DATE: November 3, 2010 NEW BUSINESS
SUBJECT: APPROVE A LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF PALM
SPRINGS AND THE COACHELLA VALLEY ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP
FOR 5,000 SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE SPACE AT A CITY OWNED
BUILDING AT 3111 E. TAHQUITZ CANYON WAY.
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Community & Economic Development Department
SUMMARY
The Coachella Valley Economic Partnership (CVEP) and the City of Palm Springs are
proposing the development of a regional economic development and business incubator
facility at 3111 E. Tahquitz Canyon Way, Palm Springs. CVEP has proposed leasing
5,000 square feet of the 14,000 square foot building to house the organization's offices.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve the Lease Agreement between the City of Palm Springs and the
Coachella Valley Economic Partnership for 5,000 square feet of office space at
3111 E. Tahquitz Canyon Way, Palm Springs, California.
2. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute all necessary documents.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The Coachella Valley Economic Partnership (CVEP) offices have been located in Palm
Desert since the organization was established in 1994. Recently, the CVEP Executive
Board authorized CVEP Staff to search for new office space since they have outgrown
the 900+/- square feet at their current location. The initial search for office space
concentrated on a central valley location. CVEP Staff reviewed several sites; however
rent and tenant improvement costs for those sites exceeded the organization's budget.
City staff suggested CVEP look at the City owned facility at 3111 E. Tahquitz Canyon
Way. The 3111 E. Tahquitz Canyon building consists of 14,000 square feet and is
owned by the City of Palm Springs and it was the former Palm Springs Police
Department facility, including the jail. The County of Riverside Health Services
Department leased the building for 22 years prior to constructing their new Family Care

Center at Sunrise Way and Vista Chino. The building has been vacant for the last two
years.
The suggestion to look at the 3111 E. Tahquitz Canyon building was made by City Staff
because of the recent State of California Innovation Hub (iHub) designation _... a tri-city
partnership between Palm Springs, Cathedral City and Desert Hot Springs. The iHUB
Program, which includes establishing incubator space for green technology businesses,
will be housed in the same building. It is also the goal of the iHUB Program to provide
shared office space for business resource agencies and support services to help
emerging green tech businesses grow into larger facilities and create jobs. Housing the
CVEP offices in the building made sense because of the "regional" approach of the
Blueprint Strategy adopted by the CVEP Board (and Cities throughout the valley) and
aligns with the iHUB Program and the City's own business retention and attraction
initiatives.
CVEP and the City have negotiated a lease structure based on CVEP's non-profit
status, regional economic development goals and the new iHUB initiative. The lease
structure allows both parties an opportunity to improve the space for occupancy and
expand services and programs for emerging green technology businesses.
The term of the lease is for five years with two five year options. The base gross rent of
$1.00 per square foot also includes utilities, which are provided by the City through its
cogeneration facility.
As part of the lease, CVEP shall provide for the tenant improvements of its own space,
the common area space (including conference rooms and restrooms) and the iHub
offices. They will solicit and retain architectural services and undertake the construction
of the space with City review and approval. CVEP's tenant improvement costs,
including the costs of the common areas and iHub, shall be credited against their
monthly rental during the initial five-year term. The lease also contains a Leasehold
Improvement Agreement which sets forth the approval process for the tenant
improvements, as well as the rent rebate for the tenant improvement costs.
The City will retain responsibility for the building shell and exterior, including
landscaping, the parking lot and roof, and shall be responsible for future leases with
other building tenants.

(CVEP - Lease Agreement)
FISCAL IMPACT:
For the initial two to three years there will be no significant rent income generated due
to the credit for the tenant improvement costs and a low rent structure to help new
businesses grow and create jobs. Future income generated from the CVEP lease and
other co-tenant leases will be used to further the goals of the HUB Program and
economic development initiatives established by the City Council.

