sporting goods shops and pro shops, such as The Athlete’s Foot and Foot Locker;
 
  sporting goods superstores, such as The Sports Authority, Inc., and its other operating units, Oshman’s, Sportmart and Gart Sports Company; and
 
  internet retailers.

     Some of our competitors have a larger number of stores and greater financial, distribution, marketing and other resources than we have. Two of our major competitors, The Sports Authority, Inc. and Gart Sports Company (including its other operating units, Oshman’s and Sportmart), completed a merger in August 2003. In addition, if our competitors reduce their prices, it may be difficult for us to reach our net sales or same store sales goals without reducing our prices. As a result of this competition, we may also need to spend more on advertising and promotion than we anticipate. If we are unable to compete successfully, our operating results will suffer.

We may incur costs from litigation or increased regulation relating to products that we sell, particularly firearms.

     We sell products manufactured by third parties, some of which may be defective. If any product that we sell were to cause physical injury or injury to property, the injured party or parties could bring claims against us as the retailer of the product. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover every claim that could be asserted against us. If a successful claim were brought against us in excess of our insurance coverage, it could harm our business. Even unsuccessful claims could result in the expenditure of funds and management time and could have a negative impact on our business. In addition, our products are subject to the Federal Consumer Product Safety Act, which empowers the Consumer Product Safety Commission to protect consumers from hazardous sporting goods and other articles. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has the authority to exclude from the market certain consumer products that are found to be hazardous. Similar laws exist in some states and cities in the United States. If we fail to comply with government and industry safety standards, we may be subject to claims, lawsuits, fines and negative publicity that could harm our operating results.

- 24 -


Table of Contents

     In addition, we sell firearms and ammunition, products associated with an increased risk of injury and related lawsuits. Sales of firearms and ammunition have historically represented less than 5% of our annual net sales. We may incur losses due to lawsuits relating to our performance of background checks on firearms purchases as mandated by state and federal law or the improper use of firearms sold by us, including lawsuits by municipalities or other organizations attempting to recover costs from firearms manufacturers and retailers relating to the misuse of firearms. In addition, in the future there may be increased federal, state or local regulation, including taxation, of the sale of firearms in both our current markets as well as future markets in which we may operate. Commencement of these lawsuits against us or the establishment of new regulations could reduce our net sales, including same stores sales, and decrease our profitability.

If we fail to anticipate changes in consumer preferences, we may experience lower net sales, higher inventory markdowns and lower margins.

     Our products must appeal to a broad range of consumers whose preferences cannot be predicted with certainty. These preferences are also subject to change. Our success depends upon our ability to anticipate and respond in a timely manner to trends in sporting goods merchandise and consumers’ participation in sports. If we fail to identify and respond to these changes, our net sales, including same store sales, may decline. In addition, because we often make commitments to purchase products from our vendors up to six months in advance of the proposed delivery, if we misjudge the market for our merchandise, we may over-stock unpopular products and be forced to take inventory markdowns that could have a negative impact on profitability.

Terrorism and the uncertainty of war may harm our operating results.

     Terrorist attacks or acts of war may cause damage or disruption to us and our employees, facilities, information systems, vendors, and customers, which could significantly impact our net sales (including same store sales), costs and expenses and financial condition. The threat of terrorist attacks since September 11, 2001 continues to create many economic and political uncertainties. The potential for future terrorist attacks, the national and international responses to terrorist attacks and other acts of war or hostility may cause greater uncertainty and cause our business to suffer in ways that we currently cannot predict. Military action taken by the United States and its allies in Iraq or elsewhere could have a short or long term negative economic impact upon the financial markets and our business in general.

Risks Related to Investing in Our Common Stock

The price of our common stock may be volatile.

     The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate widely as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. In addition, the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices of many companies. These broad market fluctuations could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. A significant decline in our stock price could result in substantial

- 25 -


Table of Contents

losses for individual stockholders and could lead to costly and disruptive securities litigation.

Substantial amounts of our common stock could be sold in the near future, which could depress our stock price.

     We cannot predict the effect, if any, that the availability of shares of common stock for sale will have on the market price of our common stock prevailing from time to time. At July 30, 2004, there were 22,670,327 shares of our common stock outstanding, excluding treasury shares. All of these shares are freely transferable without restriction or further registration under the federal securities laws, except for any shares held by our affiliates, sales of which will be limited by Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. Sales of a significant number of these shares of common stock in the public market could reduce the market price of the common stock or our ability to raise capital by offering equity securities.

Our anti-takeover provisions could prevent or delay a change in control of our company, even if such change of control would be beneficial to our stockholders.

     Provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws as well as provisions of Delaware law could discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of our company, even if such change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions include:

  a board of directors that is classified such that only one-third of directors are elected each year;
 
  authorization of the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock that could be issued by our board of directors to increase the number of outstanding shares and thwart a takeover attempt;
 
  limitations on the ability of stockholders to call special meetings of stockholders;
 
  prohibition of stockholder action by written consent and requiring all stockholder actions to be taken at a meeting of our stockholders; and
 
  establishment of advance notice requirements for nominations for election to the board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at stockholder meetings.

     In addition, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporations Law limits business combination transactions with 15% stockholders that have not been approved by the board of directors. These provisions and other similar provisions make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without negotiation. These provisions may apply even if the transaction may be considered beneficial by some stockholders.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

     We are subject to risks resulting from interest rate fluctuations since interest on our borrowings under our revolving credit facility is based on variable rates. If the LIBOR rate were to increase 1.0% in 2004 as compared to the rate at June 27, 2004, our interest expense for 2004 would increase $0.8 million based on the outstanding balance of our revolving credit facility at June 27, 2004. We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in hedging activities.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that (1) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission and (2) this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving an entity’s disclosure objectives. The likelihood of achieving such objectives is affected by limitations inherent in disclosure controls and procedures. These include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal controls can occur because of human failures such as simple errors or mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established process. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Under the supervision and review of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 27, 2004. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that they are alerted in a timely manner to material information regarding us that is required to be included in our periodic reports. In addition, there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls since June 27, 2004, the date as of which our disclosure controls and procedures were last evaluated.

ARTICLE 1. - PREMISES 1.1. DEMISED PREMISES. For and in consideration of the rental hereinafter reserved, and the mutual covenants, agreements and conditions hereinafter contained, Lessor does hereby lease to Lessee and Lessee does hereby rent from Lessor that certain real property commonly known as 7351 McGuire Avenue, City of Fontana, County of San Bernardino, State of California, more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof; together with all easements, rights and appurtenances in connection therewith; together with the buildings and improvements now erected or hereafter to be erected upon the above described real property, including, without limitation, any fixtures and equipment which are an integral part of the buildings and improvements for purposes of their use and operation as an office, warehouse or distribution facility or which cannot be removed without material damage to such buildings and improvements (which, by way of example, shall include all HVAC and mechanical systems, conveyor systems, loading docks, load leveler systems, carpeting and wall coverings). The real property owned by Lessor and leased hereunder does not include, and Lessee shall retain ownership and the right to remove, those items of personal property and trade fixtures that are attached to or used in the buildings and improvements solely for the purpose of Lessee conducting its business therein and which can be removed without material damage to the buildings and improvements (including, without limitation Lessee's satellite communication equipment, music and intercom systems, security systems, and racking systems). Said real property and the building and improvements thereon may hereinafter be called "the Premises" or "the Demised Premises". Said real property exclusive of the building and improvements may hereinafter be called "the Land".

In the event the Department of Labor or United States government alters the calculation or formula by which the C.P.I. is determined, the official replacement index published by either the Department of Labor or the United States government shall be utilized unless the parties mutually agree chat an alternative index should be utilized. In the event there is no official replacement index published the parties hereto covenant and agree to use reasonable, good faith efforts to agree on an 4 Big 5, Fontana, CA 2-12-96 (8) index which most closely approximates the information and data contained in the C.P.I. as of the date of this Lease. 3.3.

FORBIDDEN USES. Lessee shall not suffer any act to be done or any condition to exist on the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, or any article to be brought thereon, which may be dangerous (unless Lessee employs such safeguards as may be required by law or if not provided for by law, then as may be reasonable) or which may, in law, constitute a nuisance, public or private, or which may make void or voidable any insurance required hereunder to be in force with respect to the Demised Premises, or any part thereof. 4.3.

Nothing herein contained shall require Lessee to continuously operate any particular type of business on the Demised Premises or to continuously occupy the Demised Premises.

If such code required alterations are required because of other alterations that Lessee proposes to undertake of the Premises, Lessee shall not undertake such other alterations unless Lessor has first approved the same after taking into consideration the code required alterations that will be required as a result thereof, which approval by Lessor shall not be unreasonably withheld. 4.5. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Lessee covenants to comply, and to cause its employees, agents, licensees, contractors and permitted assignees or sublessee to comply, with all local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations, now or at any time hereafter governing the use, handling, storage, treatment, removal, production, manufacture, transportation or disposal of hazardous or toxic substances or materials on the Demised Premises ("Laws"), and Lessee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses of Lessor), causes of action, suits, claims, demands or judgments of any nature (i) resulting from any spills or discharges of hazardous or toxic substances or materials on the Demised Premises during the Primary Term or any Option Term or during any period prior to the Commencement Date when Lessee was in occupancy of the Premises, caused by any act or omission of Lessee, or (ii) arising out of any failure on the part of Lessee, or its employees, agents, licensees, contractors or permitted assignees or sublessee to comply with all Laws. This indemnity shall include the cost of any required or necessary repair, cleanup or detoxification, and the preparation of any closure or other required plans, whether such action is required or necessary prior to or following the termination of this Lease. Neither the written consent by Lessor to the presence of hazardous or toxic materials or substances on, under or about the Premises nor the strict compliance by Lessee with all Laws shall excuse Lessee from Lessee's obligation of indemnification pursuant hereto. Lessee's obligations pursuant to the foregoing indemnity shall survive the termination of this Lease. Lessee further covenants and agrees to remove any of its hazardous or toxic personal property from the Demised Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

Any consent or approval, express or implied, by Lessor of Lessee's use or handling 7 Big 5, Fontana, CA 2-12-96 (8) of any hazardous or toxic materials or substances shall not constitute an assumption of risk by Lessor regarding such materials or substances or a warranty or certification by Lessor that Lessee's use or handling of such materials or substances is safe or reasonable or in compliance with any Laws.

Lessor shall not have any duty to make any such inspection nor shall it incur any liability or obligation for not making any such inspection. 6.2. ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS. Subject to Lessor's approval of certain alterations, as described hereinafter, Lessee shall have the right 9 Big 5, Fontana, CA 2-12-96 (8) at any time to make (a) such additions, alterations, changes or improvements, in, on or to the Demised Premises as Lessee may deem necessary or proper, provided, however, that (i) any and all such work shall fully comply with all codes and regulations and with other recorded requirements relating to the Demised Premises (such as CC&R's), (ii) except to the extent required of Lessee by any governmental authority, no work done by Lessee shall lessen the market value of the Demised Premises, and (iii) except to the extent required of Lessee by any governmental authority, no work done by Lessee shall diminish Lessor's ability to use and/or release the Demised Premises on the termination or expiration of this Lease.

DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION DURING THE LAST YEAR OF THE TERM. Anything in this Article 7 to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Demised Premises shall be destroyed or damaged so as to materially interfere with Lessee's business in the Premises (as reasonably determined by Lessee using its good faith business judgment) during the last 12 months of the term hereof by reason of any cause, and the Demised Premises cannot be completely restored within a period of sixty (60) working days from the date of commencement of such repairs, this Lease may be terminated upon written notice by either party to the other and any and all insurance proceeds covering the Premises shall be paid to Lessor and insurance proceeds covering Lessee's personal property and trade fixtures shall be paid to Lessee. Provided, however, that if at the time of said destruction or damage, Lessee has exercised an option to extend this Lease pursuant to Article 2 hereof, then this Lease shall not be terminable by either party but shall continue until the expiration of such Option Term and Lessee shall forthwith repair and restore the Demised Premises as required pursuant to Sections 7.2 and 7.5 11 Big 5, Fontana, CA 2-12-96 (8) hereof.

If any portion of the Demised Premises shall be damaged or destroyed by any casualty during any Option Term of this Lease, and the Premises cannot reasonably be expected to be completely restored within three hundred sixty five (365) days of the date of such loss, then Lessee may elect to restore or rebuild the Demised Premises in the manner set forth in Section 7.2 and 7.5 or Lessee may, within ninety (90) days after such loss or damage give to Lessor a thirty (30) day notice, in writing, cancelling and terminating the Option Term then in effect.

