Subject Retail Lease Agreement with House Martel, LLC to operate a cafe at the
Dove Library.
Recommended Action
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the execution of a retail lease agreement ("Lease") with House
Martel, LLC to operate a cafe at 1775 Dove Lane, commonly known as the Dove Library Cafe.
Executive Summary
In November 2017, City Council authorized the release of a Request for Proposals ("RFP") to lease
the cafe space at 1775 Dove Lane (Resolution No. 2017-209). The city received four proposals
and city staff recommended Lisa Martel, the sole member of House Martel, LLC, as the
prospective tenant following evaluation by an internal selection committee. City Council
authorized city staff to negotiate exclusively with Lisa Martel on February 13, 2018 (Resolution
No. 2018-015). Staff and Lisa Martel negotiated the proposed Lease in which Lisa Martel will
operate a cafe with a menu and atmosphere that will complement and enhance the Dove Library
experience for patrons. Staff is before City Council to approve the negotiated Lease pursuant to
the adopted Real Estate Strategic Plan (October 2017) and City Council direction in February
2018.
Discussion
The cafe is an approximately 700 square foot shell space located adjacent to the courtyard & the
entrance to the Dove Library ("Library"). The cafe shell space was included as a part of the overall
Library improvement project completed in 2016 with the goal of enhancing the location as a
community gathering place and to serve patrons visiting the library and gallery, attending cultural
programs, meetings and events in the courtyard. Staff has been working to identify a new tenant
for the cafe to enhance the Library experience by creating a new gathering space for the
community which will complement existing service offerings. In February of 2018, the City
Council selected Lisa Martel as the prospective new tenant for the property subject to City
Council approval of the Lease.
The recommended Lease includes a five-year term with one five-year option to renew. The
annual base rent starts at $14,796 per year and increases to $16,653 per year by year five,
increasing 3% per year.
July 24, 2018 Item #1 Page 1 of 51
The city will deliver the space in an "as-is" condition, and House Martel, LLC intends to complete
all needed tenant improvements. In November 2017, the City Council authorized a city-funded
tenant improvement budget of up to $80,000 (Resolution No. 2017-209). As such, the city will
reimburse House Martel, LLC up to the authorized $80,000 for tenant improvements to the
property. House Martel, LLC will be installing a new kitchen, seating area, and coffee bar within
the footprint of the cafe. The total estimated cost for all the tenant improvements to the cafe is
approximately $140,000. Funding is available is the Library & Cultural Arts operating budget. No
additional appropriations are required.
Fiscal Analysis
House Martel, LLC will initially pay the city an annual minimum lease payment of $14,796 ($1,233
per month). The city will pay for all utilities associated with the lease of the cafe. Lease payments
do not commence until House Martel, LLC receives a certificate of occupancy from the city, or
180-days from the date tenant receives the building permit necessary to complete the tenant
improvements, whichever occurs first. The minimum rent shall be adjusted 3% annually over the
course of the Lease.
Period (Years) Minimum Annual Rent
1 $14,796
2 $15,240
3 $15,697
4 $16,168
5 $16,653
The city anticipates the total minimum revenue generated from the Lease to be $78,554 over the
initial five-year term.
Next Steps
Once the Lease is executed, House Martel, LLC will submit construction improvement plans to the
city for approval.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
The proposed action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State
CEQA guidelines 15301-Existing Facilities. Section 15301 exempts the leasing of property involving
negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time ofthe agency's determination.

July 24, 2018 Item #1 Page 7 of 51
an approximation which Landlord and Tenant agree is reasonable and the Base Rent based
thereon is not subject to revision whether or not the actual square footage is more or less.
2.2 Condition of the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that except as
otherwise expressly provided herein it shall accept the Premises in its "AS IS" condition, without
representation, warranty or any improvements by Landlord. Landlord makes no
representations or warranties with respect to this Lease, the Premises or any property therein
or with respect to any matter related thereto, other than as expressly set forth in this Lease.
Tenant hereby acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to investigate and inspect the
condition of the Premises and the suitability of same for Tenant's purposes, and Tenant does
hereby (a) waive and disclaim any objection to, cause of action based upon, or claim that its
obligations hereunder should be reduced or limited because of the condition of the Premises or
the suitability of same for Tenant's purposes and (b) acknowledge that the Premises are in
good, clean and sanitary order and repair and by taking possession Tenant accepts the Premises
as it exists. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent nor any employee of
Landlord has made any representations or warranty with respect to the Premises or with
respect to the suitability of either for the conduct of Tenant's business and Tenant expressly
warrants and represents that Tenant has relied solely on its own investigation and inspection of
the Premises in its decision to enter into this Lease and let the Premises in an "AS IS" condition
and is not relying on any statements, representations or warranties whatsoever made by or
enforceable directly or indirectly against Landlord relating to the condition, operations,
dimensions, descriptions, soil condition, suitability, compliance or lack of compliance with any
state, federal, county or local law, ordinance, order, permit or regulation, or any other attribute
or matter of or relating to the Premises. No promise of Landlord to alter, remodel, repair or
improve the Premises, and no representation, express or implied, respecting any matter
relating to the Premises or this Lease (including, without limitation, the condition of the
Premises) has been made to Tenant by Landlord or any agent of Landlord other than as may be
contained herein.
