Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Ratification of the First
Extension Term and Grant the City Manager Authority to Execute
Future Extensions of the Lease Agreement with Terracare Associates,
Inc. for a Park Maintenance Building Located Within Aviara Community
Park
Recommended Action
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the ratification of the first
extension term and granting the City Manager authority to execute future extensions of the
Lease Agreement with Terracare Associates, Inc. for a park maintenance building located within
Aviara Community Park.
Executive Summary
In July of 2015, Terracare Associates, Inc. ("Terracare") entered into a contract to provide parks
maintenance service for the Carlsbad Parks & Recreation Department. In November of 2015,
the City Council authorized a one-year lease agreement ("Lease Agreement") with Terracare to
house their personnel and staff in a parks maintenance building located at Aviara Community
Park. The Lease Agreement included four options to extend the lease term for a period of one
year each. The first term of the Lease Agreement expired July 31, 2016, and Terracare has
requested to exercise the first one year extension term option.
Discussion
The Lease Agreement is for a 6,875 square foot parks maintenance building located at 6440
Ambrosia Lane within the Aviara Community Park. On July 14, 2015, the City Council authorized
a contract agreement with Terracare for the maintenance of community parks and school
athletic fields. The contract agreement is for an initial term of two years with two additional
two-year extensions permitted. Terracare is headquartered in Colorado with several branches
located in Northern California, and with the new contract agreement in Carlsbad, Terracare
required a location for a local branch, including personnel, office and storage space for vehicles,
equipment, and supplies. On November 17, 2015, the City Council authorized the City Manager
to execute the initial Lease Agreement with Terracare, retroactive to August 1, 2015. The first
term of the Lease Agreement expired July 31, 2016, and Terracare has requested, in a timely
manner, to exercise the first extension term option. Pursuant to the terms of the initial Lease
Agreement, the City Council is being asked to authorize the City Manager to execute the
ratification of the first one year extension term and to also grant the City Manager the authority
to execute the three remaining future one year lease extension terms.
Item #5 August 23, 2016 Page 1 of 31
Fiscal Analysis
With approval of the one year lease extension term, the city will receive monthly revenue of
$1,545 per month for the lease of the building, plus an additional $150 per month to cover
utilities. This lease rate represents 103 percent of the initial lease year's rent, per Paragraph
3.2(a) of the Lease Agreement.
Next Steps
Terracare has occupied the maintenance building since August 2015 pursuant to the Lease
Agreement, and now desires to exercise their first one year extension term. The three
remaining future one year lease extension terms will now need to be authorized by the City
Manager and, if authorized, the lease rate will increase by three percent over the previous
lease year's rent rate with each one year extension term authorized.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
The proposed action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State
CEQA guidelines 15301 -Existing Facilities -leasing of existing public structures and facilities
involving negligible or no expansion of use.

