Correspondence
Recommendation
By Minute Motion:
1. Receive and file the lessee option to extend Lease Agreement
(C29860) with the Palm Springs Art Museum in Palm Desert.
Discussion
Originally approved in July of 2010, the lease agreement with the Palm Springs Art
Museum in Palm Desert (PSAM) was a five year term, with five additional five year
extensions for a total of a possible 30 year lease. With the original five year term coming
to a close, the PSAM has formally notified the City of their desire to extend the lease for
an additional five year term. The term of the lease and extensions are at the discretion
of the lessee so there is no action required of the Council at this time except to receive
and file this report.
The lease agreement with the PSAM does require the City to reimburse the museum for
numerous costs associated with operating the facility. Staff estimates costs can be as
high as $135,000 annually for items such as; sculpture changes, honorariums,
building/landscape maintenance, insurance, etc. Costs can be lower if the museum
does not rotate sculptures as often. The museum does pay common area maintenance
charges (CAM) to the City on an annual basis for their portion of the Entrada del Paseo
complex.

limited circumstances, solely for pedestrians.
2.2 Condition; Compliance with Laws. Lessee shall lease the Premises in their "AS -IS"
condition, without representation or warranty, express or implied, and Lessee hereby
acknowledges that in no event shall Lessor be obligated to make any alterations, repairs or
improvements to the Premises, except as otherwise provided herein.

assumes all responsibility therefor. In addition, Lessee hereby expressly acknowledges that
Lessee has had full opportunity to inspect the Premises (including, without limitation the
presence/absence of hazardous materials, the condition of fixtures and equipment, and whether
the improvements comply with law). Lessor hereby agrees to make any changes to the Premises
required by existing laws or by amendments to existing laws or by new laws.
2.3 Sculpture Garden, Multi -Sensory Gardens, Plaza, Carriage Lane and Parking
Spaces. Lessee shall be responsible for transportation, installation, and removal of sculptures;
however, Lessor shall reimburse Lessee all reasonable costs in connection with the

removal, including transportation of each sculpture, unless approved by the Lessor. Lessor shall
be responsible for accomplishing all tasks and paying all costs associated with the sculptures
located within the Sculpture Garden and Multi -Sensory Gardens, including without limitation,
the installation of bases and/or foundations for the sculptures, lighting, cleaning and ongoing
maintenance as needed or reasonably requested by Lessee. Lessor shall pay to Lessee the sum of
$2,575.00 as a one-time honorarium for each piece of sculpture placed by Lessee at the Sculpture

shall cooperate in the selection and approval of sculptures to be placed in the Sculpture Garden,
Plaza or Multi -Sensory Gardens, but the final determination of the selection of sculptures shall

3
Palm Springs Art Museum. Palm Desert Lease 7/MO10
the Gardens belongs, in most cases, to the respective artists, use of any visual images of such
works by Lessor must be approved by the Lessee and copyright approval(s) must be obtained
from the respective artist(s). Lessor shall be responsible to insure all sculptures at the Sculpture
Garden and the remainder of the Nonexclusive Use Areas against loss, damage or theft in such
amounts as are reported by Lessee to Lessor, and determined to be reasonable and appropriate by
Lessor and Lessee, but in no event less than the aggregate fair market value of all sculptures nor
more than $20,000,000 or such greater amount as may be subsequently agreed upon by the
parties. Lessor shall make no material change in the Sculpture Garden, Plaza or Multi -Sensory
Gardens during the initial or any extended term(s) hereof without the prior written consent of
Lessee, which shall not unreasonably be withheld. During the initial and any extended term(s)
hereof, Lessee shall provide a sculpture expert to work with Lessor in connection with the
maintenance and appearance of the Sculpture Garden and Multi -Sensory Gardens, which
sculpture expert shall initially be Lessee's Executive Director, Dr. Steven Nash, PhD.
3. Possession. Lessor shall not be required to deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee

purpose. Lessee shall not use or permit the use of the Premises in a manner that is unlawful,

neighboring premises or properties. Lessee acknowledges that Lessee's obligation to maintain
the Museum open to the public as set forth in paragraph 1.6 above, and maintain an art collection
of comparable size and quality to other art museums of similar size (8500 square feet) is a
material part of the consideration to Lessor, and Lessee's failure to do so will be a material
breach of this Lease.

shall mean any product, substance, or waste whose presence, use, manufacture, disposal,
transportation, or release, either by itself or in combination with other materials expected to be

