Family YMCA of the Desert for the Jean M. Benson Child Care Center
By Minute Motion, authorize the City Manager to execute the Lease
Agreement between the City of Palm Desert (City) and the Family YMCA of
the Desert (YMCA) for the Jean M. Benson Child Care Center located at
75-443 Orange Blossom Lane (APN 634-061-035).
Strateqic Plan
This item is not addressed in the City's Strategic Plan.
Background Analvsis
In 1996, the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency (RDA) and the YMCA entered into a
five (5) year lease agreement for the facility located at 75-443 Orange Blossom Lane that
provided for the following:
• The YMCA would operate a child care program in the facility, and offer an incentive
program for Desert Rose residents, and for individuals living or working in the City.
• The YMCA would be responsible for insurance, taxes, and maintenance of the
building.
In 2001, the initial five (5) year term of the lease was extended to ten (10) years through
a lease extension dated December 13, 2001. This changed the lease expiration to
December 2006, and all other terms remained the same.
In December 2006, an amendment to the lease was executed, extending the lease term
to January 31, 2007, to allow more time to negotiate a long-term lease. All other lease
terms remained the same.
In January 2007, the second amendment to the lease was executed. This amendment
transferred the lease from the RDA to the City, and extended the term for five (5) years,
expiring January 11, 2012.

Lease Agreement between the City of Palm Desert and the YMCA for the Jean M. Benson
Child Care Center
Page 2 of 2
In 2017, the YMCA informed the City that their insurance carrier had requested a copy of
their current lease in order to properly insure the building. Since the most recent lease
expired in 2012, City staff worked with the City Attorney's office and the YMCA to draft a
new lease. The proposed lease has similar requirements as the previous leases for this
facility and has a 15 year initial term with two extension options of 10 years each. A copy
of the proposed lease is attached.
Fiscal Analvsis
The proposed lease requires the YMCA to pay the operating and maintenance expenses
of the building and an annual rent of $1.00, therefore, there is no impact to the general
fund.

information on the number of students, income level, and ages enrolled. Lessee agrees to make
any and all records and accounts available to Lessor for inspection at all reasonable times so that
Lessor can determine Lessee's compliance with this Lease. These records and accounts will be

Lease.

3.8 Nondiscrimination. Lessee covenants and agrees for itself, its agents and assigns,
and all persons or entities 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 any basis listed in subdivision (a) or (d) of Section 12955 of the Government Code, as
those bases are defined in Sections 12926, 12936.1, subdivision (m) and paragraph (1) of
subdivision (p) of Section 12955 and Section 12955.2 of the Government Code, in the leasing,
subleasing, transferring, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Premises 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 tenants, lessees, subtenants, sublessee or vendees in the Premises.
3.9 Liens. Lessee shall keep the Premises, including the Improvements, and the FF&E,
and any and all parts thereof, free from any and all liens arising out of any work performed,
materials furnished or obligations incurred by or for Lessee, and agrees to cause to be discharged

been filed or within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of written request from Lessor, whichever
shall be the sooner. Lessee shall give Lessor at least fifteen (15) calendar days written notice prior
to commencing or causing to be commenced any work on the Premises (whether prior or
subsequent to the commencement of the Term), so that Lessor shall have reasonable opportunity
to file and post notices of non -responsibility for Lessee's work. Lessor may condition its consent
to work upon Lessee posting lien and material and/or completion bonds in amounts as may be

expenses.

provisions of this Lease have been carried out with due diligence, care, and efficiency. Lessor will
submit its findings to the Lessee. If a deficiency exists, the Lessor shall notify the Lessee of the
deficiencies and allow the Lessee a reasonable amount of time to submit a program eliminating
such deficiencies. The Lessee shall cooperate in the evaluation process and shall provide all
materials and labor necessary to develop an objective evaluation. Lessor will exercise good faith
in making a determination if Lessee is in compliance with the obligations set forth in this Lease.
3.11 Inspection by Certified Access Specialist. Landlord discloses that the Premises
have undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist and such report have been provided
to Tenant prior to Lease execution for its inspection. The CASp report indicates non-
compliance. California Civil Code Section 1938 subsection (e) provides: "A Certified Access
Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises
comply with all of the applicable construction -related accessibility standards under state law.
Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial
property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection
of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if
requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the
KNO

