Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) in the event that Landlord cannot obtain a permanent, temporary or conditional certificate of occupancy, or the Project Architect cannot make the statement described above, in any event due to the failure to complete any work that is not the obligation of Landlord to perform, the permanent, temporary or conditional certificate of occupancy or the statement from the Project Architect, as applicable, shall be deemed to have been received by Tenant, and Substantial Completion shall be deemed to have occurred on the date that the permanent, temporary or conditional certificate of occupancy or statement from the Project Architect would have been issued but for the fact that work that is not the obligation of Landlord to perform is not complete, and (b) in the event that Landlord does not receive a permanent, temporary or conditional certificate of occupancy, or the Project Architect cannot make the statement described above due to a Tenant Delay (as defined in Section 1.1.GG below), the permanent, temporary or conditional certificate of occupancy, or the statement from the Project Architect, shall be deemed to have been issued, and Substantial Completion shall be deemed to have occurred, on the date that the permanent, temporary or conditional certificate of occupancy or statement from the Project Architect would have been issued but for the Tenant Delay.

to Tenant specifying the action or inaction that Landlord contends constitutes a Tenant Delay.

ARTICLE II – PREMISES

Section 2.1.    Lease. Landlord, for and in consideration of the rents herein reserved and of the covenants and agreements herein contained on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed and performed, does by these presents, lease to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the land (“Land”) legally described on Exhibit C attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein and the Initial Improvements, including, but not limited to the building (“Building”) to be constructed on the Land. The Land, Initial Improvements and any other improvements hereafter constructed on the Land are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Premises” or the “Project”.

Section 2.2.    Measurement of Premises. On or before Substantial Completion Date, Landlord shall cause the Project Architect to measure the gross square footage of the Building (“Square Footage of the Building”). For purposes of this Lease, gross square footage of the Building shall mean gross area of the Building calculated in accordance with the BOMA International, Industrial Buildings: Standard Methods of Measurement, ANSI Z65.2-2012, Method A (“Architect’s Determination”). The square footage of any second floor office space that Tenant elects to build shall not be included in the Square Footage of the Building. If Tenant shall dispute Architect’s Determination (which dispute shall be based solely upon whether Architect has accurately measured the gross area and determined the gross square footage in

 

  5   Manteca, CA


accordance with the foregoing standards), Tenant may contest Architect’s Determination by sending Landlord a written notice (“Contest Notice”) within seven (7) days following Tenant’s receipt of Architect’s Determination. If Tenant does not send the Contest Notice within such time period, Architect’s Determination shall be final and binding on Tenant and the amount of the Base Rent and Landlord’s Contribution shall be amended to reflect Architect’s Determination. If Tenant sends the Contest Notice within the time period set forth above, then within seven (7) days of Landlord’s receipt of the Contest Notice from Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall jointly appoint an architect (the “Neutral”) to field measure the gross area of the Building in accordance with the BOMA Standard and calculate of the gross square footage, and in such event the amount of the Base Rent and Landlord’s Contribution shall be amended accordingly, based on such field measurements by the Neutral. The Neutral must be an architect with ten (10) years of experience and familiar with BOMA definitions and the BOMA Standard. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon a Neutral within such 7-day period, then either party may, upon at least five (5) days’ prior written notice to the other party, request the Presiding Judge of and for the San Joaquin Superior Court, acting in his private and nonjudicial capacity, to appoint a neutral (who shall meet the criteria set forth in hereinabove). If the determination by the Neutral is within plus or minus three percent (3%) of the Architect’s Determination, the cost of the Neutral shall be paid by Tenant. If the determination by the Neutral is not within plus or minus three percent (3%) of the Architect’s Determination the cost of the Neutral shall be paid by Landlord.

Section 2.3.    Restrictions. The Premises is or will be part of a larger commercial and industrial development commonly known as CenterPoint Intermodal (“Park”) and is or will be subject to a Declaration of Protective Covenants, Restrictions and Easements approved by Tenant (the “Declaration”). Among other matters, the Declaration provides for and requires the payment of a proportionate share of certain costs and reserves for the operation, maintenance, repair and improvement of the Park. The Premises is leased to Tenant subject to covenants, conditions, agreements, easements, encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Declaration and the covenants, conditions, agreements, easements and restrictions affecting the Premises described on Exhibit “D” attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein (collectively, with the Declaration, the “Restrictions”). The lease of the Premises is subject to, and Tenant shall at all times during the Term comply with all Restrictions. During the Term of this Lease, Landlord agrees not to amend or modify the Restrictions, in any manner which would: (i) materially diminish the rights or increase the obligations of Tenant thereunder or under this Lease, (ii) affect Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises in any materially adverse manner or (iii) terminate the Restrictions.

ARTICLE III – TERM

Section 3.1.    Term. The Term shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall end on the Termination Date, subject to any extension of the Term or earlier termination of the Lease pursuant to any provision of this Lease.

Section 3.2.    Memorandum of Lease Term. At any time after Substantial Completion, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an instrument acknowledging the actual Commencement Date and Termination Date, the dates and Base Rent to be paid for each period during the Term and other such terms reasonably requested by Landlord, at the request of either Landlord or Tenant.

Section 3.3.    Options to Extend.

A.    Grant and Exercise of Option. Provided that Tenant is not in default in the payment of Rent or no material Event of Default (as defined in Section 20.1) has occurred, Tenant shall have the option (“Extension Option”) to extend the Lease Term for two (2) additional periods of seven (7) years each (each an “Extension Term”). Each Extension Term shall be upon the same terms and conditions contained in the Lease except (x) the provision giving two (2) extension options shall be amended to reflect only the remaining option to extend, if any, (y) any rent abatements or

 

  6   Manteca, CA


other concessions applicable to the Leased Premises under this Lease shall not apply to the Extension Term, and (z) the Base Rent shall be adjusted as set forth below (the “Base Rent Modification”). Tenant shall exercise each option by delivering written notice (“Tenant’s Interest Notice”) to Landlord, no earlier than eighteen (18) months prior to the expiration of the then existing Term and no later than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the then existing Term. Tenant’s failure to timely deliver Tenant’s Interest Notice shall be deemed a waiver of such option.

B.    Base Rent Modification Determination. Within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Interest Notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the amount of the Base Rent Modification. Tenant shall have thirty (30) days following its receipt of Landlord’s notice (a) accept Landlord’s determination of the Base Rent Modification; or (b) to notify Landlord in writing that Tenant objects to the Base Rent Modification and that Tenant elects to determine the Base Rent Modification through an appraisal process. If Tenant elects to determine the Base Rent Modification through an appraisal process, the Base Rent Modification shall be determined in accordance with the appraisal process set forth in subsection D below. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord of such election within said thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected option (a) herein above.