ARTICLE 2
PREMISES
2.1 Lease of Premises. Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant hires from Landlord
the Premises described in Article 1 for the Term (as defined in Article 3 below) and pursuant to all of the
terms, covenants and conditions contained herein. Any statement of square footage set forth in this
Lease, or that may have been used in calculating Rent, is an approximation which Landlord and Tenant
agree is reasonable and the 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
- 2 -
Item #5 August 23, 2016 Page 8 of 31
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 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 Rent for the first (1 5 t) 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 unable to obtain possession of the Premises because one (1) or more of the above
items are not received by Landlord, the Opening Date (as hereinafter defined), the Term Commencement
Date, Tenant's Completion Date (as hereinafter defined) and the Rent Commencement Date shall not be
affected or delayed thereby.
2.4 Easements. Landlord reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to grant such
easements, rights and dedications affecting all or any part of the Premises as Landlord deems necessary
or desirable, and to cause the recordation of parcel and subdivision 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.
ARTICLE 3
TERM
3.1 Term. The Term of the Lease ("Term") shall commence on the Term
Commencement Date and shall expire, unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Lease, on the
Expiration Date.
3.2 Extension Option. At its sole discretion, Landlord may grant to the Tenant
originally named in this Lease ("Original Tenant") four (4) options to extend the Term for a period of one
(1) year 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 sixty (60) days
prior to the commencement of the applicable Extension Term, but not more than ninety (90) 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. If Tenant fails to
deliver Tenant's Extension 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, 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 Rent shall be adjusted as follows:
(a) Rent for the first twelve (12) months of the Extension Term shall be one
hundred three percent (103%) of the monthly Rent applicable immediately prior to the commencement of
the Extension Term, and Rent shall increase every twelve (12) full calendar months thereafter by three
percent (3% ).
-3 -
Item #5 August 23, 2016 Page 9 of 31
3.3 Early Termination. Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease by first
giving thirty (30) days written notice to the Landlord.
3.4 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, Tenant shall not remove (unless requested to by Landlord, in
which case Tenant shall remove) all 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.
3.5 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 3.4 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.
3.6 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
SECURITY DEPOSIT
4.1 Security Deposit. Concurrently with Tenant's execution of this Lease, Tenant
shall deposit with Landlord the security deposit specified in Article 1 ("Security Deposit"). Landlord shall
hold the Security Deposit as security for Tenant's faithful performance of all the terms, covenants, and
conditions of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from
Landlord's general funds. Landlord shall have the right to commingle the Security Deposit with Landlord's
general funds and to retain any and all interest and earnings on the Security Deposit. Tenant shall not be
entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit. Subject to Landlord's right hereunder to apply the
Security Deposit in accordance with this Section, the parties acknowledge that the Security Deposit does
not cover any rent hereunder. In the event of a sale of the Premises or assignment of this Lease by
Landlord to any person other than a mortgagee, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the Security
Deposit to its vendee or assignee, subject to Tenant's aforesaid rights upon termination, and thereupon
Landlord shall be released and relieved from any liability with respect to the return of such Security
Deposit to Tenant, such vendee or assignee to be solely responsible to Tenant therefor.
-4 -
Item #5 August 23, 2016 Page 10 of 31
4.2 Use of Security Deposit. If Tenant breaches or fails to perform any of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to use or retain all or
any part of the Security Deposit to cure the breach or failure of performance, and to compensate Landlord
for any damages sustained by Landlord, including but not limited to payment of: (i) delinquent rent;
(ii) interest on delinquent rent; (iii) late charges on delinquent rent; (iv) the cost of performing any of
Tenant's obligations under this Lease; (v) the cost of repairing damages to the Premises; (vi) the cost of
cleaning, maintaining, repairing, restoring or reletting the Premises; (vii) attorneys' and accountants' fees
and disbursements and court costs; (viii) brokerage commissions and finders' fees; and (ix) interest on
any and all of the above at the maximum lawful rate ("Remedy Rate") from the date due until paid;
provided, however, that retention of all or any part of the Security Deposit shall not affect Tenant's
obligations under this Lease or Landlord's other rights and remedies provided at law, in equity, or under
this Lease; and provided, further, that in the event that Landlord elects to apply the Security Deposit or
any portion thereof as herein provided, such application and the amounts applied to particular items of
cure and/or compensation shall be determined by Landlord in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. If
any portion of the Security Deposit is used as provided for in this Section, then within 1 O days after written
demand by Landlord, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord sufficient cash to restore the Security Deposit to
its original amount. Tenant's failure to make this deposit shall be a default under this Lease.
4.3 Refund and Transfer; Waiver of Statutes. If Tenant shall have fully and
faithfully performed all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease (or upon the earlier termination without
Tenant's fault), has cleaned and repaired any damage, and has received invoices for such repair or
cleaning costs, if any, and after Landlord has inspected the Premises, then Landlord shall return the
Security Deposit or any balance thereof to Tenant. Landlord may transfer the Security Deposit, or that
portion remaining after any deduction, to Landlord's successor-in-interest and shall upon such transfer be
discharged from any further liability with respect to such Security Deposit. Tenant hereby waives (i)
California Civil Code Section 1950.7, as amended or recodified from time to time, and any and all other
laws, rules and regulations, now or hereafter in force, applicable to security deposits in the commercial
context ("Security Deposit Laws"), and (ii) any and all rights, duties and obligations Landlord may now
or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, the Security Deposit may be retained and applied by Landlord (a) to
offset rent which is unpaid either before or after the termination of this Lease, and (b) against other
damages suffered by Landlord before or after the termination of this Lease, whether foreseeable or
unforeseeable, caused by the act or omission of Tenant or any officer, employee, agent or invitee of
Tenant.
ARTICLE 5