time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and
the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction -related accessibility
standards within the premises." Pursuant to Civil Code Section 1938(b), Tenant acknowledges
and agrees that the CASp report provided by Landlord shall remain confidential and shall not be
shared with any other parties other than Tenant, its attorneys or contractors engaged to complete
any CASp repairs. If Tenant wishes to have the Premises inspected by a CASp in addition to the

sole cost and expense; (iii) the inspection must be scheduled through Landlord and in

correct any violation of construction -related accessibility standards that is noted in the CASp
report shall be Tenant's responsibility; and (v) Tenant must provide a copy of the CASp report to
Landlord on completion. By initialing below, Tenant represents that:

7.1.2(d) Lessor's rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance
required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not

7.1.2.(f) Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured
pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against the City of Palm Desert,
its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees, and volunteers, or shall specifically
allow Lessee or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to
waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Lessee hereby waives its own right of recovery against
Lessor, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its
subcontractors.
7.1.2(g) Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). Lessee acknowledges
and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the Lessor to inform Lessee of
noncompliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the Lessor nor does it
waive any rights hereunder.
7.1.2(h) Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or
limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other
requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference
to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and
72500.00001 V.32566283.2
is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or
a waiver of any type. If the Lessee maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, Lessor
requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Lessee. Any
available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage
shall be available to the Lessor.
7.1.2(i) Notice of cancellation. Lessee agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker
and insurers to provide to Lessor with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for

required coverage.
7.1.20) Additional insured status. General liability and all applicable required
insurance policies shall provide, or be endorsed to provide, that the City of Palm Desert and its
officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such
policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.
7.1.2(k) Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages
required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting
endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to Lessor and approved of in writing.
7.1.2(1) Separation of Insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for
all additional insureds ensuring that Lessee's insurance shall apply separately to each insured
against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer's limits of
liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross -liability exclusions.
7.1.2(m) Pass Through Clause. Lessee agrees to ensure that its consultants,
subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in
the project by Lessee, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required
of Lessee. Lessee agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility
for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section.
Lessee agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others
engaged in the project will be submitted to Lessor for review.
7.1.2(n) Lessor's right to revise specifications. Lessor, or its Risk Manager,
reserves the right at any time during the term of the Agreement to change the amounts and types
of insurance required by giving Lessee ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If
such change results in substantial additional cost to Lessee, Lessor and Lessee may negotiate a fair
compensation. If Lessor reduces the insurance requirements, the change shall go into effect
immediately and require no advanced written notice.
7.1.2(o) Self -insured retentions. Any self -insured retentions must be declared to
and approved by Lessor. Lessor reserves the right to require that self -insured retentions be
eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply
with these specifications unless approved by Lessor.

Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary
for its proper protection.
7.2 Covenant to Indemnify and Hold Harmless. Lessee shall indemnify, defend, protect
and hold harmless Lessor, its officers, officials, employees, agents, volunteers, and their successor
or assigns (Lessor's "indemnitees") and save them from and against any and all claims, actions,
losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including attorneys' fees, in connection with the loss of
life, bodily injury and/or damage to property arising from or out of or in connection with any
occurrence in, upon or at the Premises, or the occupancy or use by Lessee of the Premises or any