Palm Springs Art Museum, Palm Desert lease 7/2/2010
(b) Use Requires Consent. Lessee shall not engage in any activity in or on
the Premises, which constitutes a Reportable Use of Hazardous Substances without the express
prior written consent of Lessor and timely compliance (at Lessee's expense) with all Applicable
Requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may use any ordinary and customary
materials reasonably required to be used in the normal course of the Agreed Use, ordinary office
supplies (copier toner, liquid paper, glue, etc.) and common household cleaning materials, so
long as such use is in compliance with all Applicable Requirements, does not negate LEED
status is not a Reportable Use, and does not expose the Premises or neighboring property to any
meaningful risk of contamination or damage or expose Lessor to any liability therefor. In
addition, Lessor may condition its consent to any Reportable Use upon receiving such additional
assurances as Lessor reasonably deems necessary to protect itself, the public, the Premises and/or
the environment against damage, contamination, injury and/or liability, including, but not limited
to, the installation (and removal on or before Lease expiration or termination) of protective
modifications (such as concrete encasements).
(c) Duty to Inform Lessor. If Lessee knows, or has reasonable cause to
believe, that a Hazardous Substance has come to be located in, on, under or about the Premises,
other than as previously consented to by Lessor, Lessee shall immediately give written notice of
such fact to Lessor, and provide Lessor with a copy of any report, notice, claim or other
documentation which it has concerning the presence of such Hazardous Substance.
(d) Lessee Remediation. Lessee shall not cause or permit any Hazardous
Substance to be spilled or released in, on, under, or about the Premises (including through the

Applicable Requirements and take all investigatory and/or remedial action reasonably
recommended, whether or not formally ordered or required, for the cleanup of any contamination
of, and for the maintenance, security and/or monitoring of the Premises or neighboring
properties, that was caused or materially contributed to by Lessee, or pertaining to or involving
any Hazardous Substance brought onto the Premises during the term of this Lease, by or for
Lessee, or any third party.
(e) Lessee Indemnification. Lessee shall indemnify, defend and hold Lessor,
its agents, employees, lenders, if any, harmless from and against any and all loss of rents and/or
damages, liabilities, judgments, claims, expenses, penalties, and attorneys' and consultants' fees
arising out of or involving any Hazardous Substance brought onto the Premises by or for Lessee,
or any third party (provided, however, that Lessee shall have no liability under this Lease with
respect to underground migration of any Hazardous Substance under the Premises from adjacent
properties not caused or contributed to by Lessee). Lessee's obligations shall include, but not be
limited to, the effects of any contamination or injury to person, property or the environment
created or suffered by Lessee, and the cost of investigation, removal, remediation, restoration
and/or abatement, and shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. No termination,
cancellation or release agreement entered into by Lessor and Lessee shall release Lessee
from its obligations under this Lease with respect to Hazardous Substances, unless
specifically so agreed by Lessor in writing at the time of such agreement.
(f) Investigations and Remediations. Lessee shall have the responsibility to
pay for any investigations or remediation measures required by governmental entities having

Lessee's use (including the Lessee's Work and the "Alterations", as defined in Paragraph 5.3(a)
below) of the Premises.
(g) Lessor Termination Option. If a Hazardous Substance Condition (see
Paragraph 7.1(e)) occurs during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall investigate and remediate it
as required by the Applicable Requirements and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.
4.3 Inspection; Compliance. Lessor and Lessor's consultants shall have the right to enter into
Premises at any time, in the case of an emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times after
reasonable notice, for the purpose of inspecting the condition of the Premises and for verifying
compliance by Lessee with this Lease. The cost of any such inspections shall be paid by Lessor,
unless a violation of Applicable Requirements, or a Hazardous Substance Condition (see
Paragraph 4.2) is found to exist or be imminent, or the inspection is requested or ordered by a
governmental authority. In such case, Lessee shall upon request reimburse Lessor for the cost of
such inspection, so long as such inspection is reasonably related to the violation or
contamination.