2.3 Delivery of Possession. Tenant shall accept possession of the Premises
from Landlord on the Term Commencement Date; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be
entitled to possession of the Premises until Landlord has received from Tenant all of the
following: (i) the Security Deposit, the first monthly installment of Base Rent for the first (1st)
full month after the Rent Commencement Date; and (ii) executed copies of policies of insurance
or certificates or binders thereof as required under Article 9 below. Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, upon its execution of this Lease, the sums specified in clause (i) above. If Tenant is

Date, Tenant's Completion Date (as hereinafter defined) and the Rent Commencement Date

-4 -
July 24, 2018 Item #1 Page 8 of 51
maps and restrictions affecting all or any part of the Premises, so long as such easements,
rights, dedications, maps and restrictions do not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of
the Premises. Tenant shall sign any of the aforementioned documents upon Landlord's request
and Tenant's failure to do so or breach of this Section shall constitute a material default under
this Lease. Tenant shall cooperate with and not oppose or object to Landlord's construction,
development, subdivision and parcelization of all or any part of the Premises and any property
adjacent to the Premises.
2.5 Existing Equipment. Landlord hereby grants Tenant the right to use any
and all existing furniture and equipment ("Existing Equipment"), if any, used by the prior tenant
of the Premises and located within the Premises on the Term Commencement Date. Tenant
acknowledges that it shall accept the Existing Equipment in its "AS IS" condition, without
representation or warranty by Landlord. Said right shall be coterminous with this Lease and
upon such termination, the Existing Equipment shall be deemed to constitute part of the
Premises and surrendered by Tenant to Landlord in good condition and repair, ordinary wear
and tear and damage from casualty excepted.
ARTICLE 3
TERM
3.1 Term. The Term of this Lease ("Term") shall commence on the Term
Commencement Date and shall expire, unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Lease,
on the Expiration Date. After the Rent Commencement Date, upon Landlord's request, Tenant
shall promptly execute a Memorandum of Term Commencement in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit B, which shall specify the Term Commencement Date, Rent Commencement Date
and the Expiration Date. If Tenant fails to execute a Memorandum of Term Commencement,
such failure shall not affect Tenant's obligation to commence paying rent upon the occurrence
of the Rent Commencement Date.
3.2 Extension Option. Landlord hereby grants to the Tenant originally
named in this Lease ("Original Tenant") one (1) options to extend the Term for a period of five
(5) years each (each an "Extension Term"), commencing upon the expiration of the Term or
prior Extension Term, as applicable. Each such option shall be exercisable only if Tenant is not
then in default under this Lease and no event has occurred which, with notice or the passage of
time or both, would constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease. Each such option shall be
exercisable by Original Tenant by delivery of written notice to Landlord ("Tenant's Extension
Notice") at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the commencement of the applicable
Extension Term, but not more than two hundred seventy (270)-days prior to the
commencement of the applicable Extension Term. The option is personal to the Original Tenant
and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant if it then occupies all of the Premises.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to disapprove such extension if
such extension would interfere with Landlord's future development plans involving the
Premises, provided that Landlord delivers notice of such disapproval ("Disapproval Notice") to
Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's Extension Notice. If Tenant fails to
-5 -
July 24, 2018 Item #1 Page 9 of 51
deliver Tenant's Extension Notice as provided above or if Landlord delivers a Disapproval Notice
as provided above, then Tenant's options to extend as to the applicable Extension Term and
any future Extension Term shall forever terminate and be of no further force or effect. In the
event Tenant exercises an option to extend and Landlord does not deliver a Disapproval Notice,
the Term and all of the terms and conditions of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect
to the end of the applicable Extension Term, except that the Base Rent shall be adjusted as
follows:
(a) Base Rent for the first twelve (12) months of each Extension Term
shall be the greater of (a) the Fair Market Rental Value (defined below), or (b) one hundred
three percent (103%) of the monthly Base Rent applicable immediately prior to the
commencement of such Extension Term, and Base Rent shall increase every twelve (12) full
calendar months thereafter by three percent (3%). As used herein, "Fair Market Rental Value"
means the prevailing rent for premises comparable in size and use to the Premises, in a similar
location in Carlsbad, taking into consideration all allowances for tenant improvements, moving
expenses, landlord expenses, rent abatement, brokerage expenses, tenant benefits or any
other market concessions which may be commonly available at the commencement of such
Extension Term.
(b) Within sixty (60) days after receipt of Tenant's Extension Notice,
Landlord shall deliver notice to Tenant of Landlord's determination of the Fair Market Rental
Value for the applicable Extension Term. Tenant shall have twenty (20) days to either agree
with Landlord's determination, or notify Landlord that Tenant disagrees with Landlord's
determination of the Fair Market Rental Value ("Objection Notice"). If Tenant delivers an
Objection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to agree upon the Fair
Market Rental Value for the Extension Term. When Landlord and Tenant have agreed upon the
Fair Market Rental Value for the Premises, such agreement shall be reflected in a Lease
amendment reflecting the renewal and new Base Rent, with all of the other terms and
conditions remaining as provided in this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord and
Tenant are unable to agree upon the Fair Market Rental Value for the Extension Term within
thirty (30) days after the date of Tenant's Objection Notice (the "Agreement Deadline"), the
dispute resolution provisions below shall apply.