employees, agents, licensees, contractors, invites or subtenants, and their successors and assigns,
excepting that the foregoing indemnification and hold harmless provision shall not apply in the
event of any uninsured willful or actively negligent misconduct on behalf of Lessor or any of its
indemnitees or in the event any such claims, actions, losses, damages, liability, costs, or expenses
arise out of a breach by Lessor of its obligations under this Lease.
If Lessor is made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Lessee, then Lessee
shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold Lessor and its indemnitees harmless and shall pay all
costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred or paid by Lessor in connection with such
litigation. Lessor may, at its option, require Lessee to assume Lessor's defense in any action
covered by this Section 7.2 through counsel selected by Lessor and reasonably satisfactory to
Lessee. Lessee, as a material part of the consideration to Lessor, hereby assumes all risk of damage
to property or injury to persons in, upon or about the Premises and Improvements from any cause
whatsoever, and Lessee hereby waives all its claims in respect thereof against Lessor excepting
only damage or injury arising out of (i) the uninsured willful or actively negligent misconduct of
Lessor or any of its indemnitees, or (ii) a breach by Lessor of its obligations under this Lease.
7.3 Exemption of Lessor from Liability. Lessor shall not be liable for injury or damage to the
person or goods, wares, merchandise or other property of Lessee, Lessee's employees, contractors,
invitees, customers, or any other person in or about the Premises, whether such damage or injury
is caused by or results from, but is not limited to, fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from
the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, fire sprinklers, wires, appliances,
plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause, whether said injury or
damage results from conditions arising upon the Premises, from other sources or places, and
regardless of whether the cause of such damage or injury or the means of repairing the same is
accessible or not.
ARTICLE 8
UTILITY CHARGES
Lessee shall pay all charges for gas, water, sewer, electricity, telephone, security, and other
M
72500.0000 1 \3256628 3.2
utility services used on or in the Premises together with any taxes or penalties thereon.
ARTICLE 9
ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS
Without Lessor's prior written consent, which consent may be withheld or granted in
Lessor's sole discretion, Lessee shall not have the right to make changes or alterations to the
Premises or the Improvements whether structural or non-structural, systemic or non -systemic. If
Lessor approves any alterations or additions, then before the commencement of any work, Lessee
shall pay the amount of any increased premiums on insurance policies provided for hereunder.
Lessor shall in no event be required to make any alterations, rebuilding, replacement, changes,
additions, or improvements or repairs to the Premises. If Lessee wishes to make any alteration or
addition, or make any repairs to the Premises which would result in an alteration or addition to the
Premises, Lessee shall submit to Lessor for its approval documentation which describes the desired
repairs, including floor plans, building sections, building materials and components, samples of
proposed exterior building materials, and the like, to the extent relevant to the particular repair.
All changes, alterations, rebuilding, replacements, additions, improvements and repairs to the
Premises made by Lessee shall be deemed to have attached to the realty and to have become the
property of Lessor upon the expiration of the Term or the sooner termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 10
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION; CASUALTY LOSS AND RESTORATION
10.1 Non -Termination. Except as provided herein, no destruction or damage to the
Improvements or the Premises by fire, windstorm or other casualty whether insured of uninsured
shall entitle Lessee to terminate this Lease. Lessor and Lessee agree that the terms of this Lease
shall govern the effect of any damage to or destruction of the Premises and the Improvements with
respect to the termination of this Lease and hereby waive the provisions of any present or future
statute to the extent it is inconsistent herewith.
10.2 Repair of Damage.
10.2.1 Obligation to Repair Damage Due to Casualty Covered by Insurance. If the
Premises are partially destroyed or rendered partially untenantable by fire or other casualty
required to be insured against by Lessee, Lessee shall promptly proceed to obtain insurance
proceeds. The Premises shall be deemed partially destroyed if the cost of reconstruction exceeds
fifty percent (50%) of the replacement cost of the Improvements. Upon adjustment of the loss and
delivery of funds, Lessor shall commence taking the steps necessary to begin reconstruction and
shall complete the same as soon as possible so that Lessee may continue in occupancy.
10.2.2 Obligation to Repair Damage Due to Casualty Not Covered by Insurance or
Following a Total Destruction. If the Premises are totally or partially destroyed or rendered wholly
untenantable by a casualty not required to be insured against by Lessee, or if the Premises are
totally destroyed, then either Lessee or Lessor shall have the right to terminate this Lease.
72500.00001 \32 566283.2
10.3 Continued Operations. During any period of repair, Lessee shall continue, or cause
the continuation of, the operation of its Programs on the Premises and use of the Premises by the
Lessee to the extent reasonably practicable. However, irrespective of the continued operation
during such period of repair, the rent and other charges payable hereunder shall not be deferred
and shall not be abated. Upon completion of such repair and restoration, Lessee shall promptly