or any part of any Lessee Owned Alterations or Utility Installations made without the required
consent.
(c) Surrender; Restoration. Lessee shall surrender the Premises and
Nonexclusive Use Areas by the Expiration Date or any earlier termination date, with all of the
improvements, parts and surfaces thereof broom clean and free of debris, and in good operating
order, condition and state of repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. "Ordinary wear and tear"
shall not include any damage or deterioration that would have been prevented by good
maintenance practice. Lessee shall repair any damage occasioned by the installation,
maintenance or removal of Trade Fixtures, Lessee owned Alterations and/or Utility Installations,
furnishings, and equipment as well as the removal of any storage tank installed by or for Lessee.
Lessee shall completely remove from the Premises any and all Hazardous Substances brought
onto the Premises by or for Lessee, or any third party (except Hazardous Substances which were
deposited via underground migration from areas outside of the Premises) even if such removal
would require Lessee to perform or pay for work that exceeds statutory requirements. Trade
Fixtures shall remain the property of Lessee and shall be removed by Lessee. Any personal
property of Lessee not removed on or before the Expiration Date or any earlier termination date
shall be deemed to have been abandoned by Lessee and may be disposed of or retained by Lessor
as Lessor may desire. The failure by Lessee to timely vacate the Premises pursuant to this
Paragraph 5.4(c) without the express written consent of Lessor shall constitute a holdover under
the provisions of Paragraph 23 below.
6. Insurance; Indemnity.
6.1 Liability Insurance.
(a) Premises - Carried by Lessee. Lessee shall obtain and keep in force a
Commercial General Liability policy of insurance protecting Lessee and Lessor as an additional
insured against claims for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage based upon or
arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises. Such insurance
shall be on an occurrence basis providing single limit coverage in an amount not less than
$2,000,000 per occurrence with an annual aggregate of not less than $10,000,000, an "Additional
Insured -Managers or Lessors of Premises Endorsement" and contain the "Amendment of the
Pollution Exclusion Endorsement" for damage caused by heat, smoke or fumes from a hostile
fire. The policy shall not contain any intra-insured exclusions as between insured persons or
organizations, but shall include coverage for liability assumed under this Lease as an "insured
contract" for the performance of Lessee's indemnity obligations under this Lease. The limits of
said insurance shall not, however, limit the liability of Lessee nor relieve Lessee of any
obligation hereunder. The policy must provide for the payment of defense costs in addition to
the coverage amounts stated therein. All insurance carried by Lessee shall be primary to and not
contributory with any similar insurance carried by Lessor, whose insurance shall be considered
excess insurance only. The certificate of insurance and additional insured endorsement is subject
to approval of Lessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Palm Springs Art Museum. Palm Desert Lease 112/2010
(b) Premises Carried by Lessor. Lessor may maintain, at its sole cost and
expense, liability insurance as described in Paragraph 6.1(a), in addition to, and not in lieu of, the
insurance required to be maintained by Lessee. Lessee shall not be named as an additional
insured therein.
(c) Nonexclusive Use Areas - Carried by Lessor. Lessor shall obtain and
keep in force an insurance program equivalent to a Commercial General Liability policy of
insurance protecting Lessor and Lessee as an additional insured against claims for bodily injury,
personal injury and property damage based upon or arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy
or maintenance of the Nonexclusive Use Areas. Such insurance shall be on an occurrence basis
providing single limit coverage in an amount not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence with an
annual aggregate of not less than $10,000,000, an "Additional Insured -Managers or Lessors of
Premises Endorsement". The policy shall not contain any intra-insured exclusions as between
insured persons or organizations, but shall include coverage for liability assumed under this
Lease as an "insured contract" for the performance of Lessor's obligations under this Lease. The
limits of said insurance shall not, however, limit the liability of Lessor nor relieve Lessor of any
obligation hereunder. The policy must provide for the payment of defense costs in addition to
the coverage amounts stated therein. All insurance carried by Lessor shall be primary to and not
contributory with any similar insurance carried by Lessee, whose insurance shall be considered
excess insurance only. The certificate of insurance and additional insured endorsement, or
equivalent, is subject to approval of Lessee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(d) Nonexclusive Use Areas - Carried by Lessee. Lessee may maintain, at
its sole cost and expense, liability insurance as described in Paragraph 6.1(c), in addition to, and
not in lieu of, the insurance required to be maintained by Lessor. Lessor shall not be named as an
additional insured therein.
6.2 Property Insurance — Building and Improvements. Lessor shall obtain and keep in force
a policy or policies in the name of Lessor, with loss payable to Lessor, except to the extent
coverage is required to be provided by Lessee below, covering the Premises and the
Nonexclusive Use Areas. The amount of such insurance shall be equal to the full replacement
cost of the Premises and any statuary or other artwork in the Nonexclusive Use Areas, as the
same shall exist from time to time, but in no event more than the commercially reasonable and
available insurable value of the statuary to a maximum of $20,000,000, with a deductible of not
to exceed $5,000. Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures, Statuary
(except statuary located in the Nonexclusive Use Areas), Art, owned or on loan to Lessee, and
Lessee's personal property shall be insured by Lessee under Paragraph 6.3. If the coverage is
available and commercially appropriate, such policy or policies shall insure against all risks of
direct physical loss, theft, vandalism, or other damage including coverage for debris removal and
the enforcement of any Applicable Requirements requiring the upgrading, demolition,
reconstruction or replacement of any portion of the Premises as the result of a covered loss. Said
policy or policies shall also contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu of any coinsurance
clause, waiver of subrogation, and inflation guard protection causing an increase in the annual
property insurance coverage amount by a factor of not less than the adjusted U.S. Department of
Labor Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the city nearest to where the Premises
are located. If such insurance coverage has a deductible clause, Lessee shall be liable for such