(c) Dispute Resolution Procedure:
(i) If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Fair
Market Rental Value for the Extension Term by the Agreement Deadline, then within 5 days
thereafter Landlord and Tenant shall each simultaneously submit to the other, in a sealed
envelope, its good faith estimate of the Fair Market Rental Value for the Extension Term
(collectively, the "Estimates"). If the higher of such Estimates is not more than 105% of the
lower of such Estimates, the Fair Market Rental Value shall be deemed to be the average of the
two Estimates. Otherwise, within 7 days after the exchange of Estimates, Landlord and Tenant
shall each select an appraiser to determine which of the two Estimates most closely reflects the
Fair Market Rental Value for the Extension Term. As used herein, the term "appraiser" shall be
- 6 -
July 24, 2018 Item #1 Page 10 of 51
mean a real estate broker licensed with the State of California who has had at least 10 years'
experience as a real estate broker working in San Diego County, with working knowledge of
current rental rates and leasing practices relating to premises similar to and within the location
of the Premises.
(ii) If each party selects an appraiser in accordance with
subsection (i) above, the parties shall cause their respective appraisers to work together in
good faith to agree upon which of the two Estimates most closely reflects the Fair Market
Rental Value for the Extension Term. The Estimate, if any, so agreed upon by such appraisers
shall be final and binding on both parties as the Fair Market Rental Value for the Extension
Term and may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the appraisers fail to reach
such agreement within 20 days after their selection, then, within 10 days after the expiration of
such 20-day period, the parties shall instruct the appraisers to select a third appraiser meeting
the above criteria (the "Final Appraiser") (and if the appraisers fail to agree upon such third
appraiser within 10 days after being so instructed, either party may cause a court of competent
jurisdiction to select such third appraiser). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if only one of the
parties had selected an appraiser within the 7-day period described above, then such appraiser
shall be the Final Appraiser. Promptly upon determination of the Final Appraiser, the parties
shall instruct the Final Appraiser to determine, as soon as practicable but in any case within 14
days after determination of the Final Appraiser, which of the two Estimates most closely
reflects the Fair Market Rental Value. Such determination by the Final Appraiser shall be final
and binding on both parties as the Fair Market Rental Value for the Extension Term and may be
entered in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the Final Appraiser believes that expert advice
would materially assist him or her, he or she may retain one or more qualified persons to
provide such expert advice. The parties shall share equally in the costs of the Final Appraiser
and of any experts retained by the Final Appraiser. Any fees of any other appraiser, counsel or
expert engaged by Landlord or Tenant shall be borne by the party retaining such appraiser,
counsel or expert.
(iii) If the Fair Market Rental Value has not been determined
by the commencement date of the Extension Term, Tenant shall pay Base Rent for the
Extension Term upon the terms and conditions in effect during the last month ending
immediately prior to the commencement of the Extension Term until such time as the Fair
Market Rental Value has been determined. Upon such determination, the Base Rent for the
Extension Term shall be retroactively adjusted. If such adjustment results in an underpayment
of Base Rent by Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of such underpayment with or
against the next Base Rent due under this Lease.
3.3 Surrender of Premises. On the Expiration Date or on the sooner
termination hereof, Tenant shall remove all of Tenant's Property from the Premises and
peaceably surrender the Premises in accordance with the terms of this Section and in good
order, condition and repair, broom clean and free of debris, excepting only ordinary wear and
tear. "Ordinary wear and tear" shall not include any damage or deterioration that would have
been prevented by good maintenance practice. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof,
- 7 -
July 24, 2018 Item #1 Page 11 of 51
Tenant shall not remove (unless requested to by Landlord, in which case Tenant shall remove)
all or any part of Tenant's Work and the Tenant Improvements, or any fixtures or equipment
which cannot be removed without material damage to the Premises. If Landlord so elects, such
items shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof, without
charge, at the expiration or termination of this Lease and shall then become the property of
Landlord. Tenant shall repair, to the satisfaction of Landlord, any damage to the Premises
caused by any removal, or by the use of the Premises or by any failure of Tenant to comply with
the terms of this Lease (including, without limitation, provisions relating to Hazardous
Substances). Tenant shall promptly surrender all keys for the Premises to Landlord at the place
then fixed for notices to Landlord and shall inform Landlord of the combinations on any locks
and safes on the Premises. The provisions of this Section shall survive termination of this Lease.
3.4 Holding Over. Tenant has no right to retain possession of the Premises
or any part thereof beyond the expiration or termination of this Lease. The failure of Tenant to
timely surrender the Premises in the condition required by Section 3.3 above shall constitute a
holdover shall not be considered a renewal of this Lease or an extension of the Term. In the
event of any such holdover Base Rent shall immediately be increased to an amount equal to
150% of the Base Rent applicable during the month immediately preceding the expiration or
termination. In addition to paying Landlord the increased Base Rent, Tenant shall defend,
indemnify, protect and hold Landlord harmless from and against all claims, liability, damages,
costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and costs of defending the same, incurred by
Landlord and arising directly or indirectly from Tenant's holding over in the Premises without
Landlord's express written consent, including (a) any rent payable by or any loss, cost or
damages, including lost profits and loss of good will claimed by any prospective tenant of the
Premises, and (b) Landlord's damages as a result of such prospective tenant's rescinding or
refusing to enter into the prospective lease of the Premises as a direct or indirect result of
Tenant's holding over. No action by Landlord other than Landlord's express written consent
shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant.