TOTAL OR SUBSTANTIAL TAKING. If during the Primary Term of this Lease: 8.2.1. the entire Demised Premises shall be taken by condemnation or other eminent domain proceedings pursuant to any law, general or special, or 8.2.2. any substantial portion of the Demised Premises which is sufficient in Lessee's reasonable and good faith judgment to render the remaining portion thereof unsuitable for Lessee's continued use or occupancy of the Demised Premises shall be taken by such proceedings, then Lessee may, within thirty (30) days after any such taking, give notice to Lessor of its intention to terminate this Lease on any rental payment day specified in such notice which occurs not less than ninety (90) days after such notice. 8.3. PARTIAL TAKING. If a portion of the Demised Premises shall be taken by condemnation or other eminent domain proceedings pursuant to any law, general or special, which taking is not sufficient to require Lessee to give notice of its intention to terminate this Lease as provided in Section 8.2, then this Lease shall continue in full effect without abatement or reduction of rent (except as provided hereinafter in this Section 8.3), additional rent or other sums payable by Lessee hereunder notwithstanding such taking, and Lessee shall, promptly after any such taking and at its expense, repair any damage caused by any such taking in conformity with the requirements of Section 7.2 so that after the completion of such repairs the Demised Premises shall be, as nearly as practicable in a condition as good as the condition thereof immediately prior to such taking. In the event of any such taking by condemnation or other eminent domain proceedings, Lessee shall be entitled to receive all of the award payable in connection with such taking. If the cost of any repairs required to be made by Lessee pursuant to this Section 8.3, shall exceed the amount of the award, the deficiency shall be paid by Lessee. Subject to Lessee's rights to receive all awards for reconstruction of the improvements, any award granted and allocated to Lessor's interest in the Demised Premises shall be paid to Lessor and Lessee shall be entitled to an equitable abatement of rent based upon the extent of the Premises taken and the adverse effect on Lessee's ability to use and enjoy the Premises following such taking. 8.4. CONDEMNATION DURING OPTION TERMS. Not Used. 8.5. TAKING DEFINED. For the purposes of this Lease, all amounts payable pursuant to any agreement with any condemning authority which has been made in settlement of or under threat of any 13 Big 5, Fontana, CA 2-12-96 (8) condemnation or other eminent domain proceeding affecting the Demised Premises shall be deemed to constitute an award made in such proceeding. ARTICLE 9. - INSURANCE 9.1. NATURE OF INSURANCE. Lessee will at all times maintain insurance on the Demised Premises of the following character: 9.1.1. Insurance against loss or damage by fire and other risks from time to time included under so-called "all-risk", including extended coverage endorsements and boiler and machinery comprehensive coverage, standard for use in the State of California, and also including earthquake and flood coverage, in amounts equal to the full replacement value of the Demised Premises, reviewed annually. As used herein, "full replacement value" shall mean actual replacement cost (exclusive of the cost of excavation, foundations and subsurface footing) without deduction for physical depreciation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 9, in the event Lessee's net worth is at any time less than Twenty Million and no/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00), Lessee shall provide for the insurance required pursuant to this Section 9.1.1 to have a deductible for earthquake coverage of no greater than twelve and 5/100 percent (12.5%) of the value of the property required to be insured and for all other insurance required hereunder, a deductible of no greater than Seventy Five Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($75,000.00) per occurrence. So long as Lessee's net worth exceeds Twenty Million and no/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00), any deductible amounts shall be subject to the self-insurance limits set forth in section 9.1.3, hereinafter. In the event this Lease is terminated pursuant to the provisions of Sections 7.4 or 7.6, above, Lessee's obligation to pay insurance proceeds to Lessor shall include the amounts of any deductible and/or any self-insured retention amounts. 9.1.2. Commercial general liability insurance against claims for bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about the Demised Premises and the adjoining streets, sidewalks and passageways, such insurance to afford protection of not less than a combined single limit liability of Five Million and no/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), providing coverage for, among other things, blanket contractual liability, premises and personal injury coverage, with the deletion of railroad track (railroad protective liability), if applicable, and the exclusion for explosion, collapse or underground hazard, if applicable. In no event shall the liability amount be less than Five Million and no/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00). Said minimum limit of liability shall be subject to periodic adjustment (but no more frequently than once every five years), so as to conform with standard industry practice for similar properties in similar geographic locations. Any such adjustment must be reasonably approved by Lessee and documented by written amendment to this Lease. 14 Big 5, Fontana, CA 2-12-96 (8) 9.1.3. Such insurance shall be written by companies licensed to do business in the State of California and with a general policy holder's rating of at lease B+ and a financial rating of at least X in the most current "Best Insurance Report" (or its equivalent replacement should such report cease to be issued) or as otherwise reasonably approved by Lessor, as available on the Commencement Date and annually thereafter. Such insurance shall (i) name as the insured parties thereunder Lessee, the Lessor and Bristol Group, Inc., as their interests may appear; (ii) shall contain an endorsement that such insurance shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that the insured may have waived its right of action against any party prior to the occurrence of a loss; (iii) shall, to the extent commercially available, contain an endorsement prohibiting cancellation, failure to renew, reduction of amount of insurance or change in coverage without the insurer's first giving Lessor thirty (30) days prior written notice of such proposed action; (iv) provide that any insurer issuing liability insurance waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, and their respective shareholders, partners, beneficial owners, agents, employees and representatives in connection with any loss or damage covered by such insurance; (v) be primary and non contributory, and (vi) comply with any other requirements set forth in this Article 9. Such insurance may be obtained by Lessee by endorsement on its blanket insurance policies, provided that such blanket policies satisfy the requirements specified above in this Section. Lessee may carry all or any part of such insurance: a. (i) under any plan of self-insurance which it may from time to time have in force and effect, with a self-insured retention of up to Five Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) (except any earthquake deductible may be up to twelve and 5/100 percent (12.5%) of the value of the property required to be insured) so long as Lessee's net worth exceeds Twenty Million and no/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00) (which self-insured retention may be increased by Lessee to Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($750,000.00) so long as Lessee's net worth exceeds Thirty Five Million and no/100 Dollars ($35,000,000.00) and to One Million and no/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) so long as Lessee's net worth exceeds Fifty Million and no/100 Dollars ($50,000,000.00), provided that in no event shall Lessee's self insured retention exceed the sum of One Million and no/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00), or (ii) under a "blanket" policy or policies covering other liabilities of Lessee and its subsidiaries, controlling or affiliated corporations, or b. partly under such a plan of self-insurance and partly under such "blanket" policies. 15 Big 5, Fontana, CA 2-12-96 (8) Lessor shall not be required to prosecute any claim against any insurer or to contest any settlement proposed by any insurer, provided that Lessee may, at its cost and expense, prosecute any such claim or contest any such settlement, and in such event Lessee may bring any such prosecution or contest in the name of Lessor, Lessee or both, and Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee and will join therein at Lessee's written request upon receipt by Lessor of an indemnity from Lessee against all costs, liabilities and expenses in connection with such cooperation, prosecution or contest. 9.2. ADJUSTMENT OF CLAIMS. Insurance claims by reason of damage or destruction to any portion of any Demised Premises shall be adjusted by and at the cost of Lessee, provided, however, that if the loss shall be in excess of One Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), no final adjustment shall be made with the insurance company or companies, without the written approval of Lessor of the amount of the adjustment. 9.3. ENDORSEMENT IN FAVOR OF LENDER. Upon thirty (30) days advance written notice from Lessor, each such insurance policy (other than liability insurance policies) maintained pursuant to this Section shall, to the extent available, bear a standard first mortgagee endorsement in favor of any lender holding a first deed of trust on the Demised Premises (hereinafter called "Lender"), but, notwithstanding such endorsement, each payment for a single loss which does not exceed One Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) shall be made directly to Lessee, and all other loss under any such policy shall be made payable to Lender, but recoveries under any such policies received by Lender shall be paid to Lessee for the repair and restoration of the Demised Premises as provided in Sections 7.2 or 7.4 of this Lease. Every such policy shall provide that the issuer thereof waives all rights of subrogation against Lessee, Lessor, any successor to Lessor's interest in the Demised Premises, that ten (10) days' prior written notice of cancellation shall be given to Lessor and Lender and that such insurance, as to the interest of Lender therein, shall not be invalidated by any act or neglect of Lessor or Lessee or any owner of the Demised Premises, nor by any foreclosure or any other proceedings or notices thereof relating to the Demised Premises, nor by any change in the title or ownership of the Demised Premises, nor by occupancy of the Demised Premises for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by such policy. 9.4. CERTIFICATES OF INSURANCE. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor promptly after the execution and delivery of this Lease certificates of insurance evidencing all the insurance which is required to be maintained by Lessee hereunder, and Lessee shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such insurance, deliver certificates of insurance evidencing the renewal of such insurance. Should Lessee fail to maintain or renew any insurance provided for in this Section, or to deliver to Lessor any of such policies or certificates, Lessor at its option, but without obligation so to 16 Big 5, Fontana, CA 2-12-96 (8) do, may upon fifteen (15) days' notice to Lessee, procure such insurance, and any sums expended by it to procure such insurance shall be additional rent hereunder and shall be repaid by Lessee within ten (10) days following the date on which demand therefor shall be made by Lessor. ARTICLE 10. - INDEMNIFICATION 10.1. Lessee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lessor harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses of Lessee and Lessor), causes of action, suits, claims, demands or judgments of any nature arising from: 10.1.1. any injury to, or the death of, any person or any damage to property on the Demised Premises or upon adjoining sidewalks or streets, or in any manner growing out of or connected with the use, nonuse, condition or occupancy of the Demised Premises or the construction or repair of any improvements on the Demised Premises, or resulting from the condition of adjoining sidewalks or streets, 10.1.2. violation of any agreement or condition of this Lease and of any contracts or agreements of which Lessee has notice, or which shall have existed at the commencement of this Lease or which shall have been approved by Lessee, and of any restrictions, laws, ordinances or regulations affecting the Demised Premises or the occupancy or use thereof, 10.1.3. any encroachment of improvements on the Demised Premises upon property adjoining the Demised Premises, and 10.1.4. any contest permitted by Section 12.2. ARTICLE 11. - LIENS 11.1. Lessee will not permit to remain, and will promptly discharge, at its cost and expense, all liens (other than liens created by Lessor) upon the Demised Premises; provided that the existence of any mechanic's, laborer's, materialman's, supplier's or vendor's lien or right thereto shall not constitute a violation of this Section if payment is not yet due under the contract which is the foundation thereof. Lessor is hereby given authority to enter upon the Demised Premises at any time to post any notices which in its opinion shall be necessary to hold Lessor harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any work done on the Demised Premises. Notice is hereby given that Lessor will not be liable for any labor, services or materials furnished or to be furnished to Lessee, or to anyone holding the Demised Premises through or under Lessee, and that no mechanic's or other such lien for any such labor or materials shall attach to or affect the interest of Lessor in and to the Demised Premises. 17 Big 5, Fontana, CA 2-12-96 (8) ARTICLE 12. - ADVANCES BY LESSOR: PERMITTED CONTESTS 12.1. ADVANCES. If Lessee shall fail to make any payment or perform any act on its part to be made or performed under this Lease, then, subject to the provisions of Section 12.2 hereof, Lessor may (but shall not be obligated to), upon fifteen (15) days written notice to Lessee and without waiving any default or releasing Lessee from any obligation, make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the cost and expense of Lessee. All sums so paid by Lessor and all necessary and incidental costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred in connection therewith, together with interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date of the making of such payment by Lessor, shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor, on demand. 12.2. PERMITTED CONTESTS. Lessee shall not be required to pay any tax, assessment, levy, fee, rent or charge or to discharge or remove any lien, encumbrance or charge or to comply with any law, rule, order, regulation and ordinance, so long as Lessee shall contest, in good faith and at its cost and expense, the amount or validity thereof, by appropriate proceedings which shall operate during the pendency thereof to prevent the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Demised Premises or any part thereof. While any such proceedings are pending, Lessor shall not have the right to pay, remove, cause to be discharged or comply with the tax, assessment, levy, fee, rent, charge, lien, encumbrance, law, rule, order, regulation or ordinance being contested. Each such contest shall be promptly prosecuted to a final conclusion, and Lessee will pay, and save Lessor harmless against all losses, judgments and costs (including attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection therewith, and will, promptly after the final determination of such contest, pay and discharge the amounts which shall be levied, assessed or imposed or determined to be payable therein, together with all penalties, fines, interests, costs and expenses thereon or in connection therewith. No such contest shall subject Lessor to risk of any criminal liability, and Lessee shall give reasonable security to Lessor as may be demanded by Lessor to insure payment of or compliance with any tax, assessment, levy, fee, rent, charge, lien, encumbrance, law, rule, order, regulation or ordinance contested as provided in this Section and to prevent any such sale or forfeiture. ARTICLE 13. - CONDITIONAL LIMITATIONS; EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES 13.1 DEFAULT. Any of the following occurrences, following the below described notices and opportunities to cure, shall constitute an event of default ("Event of Default") under this Lease: 13.1.1. if Lessee shall: a. fail to make any payment of rent, or other sum herein required to be paid by Lessee and such failure shall continue for ten (10) days after Lessor shall have given written notice of such non-payment to Lessee, or 18 Big 5, Fontana, CA 2-12-96 (8) b. fail to substantially perform any of Lessee's other covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after Lessor shall have given written notice to Lessee specifying such failure or, if such default cannot be cured by the payment of money and cannot with due diligence be cured within such thirty (30) day period, if Lessee shall fail to proceed promptly to cure the same and thereafter prosecute the curing of such default with diligence, or 13.1.2. if Lessee shall file a petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization or for an arrangement pursuant to any present or future federal bankruptcy act or under any similar federal or state law, or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent or shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or if a petition or answer proposing the adjudication of Lessee as a bankrupt or its reorganization under any present or future federal bankruptcy act or any similar federal or state law shall be filed in any court and such petition or answer shall not be discharged or denied within ninety (90) days after the filing thereof, or 13.1.3. if Lessee shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or if a receiver, trustee or liquidator of Lessee or of all or substantially all of Lessee's assets or of Lessee's interest in the Demised Premises shall be appointed in any proceeding brought by Lessee, or if any such receiver, trustee or liquidator shall be appointed in any proceeding brought against Lessee and shall not be discharged within ninety (90) days after such appointment or if Lessee shall consent to or acquiesce in such appointment. 13.1.4. If Lessee shall furnish financial statements to Lessor that are known to Lessee to be false or misleading. 13.2. LESSOR'S OPTION TO TERMINATE. In the event of a default of Lessee, Lessor shall have the right, at its election, then or thereafter while any such event of default shall continue and notwithstanding the fact that Lessor may have some other remedy hereunder or at law or in equity, to give Lessee written notice of Lessor's intention to terminate the term of this Lease on a date specified in such notice, which shall be not less than thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice, and upon the date so specified, the term of this Lease and the estate hereby granted shall expire and terminate and all rights of Lessee hereunder shall expire and terminate. In lieu of terminating this Lease, Lessor may elect to continue this Lease, in which event Lessor shall have the immediate right of re-entry and possession of the Demised Premises and the right to remove all persons and property therefrom. Should Lessor elect to re-enter as herein provided or should Lessor take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, Lessor may from time to time re-let the Demised Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms and at such rental or rentals and 19 Big 5, Fontana, CA 2-12-96 (8) upon such terms and conditions as Lessor may deem advisable, with the right to make repairs and alterations to the Demised Premises. 13.3. RECOVERY OF DAMAGE; TERMINATION OF LEASE. In the event of any termination of the term of this Lease as provided in this Article Lessee shall quit and surrender the Demised Premises to Lessor, and Lessor may without further notice re-enter and repossess the same by summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and in any such event neither Lessee nor any person, claiming through or under Lessee shall be entitled to possession or to remain in possession of the Demised Premises but shall forthwith quit and surrender the Demised Premises. Upon such termination, Lessor may recover from Lessee: (a) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent 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 which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; (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 Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and (d) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by Lessee's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom. The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts referred to in (a) and (b) above is computed by allowing interest at an annual interest rate of ten percent (10%). The "worth at the time of award" of the amount referred to in (c) above 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%). Nothing herein contained shall limit or prejudice the right of Lessor, in any bankruptcy or reorganization or insolvency proceeding, to prove for and obtain by reason of such termination an amount to the maximum allowed by any bankruptcy or reorganization or insolvency proceedings, or to prove for and obtain by reason of such termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law whether such amount shall be greater or less than the excess referred to above. In the event that Lessee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, exercises an option to extend the term of this Lease pursuant to Section 2.2 and at the time of commencement of the Option Term an Event of Default exists hereunder but not an Event of Default giving Lessor the right to terminate the option and cancel Lessee's exercise thereof pursuant to Section 2.2, then, for purposes of the preceding clause (d) of this Section 13.3, Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee any consequential damages arising out of or in connection with Lessor's inability to terminate such option and recover possession of the Demised Premises at the expiration of the Primary Term or any then-existing Option Term, as the case may be. 13.4. EXPENSES OF LESSOR; CONTINUATION OF LEASE. If Lessor shall re-enter and obtain possession of the Demised Premises following an event of default, and elect to continue this Lease, Lessor shall 20 Big 5, Fontana, CA 2-12-96 (8) have the right, without notice, to repair or alter the Demised Premises in such manner as Lessor deems necessary or advisable so as to put the Demised Premises in good order and to make the same rentable, and shall have the right, at Lessor's option, to re-let the Demised Premises or any part thereof. Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor on demand all expenses incurred by Lessor in obtaining possession, and in altering, repairing and putting the Demised Premises in good order and condition, and in reletting the same, including fees of attorneys and architects, and all other reasonable expenses or commissions, and Lessee further agrees to pay to Lessor upon the rental payment dates following the date of such re-entry until the expiration of the term of this Lease the sums of money which would have been payable by Lessee as rent hereunder on said rental payment dates if Lessor had not re-entered and resumed possession of the Demised Premises deducting only the net amount of rent, if any, which Lessor shall actually receive (after deducting from the gross receipts the expenses, costs and payments of Lessor which in accordance with the terms of this Lease would have been borne by Lessee) in the meantime from and by any reletting of the Demised Premises. In addition, Lessee shall remain liable for all sums otherwise payable by Lessee under this Lease, and Lessor shall have the right from time to time to bring successive actions or other legal proceedings against Lessee for the recovery of such deficiency or expenses. The liability of Lessee herein provided shall survive the commencement of any action to secure possession of the Demised Premises. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Lessor to wait to commence such action or other legal proceedings until the date when this Lease would have expired had there been no such event of default. 13.5. ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF LESSOR. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Lessor is intended to be exclusive of any right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law unless otherwise provided herein. The failure of Lessor to insist at any time upon the strict performance of any covenant or agreement or to exercise any right, power or remedy contained in this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment thereof for the future. The receipt by Lessor of any rent or other sum payable hereunder with knowledge of the breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by Lessor of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by Lessor. Lessor shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by law, to injunctive relief in case of the violation, or threatened violation, of any covenant, agreement, condition or provision of this Lease or to any other remedy allowed to Lessor by law. 13.6. ATTORNEYS' FEES AND OTHER EXPENSES. If Lessee shall be in default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease and an action shall be brought for the enforcement thereof in which it shall be determined that Lessee was in default, Lessee shall pay to 21 Big 5, Fontana, CA 2-12-96 (8) Lessor the expenses incurred in connection therewith including reasonable attorneys' fees. If Lessor shall without fault on its part be made a party to any litigation commenced against Lessee, and if Lessee shall not provide Lessor with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, Lessee shall pay all costs and attorneys' fees incurred or paid by Lessor in connection with such litigation. Lessor and lessee agree to cooperate with each other in a timely manner on the selection of counsel to represent Lessor. ARTICLE 14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING 14.1. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.2, above, relating to the option terms of this Lease being personal to Lessee and subject to the provisions of Section 4.1, above, relating to the restrictions on the use of the Demised Premises, Lessee may sublet up to eighty percent (80%) of the Demised Premises or any part thereof, or may assign its interest under this Lease, provided that each assignment or sublease shall expressly be made subject to the provisions of this Lease and further provided that Lessee shall remain primarily liable under the terms of this Lease. No assignment or sublease made as permitted by this Section shall affect or reduce any obligations of Lessee or rights of Lessor hereunder. Any assignment or subletting of the Premises during or for any Option Term shall be subject to the provisions of Section 14.3, hereinafter. 14.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding the provisions and restrictions with respect to options as set for in Section 2.2, above, Lessee may freely assign, sublease or transfer this Lease (i) to any corporation which owns or controls Lessee, (ii) to any corporation owned or controlled by Lessee, (iii) to any corporation owned or controlled by, or which is an Affiliate of any corporation which owns or controls Lessee, (iv) to any corporation resulting from a consolidation or to the surviving corporation in case of a merger, to which consolidation or merger Lessee shall be a party, or (v) to a corporation to which all or substantially all of the assets of Lessee have been sold (any such entity referred to in (i) through (v) above being herein referred to as an "Affiliate"). 14.3. If, during any Option Term Lessee desires to assign the Lease Lessee shall give Lessor written notice of such intent, accompanied by the identity of the proposed assignee and such other information as lessor may reasonably request and which is in the possession of Lessee. Lessor shall then have a period of twenty (20) days following receipt of such notice and information within which to notify Lessee in writing that Lessor elects either (i) to terminate this Lease as of the date specified by Lessee in the information provided to Lessor, in which event Lessee shall be relieved of all liabilities hereunder except the liability to pay rent up to the date of such termination and any accrued charges, costs and expenses required to be paid by Lessee hereunder up to the date of such termination, and any other liabilities Lessee may have hereunder, including, without limitation, any indemnity obligations arising prior to such termination, or (ii) to permit such assignment, which 22 Big 5, Fontana, CA 2-12-96 (8) permission shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event Lessee sublets the Premises for occupancy during an Option Term and such sublet provides for a rental stream in excess of that payable by Lessor to Lessee hereunder, than seventy five percent (75%) of such "profits" (being defined as all income received by Lessee from a subtenant in excess of remodel, brokerage and other similar costs incurred in connection with the transaction) shall be payable to Lessor and the remaining twenty five percent (25%) shall be paid to Lessee. In the event Lessee sublets the Premises for occupancy during an Option Term and such sublet covers fifty one percent (51%) or more of the Demised Premises, such sublet shall be deemed an assignment for purposes of this Section 14.3 and subject to Lessor's right to either permit the subletting or terminate this Lease. The provisions of this Section 14.3 shall not apply in connection with any subletting by Lessee (i) to any corporation which owns or controls Lessee, (ii) to any corporation owned or controlled by Lessee, (iii) to any corporation owned or controlled by or affiliated with any corporation which owns or controls Lessee, (iv) to any corporation resulting from a consolidation or to the surviving corporation in case of a merger, to which consolidation or merger Lessee shall be a party, or (v) to a corporation to which all or substantially all of the assets of Lessee have been sold (any such entity referred to in (i) through (v) above being herein referred to as an "Affiliate"). ARTICLE 15. - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 15.1. SUBORDINATION. In the event the Demised Premises are subject to one or more mortgages or deeds of trust, Lessor agrees to deliver to Lessee on or before the commencement of the term of this Lease a Non-Disturbance, Attornment and Subordination Agreement executed by each such mortgagee or holder of said deed of trust in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. If Lessor fails to deliver said Agreement to Lessee prior to the commencement of the term hereof, Lessee may, at its option, defer the payment of any and all rental due hereunder until said Agreement is delivered to Lessee. During such period of deferral, said rental shall accrue without interest. Lessee shall pay such accrued rent in full to Lessor within fifteen (15) days after Lessee's receipt of said Agreement in recordable form fully executed by each such Beneficiary. 15.1.1. Lessee covenants that it will execute an agreement subordinating this Lease to any mortgage or deed of trust subsequently placed upon the Demised Premises in either the form attached hereto as Exhibit C or in such other form as may be requested by Lessor's mortgagee provided such other form in no way increases Lessee's liabilities or obligations hereunder or diminishes Lessee's rights hereunder. Lessor covenants that it will execute an agreement setting forth certain information regarding this Lease, as well as acknowledging certain rights of Lessee and any lender of Lessee, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. 23 Big 5, Fontana, CA 2-12-96 (8) 15.1.2. From time to time (but not more than twice in any calendar year) upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice which shall be accompanied by a form of estoppel statement, each party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a statement in writing: a. certifying that this Lease is unmodified (except for any amendments specifically stated) and in full force and effect (or, if modified, that the same is in full force and effect as modified), b. setting forth the date of termination of the term of this Lease and the status of the exercise of any Option Terms, c. setting forth the then currently scheduled monthly rent payable under the Lease and the date to or through which rent has been paid, d. acknowledging that there are not, to such party's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of the other hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and e. acknowledging that such party has no claims or offsets against the other party, or specifying such claims or offsets if any are claimed. In addition to the foregoing, Lessee covenants and agrees to use good faith efforts to cooperate with Lessor in providing any additional information relating to the status of the Lease reasonably requested in connection with such estoppel. Any such estoppel statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the real property of which the Demised Premises are a part. 15.2. NO MERGER. There shall be no merger of this Lease or of the leasehold estate hereby created with the fee estate in the Demised Premises or any part thereof by reason of the fact that the same person may acquire or hold, directly or indirectly, all or part of such fee estate and this Lease or the leasehold estate hereby created or any interest in this Lease, and this Lease shall not be terminated for any cause except as expressly provided in this Lease. 15.3. SURRENDER. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Lessee shall surrender the Demised Premises to Lessor in the same condition in which the Demised Premises was originally received from Lessor except as repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered or added to, as permitted by any provision of this Lease, and except for ordinary wear, tear or obsolescence. Lessee shall remove from the Demised Premises on or prior to such expiration or earlier termination all property situated thereon which is not owned by Lessor, and at its cost and expense shall repair any damage caused by such removal.