deductible amount in the event of an Insured Loss caused by Lessee or Lessee's employees,
agents, customers, or invitees.
6.3 Lessee's Property.
(a) Property Damage. Lessee shall obtain and maintain insurance coverage
on all of Lessee's personal property, Trade Fixtures, and Lessee Owned Alterations, Utility
Installations, Statuary (except statuary located in the Nonexclusive Use Areas), Art, etc. owned
or on loan to Lessee. Such insurance shall be full replacement cost coverage with a deductible of
not to exceed $1,000 per occurrence. The proceeds from any such insurance shall be used by
Lessee for the replacement of personal property, Trade Fixtures and Lessee Owned Alterations
and Utility Installations. Lessee shall provide Lessor with written evidence that such insurance is
in force.
(b) No Representation of Adequate Coverage. Lessor makes no
representation that the limits or forms of coverage of insurance specified herein are adequate to
cover Lessee's property, business operations or obligations under this Lease.
6.4Insurance Policies. Insurance required of Lessee herein shall be by companies duly
licensed or admitted to transact business in the state where the Premises are located, and
maintaining during the policy term a "General Policyholders Rating" of at least B+, V, as set
forth in the most current issue of "Best's Insurance Guide", or such other rating as may be
required by a Lender. Lessee shall not do or permit to be done anything which invalidates the
required insurance policies. Lessee shall, prior to the Commencement Date, deliver to Lessor
certified copies of policies of such insurance or certificates evidencing the existence and amounts
of the required insurance. No such policy shall be cancelable or subject to modification except
after 30 days prior written notice to Lessor. Lessee shall, at least 30 days prior to the expiration
of such policies, furnish Lessor with evidence of renewals or "insurance binders" evidencing
renewal thereof, or Lessor may order such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Lessee, which
amount shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor upon demand. Such policies shall be for a term of at
least one (1) year, or the length of the remaining term of this Lease, whichever is less. If either
Party shall fail to procure and maintain the insurance required to be carried by it, the other Party
may, but shall not be required to, procure and maintain the same. Insurance requirements shall
be reviewed every three years to ensure that all coverages are commercially reasonable.
6.5 Waiver of Subrogation. Without affecting any other rights or remedies, and unless
otherwise required herein, Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and relieve the other, and
waive their entire right to recover damages against the other, for loss of or damage to its property
arising out of or incident to the perils required to be insured against herein. The effect of such
releases and waivers is not limited by the amount of insurance carried or required, or by any
deductibles applicable hereto. The Parties agree to have their respective property damage
insurance carriers waive any right to subrogation that such companies may have against Lessor
or Lessee, as the case may be.
6.6Indemnity. Except for Lessor's gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lessee shall
indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the Premises, Lessor and its agents, Lessor's
master or ground lessor, partners and Lenders, from and against any and all claims, loss of rents