advance on the first day of each calendar month. In the event the Commencement

(calculated on a thirty-day month). All rental to be paid by Lessee to Lessor shall be in
3
lawful money of the United States of America and shall be paid without deduction or

3.2 Cost of Living Adjustment. If the extension option is exercised,
the Monthly Rental shall be adjusted at the end of the first five (5) years of the within

percentage as the cost of living index has changed during the said five (5) year period
with a maximum 15% increase for any adjustment period, provided that in no event shall
the adjusted minimum rental be less than the original Monthly Rental provided for
herein. The cost of living index to be used is that reflected by the Revised Consumer
Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, all items, Los Angeles -
Anaheim - Riverside, California (1982-84 = 100) published by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor. If, for any reason whatsoever, there is any
change in the method of calculation or formulation of said price index, or if that index
shall no longer be published, then another index generally recognized as authoritative
shall be substituted by agreement. In any event, the base used by any new index shall
be reconciled to the 1982-84 Index. It is agreed for the purposes of this Lease, that the
base index shall be the month of November, 2010.
3.3 Additional Rental. For the purposes of this Lease, all monetary
obligations of Lessee under this Lease, including but not limited to, insurance
premiums, property taxes, maintenance expenses, late charges and utility costs shall be
deemed to be additional rental.
3.4 Real Property Taxes. Unless Lessee qualifies for an exemption
from property taxes or possessory interest taxes due to its non-profit status, in addition
to all rentals herein reserved, Lessee shall pay, at the election of Lessor, either directly
to the taxing authority or to Lessor, annual real estate taxes and assessments levied
upon the Premises (including any possessory interest taxes), as well as taxes of every
kind and nature levied and assessed in lieu of, in substitution for, or in addition to,
existing real property taxes. Such amount shall be paid on the date that is twenty (20)
days prior to the delinquent date or, if Lessor receives the tax bill, ten (10) days after
receipt of a copy of the tax bill from Lessor, whichever is later. Even though the term of
this Lease has expired and Lessee has vacated the Premises, when the final
determination is made of Lessee's share of such taxes and assessments, Lessee shall
immediately pay to Lessor the amount of any additional sum owed.
3.5 Personal Property Taxes. Unless Lessee qualifies for an
exemption from property taxes or possessory interest taxes due to its non-profit status,
during the term hereof Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed against
and levied upon fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property of
Lessee contained in the Premises, and when possible Lessee shall cause said fixtures,
furnishings, equipment and other personal property to be assessed and billed

3.7 Late Payment. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by
Lessee to Lessor of rental or other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs
not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult to
ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting
charges. Accordingly, any payment of any sum to be paid by Lessee not paid within ten
(10) days of its due date shall be subject to a five percent (5%) late charge. Lessor and
Lessee agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and
expenses and is fair compensation to Lessor for its loss suffered by such late payment
by Lessee. Sixty (60) days before the anniversary date each year the City shall notify
the Lessee of any outstanding delinquency, which must be cured prior to the
anniversary date or the City may exercise its right of termination under section 2.5 and
terminate the lease.
3.8 Interest. Any sum to be paid pursuant to the terms of this Lease
not paid when due shall bear interest from and after the due date until paid at a rate
equal to three percent (3%) over the reference rate being charged by Bank of America,
N.A. from time to time during such period so long as the rate does not exceed the
maximum non-usurious rate permitted by law in which case interest shall be at the
maximum non-usurious rate allowed by law at the time the sum became due.
3.9 Security Deposit. N/A
3.10 Lessee Improvement Credit. Lessee shall provide for the physical
improvements of the Lessee's space, common area space including shared restrooms
and conference rooms, and the core HUB office space. The Lessee improvement
costs for all areas would be credited to Lessee's Monthly Rental obligation. Lessee
shall, at its sole cost and expense, and subject to reimbursement as
hereinafter set forth, construct the improvements in the Premises (the
"Leasehold Improvements") pursuant to those certain blueprints, floor and space
plans, specification and finalize construction prices, collectively, the approved 'Working
Drawings" prepared by Lessee's architect. Lessee shall make no changes or
modifications to the Approved Working Drawings without the prior written consent of
Lessor, which consent may be withheld if such change or modification would directly or
indirectly increase the cost of designing or constructing the Leasehold
Improvements. Any changes or modifications required by the Lessor shall be at
Lessee's sole cost and expense.
Lessor has designated its Director of Community & Economic Development
or his designee as its sole representative with respect to the Leasehold Improvement
matters set forth in this Agreement, who, until further notice to Lessee, shall have full
authority and responsibility to act on behalf of the Lessor with respect to approval of
Leasehold Improvements.