3.5 Waiver of Relocation Benefits: Tenant understands this Lease is entered
into for a specified period of time. Tenant therefore waives any and all relocation benefits
defined in the California Relocation Assistance Law (Government Code, Section 7260, et. seq.).
ARTICLE 4
CONSTRUCTION AND OPENING DATE
4.1 Construction. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall commence
construction of Tenant's Work as described in Exhibit C and more particularly described in the
Final Plans for such work that have been approved by Landlord, promptly upon delivery of
possession of the Premises to Tenant, and shall diligently prosecute the same to completion on
or before the Opening Date in accordance with Article 12 below.

amended or recodified from time to time ("Tenant's Certificate of Completion") in recordable
form and (ii) deliver to Landlord a valid Certificate of Occupancy for the Premises issued,by the
appropriate governmental agency. Landlord shall have the right to record or cause Tenant to
record Tenant's Certificate of Completion in the official records of the County Recorder's Office
of San Diego County.

Percentage Rent and Additional Rent (defined below). Unless provided herein to the contrary,
Tenant shall pay all rent to Landlord at Landlord's Address for Rent Payments provided in

agrees that: (a) any construction, alteration, demolition, installation or repair work performed
under this Lease constitutes "public work" under California Prevailing Wage Law, including
Labor Code sections 1720 through 1815, et seq. (the "PWL"), and will obligate Tenant to cause

proceedings, orders, directives, costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from or

ARTICLE 13
TENANT'S PROPERTY
13.1 Tenant's Property. All trade fixtures, goods, inventory, merchandise,
stock, supplies, decorative light fixtures, and movable equipment owned by Tenant and
installed in the Premises at Tenant's sole cost and which may be removed without material
damage to the Premises {"Tenant's Property") shall remain the property of Tenant during the
Term. Except as provided to the contrary in Section 12.3 above, Tenant's Property shall be
removable from time to time and at the expiration of the Term or earlier termination thereof,
provided that: (i) Tenant shall not at such time be in default, or with notice or the passage of
time or both would be in default, under any term, covenant, condition or provision of this
Lease; (ii) Tenant shall repair to the satisfaction of Landlord, any damage to the Premises
caused by the removal of Tenant's Property; and (iii) Tenant immediately replaces any such
Tenant's Property with similar property of comparable or better quality to assure that the
Premises are suitable for conducting business in accordance with Articles 5 and 10 hereof.
13.2 Landlord's Lien. Subject to the rights of Tenant, if any, under
Section 9102{4) of the California Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or recodified from
time to time, Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a security interest in and lien upon Tenant's
Property and the proceeds thereof as security for Tenant's performance of all the terms,
covenants, conditions, provisions and obligations under this Lease. Upon Landlord's request,
Tenant shall execute a security agreement, UCC-1 financing statement, continuation statement
and such other documents as Landlord may reasonably require to evidence, create, protect,
-21 -
July 24, 2018 Item #1 Page 25 of 51
perfect and preserve the validity and priority of Landlord's lien upon and security interest in
Tenant's Property.
ARTICLE 14
DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
In the event of damage or destruction to the Premises by fire, the elements or
any other cause, Tenant shall, within ninety (90) days, commence and diligently pursue to
completion the repair, replacement or reconstruction of improvements necessary to permit full
use and occupancy of the Premises for the purposes provided in this Lease. Repair, replacement
or reconstruction of the Premises shall be accomplished in a manner and according to plans
approved by Landlord; provided, however, Tenant shall not be obligated to repair, reconstruct
or replace the improvements following their destruction in whole or substantial part except to
the extent the loss is covered by insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this
Lease (or would be covered whether or not such required insurance is actually in effect). If
Tenant is not obligated and elects not to restore, repair or reconstruct as herein provided, then
this Lease shall terminate and neither party shall have any further obligation to the other,
except for Tenant's obligation to pay rent and other charges which are accrued and unpaid as
of the termination date and other provisions that survive the termination of this Lease. Tenant
hereby waives California Civil Code Sections 1932 and 1933, as amended or recodified from
time to time.
ARTICLE 15
EMINENT DOMAIN
15.1 Total or Substantial Taking. If all of the Premises are taken under the
power of eminent domain or such a substantial portion thereof is so taken that reasonable
restoration will not result in the Premises being reasonably suitable for the conduct of Tenant's
business, this Lease shall terminate on the date that Tenant is required to yield possession to
the condemning authority, or on the date that the possession of the Premises or part thereof is
taken, whichever is later. The term "eminent domain" shall include the exercise of any
governmental power of condemnation and any private sale or other transfer in lieu of or under
threat of condemnation.