and/or damages, liens, judgments, penalties, attorneys' and consultants' fees, expenses and/or
liabilities arising out of, involving, or in connection with, the use and/or occupancy of the
Premises by Lessee. If any action or proceeding is brought against Lessor by reason of any of the
foregoing matters, Lessee shall upon notice defend the same at Lessee's expense by counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in such defense. Lessor
need not have first paid any such claim in order to be defended or indemnified.
6.7 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, donors, or any other person at the Premises, whether such
damage or injury is caused by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from
the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, fire sprinklers, wires, appliances,
plumbing, HVAC or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause, whether the said injury or
damage results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the building
of which the Premises are a part, or from other sources or places, and whether caused by
Lessor's active negligence, passive negligence, or failure to perform its maintenance obligations.
Notwithstanding Lessor's negligence or breach of this Lease, Lessor shall under no
circumstances be liable for injury to Lessee's business or for any loss of income or profit
therefrom.
7. Damage or Destruction.
7.1 Definitions.
(a) "Premises Partial Damage" shall mean damage or destruction to the
improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations,
which can reasonably be repaired in six (6) months or less from the date of the damage or
destruction. Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing within thirty (30) days from the date of the
damage or destruction as to whether or not the damage is Partial or Total.
(b) "Premises Total Destruction" shall mean damage or destruction to the
Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures,
which cannot reasonably be repaired in 6 months or less from the date of the damage or
destruction. Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing within thirty (30) days from the date of the
damage or destruction as to whether or not the damage is Partial or Total.
(c) "Insured Loss" shall mean damage or destruction to improvements on the
Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures,
which was caused by an event required to be covered by the insurance described in Paragraph
6.2, irrespective of any deductible amounts or coverage limits involved.
(d) "Replacement Cost" shall mean the cost to repair or rebuild the
improvements owned by Lessor at the time of the occurrence to their condition existing
immediately prior thereto, including demolition, debris removal and upgrading required by the
operation of Applicable Requirements, and without deduction for depreciation.
(e) "Hazardous Substance Condition" shall mean the occurrence or
discovery of a condition involving the presence of, or a contamination by, a Hazardous
12
Palm Springs Art Museum. Palm Desert Leese 722010
9 i
Substance as defined in Paragraph 4.2(a), in, on, or under the Premises which requires repair,
remediation, or restoration.
7.2 Partial Damage - Insured Loss. if a Premises Partial Damage that is an Insured Loss
occurs, then Lessor shall, at Lessor's expense, repair such damage (but not Lessee's Trade
Fixtures or Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations) as soon as reasonably possible
and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect; provided, however, that Lessee shall, at
Lessor's election, make the repair of any damage or destruction the total cost to repair of which
is $10,000 or less, and, in such event, Lessor shall make any applicable insurance proceeds
available to Lessee on a reasonable basis for that purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
required insurance was not in force or the insurance proceeds are not sufficient to effect such
repair, Lessor shall promptly contribute the shortage in proceeds (except as to the deductible
which is Lessee's responsibility) as and when required to complete said repairs. In the event,
however, such shortage was due to the fact that, by reason of the unique nature of the
improvements, full replacement cost insurance coverage was not commercially reasonable and
available, Lessor shall have no obligation to pay for the shortage in insurance proceeds or to
fully restore the unique aspects of the Premises unless Lessee provides Lessor with the funds to
cover same, or adequate assurance thereof, within ten (10) days following receipt of written
notice of such shortage and request therefor. If Lessor receives said funds or adequate assurance
thereof within said ten (10) day period, the party responsible for making the repairs shall
complete them as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
If such funds or assurance are not received, Lessor may nevertheless elect by written notice to
Lessee within ten (10) days thereafter to: (i) make such restoration and repair as is commercially
reasonable with Lessor paying any shortage in proceeds, in which case this Lease shall remain in
full force and effect, or (ii) have this Lease terminate thirty (30) days thereafter. Lessee shall not
be entitled to reimbursement of any funds contributed by Lessee to repair any such damage or
destruction. Premises Partial Damage due to flood or earthquake shall be subject to Paragraph
7.3, notwithstanding that there may be some insurance coverage, but the net proceeds of any
such insurance shall be made available for the repairs if made by either Party.
7.3 Partial Damage - Uninsured Loss. If a Premises Partial Damage that is not an Insured
Loss occurs, unless caused by a negligent or willful act of Lessee (in which event Lessee shall
make the repairs at Lessee's expense), Lessor may either: (i) repair such damage as soon as
reasonably possible at Lessor's expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force
and effect, or (ii) terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days
after receipt by Lessor of knowledge of the occurrence of such damage. Such termination shall
be effective sixty (60) days following the date of such notice. In the event Lessor elects to
terminate this Lease, Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days after receipt of the
termination notice to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment to pay for the repair
of such damage without reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee shall provide Lessor with said
funds or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty (30) days after making such commitment. In
such event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make
such repairs as soon as reasonably possible after the required funds are available. If Lessee does
not make the required commitment, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in the
termination notice.
13
Palm Springs Art Museum. Palm Desert lease 7RR010
7.4 Total Destruction. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if a Premises Total
Destruction occurs, this Lease shall terminate sixty (60) days following such Destruction. If the
damage or destruction was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Lessee, Lessor
shall have the right to recover Lessor's damages from Lessee, except to the extent actually
covered by insurance.
7.5 Lessee's Remedies. If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises and does
not commence, in a substantial and meaningful way, such repair or restoration within ninety (90)
days after such obligation shall accrue, Lessee may, at any time prior to the commencement of
such repair or restoration, give written notice to Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee has
actual notice, of Lessee's election to terminate this Lease on a date not less than sixty (60) days
following the giving of such notice. If Lessee gives such notice and such repair or restoration is
not commenced within thirty (30) days thereafter, this Lease shall terminate as of the date
specified in said notice. If the repair or restoration is commenced within such thirty (30) days,
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. "Commence" shall mean either the
unconditional authorization of the preparation of the required plans, or the beginning of the
actual work on the Premises, whichever first occurs.
8. Taxes. Unless Lessee is exempt from such taxes, Lessee shall pay, prior to delinquency,
all possessory interest taxes assessed on Lessee's interest under this Lease, taxes assessed against
and levied upon Lessee Owned Alterations, Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings,
equipment and all personal property of Lessee. When possible, Lessee shall cause its Lessee
Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other
personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Lessor. If any of
Lessee's said property shall be assessed with Lessor's real property, Lessee shall pay Lessor the
taxes attributable to Lessee's property within ten (10) days after receipt of a written statement
setting forth the taxes applicable to Lessee's property. Lessee is currently a tax-exempt entity.
9. Utilities and Services. Lessee shall pay for all domestic water, gas, heat, light, power,
telephone, trash disposal and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises, together with
any taxes thereon. If any such services are not separately metered or billed to Lessee, Lessee
shall pay a reasonable proportion, to be determined by Lessor, of all charges jointly metered or
billed. Lessor shall not be liable in any respect whatsoever for the inadequacy, stoppage,
interruption or discontinuance of any utility or service due to riot, strike, labor dispute,
breakdown, accident, repair or other cause beyond Lessor's reasonable control or in cooperation
with governmental request or directions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall
compensate Lessee for any increased cost of electricity to the Building arising from the reduced
efficiency of the solar panels at the Building. Lessor and Lessee shall cooperate in agreeing on
an appropriate formula for the calculation of such reduced efficiency and corresponding
increased cost of electricity. In addition, Lessor shall bear the cost of maintaining and replacing
when necessary, both the HVAC and solar systems at the Premises. Defective solar panels will
be replaced by Lessor when necessary with comparable or better panels.