LOCAL LAW TO APPLY. This Lease is governed by the law of the State of California and any question arising hereunder shall be construed or determined according to such law. 15.9. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence of this Lease. 15.10. No Waiver. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of Lessor on any default by Lessee shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. No act or conduct of Lessor, including, without limitation, the acceptance of the keys to the Premises, shall constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises by Lessee before the expiration date of the Term. Only a notice from Lessor to Lessee shall constitute acceptance of the surrender of the Premises and accomplish a termination of the Lease. Lessor's consent to or approval of any act by Lessee requiring Lessor's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Lessor's consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Lessee. 15.11. LIABILITY OF LESSOR AND RELEASE. In the event of any sale of the Demised Premises by Lessor, Lessor shall be and is hereby entirely freed and relieved of all liability under any and all of its covenants and obligations contained in or derived from this Lease arising out of any act, occurrence or omission occurring after the consummation of such sale. Lessor agrees to deliver to Lessee an agreement signed by any person or persons who may purchase all of any part of Lessor's interest in the Demised Premises, which agreement shall formally recognize and accept all of Lessor's obligations, responsibilities and duties hereunder occurring from and after the date of the sale. Lessor's liability hereunder, including any liability of Lessor prior to any transfer of the Premises, shall be limited to Lessor's interest in the Premises, not to exceed Ten Million and no/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00), including, without limitation, any and all income produced therefrom and the proceeds of any sale and the proceeds of any insurance policies which cover all or any of the Premises up to, but not in excess of Ten Million and no/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00). At no time shall Lessor, nor any trustee, officer, director, shareholder, partner, agent, representative or holder of any beneficial interest in Lessor have or incur any personal liability whatsoever with respect to this Lease. 15.12. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Lessee will, upon request of Lessor (but not more frequently than once per annum), provide its most current audited financial statements to Lessor prepared under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and signed by either an officer of Lessee or by a representative of a nationally accepted accounting firm. 26 Big 5, Fontana, CA 2-12-96 (8) 15.13. LATE CHARGE. If Lessee fails to pay any rent or additional charges when due, and such failure occurs more than one time in any calendar year, then, if for any subsequent late payments during such calendar year, such unpaid amounts shall be subject to a late payment charge equal to five percent (5%) of the unpaid amounts in each instance. The late payment charge has been agreed upon by Lessor and Lessee, after negotiation, as liquidated damages and a reasonable estimate of the additional administrative costs and detriment that will be incurred by Lessor as a result of any such failure to pay by Lessee, the actual costs thereof being extremely difficult if not impossible to determine. 15.14. LESSOR'S RIGHT TO PERFORM AND RIGHT TO ENTER. In connection with Lessor's right to enter the Premises to determine whether Lessee is complying with its obligations under Section 4.5, Lessor shall have the right to inspect the Premises, upon reasonable prior notice to Lessee and provided such inspection can be completed without interference to Lessee's use and enjoyment of the Premises. Lessor reserves for itself and its agents the right to enter the Demised Premises at all reasonable times, and upon reasonable prior notice to Lessee, to inspect the Demised Premises, to show the Demised Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees, beneficiaries, to post notices of non-responsibility, to determine whether Lessee is complying with its obligations under this Lease, and to perform any obligations, if any, required hereunder on the part of Lessor. Lessee hereby waives any claim for damages for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Lessee's business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Demised Premises, any right to abatement of rental or additional charges, or any other loss occasioned by Lessor's exercise of any of its rights under this Section 15.15 provided Lessor shall act diligently and use its best efforts to minimize any interferences with, or interruption of, Lessee's business. 15.15. LESSEE'S QUITCLAIM. upon Lessee's receipt of the written request of Lessor after the expiration of the Lease and any extensions thereof, or upon the earlier termination thereof as provided herein, Lessee shall execute in recordable form and deliver to Lessor a quitclaim deed in favor of Lessor conveying all of Lessee's right, title and interest in and to the Demised Premises as defined herein. 15.16. INVALIDITY. In the event that any provision of this Lease shall be held invalid, void, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not be construed to have any effect on, impair or invalidate the remaining provisions of this Lease which shall remain in full force and effect. 15.17. HOLD OVER. Should Lessee hold over the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, after the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease, unless otherwise agreed to in writing, such holding over shall constitute and be construed as a tenancy from month to month only, cancellable upon thirty (30) days written 27 Big 5, Fontana, CA 2-12-96 (8) notice. All obligations and duties imposed by this Lease upon Lessor and Lessee shall remain the same during any such period of occupancy, with the exception that the minimum rent for such hold over tenancy shall be increased to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the minimum rent during the last year of the term or extended term hereof. Acceptance of rental by Lessor shall not result in a renewal of this Lease. If Lessee fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration of this Lease despite demand to do so by Lessor, Lessee shall be liable for losses directly incurred by Lessor in connection with such holding over. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Lessor and Lessee have executed this Lease as of the day and year first above written.