Leasehold Improvements includes work on major building systems such
as electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, load-bearing or non-load-bearing walls, carpeting,
ceilings, skylights, windows, doors, painting but does not include any modular or
5
movable office system or walls, cubicles, telecommunications or information systems,
d6cor or office equipment.
Leasehold Improvement Credit shall be made by Lessor at a $0.75 per
square foot per month of the Lessee's Premises against Monthly Rental until the cost of
such Leasehold Improvements has been reimbursed by Lessor to Lessee. The Lessee
would pay the remaining $0.25 per square foot per month as Monthly Rental during the
Leasehold Improvement Credit period. The following examples are illustrative only:
(a) Lessee invests $25.00 per square foot to improve Lessee's
5,000 sq.ft. Premises, and the negotiated (gross) rent is $1.00 per square foot
per month. The total Leasehold Improvement cost would be $125,000. Credit
against the $5,000 Monthly Rental would yield a rent credit of $0.75/sf for 33.33
months and a rent payment of$1,250 per month ($0.25/sf) for 33.33 months; or
(b) Lessee invests $25.00 per square foot to improve Lessee's
5,000 sq.ft. Premises, plus $20.00 per square foot to improve the 2,000 sq.ft.
common area, yielding a total Leasehold Improvement cost of $165,000. The
gross rent on the Premises only (Lessee's 5,000 s.f.) is $1.00 per square foot per
month. Credit against the $5,000 Monthly Rental would yield a rent credit of
$0.75/sf for 44 months and a rent payment of $1,250 per month ($0.25/sf) for 44
months.

occurrence basis on its trade fixtures, equipment, personal property and inventory within
the Premises from loss or damage to the extent of their full replacement value and shall
provide plate glass coverage.
(b) Lessee to Provide Liability Insurance. During the entire term
of this Lease, the Lessee shall, at the Lessee's sole cost and expense, but for the
mutual benefit of Lessor and Lessee, maintain comprehensive general liability
insurance insuring against claims for bodily injury, death or property damage occurring
in, upon or about the Premises and on any sidewalks directly adjacent to the Premises
written on a per occurrence basis in a combined single limit of ONE MILLION DOLLARS
($1,000,000.00) for bodily injury, death, and property damage or provided, however, if
Lessor so elects Lessor may provide such insurance and, in such event, Lessee agrees
to pay its pro rata share of the cost of said insurance on the same basis as provided in
Section 6.1 above.
(c) Lessee to Provide Workers' Compensation Insurance..
Lessee shall, at the Lessee's sole cost and expense, maintain a policy of workers'
compensation insurance in an amount as will fully comply with the laws of the State of
California and which shall indemnify, insure and provide legal defense for both the
Lessee and the Lessor against any loss, claim or damage arising from any injuries or
occupational diseases occurring to any worker employed by or any persons retained by
the Lessee in the course of conducting Lessee's business in the Premises.
(d) General Provisions Applicable to Lessee's Insurance. All of
the policies of insurance required to be procured by Lessee pursuant to this Section 6.2
shall be primary insurance and shall name the Lessor, its officers, employees and
agents as additional insureds. The insurers shall waive all rights of subrogation and
contribution they may have against the Lessor, its officers, employees and agents and
their respective insurers. All of said policies of insurance shall provide that said
insurance may not be amended or cancelled without providing thirty (30) days' prior
written notice by registered mail to the Lessor. Prior to the Commencement Date or
such earlier date as Lessee takes possession of the Premises for any purpose; and at
least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any insurance policy, Lessee shall provide
Lessor with endorsements evidencing the above insurance coverages written by
insurance companies acceptable to Lessor, licensed to do business in the state where
the Premises are located and rated A:VII or better by Best's Insurance Guide. In the
event the Risk Manager of Lessor ("Risk Manager") determines that (i) the Lessee's
activities in the Premises creates an increased or decreased risk of loss to the Lessor,
(ii) greater insurance coverage is required due to the passage of time, or (iii) changes in
the industry require different coverages be obtained, Lessee agrees that the minimum
limits of any insurance policy required to be obtained by Lessee may be changed
10
accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the Risk Manager; provided that Lessee
shall have the right to appeal a determination of increased coverage by the Risk
Manager to the City Council of Lessor within ten (10) days of receipt of notice from the
Risk Manager. Lessor and Lessee hereby waive any rights each may have against the
other on account of any loss or damage occasioned by property damage to the
Premises, its contents, or Lessee's trade fixtures, equipment, personal property or
inventory arising from any risk generally covered by insurance against the perils of fire,
extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, theft, sprinkler damage or leakage,
and earthquake. Each of the parties, on behalf of their respective insurance companies
insuring such property of either Lessor or Lessee against such loss, waives any right of
subrogation that it may have against the other. The foregoing waivers of subrogation
shall be operative only so long as lawful in California and provided further that no policy
is invalidated thereby.