10. Assignment and Subletting.
10.1 Lessor's Consent Required.
(a) Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer,
mortgage or encumber (collectively, "assign or assignment") or sublet all or any part of
Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent, which
may be withheld in Lessor's sole and absolute discretion.
(b) An assignment or subletting without consent shall, at Lessor's option, be a
Default curable after notice per Paragraph 11.1(c), or a noncurable Breach without the necessity
of any notice and grace period. If Lessor elects to treat such unapproved assignment or subletting
as a noncurable Breach, Lessor may terminate this Lease.
11. Default; Breach; Remedies.
11.1 Default; Breach. A "Default" is defined as a failure by the Lessee to comply with or
perform any of the terms, covenants, conditions or Rules and Regulations under this Lease. A
"Breach" is defined as the occurrence of one or more of the following Defaults, and the failure of
Lessee to cure such Default within any applicable grace period:
(a) The failure of Lessee to remain open to the public and to maintain an art
collection as required by the Agreed Use.
(b) The vacating of the Premises without providing a commercially
reasonable level of security, or where the coverage of the property insurance described in
Paragraph 6.2 is jeopardized as a result thereof.
(c) The failure by Lessee to provide (i) reasonable written evidence of
compliance with Applicable Requirements, (ii) the service contracts, (iii) the rescission of an
unauthorized assignment or subletting, (iv) an Estoppel Certificate, (v) a requested
subordination, (vi) any material documentation or information which Lessor may reasonably
require of Lessee under the terms of this Lease, where any such failure continues for a period of
thirty (30) days following written notice to Lessee.
(d) A Default by Lessee as to the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of
this Lease, or other than those described in subparagraphs 11.1(a), or (b), above, where such
Default continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice; provided, however, that if
the nature of Lessee's Default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for
its cure, then it shall not be deemed to be a Breach if Lessee commences such cure within said
thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
(e) The occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the making of any
general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) becoming a "debtor" as
defined in 11 U.S.C. §101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed
against Lessee, the same is dismissed within 60 days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or
receiver to take possession of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of
Lessee's interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Lessee within thirty (30) days;
15
Palm Springs Art Muscum. Palm Desert Leasc 7/2/2010
0 •
or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee's assets
located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged
within thirty (30) days; provided, however, in the event that any provision of this subparagraph
(d) is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect, and not affect
the validity of the remaining provisions.
11.2 Remedies. If Lessee fails to perform any of its affirmative duties or obligations, within
thirty (30) days after written notice (or in case of an emergency, without notice), Lessor may, at
its option, perform such duty or obligation on Lessee's behalf, including but not limited to the
obtaining of reasonably required bonds, insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits or
approvals. Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to 115% of the costs and expenses
incurred by Lessor in such performance upon receipt of an invoice therefor. In the event of a
Breach, Lessor may, with or without further notice or demand, and without limiting Lessor in the
exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such Breach:
(a) 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 to
Lessor. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee: (i) 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 the Lessee 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 the Lessee
proves could be reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor
for all the detriment proximately caused by the Lessee's failure to perform its obligations under
this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom,
including but not limited to the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, expenses of
reletting, including necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys'
fees, and that portion of any leasing commission paid by Lessor in connection with this Lease
applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease. The worth at the time of award of the amount
referred to in provision (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be computed by
discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of the District within
which the Premises are located at the time of award plus one percent. Efforts by Lessor to
mitigate damages caused by Lessee's Breach of this Lease shall not waive Lessor's right to
recover damages. If termination of this Lease is obtained through the provisional remedy of
unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have the right to recover in such proceeding any unpaid Rent and
damages as are recoverable therein, or Lessor may reserve the right to recover all or any part
thereof in a separate suit. If a notice and grace period required under Paragraph 11.1 was not
previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit, or to perform or quit given to Lessee under the
unlawful detainer statute shall also constitute the notice required by Paragraph 11.1. In such case,
the applicable grace period required by Paragraph 11.1 and the unlawful detainer statute shall run
concurrently, and the failure of Lessee to cure the Default within the greater of the two such
grace periods shall constitute both an unlawful detainer and a Breach of this Lease entitling
Lessor to the remedies provided for in this Lease and/or by said statute.
(b) Continue the Lease and Lessee's right to possession and recover the Rent
as it becomes due, in which event Lessee may sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable
16
Palm Springs Art Museum, Palm Desert Lease 7/2/2010
0 0
limitations. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet, and/or the appointment of a receiver to protect
the Lessor's interests, shall not constitute a termination of the Lessee's right to possession.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available under the laws or
judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are located. The expiration or termination of
this Lease and/or the termination of Lessee's right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from
liability under any indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring or accruing during
the term hereof or by reason of Lessee's occupancy of the Premises.
11.3 Interest. Any monetary payment due Lessor hereunder, charges, not received by Lessor,
when due, shall bear interest from the date when due, as to scheduled payments, or the 31 st day
after it was due as to non-scheduled payments. The interest ("Interest") charged shall be
computed at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum but shall not exceed the maximum rate
allowed by law.
11.4 Breach by Lessor. Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of this Lease unless Lessor
fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation required to be performed by Lessor. For
purposes of this Paragraph, a reasonable time shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days after
receipt by Lessor, and any Lender whose name and address shall have been furnished Lessee in
writing for such purpose, of written notice specifying wherein such obligation of Lessor has not
been performed; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more
than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its performance, then Lessor shall not be in
breach if performance is commenced within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
pursued to completion.
12. Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the power of
eminent domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power (collectively
"Condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as to the part taken as of the date the condemning
authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs. If more than 10% of the Building, or
more than 25% of that portion of the Premises not occupied by any building, is taken by
Condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing within ten (10) days
after Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such
notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority shall have taken possession)
terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes such possession. If Lessee
does not terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full
force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the Base Rent shall be
reduced in proportion to the reduction in utility of the Premises caused by such Condemnation.
Condemnation awards and/or payments shall be the property of Lessor, whether such award shall
be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold, the value of the part taken, or
for severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any compensation for
Lessee's relocation expenses, loss of business goodwill and/or Trade Fixtures, without regard to
whether or not this Lease is terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph. All
Alterations and Utility Installations made to the Premises by Lessee, for purposes of
Condemnation only, shall be considered the property of the Lessee and Lessee shall be entitled to
any and all compensation which is payable therefor. In the event that this Lease is not terminated
by reason of the Condemnation, Lessor shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by such
Condemnation.

