The following excerpt is from People v. Eastman, C079559 (Cal. App. 2016):
104 Cal.App.4th 362, 376-377.) Thus, enhancements based on the nature of the offender are not imposed on any specific offense, but are instead added to the total term. "The base term and any offense-related enhancements constitute the principal term. If a defendant is convicted of a number of crimes, the court imposes subordinate terms and directs that they be served concurrently or consecutively to the principal term. [Citation.] The aggregate term, then, is comprised of the principal term, any subordinate terms, and any additional terms added for offender-related enhancements." (People v. Anderson (1995) 35 Cal.App.4th 587, 593, fn. 7 omitted.)