15.2 Partial Taking. If there is a partial taking of the Premises, and after
restoration of any building or other improvements, the Premises would be reasonably suitable
for Tenant's continued occupancy and conduct of its business, Landlord, at its sole option, may
elect to terminate this Lease or affirm this Lease by delivering written notice to Tenant within
fifteen (15) days after any such partial taking. If Landlord fails to send any such written notice,
this Lease shall terminate on the later of the dates that possession is so taken or that Tenant or
Landlord is required to yield possession to the condemning authority. If Landlord elects to
affirm this Lease, then: (i) this Lease shall terminate as to the part taken as of the date of
transfer of possession; (ii) the rental shall be reduced in the same proportion as the square
footage of the portion of the Premises taken bears to the original square footage of the
-22 -
July 24, 2018 Item #1 Page 26 of 51
Premises; and (iii) Landlord shall, at its own cost and expense, make all necessary repairs or
alterations to the Premises required to restore the Premises to useful condition. During such
repair or restoration, rental shall be abated proportionately as set forth above. Tenant hereby
waives any statutory rights of termination which may arise by reason of any taking of the
Premises under the power of eminent domain.
15.3 Award. Tenant hereby renounces any interest in, and assigns to
Landlord, any award made in any condemnation proceeding for any such taking, provided that
Landlord shall have no interest in or be assigned any award made to Tenant for the taking of
Tenant's Property or for Tenant's relocation expenses. Tenant hereby specifically waives any
right it may have to any compensation award representing the excess of the market value,
immediately before the taking, of Tenant's leasehold interest in the portion of the Premises
taken over the rent attributable thereto under the terms of this Lease.
ARTICLE 16
INDEMNIFICATION
Tenant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Landlord and its
agents, employees, officers, affiliates and representatives (collectively, "Landlord Parties")
from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, actions, causes of action (whether
legal, equitable or administrative), claims, judgments, costs, and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising as a direct or indirect consequence of any of the
following (except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord
or any of Landlord Parties): (i) Tenant's failure to perform any of Tenant's obligations as and
when required by this Lease, or the failure at any time of any representation or warranty of
Tenant to be true and correct; (ii) the use and operation of the Premises during the Term; or
(iii) any act or omission by Tenant or any of Tenant's contractors, subcontractors or material
suppliers, engineers, architects, agents, employees, customers or invitees with respect to the
Premises. Tenant shall employ counsel satisfactory to Landlord, or at Landlord's option,
Landlord may retain its own counsel, at the expense of Tenant, to prosecute, negotiate and
defend any such claim, action or cause of action. Landlord shall have the right to compromise
or settle any such claim, action, or cause of action without admitting actual liability and without
Tenant's consent. Tenant shall pay any indebtedness arising under said indemnity to Landlord
immediately upon demand by Landlord together with interest thereon, at the Remedy Rate,
from the date such indebtedness arises until paid. Tenant's obligations under this section shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 17
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
17.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall
constitute an event of default and a material breach of this Lease on the part of Tenant:
A. Abandonment or Failure to Continuously Operate. Tenant's
vacation or abandonment of the Premises or Tenant's failure to actively and continuously use,
operate and occupy the Premises.
B. Failure to Make Payment. Tenant's failure to pay any rent or
other sum due hereunder on the date when such payment is due, where such failure continues
for five (5) days after written notice of such failure from Landlord, or Tenant's failure on three
(3) occasions during any twelve (12) month period to timely pay rent on or before the due date
as provided for herein (even though subsequently cured).
C. Non-Permitted Use. Tenant's failure to comply with any
provision of this Lease relating to the Permitted Use, where such failure continues for ten (10)
days after written notice of such failure from Landlord.
D. Failure to Perform Other Covenants. Tenant's failure to perform
any of Tenant's other covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder, where such failure
continues for thirty {30) days after written notice of such failure from Landlord (provided,
however, if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot be reasonably cured within
a thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant diligently
commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure
said default), except if a different notice or cure period is specified in an.other provision of this
Lease.
E. Bankruptcy. The making of a general assignment for the benefit
of creditors by Tenant, or the filing of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy petition by or
against Tenant, or the appointment of a receiver to take possession of all or substantially all of
Tenant's assets or the Premises, or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of
substantially all of Tenant's assets or the Premises, or in the event Tenant becomes insolvent or
fails to generally pay Tenant's debts as such debts become due.
F. Transfer without Consent. The occurrence of any Transfer
without Landlord's express prior written consent.
17.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an event of default by Tenant as set
forth in Section 17.1 above, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies, in addition
to any and all other rights and remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, including
without limit those provided under California Civil Code Sections 1951.2 and 1951.4, as
amended or recodified from time to time:
-24 -
July 24, 2018 Item #1 Page 28 of 51
A. Terminate Lease. Landlord shall have the right to terminate this
Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder by giving written notice to Tenant. If this Lease is so
terminated, then Landlord may recover from Tenant: (i) the worth at the time of award of any
unpaid rent that had been earned at the time of such termination; ~ (ii) the worth at the
time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned from the
time of such termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss Tenant
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 Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; ~ (iv) any
other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the actual and consequential damages
proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform Tenant's obligations under this Lease or
which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom; and (v) at Landlord's
election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from
time to time by applicable California law. As used in Subsections (A)(i) and (ii) above, the
"worth at the time of award" is computed by allowing interest at the Remedy Rate. As used in
Subsection (A)(iii) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by discounting such
amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award
plus one percent (1%). All amounts owing under this Subsection which are not paid when due
shall bear interest at the Remedy Rate from the date owing until paid and such interest shall be
compounded monthly.
B. Reenter Premises. Landlord shall also have the right, with or
without terminating this Lease, to reenter the Premises and to remove all persons and Tenant's
Property from th.e Premises and store the Tenant's Property in a public warehouse or
elsewhere at.the cost of and for the account of Tenant.