C.    Rent Adjustment. In the event that Tenant elects option (b) in subsection B above, the minimum annual Base Rent for the Extension Term shall be an amount equal to the Base Rent then being quoted on comparable buildings (e.g., buildings of comparable age, physical condition, number of stories, total size, comparable location in an intermodal center) in the Central Valley, Tracy, Lathrop and Manteca markets, taking into account all relevant factors affecting rental rates applicable to any comparison transaction, including without limitation, base rent, rent concessions, free rent, tenant improvements, operating expense provisions, annual escalation, the size of the transaction, location within the Building, signage, tenant improvement finish, location, quality of the Premises, and absence and/or inclusion of any brokerage commissions. The monthly Base Rent shall be an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual Base Rent for the Extension Term and shall be paid at the same time and in the same manner as provided in the Lease.

D.    Appraisal Process. In the event that Tenant elects option (b) in subsection B above, the Base Rent Modification shall be determined as follows:

(1)    Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon the Base Rent Modification, using their best good-faith efforts and in accordance with the provisions of subsection C above. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within ten (10) business days following Tenant’s objection to the Base Rent Modification (the “Outside Agreement Date”), then each party shall submit to the other party a separate written determination of the Base Rent Modification in accordance with the provisions of subsection C above within ten (10) business days after the Outside Agreement Date. Failure of Tenant or Landlord to submit a written determination of the Base Rent Modification within such 10-business day period shall conclusively be deemed to be the non-determining party’s approval of the Base Rent Modification submitted within such 10-business day period by the other party If the two (2) determinations differ, then such determinations shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with clauses (2) through (3) below. If Landlord’s and Tenant’s determinations do not differ by an amount in excess of three percent (3%), the two determinations shall be averaged and the resulting figure shall be conclusively deemed to be the Base Rent Modification. If the two (2) determinations differ by an amount in excess of three percent (3%), then such determinations shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with clauses (2) through (3) below.

 

  7   Manteca, CA


(2)    Selection of Appraisers. Landlord and Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days after Outside Agreement Date, each select an appraiser to determine the Base Rent Modification for the Premises. Each appraiser so selected shall hold an MAI designation from and is a member of the Appraisal Institute (i.e., the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (AIREA) and the Society of Real Estate Appraisers (Society) unified in January 1991) and who shall have been active over the ten (10) year period ending on the date of such appointment in appraising similar rental properties in of comparable space in the Central Valley, Tracy, Lathrop and Manteca markets and with a working knowledge of current rental rates and practices. Each such appraiser shall be appointed within twenty (20) days after the Outside Agreement Date.

(3)    Appraisal. Upon selection, Landlord’s and Tenant’s appraisers shall work together in good faith to agree upon the Base Rent Modification. The estimate chosen by such appraisers shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant. If the two appraisers cannot agree upon the Base Rent Modification for the Premises for each year of the Extension Term within twenty (20) days after their appointment, then, within ten (10) days after the expiration of such twenty (20) day period, the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser meeting the above criteria. Once the third appraiser has been selected as provided for above, then such third appraiser shall, within ten (10) days after appointment, make its determination of which of the appraisers’ two estimates most closely reflects the correct Base Rent Modification for each year of the Extension Term and such estimate shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant as the Base Rent Modification for the applicable Extension Term. The parties shall share equally in the costs of the third appraiser and each party shall pay for the cost of its own appraiser. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an appraiser within twenty (20) days after the Outside Agreement Date, the appraiser appointed by one of them shall reach a decision, notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such appraiser’s decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

E.    Condition. Tenant agrees to accept the Premises to be covered by this Lease during each Extension Term in an “as is” physical condition, and Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any allowance, credit, concession or payment from Landlord for the improvement thereof.

F.    Amendment. In the event Tenant exercises an Extension Option, then Landlord and Tenant shall mutually execute and deliver an amendment to this Lease reflecting the extension of the Term and the Base Rent for the Extension Term on the terms herein provided.

G.    Termination. The Extension Option herein granted shall automatically terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the expiration or termination of this Lease; (ii) the termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises; (iii) any assignment or subletting by Tenant, other than a Permitted Transfer (as defined in Section 14.4 below); or (iv) the failure of Tenant to timely or properly exercise any Extension Option.

Section 3.4.    Lease Termination for Expansion. At any time following the fifth (5th) Lease Year, if (a) Tenant is not in default in the payment of Rent and no material Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) Tenant requires more than 675,000 square feet of space to operate its business, (c) Landlord owns other similar distribution space of the size required by Tenant regardless of location, including any land and/or projects to be developed by Landlord (“Alternate Premises”) and (d) Tenant has not exercised the Expansion Option, then Tenant may notify Landlord (“Alternate Premises Notice”) that it wishes to terminate the lease of the Premises and enter into a lease of an Alternate Premises with Landlord. For a period of thirty (30) days after Landlord has been given the Alternate Premises Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to negotiate the terms of a lease of the Alternate Premises. Tenant and Landlord hereby

 

  8   Manteca, CA


expressly acknowledge that (i) any action taken by Tenant or Landlord in connection with the potential lease of the Alternate Premises shall not be deemed to be an agreement of Tenant to lease the Alternate Premises or an agreement of Landlord to lease the Alternate Premises to Tenant and that no such obligation shall be imputed unless and until a written lease with respect thereto has been signed by both Landlord and Tenant; (ii) the parties have not agreed on the material terms of any lease of the Alternate Premises; and (iii) either Landlord or Tenant may determine, each in its sole discretion, to terminate all negotiations with respect to the lease of the Alternate Premises at any time prior to the execution of a lease. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be obligated to enter into a lease of the Alternative Premises if they cannot agree upon the terms of any such lease for any reason or no reason. In the event that Landlord and Tenant enter into a lease of the Alternate Premises within said thirty (30) day period, this Lease shall terminate without penalty or fee on the commencement date of the lease of the Alternate Premises. In the event that Landlord and Tenant do not enter into a lease of the Alternate Premises within said thirty (30) day period, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect but the right to terminate pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be null and void.

Section 3.5.    Termination Option. Tenant shall have the option (“Termination Option”) to terminate the Lease effective as of the last day of the seventy-second (72nd) full calendar month of the Term (“Termination Date”) upon the following terms and provisions:

A.    Tenant gives Landlord written notice (“Termination Notice”) of Tenant’s exercise of the Termination Option, provided, however, the Termination Notice shall not be effective unless (i) received by Landlord at least nine (9) full calendar months prior to the Termination Date, and (ii) a termination fee in the amount of [***] Dollars ($[***]) (“Termination Fee”) is wire transferred to Landlord on or before the Termination Notice is given to Landlord. The Termination Fee shall be earned by Landlord upon receipt and shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

B.    No default in the payment of Rent and no material Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, either on the date Tenant delivers the Termination Notice or at any time prior to the Termination Date.

C.    Tenant has not exercised the Expansion Option.

D.    Tenant shall remain obligated to perform each and every term, covenant, condition and agreement to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, including, without limitation, the obligation of the Tenant to pay all Rent and other payments which are the obligation of the Tenant under the Lease, through and including the Termination Date.

E.    The Termination Option herein granted shall automatically terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the expiration or termination of the Lease, (ii) the termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, (iii) any assignment or subletting by Tenant other than a Permitted Transfer, (iv) the exercise of the Expansion Option, or (v) the failure of Tenant to timely or properly exercise the Termination Option.

