LEASE AGREEMENT
1. PARTIES: This lease ("Lease") is made between Vanir Tower Building, Inc.
("LANDLORD"), and the City of San Bernardino ("CITY"), who agree on the terms
and conditions contained in this Lease. LANDLORD hereby represents and
warrants to CITY that LANDLORD is the legal owner with sole title to the
Property (as defined below), including the Premises (as defined below), and has the
right to enter into this Lease without consent or approval from any other parties. In
the event of a breach of the foregoing representation and warranty, CITY shall have
the right to terminate this Lease with immediate effect and LANDLORD shall
indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably approved by CITY) and hold harmless
CITY and its officials, employees, contractors, agents, and volunteers from any and
all claims, actions, losses, damages and/or liability arising out of said breach.
2. PREMISES LEASED:
LANDLORD leases to CITY and CITY leases from LANDLORD certain premises of
approximately 23,716 square feet of office space ("Premises"), comprising a portion
of the building (`Building") located on the real property commonly known as 290
North "D" Street, San Bernardino, California, APN 0134-311-42-0000 ("Property").
The Premises is more particularly depicted in Exhibit "A" PREMISES, attached
hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The parties hereby agree that the
Premises shall not be re-measured at any time during the term of the Lease,
including any extensions thereof.
3. TERM:
A. Initial Term. The Lease's initial term ("Initial Term") shall commence
on December 1, 2016 ("Commencement Date") and end on November 30, 2018
("Ending Date"), provided that all Improvements to be constructed by LANDLORD
pursuant to Paragraph 41, LANDLORD IMPROVEMENTS, are Substantially
Completed (hereinafter defined) and are accepted by CITY. For the purposes of this
Lease, "Substantially Completed" shall mean that the Premises can be used for
their intended purposes and have been certified for occupancy by the entity that
issued the building permits, notwithstanding that minor corrections and/or
additions remain to be completed, it being understood that LANDLORD shall
promptly complete said corrections and/or additions. In the event the term
commences prior to the Commencement Date as the result of CITY's election under
subparagraph 3C, Early Possession, the Ending Date shall not be changed. If
LANDLORD is unable to Substantially Complete the Improvements or deliver
possession of the Premises by the Commencement Date, CITY shall not be liable for
any rent and this Lease shall not commence until LANDLORD Substantially
Completes the Improvements and delivers possession of the Premises to CITY. Any
such delay in possession shall not affect the Ending Date.
I
2016-240
B. Early Access. LANDLORD shall allow the CITY early access ("Early
Access") to the Premises at any time prior to the Commencement Date for the
purpose of the CITY or its representatives installing communications equipment,
modular furniture, alarms and such other items that the CITY may reasonably
desire and to inspect the status of the construction of the Improvements for the
Premises. CITY shall exercise its Early Access rights at a time and in a manner
that will not unreasonably interfere with LANDLORD's construction of the
Improvements. If CITY totally or partially occupies the Premises under this Early
Access provision prior to the Commencement Date, the obligation to pay rent shall
be abated for the period of the Early Access. All other terms of this Lease shall,
however, be in effect during such period. Any such Early Access shall not affect the
Commencement Date or the Ending Date.
C. Early Possession. The CITY may elect to totally or partially take
possession of the Premises at any time prior to the scheduled Commencement Date
("Early Possession"). CITY shall exercise its Early Possession rights at a time and
in a manner that will not unreasonably interfere with LANDLORD's construction of
the Improvements. If CITY totally or partially takes possession of the Premises
under this Early Possession provision prior to the Commencement Date, the
obligation to pay rent for only that portion of the Premises possessed shall
commence for the period of such Early Possession. Such Early Possession shall not
be considered as the CITY's acceptance of any portion of the Improvements as
Substantially Completed. The CITY may vacate all or any portion it has possessed
as Early Possession without in any manner affecting the Commencement Date, the
Ending Date or any other portion of the Lease. All other terms of this Lease shall,
however, be in effect during such period. Any such Early Possession shall not affect
the Commencement Date or the Ending Date.
D. Delay in Possession. LANDLORD agrees to use all commercially
reasonable efforts to deliver possession of the Premises with all of the
Improvements Substantially Completed to CITY by the Commencement Date. If as
a result of causes beyond LANDLORD's reasonable control, LANDLORD is unable
to deliver possession as agreed, this Lease shall not be voidable, nor shall such
failure affect the validity of this Lease. If possession is not delivered within ninety
(90) days after the Commencement Date, CITY can elect to terminate this Lease by
giving written notice to LANDLORD at any time before LANDLORD delivers
possession of the Premises to CITY. If CITY elects to terminate this Lease
pursuant to this provision, CITY shall be discharged of all obligations under this
Lease.
4. RENT:
A. Subject to the completion of the Improvements, receipt of a certificate
of occupancy and subject to acceptance of the improved Premises by CITY, CITY
shall pay to LANDLORD monthly rental payments of $42,688.80 per month for
Year 1 and $43,969.46 for Year 2 for the Premises in arrears not later than the last
2
2016-240
day of each month, commencing when the term commences, continuing during the
term, based on approximately 23,716 square feet of leased space.
B. Rent for any partial month shall be prorated based on the actual
number of days of the month. LANDLORD shall accept all rent and other
payments from CITY under this Lease via electronic funds transfer (EFT) directly
deposited into the LANDLORD's designated checking or other bank account.
LANDLORD shall promptly comply with directions and accurately complete forms
provided by CITY required to process EFT payments.
C. If the CITY has accepted the Premises as Substantially Completed
with minor corrections and/or additions remaining to be completed, only eighty
percent (80%) of the monthly rental will be paid to LANDLORD, and the remaining
twenty percent (20%) of the monthly rental will accrue from the Commencement
Date of this Lease but will not be paid to LANDLORD until all such minor
corrections and/or additions have been completed and accepted by CITY. If the
CITY withholds monthly rental payments under this subparagraph, the CITY will
not be in default and no interest or service charges will be added to the amounts
due LANDLORD upon completion of the minor corrections and/or additions. The
minor corrections and/or additions remaining to be completed are subject to
subparagraph 13B, MAINTENANCE.
5. EXPANSION OF RENTAL SPACE:
A. LANDLORD shall not lease or extend an existing lease covering all or
any part of the area of the building in which the Premises are located that is