C. Maintain Lease; Relet Premises. Landlord shall have the remedy
described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after
Tenant's breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right
to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Unless Landlord elects to terminate
this Lease as provided in Section 17.2(A) above, Landlord may from time to time, without
terminating this Lease, either recover all rent as it becomes due or relet the Premises or any
part thereof for such term or terms and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms
and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable, with the right to clean and
to make alterations and repairs to the Premises at Tenant's sole expense.
If Landlord elects to relet as provided herein, then rent received by Landlord
from such reletting shall be applied at Landlord's option: first, to the payment of any
indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment
of any cost of such reletting (including reasonable attorneys' fees, tenant improvements
customary to make the Premises ready to lease [including the removal of any specialized
improvements installed by Tenant], court costs and brokerage commissions); third, to the
payment of the cost of any cleaning, alterations and repairs to the Premises; fourth, to the
-25 -
July 24, 2018 Item #1 Page 29 of 51
payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the balance, if any, shall be applied in
payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. If the portion of
such rentals received from such reletting during any month which is applied to the payment of
rent under the reletting lease is less than the rent payable during that month by Tenant
hereunder, then Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord immediately upon demand by
Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated monthly and Tenant shall pay such deficiency
monthly. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, upon Landlord's demand, the costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord in such reletting, including attorneys' fees, court costs, tenant
improvements customary to make the Premises ready to lease (including the removal of any
specialized improvements installed by Tenant) and brokerage commissions and in making any
alterations and repairs to the Premises.
No reentry, acts of maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet, or taking
possession of the Premises by Landlord or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of
Landlord to protect Landlord's interest under this Lease shall be construed as an election to
terminate this Lease unless an express written notice of such intention is delivered to Tenant or
unless the termination thereof is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding any reletting of the Premises without termination of this Lease by Landlord,
Landlord may at any time after such reletting elect to terminate this Lease, in which case,
Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies provided by law or equity or this Lease upon
termination.
D. Performance by Landlord. If Tenant breaches or fails to perform
any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease and the breach or failure continues for thirty (30)
days (or· such shorter time period as may be specified otherwise in this Lease) after Landlord
gives Tenant written notice of the breach or failure, Landlord, without thereby waiving or
curing such may, but shall not be obligated to, perform any such obligation for the account and
at the expense of Tenant. Landlord may also so perform any such obligation without notice in
case of an emergency.
E. Receiver on Behalf of Landlord. If, at the instance of Landlord in
any action arising under this Lease, a receiver shall be appointed to take possession of the
Premises or to collect the rents derived therefrom, then the receiver may, if it shall be
necessary or convenient in order to collect such rents, conduct the business of Tenant then
being carried on in the Premises, and may take possession of any Tenant's Property and other
personal property and records used in Tenant's business and use the same in conducting such
business, without compensation to Tenant for such use. Neither application for, nor the
appointment of a receiver shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease,
unless express written notice of such election is given to Tenant. The fees and expenses of such
receiver shall be charged to Tenant as Additional Rent.
17.3 Late Charges. Landlord and Tenant agree that the fixing of actual
damages for Tenant's breach of any of the provisions of this Lease, including but not limited to
the late payment by Tenant to Landlord of rent and other amounts due hereunder, would cause
-26 -
July 24, 2018 Item #1 Page 30 of 51
Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which would be
extremely difficult or impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include but are not limited to,
accounting, processing, administrative, legal and clerical charges and late charges which may be
imposed upon Landlord by the terms of any Deed of Trust covering the Premises. Accordingly,
if any installment of rent or any other sum due from Tenant hereunder has not been received
by Landlord or Landlord's agent within ten (10) days after such amount was due, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of any such delinquent installment of
rent or any other delinquent sum due from Tenant. Tenant hereby agrees that said late charge
represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost Landlord will incur by reason of late
payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of
Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount nor prevent Landlord from exercising
any other rights and remedies provided for in this Lease, at law or in equity. If a late charge is
payable by Tenant whether or not collected, for three (3) installments of rent during any twelve
(12) month period, then the Base Rent shall automatically become due and payable to Landlord
quarterly in advance, notwithstanding any other provision ofthis Lease to the contrary.
17.4 Interest on Past Due Obligations. Any and all amounts not paid to
Landlord when due, shall bear interest, compounded monthly from the date due until paid at
the rate of ten percent (10%). Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by
Tenant under this Lease and shall not affect any rights and remedies provided to Landlord in
this Lease or at law or in equity, all of which shall be cumulative. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the City Manager of the City of Carlsbad shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to
waive for good cause any interest payment upon written application of Tenant for any such
delinquency period.
17.5 Waiver of Redemption. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all
rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant
being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of
the Premises by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this
Lease or otherwise. The rights given to Landlord herein are in addition to any rights that may
be given to Landlord by any statute or otherwise.
17.6 Guaranty. NA
17.7 Landlord's Default. Landlord shall in no event be charged with default in
the performance of any of its obligations hereunder unless and until Landlord shall have failed
to perform such obligations and such failure continues for more than thirty (30) days (or such
additional time as is reasonably necessary to correct any such failure) after Landlord's receipt of
written notice of such failure from Tenant.