ARTICLE IV –CONSTRUCTION

Section 4.1.    Landlord’s Construction of Initial Improvements. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article IV, Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, cause the General Contractor to construct the Initial Improvements on the Land substantially in accordance with the Final Plans; provided, however, Landlord’s obligation to pay for the Tenant Improvements shall be limited to the Landlord’s Contribution (as hereinafter defined). Landlord agrees that all services and work performed in connection with the Initial Improvements shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner, and shall be performed in material compliance with all applicable building and fire laws, codes, ordinances and regulations.

 

  9   Manteca, CA


Section 4.2.    Final Plans Approval. Landlord shall cause the Project Architect to prepare the Final Plans for the Initial Improvements. Landlord and Tenant agree that the Final Plans shall be substantially consistent with the Concept Plan and the Outline Specifications. Each Final Plan component shall be subject to Tenant’s approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and if Tenant does not approve same, Tenant shall advise Landlord in reasonable detail of the reasons for such disapproval. Tenant’s disapproval must be based on the fact that the Final Plan component deviates materially from the Concept Plan or the Outline Specifications. Tenant shall comment on the each Final Plan component submitted to Tenant, and each revision thereof, if applicable, within ten (10) days after receipt from Landlord. In the event that Tenant does not disapprove of a Final Plan component submitted to Tenant within said ten (10) day period, such Final Plan component thereof shall be deemed approved.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.2, Tenant may not disapprove any changes as may be incorporated in the Final Plans necessary to obtain the approval of the City. Nevertheless, in the event that the City requests any change in the Final Plans, Landlord and Tenant will, at no cost or expense to Landlord and no delay to the completion of the construction of the Initial Improvements, work cooperatively together and use commercially reasonably efforts to incorporate such changes in a manner that will not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Initial Improvements. Any time delay relating to such efforts shall be deemed to be a Tenant Delay.

Resolution of any dispute with respect to the Tenant’s approval of the Final Plans (“Arbitration Issue”) shall be made by Fast Track Arbitration and shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant described in the following provisions of this Section 4.2:

A.    “Fast Track Arbitration” means resolution of a dispute between the Landlord and Tenant on an Arbitration Issue by a “Fast Track Arbitrator” appointed in accordance with these provisions.

B.    Tenant and Landlord shall agree upon a list of three individuals consisting of one person designated as the Fast Track Arbitrator and the remaining two persons designated as first and second alternates (“Alternates”). Each Fast Track Arbitrator and Alternate shall be a licensed architect in the State of California with a minimum of 15 years of experience with industrial construction projects (a “Qualified Arbitrator”).

C.    Any Fast Track Arbitrator or Alternate who has a conflict (including, without limitation, a recent or current assignment on behalf of Landlord or Tenant) shall withdraw and automatically be disqualified unless consented to in writing by the Landlord and Tenant.

D.    If the Fast Track Arbitrator shall be removed by agreement of Landlord and Tenant, or resign, or otherwise be disqualified, or no longer be a Qualified Arbitrator, the Alternates shall, within three (3) business days after such removal or being advised of such resignation or change in work status, select a replacement individual who is also a Qualified Arbitrator. Landlord and Tenant will then mutually agree within three (3) business days on which of the three individuals will be the Fast Track Arbitrator. If not so designated, the Fast Track Arbitrator shall be appointed by lottery among the Alternates on the next business day. The other two individuals will be Alternates.

E.    The Fast Track Arbitrator shall be notified in writing when the Fast Track Arbitration Method is requested by either party. If the Fast Track Arbitrator is unavailable to resolve a particular dispute, then in the established priority, the first or second Alternate shall be contacted, depending on their availability to resolve the Arbitration Issue. Any further reference to Fast Track Arbitrator in this section means the individual acting as Fast Track Arbitrator on a particular Arbitration Issue.

 

  10   Manteca, CA


F.    The party desiring Fast Track Arbitration (“Requesting Party”) shall give simultaneous written notice to the Fast Track Arbitrator and the other party specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the Arbitration Issue and the particular questions to be resolved. The party receiving the notice (“Responding Party”) shall provide a detailed response within five (5) business days after receiving the notice. The Fast Track Arbitrator shall set a date for a hearing on the Arbitration Issue no more than ten (10) business days after the Responding Party has responded. At the hearing, each side shall orally present its position and deliver to the Fast Track Arbitrator such written material and exhibits as it deems appropriate, but shall not include any materials or exhibits not previously provided to the other party enough in advance of the hearing as the Fast Track Arbitrator deems reasonable to ensure a fair hearing.

In the event that Substantial Completion has not occurred on or before October 16, 2017, as Tenant’s sole remedy (except for the termination rights provided in this Section 4.4) and as Landlord’s sole liability to Tenant, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the Holdover Payment (as defined below) due to the fact that Tenant will be required to holdover under that certain Standard Industrial/Commercial Single-Tenant Lease - Net dated October 15, 2004 (the “Modesto Lease”) by and between Tenant and Costa Limited Partners, L.P., a California limited partnership (the “Modesto Landlord”) relating to property located at 4300 Spyres Way, Modesto, California (the “Modesto Premises”).

Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Land during the Early Access Period shall (1) be done in a manner as to not render Landlord’s or General Contractor’s insurance thereon void or more expensive unless Tenant agrees to pay any increase, (2) be allowed only to the extent permitted by the applicable Governmental Authorities, including, but not limited to, the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy authorizing

 

  13   Manteca, CA

Tenant shall at all times keep the Premises and adjacent areas free from accumulations of waste materials or rubbish caused by its suppliers, contractors or workmen. Landlord reserves the right to do clean-up at the expense of Tenant if Tenant fails to comply with Landlord’s reasonable cleanup requirements. At the completion of Tenant’s Work, Tenant’s Contractors shall forthwith remove all rubbish and all tools, equipment and surplus materials from and about the Premises. Any damage caused by Tenant or Tenant’s Contractors to any portion of the Premises or to any property of Landlord shall be repaired forthwith by Tenant at its expense to the condition prior to such damage.

All insurance policies shall be written with insurance companies and shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and shall name Landlord as an additional insured and loss payee as its interests may appear and shall provide that they may not be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to Landlord. The minimum limits of insurance shall not limit or diminish Tenant’s liability under the Lease. The failure of Landlord to obtain such evidence from Tenant or Tenant’s Contractors before permitting construction to commence shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any requirement herein, and Tenant shall remain under continuing obligation to maintain and cause Tenant’s Contractors to maintain the specified insurance coverage. Any and all deductibles on referenced insurance coverages shall be borne by Tenant and, if applicable, Tenant’s Contractors. Tenant expressly understands and

The Tenant Improvements shall not include any of the Tenant’s Work.

