SHANDIN HILLS GOLF CLUB LEASE
THIS LEASE shall be effective as of January 1, 1985,
regardless of the actual date of execution hereof, by and between
the Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Bernardino,
California, (the "Agency"), a public body, corporate and politic,
organized and existing under the laws of the State of California,
and Shandin Hills Golf Club, a California corporation (the
"Tenant").
RECITALS
This Agreement is made and entered into with reference to
the following matters:
A. The Agency is a redevelopment agency duly created,
established and authorized to transact business and exercise its
powers under and pursuant to the Community Redevelopment Law,
commencing with Section 33000 of the Health and Safety Code of
the State of California (the "Law") and the powers of the Agency
include the power to issue bonds for any of its corporate
purposes and to own and dispose of property, all in accordance
with the Law.
B. Under and pursuant to the Law, the Agency adopted
Resolution No. 3522 on February 9, 1978 (the "Resolution"),
authorizing the issuance of $6,000,000 of tax allocation bonds,
which authorization was subsequently increased to $12,000,000.
In addition, certain mortgage revenue bonds were issued by the
Agency, in two issues, totalling $3,000,000, the proceeds from
which have been expended to develop and improve the golf course,
referred to in recital D below. All such bonds were issued to
finance, among other things, a portion of the cost of a
redevelopment project known as the State College Project No. 4
(the "Project"), or the golf course, or both.
C. The Redevelopment Plan (the "Plan") for the Project was
approved and adopted by Ordinance No. 3067 of the City, which
became effective on May 28, 1970.
D. The Plan, among other things, provides for the
construction of an eighteen (18) hole public golf course (the
"Golf Course") within the Project. The Golf Course has
heretofore been constructed by the Agency in compliance with its
obligations under the First Lease hereinafter referred to in
Recital Clause E.
E. Pursuant to the provisions of Resolution No. 3589, on or
about May 1, 1978, the Agency made and entered into a Lease and
Operating Agreement (the "First Lease") relative to the Golf
Course. The same was recorded May 8, 1980, as Instrument No. 80-
109858 in the Official Records of San Bernardino County,
California. The Operator under the First Lease, All America City
Public Golf, Inc., a corporation (the "Former Operator") took
possession of and accepted the Golf Course "as is" on or about
August 1, 1981, and has heretofore maintained the same, but has
not opened it to public play.
F. The Former Operator has heretofore defaulted under the
First Lease and a notice of such default was duly recorded
November 28, 1984, as Instrument No. 84-284506 in the Official
Records of San Bernardino County, California. Such default was
-2-
not cured as prescribed in the aforesaid Notice of Default and,
accordingly, all of the rights of the Former Operator under the
First Lease have now been terminated.
G. The Former Operator has heretofore incurred certain
debts and obligations relative to the Golf Course and its
possession thereof under the First Lease (the "Existing Debt").
The Agency wishes to be assured that the Existing Debt is paid
and Tenant desires to be held fully free and harmless thereof.
H. Tenant is experienced in the design, construction
operation and management of golf courses and related facilities
and is fully qualified to manage and operate the Golf Course.
I. Agency and Tenant both recognize the extremely fragile
nature of golf course grounds which require constant, meticulous
care and attention. The parties recognize that greens are
particularly fragile and that, unless constantly cared for,
greens can be severely damaged or lost in an extremely short
period of time, which in cases, depending on the weather and
other conditions, may be as short as eight to twenty-four hours.
J. The parties recognize that the average golf player has
little opportunity to play except on Saturdays, Sundays and
holidays, and the parties desire that the Golf Course be operated
in such a manner as to assure maximum feasible availability of
the Golf Course for such individual play. The operating
agreement to be adopted to implement the policies estahlished in
this Lease shall provide for actual hours during which the Golf
Course shall be open for individual play on weekends and
holidays, and that no non -local tournaments shall be scheduled in
such a manner as to interfere with such availability for
individual play.