ARTICLE 18
SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT
-27 -
July 24, 2018 Item #1 Page 31 of 51
18.1 Subordination. At Landlord's option, this Lease is and shall be
subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust and/or any other hypothecation or
security document and advances and obligations thereunder now or hereafter placed upon the
Premises, and any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions
thereof (collectively "Deed of Trust"). Such subordination shall be effective upon notice from
Landlord to Tenant without any further act of Tenant. Upon the request of Landlord, Tenant
shall, from time to time, execute and deliver any documents or instruments that may be
required by Landlord or the mortgagee, beneficiary, ground lessor or lender ("Landlord's
Lender") under any such Deed of Trust, to effectuate any subordination, provided that any such
Landlord's Lender agrees not to disturb Tenant's right to quiet possession under this Lease so
long as Tenant is not in default, or with notice or passage of time or both would not be in
default, under the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease. If Tenant fails to
execute and deliver any such documents or instruments, Tenant irrevocably constitutes and
appoints Landlord as Tenant's special attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute and
deliver any such documents or instruments. If Landlord's Lender elects to have this Lease prior
to the lien of its Deed of Trust, and gives written notice to Tenant of such election, this Lease
shall be deemed prior to such Deed of Trust regardless of the respective dates of execution,
delivery and recordation of this Lease and any such Deed of Trust.
18.2 Attornment. Tenant hereby attorns to and shall recognize the Landlord's
Lender as Tenant's landlord under this Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any
instrument that Landlord may require to evidence such attornment. Tenant hereby irrevocably
appoints Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute,
acknowledge and deliver the instrument of att~rnment on behalf of Tenant.
18.3 Estoppel Certificate. Upon the request of Landlord, Tenant at any time
and from time to time shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord, no later than ten
(10) business days after Landlord's request therefor, an estoppel certificate in any reasonable
form requested by Landlord ("Estoppel Certificate"). The Estoppel Certificate may be
conclusively relied upon by a prospective lender, purchaser, or encumbrancer of Landlord's
interest in the Premises. Failure to deliver the Estoppel Certificate within ten (10) days of such
request shall be conclusive upon Tenant that: (i) this Lease is in full force and effect; (ii) there
are no uncured defaults in Landlord's or Tenant's performance; (iii) not more than one month's
Base Rent has been paid in advance; and (iv) the Security Deposit is in an amount equal to that
specified in Article 1 hereof. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as its attorney-in-
fact, which agency is coupled with an interest, to execute any such Estoppel Certificate upon
Tenant's failure to do so within such ten (10) day period.
18.4 Rights of Landlord's Lender and Landlord's Purchaser. If any Landlord's
Lender or any purchaser of Landlord's interest in the Premises ("Landlord's Purchaser")
requires a modification of this Lease at any time, Tenant shall, at Landlord's request, promptly
execute and deliver to Landlord instruments effecting the modifications that the Landlord's
Lender or Landlord's Purchaser reasonably requires, provided that such modifications do not
increase the rent, reduce the size of the Premises or otherwise adversely affect in any material
-28 -
July 24, 2018 Item #1 Page 32 of 51
respect any of Tenant's rights under this Lease. If Landlord's Lender or Landlord's Purchaser
has given prior written notice to Tenant that it is the Landlord's Lender or Landlord's Purchaser
and such notice includes the address at which notices to such Landlord's Lender or Landlord's
Purchaser are to be sent, then Tenant shall give Landlord's Lender or Landlord's Purchaser, as
the case may be, written notice simultaneously with any notice given to Landlord to correct any
failure of Landlord to perform any of Landlord's obligations. Landlord's Lender and Landlord's
Purchaser shall have the right after receipt of said written notice to correct or remedy such
failure within a reasonable period of time. Any written notice of default given Landlord shall be
null and void unless simultaneous written notice has been given to Landlord's Lender and
Landlord's Purchaser.
18.5 Limitation of Liability. The covenants and agreements of Landlord under
this Lease shall not be binding upon any person at any time after the transfer of that person's
interest, as landlord, in the Premises. In the event of such a transfer, the covenants and
agreements of Landlord shall thereafter be binding upon the transferee of Landlord's interest.
ARTICLE 19
FORCE MAJEURE
If either party hereto shall be delayed in or prevented from the performance of
any act required hereunder by reason of acts of God, labor troubles, inability to procure
materials, restrictive governmental laws or regulations or other causes without fault and
beyond the control of the party obligated (financial inability excepted) (collectively, "Force
Majeure"), performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay and the period
for the performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of
such delay; provided, however, nothing in this Section shall delay the Rent Commencement
Date or excuse Tenant from the prompt payment of any rent or other charge required of
Tenant hereunder, except as may be expressly provided elsewhere in this Lease.