without first notifying CITY that LANDLORD intends to lease part or all of the
Expansion Space. At any time during the term of this Lease that all or any part of
the Expansion Space is not leased to a third person, CITY shall have the option to
add to the Premises any part or all of the Expansion Space that is not leased to a
third party. In the event LANDLORD makes or receives a bona fide offer to
actually lease or extend an existing lease on some or all of the Expansion Space,
LANDLORD shall provide CITY with written notice of LANDLORD's intention to
lease (or extend an existing lease) some or all of the Expansion Space to a third
party. LANDLORD's notice to CITY shall include all material terms of the third-
party offer. CITY shall have thirty (30) days from CITY's receipt of LANDLORD's
notice to determine whether CITY wishes to add any part or all of the Expansion
Space identified in the third-party offer to the Premises. LANDLORD shall have
the right to lease to a third party (or extend an existing lease with such third
party), on the terms set forth in LANDLORD's notice to CITY, any part of the
Expansion Space mentioned in the third-party offer as to which CITY has not
notified LANDLORD of CITY's agreement to lease within thirty (30) days after
CITY's receipt of LANDLORD's notice. If CITY does not exercise its option to add
the Expansion Space mentioned in the third party offer to the Premises, and
3
2016-240
LANDLORD is unable to consummate the transaction described in the third-party
offer with such third party, CITY's rights under this paragraph shall be reinstated
automatically. Further, CITY's rights under this paragraph shall accrue anytime
any of the Expansion Space is not leased to a third party or becomes available.
B. If CITY exercises its option to lease the Expansion Space or part of it,
the Expansion Space or part of it shall be included within the Premises and leased
to CITY pursuant to all provisions of this Lease, including, without The rent
payable under this Lease shall be increased proportionately by the sum of (i) the
basic rental rate per square foot of floor area for each square foot of floor area in the
Expansion Space leased by CITY, as set forth in Subparagraph 6A(1), OPTION TO
EXTEND TERM, plus (ii) the cost per square foot of floor area of all improvements
made to the Expansion Space leased by CITY amortized over the balance of the
unexpired portion of the Initial Term. All Improvements shall be made pursuant to
plans and specifications, prepared by LANDLORD and approved by CITY.
LANDLORD shall deliver said plans and specifications to CITY within thirty (30)
days of CITY's election to lease the Expansion Space, or part thereof. The
construction of all Improvements shall be governed by Paragraph 41,
LANDLORD'S IMPROVEMENTS. CITY's obligation to pay rent on the Expansion
Space shall be governed by Paragraph 4, RENT. The parties shall immediately
execute an amendment to this Lease stating the addition of the Expansion Space or
part thereof to the Premises and the additional rent for the Expansion Space.
C. If prior to executing this Lease, LANDLORD granted a third party an
option to lease or extend an existing lease for all or part of the expansion space, the
third party's option will take precedence over the CITY's right of first refusal and
option set forth in subparagraph A and B, above. Additionally, if during the term of
this Lease, LANDLORD follows the provisions of subparagraphs A and B, above,
and thereafter grants a third party an option to lease or extend an existing lease for
all or part of the expansion space, the third party's option will take precedence over
the CITY's right of first refusal and option set forth in subparagraphs A and B,
above.
6. OPTION TO EXTEND TERM: LANDLORD gives CITY the option to extend
the term of the Lease on the same provisions and conditions, except for the monthly
rent, for two (2) six-month option periods ("extended term") following expiration of

termination of this Lease, return the Premises in a good condition and repair as the

and conditions, including rent, as existed and prevailed at the time of the expiration
of the term of this Lease. Notwithstanding Paragraph 40 CITY'S RIGHT TO
TERMINATE LEASE, either party shall have the right to terminate the Lease with
not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice to the other party during any
holdover tenancy.

no knowledge of any claim having been made by any governmental agency that a

with regard to the Premises as of the Commencement Date. Should the continued
occupancy of the Premises be in any way prejudiced or prevented due to changes in
the ADA or the Health, Safety, Fire and Building Codes, statutes, regulations or

and repair the Premises and regardless of whether any specific notice of need for
maintenance or repair is provided to LANDLORD by the CITY, the CITY may
request specific maintenance or repairs. Any such request may be made orally, by
telephone or otherwise. If, (a) CITY gives notice to LANDLORD of a condition
6
2016-240
requiring maintenance or repairs, and LANDLORD does not commence the
performance of its maintenance or repair obligations within ten (10) days of
receiving such notice, or does not diligently prosecute its obligations to completion
thereafter, or (b) in the case of an emergency, whether or not CITY has given notice
to LANDLORD, LANDLORD does not immediately perform its obligations, CITY
can perform the obligations and have the right to be reimbursed for the sum CITY
actually and reasonably expends (including charges for CITY employees and
equipment) in the performance of LANDLORD's obligations. The sum expended by
CITY shall be due from LANDLORD to CITY within five (5) days of notice of such
sum, and if paid at a later date shall bear interest at the maximum rate the CITY is
permitted by law to charge from the date the sum was paid by CITY until CITY is
reimbursed by LANDLORD. If LANDLORD fails to reimburse CITY as required by
this paragraph, CITY shall have the right to withhold from future rent due the sum
CITY has paid until CITY is reimbursed in full for the sum and interest on it. The
remedies set forth in this paragraph are in addition to and do not in any manner
limit other remedies set forth in particular paragraphs of this Lease. CITY shall
forward to LANDLORD receipts and/or documentation supporting the amount
withheld.
C. CITY, at its option and sole discretion, reserves the right to require the
LANDLORD to hire a qualified property management company to manage the
Premises, and that property management services, not limited to maintenance and
repair, be performed pursuant to a property management agreement. The Premises
must be inspected by the Property Manager at least every other week, beginning
the second week after the commencement date, and daily by the janitorial staff, to
ensure the Premises are maintained properly. Inspections must be coordinated
with the CITY representative. The CITY has the right to review the selection of the
property manager and to review the agreement with the manager.

improvements or alterations to the Premises without LANDLORD's consent. Any
such alterations shall remain on and be surrendered with the Premises on
expiration or termination of the Lease.

install shelving and fixtures, and make interior, non-structural improvements or
alterations in the Premises. Such shelving, fixtures, improvements, and alterations
shall remain the property of the CITY and may be removed by the CITY during the
term(s) of this Lease or within a reasonable time thereafter, provided that the CITY
restores the Premises to the condition as it existed at the commencement of this
Lease, reasonable wear and tear excluded, or the CITY in its sole discretion may
elect to surrender all or any part of such shelving, fixture, improvements and
alterations to the LANDLORD, in which case CITY shall have no duty to restore
the Premises. Any such election to surrender must be in writing, but need not be
accepted by LANDLORD to be effective.
7
2016-240

charges and related taxes for electric, gas, water, sewer, trash, fire alarm service
and all other utilities. CITY shall furnish and pay for security, vending machines,

counsel reasonably approved by CITY) and hold harmless the CITY and its
authorized officers, employees, agents and volunteers from any and all claims,
actions, losses, damages, and/or liability arising out of this contract from any cause
whatsoever, including the acts, errors or omissions of any person and for any costs
or expenses incurred by the CITY on account of any claim except where such
indemnification is prohibited by law. This indemnification provision shall apply
regardless of the existence or degree of fault of indemnities. The LANDLORD's
indemnification obligation applies to the CITY's "active" as well as "passive"
negligence but does not apply to the CITY's "sole negligence" or "willful misconduct"

arising out of the use under this lease hereunder. The additional insured
endorsements shall not limit the scope of coverage for the CITY to vicarious liability
but shall allow coverage for the CITY to the full extent provided by the policy. Such
additional insured coverage shall be at least as broad as Additional Insured (Form
B) endorsement form ISO, CG 2010.11 85.
E. Waiver of Subrogation Rights — The LANDLORD shall require the
carriers of required coverages to waive all rights of subrogation against the CITY,
their officers, employees, agents, volunteers, contractors and subcontractors. All
general or auto liability insurance coverage provided shall not prohibit the
LANDLORD and LANDLORD's employees or agents from waiving the right of
subrogation prior to a loss or claim. The LANDLORD hereby waives all rights of
subrogation against the CITY.
F. Policies Primary and Non-Contributory — All policies required herein
are to be primary and non-contributory with any insurance or self-insurance
programs carried or administered by the CITY.
G. Severability of Interests — The LANDLORD agrees to ensure that

suits between the LANDLORD and the CITY or between the CITY and any other
insured or additional insured under the policy.

20164240
H. Proof of Coverage — The LANDLORD shall furnish Certificates of
Insurance to the CITY evidencing the insurance coverage, including endorsements,
as required, prior to the commencement of performance of services hereunder,
which certificates shall provide that such insurance shall not be terminated or
expire without thirty (30) days written notice to CITY, and LANDLORD shall
maintain such insurance from the time LANDLORD commences use under the
lease hereunder until the end of the period of the lease. Within fifteen (15) days of
the commencement of this contract, the LANDLORD shall furnish a copy of the
Declaration page for all applicable policies and will provide complete certified copies
of the policies and endorsements immediately upon request.
I. Acceptability of Insurance Carrier — Unless otherwise approved by the
CITY's Risk Management Division, insurance shall be written by insurers
authorized to do business in the State of California and with a minimum "Best"
Insurance Guide rating of"A- VII".
J. Deductibles and Self-Insured Retention — Any and all deductibles or
self-insured retentions in excess of $10,000 shall be declared to and approved by
CITY's Risk Management Division.
K. Insurance Review — Insurance requirements are subject to periodic
review by the CITY. The CITY's Human Resources Director or designee is
authorized, but not required, to reduce, waive or suspend any insurance
requirements whenever the CITY's Risk Management Division determines that any
of the required insurance is not available, is unreasonably priced, or is not needed
to protect the interests of the CITY. In addition, the CITY's Director of Human
Resources or designee is authorized, but not required, to change the above
insurance requirements to require additional types of insurance coverage or higher
coverage limits, provided that any such change is reasonable in light of past claims
against the CITY, inflation, or any other item reasonably related to the CITY's risk.
Any change requiring additional types of insurance coverage or higher coverage
limits must be made by amendment to this lease. LANDLORD agrees to execute
any such amendment within thirty (30) days of receipt.
Any failure, actual or alleged, on the part of CITY to monitor or enforce compliance
with any of the insurance and indemnification requirements will not be deemed as a
waiver of any rights on the part of the CITY.
L. Failure to Procure Insurance. All insurance required must be
maintained in force at all times by LANDLORD. Failure to maintain said insurance,
due to expiration, cancellation, etc., shall be cause for the CITY to give notice to
immediately suspend all LANDLORD's business activities on the Premises. Failure
to reinstate said insurance within the (10) days of notice to do so shall be cause for
termination and for forfeiture of this agreement, and/or CITY, at its discretion, may
11
2016-240
procure or renew such insurance and pay any and all premiums in connection
therewith, and all monies so paid by CITY shall be repaid by LANDLORD to CITY
upon demand but only for the pro rata period of non-compliance.
M. CITY shall have no liability for any premiums charged for such
coverage(s). The inclusion of CITY as additional named insured is not intended to
and shall not make a partner or joint venturer with LANDLORD in LANDLORD's
operations.
N. The LANDLORD agrees to require all parties or subcontractors, or
others it hires or contracts with related to the use of this lease to provide insurance
covering such use with the basic requirements and naming the CITY as additional
insured. LICENSEE agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes
all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided as required herein.
19. DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES:
A. During the term of this Lease, if any casualty renders a portion of the
Premises unusable for the purpose intended, then LANDLORD shall, at
LANDLORD's expense, restore the Premises and repair any damages caused by
such casualty as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect. If LANDLORD does not commence the restoration of the Premises
in a substantial and meaningful way within thirty (30) days following the
LANDLORD's receipt of written notice of the casualty, or should LANDLORD fail to
diligently pursue completion of the restoration of the Premises, or if the time
required to restore the Premises is estimated to exceed ninety (90) days, CITY may,
at its option, terminate this Lease immediately upon written notice to the
LANDLORD. If CITY elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to this provision,
CITY shall be discharged of all future obligations under this Lease. Alternatively,
if LANDLORD fails to commence the restoration of the Premises or fails to
diligently pursue the completion of the restoration as aforesaid, CITY may, at its
option and in its sole discretion, after notice to LANDLORD, perform LANDLORD's
obligations and restore the Premises. If CITY elects to restore the Premises, CITY
shall have the right to be reimbursed for all sums it actually and reasonably
expends (including charges for CITY employees and equipment) in the performance
of LANDLORD's obligations. The sum paid by CITY shall be due from LANDLORD
to CITY within five (5) days of notice of such sum, and if paid at a later date shall
bear interest at the maximum rate the CITY is permitted by law to charge from the
date the sum was paid by CITY until CITY is reimbursed by LANDLORD. If
LANDLORD fails to reimburse CITY as required by this paragraph, CITY shall
have the right to withhold from future rent due the sum CITY has paid until CITY
is reimbursed in full for the sum and interest on it. The remedies set forth in this
paragraph are in addition to and do not in any manner limit other remedies set
forth in particular paragraphs of this Lease. CITY shall forward to LANDLORD
receipts and/or documentation supporting the amount withheld. For the purposes
of this paragraph, the phrase "commence . . . in a substantial and meaningful way"
12
2016-240
shall mean either the unconditional authorization of the preparation of the required
plans, the issuance of any required Building Permits or the beginning of the actual
work on the Premises.
B. In the event there is a destruction of a portion of the Premises as set
out in subparagraph A, above, there shall be an abatement or reduction of the rent
between the date of destruction and the date of completion of restoration or the date
of termination of this Lease, whichever comes first. The abatement or reduction of
the rent shall be in proportion to the degree to which CITY's use of the Premises is
impaired.
C. In the event there is a destruction of a portion of the Premises as set
out in subparagraph A, above, and the Lease is not terminated because of such
destruction, LANDLORD agrees to use any and all insurance proceeds received for
said destruction in the restoration of the Premises.
D. In the event LANDLORD is required to restore the Premises as
provided in this paragraph, LANDLORD shall restore, at LANDLORD' expense,
any structural or exterior improvements or alterations to the Premises made by
CITY pursuant to Paragraph 14, ALTERATIONS, of this Lease, but shall not be
responsible for restoring any shelving, fixtures, or interior nonstructural
improvements or alteration made by the CITY pursuant to Paragraph 15,
FIXTURES, of this Lease.
E. It is the purpose and intent of this paragraph to determine who shall
bear the initial responsibility for restoration of the Premises in the event of any
such destruction and not to determine the party ultimately responsible for the costs
of such restoration.
20. LANDLORD'S DEFAULT: Except where another time limit is specifically
provided, LANDLORD shall be in default of this Lease if LANDLORD fails or
refuses to perform any material provisions of this Lease and such failure or refusal
to perform is not cured within thirty (30) days following LANDLORD' receipt of
written notice of default from CITY. If the default cannot reasonably be cured
within thirty (30) days, LANDLORD shall not be in default of this Lease if
LANDLORD commences to cure the default within the thirty (30) day period and
diligently and in good faith continues to cure the default.
21. CITY'S REMEDIES ON LANDLORD'S DEFAULT: CITY, at any time after
LANDLORD is in default, can terminate this Lease immediately upon written
notice to LANDLORD or can cure the default at LANDLORDS cost. If CITY at any
time, by reason of LANDLORD' default, pays any sum or does any act that
requires the payment of any sum (including charges for CITY' employees and
equipment), the sum paid by CITY shall be due from LANDLORD to CITY within
five (5) days of notice of such sum, and if paid at a later date shall bear interest at
the maximum rate the CITY is permitted by law to charge from the date the sum
13
2016-240
was paid by CITY until CITY is reimbursed by LANDLORD. If LANDLORD fails
to reimburse CITY as required by this paragraph, CITY shall have the right to
withhold from future rent due the sum CITY has paid until CITY is reimbursed in
full for the sum and interest on it. The remedies set forth in this paragraph are in
addition to and do not in any manner limit other remedies set forth in particular
paragraphs of this Lease.
22. CITY'S DEFAULT: The occurrence of any one or more of the following
events shall constitute a default and breach of this Lease by CITY:
A. The vacating for more than thirty (30) consecutive days or
abandonment of the Premises by CITY.
B. The failure by CITY to perform any material provisions of this Lease to
be performed by CITY, including the payment of rent, where such failure shall
continue for a period of thirty (30) days after notice by LANDLORD to CITY;
provided, however, that if the nature of CITYSs default is such that more than thirty
(30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then CITY shall not be deemed to be
in default if CITY commences such cure within said thirty (30) day period and
thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion. The purpose of this notice
requirement is to extend the notice requirements of the unlawful detainer statutes
of California.
23. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES ON CITY'S DEFAULT: Whenever any Event of
Default referred to in Section 22 hereof shall have happened and be continuing, it
shall be lawful for the LANDLORD to exercise any and all remedies available
pursuant to law or granted pursuant to this Lease; provided, however, that
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, there shall be no right under any
circumstances to accelerate the Rent or otherwise declare any Rent not then in
Default to be immediately due and payable. Each and every covenant hereof to be
kept and performed by the CITY is expressly made a condition and upon the breach
thereof the LANDLORD may, at its option, terminate this Lease. In the event of
such Event of Default, the CITY shall continue to remain liable for the payment of
the Rent and/or damages for breach of this Lease and the performance of all
conditions herein contained and, in any event such rent and/or damages shall be
payable to the LANDLORD only at the same time and in the same manner as
provided for the payment of Rent.
24. LANDLORD'S ACCESS TO PREMISES: LANDLORD and its authorized
representatives shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times
for any of the following purposes=

paragraph in a manner that will cause the least possible inconvenience, annoyance,
or disturbance to CITY.

17
2016-240
necessary to verify the cost of all Improvements Tenant Improvement costs are

B. LANDLORD understands and agrees that from the time that this
agreement is executed through the completion of the Improvements pursuant to
Exhibit "A-1", Premises Specifications, and acceptance of the improved Premises by
CITY, LANDLORD shall not assign or transfer a controlling interest in the
Premises to a third party, without CITY's prior review and approval.
(1) LANDLORD understands and agrees to provide to CITY all
documents and relevant information concerning any proposed transfer. CITY will
have ten (10) CITY working days after receiving all such documents and
information to complete its review. Upon CITY approval of an assignment or
transfer, the parties shall immediately execute an amendment to this Lease stating

C. LANDLORD understands and agrees not to make any modifications to
the improvement plans and specifications as set forth in Exhibit "A-11, Premises
Specifications, without first obtaining approval in the form of an amendment to this
Lease. Any changes to these plans and specifications, without first acquiring said

D. In the event LANDLORD contracts for the construction of any portion
of the Improvements set forth in Exhibit "A-1", Premises Specifications,
LANDLORD shall comply with the California Public Contract Code Sections 22000
through 22045 regarding bidding procedures and Labor Code Sections 1720.2 and

shall indemnify and hold harmless CITY and its officers, employees, and agents
from any claims, actions, losses, damages and/or liability arising out of the

obligations shall survive the CITY's tenancy, and shall not be limited by the
existence or availability of insurance.
E. LANDLORD, at its sole expense, must provide all site plans (including
elevations of the building and details of the exterior finish), space design plans,
construction plans, and a complete set of the bid drawings and specifications. The
bid drawings shall be on reproducible transparent vellum with the
architect's/engineer's professional stamp and signature, and also provided to CITY
on a compact disc-recordable (CD-R). The file format for the CD-R copy shall be an
Adobe Acrobat file (.pdf file extension) AND AutoCAD software (.dwg file
extension). The specifications shall be submitted as a reproducible hardcopy and
copied on a CD-R with formats compatible with Microsoft Word. LANDLORD
agrees and understands that it will construct on the Premises during the period
immediately following execution of this Lease, those Improvements shown on the
space design and site plans prepared by LANDLORD and approved by CITY. The
18
2016-240
Improvements shall be constructed in accordance with Paragraph 11, HEALTH,
SAFETY AND FIRE CODE REQUIREMENTS, and Exhibit "A-1", Premises
Specifications.
F. LANDLORD and CITY agree that the Improvements are projected to
be constructed, completed and certified for occupancy by the CITY, acting in its
regulatory capacity, by , 201_, and that the CITY must be able to
occupy the improved Premises no later than , 201_. In order to meet the
projected occupancy date, the parties have agreed upon the following Project
Construction Schedule setting forth the essential elements of construction, the
projected completion dates, and the critical completion dates for each element.
Those dates are as follows:
(1) Preparation and Submittal of Building and Site Plans to the
City of San Bernardino: Projected Completion Date: , 201_. Critical
Completion Date: , 201_.
(2) Approval and Permit Issuance of Building and Site Plans by
City Agencies: Projected Completion Date: 201_. Critical
Completion Date: , 201_.
(3) Tenant Improvement Plan Preparation and Submittal to City:
Projected Completion Date: 201_. Critical Completion Date:
, 201_.
(4) Permit Issuance for Tenant Improvements: Projected
Completion Date: 201_. Critical Completion Date: ,
201 .
(5) Site Work and Building Construction: Projected Completion
Date: , 201_ Critical Completion Date: , 201_.
(6) Construction of Tenant Improvements and Certified for
Occupancy: Projected Completion Date: , 201_. Critical Completion
Date , 201_.
G. LANDLORD agrees that its failure to meet any of the above Critical
Completion Date(s) will mean that the CITY will not be able to occupy the improved
Premises by . 201_, and that the CITY may therefore elect to
terminate this Lease in the event the LANDLORD fails to meet any_ of said dates.
Any such election to terminate by the CITY must be in writing and given to
LANDLORD within ninety (90) CITY working days of the missed Critical
Completion Date, and before the LANDLORD completes the element and notifies
the CITY of such completion.
19
2016-240
H. LANDLORD agrees to provide the CITY a written progress report
every thirty (30) days. The report shall contain up-date information of construction
progress and notification of any permit approval. LANDLORD shall immediately
notify CITY of the completion of every element in the Project Construction
Schedule.
I. LANDLORD acknowledges that late delivery of the Premises to CITY
will cause CITY to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease agreement, the exact
amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to fix. Therefore,
if LANDLORD does not deliver the improved Premises by the projected occupancy
date of , 201_, LANDLORD agrees to liquidated damages of Five
Hundred and 00100 Dollars ($500.00) for each day's delay from the projected
occupancy date of . 201_, to the date the CITY accepts the Premises or
terminates this Lease agreement. The parties agree that this charge represents a
fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that CITY will incur by reason of late
delivery. Acceptance of any charge shall not constitute a waiver of LANDLORD's
default or prevent CITY from exercising any of the other rights and remedies
available to CITY.
J. Notwithstanding subparagraphs "F", "G" and "I", above, in the event
LANDLORD, after exercising all due diligence, is unable to meet any of the above
mentioned Critical Completion Dates due to reasons which LANDLORD proves are
outside the control of LANDLORD, such reasons include but are not limited to acts
of God, unreasonable acts of governmental agencies causing unavoidable delays (the
normal and reasonable times for review, action and reasonably anticipated delays
by governmental agencies are already included in the timing of the Critical
Completion Dates), strikes, or labor troubles, then the Critical Completion Dates(s)
shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay.
(1) As soon as LANDLORD becomes aware, or should in the exercise
of due diligence have become aware of any facts or circumstances that may or will
cause such a delay, LANDLORD shall immediately notify CITY of any such delay or
anticipated delay. In the event LANDLORD fails to timely notify CITY of any such
delay or anticipated delay, LANDLORD, notwithstanding the main portion of this
subparagraph V" above, shall be subject to subparagraph "I", above, for the entire
length of any delay.
42. CAPTIONS TABLE OF CONTENTS AND COVER PAGE= The paragraph
captions, table of contents and the cover page of this Lease shall have no effect on
its interpretations.

beyond the term of this Lease, will survive the termination of this Lease.

provided information on former CITY administrative officials (as defined below)
20
2016-240
who are employed by or represent LANDLORD. The information provided includes

within the last five years and who are now officers, principals, partners, associates
or members of the business. The information should also include the employment
and/or representative capacity and the dates these individuals began employment

notice from the other party, shall execute and deliver to other party, in recordable
form, a certificate stating that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect,
or in full force and effect as modified, and stating the modifications. The certificate
also shall state the amount of minimum monthly rent, the dates to which the rent
has been paid in advance, the amount of any security deposit or prepaid rent, and
that there are no uncured defaults or specifying in reasonable detail the nature of
any uncured default claimed. Failure to deliver the certificate within thirty (30)
days shall be conclusive upon the party requesting the certificate and any successor
to the party requesting the certificate, that this Lease is in full force and effect and
has not been modified except as may be represented by the party requesting the
certificate, and that there are no uncured defaults on the part of the party
requesting the certificate. The estoppel certificate shall be in the form as shown in
Exhibit "D", Estoppel Certificate.

disturbance agreement which contains terms at least as favorable to the CITY as
those set forth in paragraph 2 ("Nondisturbance") of Exhibit "E", Subordination,
Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreement, hereto.
B. If, after execution of this Lease, a subsequent lienor requires that this
Lease be subordinate to any such encumbrance, this Lease shall be subordinate to
that encumbrance if, and only if, LANDLORD first obtains from the subsequent
lienor an executed subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement, the
terms of which are at least as favorable to the CITY as those set forth in Exhibit
21
2016--240
"E", Subordination, Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreement hereto. If the City
Attorney approves the form of a subordination, nondisturbance and attornment
agreement pursuant to this subparagraph, and if such agreement is executed by the
subsequent lienor, then the City Manager is authorized on behalf of the CITY to,
and shall, execute such agreement, and shall further execute any other documents
required by the lender to accomplish the purposes of this paragraph, provided such
other documents are consistent with the terms of the subordination, nondisturbance
and attornment agreement and this Lease.

LANDLORD's knowledge, information and belief. (i) the Premises and the property

LANDLORD's other tenants or licensees on the property of which the Premises
forms a part to cease and desist any illegal action in connection with a Hazardous
Substance, or to remediate a contaminated condition caused by the LANDLORD or

of such notice, within thirty (30) days after the condemning authority shall have
taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority
takes such possession. If CITY 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 rent shall be reduced in the same proportion as
the rentable floor area of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable floor area of

the Premises. No reduction of rent shall occur if the condemnation does not apply
to any portion of the Premises. CITY shall be entitled to receive the following
amounts of any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises under the
power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such
power: (a) one hundred percent (100%) of any amount attributable to any excess of
the market value of the Premises for the remainder of the Lease Term over the
present value as of the Termination Date of the Rent payable for the remainder of
the Lease Term (commonly referred to as the "bonus value" of the Lease); and (b)
CITY shall have the right to make a separate claim in the Condemnation
proceeding for: (i) The taking of the amortized or undepreciated value of any trade
fixtures or leasehold improvements owned by CITY that CITY has the right to
remove at the end of the Lease term and that CITY elects not to remove; (ii)
Reasonable removal and relocation costs for any trade fixtures or leasehold
improvements that CITY has the right to remove and elects to remove (if
Condemnor approves of the removal); (iii) Loss of goodwill; (iv) Relocation costs
under Government Code section 7262, the claim for which CITY may pursue by
separate action independent of this Lease; and (v) Any other amount in addition to
the foregoing that the CITY is allowed under condemnation law.
B. CITY shall have the right to negotiate directly with Condemnor for the
recovery of the portion of the Award that CITY is entitled to under subparagraph
(B) of this paragraph. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of
such condemnation, LANDLORD shall repair any damage to the Premises caused
by such condemnation authority pursuant to Paragraph 13, MAINTENANCE, and
Paragraph 19, DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES.
52. MATERIAL MISREPRESENTATION: If during the course of the
administration of this lease, the CITY determines that the LANDLORD has made a
material misstatement or misrepresentation or that materially inaccurate
information has been provided to the CITY, this Lease may be immediately
terminated. If this Lease is terminated according to this provision, the CITY is
entitled to pursue any available legal remedies.
53. INTERPRETATIONS: As this Lease was jointly prepared by both parties,
the language in all parts of this Lease shall be construed, in all cases, according to
its fair meaning, and not for or against either party hereto.

EXHIBIT "F"
PREVAILING WAGE REQUIREMENTS
A. All or a portion of the Landlord Improvements in the Contract or Purchase
Order (as applicable) requires the payment of prevailing wages and
compliance with the following requirements. As used in this Attachment,
the term "Contractor" shall include Landlord or Landlord's contractor
and/or subcontractors.
1. Determination of Prevailing Rates:
Pursuant to Labor Code sections 1770, et seq., the CITY has obtained from the
Director of the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) pursuant to the California
Labor Code, the general prevailing rates of per diem wages and the prevailing rates
for holiday and overtime work in the locality in which the Landlord Improvements
is to be performed. Copies of said rates are on file with the CITY, will be made
available for inspection during regular business hours, may be included elsewhere
in the specifications for the Landlord Improvements, and are also available online
at www.dir.ca.gov. The wage rate for any classification not listed, but which may
be required to execute the Landlord Improvements, shall be commensurate and in
accord with specified rates for similar or comparable classifications for those
performing similar or comparable duties. In accordance with Labor Code section
1773.2, the Contractor shall post, at appropriate and conspicuous locations on the
jobsite, a schedule showing all applicable prevailing wage rates and shall comply
with the requirements of Labor Code sections 1773, et seq.
2. Payment of Prevailing Rates
Each worker of the Contractor, or any subcontractor, engaged in the Landlord
Improvements, shall be paid not less than the general prevailing wage rate,
regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between
the Contractor or any subcontractor, and such worker.
3. Prevailing Rate Penalty
The Contractor shall, as a penalty, forfeit two hundred dollars ($200.00) to the
CITY for each calendar day or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the
prevailing rates as determined by the Director of the DIR for such work or craft in
which such worker is employed by the Contractor or by any subcontractor in
connection with the Landlord Improvements. Pursuant to California Labor Code
section 1775, the difference between such prevailing wage rates and the amount
paid to each worker for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for which each worker
was paid less than the prevailing wage rate, shall be paid to each worker by the
Contractor.
8
2016-240
4. Ineligible Contractors:
Pursuant to the provisions of Labor Code section 1777.1, the Labor Commissioner
publishes and distributes a list of contractors ineligible to perform work as a
contractor or subcontractor on a public works project. This list of debarred
contractors is available from the DIR website at http://www.dir.ca.gov/Public-
Works/PublicWorks.html. Any contract entered into between a contractor and a
debarred subcontractor is void as a matter of law. A debarred subcontractor may
not receive any public money for performing work as a subcontractor on a public
works contract, and any public money that may have been paid to a debarred
subcontractor by a contractor on the project shall be returned to the CITY. The
Contractor shall be responsible for the payment of wages to workers of a debarred
subcontractor who has been allowed to work on the Landlord Improvements.
6. Payroll Records:
Pursuant to California Labor Code section 1776, the Contractor and each
subcontractor, shall keep accurate certified payroll records, showing the name,
address, social security number, work classification, straight time and overtime
hours worked each day and week, and the actual per diem wages paid to each
journeyman, apprentice, worker or other employee employed by them in connection
with the Landlord Improvements. The payroll records enumerated herein shall be
verified by a written declaration made under penalty of perjury that the
information contained in the payroll record is true and correct and that the
Contractor or subcontractor has complied with the requirements of the California
Labor Code sections 1771, 1811, and 1815 for any Landlord Improvements
performed by his or her employees. The payroll records shall be available for
inspection at all reasonable hours at the principal office of the Contractor on the
following basis:
(1)A certified copy of an employee's payroll record shall be made available for
inspection or furnished to such employee or his/her authorized
representative on request;
(2)A certified copy of all payroll records shall be made available for
inspection or furnished upon request to the CITY, the Division of Labor
Standards Enforcement of the DIR;
(3)A certified copy of payroll records shall be made available upon request to
the public for inspection or copies thereof made; provided, however, that a
request by the public shall be made through either the CITY or the
Division of Labor Standards Enforcement. If the requested payroll
records have not been previously provided to the CITY or the Division of
Labor Standards Enforcement, the requesting party shall, prior to being
provided the records, reimburse the cost of preparation by the Contractor,
subcontractor and the entity through which the request was made; the
9
2016-240
public shall not be given access to such records at the principal office of
the Contractor;
(4) The Contractor shall file a certified copy of the payroll records with the
entity that requested such records within ten (10) days after receipt of a
written request; and
(5) Copies provided to the public, by the CITY or the Division of Labor
Standards Enforcement shall be marked or obliterated in such a manner
as to prevent disclosure of an individual's name, address and social
security number. The name and address of the Contractor or any
subcontractor, performing a part of the Landlord Improvements shall not
be marked or obliterated. The Contractor shall inform the CITY of the
location of payroll records, including the street address, city and CITY and
shall, within five (5) working days, provide a notice of a change of location
and address.
The Contractor shall have ten (10) days from receipt of the written notice specifying
in what respects the Contractor must comply with the above requirements. In the
event Contractor does not comply with the requirements of this section within the
ten (10) day period, the Contractor shall, as a penalty to the CITY, forfeit one-
hundred dollars ($100.00) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker,
until strict compliance is effectuated. Upon the request of the Division of Labor
Standards Enforcement, such penalty shall be withheld from any portion of the
payments then due or to become due to the Contractor.
6. Limits on Hours of Work:
Pursuant to California Labor Code section 1810, eight (8) hours of labor shall
constitute a legal day's work. Pursuant to California Labor Code section 1811, the
time of service `of any worker employed at any time by the Contractor or by a
subcontractor, upon the Landlord Improvements or upon any part of the Landlord
Improvements, is limited and restricted to eight (8) hours during any one calendar
day and forty (40) hours during any one calendar week, except as provided for under
Labor Code section 1815. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, work
performed by employees of Contractor or any subcontractor, in excess of eight (8)
hours per day and forty (40) hours during any one week, shall be permitted upon
compensation for all hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours per day at not less
than one and one-half(1%) times the basic rate of pay.
7. Penalty for Excess Hours:
The Contractor shall pay to the CITY a penalty of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for
each worker employed on the Landlord Improvements by the Contractor or any
subcontractor, for each calendar day during which such worker is required or
permitted to work more than eight (8) hours in any calendar day and forty (40)
hours in any one calendar week, in violation of the provisions of the California
10
2016-240
Labor Code, unless compensation to the worker so employed by the Contractor is