The percentage due from Tenant shall be equal to the Tenant’s Contribution divided by the amount of the Final Costs, and such payments by Tenant (the “Over-Allowance Payments”) shall be a condition to Landlord’s obligation to pay any amounts from the Landlord’s Contribution and to perform any additional

 

  15   Manteca, CA

Tenant is currently a tenant under that certain Standard Industrial/Commercial Multi-Tenant Lease - Net dated April 4, 2014 (the “Existing Lathrop Lease”) by and between Tenant and LIT Industrial Limited Partnership, as successor-in-interest to Lathrop Industrial Development III, LLC (the “Lathrop Landlord”) relating to property located at 17760 Shideler Parkway, Lathrop, California (the “Lathrop Premises”). The Existing Lathrop Lease is scheduled to expire in accordance with its terms on March 31, 2021, provided that Tenant has the right terminate the Existing Lathrop Lease effective on January 31, 2018 upon delivery of written notice to the Lathrop Landlord on or before April 1, 2017 and the payment of a termination fee in the amount of [***] Dollars ($[***]) (“Lathrop Termination Fee”). Tenant agrees not to exercise the right terminate the Existing Lathrop Lease prior to March 15, 2017. In the event Tenant exercises the early termination right under the Existing Lathrop Lease and pays the Lathrop Termination Fee to the Lathrop Landlord when due, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written demand, reimburse Tenant for Lathrop Termination Fee to the extent that Tenant provides evidence to Landlord that Tenant has paid the Lathrop Termination Fee to the Lathrop Landlord. In the event that any portion of the Lathrop Termination Fee required to be paid by Landlord in accordance with the foregoing terms is not paid when due and Landlord further fails to pay such amount within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written demand for payment from Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to offset the amount of due against the next payments of Base Rent on a monthly basis; provided, however, the amount abated each month shall be limited to twenty-five (25%) percent of each monthly payment of Base Rent; provided, further, however, in all events, Tenant shall be entitled to fully recover such costs during the Term so that the percentage of recovery from Base Rent may increase ratably as required in order to fully recover such costs over the remaining Term.

In addition, in the event that Tenant exercises the early termination right under the Existing Lathrop Lease and pays the Lathrop Termination Fee to the Lathrop Landlord when due and Substantial Completion has not occurred on or before January 31, 2018, Landlord shall indemnify, protect and hold Tenant free and harmless from any claims, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) asserted by the Lathrop Landlord from Tenant’s failure to surrender the Lathrop Premises by January 31, 2018; provided that Tenant shall vacate the Lathrop Premises on or before the Substantial Completion Date and Landlord’s indemnification shall terminate as to claims first arising after said date. Tenant shall indemnify, protect and hold Landlord free and harmless from any claims, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) asserted by the Lathrop Landlord from Tenant’s failure to surrender the Lathrop Premises by the Substantial Completion Date.

In the event Tenant does not exercise the early termination right under the Existing Lathrop Lease and pay the Lathrop Termination Fee to the Lathrop Landlord when due, Landlord shall not be obligated to (i) pay or reimburse Tenant for the Lathrop Termination Fee or (ii) indemnify, protect and hold Landlord free and harmless

 

  16   Manteca, CA


from any claims, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) asserted by the Lathrop Landlord under the Existing Lathrop Lease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the option of Landlord, Landlord may elect to assume the Existing Lathrop Lease so long as such assumption is completed on or before March 15, 2016. In the event that Landlord elects to assume the Existing Lathrop Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to negotiate Landlord’s assumption of the Existing Lathrop Lease upon the same terms and conditions set forth in the Existing Lathrop Lease and concurrent with such assumption, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a sublease of the Lathrop Premises (the “Lathrop Sublease”) upon the same terms and conditions of the Existing Lathrop Lease, except that (i) the term of the Lathrop Sublease and Tenant’s possession of the Lathrop Premises shall terminate upon the earlier of the date (“Lathrop Sublease Termination Date”) of (x) the commencement of Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent under this Lease or (y) the commencement of business operations within the Premises, (ii) Landlord, not Tenant, may exercise the early termination right under the Existing Lathrop Lease at its discretion, (iii) Tenant shall remain liable to perform all of the obligations of the tenant/lessee under the Existing Lathrop Lease for a time prior to the Lathrop Sublease Termination Date and shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any and all liability arising out of or in any way related to the Existing Lathrop Lease, and (iv) Landlord shall not be obligated to perform any obligations of the landlord/lessor under the Lathrop Sublease or as the tenant/lessee under the Existing Lathrop Lease. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that Landlord exercises the early termination right under the Existing Lathrop Lease, but Substantial Completion does not occur by January 31, 2018, then Landlord shall indemnify, protect and hold Tenant free and harmless from any claims, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) asserted by the Lathrop Landlord from Tenant’s failure to surrender the Lathrop Premises by January 31, 2018; provided that Tenant shall vacate the Lathrop Premises on or before the Lathrop Sublease Termination Date and Landlord’s indemnification shall terminate on said date. Tenant shall indemnify, protect and hold Landlord free and harmless from any claims, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) asserted by the Lathrop Landlord from Tenant’s failure to surrender the Lathrop Premises by the Lathrop Sublease Termination Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event that the real estate Taxes for the Premises are reassessed based upon any sale, change in ownership of the Project (or any portion thereof) or any other transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Project (or ownership interests in the entity constituting Landlord) during the first two (2) years after the Commencement Date as a result of the sale of the Premises by Landlord, Landlord shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of the incremental increase in the real estate Taxes resulting from such reassessment, and (ii) in the event that the real estate Taxes for the Premises are reassessed based upon any sale, change in ownership of the Project (or any portion thereof) or any other transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Project (or ownership interests in the entity constituting Landlord) during the third (3rd) or fourth (4th) years after the Commencement Date, Landlord shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the incremental increase in the real estate Taxes resulting from such reassessment. The amount of Taxes attributable to a Calendar Year shall be the amount assessed for such Calendar Year, even though the assessment for such Taxes may be payable in a different Calendar Year. Landlord may equitably adjust the portion of Taxes attributable to new improvements for the calendar year in which the Commencement Date occurs based upon when such improvements are assessed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.2(A)(7), Taxes shall not include any corporate, partnership, income (other than a rental income tax), franchise, estate, or gift taxes. If any special assessment may be paid over a period of time, Landlord shall elect such

 

  20   Manteca, CA


payment over the longest time period available and in such event such assessment shall include any reasonable additional costs or expenses incurred by Landlord.

B.    Commencing on the Commencement Date,, Tenant shall pay to the Landlord as Additional Rent Tenant’s Proportion of Expenses, Insurance Expenses and Taxes attributable to each Calendar Year.

C.    Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Calendar Year, Landlord will furnish Tenant a statement (“Adjustment Statement”) showing the following:

(1)    The total amount of Expenses, Insurance Expenses and Taxes for such Calendar Year and the amount of Expenses, Insurance Expenses and Taxes paid by Tenant during such Calendar Year;

(2)    The total amount of Rent Adjustments due Landlord for such Calendar Year, less credits for Rent Adjustment Deposits paid, if any; and

(3)    The Rent Adjustment Deposit due in the current Calendar Year.

D.    Within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of each Adjustment Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord:

(1)    The amount of Rent Adjustment shown on the Adjustment Statement as due to Landlord for the Calendar Year last ended; plus

(2)    The amount, which when added to the Rent Adjustment Deposit theretofore paid in the current Calendar Year, would provide that Landlord has then received such portion of the Rent Adjustment Deposit as would have theretofore been paid to Landlord had Tenant paid one-twelfth (1/12) of the Rent Adjustment Deposit, for the current Calendar Year, to Landlord monthly on the first (1st) day of each month of such Calendar Year.