Palm Springs Art Museum, Palm Desert Lease IrV2010
13. Representations and Indemnities of Broker Relationships. Lessee and Lessor each
represent and warrant to the other that it has had no dealings with any real estate broker,
salesperson or finder in connection with this Lease. Lessee and Lessor do each hereby agree to
indemnify, protect, defend and hold the other harmless from and against liability for
compensation or charges which may be claimed by any such broker, salesperson, finder or other
similar party by reason of any dealings or actions of the indemnifying Party, including any costs,
expenses, attorneys' fees reasonably incurred with respect thereto.
14. Estoppel Certificates. If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Premises, or
any part thereof, Lessee shall deliver to any potential lender or purchaser designated by Lessor
such estoppel statement and financial statements as may be reasonably required by such lender or
purchaser.
15. Definition of Lessor. The term "Lessor" as used herein shall mean the owner or owners
at the time in question of the fee title to the Premises, or, if this is a sublease, of the Lessee's
interest in the prior lease. Subject to the foregoing, the obligations and/or covenants in this
Lease to be performed by the Lessor shall be binding only upon the Lessor as hereinabove
defined.
16. Severability. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease, as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the validity of any other provision hereof.
17. Days. Unless otherwise specifically indicated to the contrary, the word "days" as used in
this Lease shall mean and refer to calendar days.
18. Limitation on Liability. The obligations of Lessor and Lessee under this Lease shall not
constitute personal obligations of Lessor or Lessee or its board members, directors, officers or
employees. Lessee shall look to the Premises, and to no other assets of Lessor, for the
satisfaction of any liability of Lessor with respect to this Lease, and shall not seek recourse
against Lessor's board members, directors, officers or employees, or any of their personal assets

render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any subsequent or

provisions of this Lease requiring such consent. The acceptance of Rent by Lessor shall not be a
waiver of any Default or Breach by Lessee. Any payment by Lessee may be accepted by Lessor
on account of moneys or damages due Lessor, notwithstanding any qualifying statements or
conditions made by Lessee in connection therewith, which such statements and/or conditions
shall be of no force or effect whatsoever unless specifically agreed to in writing by Lessor at or
before the time of deposit of such payment.
22. No Right To Holdover. Lessee has no right to retain possession of the Premises or any
part thereof beyond the expiration or termination of this Lease. Nothing contained herein shall be

shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity.
24. Covenants and Conditions; Construction of Agreement. All provisions of this Lease

Lease, all headings and titles are for the convenience of the Parties only and shall not be
considered a part of this Lease. Whenever required by the context, the singular shall include the
plural and vice versa. This Lease shall not be construed as if prepared by one of the Parties, but
rather according to its fair meaning as a whole, as if both Parties had prepared it.

personal representatives, successors and assigns and be governed by the laws of the State of