It is anticipated by the parties that on or before June 1, 2004 (the "ACQUISITION OUTSIDE DATE"), Landlord will cause all of the following events (herein referred to collectively as the "LAND ACQUISITION") to occur: (i) acquisition by Landlord of fee simple title to the Larger Parcel (including the Land) from the current owner thereof, as evidenced by the recordation of a grant deed in favor of Landlord for the Larger Parcel (including the Land) in the official records of the county in which the Premises are located (the "OFFICIAL RECORDS"); and (ii) recordation of the Memorandum of Lease (as defined in Paragraph 20.2 below) in the Official Records immediately following the recordation of such grant deed. It is also anticipated by the parties that on or before October 1, 2004 (the "SUBDIVISION OUTSIDE DATE"), Landlord will cause all of the following events (hereinafter referred to collectively as the "SUBDIVISION") to occur: (A) the subdivision of the Land from the Larger Parcel into a legally subdivided parcel pursuant to a final parcel map recorded in the Official Records, which final parcel map shall be based upon and substantially in accordance with that certain proposed final parcel map no. 31139-1 (the "PROPOSED FINAL MAP") on which the Land is depicted as Parcel 1 thereof (a copy of which -1- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA Proposed Final Map is attached hereto as Exhibit B-2), and subject only to the conditions for such subdivision as set forth on the Proposed Final Map (which conditions Landlord shall satisfy and cause to be deleted, at its expense, prior to recordation of such final parcel map); (B) subject to the following provisions of this Recital B, recordation in the Official Records of a memorandum of lease amendment (the "MEMORANDUM OF LEASE AMENDMENT") to be executed by the parties as provided in Paragraph 20.2 below, which modifies the Memorandum of Lease to (1) reflect that the subdivision of the Land from the Larger Parcel has occurred, and (2) attach thereto the legal description of the Land, as so subdivided, as the land component of the Premises; and (C) receipt by Tenant of the Leasehold Title Policy or Leasehold Title Commitment for the Premises, as the case may be, as defined in and pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 3.3 below. It is currently contemplated by the parties that the Land Acquisition will occur prior to the Subdivision, but in the event Landlord causes the Land Acquisition and Subdivision to occur concurrently, then notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Recital B to the contrary, (1) the parties shall not record the Memorandum of Lease Amendment, and (2) prior to recordation of the Memorandum of Lease, a modified version of the Memorandum of Lease shall be executed by the parties and delivered to the escrow holder described in Paragraph 20.2 below in substitution for the originally executed Memorandum of Lease in order to eliminate references to the Larger Parcel and such Subdivision and to reference and attach thereto as an exhibit the legal description of the Land, as so subdivided, as the land component of the Premises. If Landlord fails to either (x) effect the Land Acquisition by the Acquisition Outside Date, as evidenced by written notice thereof (together with conformed copies of the recorded grant deed of the Larger Parcel, including the Land, in favor of Landlord and the recorded Memorandum of Lease) delivered by Landlord to Tenant on or before such Acquisition Outside Date, or (y) effect the Subdivision by the Subdivision Outside Date, as evidenced by written notice thereof together with conformed copies of the recorded final parcel map subdividing the Land from the Larger Parcel, and the recorded Memorandum of Lease Amendment (if applicable), then, in either such case, and in addition to Tenant's other rights and remedies set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall have the rights set forth in Paragraph 1.5 below. ARTICLE 1: TERM. 1.1 Commencement Date. The term of this Lease (the "TERM") shall be for a period of approximately ten (10) years commencing upon the Commencement Date (as defined hereinbelow), and expiring upon the date (the "EXPIRATION DATE") that is the last day of the calendar month which is ten (10) years after the Commencement Date, unless extended or sooner terminated as provided in this Lease. The "COMMENCEMENT DATE" shall be the date that is the earlier of: (i) the later of (A) January 1, 2005, and (B) that date which is ninety (90) days after the date (the "DELIVERY DATE") Landlord delivers to Tenant possession of the Premises in the Delivery Condition (as defined in Paragraph 1.4.1 below), subject, however to acceleration (but not before January 1, 2005) due to Tenant Delays (as defined and provided in Paragraph 6 of Exhibit C) and/or extension and postponement as provided in Paragraph 1.2 below; or (ii) the date Tenant actually commences its ordinary business operations in the Building (which shall be subject to Tenant obtaining all applicable licenses therefor required by Applicable Laws, as defined in Paragraph 1.2 below). For purposes of this Paragraph 1.1, Tenant shall be considered to have commenced its ordinary business operations in the Building when it has personnel and inventory on-site within the Building and is able to commence distribution of that inventory from the Building. Accordingly, the mere fact that Tenant has commenced the storage of inventory at -2- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA the Premises shall not be considered the commencement of its ordinary business operations in the Building. Landlord shall give Tenant thirty (30) days' advance notice of the date possession of the Premises shall be delivered to Tenant in the Delivery Condition. Said delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition shall be made in full compliance with the terms and conditions of Article 3 of this Lease and Exhibit C attached hereto. 1.2 Fixturization Period. During such ninety (90) day period set forth in Paragraph 1.1 above (the "FIXTURIZATION PERIOD"), Tenant intends to install certain "Fixturization Work" within the Building, as defined and described in Exhibit C attached hereto, and in connection with the installation of the Fixturization Work: (i) Tenant shall have uninterrupted access to the Building and Premises to install the Fixturization Work during the Fixturization Period, subject, however, to Landlord's rights of access as are reasonably necessary for Landlord to complete Landlord's Work and make the Premises Ready for Occupancy (as defined in Paragraph 1.4.2 below) during the ninety (90) day period immediately following the Delivery Date; and (ii) Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at no cost to Landlord, to assist Tenant in obtaining (at Tenant's expense) all governmental permits and approvals for such Fixturization Work (including, without limitation, racking permits, applicable fire department approvals and permits for Tenant's proposed guns and ammunition areas in the Building). If Tenant's installation of the Fixturization Work and/or commencement of Tenant's ordinary business operations in the Building following delivery of possession thereof to Tenant in the Delivery Condition shall be delayed by reason of any Landlord Delays (as defined in Paragraph 1.3 below), then the Fixturization Period shall be extended and accordingly the Commencement Date of the Term of this Lease shall be postponed for a period equal to the duration of such Landlord Delays. In the event any of such Landlord Delays delay Tenant's commencement of business operations in the Building for a period beyond the date which is eighteen (18) months after the date of execution of this Lease (the "OUTSIDE OPERATIONS DATE"), Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice delivered to Landlord within sixty (60) days after the Outside Operations Date, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive from Landlord the Tenant Termination Payment as defined in and pursuant to Paragraph 1.5.5 below. 1.3 Landlord Delays. As used herein, "LANDLORD DELAYS" shall mean any delays in the installation of the Fixturization Work, and/or the commencement of Tenant's ordinary business operations in the Building following delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition, actually caused by any of the following (but only to the extent such delays are not caused by Tenant Delays or Force Majeure Delays, as defined in Paragraph 1.5.4 below): (i) Landlord's failure or refusal to (A) give authorizations, approvals or disapprovals within the time periods required under this Lease or Exhibit C, (B) disburse and/or pay when due the cost of Landlord's Work required to be paid for by Landlord (including disbursement of the Tenant Improvement Allowance) in accordance with Exhibit C, or (C) otherwise comply with the time deadlines and/or schedules set forth in this Lease and/or Exhibit C; (ii) Landlord's breach of any provisions of this Lease or Exhibit C; -3- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA (iii) any unreasonable interference with Tenant's installation of the Fixturization Work caused by Landlord's Work, including, without limitation, any failure by Landlord to provide Tenant with uninterrupted access to the Building and Premises to install the Fixturization Work after the Delivery Date as required in Paragraph 1.2 above and thereafter commence its ordinary business operations in the Building; (iv) (A) any defects in the design and/or construction of Landlord's Work or failure of Landlord to comply with all Applicable Laws and/or the requirements of Exhibit C in connection with the design and construction of Landlord's Work, including, without limitation, any failure of Landlord's Work to meet the Delivery Condition requirements as of the date the Premises are delivered to Tenant, and/or (B) incorrect or incomplete Final Plans (as defined in Exhibit C) for Landlord's Work and/or the failure of the Final Plans to comply with Applicable Laws or otherwise meet the requirements set forth in Exhibit C; (v) revisions made to the Final Plans after approval thereof by Landlord and Tenant unless required by Tenant Change Orders (as defined in Exhibit C) requested by Tenant pursuant to Exhibit C; (vi) Landlord's failure to complete Landlord's Work and make the Premises Ready for Occupancy within the ninety (90) day period following the Delivery Date; and/or (vii) any other acts, negligence or omissions of or by Landlord or Landlord's employees, agents, contractors, licensees or invitees. 1.4 Delivery Condition; Ready for Occupancy. 1.4.1 Delivery Condition. For purposes hereof, the Premises shall be deemed to be in the "DELIVERY CONDITION" after Landlord has caused both the Land Acquisition and the Subdivision to occur, and when all of Landlord's Work for the Premises to be constructed by Landlord pursuant to Exhibit C has been completed to the extent set forth on Exhibit I attached hereto, and otherwise to such extent so as to not unreasonably delay or interfere with Tenant's installation of the Fixturization Work described in Paragraph 1.2 above. Immediately prior to Landlord's delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition, Landlord and Tenant shall conduct a joint walk-through of the Premises to confirm whether or not the Premises are in fact in the Delivery Condition as described in and required by Exhibit I and this Paragraph 1.4.1. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Delivery Date will occur prior to completion of all of Landlord's Work, and that Landlord will be completing the remainder of Landlord's Work and causing the Premises to be Ready for Occupancy during Tenant's Fixturization Period while Tenant is installing the Fixturization Work. 1.4.2 Ready for Occupancy. Landlord covenants to complete Landlord's Work (subject to the Punchlist Items, as defined below in this Paragraph 1.4.2) and cause the Premises to be Ready for Occupancy within ninety (90) days after the Delivery Date. For purposes hereof, the Premises shall be deemed "READY FOR OCCUPANCY" when: (i) Landlord has caused both the Land Acquisition and the Subdivision to occur; -4- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA (ii) all of Landlord's Work has been completed in accordance with the Final Plans, all Applicable Laws, and the provisions of Exhibit C, excepting only those incomplete items of finishing and/or correction work (collectively, the "PUNCHLIST ITEMS") which (A) are of such a nature that they will not and do not unreasonably delay or interfere with Tenant's completion of the Fixturization Work or Tenant's commencement of its ordinary business operations from the Premises following Tenant's completion of the Fixturization Work, and (B) are identified on a list to be jointly prepared and mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant as provided hereinbelow (provided, however, that such Punchlist Items shall be completed by Landlord within thirty (30) days after such substantial completion); (iii) a certificate of occupancy (or a temporary certificate of occupancy or its equivalent, subject to conditions reasonably acceptable to Tenant) with respect to Landlord's Work has been issued by the City of Riverside, and a copy of the same has been delivered to Tenant; (iv) all Premises systems and utilities (including, without limitation, water, electricity, and HVAC) are in good working order and operation; (v) Landlord's Contractor (as defined in Exhibit C) has executed a Certificate in the form attached as Schedule 2 to Exhibit C, and a copy of same has been delivered to Tenant; and (vi) Landlord's Architect has executed a Certificate in the form of the AIA Certificate of Substantial Completion (G704-1978), and a copy of same has been delivered to Tenant. Within ten (10) days after Landlord has made the Premises Ready for Occupancy and delivered to Tenant the certificates described in clauses (iii), (v) and (vi) hereinabove, Landlord and Tenant will jointly conduct a walk-through inspection of the Premises and will jointly prepare an agreed upon list of Punchlist Items to be performed by Landlord pursuant to Exhibit C. 1.5 Failure to Effect Land Acquisition or Subdivision, Commence Grading, Obtain Permits, Achieve Delivery Condition or Complete Landlord's Work. 1.5.1 If Landlord fails to (i) effect the Land Acquisition by the Acquisition Outside Date, or (ii) effect the Subdivision by the Subdivision Outside Date, or (iii) commence grading of the Land ("GRADING COMMENCEMENT") by August 15, 2004 (the "GRADING COMMENCEMENT OUTSIDE DATE"), as such date in this clause (iii) may be extended as provided in Paragraph 1.5.4 below, or (iv) obtain from the appropriate governmental authorities all necessary building permits and approvals to construct Landlord's Work (the "PERMIT ISSUANCE") by August 15, 2004 (the "PERMIT ISSUANCE OUTSIDE DATE"), as such date in this clause (iv) may be extended as provided in Paragraph 1.5.4 below, then in addition to Tenant's other rights and remedies set forth in this Lease, Tenant may, at any time thereafter but prior to the date the Land Acquisition, Subdivision, Grading Commencement or Permit Issuance (as the case may be) has occurred, either (A) terminate this Lease upon ten (10) days' prior written notice to Landlord and receive from Landlord the Tenant Termination Amount (as defined in and pursuant to Paragraph 1.5.5 below), or (B) extend the Acquisition Outside Date, the Subdivision Outside -5- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA Date, the Grading Commencement Outside Date or the Permit Issuance Outside Date (as the case may be) to a later date as designated by Tenant in its sole and absolute discretion in a written notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord, in which event: (1) Tenant shall retain its termination right and right to receive the Tenant Termination Amount pursuant to clause (A) of this Paragraph 1.5.1 if Landlord fails to cause the Land Acquisition, Subdivision, Grading Commencement or Permit Issuance (as the case may be) to occur by such extended Acquisition Outside Date, extended Subdivision Outside Date, extended Grading Commencement Outside Date or extended Permit Issuance Outside Date (as the case may be); (2) Tenant shall receive one (1) day of abated Fixed Rent and Real Property Taxes for each day that is within the period commencing as of the originally scheduled Acquisition Outside Date and expiring upon the date the Land Acquisition actually occurs; (3) Tenant shall receive one (1) day of abated Fixed Rent and Real Property Taxes for each day that is within the period commencing as of the originally scheduled Subdivision Outside Date, and expiring upon the date the Subdivision actually occurs; (4) Tenant shall receive one (1) day of abated Fixed Rent and Real Property Taxes for each date that is within the period commencing as of the originally scheduled Grading Commencement Outside Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to Paragraph 1.5.4 below) and expiring upon the date Grading Commencement actually occurs; and (5) Tenant shall receive one (1) day of abated Fixed Rent and Real Property Taxes for each day that is within the period commencing as of the originally scheduled Permit Issuance Outside Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to Paragraph 1.5.4 below) and expiring upon the date the Permit Issuance actually occurs. 1.5.2 If Landlord fails to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition by May 1, 2005 (the "DELIVERY DEADLINE DATE"), as such date may be extended as provided in Paragraph 1.5.4 below, then in addition to Tenant's other rights and remedies set forth in this Lease, Tenant may, at any time thereafter but prior to delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition, either (i) terminate this Lease upon not less than ten (10) days' prior written notice to Landlord and receive from Landlord the Tenant Termination Amount, or (ii) extend the Delivery Deadline Date to a later date as designated by Tenant in its sole and absolute discretion in a written notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord, in which event: (A) Tenant shall retain its termination right and right to receive the Tenant Termination Amount pursuant to clause (i) of this Paragraph 1.5.2 if Landlord fails to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition by such extended Delivery Deadline Date; and (B) Tenant shall receive one (1) day of abated Fixed Rent and Real Property Taxes for each day that is within the period commencing as of the originally scheduled Delivery Deadline Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to Paragraph 1.5.4 below) and expiring upon the date Landlord actually delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition. -6- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA 1.5.3 If Landlord fails to cause the Premises to be Ready for Occupancy by August 1, 2005 (the "READY FOR OCCUPANCY OUTSIDE DATE"), as such date may be extended as provided in Paragraph 1.5.4 below, then in addition to Tenant's other rights and remedies set forth in this Lease, Tenant may, at any time thereafter prior to Landlord causing the Premises to be Ready for Occupancy, either (i) terminate this Lease upon not less than ten (10) days' prior written notice to Landlord and receive from Landlord the Tenant Termination Amount, or (ii) extend the Ready for Occupancy Outside Date to a later date as designated by Tenant in its sole and absolute discretion in a written notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord, in which event: (A) Tenant shall retain its termination right and right to receive the Tenant Termination Amount pursuant to clause (i) of this Paragraph 1.5.3 if Landlord fails to cause the Premises to be Ready for Occupancy by such extended Ready for Occupancy Outside Date;

Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, (A) such extension of any of such four (4) dates for any Force Majeure Delays described in clause (ii) hereinabove shall not exceed a period of two (2) months nor result in the Ready for Occupancy Outside Date being extended, in any event, beyond the date which is eighteen (18) months after the date of execution of this Lease, and (B) no such extension shall occur to the extent such Force Majeure Delays and/or Tenant Delays could have been avoided had Landlord used reasonable efforts to avoid such delay and to adapt and compensate for such delay. In addition, no Tenant Delay or Force Majeure Delay shall be deemed to have occurred unless Landlord has delivered to Tenant written notice specifying in reasonable detail the actions, inactions or circumstances Landlord claims constitute such Tenant Delay or Force Majeure Delay within five (5) business days after Landlord becomes aware of the occurrence of the action, inactions or circumstances; provided, however, in the event Landlord provides such notice after the expiration of that fifth (5th) business day, the Tenant Delay or Force Majeure Delay (as the case may be) shall be deemed to have occurred commencing on the day that Landlord actually provides such notice to Tenant; and provided, further, that no such Tenant Delay shall be deemed to have occurred if Tenant cures the action, inaction or circumstance which Landlord claims constitutes such Tenant Delay within two (2) business days after such notice is received by Tenant (however, Tenant shall only be entitled to an aggregate of fifteen (15) business days in which to cure any such actions, inactions or circumstances, and any -7- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA such Tenant Delays occurring after such fifteen (15) business days of aggregate cure days utilized by Tenant shall be deemed to have occurred without taking into account any subsequent cure periods hereinabove). 1.5.5 Following any such termination of this Lease pursuant to this Paragraph 1.5, Paragraph 1.2 above or Paragraph 16.1 below, both parties hereto shall be freed and discharged of all further obligations under this Lease, except: (i) as provided for in provisions of this Lease which by their terms survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease; (ii) Landlord shall remain obligated to disburse any undisbursed Tenant Improvement Allowance to pay for any costs for which the Tenant Improvement Allowance may be utilized and which have been incurred prior to the effective date of such termination, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit C; and (iii) Landlord shall reimburse Tenant an amount (the "TENANT TERMINATION AMOUNT") equal to Tenant's actual, documented and reasonable out-of pocket costs paid or incurred by Tenant in connection with (A) this Lease (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees paid by Tenant in negotiating this Lease), (B) the design, permitting and construction of the Premises, and/or (C) the design, acquisition and installation of any improvements, fixtures, furniture and equipment for the Premises (but only to the extent any of the foregoing costs have not previously reimbursed or paid by Landlord from the Tenant Improvement Allowance or otherwise). The Tenant Termination Amount shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days following the effective date of termination. The foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 1.5.5 shall survive the termination of this Lease. 1.6 Rentable Area of the Building. 1.6.1 Rentable Area. For purposes hereof, the "RENTABLE AREA" of the Building shall mean the gross building area of the Building measured by the drip line of the Building (i.e., the lines that form the exterior perimeter of the Building and follow the most exterior drip line at the perimeter of the roof systems of the Building at floor level), but excluding: (i) any space or areas which are not roofed and/or fully enclosed (including, without limitation, (A) unenclosed connecting links or area ways, (B) unenclosed exterior staircases or fire escapes, and (C) unenclosed shipping/receiving platforms; (ii) any mezzanine or office space or second (2nd) floor space; (iii) any canopies, exterior steps, exterior landings and staging platforms; and (iv) any projections that do not extend vertically for the full height of the Building. The Rentable Area of the Building to be constructed by Landlord is approximately as set forth on page 1 of this Lease and is the parties' good faith estimate thereof as of the date of execution of this Lease. Simultaneously with Landlord's delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition, Landlord will cause Landlord's Architect (as defined in Exhibit C) to certify to Landlord and Tenant the Rentable Area of the Building. Such certification shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 1.6.2 below. The approved Rentable Area of the Building will be specified in a Commencement Certificate (as defined in Paragraph 1.7 below), and the Fixed Rent and Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be adjusted accordingly. 1.6.2 Tenant's Remeasurement Right. Within twenty (20) days after delivery of Landlord's Architect's certificate of Rentable Area of the Building pursuant to Paragraph 1.6.1 above, Tenant shall approve or disapprove of that determination, and during such period shall have the right to engage another California licensed architect experienced in the design and -8- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA construction of industrial buildings to measure the Rentable Area of the Building. If Landlord's and Tenant's respective determinations differ, and the parties are unable to resolve the differences within ten (10) business days after submission of Tenant's determination to Landlord, the dispute shall be determined by a third California licensed architect selected by Tenant's architect and Landlord's Architect. If Tenant's architect and Landlord's Architect are unable to agree on a third architect within twenty (20) days after the submission of Tenant's determination to Landlord, the Rentable Area of the Building shall be determined by a third (3rd) California licensed architect selected by the presiding judge of the Superior Court of Riverside or San Bernardino County, California, upon application of either Landlord or Tenant. Tenant's failure to object to Landlord's Architect's determination within the above 20-day period shall be deemed to be Tenant's approval of the determination of Landlord's Architect. 1.7 Commencement Certificate. Within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date, Tenant and Landlord shall execute and deliver a "Commencement Certificate" in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H. In the Commencement Certificate, Landlord and Tenant shall confirm the Commencement Date, the Expiration Date of the Term, the Rentable Area of the Building and the Fixed Rent. ARTICLE 2: RENTAL. 2.1 Fixed Rent. Effective upon the Commencement Date, Tenant shall, except as otherwise provided herein, pay to Landlord as "FIXED RENT" during the Term of this Lease the sum(s) set forth below in Subparagraph(s) 2.1.1, et seq. Said annual Fixed Rent shall be paid in equal monthly installments in the amount(s) set forth in said subparagraph(s). Said monthly Fixed Rent payment shall be paid on the first (1st) day of each full calendar month for each such month. For periods of less than a full calendar month, said monthly Fixed Rent payment shall be prorated based on the ratio of the number of days in such partial calendar month to the total number of days in such full calendar month. The proportionately reduced Fixed Rent payment for a part of a calendar month for which Fixed Rent may be due shall be paid at the same time and together with the Fixed Rent payment for the first (1st) full calendar month for which Fixed Rent may be due as provided herein. 2.1.1 Commencing on the Commencement Date set forth in Paragraph 2.1 above, and continuing for the next sixty (60) full calendar months (the "FIRST PERIOD"), the annual Fixed Rent referred to in said Paragraph 2.1 shall be equal to the product of (i) $2.85 and (ii) the Rentable Area of the Building, to be paid in equal monthly installments equal to the product of (A) $0.2375 and (B) the Rentable Area of the Building. The Rentable Area of the Building shall be determined pursuant to Paragraph 1.6 above, and the Fixed Rent for the First Period shall be calculated based upon such determination as provided therein. 2.1.2 Commencing on the date (the "ADJUSTMENT DATE") which is the first (1st) day following the last day of the First Period, and continuing for the remainder of the initial Term of this Lease ("SECOND PERIOD"), the annual Fixed Rent referred to in said Paragraph 2.1 shall be equal to the product of (i) the annual amount set forth in Subparagraph 2.1.1 above, multiplied by (ii) the lesser of (A) 1.10, or (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Comparison Index (as defined in Paragraph 2.1.4 below) for the Second Period and the -9- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA denominator of which is the Base Index (as defined in Paragraph 2.1.4 below) for the Second Period, and shall be paid in equal monthly installments equal to 1/12th of such annual amount. 2.1.3 If Tenant extends the initial Term of this Lease for any of the Option Periods as defined in and pursuant to Paragraph 15.1 hereof, the annual Fixed Rent referred to in said Paragraph 2.1 and payable by Tenant during the applicable Option Period shall be equal to the product of (i) the annual Fixed Rent amount payable during the last year of the immediately preceding Term of this Lease, multiplied by (ii) the lesser of (A) 1.10, or (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Comparison Index for the applicable Option Period, as set forth in Paragraph 2.1.4 below, and the denominator of which is the Base Index for the applicable Option Period, as set forth in Paragraph 2.1.4 below, and shall be paid in equal monthly installments equal to 1/12th of such annual amount. 2.1.4 As used herein: (i) the "INDEX" shall mean the Consumer Price Index for Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County, California, All Urban Consumers, 1982-84=100, as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, United States Department of Labor or any successor agency; (ii) the "COMPARISON INDEX" shall mean (A) with respect to the Second Period, the Index published for the calendar month which is three (3) months prior to the Adjustment Date, and (B) with respect to each applicable Option Period, the Index published for the calendar month which is three (3) months prior to the commencement date of such applicable Option Period; and (iii) the "BASE INDEX" shall mean (A) with respect to the Second Period, the Index published for the calendar month which is three (3) months prior to the Commencement Date, and (B) with respect to each applicable Option Period, the Index published for the calendar month which is sixty-three (63) months prior to the commencement date of such applicable Option Period. 2.1.5 As an illustration of the calculation of the annual Fixed Rent payable during the Second Period, if the Comparison Index for the Second Period is 225, the Base Index is 200, and the Rentable Area of the Building equals 953,132 square feet, then the annual Fixed Rent payable during the Second Period would equal $2,988,068.82, calculated as follows: $2,716,426.20 (i.e., the annual Fixed Rent payable for the First Period) multiplied by 1.10 (which is less than 1.125, the fraction resulting from dividing the Comparison Index of 225 by the Base Index of 200). 2.2 Abatement of Rent. If following the Commencement Date Tenant is prevented from using and does not use any portion of the Building by reason of (i) default of Landlord, (ii) any labor difficulty encountered by Landlord, (iii) Landlord's making any repairs or alterations to the Premises, (iv) a casualty event or eminent domain proceedings, (v) any interruption of any utilities or services being furnished to the Premises resulting from the acts, negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's agents, employees, contractors or licensees, (vi) the existence of Hazardous Materials (as defined in Paragraph 3.3 below) in, on or at the Premises which have not been (A) introduced by Tenant or any of Tenant's agents, contractors, employees, licensees or invitees, and/or (B) caused by the actions of any third parties (other than Landlord or Landlord's agents, employees or contractors) on the Premises, or (vii) any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Tenant, then and in each and all such cases, Tenant may elect, at any time after either (A) the commencement of such prevention of use with respect to any of the events described in clauses (i), through (v) hereinabove, or (B) the -10- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA third (3rd) consecutive business day of such prevention of use with respect to any of the events described in clauses (vi) or (vii) hereinabove, to abate Fixed Rent, Real Property Taxes payable pursuant to Paragraph 6.1 below and all other charges payable by Tenant under this Lease for the period that Tenant continues to be prevented from using, and does not use, the Building or any portion thereof. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant shall be entitled to such abatement with respect to any such event described hereinabove which affects areas of the Premises outside the Building (whether or not the Building is directly affected thereby), such as, but not limited to, Tenant's inability to use the driveways, accessways and/or parking areas of the Premises, so long as a result of such event occurring with respect to such other areas of the Premises, Tenant is prevented from using and does not use a portion of the Building. Such abatement shall be in proportion to the Rentable Area of the Building that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use (other than for storage purposes), as a result of any such event; provided, however, if as a result of any event described in clauses (i) through (vii) hereinabove, less than all of the Premises or Building is affected by such event but Tenant is nevertheless unable to effectively conduct its business (other than for storage purposes) from the remainder of the Building and does not conduct same (other than for storage purposes) from the area affected by the event and all such remaining portions of the Building, then the entire Fixed Rent, Real Property Taxes and other charges payable by Tenant under this Lease shall be abated for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the entire Building for the conduct of its business (other than for storage purposes). If, however, Tenant reoccupies and recommences its business operations (other than for storage purposes) from any portion of the Building during such abatement period, the Fixed Rent, Real Property Taxes and other charges payable by Tenant under this Lease allocable to such reoccupied portion, based upon the proportion that the Rentable Area of such reoccupied portion of the Building bears to the total Rentable Area of the Building, shall be payable by Tenant from the date Tenant reoccupies such portion of the Building (other than for storage purposes) and recommences its business operations (other than for storage purposes) therefrom. 2.3 Place of Payment. Payments of rental hereunder are to be made pursuant to Paragraph 20.15 hereof. 2.4 Definition of Rent and Additional Rent.

Landlord's failure to so notify Tenant within such 30-day period, where such failure continues for an additional ten (10) days after notice thereof from Tenant shall, if Tenant so chooses, be deemed to be the Experienced Contractor's determination that such restoration will take longer than twelve (12) months (measured from the date of the damage or destruction). 9.1.2 Subject to and except as expressly provided in Paragraphs 9.1.3, 9.2 and 9.3 below, if the Improvements or any other part of the Premises shall be damaged or destroyed to any extent by fire, earthquake or other casualty event, Landlord shall, at Landlord's sole cost and expense (but subject to payment of any Excess Costs [as defined in Paragraph 9.1.3 below], if applicable, and insurance proceeds therefor from the Property Damage Insurance [as defined in Paragraph 10.4.1 below] to be placed in the Construction Escrow, as defined in Paragraph 9.1.3 below, and as provided in Paragraphs 9.1.3 and 10.4.3 below), diligently repair and restore the same to substantially the same condition existing immediately prior to said damage or destruction with all reasonable dispatch and diligence as provided herein. Said repair and restoration shall include all fixtures and equipment in or of the Building and the Premises owned by Landlord (including, without limitation, the HVAC, plumbing, electrical and other mechanical and utilities systems and equipment in and/or serving the Premises) and all leasehold improvements and alterations in and to the Building and Premises, to the extent so damaged or destroyed. Landlord shall have no obligation to repair, restore or replace Tenant's stock in trade, trade fixtures, equipment, furnishings, furniture or other personal property. All such repair and restoration of the Premises by Landlord shall be made in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall comply, and shall require all its contractors to comply, with all Applicable Laws in making any said repairs and restoration. Landlord shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all damages, claims, expenses, losses and/or liabilities (excluding lost profits and other consequential damages) resulting from Landlord's failure to comply with said Applicable Laws and/or diligently perform such repair and restoration work. After repair and restoration, Landlord shall return possession of the Premises to Tenant without diminution in size of the Building or Premises or change of location, except as required by Applicable Laws. If Landlord carries on any restoration or repair pursuant to this Article 9 and Tenant continues to occupy any portion of the Premises, Landlord shall take all such steps as may be reasonable and practicable to prevent interference with Tenant's use and enjoyment of the portion of the Premises which Tenant continues to occupy. -27- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA Landlord shall also perform its obligations under this Article 9 in a manner which will achieve restoration of any damage or destruction as soon as practicable, giving due regard to the nature and scope of the damage or destruction. 9.1.3 If (i) the Improvements shall be damaged or destroyed by any fire, earthquake or other casualty event which is not required to be covered by property damage insurance under Paragraph 10.4 below ("UNINSURED CASUALTY"), and the cost of repair or restoration of such Uninsured Casualty damage or destruction exceeds the "THRESHOLD AMOUNT" (which for purposes hereof shall mean twenty percent (20%) of the full replacement cost of the Improvements immediately prior to said damage or destruction), or (ii) such damage or destruction is caused by an earthquake, and Earthquake Insurance Coverage (as defined in Paragraph 10.4.2 below) is in effect but the cost to repair such earthquake damage (inclusive of the deductible amounts under such Earthquake Insurance Coverage) which is not payable from proceeds under such Earthquake Insurance Coverage exceeds the Threshold Amount, then Landlord may notify Tenant in writing, within thirty (30) days after determining the repair and restoration cost (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after said damage or destruction), that Landlord elects not to restore the Premises or repair said damage to the extent of such excess ("EXCESS COSTS") and to terminate this Lease pursuant to the following provisions of this Paragraph 9.1.3. Such notice by Landlord (herein referred to as "LANDLORD'S TERMINATION NOTICE") shall be accompanied by an estimate of such replacement cost and at least two (2) bids prepared by contractors approved by Tenant, showing in detail the costs of the required repairs or restoration. If, within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's Termination Notice, Tenant notifies Landlord in writing that Tenant agrees to pay the Excess Costs, then within ten (10) days after approval by Landlord and Tenant (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of joint escrow and payment instructions pertaining to disbursement of funds covering such repair and restoration costs, Tenant shall place in a joint construction escrow account held by a bank or escrow company mutually approved by the parties (the "CONSTRUCTION ESCROW") an amount equal to the Excess Costs, together with said approved joint escrow and payment instructions. Landlord shall thereafter with all reasonable dispatch and diligence, and at Landlord's expense (but with the right to recover such Excess Costs from the Construction Escrow pursuant to such approved joint escrow and payment instructions), make all the necessary repairs or restoration in accordance with Paragraph 9.1.2 above, and this Lease shall continue in effect. The cost of the Construction Escrow holder's fees for such Construction Escrow shall be shared and paid equally by the parties. If Tenant fails to either (A) notify Landlord in writing within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's Termination Notice that Tenant agrees to pay the Excess Costs, or (B) deposit the Excess Costs together with said approved joint escrow and payment instructions within such ten (10) day period set forth hereinabove, then this Lease shall terminate at the end of said thirty (30) day period set forth in clause (A) hereinabove or said ten (10) day period set forth in clause (A) hereinabove, as the case may be (but Tenant shall have up to ninety (90) days after such termination to vacate and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord), and the provisions of Paragraph 9.5 below shall apply. If Landlord shall fail to notify Tenant of Landlord's election not to repair the damage or restore the Premises to the extent of the Excess Costs within ninety (90) days after such damage or destruction, Landlord shall make all necessary repairs or restoration at Landlord's sole cost and expense (subject to payment of any insurance proceeds from the Property Damage Insurance to be placed in the Construction Escrow pursuant to Paragraph 10.4.3 below), in accordance with Paragraph 9.1.2 above. -28- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA 9.1.4 During the period of any such damage, destruction, restoration and repair, Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant to provide Tenant with temporary space for the operation of Tenant's Permitted Use therein within Landlord's existing buildings, if any, located in San Bernardino County or Riverside County, California, to the extent such space is available, in which case Tenant shall pay Landlord for the use of such temporary space so provided prevailing market rent, taxes and operating costs for such temporary space in such amounts as shall be mutually and reasonably approved by the parties. 9.2 Tenant's Termination Right. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 9.1 above to the contrary, in the event that the Experienced Contractor reasonably determines that substantial restoration of the damage or destruction resulting from any fire, earthquake or other casualty event will take longer than twelve (12) months (measured from the date of the damage or destruction), Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days following Tenant's receipt of the Experienced Contractor's determination (or within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the thirty (30) day period set forth in Paragraph 9.1.1 above for Landlord to provide the Experienced Contractor's determination to Tenant, in the event such Experienced Contractor's determination is not timely delivered). Such termination shall be effective as of the date specified by Tenant in Tenant's termination notice, which shall be not sooner than thirty (30) days nor later than ninety (90) days after such termination notice is delivered to Landlord. 9.3 Damage Near End of Term. Anything in this Article 9 to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Improvements or any other part of the Premises shall be destroyed or damaged during the last twelve (12) months of the Term hereof by reason of any fire, earthquake or other casualty event, and the Premises cannot be substantially restored within a period of sixty (60) working days from the date of such damage or destruction, this Lease may be terminated upon written notice by either party to the other. Provided, however, that if at the time of said destruction or damage, Tenant has an unexercised right of extension pursuant to Article 15 hereof which is still in effect, Landlord may not terminate this Lease until it has given Tenant notice of its intent to terminate and Tenant fails to exercise said right of extension within thirty (30) days of receipt of said notice. If Tenant fails to exercise said right of extension, this Lease shall terminate effective thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of said notice from Landlord. 9.4 Failure to Commence or Complete Restoration. Anything in this Article 9 to the contrary notwithstanding, if the repair and restoration provided for in Paragraph 9.1 hereof is not commenced within six (6) months from the date of the damage or destruction referred to in said Paragraph, or once commenced, if said repair or restoration is not completed within the later of (i) twelve (12) months after the date of such damage or destruction or (ii) the estimated restoration period originally determined by the Experienced Contractor pursuant to Paragraph 9.1.1 above, Tenant may terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord, which termination shall be effective as of the date specified by Tenant in such termination notice which shall be not sooner than thirty (30) nor later than ninety (90) days after such termination notice is delivered to Landlord. Tenant's right to terminate this Lease as provided hereinabove (and elsewhere in this Article 9) shall be in addition to any other right or remedy Tenant may have arising out of Landlord's breach of any covenant of this Lease. -29- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA 9.5 Effect of Termination. Except as otherwise expressly provided above in this Article 9, such destruction or damage to the Premises shall not terminate this Lease, notwithstanding the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932 and 1933 or any other Applicable Laws to the contrary.

The insurance described in this Paragraph 10.4.1 shall sometimes be referred to herein as the "PROPERTY DAMAGE INSURANCE." 10.4.2 Landlord and Tenant agree that the obligation of Tenant to provide insurance coverage for the Building and all other Improvements at the Premises against damage from earthquake ("EARTHQUAKE INSURANCE COVERAGE") shall be subject to the following additional terms, conditions and limitations: (i) The deductible for Earthquake Insurance Coverage, so long as Earthquake Insurance Coverage is required to be maintained in accordance with this Paragraph 10.4.2, shall be the deductible amount which is generally commercially available for Earthquake Insurance Coverage with a premium not in excess of $0.25 per square foot of Rentable Area of the Building per year (the "MAXIMUM EARTHQUAKE PREMIUM").

If Earthquake Insurance Coverage becomes unobtainable, regardless of the premium amount, or if Tenant otherwise determines in good faith that Earthquake Insurance Coverage is not available with coverage limits, deductibles, exclusions and other terms and conditions that are commercially reasonable or otherwise reasonably acceptable to Tenant, then Tenant shall have the right to allow Earthquake Insurance Coverage to lapse upon expiration of the Earthquake Insurance Coverage then in effect by providing Landlord written notice of such election at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date such coverage will lapse. Landlord shall thereafter have the right to maintain Earthquake Insurance Coverage (if obtainable) at Landlord's expense, subject to reimbursement by Tenant of the premiums paid for by Landlord in obtaining such Earthquake Insurance Coverage, but such reimbursement obligation shall not exceed the Maximum Earthquake Premium. -31- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA (iii) If, at any time from the date Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition and continuing thereafter throughout the Term, the premium for Earthquake Insurance Coverage will exceed the Maximum Earthquake Premium, Tenant shall have the right, at its option, to elect either to (A) pay the portion of the proposed premium for Earthquake Insurance Coverage in excess of the Maximum Earthquake Premium, and thereby maintain Earthquake Insurance Coverage in effect, or (B) elect not to pay such excess and allow Earthquake Insurance Coverage for the Premises to lapse. If Tenant has the right to make the election described in the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord (herein "TENANT'S ELECTION NOTICE") of the action intended by Tenant at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date such coverage will lapse.

If by reason of the provisions of any first mortgage or first deed of trust executed by Landlord on the Premises, Property Damage Insurance proceeds are required to be made payable to the lien holder, Tenant hereby consents thereto, provided that the lien holder in question (A) shall first agree in writing with Landlord and Tenant to make such proceeds available for the repair and restoration of the Premises to the extent required pursuant to Paragraph 9.1 hereof, and (B) shall not have any interest in the Tenant's Termination Insurance Proceeds, and Tenant shall not be required to cause Tenant's Termination Insurance Proceeds to be delivered to such lien holder. 10.5 Rent Loss Insurance.

Subject to Paragraphs 11.2 and 11.3 below, Tenant shall have the right, with Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned, to assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any part thereof. If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any part thereof other than pursuant to Paragraphs 11.2 or 11.3 below, Tenant shall notify Landlord of such proposed assignment or sublease specifying the identity of the proposed assignee or subtenant and the material terms of the proposed assignment or sublease (which material terms may be evidenced by a letter of intent, correspondence between the parties or other means designated by Tenant); -34- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA Landlord shall have a period of twenty (20) days following receipt of such notice to notify Tenant of Landlord's approval of the proposed assignment or sublease, or reasonable disapproval (with the reasons for such disapproval specified in detail).

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 11 to the contrary, Landlord hereby agrees that Tenant may, at any time and from time to time without having to obtain Landlord's prior consent, sublet up to an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the Building and Premises, whenever in the opinion of Tenant it shall be advisable to sublet any such portions of the Building and Premises. 11.3 Consent to Transfers to Tenant Affiliates.

In addition, Landlord hereby agrees that any transfer or series of transfers of stock or other ownership interests in Tenant whether or not resulting in a change in the controlling interest in Tenant and whether voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, shall not be deemed an assignment, subletting or other transfer of Tenant's interest in this Lease or the Premises and thus shall not be subject to the requirement that Tenant notify Landlord thereof or obtain Landlord's prior consent thereto. 11.4 No Release. No such assignment, subletting or transfer of this Lease by Tenant pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article 11 shall release Tenant from Tenant's obligations under this Lease.

Upon any such termination, each party shall be released from any liability accruing thereafter under this Lease (but shall not be released from any liability accruing prior to such termination). Except as provided in this Article 12, such Partial Taking shall not be a basis to terminate this Lease, notwithstanding any Applicable Laws of the State of California to the contrary. 12.2.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Paragraph 12.2.1 to the contrary, in the event Landlord disputes that such taking would have a material adverse effect on Tenant's ability to conduct its business at the Premises and thus disputes the effectiveness of Tenant's exercise of its right to terminate this Lease pursuant to Paragraph 12.2.1 above, then the parties agree to resolve the dispute as provided in this Paragraph 12.2.2. Prior to submitting any such dispute to JAMS arbitration (as provided below), Landlord and Tenant agree that they shall meet and use good faith efforts, for a period of fifteen (15) days, to attempt to resolve such dispute. If the parties fail to resolve such dispute within said 15-day period, the parties agree to submit the question to binding arbitration by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services ("JAMS") in Riverside County, California, in accordance with the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules of JAMS, or the Streamlined Arbitration Rules of JAMS if mutually agreed to by both parties hereunder. The parties agree to cooperate with JAMS and with one another in selecting from JAMS' panel of arbitrators (selecting, if available, an arbitrator experienced in commercial real estate matters in Riverside County, California) and in scheduling the arbitration proceedings. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator, such arbitrator shall be appointed by JAMS. The party requesting arbitration shall be responsible for completing and sending to the JAMS' office for Riverside County, California, such forms as JAMS may require to commence such arbitration proceedings. Each party shall initially advance one-half (1/2) of JAMS' and the arbitrator's fees, and each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees if it chooses to be represented by an attorney in the arbitration. The arbitrator shall award to the prevailing party in the arbitration the fees it paid to JAMS and the arbitrator, together with reasonable attorneys' fees, which award will be payable by the other party within thirty (30) days after the arbitrator mails his or her decision. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. If JAMS is not available in Riverside County, the parties shall use JAMS in Orange County. If JAMS is not available in either Riverside or Orange Counties, the parties shall use the arbitration and mediation services provided by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). If JAMS and AAA are not available or no longer in existence, then the parties agree to use good faith efforts to select an alternative arbitration and mediation service, and the procedures set forth above shall apply to such substitute service. 12.3 Condemnation Award. Landlord shall be entitled to all damages or compensation awarded in any eminent domain proceeding relating to its fee simple interest in the Premises and Improvements paid for by Landlord at Landlord's expense. Tenant shall be entitled to all damages, compensation and proceeds awarded in any eminent domain proceeding that comprise Tenant's Eminent Domain TI Proceeds (as defined below) and/or pertain to Tenant's leasehold interest, loss of goodwill, relocation expenses, loss of business, business interruption, loss and/or removal of Tenant's trade fixtures, furniture, equipment and other personal property.