Commencing on the first (1st) day of the first month after Tenant’s receipt of each Adjustment Statement, and on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter until Tenant receives a more current Adjustment Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Rent Adjustment Deposit shown on the then-current Adjustment Statement. During the last complete Calendar Year, Landlord may include in the Rent Adjustment Deposit its estimate of the Rent Adjustment which may not be finally determined until after the expiration of the Term. Tenant’s obligation to pay the Rent Adjustment shall survive the expiration or termination of the Term.

E.    If the Commencement Date is on any day other than the first (1st) day of January or if the last day of the Term is on any day other than the last day of December, then any Rent Adjustments due Landlord shall be prorated for the applicable calendar year. All Rent Adjustment Deposits may be commingled, and no interest shall be paid to Tenant thereon.

Section 5.3.    Audit Right. Each Adjustment Statement shall include reasonable detail for the applicable Expenses. Tenant shall have the right, within one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of an Adjustment Statement (“Audit Period”), upon reasonable advance notice to Landlord, to inspect, review, audit and photocopy (and/or to have an independent consultant inspect, review, audit and photocopy) Landlord’s accounting records related to Rent Adjustments. If Tenant does not notify Landlord that it elects to inspect, review, audit and photocopy (and/or to have an independent consultant inspect, review, audit and photocopy) Landlord’s accounting records related to Rent Adjustments within said ninety (90) day period,

 

  21   Manteca, CA


Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Adjustment Statement. If such inspection, review or audit reveals that Landlord has overcharged Tenant, Tenant shall notify Landlord of such overcharge within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Audit Period. If Tenant does not notify Landlord within said thirty (30) day period that Landlord has overcharged it, Tenant shall be deemed to have agreed that it was not overcharged and to have approved the Adjustment Statement. Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after notice to Landlord, reimburse Tenant for the amount of the overcharge; provided, however, that if Landlord desires to contest such results, Landlord may do so by submitting the results of the audit to arbitration pursuant to the commercial rules of the American Arbitration Association within twenty (20) days of receipt of the results, and the results of any such arbitration shall be final and binding on Landlord and Tenant. The arbitrator shall be an independent consultant with at least five (5) years’ experience in the review of operating expenses for properties comparable to the Project or a certified public accountant. Tenant agrees to pay the cost of its inspection, review, audit and arbitration; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if the result of the arbitration is that Landlord overcharged Tenant by more than five percent (5%) of the actual Expenses for such year, Landlord shall pay the reasonable costs of such audit and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the arbitration.

Section 5.4.    Interest Charge and Late Charge. Tenant acknowledges that its late payment of any Rent will cause Landlord to incur certain costs and expenses not contemplated under this Lease, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult or impractical to fix. Therefore, if any payment of Rent, or any portion thereof, is not received by Landlord within five (5) days of the date when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the unpaid amount. In addition, if any overdue payment of Rent is not paid within one (1) month of the due date thereof, an additional late charge equal to three percent (3%) of the unpaid amount may be charged by Landlord, and Landlord may charge an additional three percent (3%) of any overdue and unpaid amount for each additional month, or fraction thereof, during which any such payment remains past due. Landlord and Tenant agree that the foregoing late charges represent reasonable estimates of costs and expenses incurred by Landlord from, and are fair compensation to Landlord for, its loss suffered by such late payment by Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first time in any eighteen (18) month period that any Rent payment is not received by Landlord by the fifth (5th) business day of the calendar month, Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant and an additional three (3) business day grace period before imposing the five percent (5%) late charge.

Any amount due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, other than the payment of Rent, not paid when due shall bear interest from the date when the same is payable under the terms of this Lease until the same shall be paid at a rate of interest equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum (the “Delinquency Rate”).

ARTICLE VI – UTILITIES

Section 6.1.    Utilities. Tenant shall pay, directly to the appropriate supplier, all costs of natural gas, electricity, heat, light, power, sewer service, telephone, water, refuse disposal and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises. If at any time, any services or utilities are jointly metered, Landlord shall make a reasonable determination of Tenant’s share thereof and Tenant shall pay its share, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord. Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord and the utility service providers at all times and, as reasonably necessary, shall allow access to the Premises’ electric lines, feeders, risers, wiring, and any other machinery within the Premises so long as the foregoing does not adversely impact Tenant’s operations, access to or use of the Premises.

Landlord shall in no way be liable or responsible for any loss, damage, or expense that Tenant may sustain or incur by reason of any change, failure, interference, disruption, defect, unavailability or unsuitability in the supply or character of any utility or service furnished to the Premises, and no such change, failure, interference disruption, defect, unavailability, or unsuitability shall relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease.

 

  22   Manteca, CA


ARTICLE VII – USE

Section 7.1.    Use. The Premises shall be used for the Use only, and for no other purpose. Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises and comply with all applicable federal, state, local and/or municipal law, statute, ordinance, code, rule, regulation, policy, common law, license, authorization, decision, order, injunction or ordinance (collectively, “Applicable Law”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Lease shall be interpreted to obligate Tenant to open or operate a business in the Premises.

Section 7.2.    Prohibited Uses. Tenant shall not permit the Premises, or any portion thereof, to be used in such manner which impairs Landlord’s right, title or interest in the Premises or any portion thereof, or in such manner which gives rise to a claim or claims of adverse possession or of a dedication of the Premises, or any portion thereof, for public use. Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises or permit the Premises to be used or occupied: (i) contrary to any Restrictions or any Applicable Law, and shall at all times comply with all Restrictions and Applicable Law, (ii) in any manner which would violate any certificate of occupancy, (iii) in any manner which would render any insurance maintained or required to be maintained by Landlord or Tenant void or the insurance risk more hazardous, (iv) in any manner which would cause structural injury to the Building, or (v) in a manner which would constitute a public or private nuisance or waste. Tenant agrees that it will, promptly upon discovery of any such prohibited use, immediately notify Landlord and take all necessary steps to compel the discontinuance of such prohibited use.

ARTICLE VIII - MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OBLIGATIONS

Section 8.1.    Tenant’s Obligations.

A.    Subject to the Landlord’s obligations set forth in Section 8.2 below, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly perform all maintenance and promptly make all necessary repairs and replacements, in and to the entire Premises, including, but not limited to, the floor slab, interior and demising walls, interior portions of exterior walls, windows, glass, window frames, entries, doors, overhead doors, truck doors, door frames, loading dock areas, dock bumpers, dock plates and levelers, signs, rail improvements (on or off the Premises but capable of serving the Premises), and all systems such as plumbing, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, electrical, fire sprinkler and fire protection, water and sewer serving the Premises.

B.    Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, procure and maintain service contracts, in form and substance and with a licensed firm reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, for (i) the semi-annual maintenance of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning , (ii) the annual (or more frequent if required by the local municipality) maintenance of the fire sprinkler and fire protection systems (including, but not limited to alarms, pumps and sprinkler heads) serving the Premises and (iii) the annual maintenance of the dock doors and levelers. The maintenance service contract of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning shall include the services set forth on Exhibit “E” attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein. Tenant shall provide copies of all such contracts to Landlord and, upon the request of Landlord, provide evidence, including reports, that the work and inspections to be performed pursuant to such contracts have been performed.