refixture and restock the Improvements and all FF&E, if necessary, substantially to the condition
prior to the casualty, or as otherwise required by this Lease, whichever is greater, and shall reopen
if closed by the casualty.
10.4 Assignment of Insurance Proceeds. If for any reason this Lease is terminated by
reason of a casualty, all insurance proceeds covering the Improvements, the Premises, or the
FF&E, and any personal property used in the operation of the Premises, shall be the property of
Lessor, and Lessee hereby assigns such insurance proceeds to Lessor.
ARTICLE 11
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
11.1 Lessor's Consent Required. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary,
Lessee agrees and covenants (which covenants shall be binding upon the successors and assigns
of Lessee) that Lessee shall not, either voluntarily or by operation of law, assign, sell, encumber,
pledge or otherwise transfer all or any part of Lessee's leasehold estate hereunder, or permit the
Premises to be occupied by anyone other than Lessee, Lessee's employees or invitees, or sublet
the Premises, or any portion thereof, without Lessor's prior written consent. No assignment,
whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law, under legal process or proceedings, by
receivership, in bankruptcy, or otherwise, and no subletting shall be valid or effective without such
prior written consent, and at Lessor's election, shall constitute a default. Lessor's consent to any
proposed transfer of Lessee's leasehold estate will not be unreasonably withheld.
11.2 Lessee Remains Obligated. No subletting or assignment, even with the consent of
Lessor, shall relieve Lessee of its obligation to pay rent and to perform all of its other obligations
hereunder. The acceptance by Lessor of any payment due hereunder from any person or entity
other than Lessee shall not be construed as a waiver by Lessor of any provision of this Lease or as
a consent to any assignment or subletting. Consent by Lessor to an assignment of the Lease or to
a subletting of the Premises shall not operate as a waiver or estoppel to the future enforcement by
Lessor of its rights pursuant to this Lease to approve other assignments or sublettings.
ARTICLE 12
DEFAULT
12.1 Events of Default. The word "default," as used in this Section 12.1, shall mean and
include any one or more of the following events or occurrences:
12.1.1 The failure by Lessee to make any payment of Base Rent, additional rent,
or other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, when due and the continuance of such
-12-
72500.00001 \32566283.2
failure for a period often (10) calendar days after Lessor has given Lessee written notice specifying
the same;
12.1.2 The cessation of operation of the child care center from the Premises for a
period of five (5) consecutive days;
12.1.3 The failure of Lessee to perform any other term, condition, covenant or
agreement of this Lease not previously described, and the continuation of such failure for a period
of thirty (30) calendar days after Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice specifying the same,
or in the case of a situation in which the default cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30)
calendar days, if Lessee shall not promptly, within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such
notice, commence to remedy the situation by a means that can reasonably be expected to remedy
the situation within a reasonable period of time, and diligently pursue the same to completion;
12.1.4 The abandonment by Lessee of the Premises or a substantial portion thereof.
12.1.5 Lessee's (i) application for, consent to, or suffering of, the appointment of
a receiver, trustee, or liquidator for all or for a substantial portion of its assets; (ii) making a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors; (iii) being adjudged as bankrupt; (iv) filing a voluntary
petition or suffering an involuntary petition under any bankruptcy, arrangement, reorganizations,
or insolvency law (unless in the case of an involuntary petition, the same is dismissed within thirty
(30) calendar days of such filing); or (v) incurring any attachment, levy, execution, or seizure of
all or a substantial portion of Lessee's assets or of Lessee's interest in this Lease and the
continuation thereof for fifteen (15) consecutive days.
12.2 Remedies.
12.2.1 General. In the event of any default by Lessee, including the expiration of
any applicable cure period, Lessor may terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by
any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall immediately surrender
possession of the Premises to Lessor.
In such event Lessor shall be entitled to 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 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 loss that Lessee
proves could be reasonably avoided; and
(d) Any other amount deemed necessary and/or allowable by applicable
statute or decision 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 events, would
-13-
7 2500.(XX)01 \32560283.2
be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering possession of the
Premises, expenses of reletting, expenses of restoring the Premises to the condition required
hereunder (if applicable), reasonable attorneys' fees, and any other reasonable costs.
The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts referred to in the subparagraphs, above,
shall be computed by allowing interest at a rate equal to ten percent (10%) from the dates such
amounts accrued to Lessor until the date of payment by Lessee.
12.2.2 Cumulative Remedies. Except as may be specifically provided herein, the
rights and remedies reserved to Lessor and Lessee herein, including those not specifically
described, shall be cumulative and, except as provided by California statutory or case law in effect
at the time, either Lessor or Lessee may pursue any or all of such rights and remedies at the same
time or otherwise.