5.1 Real Estate Taxes. Tenant shall pay directly prior to delinquency any and all real
estate taxes, assessments (whether general, special, ordinary or extraordinary), possessory interest
taxes, improvement bonds, license fees, commercial rental taxes, sewer and water rents and other levies,
fees and charges of every kind imposed by any authority having the direct or indirect power to so tax, levy
or assess, to the extent relating to the Premises, to Landlord's gross receipts or revenues from the
Premises, or to the business or other activities of Tenant upon or in connection with the Premises. In
particular, Tenant acknowledges that this Lease may result in a taxable possessory interest. Tenant shall
be solely responsible for payment of property taxes associated with its occupancy of the Premises, if any
apply. Tenant shall also pay any fees imposed by law for licenses or permits for any business or activities
of Tenant upon the Premises or under this Lease.

Commencement Date and continuously thereafter throughout the Term, directly to the supplier of such
utilities and services. Tenant shall pay landlord $150 per month for use of alarm services, electric and

alterations or to protect the Premises. In no event shall Landlord be liable for the quality, quantity, failure
or interruption of any such utilities or services to the Premises. In addition, any such failure, interruption or
impairment shall not be construed as an eviction of Tenant or a disturbance of Tenant's possession, and
Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement of rent.
ARTICLE 7
INSURANCE

the Term Commencement Date and continuously thereafter until the termination or expiration of this

such insurance stands primary or secondary. If Tenant carries any of the insurance required hereunder
in the form of a blanket policy, any certificate required hereunder shall make specific reference to the
Premises. The procuring of policies of insurance shall not be construed to limit Tenant's liability hereunder
in any way, nor to fulfill the indemnification provisions and requirements of this Lease. Tenant agrees not
to use the Premises in any manner, even if use is for purposes stated herein, that will result in the
cancellation of any insurance Landlord may have on the Premises, or on adjacent premises, or that will
cause cancellation of any other insurance coverage for the Premises, or adjoining premises. Tenant
further agrees not to keep on the Premises or permit to be kept, used, or sold thereon, anything
prohibited by any fire or other insurance policy covering the Premises. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and
expense, comply with any and all requirements, in regard to Premises, of any insurance organization

injury, death and property damage liability. If the submitted policies contain aggregate limits, general
aggregate limits will apply separately under this Lease or the general aggregate will be twice the required
per occurrence limits. Liability coverage for the required limits may be obtained with a combination of
commercial general liability insurance and an umbrella policy.
7.3 Property and Extended Coverage Insurance. Tenant shall obtain and keep in

thereto and twelve (12) months' business income (business interruption) insurance rider or endorsement
attached thereto. Tenant shall keep in force a policy of plate glass insurance covering all plate glass in
the Premises in an amount equal to the full replacement cost thereof. The deductibles on such policies
shall not exceed $1,000.00 per occurrence. The proceeds from any such insurance shall be used by
Tenant for the replacement of personal property and trade fixtures as well as alterations and utility
installations.

or with respect to the Premises, affording applicable statutory limits for workers' compensation coverage

herein, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any rights each may have against the other on account of any
loss or damage occasioned to Landlord or Tenant, their respective property, the Premises or its contents,
arising from any risk to the extent covered by the insurance required hereunder. The parties each, on
behalf of their respective insurance companies insuring the property of either Landlord or Tenant against
any such loss, waive any right of subrogation that it may have against Landlord or Tenant, as the case
may be. Each party shall obtain any special endorsements, if required by its insurer, whereby the insurer
waives its rights of subrogation against the other party. The foregoing waivers of subrogation shall be
operative only so long as available without invalidating either Landlord's or Tenant's policy of insurance.
7.7 Coverage Changes. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Landlord shall retain
the right at any time to review the coverage, form, and amount of the insurance required under this
Lease. If, in the opinion of Landlord, the insurance provisions in this Lease do not provide adequate
protection for Landlord and/or for members of the public using the Premises, Landlord may require
Tenant to obtain insurance sufficient in coverage, form and amount to provide adequate protection.
Landlord's requirements shall be reasonable but shall be designed to assure protection from and against
the kind and extent of risk, which exist at the time a change in insurance is required. Landlord shall notify
Tenant in writing of changes in the insurance requirements and, if Tenant does not deposit
certificates/endorsements evidencing acceptable insurance policies with Landlord incorporating such
changes within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, this Lease shall be in default without further
notice to Tenant, and Landlord shall be entitled to all legal remedies.