ARTICLE 20
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
20.1 Landlord's Consent. Tenant shall not voluntarily, involuntarily or by
operation of law assign, mortgage, sublet, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or encumber all or
any part of Tenant's interest in this Lease or in the Premises, or contract for the management or
operation of the whole or any part of the Premises, or permit the occupancy of any part of the
Premises by any other person or business entity, or permit transfer of this Lease by merger,
consolidation or dissolution (collectively "Transfer"), without first obtaining Landlord's express
written consent. No consent to any Transfer shall constitute a waiver of the provisions of this
Section. If Tenant is a partnership or limited liability company, a withdrawal or change,
voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, of any partner or member, or the dissolution of
the partnership or limited liability company, shall be deemed a Transfer requiring Landlord's
consent. If Tenant consists of more than one person or entity, a purported assignment,
voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, from one person to the other shall be deemed a
-29 -
July 24, 2018 Item #1 Page 33 of 51
Transfer requiring Landlord's consent. If Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger,
consolidation, or other reorganization of Tenant, or the sale or other transfer of twenty-five
percent {25%) or more of the capital stock of Tenant or the value of the assets of Tenant, shall
be deemed a Transfer requiring Landlord's consent. Landlord and Tenant agree (by way of
example and without limitation) that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent
to a Transfer if any of the following situations exist or may exist: (i) the proposed Transferee's
(as defined below) use of the Premises conflicts with or is different from the Permitted Use;
(ii) the proposed Transferee or its business is subject to compliance with additional
requirements of law beyond those requirements which are applicable to Tenant; (iii) in
Landlord's reasonable business judgment, the proposed Transferee lacks sufficient business
reputation or experience to operate a successful business of the type and quality permitted
under this Lease; (iv) Tenant is in default under this Lease; or (v) the present net worth of the
proposed Transferee is less than the greater of Tenant's net worth as of the date of this Lease
or Tenant's net worth at the date of Tenant's request for consent.
Any attempted or purported Transfer without Landlord's prior written consent
shall be void and of no force or effect, and shall not confer any estate or benefit on anyone. A
consent to one Transfer by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent
Transfer to any other party.
20.2 Request for Transfer. Tenant shall give Landlord at least sixty (60) days'
prior written notice of any requested Transfer and of the proposed terms of such Transfer
("Transfer Notice"), including but not limited to: (i) the name and legal composition of the
proposed assignee, sublessee, encumbrancer or transferee ("Transferee"); (ii) a current
financial statement of the proposed Transferee prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied; (iii) the portion of the Premises Tenant proposes to
Transfer (including square footage and location); and (iv) the nature of the proposed
Transferee's business to be carried on in the Premises. The foregoing terms shall be in
sufficient detail to enable Landlord to evaluate the proposed Transfer and the prospective
Transferee. Within thirty {30) days after receipt of the Transfer Notice, Landlord shall either
approve or disapprove of such Transfer; provided, however, that Landlord shall be deemed to
have disapproved the Transfer Notice if Landlord has not sent Tenant written notice of
Landlord's approval within such thirty (30) day period. Tenant shall immediately notify
Landlord of any modification to the proposed terms of such Transfer. Tenant shall also provide
to Landlord copies of the fully executed documents pertaining to the Transfer after the Transfer
has become effective. Whether or not Landlord consents to any proposed Transfer, Tenant
shall pay Landlord's review and processing fee in the amount of $500.00, as well as any
reasonable legal fees incurred by Landlord, within thirty {30) days after written request by
Landlord.
20.3 Landlord's Rights. Upon receipt of a Transfer Notice pursuant to
Section 20.2 above, Landlord shall have the right to: (i) withhold its consent to such Transfer, as
permitted pursuant to Section 20.1 above; (ii) terminate this Lease as it relates to the portion of
the Premises described in the Transfer Notice and recapture such portion of the Premises,
-30 -
July 24, 2018 Item #1 Page 34 of 51
effective automatically as of the date of dispatch of a notice of termination from Landlord to
Tenant, which notice may be sent at any time within thirty (30} days following Landlord's
refusal to consent to the Transfer; (iii) sublet or receive an assignment of all or a portion of the
Premises from Tenant at the lower of the rental specified in this Lease or in Tenant's Notice; or
(iv) impose any of the following as conditions to Landlord's consent: (a) that all rents paid by
the Transferee to Tenant in excess of the Base Rent be paid to Landlord; or (b) that any
Guarantor of this Lease reaffirms its guaranty; or (c) that either Tenant or the proposed
Transferee cure, on or before the proposed effective date of such Transfer, any and all uncured
defaults hereunder; provided, however, in no event shall Landlord's failure to condition its
consent upon such cure be deemed to be a waiver of any such default or of Landlord's rights
and remedies under this Lease or under law or in equity in regard thereto. If Landlord has
elected to impose such a cure as a condition to its consent and such condition is not satisfied by
the effective date of the Transfer, then the Transfer shall be voidable at Landlord's option.
Landlord shall also have the right to condition Landlord's consent to any Transfer upon Tenant's
and the Transferee's executing a written assumption agreement, in a form approved by
Landlord. The assumption agreement shall require the Transferee to expressly assume all
obligations of Tenant under this Lease and shall require Tenant and Transferee to be and
remain jointly and severally liable for the performance of all conditions, covenants, and
obligations under this Lease from the effective date of the Transfer of Tenant's interest in this
Lease. Regardless of Landlord's consent to any Transfer, no Transfer shall release Tenant of
Tenant's obligation or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay rent and to perform all other
obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from
any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof.
These rights are in addition to Landlord's right to withhold its consent to any Transfer, and may
be exercised by Landlord in its sole discretion without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any
other right or remedy at law or in equity which Landlord may have by reason of such Transfer.
In the event of default by any Transferee, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant
