Legal Question in Business Law in California

Defaulting on a commercial lease

I am a sole-owner of 2 retail locations..One of the locations was doing ok and has been financialy supporting the 2nd location. It is to the point where I will default on a 5 year lease with only 18months into it. This has affected my other location to the point where there is no money for purchasing..When I default on my lease what is the worst that can happen to me and my other location?