further provided in Section 2.2 above, and Tenant expressly waives all implied warranties including

regulations of governmental agencies or authorities. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage, loss, or
prejudice suffered or claimed by Tenant, its agents or any other person or entity on account of: (a) the

enforcement or failure to enforce any of the covenants, conditions and restrictions contained in this
Lease. Under no circumstances shall Tenant make any roof penetrations without the prior written
consent of Landlord. Any consent of Landlord shall be conditioned upon Landlord's review and approval
of plans satisfactory to Landlord for the repair of the roof. Any roof penetrations may be inspected by
Landlord's roofing contractor, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such inspection and
any necessary repair work within ten ( 10) days after Tenant's receipt of an invoice therefor.

free and clear of all mechanics' liens and all other liens. Tenant shall give Landlord immediate written
notice of any lien filed against the Premises or any interest therein related to or arising from work
performed by or for Tenant. Tenant shall give Landlord not less than ten (10) days' prior written notice of
the commencement of any Tenant Improvements in the Premises, and Landlord shall have the right to
post notices of nonresponsibility in or upon the Premises as provided by law. If any lien or levy of any

request, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a corporate surety bond, satisfactory to Landlord, in an amount
equal to one and one-half (1 ~) times the amount of the claims upon which such lien or levy has been
filed. Such bond shall be acknowledged by Tenant as principal and by a corporation, licensed by the
Insurance Commissioner of the State of California to transact the business of a fidelity and surety
insurance company, as surety. Landlord shall have the right to declare this Lease in default in the event
the bond required by this paragraph has not been deposited with Landlord within ten (10) days after

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

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

security interest in Tenant's Property.

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

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 the 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 13
EMINENT DOMAIN
13.1 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.
13.2 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 the 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 the Lease, then: (i) the 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
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.
13.3 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 14
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.

15.1 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. Tenant's vacation or abandonment of 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

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 another 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.
15.2 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:
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 the 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; .ill!:!.§ (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; plus (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;
2l.!!§ (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
-13 -
Item #5 August 23, 2016 Page 19 of 31
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 the
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 lessee's
breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee 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 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 the 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
-14 -
Item #5 August 23, 2016 Page 20 of 31
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.
15.3 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 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 of this Lease to the contrary.
15.4 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.
15.5 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.
15.6 Guaranty. Landlord's obligations under this Lease are conditioned upon
Landlord's receipt of a guaranty of Tenant's obligations under this Lease in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit D (the "Guaranty") executed by the Guarantor identified in Article 1 above, and if Guarantor is
married, with the "Spousal Consent" executed by Guarantor's spouse.
15. 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.

SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT
16.1 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
-15 -
Item #5 August 23, 2016 Page 21 of 31
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.
16.2 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
attornment on behalf of Tenant
16.3 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-
tact, 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.
16.4 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 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 Land lord'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.
16.5 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 17
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
-16 -
Item #5 August 23, 2016 Page 22 of 31
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 18
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
18.1 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 the 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 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.
18.2 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.
-17 -
Item #5 August 23, 2016 Page 23 of 31
18.3 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 the Lease as it relates to the portion of the Premises described in the
Transfer Notice and recapture such portion of the Premises, 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
without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said Transferee. Tenant expressly agrees that the
provisions of this Article are not unreasonable standards or conditions for purposes of
Section 1951.4(b)(2) of the California Civil Code, as amended or recodified from time to time.
ARTICLE 19
NOTICES
All notices given under this Lease shall be in writing and shall be given or served either
personally or by depositing the same by United States registered or certified mail postage prepaid, return
receipt requested, or by a nationally-recognized overnight delivery courier, addressed to the applicable
Address for Notices specified in Article 1. Notice shall be deemed to have been given (a) on the delivery
date indicated by the United States Postal Service on the return receipt or by the courier or on the date
such delivery is refused or deemed "undeliverable," or (b) on the date of personal delivery. Either party
may change its address for notices by providing written notice as specified herein; provided, however,
that all addresses provided must be an actual street address located in the United States of America.
ARTICLE 20
AUTHORITY
If Tenant is a corporation, trust, general or limited partnership or limited liability company,
each individual executing this Lease on behalf of such entity represents and warrants that he or she is
duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of said entity. If Tenant is a corporation, trust,
partnership, or limited liability company, Tenant shall, simultaneously with execution of this Lease, deliver
to Landlord written evidence of such authority satisfactory to Landlord.
ARTICLE 21
QUIET ENJOYMENT
-18 -
Item #5 August 23, 2016 Page 24 of 31
Tenant, upon keeping, observing and performing all of the covenants and agreements of
this Lease on its part to be kept, observed, and performed, shall lawfully and quietly hold, occupy and
enjoy the Premises during the Term of this Lease.
ARTICLE 22
ATTORNEYS' FEES
Should either party commence an action or arbitration against the other to enforce any
obligation hereunder, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover the costs thereof and reasonable
attorneys' fees actually incurred by such prevailing party (including the fees and charges of legal
assistants or other non-attorney personnel performing services under the supervision of an attorney),
whether or not such litigation is prosecuted to judgment.
ARTICLE 23
WAIVER
Any waiver by Landlord of any breach by Tenant of any one or more of the covenants,
conditions, or agreements of this Lease shall not be nor be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent
or other breach of the same or any other covenant, condition or agreement of this Lease, nor shall any
failure on the part of Landlord to require or exact full and complete compliance by Tenant with any of the
covenants, conditions, or agreements of this Lease be construed as in any manner changing the terms
hereof or to prevent Landlord from enforcing the full provisions hereof. Landlord's acceptance of any
payment which is less than that required to be paid by Tenant shall be deemed to have been received
only on account of the obligation for which it is paid and shall not be deemed an accord and satisfaction,
notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary asserted by Tenant, written on any check or contained in
any transmittal letter. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to
be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term or covenant hereof, other than the failure of
Tenant to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding
breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. An express waiver must be in writing and signed by a
person with the power to contractually bind Tenant or Landlord. An express waiver shall affect only the
default specified in the waiver, and only for the time and to the extent expressly stated.
ARTICLE 24
LIMITATION ON CLAIMS
Any claim, demand, right or defense of any kind by Tenant, which is based upon, arising
in connection with or in any way related to this Lease or the negotiations prior to its execution, shall be
barred unless Tenant commences an action thereon, or interposes in a legal proceeding a defense by
reason thereof, within twelve (12) months after the date of the inaction or omission or the date of the
occurrence of the event or of the action to which the claim, demand, right or defense relates, whichever
applies.
ARTICLE25
INTERPRETATION AND APPLICATION
25.1 Submission of Lease. Submission of this instrument for examination or
signature by Tenant does not constitute an offer, a reservation of, option for or option to lease, and it is
not effective as a lease or otherwise until execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant.
25.2 Governing Law. This Lease shall be construed in accordance with and governed
by the statutes, decisions, and other laws of the State of California. Tenant expressly agrees that any
and all disputes arising out of or in connection with this Lease shall be litigated only in the Superior Court
of the State of California for San Diego County, and Tenant hereby consents to the jurisdiction of said
court.
-19 -
Item #5 August 23, 2016 Page 25 of 31
25.3 Complete Agreement. This Lease contains all terms, covenants, conditions,
warranties and agreements of the parties relating in any manner to the rental, use and occupancy of the