27. Attorneys' Fees. If any Party brings an action or proceeding involving the Premises
whether founded in tort, contract or equity, or to declare rights hereunder, the Prevailing Party
(as hereafter defined) in any such proceeding, action, or appeal thereon, shall be entitled to
reasonable attorneys' fees. Such fees may be awarded in the same suit or recovered in a separate
suit, whether or not such action or proceeding is pursued to decision or judgment. The term,
"Prevailing Party" shall include, without limitation, a Party who substantially obtains or defeats
the relief sought, as the case may be, whether by compromise, settlement, judgment, or the
abandonment by the other Party of its claim or defense. The attorneys' fees award shall not be
computed in accordance with any court fee schedule, but shall be such as to fully reimburse all
attorneys' fees reasonably incurred. In addition, Lessor shall be entitled to attorneys' fees, costs
and expenses incurred in the preparation and service of notices of Default and consultations in
connection therewith, whether or not a legal action is subsequently commenced in connection
with such Default or resulting Breach ($200 is a reasonable minimum per occurrence for such
services and consultation).
28. Lessor's Access; Showing Premises; Repairs. Lessor and Lessor's agents shall have
the right to enter the Premises at any time, in the case of an emergency, and otherwise at
reasonable times after reasonable five days prior notice for the purpose of showing the same to
prospective purchasers, lenders, or tenants, and making such alterations, repairs, improvements
or additions to the Premises as Lessor may deem necessary or desirable and the erecting, using
and maintaining of utilities, services, pipes and conduits through the Premises and/or other
premises as long as there is no material adverse effect to Lessee's use of the Premises. All such
activities shall be without abatement of rent or liability to Lessee.
29. Signs. All exterior and off -premises signage shall require prior approval by Lessor.
30. Termination; Merger. Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing by Lessor, the
voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, the mutual termination or cancellation
hereof, or a termination hereof by Lessor for Breach by Lessee, shall automatically terminate any
sublease or lesser estate in the Premises; provided, however, that Lessor may elect to continue
any one or all existing subtenancies. Lessor's failure within ten (10) days following any such
event to elect to the contrary by written notice to the holder of any such lesser interest, shall
constitute Lessor's election to have such event constitute the termination of such interest.
31. Consents. Except as otherwise provided herein, wherever in this Lease the consent of a
Party is required to an act by or for the other Party, such consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Lessor's actual reasonable costs and expenses (including but not limited to
architects', attorneys', engineers' and other consultants' fees) incurred in the consideration of, or
response to, a request by Lessee for any Lessor consent to an assignment, a subletting or the
presence or use of a Hazardous Substance, shall be paid by Lessee upon receipt of an invoice and
supporting documentation therefor. Lessor's consent to any act, assignment or subletting shall
not constitute an acknowledgment that no Default or Breach by Lessee of this Lease exists, nor
shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing Default or Breach, except as may be
otherwise specifically stated in writing by Lessor at the time of such consent. The failure to
specify herein any particular condition to Lessor's consent shall not preclude the imposition by
Lessor at the time of consent of such further or other conditions as are then reasonable with
reference to the particular matter for which consent is being given. In the event that either Party
Palm Springs Art Museum, Palm Desert lean 7/2/2010
disagrees with any determination made by the other hereunder and reasonably requests the
reasons for such determination, the determining party shall furnish its reasons in writing and in
reasonable detail within ten (10) business days following such request.

and provisions on Lessee's part to be observed and performed under this Lease, Lessee shall
have quiet possession and quiet enjoyment of the Premises during the term hereof.

hereunder does not include the cost of guard service or other security measures, and that Lessor
shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide same. Lessee assumes all responsibility for the
protection of the Premises, Lessee, its agents and invitees and their property from the acts of
third parties.
34. Reservations. Lessor reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to grant, without the
consent or joinder of Lessee, such easements, rights and dedications that Lessor deems
necessary, and to cause the recordation of parcel maps and restrictions, so long as such
easements, rights, dedications, maps and restrictions do not conflict with any of the provisions of
this lease or unreasonably interfere with Lessee's use of the Premises, Sculpture Garden, Multi -
Sensory Gardens, Plaza, exclusive parking spaces and Carriage Lane by Lessee. Lessee agrees to
sign any documents reasonably requested by Lessor to effectuate any such easement rights,
dedication, map or restrictions.
35. Performance Under Protest. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to any amount or
sum of money to be paid by one Party to the other under the provisions hereof, the Party against
whom the obligation to pay the money is asserted shall have the right to make payment "under
protest" and such payment shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment and there shall survive
the right on the part of said Party to institute suit for recovery of such sum. If it shall be adjudged
that there was no legal obligation on the part of said Party to pay such sum or any part thereof,
said Party shall be entitled to recover such sum or so much thereof as it was not legally required
to pay.
36. Authority; Multiple Parties; Execution.
(a) Each individual executing this Lease on behalf of Lessee represents and
warrants that he or she is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on its behalf, and
Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor satisfactory evidence of such authority.

shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

interest at the time of the modification. As long as they do not materially change Lessee's
obligations hereunder, Lessee agrees to make such reasonable non -monetary modifications to
this Lease as may be reasonably required by a Lender in connection with the obtaining of normal
financing or refinancing of the Premises.

38. Americans with Disabilities Act. Since compliance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) is dependent upon Lessee's specific use of the Premises, Lessor makes
no warranty or representation as to whether or not the Premises comply with ADA or any similar
legislation. In the event that Lessee's use of the Premises requires modifications or additions to
the Premises in order to be in ADA compliance, Lessee agrees to make any such necessary
modifications and/or additions at Lessee's expense.

her heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, and all persons claiming under or through him

or vendees in the premises herein leased.