All repair and restoration of the Premises to be made by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 12.4 hereof shall be made in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Tenant. Landlord shall comply, and shall require all its contractors to comply, with all Applicable Laws relating to conditions of employment in making such repairs and restoration. In the event that there is a taking and this Lease is not terminated pursuant to this Article 12, any and all proceeds owing to Landlord resulting from any eminent domain proceedings based on such taking shall be deposited into a mutually acceptable joint Construction Escrow to be established by Landlord and Tenant in the same manner as provided in Paragraph 9.1.3 above, and used to pay for the costs of such repairs and restoration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if by reason of the provisions of any such mortgage or deed of trust executed by Landlord on the Premises, any such eminent domain proceeds are required to be made payable to the lien holder, Tenant hereby consents thereto, provided that the lien holder in question (i) shall first agree in writing with Landlord to make said proceeds available for such repair and restoration to the extent required pursuant to this Article 12, and (ii) shall not have any interest in the Tenant's Eminent Domain TI Proceeds, and Tenant shall be entitled to retain any such proceeds. 12.6 Abatement and Adjustment of Rent. In the event that there is a taking and this Lease is not terminated pursuant to this Article 12, in addition to any right Tenant may have to abate Fixed Rent and Real Property Taxes pursuant to Paragraph 2.2 hereof, a reduction of the annual Fixed Rent and Real Property Taxes payable under Paragraphs 2.1 and 6.1 hereof shall be made as follows: (i) if a portion of the Building is taken, the annual Fixed Rent and Real Property Taxes shall be reduced by the ratio of the total Rentable Area taken to the total Rentable Area of the Building; and (ii) if a portion of the parking, landscaping and other areas of the Premises located outside the Building is taken, an equitable reduction in the Fixed Rent and Real Property Taxes shall be made, based on the amount taken and proximity of the portion taken to the Building and the adverse effect on Tenant's business in the Premises. 12.7 Definition of Taking. A "TAKING OR APPROPRIATION", as used in this Article 12, shall be deemed to include one or more takings or appropriations, and the cumulative effect of more than one such taking or appropriation shall be construed as one taking or appropriation. -37- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA Appropriation or taking by eminent domain as used herein shall also include a conveyance made as a settlement to an existing or threatened eminent domain proceeding. 12.8 Conflict with Article 8. Where the provisions of this Article 12 are in conflict with the Applicable Laws of the State of California, or with the provisions of Article 8 hereof, the provisions of this Article 12 shall apply. ARTICLE 13: ATTORNEYS' FEES.

ARTICLE 15: EXTENSION OF TERM. 15.1 Tenant's Right to Extend Lease Term. Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term of this Lease upon the same terms, covenants, and conditions as herein contained, and at the Fixed Rent rate herein reserved in Paragraph 2.1.3 above, for three (3) additional consecutive periods of five (5) years each (each an "OPTION PERIOD" and collectively the "OPTION PERIODS") from and after the Expiration Date hereof, by giving Landlord notice at least six (6) months prior to the Expiration Date, and prior to each such extended expiration date (as the case may be), notifying Landlord of Tenant's election to so extend the Term; provided, however, in the event that Tenant fails to give such notice of extension, Tenant shall not be deemed to have waived the right to that extension or any extension thereafter until Landlord gives Tenant written notice of Tenant's failure to exercise such right of extension and affords Tenant a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to exercise that right of extension by giving Landlord notice thereof. Wherever there is a reference in this Lease to the Term of this Lease, or to the expiration of this Lease, such references shall be construed to include any extension of the Term of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall not have the right to extend the Term for the applicable Option Period if at the time Tenant delivers to Landlord Tenant's exercise notice, Tenant is then in monetary or material non-monetary default under the Lease after expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods. -38- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA 15.2 Interference Period. Whenever Tenant shall be prevented in whole or in part from the free, uninterrupted, and unimpeded enjoyment of the use of the Premises and the fixtures therein by reason of default of Landlord, or by reason of Landlord's making any repairs, alterations, extensions or additions to the Premises, or the fixtures therein, or by reason of any casualty event or eminent domain proceedings, and such prevention or disturbance lasts for a period in excess of ninety (90) days, then, and in each and all of such cases, Tenant shall have the right of extension, as hereinafter defined, which right shall be cumulative and additional to any other rights given in such cases by this Lease or Applicable Laws. Said right of extension shall give Tenant the option (to be exercised at least ninety (90) days before the conclusion of the Term) to add any such period or periods of loss of such enjoyment, or the aggregate of all such periods, to the Term of this Lease. ARTICLE 16: SUBORDINATION. 16.1 Permitted Deed of Trust. In the event Landlord acquires fee simple title to the Land with acquisition and/or construction financing secured by a Permitted Deed of Trust (as defined in Paragraph 3.1 above), then concurrently upon the closing of such acquisition, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement ("SNDA") executed by Landlord and the holder of such Permitted Deed of Trust in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, with any reasonable modifications thereto which do not increase any of Tenant's obligations or diminish or impair any of Tenant's rights under this Lease as shall be reasonably required by the holder of such Permitted Deed of Trust and reasonably approved by Tenant. If Landlord fails to deliver the executed SNDA to Tenant concurrently upon such closing, Tenant may, at its option, in addition to its other remedies under this Lease: (i) terminate this Lease effective upon the date written termination notice is delivered to Landlord, which termination notice may be delivered at any time prior to the date such executed SNDA is delivered to Tenant, in which event the provisions of Paragraph 1.5.5 above shall apply; or (ii) defer the payment of any and all rental due under this Lease until such executed SNDA is delivered to Tenant.

Tenant shall pay such accrued rent in full to Landlord within forty-five (45) days after Tenant's receipt of such executed SNDA in recordable form. 16.2 Future Deeds of Trust. Tenant covenants that it will execute an agreement subordinating this Lease to any first priority deed of trust subsequently placed upon the Premises after Landlord's acquisition of fee simple title to the Land in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, with any reasonable modifications thereto which do not increase any of Tenant's obligations or diminish or impair any of Tenant's rights under this Lease as shall be reasonably required by the holder of such deed of trust and reasonably approved by Tenant. Tenant agrees to execute and deliver such agreement to Landlord within twenty (20) days after such agreement is delivered by Landlord to Tenant in the form (and with such modifications) as approved by Tenant in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 16.2. 16.3 Landlord's Waiver. Landlord hereby waives and releases any lien or claim of lien, statutory or otherwise, which Landlord may be entitled to assert under Applicable Laws upon or against any inventory, fixtures, furniture, equipment and other personal property of Tenant situated at the Premises. Landlord covenants that concurrently upon Landlord's execution of this Lease and/or subsequent to the execution of this Lease at Tenant's request, -39- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA Landlord will execute an agreement setting forth certain information regarding this Lease, as well as acknowledging certain rights of Tenant and any lender of Tenant, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F. In addition, Landlord agrees to execute any other document reasonably requested from time to time by Tenant and/or any lender, supplier, vendor, lessor or other lienholder in connection with Tenant's inventory, trade fixtures, furniture, equipment or other personal property, pursuant to which Landlord expressly waives any lien Landlord might otherwise have or acquire upon such property. ARTICLE 17: TENANT'S DEFAULTS. 17.1 Monetary Defaults. Should Tenant fail to make any payment of rent required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder as and when due under this Lease, and such failure shall continue for five (5) business days after Tenant's receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord specifying in detail such failure, then Tenant shall be in default under this Lease and Landlord may, at its option, in addition to any other remedies provided for such default under Applicable Laws (but subject to the provisions of Paragraph 10.9.5 above), terminate and cancel this Lease, and re-enter and take possession of the Premises, remove Tenant's property therefrom, and dispose of the same in the manner provided by Applicable Laws. Said five (5) business day notice from Landlord to Tenant shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any statutory notice for eviction or foreclosure proceedings required under the Applicable Laws of the State of California (including, without limitation, the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 regarding unlawful detainer actions or any successor statute or law of a similar nature); provided, however, if Tenant is in default in the payment of rent more than two (2) times in any 12-month period, for the third (3rd) and any subsequent default in such 12-month period, such five (5) business day notice shall be in lieu of any such statutory notice for eviction or foreclosure proceedings. Upon such termination, Landlord may recover from Tenant: (i) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent 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; (iii) 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; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the expenses and 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. The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts referred to in items (i) and (ii) above is computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate (defined in Paragraph 6.4 above). The "worth at the time of award" of the amount referred to in item (iii) above 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%). Except as otherwise herein provided, no entry into the Premises or -40- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA any other action by Landlord shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless written notice of such intention is given to Tenant, or unless termination thereof is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. 17.1.1 In the event this Lease is terminated as provided in this Paragraph 17.1, Tenant shall promptly remove all personal property to which it has the right to possession. All property of Tenant not removed by Tenant within ten (10) business days after Tenant's receipt of notice of a final adjudication that the Lease has been terminated shall be disposed of by Landlord in the manner provided by Applicable Laws. 17.1.2 Landlord shall also have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (which provides that lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee's breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due (in accordance with California Civil Code Section 1951.4). 17.2 Non-Monetary Defaults. If Tenant shall be in default in the performance of any obligation under this Lease other than in the payment of rent, and if Tenant shall fail to cure such default within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice from Landlord, specifying in detail the nature of such default, or in case the default is of such a character as to reasonably require more than thirty (30) days to cure, then if Tenant shall fail to use reasonable diligence in curing or attempting to cure such default, then Landlord may cure such default for the account of and at the cost and expense of Tenant. The sum so expended by Landlord shall be deemed to be additional rent if Tenant fails to pay to Landlord the sum so expended within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of notice of a final adjudication that such amount is owing to Landlord, including interest at the Interest Rate from the date of expenditure by Landlord until paid. 17.2.1 In addition to the foregoing, if Tenant shall be in material default in the performance of any non-monetary obligation under this Lease which cannot be cured by Landlord by the payment of money or the exercise of Landlord's self-help rights as set forth in Paragraph 17.2 above, and if Tenant shall fail to cure such default within the time periods set forth in Paragraph 17.2 above, Landlord shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies set forth in Paragraph 17.1 above. In no event shall any such default, other than the failure to pay rent, be the basis of a forfeiture of this Lease or otherwise result in the eviction of Tenant or the termination of this Lease, unless and except to the extent specifically and expressly permitted under this Paragraph 17.2. 17.2.2 In addition to Landlord's right to cure such non-monetary default and recover the amount so expended in curing such non-monetary default, Landlord shall have the right to injunctive relief and/or recover damages (subject, however, to the limitations in Paragraph 10.9.5 above) for Tenant's default of any such obligation, covenant or agreement. 17.3 Bankruptcy. In the event of the commencement of voluntary or involuntary proceedings by or against Tenant under the United States Bankruptcy Code, which proceedings are not dismissed within ninety (90) days after the same are filed, then subject to and limited by -41- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, including any subsequent amendments thereto, Tenant shall be deemed to be in default under this Lease and Landlord shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies set forth in Paragraph 17.1 above. 17.4 Landlord's Remedies Cumulative. Any right or remedy Landlord may have under this Paragraph 17 arising out of Tenant's uncured default under this Lease shall be in addition to any other right or remedy for such uncured default provided for by Applicable Law and/or in equity (subject, however, to the limitations in Paragraphs 10.9.5 and 17.2.1 above), including, without limitation, the right to recover damages as a result thereof. ARTICLE 18: LANDLORD'S DEFAULTS. 18.1 Tenant's Right to Cure. If Landlord (i) fails to pay any installment of taxes or assessments or any interest, principal, costs or other charges upon any lien or encumbrance affecting the Premises when any of the same becomes due and such failure to pay could or would result in (A) a termination of this Lease, (B) loss of quiet enjoyment of the Premises, (C) impairment or loss of any of Tenant's rights under this Lease, or (D) increase in any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, or (ii) fails to pay any other monetary amounts required to be paid by Landlord under this Lease (including, without limitation, payments of any costs and/or the Tenant Improvement Allowance pursuant to Exhibit C) when any of the same becomes due, or (iii) fails to perform Landlord's Maintenance Obligations or make any other repairs or do any other work required of Landlord by the provisions of this Lease, or (iv) in any other respect fails to perform any other obligation under this Lease to be performed by Landlord (including, without limitation, any obligation under Exhibit C), then Landlord shall be in default under this Lease, and Tenant may (but this shall not be deemed to impose an obligation upon Tenant to do so), in addition to any other rights provided under this Lease, at law and/or in equity (but subject to the provisions of Paragraph 10.9.5 above) as a result of any such default: (1) recover from Landlord any and all damages resulting therefrom; and/or (2) at the expense of Landlord, pay such charges and/or cure such defaults on behalf of Landlord and/or do all necessary work and make all necessary payments in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no right or remedy of Tenant shall be exercised unless Landlord fails to cure such default within fifteen (15) business days (with respect to monetary defaults) and thirty (30) days (with respect to non-monetary defaults) after receipt of notice from Tenant specifying in detail the nature of such default; provided, however, that with respect to non-monetary defaults only, if such non-monetary default is of such nature as cannot be cured within said 30-day period, Landlord shall not be deemed in default hereunder if, and so long as, Landlord commences to cure such default within said 30-day period and proceeds diligently and continuously to complete the cure of such default within such reasonable additional time as is necessary to cure such default; provided, further, however, that if a failure by Landlord to perform or observe any term of this Lease gives rise to circumstances or conditions which constitute an emergency threatening human health or safety or substantial damage to the Premises or Tenant's personal property, or materially impeding the conduct of the business of Tenant at the Premises, Tenant shall be entitled to take immediate curative action (prior to the -42- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA expiration of any notice and cure period set forth above) to the extent reasonably necessary to eliminate the emergency. Landlord shall pay to Tenant, within ten (10) business days after demand, the amount so paid by Tenant in the exercise of any such rights and remedies, together with interest thereon from the date of such expenditure at the Interest Rate. However, if Landlord desires to contest the validity or correctness of any lien or encumbrance described in clause (i) hereinabove, it may do so, provided that if such lien or encumbrance could or would result in any of the events described in clauses (A) through (D) set forth in clause (i) hereinabove, Landlord shall first furnish Tenant with a good and sufficient bond indemnifying Tenant against any loss, liability or damage (excluding lost profits and consequential damages) on account thereof. 18.2 Tenant's Right to Offset. If Landlord shall fail to pay to Tenant the amount of such expenditures and interest within fifteen (15) business days of written demand from Tenant to do so, in addition to any other rights provided under this Lease, at law and/or in equity, Tenant may deduct the amount of such expenditures and interest from any and all rental payments and other payments thereafter becoming due to Landlord hereunder. In no event shall such deduction by Tenant pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 18.2 be the basis of forfeiture of this Lease or constitute a default by Tenant in the payment of rent unless Tenant shall fail to pay the amount of such deduction within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of notice of a final adjudication that such amount is owing to Landlord. Nothing herein contained shall preclude Tenant from proceeding to collect any amount paid by it pursuant to Paragraph 18.1 without waiting for rental offsets to accrue. 18.3 Tenant's Rights Cumulative. Any right or remedy Tenant may have under this Lease arising out of Landlord's breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of this Lease shall be in addition to any other right or remedy for such breach provided for by Applicable Law and/or in equity (subject, however, to the limitations in Paragraph 10.9.5 above), including, without limitation, the right to recover damages as a result thereof. The terms, conditions and provisions of this Article 18 are in all respects subject and subordinate to Landlord's covenant of quiet enjoyment to Tenant set forth in Article 3 of this Lease, and the parties agree that the rights and remedies set forth in this Article 18 are not intended to nullify, impair or negate in any manner or to any extent the covenant of quiet enjoyment, and Landlord acknowledges and agrees that in the event of conflict between Article 18 or any other provision of this Lease, the covenant of quiet enjoyment shall control.