Section 8.2.    Landlord’s Obligations.

A.    Landlord shall inspect, test, maintain, repair and replace the roof, the structural portions of the exterior walls (excluding interior portions of exterior walls, windows, glass, window frames, doors, overhead doors, truck doors, and door frames), the foundation of the Building (which foundation shall not include the floors or floor slabs) and the parking lots, parkways and driveways

 

  23   Manteca, CA


on the Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s obligations relating to the parking lot, parkways and driveways shall not include snow removal, landscaping, removal of debris or safety issues. All costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any and all inspections, tests, maintenance, repairs and replacements shall be Expenses and shall be paid by Tenant.

B.    Capital Improvements. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 8.1 to the contrary, if in Landlord’s reasonable determination Landlord determines that a replacement of the roof, parking lot or an HVAC unit in the Premises is required to be performed (“Shared Capital Improvement”), then Landlord shall perform the replacement but Landlord and Tenant shall share the cost of the Shared Capital Improvement as follows: (i) Tenant shall pay its proportionate share of such replacement cost calculated by multiplying the replacement cost times that fraction the numerator of which is the number of Lease full and partial months remaining in the Term when the replacement is completed and the denominator of which shall be the number of months of useful life of the Shared Capital Improvement determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and (ii) Landlord shall pay the balance and such balance paid by Landlord shall not be an Expense. Tenant’s proportionate share of such replacement cost shall be paid at Tenant’s election either (a) in full upon substantial completion of the change or addition, or (b) in equal installments commencing upon substantial completion and on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the Term thereafter, in an amount (“Monthly Payment Amount”) equal to the replacement cost amortized over the remainder of the Term at a rate of nine percent (9%) per annum. For example, if Tenant elects to pay in installments, the cost of the improvement is $10,000.00, substantial completion occurs with 48 full months remaining in the Term and the useful life of the improvement is 120 months, the monthly amount due from Tenant shall be $126.68. If, at the end of the Term, the Tenant extends the Term, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first (1st) day of each month of the Extension Term the Monthly Payment Amount for each month included in the Renewal Term (not to exceed the number of months of useful life remaining for the improvement made).

Section 8.3.    Damage Caused by Tenant’s Neglect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if any damage, repair or replacement to the Premises, the Park, the Project or any equipment or appurtenance in the Project, results from any act or negligence of Tenant or any member of the Tenant Group (as hereinafter defined), Tenant shall be liable therefor and, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written demand by Landlord, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such damages, repairs and replacements, unless such damage is covered by the insurance which Tenant pays its proportionate share of pursuant Section 5.2.A(2).

ARTICLE IX - TENANT’S INSURANCE

(vi)    Business Income coverage with limits not less than an amount necessary to cover continuing expenses including Rent and extra expenses for at least one (1) year (provided that Tenant may self-insure with regard to the risks described in this clause (vi), provided that in all instances such self-insurance shall be deemed to contain all of the terms and conditions applicable to such insurance as required by this Article IX, and Tenant hereby waives any right it may have against Landlord with respect to any damage or loss that would otherwise have been covered by the insurance coverage described in this clause (vi) had the same been obtained through a third-party insurer).

(vii)    Such other policy or policies as are deemed reasonably necessary by Landlord (but in no event shall such other reasonable types of insurance be in excess of that (x) required by landlords of project comparable to the Project for tenants of comparable financial strength and consistent with the size of the space leased by such tenants, or (y) required by Landlord for any other tenant of the Park).

If, pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.1 of this Lease, Tenant is in the business of manufacturing, selling, distributing, serving or furnishing alcoholic beverages, then Tenant shall obtain and maintain, throughout the entire Term, liquor liability and dram shop insurance, in such amounts as Landlord may require, and if no such amount is specified by Landlord, in amounts no less than the minimums required by Applicable Law. In addition to the aforementioned insurances, and during any such time as any alterations or work is being performed at the Premises (except that work being performed by the Landlord or on behalf of Landlord) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall carry, or shall cause to be carried and shall deliver to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to commencement of any such alteration or work, evidence of insurance with respects to (a) workers compensation insurance covering all persons employed in connection with the proposed alteration or work in statutory limits, (b) general/excess liability insurance, in an amount commensurate with the work to be performed but not less than $2,000,000.00 per occurrence and in the aggregate, for ongoing and completed operations insuring against bodily injury and property damage and naming all additional insured parties as outlined below and required of Tenant and shall include a

Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, prior to the Commencement Date, and thereafter at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of each such policy, certificates of insurance evidencing all required coverages, together with a copy of the endorsement(s), specifically but not limited to Waiver of Rights to Recover from Others, Additional Insureds (ongoing and completed operations) and Contractual Liability endorsements.

C.    Landlord and Tenant further agree any and all deductibles on insurance policies required to be provided by Tenant shall be borne by Tenant and shall be considered insurance for purposes of the Waiver of Subrogation obligation set forth below.

Section 9.2.    Landlord’s Insurance. Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Lease to the contrary, throughout the entire Term of the Lease, Landlord shall maintain in full force and effect (i) commercial general liability insurance covering the Project at limits no less than those required by Landlord’s mortgagee, if any, or as reasonably required by Landlord, (ii) Special Form “All Risk” property insurance covering the full replacement cost of the Building (including Building fixtures) with no coinsurance limitation, which insurance shall include rental loss and provide coverage in the event of fire, smoke damage, vandalism, malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage and all other risks normally covered under “special form” policies in the geographical area of the Building in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement value of the improvements within the project (less reasonable deductibles not to exceed $25,000.00), and any other coverages and perils as required by Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagee, if any, and (iii) such other insurance deemed necessary by Landlord. The cost of all insurance described in this Section 9.2 and all deductibles paid thereunder shall be a part of Insurance Expenses.

Section 9.3.    Waiver. Landlord and Tenant agree to have all property insurance policies which are required to be carried by either of them under this Lease either endorsed to provide that the insurer waives all rights of subrogation which such insurer might have against the other party and Landlord’s mortgagee, if any or to have such policies give permission for the respective Landlord or Tenant to waive recovery rights in writing prior to a loss. By this clause, the parties intend and hereby agree, that the risk of loss or damage to property shall be borne by the parties’ insurance carriers. It is hereby agreed that Landlord and Tenant shall look solely to, and seek recovery from, only their respective insurance carriers in the event a loss is sustained for which Property Insurance is carried or is required to be carried under this Lease. If Landlord elects to self insure any of the insurance required of Landlord under this Lease, Landlord shall be considered an insurance carrier for purposes of this Section. Without limiting any release or waiver of liability or recovery contained in any other Section of this Lease but rather in confirmation and furtherance thereof, Landlord waives all claims for recovery from Tenant, and Tenant waives all

 

  26   Manteca, CA


claims for recovery from Landlord, and their respective agents, partners and employees, for any loss or damage to any of its property insured under the insurance policies required under this Lease. The provisions of this Section 9.3 will survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE X - DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

Section 10.1.    Damage or Destruction. Subject to the terms of Section 10.2 below, in the event of damage to, or destruction of, the Building or any other improvements on the Land owned by Landlord, by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall repair, restore or rebuild the same to substantially the same condition existing prior to the happening of such fire or other casualty using commercially reasonable diligence.