effect.
25.4 Amendment. This Lease may not be amended, altered or modified in any way
except in writing signed by the parties hereto.
25.5 No Partnership. It is agreed that nothing contained in this Lease shall be
deemed or construed as creating a partnership or joint venture between Landlord and Tenant or between
Landlord and any other party, or cause Landlord to be responsible in any way for the debts or obligations
of Tenant or any other party.
25.6 No Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual
cancellation thereof, shall not work as a merger, but shall, at the option of Landlord, either terminate all or
any existing subleases or subtenancies, or operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all such
subleases or subtenancies.
25.7 Severability. If any provision of this Lease or application thereof to any person or
circumstances shall to any extent be invalid, the remainder of this Lease (including the application of such
provision to persons or circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid) shall not be affected
thereby, and each provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by
law.
25.8 Captions. The captions of the Articles and Sections hereof are for convenience
only and are not a part of this Lease and do not in any way limit or amplify the terms and provisions of this
Lease.
25.9 Words. The words "Landlord" and "Tenant", as used herein, shall include the
plural as well as the singular. Words used in the neuter gender include the masculine and feminine.
25.10 Joint and Several Liability. If either party is comprised of more than one
individual or entity, the obligations imposed upon such party hereunder shall be joint and several to all
parties signing this Lease as such party.

reference and made a part hereof, and any reference in the body of this Lease or in the exhibits to the
"Lease" shall mean this Lease together with all exhibits.
ARTICLE 26
MISCELLANEOUS
26.1 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of each and all of the terms and
provisions of this Lease.
26.2 Successors. Subject to the restrictions on Transfers contained in this Lease, all
the terms, covenants and conditions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
26.3 Recordation; Quitclaim. Tenant shall not record this Lease or any memorandum
hereof. Landlord has the right in its absolute discretion to record this Lease or a memorandum hereof,
and, upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall execute and have acknowledged the same for recordation.
Upon termination of this Lease for any reason, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand therefor a good and sufficient deed
whereby all right, title and interest of Tenant in the Premises is quitclaimed to Landlord. If Tenant fails to
deliver the required deed to Landlord, Landlord may prepare and record a notice reciting the failure of
-20 -
Item #5 August 23, 2016 Page 26 of 31
Tenant to execute, acknowledge and deliver such deed and said notice shall be conclusive evidence of
the termination of this Lease and of all right of Tenant or those claiming under Tenant in and to the
Premises.
26.4 Limitation of Liability. It is expressly understood and agreed that
notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, and notwithstanding any applicable law to the
contrary, the liability of Landlord hereunder (including any successor landlord) and any recourse by
Tenant against Landlord shall be limited solely and exclusively to Landlord's interest in the Premises,
including the income and profits from the Premises, and neither Landlord, nor any of its officers,
employees, affiliates, managers or agents shall have any personal liability therefor, and Tenant hereby
expressly waives and releases such personal liability on behalf of itself and all persons claiming by,
through or under Tenant. The limitations of liability provided in this Section are in addition to, and not in
limitation of, any limitation on liability applicable to Landlord provided by law or in any other contract,
agreement or instrument. Under no circumstances shall Landlord be liable for punitive or special
damages, indirect damages or other consequential damages, including without limitation, injury to
Tenant's business or for any loss of income or profit therefrom. In the event of any transfer of Landlord's
interest in this Lease, the Landlord herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfer, the then
transferor) shall be automatically freed and relieved from and after the date of such transfer of all liability
for the performance of any covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord contained in this Lease
thereafter to be performed; provided, however, that any funds in the hands of Landlord or the then
transferor at the time of such transfer, in which Tenant has an interest shall be turned over to the
transferee and any amount then due and payable to Tenant by Landlord or the then transferor under any
provision of this Lease shall be paid to Tenant; and provided, further, that upon any such transfer, the
transferee shall expressly assume, subject to the limitations of this Section, all of the agreements,
covenants and conditions in this Lease to be performed on the part of Landlord, it being intended hereby
that the covenants and obligations contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord shall be binding on
each Landlord, its successors and assigns, only during its period of ownership.
26.5 Broker. Except for any Broker(s) specified in Article 1 of this Lease, Landlord and
Tenant each represents and warrants to the other that it has not retained the services of or had any
dealings with any other broker, finder or real estate licensee and owes no other person or entity any
finder's or broker's fee, commission or payment of any kind whatsoever. Landlord and Tenant each shall
indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the other from and against all liability for compensation or
charges which may be claimed by any such broker, finder or other similar party by reason of any dealings
or actions of the indemnifying party, including (without limitation) any costs, expenses or attorney's fees
reasonably incurred with respect thereto.
26.6 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in any number of counterparts each
of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same Lease with the