B. STATE PUBLIC WORKS APPRENTICESHIP REQUIRMENTS
1. State Public Works Apprenticeship Requirements:
The Contractor is responsible for compliance with Labor Code section 1777.5 and
the California Code of Regulations, title 8, sections 230 - 230.2 for all
apprenticeable occupations (denoted with V" symbol next to craft name in DIR
Prevailing Wage Determination), whether employed by the Contractor,
subcontractor, vendor or consultant. Included in these requirements is (1) the
Contractor's requirement to provide notification (i.e. DAS-140) to the appropriate
apprenticeship committees; (2) pay training fund contributions for each
apprenticeable hour employed on the Contract; and (3) utilize apprentices in a
minimum ratio of not less than one apprentice hour for each five journeyman hours
by completion of Contract work (unless an exception is granted in accordance with
Labor Code section 1777.5) or request for the dispatch of apprentices.
Any apprentices employed to perform any of the Landlord Improvements shall be
paid the standard wage to apprentices under the regulations of the craft or trade for
which such apprentice is employed, and such individual shall be employed only for
the work of the craft or trade to which such individual is registered. Only
apprentices, as defined in California Labor Code section 3077, who are in training
under apprenticeship standards and written apprenticeship agreements under
California Labor Code sections 3070 et seq. are eligible to be employed for the
Landlord Improvements. The employment and training of each apprentice shall be
in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship standards and apprentice
agreements under which such apprentice is training.
2. Compliance with California Labor Code section 1777.5 requires all public
works contractors to
Submit Contract Award Information (DAS-140)
a. Although there are a few exemptions (identified below), all Contractors,
regardless of union affiliation, must submit contract award information when
performing on a California public works project.
16
2016-240
b. The DAS-140 is a notification "announcement" of the Contractor's
participation on a public works project—it is not a request for the dispatch of
an apprentice.
c. Contractors shall submit the contract award information (you may use form
DAS 140) within 10 days of the execution of the prime contract or
subcontract, but in no event later than the first day in which the Contractor
has workers employed on the public work.
d. Contractors who are already approved to train apprentices (i.e. check "Box 1"
on the DAS-140) shall only be required to submit the form to their approved
program.
e. Contractors who are NOT approved to train apprentices (i.e. those that check
either "Box 2" or "Box 3" on the DAS-140) shall submit the DAS-140 TO
EACH of the apprenticeship program sponsors in the area of your public
works project. For a listing of apprenticeship programs see
http://www.dir.ca.gov/Databases/das/Pwaddrstart.asp.
Employ Registered Apprentices
a. Labor Code section 1777.5 requires that a contractor performing work in an
"apprenticeable" craft must employ one (1) hour of apprentice work for every
five (5) hours performed by a journeyman. This ratio shall be met prior to
the Contractor's completion of work on the project. "Apprenticeable" crafts
are denoted with a pound symbol "#" in front of the craft name on the
prevailing wage determination.
b. All Contractors who do not fall within an exemption category (see below)
must request for dispatch of an apprentice from an apprenticeship program
(for each apprenticeable craft or trade) by giving the program actual notice of
at least 72 hours (business days only) before the date on which apprentices
are required.
c. Contractors may use the "DAS-142" form for making a request for the
dispatch of an apprentice.
d. Contractors who are participating in an approved apprenticeship training
program and who did not receive sufficient number of apprentices from their
initial request must request dispatch of apprentices from ALL OTHER
apprenticeship committees in the project area in order to fulfill this
requirement.
e. Contractor should maintain and submit proof (when requested) of its DAS-
142 submittal to the apprenticeship committees (e.g. fax transmittal
confirmation). A Contractor has met its requirement to employ apprentices
only after it has successfully made a dispatch request to all apprenticeship
programs in the project area.
f. Only "registered" apprentices may be paid the prevailing apprentice rates
and must, at all times work under the supervision of a Journeyman (Cal.
Code Regs., tit 8, § 230.1).
Make Training Fund Contributions
17
2016-240
a. Contractors performing in apprenticeable crafts on public works projects,
must make training fund contributions in the amount established in the
prevailing wage rate publication for journeymen and apprentices.
b. Contractors may use the "CAC-2" form for submittal of their training fund
contributions.
c. Contractors who do not submit their training fund contributions to an
approved apprenticeship training program must submit their contributions to
the California Apprenticeship Council (CAC), PO Box 420603, San Francisco,
CA 94142-0603.
d. Training fund contributions to the CAC are due and payable on the 15th day
of the month for work performed during the preceding month.
e. The "training" contribution amount identified on the prevailing wage
determination shall not be paid to the worker, unless the worker falls within
one of the exemption categories listed below.
3. Exemptions to Apprenticeship Requirements:
The following are exempt from having to comply with California apprenticeship
requirements. These types of contractors do not need to submit a DAS-140, DAS-
142, make training fund contributions, or utilize apprentices.
a. When the Contractor holds a sole proprietor license ("Owner-Operator") and
no workers were employed by the Contractor. In other words, the contractor
performed the entire work from start to finish and worked alone.
b. Contractors performing in non-apprentice able crafts. "Apprenticeable" crafts
are denoted with a pound symbol "#" in front of the craft name on the
prevailing wage determination.
c. When the Contractor has a direct contract with the Public Agency that is
under $30,000.
d. When the project is 100% federally-funded and the funding of the project does
not contain any city, CITY, and/or state monies (unless the project is
administered by a state agency in which case the apprenticeship
requirements apply).
e. When the project is a private project not covered by the definition of public
works as found in Labor Code section 1720.
4. Exemption from Apprenticeship Ratios:
The Joint Apprenticeship Committee shall have the discretion to grant a certificate,
which shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator of Apprenticeship,
exempting the Contractor from the 1-to-5 ratio set forth in this Section when it
finds that any one of the following conditions are met=
18
2016-240
a. Unemployment for the previous three-month period in such area
exceeds an average of fifteen percent (15%); or
b. The number of apprentices in training in such area exceeds a ratio of
1-to-5 in relation to journeymen; or
C. The Apprenticeable Craft or Trade is replacing at least one-thirtieth
(1/30) of its journeymen annually through apprenticeship training, either on
a statewide basis or on a local basis; or
d. If assignment of an apprentice to any work performed under the
Contract Documents would create a condition which would jeopardize such
apprentice's life or the life, safety or property of fellow employees or the
public at large, or if the specific task to which the apprentice is to be assigned
is of such a nature that training cannot be provided by a journeyman.
When such exemptions from the 1-to-5 ratio between apprentices and journeymen
are granted to an organization which represents contractors in a specific trade on a
local or statewide basis, the member contractors will not be required to submit
individual applications for approval to local Joint Apprenticeship Committees,
provided they are already covered by the local apprenticeship standards.
5. Contractor's Compliance
The responsibility of compliance with this Section for all Apprenticeable Trades or
Crafts is solely and exclusively that of the Contractor. All decisions of the Joint
Apprenticeship Committee(s) under this Section are subject to the provisions of
California Labor Code section 3081 and penalties are pursuant to Labor Code
section 1777.7 and the determination of the Labor Commissioner.