Section 10.2.    Termination Rights.

A.    Within sixty (60) days after Landlord becomes aware of such damage, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing (“Landlord’s Damage Notice”) of the estimated time, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, required to substantially complete the repairs of such damage (the “Estimated Repair Period”). Notwithstanding the terms of Section 10.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises and/or the Building and instead terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant ninety (90) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause covered by the insurance described in Section 9.2 hereof, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) repairs cannot, in Landlord’s opinion, as set forth in Landlord’s Damage Notice, reasonably be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days of the date of damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); or (ii) the damage is not fully covered by Landlord’s insurance policies obtained or required to be obtained pursuant to Section 9.2 above (provided, however, that Landlord shall not have such termination right in this clause (ii) with respect to any such uninsured or underinsured casualty which costs less than $250,000.00 to repair with respect to the Premises).

B.    If (x) Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord’s termination right as provided above, (y) the damage constitutes a Tenant Damage Event (as defined below), and (z) the repair of such damage cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, as set forth in Landlord’s Damage Notice, be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of the damage, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice thereof to Landlord within seven (7) business days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Damage Notice, which termination shall be effective as of the date of such termination notice thereof to Landlord. As used herein, a “Tenant Damage Event”) shall mean damage to all or any part of the Premises by fire or other casualty, which damage is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any of Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors or licenses, and which damage substantially interferes with Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises and would entitle Tenant to an abatement of Rent pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, unless Landlord provides Tenant with other space during the period of repair that is suitable for the temporary conduct of Tenant’s business. In addition, in the event of a Tenant Damage Event, and if neither Landlord nor Tenant has elected to terminate this Lease as provided hereinabove, but Landlord fails to substantially complete the repair and restoration of such Tenant Damage Event within the Estimated Repair Period plus ninety (90) days, plus the number of days of delay, if any, attributable to events of Force Majeure plus the number of delay, if any, as are attributable to the acts or omissions of Tenant, then Tenant shall have an additional right to terminate this Lease by delivering written termination notice to Landlord within fifteen (15) days

 

  27   Manteca, CA


after the expiration of such period, which termination shall be effective as of the date of such determination notice.

C.    Further, in the event that the Premises is destroyed or damaged to any substantial extent during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Article X, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease, and to the extent such destruction or damage constitutes a Tenant Damage Event and the repair of same is reasonably expected by Landlord to require more than ninety (90) days to complete, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease, by giving written termination notice to the other party of the exercise of such option within thirty (30) days after the date of such damage or destruction; provided, however that Tenant shall have the right to cancel Landlord’s exercise of the above-described termination right by providing Landlord, within ten (10) days of Tenant’s receipt from Landlord of the termination notice, with written notice of Tenant’s exercise of its right, pursuant to Section 3.3 above (if such right has not yet expired), to so extend the Lease Term. If either Landlord or Tenant exercises any of its options to terminate this Lease as provided hereinabove, (1) this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such termination notice, (2) Tenant shall pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent, properly apportioned up to such date of termination, and (3) both parties hereto shall thereafter be freed and discharged of all further obligations hereunder, except as provided for in provisions of this Lease which by their terms survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.

Section 10.3.    Insurance Proceeds. In the event of any casualty, all insurance proceeds under policies purchased by Landlord shall be payable to Landlord.

ARTICLE XI – LIENS

Section 11.1.    Lien Claims. Tenant shall not do any act which shall in any way encumber title to the Project or any part of the Project, nor shall any interest or estate of Landlord in the Project be in any way subject to any claim by way of lien or encumbrance, whether by operation of law or by virtue of any express or implied contract by Tenant. Any claim to or lien upon the Project arising from any act or omission of Tenant shall accrue only against the leasehold estate of Tenant and shall in all respects be subject and subordinate to the paramount title and rights of Landlord in and to the Project. Tenant will not permit the Premises or any other part of the Project to become subject to any mechanics’, laborers’ or materialmen’s lien on account of labor or material furnished to Tenant or claimed to have been furnished to Tenant in connection with work of any character performed or claimed to have been performed by or at the direction or sufferance of Tenant. If any such lien so attaches and Tenant fails to pay and remove the same within the earlier to occur of: (a) twenty (20) days after the filing of the lien and (b) the date required under any mortgage encumbering the Project, then Landlord, at its election, and in addition to any other remedies available under this Lease, or pursuant to Applicable Law, may pay and satisfy the same and in such event the sums so paid by Landlord, with interest from the date of Landlord’s payment thereof at the Delinquency Rate, shall be deemed to be Additional Rent due and payable by Tenant at once without notice or demand. Tenant agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend (with counsel approved by Landlord) Landlord from any loss, cost, damage or expense, including attorney’s fees, arising out of any lien claim or out of any other claim relating to work done or materials supplied at Tenant’s request or on Tenant’s behalf.

ARTICLE XII - TENANT ALTERATIONS AND SIGNAGE

Section 12.1.    Alterations. Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions or improvements (each, an “Alteration” and collectively, “Alterations”) to the Premises without, in each instance, the prior written consent of Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that Tenant first gives Landlord written notice, Tenant shall have the right to make Alterations to the Premises that: (i) are non structural, (ii) do not require penetrations or openings in the roof, foundation, floor or floor slab or exterior walls, (iii) do

For purposes of this Lease: (i) ”Engineered Barrier” means a physical measure for the purpose of preventing or minimizing exposure to Hazardous Material (as hereinafter defined) including, but not limited to: fencing, capping, horizontal or vertical barriers, hydraulic controls, and alternative water supplies; and (ii) ”Institutional Control” means a legal or administrative tool or action taken to reduce the potential for exposure to Hazardous Material including but not limited to: use restrictions, deed restrictions, environmental monitoring requirements, and site access and security measures.

Section 12.2.    Standards and Procedures. Any Alteration by Tenant shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner in compliance with all and subject to Applicable Law and Restrictions. Before commencing any Alterations requiring Landlord’s consent: (a) plans and specifications for the proposed Alteration, prepared by a licensed architect, shall be submitted to and approved by Landlord (such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (b) Tenant shall furnish to Landlord an estimate of the cost of the proposed work, certified by the architect who prepared such plans and specifications; (c) all contracts for any proposed work shall be submitted to and approved by Landlord; (d) Tenant shall have furnished Landlord with a satisfactory certificate or certificates from an insurance company acceptable to Landlord reflecting insurance coverage reasonably acceptable to Landlord; and (e) at the request of Landlord, in the event of Alterations costing in excess of $250,000.00, Tenant shall either furnish to Landlord a letter of credit or other security, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, to Landlord to insure payment for the completion of all work free and clear of liens. Upon completion of any Alteration by Tenant, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a copy of the “as built” plans covering such Alteration.