Landlord, upon receipt of any such notice of disapproval from Tenant, shall revise such portion(s) of the Construction Drawings as have been disapproved in a manner so as to incorporate Tenant's proposed specific changes, and resubmit such revised Construction Drawings to Tenant as soon as reasonably possible thereafter, but in any event within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice of disapproval. Tenant shall have five (5) business days after receipt of such revised Construction Drawings to notify Landlord of Tenant's approval EXHIBIT C -3- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA or reasonable disapproval of such revised Construction Drawings (with any changes required by Tenant for Tenant's approval to be specified in such notice), and Landlord shall, upon receipt of such notice of disapproval from Tenant, revise such portion(s) of the Construction Drawings as have been disapproved in a manner so as to incorporate Tenant's proposed revisions, and resubmit such revised Construction Drawings to Tenant as soon as reasonably possible thereafter, but in any event within five (5) business days after Landlord's receipt of such notice of disapproval.

The TI Construction Drawings for the Tenant Improvements, as so finally approved by Tenant pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 2, shall be referred to herein, collectively, as the "FINAL TI PLANS". 3. No Changes by Landlord to Final Plans. Once the Final Building/Site Work Plans and Final TI Plans (collectively, the "FINAL PLANS") have been so approved by Tenant, Landlord may make no changes thereto without Tenant's prior approval, which may be withheld or granted in Tenant's sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, to the extent such changes (i) are required by any applicable governmental authority as a condition to the issuance of the applicable governmental permits and approvals for Landlord's Work, (ii) pertain to substitution of any materials that are specified in the Final Plans but are not readily available to meet the schedule of construction of Landlord's Work contemplated in this Exhibit C, and/or (iii) are minor changes which shall not adversely affect Tenant's use of or operation of its business in the Premises for the Permitted Use, Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold its consent thereto so long as (A) such changes do not create a Tenant Design Problem (as defined below), and (B) any substituted materials are of at least equivalent quantity and quality as the original materials specified on the Final Plans.

Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 4.2 below, and the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord shall diligently implement any Tenant Change Order requested by Tenant. Any Tenant Change Order shall outline in reasonably specific detail the change requested and shall further specify the reasons for such proposed EXHIBIT C -4- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA change.

Tenant may, at its option and before the issuance of a Tenant Change Order pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 4, submit to Landlord a "PRICING REQUEST", which shall outline with reasonably specific detail the changes Tenant desires to have priced. Upon receipt of a Pricing Request, Landlord shall, as soon thereafter as reasonably possible, but in no event later than seven (7) business days thereafter, deliver a statement to Tenant which sets forth: (i) the estimated cost of such change, together with a reasonably detailed breakdown thereof ("PRICING STATEMENT") and reasonable information concerning the availability of materials and labor required in connection with the proposed change; (ii) the effect that such change would have on the time of construction (either as an increase or a decrease) and the costs of the delays resulting therefrom; and (iii) Landlord's determination whether the proposed change would violate the provisions of clauses (i) and/or (ii) of Paragraph 4.1 above. In the event Tenant approves the applicable Tenant Change Order as provided in Paragraph 4.3 below, Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of the Tenant Change Order as and to the extent provided in Paragraph 5.4.2 below. 4.3 Review of Pricing Statements.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, this submission to California jurisdiction shall be self-operative and no further instrument or action, other than service of process, shall be required to confer jurisdiction over Guarantor in any such court.

R E C I T A L S: Landlord and Tenant entered into a Lease dated April 14, 2004 (the "LEASE") of certain real property more particularly described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto (said real property, together with the improvements now or hereafter constructed thereon, collectively, the "PREMISES").

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows: A G R E E M E N T: 1. Provided the Lease is in full force and effect and there are no defaults by Tenant thereunder (beyond all applicable notice and cure periods), then: EXHIBIT E -1- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA 1.1. The right of possession of Tenant to the Premises and Tenant's rights arising out of the Lease shall not be affected or disturbed by Beneficiary in the exercise of any of its rights under the Deed of Trust or the Note secured thereby. 1.2. Tenant shall not be named in any foreclosure action related to the Deed of Trust, unless such joinder is necessary under applicable law to foreclose the Deed of Trust, and then only for such purpose and not for the purpose of terminating the Lease. 1.3. In the event that Beneficiary or any other person ("PURCHASER") acquires title to the Premises or succeeds to Landlord's interest in the Lease pursuant to the exercise of any remedy provided for in the Deed of Trust or under the laws of the state in which the Premises are located (including any foreclosure of the Deed of Trust or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure), the Lease shall not be terminated or affected by the exercise of any such remedies or by said foreclosure or sale resulting from any such proceedings; and Beneficiary hereby covenants that any acquisition or sale by it of the Premises pursuant to the exercise of any rights and remedies under the Deed of Trust or otherwise, shall be made subject to the Lease and the rights of Tenant thereunder; and Tenant covenants and agrees to attorn to Beneficiary or Purchaser as its new landlord; and the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between Tenant and Beneficiary or Purchaser, as Landlord, upon all the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements set forth in the Lease between Tenant and Landlord. However, in no event shall Beneficiary or Purchaser be: 1.3.1. liable for any act or omission of Landlord, except for those acts or omissions for which Tenant has given Beneficiary notice thereof prior to said foreclosure or sale and which Beneficiary has thereafter failed to cure within the time periods provided for in Paragraph 6 of this Agreement (except that in no event shall Beneficiary be liable for any incidental, special or consequential damages [including for property damage or personal injury], that have accrued prior to said foreclosure or sale resulting from any acts or omissions of any prior landlord [including Landlord] which occurred prior to the date such notice was delivered to Beneficiary). Beneficiary shall provide Tenant with written notice of any such foreclosure or sale of the Premises as required by law, but in no event less than thirty (30) days prior to such foreclosure or sale; or 1.3.2. bound by any payment of rent made by Tenant more than thirty (30) days in advance of the due date under the Lease or liable for any security deposit unless actually received by Beneficiary or Lender; or 1.3.3. subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant may have against any prior landlord (including Landlord) arising prior to said foreclosure or sale, except for any defenses expressly provided for in the Lease and any offset and abatement rights expressly provided in Paragraphs 1.5, 2.2, 12.6 and 18.2 of the Lease, provided that Tenant has given Beneficiary notice of such offsets or defenses prior to said foreclosure or sale. Beneficiary shall provide Tenant with written notice of any such foreclosure or sale of the Premises as required by law, but in no event less than thirty (30) days prior to such foreclosure or sale; or EXHIBIT E -2- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA 1.3.4. bound by any amendment to the Lease made subsequent to the date of this Agreement without the written consent of Beneficiary, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or withheld for the purpose of effectuating a change in terms to the Deed of Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights and obligations of Tenant and Beneficiary, respectively, upon such attornment shall, to the extent of the then remaining balance of the term of the Lease, including any renewals or extensions thereof, be the same as now set forth in the Lease and by this reference the Lease is incorporated herein as part of this Agreement. 2. The Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of the Deed of Trust and to all the terms, conditions and provisions thereof, to all advances made or to be made thereunder, and to any renewals, extensions, modifications or replacements thereof, not inconsistent with Paragraph 1 of this Agreement. 3. Beneficiary hereby consents to the application of insurance and property damage proceeds and condemnation proceeds in accordance with the applicable provisions of Paragraphs 9, 10 and 12 of the Lease between Landlord and Tenant (including, without limitation, the provisions of Paragraph 10.4.3 of the Lease which permit disbursement of insurance proceeds to a beneficiary of Landlord under a first deed of trust encumbering the Premises to apply towards the repair of damage to the Premises), whether or not the Deed of Trust is then foreclosed. 4. Any notices or other communication required or desired to be given by one party to the other party hereto shall be given in writing by (i) mailing the same by certified or registered United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (ii) sending the same by Federal Express or other comparable overnight express courier service (with proof of receipt available), addressed as follows: To Tenant: Big 5 Corp. 2525 East El Segundo Boulevard El Segundo, California 90245 Attention: President or Secretary To Landlord: Panattoni Development Company, LLC 19660 Fairchild Road Irvine, California 92612 Attention: Steven Palmer To Beneficiary: ______________________________________________ ______________________________________________ ______________________________________________ ______________________________________________ or to such other addresses as the respective parties may from time to time designate by notice given as provided in this Agreement. Notices shall be deemed effective upon receipt or refusal to accept receipt (as evidenced by supporting documentation). 5. Landlord hereby acknowledges and represents that the rent and all other amounts due under the Lease have been assigned to Beneficiary as security for the loan secured by the Deed EXHIBIT E -3- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA of Trust. In the event that Beneficiary shall notify Tenant that Landlord has defaulted under the terms of the Deed of Trust and shall demand in writing that Tenant pay its rent and all other amounts due under the Lease to Beneficiary, then Tenant shall pay to Beneficiary all rent and other payments required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Lease for the duration of the Lease. Such amounts payable by Tenant to Beneficiary shall include only those payments which become due to Landlord under the terms of the Lease after the time Tenant has received written notice and demand from Beneficiary as provided in this Paragraph 5; provided, however, Tenant shall not be liable to Beneficiary for any payments made to Landlord under the terms of the Lease for the fifteen (15) business day period following such notice and demand from Beneficiary, such fifteen (15) business day period being deemed by the parties hereto to be a reasonable period to permit Tenant to implement any such payment change. Landlord hereby agrees that, in complying with the provisions of this Paragraph 5, Tenant shall be entitled to rely solely upon the notices given by Beneficiary, and Landlord agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all loss, claim, damage or liability arising out of Tenant's payment to Beneficiary in compliance with such notice. Landlord hereby releases and forever discharges Tenant from any all liability for losses suffered by Landlord as a result of Tenant's compliance with the provisions of this Paragraph 5, and Tenant shall be entitled to full credit under the Lease for any rents or other amounts paid to Beneficiary in accordance with this Paragraph 5 to the same extent as if such payments were made directly to Landlord. Any dispute between Beneficiary or Purchaser and Landlord as to the existence or continuance of a default by Landlord under the terms of the Deed of Trust or the Note secured thereby, or with respect to the extent or nature of such default, or with respect to foreclosure of the Deed of Trust by Beneficiary, shall be dealt with and adjusted solely between Beneficiary or Purchaser and Landlord, and Tenant shall not be made a party thereto. 6. So long as the Deed of Trust remains an encumbrance against the Premises, Tenant agrees to concurrently provide Beneficiary with a copy of any notice of default served upon Landlord. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time period provided for in the Lease, and if such default is curable by Beneficiary, then Beneficiary shall have the right, at its election, to cure said Landlord default within thirty (30) days following the expiration of Landlord's cure period, or, in the case of any non-monetary default which cannot be cured within said 30-day period, to promptly commence such cure within said 30-day period and thereafter diligently prosecute same to completion, which completion period shall not exceed one hundred twenty (120) days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may proceed immediately to cure or cause to be cured any default of Landlord pursuant to the provisions of the Lease. Any failure by Tenant to give such duplicate notice to Beneficiary shall not be a default by Tenant either under this Agreement or under the Lease; provided, however, until such time as Beneficiary has received such duplicate notice from Tenant and has had a opportunity to cure such default as required under this Paragraph 6, Tenant shall have no right to (i) terminate the Lease as a result of Landlord's default or (ii) exercise any offset rights Tenant may have resulting from such default. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if any repair or maintenance matter for which Landlord is responsible is of an emergency nature which if not attended to might result in bodily injury or damage to Tenant's property, Tenant may make such repair (as provided in Paragraph 7.2 of the Lease) without prior notice to Beneficiary, and such action by Tenant shall not waive or limit Tenant's offset and defense rights under Paragraph 1.3.3 above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing herein shall prohibit Tenant from exercising any termination rights it may have under the EXHIBIT E -4- BIG 5 WAREHOUSE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA Lease (including under Articles 9 and 12 of the Lease) which are not predicated upon a default of Landlord. 7. If Beneficiary or Purchaser, by succeeding to the interest of the landlord under the Lease, shall become obligated to perform the covenants of the landlord thereunder, then, upon further transfer of the landlord's interest in the Lease by Beneficiary or Purchaser and provided that the transferee shall have assumed in writing all of the obligations of the landlord under the Lease from and after the time of such transfer, all such landlord obligations shall terminate as to Beneficiary or Purchaser, except for those obligations which have accrued prior to such transfer. 8. This Agreement may not be modified other than by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto or by their respective successors in interest. 9. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their successors and assigns. 10. The foregoing provisions shall be self operative and effective without the execution of any further instruments on the part of either party hereto. 11. Should Beneficiary cease to have a beneficial interest under the Deed of Trust, Beneficiary shall give prompt written notice to Tenant of the reconveyance, assignment or other form of termination of said beneficial interest. 12. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

      1.    I have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Big 5 Sporting
            Goods Corporation;

      2.    Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any
            untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
            necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
            under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect
            to the period covered by this report;

      3.    Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
            information included in this report, fairly present in all material
            respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash
            flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in
            this report;

      4.    The registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for
            establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
            defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the
            registrant and have:

            a)    Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused
                  such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under
                  our supervision, to ensure that material information relating
                  to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is
                  made known to us by others within those entities, particularly
                  during the period in which this report is being prepared;

            b)    Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
                  controls and procedures and presented in this report our
                  conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
                  and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this
                  report based on such evaluation; and

            c)    Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's
                  internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
                  the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's
                  fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that
                  has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
                  affect, the registrant's internal control over financing
                  reporting; and

      5.    The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed,
            based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over
            financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit
            committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons
            performing the equivalent functions):

            a)    All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
                  design or operation of internal control over financial
                  reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the
                  registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and report
                  financial information; and

            b)    Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
                  or other employees who have a significant role in the
                  registrant's internal control over financial reporting.

I, Charles P. Kirk, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, certify
that:

      1.    I have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Big 5 Sporting
            Goods Corporation;

      2.    Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any
            untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
            necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
            under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect
            to the period covered by this report;

      3.    Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
            information included in this report, fairly present in all material
            respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash
            flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in
            this report;

      4.    The registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for
            establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
            defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the
            registrant and have:

            a)    Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused
                  such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under
                  our supervision, to ensure that material information relating
                  to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is
                  made known to us by others within those entities, particularly
                  during the period in which this report is being prepared;

            b)    Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
                  controls and procedures and presented in this report our
                  conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
                  and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this
                  report based on such evaluation; and

            c)    Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's
                  internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
                  the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's
                  fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that
                  has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
                  affect, the registrant's internal control over financing
                  reporting; and

      5.    The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed,
            based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over
            financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit
            committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons
            performing the equivalent functions):

            a)    All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
                  design or operation of internal control over financial
                  reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the
                  registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and report
                  financial information; and

            b)    Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
                  or other employees who have a significant role in the
                  registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