Agency may utilize such funds for the maintenance of the
Golf Course until such time as a new Operator has been obtained
therefor and has accepted responsibility for the maintenance of
the Golf Course. Once a new Operator has been selected and has
assumed operation of the Golf Course, Agency shall compute its
expenses incurred from maintenance of the Golf Course from and
after the time it first assumed responsibility for maintenance,
and shall compute its expenses and losses from all other causes
arising during and after the default, including attorney fees,
court costs, advertising expenses, operation and maintenance
expenses, and any other similar expense encountered as a result
-14-
result of the default of Tenant. Agency shall remit to Tenant
any excess from the Security Deposit not expended, and any
portion of such expenses recovered from the new Operator, up to
the total amount of the Security Deposit.
Section 9. Creation of Existing Debt Fund.

placed as a deposit with Agency to its credit toward this
account, and, coincident with the signing hereof, shall deposit
an additional $50,000 with Agency, for a total of $100,000 to be

each month during the second lease year, sufficient to pay
principal in the amount of $200,000 plus all accrued interest;
and monthly payments during the third year, payable on or before
the last day of each month, sufficient to pay the entire $300,000
balance on principal, plus all accrued interest. The promissory
note shall be secured by personal guarantees, in form
satisfactory to Agency by the following persons and entities, who
shall be jointly and severally liable thereon: L.S. Hawley
Corp., a California corporation; L. David Hawley and Betty J.

Hawley, husband and wife; James E. Hawley and Patricia Hawley,
husband and wife; David A. Hartley and Barbara E. Hartley,

of the facilities demised hereunder.
-16-
Section 11.
All structures and improvements, including alterations, if
any, made, erected or constructed by Tenant upon the Demised
Premises, shall remain the property of Tenant during the term of
this Lease. Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease,

cost of living.

damages or injury occasioned by the negligence of Agency, its
agents, servants or employees, Tenant shall keep and hold Agency
free and harmless from any and all costs, liability, damage or
expense (including costs of suit and expense of legal services)
claimed by anyone by reason of injury or damage to person or to
property sustained in, on or about the Demised Premises, or
arising out of Tenant's operations on the Demised Premises as a
proximate result of the acts or omissions of its agents, servants
or employees, or arising out of any condition of the Demised
Premises, or arising out of the operations of Tenant upon, about
or above the Demised Premises.
Section 15. Insurance Covering Demised Premises. Tenant
shall, at its own expense, or upon failure of Tenant to do so,
Agency may, at the expense of Tenant, obtain and keep in effect
�-M
at all times during the term of this Lease, fire and extend
coverage insurance, including debris removal, upon all
improvements to the Demised Premises, customarily covered by such
insurance. The Agency shall have the property appraised by a
competent appraiser, and provided a copy thereof to Tenant. The
Agency may thereafter have the property reappraised periodically
at its option. Such policies of insurance shall be for not less
than ninety (90%) percent of the insurable replacement value of
the property covered and shall provide for payment of losses to
Agency and Tenant as their interests may appear. All policies of
insurance required under this Lease shall be in standard form, in
such amounts and written by such qualified insurance companies
authorized to do business in the State of California as shall
satisfy the Agency. Such insurance policies shall contain a
clause whereby the insurance carrier waives all right of
subrogation against Tenant and Agency, and, if obtained by
Agency, there shall be included in each such policy a waiver by
the carrier of all rights of subrogation against Tenant. Copies
or certificates of all such policies shall not be subject to
cancellation upon less than thirty (30) days' prior written
notice by registered mail to the Agency.

as the insured party and the Agency as an additional insured, and
provide that losses payable thereunder shall, upon the consent of
Agency, be payable to Tenant. The proceeds of such insurance
shall be used to discharge Tenant's obligation under this Lease
as respects repair, restoration or replacement of the improvement
referred to in this Lease. In the event such improvements are
-19-
not required to be repaired, restored or replaced under the terms
of this Lease and any insurance proceeds shall be used first to
cover the costs of removing all debris, then the net proceeds
then remaining shall be divided between the Agency and the Tenant
respectively in the ratio that the period of time from the date
of the casualty to the expiration date of the term hereof bears
to the entire term.
Section 16. Assignments and Subleases.
A. Tenant shall not mortgage, hypothecate, pledge or
otherwise encumber or assign the leasehold herein created without
the prior written consent of the Agency. The parties recognize

qualifications of the key managers and proposed operating
personnel of Tenant. Any consideration of assignment shall be
judged by the same standards.

Premises as a result of any act or omission of Tenant, of if
Tenant makes an attempt to assign this Lease for the benefit of
its creditors, or if possession of the Demised Premises shall be
attempted to be taken by virtue of any attachment, execution or
the levy of any judicial process, then, and in each and every
such case, .any person taking such possession pursuant to any such

interest in and/or to this leasehold, the Demised Premises or the
rights granted herein without first securing the written consent
of the Agency.

arising out of any work done in, on or about the Demised
Premises, or in connection with the use thereof by Tenant,
subject, however, to reasonable protection, rules and regulations
of Tenant.
In addition to the foregoing, Agency shall at all times have
the right to enter upon the premises for the purpose of
inspecting the grounds and the greens, and for this purpose is
authorized to bring upon such property such advisers and experts
as Agency may designate. In the event that Agency determines
that any green or greens are in imminent danger of loss, due to

other portion of the course is in immediate danger, Agency shall
immediately attempt to notify Tenant or Tenant's management of
the conditions found and demand immediate corrective action.

part to be performed, kept or observed, or any terms of the
operating Agreement executed coincident herewith, or any
amendment thereof or substitute therefor, the other party may
give written notice to correct such condition or cure such
default. If such condition or default shall continue for 30 days
after the service of such notice, the party not in default may
give notice of its election to terminate this Lease within 20
days after service of such notice that this Lease shall cease and
terminate. Such election to terminate by either party shall not
be construed as a waiver of any claim it may have against the
other party, consistent with such termination.
-22-
If, however, any default is of such nature that it cannot
physically be remedied within 30 days, and if the party in
default shall have commenced the elimination of such default
promptly after the receipt of such notice, and shall continuously
and diligently proceed in good faith to eliminate such default,
then the period for correction shall be extended for such length
of time as is reasonably necessary to complete such correction.
This provision, however, shall not affect any rights of
Agency if there shall be any default in the payment by Tenant of
the rent, Additional Rent or other consideration provided herein.
If there be such default, Agency may give Tenant a 15 -day written
notice to pay all sums due, owing and unpaid, and if such payment
be not made within such 15 -day period, this Lease and Tenant's
rights hereunder shall, at the election of the Agency stated
therein, forthwith terminate.

occupying or using the Demised Premises or shall be prevented
from conducting or carrying on its golf course operations, or
other operations as permitted by this Lease on said Demised

authority, then Tenant may, at its option, cancel this Lease by
written notice to Agency and said Lease shall be and become
cancelled and terminated 30 days after the mailing thereof, as
provided in Section 20, Subsection A thereof, or by delivering
such notice to the Agency.
C. In the event of a cancellation of this Lease as a result
of Agency's default, the damages recoverable by Tenant shall be
IWMI
limited to those recoverable under .the laws of the State of
California. In the event of a cancellation of this Lease by
Tenant as a result of the occurrence of any of the events
specified in Subsection B of Section 20, Agency shall not be
liable to Tenant for any damages claimed by it as a result
thereof, but Tenant shall be relieved of its obligations to pay
the rental provided herein commencing as of the effective date of
Tenant's notice of cancellation.

default all taxes whatever character that may be lawfully levied

possessory interest taxes. Tenant shall also promptly pay
without default all license or permit fees necessary or required
by law for the conduct of its operations hereunder. However,
Tenant may contest, in good faith, the levy of any such taxes or
fees without cost to Agency, provided that no such contest shall
result in any attachment, lien or encumbrance against or upon the
Demised Premises. Nothing herein contained shall be construed so
as to deprive Tenant of any rights to which it would otherwise be
entitled.

permit to be erected or displayed, on the Demised Premises, any
sign or advertising matter of any kind without first obtaining