12.2.3 Lessor's Non -Waiver. No delay or omission of Lessor to exercise any right
or remedy shall be construed as a waiver of any right or remedy or of any default by Lessee
hereunder. The acceptance by Lessor of rent or any other charge hereunder shall not be a waiver
of any preceding breach or default by Lessee of any provision hereof, other than the failure of
Lessee to pay the particular rent accepted, regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such preceding
breach or default at the time of acceptance of such rent, or a waiver of Lessor's right to exercise
any remedy available to Lessor by virtue of such breach or default. The acceptance of any payment
from a debtor in possession, a trustee, a receiver or any other person acting on behalf of Lessee or
Lessee's estate shall not waive or cure a default under Section 12.1.5.
12.2.4 Lessor's Reentry. Lessee hereby irrevocably consents to Lessor's peaceable
reentry, if Lessor so elects, to the Premises upon the occurrence of any of the events of default
specified above, including the expiration of any applicable cure period.
12.2.5 Lessor's Advances. In the event of any default by Lessee in the payment of
money or default by Lessee in the performance of Lessee's obligations required under this Lease,
and the expiration of any period expressly provided for herein for Lessee to cure said default after
the delivery of notice by Lessor, in addition to the other remedies herein granted to Lessor, Lessor
may, but shall not be obligated to do so, and without waiving or releasing Lessee from any
obligations of this Lease make any payment and perform any other act on Lessee's part to be made
or performed as provided in this Lease. All sums paid by Lessor and all necessary incidental costs,
together with interest thereon at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the date of the
payment by Lessor shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor on demand. The sums shall be deemed to
be additional rent and subject to the same consequences as herein provided for failure to pay rent.
12.3 Default by Lessor. Lessor shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance
of any obligation required to be performed by it hereunder unless and until it has failed to perform
such obligation within thirty (30) calendar days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor specifying
in reasonable detail the nature and extent of any such failure; provided, however, that if the nature
of Lessor's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) calendar days are required for its
performance, then Lessor shall not be deemed to be in default if it shall commence such
performance within such thirty (30) calendar day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the
same to completion.
-14-
72500.00001 \32566283.2
12.4 Legal Expenses and Collection Costs. If either Party incurs any expense, including
actual costs of collection, reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses of discovery, preparation for
litigation, expert witness fees, and litigation expenses and costs, in connection with any action or
proceeding instituted by either Party by reason of any default or alleged default of the other Party
hereunder, the Party prevailing in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover its
reasonable expenses from the other Party. For purposes of this provision, in any unlawful detainer
or other action or proceeding instituted by Lessor based upon any default or alleged default by
Lessee hereunder, Lessor shall be deemed the Prevailing Party if (a) judgement is entered in favor
of Lessor, or (b) prior to trial or judgement Lessee shall pay the rent and charges claimed by Lessor,
or eliminate the condition(s), cease the act(s) or otherwise cure the omission(s) claimed by Lessor
to constitute a default by Lessee hereunder.
ARTICLE 13
HOLDING OVER
This Lease shall terminate and become null and void without further notice upon the
expiration of the Term herein specified, and any holding over by Lessee after such expiration shall
not constitute a renewal or extension hereof or give Lessee any rights under this Lease, except
when in writing signed by both Parties hereto. If Lessee holds over at the Premises, Lessee shall
be liable to Lessor for the fair rental value of the Premises during such period.
ARTICLE 14
ACCESS BY LESSOR
In addition to the right of Lessor to reserve use of the Premises under Section 3.3, Lessor
and its agents, contractors, servants, and employees of Lessor shall have the right, after reasonable
notice to Lessee, to enter the Premises during normal business hours (a) to examine the Premises,
to perform any obligations of Lessor or to exercise any right or remedy reserved to Lessor in this
Lease; (b) to exhibit the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees, or lessees of Lessor's
interest therein; (c) to make such repairs as Lessor may be entitled to make after a default by Lessee
under Article 12, above; and (d) to take all materials into and upon the Premises that may be
required in connection with such repairs, provided that any such entry shall be performed in such
a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with Lessee's use of the Premises. if Lessor
exercises its rights of entry in compliance with this Article 14, such entry shall not constitute a
constructive or actual eviction of Lessee, in whole or in part, and the rent and other charges
hereunder shall not abate while any such repairs are being made. If, during the last month of the
Term, Lessee shall have removed all or substantially all of Lessee's property therefrom, Lessor
may immediately enter and alter, renovate and redecorate the Premises without elimination or
abatement of rent or other charges and without other compensation and such action shall have no
effect upon this Lease. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be deemed or construed to impose
upon Lessor any obligation, responsibility or liability whatsoever for the care, supervision or repair
of the Premises.