6.3 Indemnification of Lessor. Lessee, as a material part of the
consideration to be rendered to Lessor under this Lease, hereby waives all claims
against Lessor for damage to equipment or other personal property, trade fixtures,
leasehold improvements, goods, wares, inventory and merchandise, in, upon or about
the Premises and for injuries to persons in or about the Premises, from any cause
arising at any time. Lessee agrees to- indemnify the Lessor, its officers, agents and
employees against, and will hold and save them and each of them harmless from, any
and all actions, suits, claims, damages to persons or property, losses, costs, penalties,
obligations, errors, omissions or liabilities, (herein "claims or liabilities") that may be
asserted or claimed by any person, firm or entity arising out of or in connection with the
negligent performance of the work, operations or activities of Lessee, its agents,
employees, subcontractors, or invitees, provided for herein, or arising from the use of
the Premises or the parking and common areas by Lessee or its employees and
customers, or arising from the failure of Lessee to keep the Premises in good condition
and repair, as herein provided, or arising from the negligent acts or omissions of Lessee
hereunder, or arising from Lessee's negligent performance of or failure to perform any
term, provision, covenant or condition of this Lease, whether or not there is concurrent
passive or active negligence on the part of the Lessor, its officers, agents or employees
but excluding such claims or liabilities arising from the sole negligence or willful
misconduct of the Lessor, its officers, agents or employees, who are directly responsible
to the Lessor, and in connection therewith:
(a) Lessee will defend any action or actions filed in connection
with any of said claims or liabilities and will pay all costs and expenses, including legal
costs and attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith;
(b) Lessee will promptly pay any judgment rendered against the
Lessor, its officers, agents or employees for any such claims or liabilities arising out of
or in connection with the negligent performance of or failure to perform such work,
operations or activities of Lessee hereunder; and Lessee agrees to save and hold the
Lessor, its officers, agents, and employees harmless therefrom;
(c) In the event the Lessor, its officers, agents or employees is
made a party to any action or proceeding filed or prosecuted against Lessee for such
damages or other claims arising out of, or in connection with, the negligent performance
of or failure to perform the work, operation or activities of Lessee hereunder, Lessee
agrees to pay to the Lessor, its officers, agents or employees, any and all costs and
expenses incurred by the Lessor, its officers, agents or employees in such action or
proceeding, including, but not limited to, legal costs and attorneys' fees.
7.0 ABANDONMENT AND SURRENDER.
7.1 Abandonment. Lessee shall not vacate or abandon the Premises at
any time during the term of this Lease; and if Lessee shall abandon, vacate or surrender
the Premises or be dispossessed by process of law, or otherwise, any personal property
belonging to Lessee and left on the Premises shall be deemed to be abandoned, at the
option of Lessor, except such property as may be mortgaged to Lessor.
7.2 Surrender of Lease. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease
by Lessee, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and shall, at the
option of Lessor, terminate all or any existing subleases or sub-tenancies, or may, at the
option of Lessor, operate as an assignment to it of any or all of such subleases or sub-
tenancies.
8.0 DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES. In the event of (a)
partial or total destruction of the Premises during the term of this Lease which requires
repairs to the Premises, or (b) the Premises being declared unsafe or unfit for
occupancy by any authorized public authority for any reason other than Lessee's act,
use or occupation, which declaration requires repairs to the Premises, Lessor shall
forthwith make said repairs provided Lessee gives to Lessor thirty (30) days' written
notice of the necessity therefor. No such partial destruction (including any destruction
necessary in order to make repairs required by any declaration made by any public
authority) shall in any way annul or void this Lease except that Lessee shall be entitled
to a proportionate reduction of Monthly Rental while such repairs are being made, such
proportionate reduction to be based upon the extent to which the making of such repairs
shall interfere with the business carried on by Lessee in the Premises. However, if
during the last two (2) years of the term of this Lease the Premises are damaged as a
result of fire or any other insured casualty to an extent in excess of twenty-five percent
(25%) of the then replacement cost (excluding foundations), Lessor may within thirty
(30) days following the date such damage occurs terminate this Lease by written notice
to Lessee. If Lessor, however, elects to make said repairs, and provided Lessor uses
due diligence in making said repairs, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect,
and the Monthly Rental shall be proportionately reduced while such repairs are being
made as hereinabove provided. Nothing in the foregoing to the contrary withstanding, if
the Premises or said building is damaged or destroyed at any time during the term
hereof to an extent of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the then replacement cost
(excluding foundations) as a result of a casualty not insured against, Lessor may within
thirty (30) days following the date of such destruction terminate this Lease upon written
notice to Lessee. If Lessor does not elect to terminate because of said uninsured
casualty, Lessor shall promptly rebuild and repair the Premises and/or the building and
the Monthly Rental shall be proportionately reduced while such repairs are being made
as hereinabove provided. If Lessor elects to terminate this Lease, all rentals shall be
prorated between Lessor and Lessee as of the date of such destruction. In respect to
any partial or total destruction (including any destruction necessary in order to make
repairs required by any such declaration of any authorized public authority) which
Lessor is obligated to repair or may elect to repair under the terms of this Section,
Lessee waives any statutory right it may have to cancel this Lease as a result of such
destruction.
9.0 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Lessee shall not assign this Lease
or sublet all or a portion of the Premises without the prior written consent of Lessor,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. For purposes of this Lease, an
assignment shall be deemed to include the transfer to any person or group of persons
acting in concert of more than twenty five percent (25%) of the present ownership
and/or control of Lessee, taking all transfers into account on a cumulative basis. Lessor
may withhold its consent to an assignment or sublease to a proposed assignee or sub-
Lessee, and Lessee agrees that Lessor shall not be unreasonable for doing so, unless
all the following criteria are met: (a) The proposed assignee's or sub-Lessee's general
financial condition, including liquidity and net worth, verified by audited financial
statements prepared by a Certified Public Accountant in conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles is equal to or greater than that of Lessee; (b) the
proposed assignee or sub-Lessee has a demonstrated merchandising capability equal
to or greater than that of Lessee as to the use for which the Premises are leased; (c) the
proposed assignee or sub-Lessee is morally and financially responsible; and (d) the
failure of Lessee's use of the Premises to fit the business plan of Lessor to promote
tourism to the City of Palm Springs; and (e) the proposed assignee or subLessee is
exempt from federal income taxation pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Sections
501(c) (1) and/or 501(c) (3) and the proposed assignee's or subLessee's proposed use
of the Premises is a tax exempt function. Any such assignment shall be subject to all of
the terms and conditions of this Lease and the proposed assignee shall assume the
obligations of Lessee under this Lease in writing in form satisfactory to Lessor. The
proposed assignee shall simultaneously provide to Lessor an estoppel certificate in the
form described in Section 12.3 hereafter. Consent by Lessor to one assignment,
subletting, occupation or use by another person shall not be deemed to be consent to
any subsequent assignment, subletting, occupation or use by another person. Any
assignment or subletting without the prior written consent of Lessor shall be void, shall
constitute a material breach of this Lease, and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate
this Lease. Neither this Lease nor any interest therein shall be assignable as to the
interest of Lessee by operation of law.
Lessor shall be under no obligation to consider a request for Lessor's consent to
an assignment until Lessee shall have submitted in writing to Lessor a request for
Lessor's consent to such assignment together with audited financial statements of
Lessee and the proposed assignee, a history of the proposed assignee's business
experience and such other information as required by Lessor to verify that the criteria
for assignment as set forth herein are met. If Lessor approves such assignment, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor one-half (1/2) of any consideration received by Lessee for such
13
assignment. In addition, if Lessor determines that the Monthly Rent payable to Lessor
under this Lease is less than the fair market rental value, as determined by Lessor,
Lessor shall have the right to condition its approval to an assignment or subletting on
the increase of Monthly Rent to the fair market rental value.
10.0 DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.
10.1 Default by Lessee. In addition to the defaults described in Section
9.0 hereinabove, the occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall
constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Lessee: (a) the failure to pay any rental
or other payment required hereunder to or on behalf of Lessor more than three (3) days
after written notice from Lessor to Lessee that Lessee has failed to pay rent when due;
(b) the failure to perform any of Lessee's agreements or obligations hereunder
(exclusive of a default in the payment of money) where such default shall continue for a
period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee which notice
shall be deemed to be the statutory notice so long as such notice complies with
statutory requirements; (c) the vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee; (d)
the making by Lessee of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (e) the filing
by Lessee of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or the adjudication of Lessee as a
bankrupt; (f) the appointment of a receiver to take possession of all or substantially all
the assets of Lessee located at the Premises or of Lessee's leasehold interest in the
Premises; (g) the filing by any creditor of Lessee of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy
which is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after filing; or (h) the attachment, execution
or other judicial seizure of all or substantially all of the assets of Lessee or Lessee's
leasehold where such an attachment, execution or seizure is not discharged within sixty
(60) days. Any repetitive failure by Lessee to perform its agreements and obligations
hereunder, though intermittently cured, shall be deemed an incurable default. Two (2)
breaches of the same covenant within a sixty (60) day period, a notice having been
given pursuant to (a) or (b) above for the first breach, or three (3) of the same or
different breaches at any time during the term of this Lease for which notices pursuant
to (a) or (b) above were given for the first two (2) breaches shall conclusively be
deemed to be an incurable repetitive failure by Lessee to perform its obligations
hereunder.
In the event of any such default or breach by Lessee, Lessor may at any
time thereafter, without further notice or demand, rectify or cure such default, and any
sums expended by Lessor for such purposes shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor upon
demand and as additional rental hereunder. In the event of any such default or breach
by Lessee, Lessor shall have the right (i) to continue the lease in full force and effect
and enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover
the rental as it becomes due under this Lease, or (ii) Lessor shall have the right at any
time thereafter to elect to terminate the Lease and Lessee's right to possession
thereunder. Upon such termination, Lessor shall have the right to recover from Lessee:
(i) The worth at the time of award of the unpaid rental which
had been earned at the time of termination;
14 ,
(ii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid rental which would have been earned after termination until the time of award
exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could have been
reasonably avoided;
(iii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid rental for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of
such rental loss that the Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and
(iv) Any other amount necessary to compensate the Lessor for
all the detriment proximately caused by Lessee's failure to perform its obligations under
the 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
subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above shall be computed by allowing interest at three percent
(3%) over the prime rate then being charged by Bank of America, N.A. but in no event
greater than the maximum rate permitted by law. The worth at the time of award of the
amount referred to in subparagraph (iii) above shall be 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%), but in no event greater than ten percent (10%).
As used herein "rental" shall include the Monthly Rental, other sums
payable hereunder which are designated "rental" or "additional rental" and any other
sums payable hereunder on a regular basis such as reimbursement for real estate
taxes.
Such efforts as Lessor may make to mitigate the damages caused by
Lessee's breach of this Lease shall not constitute a waiver of Lessor's right to recover
damages against Lessee hereunder, nor shall anything herein contained affect Lessor's
right to indemnification against Lessee for any liability arising prior to the termination of
this Lease for personal injuries or property damage, and Lessee hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from any such injuries and damages, including all
attorneys' fees and costs incurred by Lessor in defending any action brought against
Lessor for any recovery thereof, and in enforcing the terms and provisions of this
indemnification against Lessee.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the breach of this Lease by Lessee,
or an abandonment of the Premises by Lessee, shall not constitute a termination of this
Lease, or of Lessee's right of possession hereunder, unless and until Lessor elects to
do so, and until such time Lessor shall have the right to enforce all of its rights and
remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover rent, and all other payments to
be made by Lessee hereunder, as they become due. Failure of Lessor to terminate this
Lease shall not prevent Lessor from later terminating this Lease or constitute a waiver
of Lessor's right to do so.
10.2 No Waiver. Acceptance of rental hereunder shall not be deemed a
waiver of any default or a waiver of any of Lessor's remedies.
15
10.3 Lessor's Default. Lessor shall not be in default unless Lessor fails
to perform obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time, but in no event later
than thirty (30) days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor and to the holder of any
first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name and address shall
have theretofore been furnished to Lessee in writing, specifying wherein Lessor has
failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor's
obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance then
Lessor shall not be deemed in default if Lessor commences performance within a (30)
day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. In no event shall
Lessee have the right to terminate this Lease as a result of Lessor's default and
Lessee's remedies shall be limited to damages and/or an injunction.
11.0 CONDEMNATION. In the event a condemnation or a transfer in lieu
thereof results in a taking of any portion of the Premises, Lessor may, or in the event a
condemnation or a transfer in lieu thereof results in a taking of twenty-five percent
(25%) or more of the Premises, Lessee may, upon written notice given within thirty (30)
days after such taking or transfer in lieu thereof, terminate this Lease. Lessee shall not
be entitled to share in any portion of the award and Lessee hereby expressly waives
any right or claim to any part thereof. Lessee shall, however, have the right to claim and
recover, only from the condemning authority (but not from Lessor), any amounts
necessary to reimburse Lessee for the cost of removing stock and fixtures. If this Lease
is not terminated as above provided, Lessor shall use a portion of the condemnation
award to restore the Premises.
12.0 MISCELLANEOUS.
12.1 Reservation of Right to Modify Property. Lessor hereby reserves
the right (but not the obligation) to renovate, modernize, rehabilitate, expand, reduce,
reconfigure, enclose and/or otherwise alter all or any portion of the Premises
(collectively "Modifications"), in such manner and at such time or times, throughout the
term of this Lease, as Lessor may, in its sole and absolute discretion, deem to be in the
best interests of the Property. Such Modifications may include, without limitation, the
right to construct new buildings on the Property for additional uses, to remove, renovate,
repair, add to, modernize or otherwise alter the building in which the Premises are
situated as well as other buildings, facilities, structures, malls, walkways, landscaping,
parking and common areas or other areas within the Property. In connection with any
and all such Modifications, Lessor may enter the Premises to the extent reasonably
required by Lessor to pursue and complete such Modifications. In addition, Lessor may
temporarily close portions of the parking and common areas and cause temporary
obstructions in connection with any Modifications. Lessee agrees that under no
circumstances shall the Modifications as to any portion of the Property or the
construction activity that takes place in the course of making the Modifications, or any
aspect thereof, including Lessor's entry into the Premises, constitute an eviction or
partial eviction of Lessee or a breach of Lessee's right to quiet enjoyment or of any
other provision of this Lease, nor entitle Lessee to damages, injunctive relief or other
equitable relief, nor entitle Lessee to any abatement or reduction in the Monthly Rental,
additional rental or other charges or sums due under this Lease; provided Lessor uses
16
reasonable efforts to mitigate any adverse effects on Lessee caused by the
Modifications.
12.2 Ent and Inspection. Lessee shall permit Lessor and his agents to
enter into and upon the Premises at all reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting
the same or for the purpose of maintaining the Premises as required by the terms of this
Lease or for the purpose of posting notices of non-liability for alterations, additions or
repairs, or for the purpose of placing upon the property in which the Premises are
located any usual or ordinary "For Sale" signs or any signs for public safety as
determined by Lessor. Lessor shall be permitted to do any of the above without any
rebate of rent and without any liability to Lessee for any loss of occupation or quiet
enjoyment of the Premises thereby occasioned. Lessee shall permit Lessor, at any time
within six (6) months prior to the expiration of this Lease, to place upon the Premises
any usual or ordinary "For Lease" signs, and during such (6) month period Lessor or his
agents may, during normal business hours, enter upon said Premises and exhibit same
to prospective Lessees.