ARTICLE 15
LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS AT THE END OF THE TERM
Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, if the Lessee has faithfully and
fully performed all of the terms, conditions, and covenants of this Lease to be performed by the
Lessee, but not otherwise, the Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove from the Premises
all of its movable trade fixtures and equipment, and such other items the Lessee has installed or
placed on the Premises, and the Lessee shall repair all damage to the Improvements resulting from
such removal. The Lessee shall thereupon surrender the Premises and the Improvements in the
same condition as they were when the Improvements were first completed, reasonable wear and
tear and damage by any insured casualty excepted, clean and free of debris. The Lessee shall repair
any damage to the Improvements occasioned by the installation or removal of the Lessee's trade
fixtures, furnishings and equipment. If the Lessee has not fully and faithfully performed all terms,
conditions, and covenants of this Lease to be performed by the Lessee, the Lessee shall
nevertheless remove its personal property from the Premises in the manner aforesaid within fifteen
(15) calendar days after receipt of written direction to do so from the Lessor. In the event the
Lessee shall fail to remove any of its personal property as provided herein, the Lessor may, but is
not obligated, at the Lessee's expense and with interest at the highest rate then allowed to be
charged by non-exempt lenders under the usury laws of the State from the date of payment by the
Lessor, remove all such personal property not so removed and repair all damage to the
Improvements resulting from such removal and may, but is not obligated to, at the Lessee's
expense, store the same in any public or private warehouse, and the Lessor shall have no liability
to the Lessee for any loss or damage to the Lessee's property caused by or resulting from such
removal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary otherwise stated in this Lease, the Lessee shall
leave the air lines, power panels, electrical distribution systems, lighting fixtures, space heaters,
air conditioning, plumbing, and fencing on the Premises in good operating condition.
ARTICLE 16
QUIET ENJOYMENT
Upon payment by Lessee of the rents provided herein, and upon the observance and
performance of all of the covenants, terms, and conditions on the part of Lessee to be performed
hereunder, Lessor covenants and warrants that Lessee may peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy
the Premises for the Term.
ARTICLE 17
TAXES
Lessee shall be responsible for, and agrees to pay, as additional rent, prior to delinquency,
any and all real estate or property taxes and assessments, special assessments, possessory interest
taxes, levies, fees, and other governmental charges of every kind or nature (hereinafter collectively
called "Taxes") in the event such Taxes are levied or assessed by municipal, county, state, federal,
or other taxing or assessing authorities or governmental agencies or entities upon, against, or with
respect to (i) the Premises or any portion thereof; (ii) all fixtures, equipment, and any other property
M
72500.00001 V32566283.2
of any kind owned by Lessee or placed, installed, or located within, upon, or about the Premises
for which Lessor might be assessed or which might become a lien on the Premises if not paid by
Lessee; (iii) all alterations, additions, and improvements of whatsoever kind or nature, if any, made
to the Premises or the Improvements; (iv) rentals or other charges payable by Lessee to Lessor
(other than state and federal income taxes applicable to Lessor); and (v) any other interest in the
Premises (including the leasehold interest created by this Lease), irrespective of whether any of
the items described in clauses (i) through (v) above are assessed as real or personal property, and
irrespective of whether any of such items are assessed to or against Lessor, Lessee or any other
person.
ARTICLE 18
FORCE MAJEURE
In the event the performance by either Party of any of its obligations hereunder is delayed
by reason of the act or neglect of the other party, act of God, stormy or inclement weather, strike,
labor dispute, boycott, lockout or other like defensive action by such party, inability to obtain labor
or materials, governmental restrictions, riot, insurrections, war, catastrophe, casualty, act of the
public enemy, or any other cause (financial inability excepted), whether similar or dissimilar,
beyond the reasonable control of the Party from whom such performance is due, the period for the
commencement or completion thereof shall be extended for a period equal to the period during
which performance is so delayed.
ARTICLE 19
MISCELLANEOUS
19.1 Assumption of Risk, Waiver, and Lessor's Non -liability. To the maximum extent
allowed by law, except for Lessor's or Lessor's officers, employees, and agents willful or actively
negligent acts, Lessee assumes any and all risk of loss, damage or injury of any kind to any person
or property which is in, on or about the Premises. Lessee's assumption of risk shall include, without
limitation, loss or damage caused by defects within the Premises or any fixture therein, accident,
fire or other casualty on the Premises. To the maximum extent allowed by law, except for Lessor's
willful or actively negligent acts, Lessee hereby waives all claims and demands against Lessor, its
respective officials, officers, employees, volunteers and agents for injury to persons, damage to
property or any other interest of Lessee sustained by Lessor or any person claiming to be Lessee
resulting from any occurrence on or about the Premises.
Lessee has been advised by its legal counsel concerning the content and effect of
California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides:
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor or
releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor
at the time of executing the release and that, which if known by him
or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the
debtor or released party.
-17-
72500.00001 \32566283.2
Lessee hereby waives the benefits of California Civil Code Section 1542 and all other
state or federal statutes or judicial decisions of similar effect. The provisions of this Section shall
survive the termination of this Lease.
19.2 Notices. All notices, demands, or other writings to be made, given or sent
hereunder, or which may be so given or made or sent by either Lessor or Lessee to the other shall
be deemed to have been given when in writing and personally delivered or if mailed on the third

the Parties hereto, nor by any third party, as creating the relationship of principal and agent or of
partnership or of joint venture between the Parties hereto, it being understood and agreed that
neither the method of computation of rent, nor any other provision contained herein, nor any acts
of the Parties herein, shall be deemed to create any relationship between the Parties hereto other
than the relationship of Lessor and Lessee.
19.4 Accord and Satisfaction. No payment by Lessee or receipt by Lessor of a lesser
amount than the rent or other charges herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account

term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by
law. No acquisition by Lessor of all or any of the interest of Lessee in or to the Premises or the
Improvements, and no acquisition by Lessee of all or any interest of Lessor in or to the Premises
shall constitute or work a merger of the respective interest, unless expressly provided for.

or cure any default by Lessee under this Lease.
19.11 No Option. The submission of this Lease to the Lessee shall be for examination
purposes only, and does not and shall not constitute a reservation of or option for the Lessee to
lease, or otherwise create any interest by the Lessee in the Premises or any portion thereof.
Execution of this Lease by the Lessee and return to the Lessor shall not be binding upon the Lessor,
notwithstanding any time interval until the Lessor has in fact executed and delivered an executed
counterpart of this Lease to the Lessee.
19.12 Controlling Law. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of California.
19.13 Specific Performance. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as or shall
have the effect of abridging the right of either Lessor or Lessee to obtain specific performance of
any and all of the covenants or obligations of the other Party under this Lease.
19.14 Survival of Indemnities and Warranties. The obligations of the indemnifying Party
under each and every indemnification and hold harmless provision contained in this Lease shall