12.3 Estoppel Certificate. If, as a result of a proposed sale, assignment,
or hypothecation of the Premises or the land thereunder by Lessor, or at any other time,
an estoppel certificate shall be requested of Lessee, Lessee agrees, within ten (10)
days thereafter, to deliver such estoppel certificate in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit "C" addressed to any existing or proposed mortgagee or proposed purchaser,
and to the Lessor. Lessee shall be liable for any loss or liability resulting from any
incorrect information certified, and such mortgagee and purchaser shall have the right to
rely on such estoppel certificate and financial statement.
12.4 Jurisdiction and Venue. The parties hereto agree that the State of
California is the proper jurisdiction for litigation of any matters relating to this Lease, and
service mailed to the address of Lessees set forth herein shall be adequate service for
such litigation. The parties further agree that Riverside County, California is the proper
place for venue as to any such litigation and Lessee agrees to submit to the personal
jurisdiction of such court in the event of such litigation.
12.5 Partial Invalidity. If any term, covenant, condition or provision of this
Lease is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable,
the remainder of the provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall in
no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereof.
12.6 Successors in Interest. The covenants herein contained shall,
subject to the provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind the heirs, successors,
executors, administrators and assigns of all the parties hereto; and all of the parties
hereto shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder.
12.7 No Oral Agreements. This (i) Lease covers in full each and every
agreement of every kind or nature whatsoever between the parties hereto concerning
this Lease, (ii) supersedes any and all previous obligations, agreements and
understandings, if any, between the parties, oral or written, and (iii) merges all
preliminary negotiations and agreements of whatsoever kind or nature herein. Lessee
acknowledges that no representations or warranties of any kind or nature not
specifically set forth herein have been made by Lessor or its agents or representatives.
12.8 Authority. In the event that Lessee is a corporation or a partnership,
each individual executing this Lease on behalf of said corporation or said partnership,
as the case may be, represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to
execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of said corporation or partnership, in
accordance with a duly adopted resolution of the Board of Directors, if a corporation, or
in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, if a partnership, and that this Lease is
binding upon said corporation or partnership in accordance with its terms. Lessee
represents and warrants to Lessor that the entering into this Lease does not violate any
provisions of any other agreement to which Lessee is bound.
12.9 Relationship of Parties. The relationship of the parties hereto is that
of Lessor and Lessee, and it is expressly understood and agreed that Lessor does not
in any way or for any purpose become a partner of Lessee in the conduct of Lessee's
business or otherwise, or a joint-venture with Lessee, and that the provisions of this
Lease and the agreements relating to rent payable hereunder are included solely for the
purpose of providing a method whereby rental payments are to be measured and
ascertained.
12.10 Nondiscrimination. Lessee herein covenants by and for itself, its
heirs, executors, administrators and assigns and all persons claiming under or through
it, and this Lease is made and accepted upon and subject to the following conditions:
That there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person or group of
persons on account of race, sex, marital status, color, creed, national origin or ancestry,
in the leasing, subleasing, transferring, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the
Premises herein leased, nor shall the Lessee itself, or any person claiming under or
through it, establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or
segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of
Lessees, Lessees, sub-Lessees, sublessees or vendees in the Premises.
12.11 Notices. Wherever in this Lease it shall be required or permitted
that notice and demand be given or served by either party to this Lease to or on the
other, such notice or demand shall be given or served in writing and shall not be
deemed to have been duly given or served unless in writing, and personally served or
forwarded by certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed, if to Lessor, as specified in
Section 1.9. Either party may change the address set forth herein by written notice by
certified mail to the other. Any notice or demand given by certified mail shall be effective
one (1) day subsequent to mailing.
12.12 Waiver. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy
by a non-defaulting party shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.
A party's consent to or approval of any act by the other party requiring the party's
consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the other
party's consent to or approval of any subsequent act. Any waiver by either party of any
18
default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the
same or any other provision of this Lease.
12.13 Exhibits and Addenda. The Exhibits and Addenda attached to this
Lease are made a part hereof as if fully set forth herein. In the event of a conflict
between the terms and provisions of Addenda and the terms and provisions of this
Lease, the terms and provisions of the Addenda shall prevail.