  29   Manteca, CA


condemnation by the condemning authority. Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord, Tenant’s interest, if any, in such award and any award paid as a consequence of any taking, sale or condemnation, shall be paid to Landlord.

Except as permitted pursuant to Section 14.4 below, Tenant shall not assign this Lease or any interest hereunder, nor shall Tenant sublet or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises or any part thereof by anyone other than Tenant, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delay. Consent by Landlord pursuant to this Article XIV shall not be deemed, construed or held to be consent to any additional assignment or subletting, but each successive act shall require similar consent of Landlord. Landlord shall be reimbursed by Tenant for any third party costs or expenses incurred pursuant to any request by Tenant for consent to any such assignment or subletting.

Section 14.2.    Operation of Law. Tenant shall not allow or permit any transfer of this Lease, or any interest hereunder, by operation of law, or convey, mortgage, pledge or encumber this Lease or any interest hereunder.

Section 14.3.    Merger or Consolidation. If Tenant is a corporation whose stock is not publicly traded, any transaction or series of transactions (including, without limitation, any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, or any issuance, sale, gift, transfer or redemption of any capital stock of Tenant, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, or sale of any of its assets or any combination of any of the foregoing transactions) resulting in the transfer of control of Tenant, shall be deemed to be a voluntary assignment of this Lease by Tenant subject to the provisions of this Article XIV. If Tenant is a partnership or limited liability company, any transaction or series of transactions (including without limitation any withdrawal or admittance of a partner or member or a change in any partner’s or member’s interest in Tenant, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, or sale of any of its assets or any combination of any of the foregoing transactions) resulting in the transfer of control of Tenant, shall be deemed to be a voluntary assignment of this Lease by Tenant subject to the provisions of this assignment of this Lease by Tenant subject to the provisions of this Article XIV. As used in this Section 14.3, the term “control” means possession of the power to vote not less than a majority interest of any class of voting securities and partnership or limited liability company interests or to direct or cause the direction (directly or

 

  30   Manteca, CA


indirectly) of the management or policies of a corporation, or partnership or limited liability company through the ownership of voting securities, partnership interests or limited liability company interests, respectively.

Section 14.4.    Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.3 to the contrary, Tenant may, without Landlord’s consent, assign all or any portion of the Premises to an Affiliate (as hereinafter defined); provided that such transfer shall be for a legitimate business purpose and not principally for the purpose of transferring this Lease. As used herein, an “Affiliate” shall include persons or entities which (a) controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant; (b) result from a merger or consolidation of Tenant; (c) acquires the business being conducted on the Premises; (d) have entered into a management contract with Tenant; (e) have at least a ten percent (10%) ownership interest in Tenant; or (f) Tenant or an Affiliate has at least ten percent (10%) ownership interest.

Tenant shall, however, give notice to Landlord of a Permitted Transfer and provide Landlord with the requested financial and other documents at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such assignment. The term “tangible net worth” shall mean the excess of the value of tangible assets (i.e. assets excluding those which are intangible such as goodwill, patents and trademarks) over liabilities. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to nor permit Tenant to transfer its interest under this Lease as part of a fraud or subterfuge to intentionally avoid its obligations under this Lease (for example. transferring its interest to a shell corporation that subsequently files a bankruptcy), and any such transfer shall constitute a default hereunder. In the event of a Permitted Transfer, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of the fully executed assignment document (or other applicable document evidencing the relevant transaction) promptly after the occurrence of the Permitted Transfer. As used in this Section 14.4, the term “control” means possession of the power to vote not less than a majority interest of any class of voting securities and partnership or limited liability company interests or to direct or cause the direction (directly or indirectly) of the management or policies of a corporation, or partnership or limited liability company through the ownership of voting securities, partnership interests or limited liability company interests, respectively.

Section 14.5.    Notice and Information. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of Tenant’s intent to assign this Lease or any right or interest hereunder, or to sublease the Premises or any part thereof. Such notice, and any request for Landlord’s consent under this Article XIV, shall include the name of the proposed assignee or sublessee, the nature of the proposed assignee’s or sublessee’s business to be conducted on the Premises, the terms and provisions of the proposed assignment or sublease, a copy of the proposed assignment or sublease form, and such other information as Landlord may reasonably request concerning the proposed assignee or sublessee, including, but not limited to, net worth, income statements and other financial statements for a two (2) year period preceding Tenant’s notice or request for consent, evidence of insurance complying with the requirements of this Lease, and/or an environmental questionnaire from the proposed assignee or sublessee. Landlord shall respond in writing to Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent to a transfer within (5) business days of receipt of such request. If Landlord fails to respond in writing within such period, Landlord will be deemed to have rejected the request to transfer.

Section 14.6.    No Release of Liability. No Permitted Transfer, assignment or subletting shall relieve Tenant of its obligations hereunder, and Tenant shall continue to be liable as a principal and not as a guarantor or surety, to the same extent as though no assignment or sublease had been made.

A.    Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving to Tenant written notice of Landlord’s election to do so, in which event the Term and all right, title and interest of Tenant hereunder shall end on the date stated in such notice;

 

  34   Manteca, CA


B.    Landlord may terminate the right of Tenant to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease, by giving written notice to Tenant that Tenant’s right of possession shall end on the date stated in such notice, whereupon the right of Tenant to possession of the Premises or any part thereof shall cease on the date stated in such notice;

C.    Landlord may enforce the provisions of this Lease and may enforce and protect the rights of Landlord by a suit or suits in equity or at law for the performance of any covenant or agreement herein, and for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy, including without limitation (i) injunctive relief, (ii) recovery of all moneys due or to become due from Tenant under any of the provisions of this Lease, and (iii) any other damages incurred by Landlord by reason of an Event of Default; and

D.    Landlord may reenter and take possession of the Premises or any part of the Premises, repossess the same, expel Tenant and those claiming through or under Tenant, and remove the effects of both or either, using such force for such purposes as may be necessary, without being liable for prosecution, without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass, and without prejudice to any remedies for arrears of Rent or other amounts payable under this Lease or as a result of any other Event of Default or breach of this Lease.

Section 21.2.    Reentry to Premises. Should Landlord elect to reenter as provided herein with or without terminating this Lease, or should Landlord take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided by law, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, rent the Premises or any part of the Premises, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term) and on such conditions and upon such other terms (which may include concessions of free rent and alteration and repair of the Premises) as Landlord, in its discretion, may determine, and Landlord may collect and receive the Rent due in connection therewith. Landlord shall not be required to accept any tenant offered by Tenant or any third party or observe any instruction given by Tenant relative to such reletting. Landlord will in no way be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Premises, or any part of the Premises, or for any failure to collect any rent due upon such reletting. No such reentry or taking possession by Landlord will be construed as an election on Landlord’s part to terminate this Lease. No written notice from Landlord under this Article XXI or under a forcible or unlawful entry and detainer statute or similar law will constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless such notice specifically so states. Landlord reserves the right following any such reentry or reletting to exercise its right to terminate this Lease by giving Tenant such written notice, in which event this Lease will terminate as specified in such notice.

Section 21.3.    Damages Without Lease Termination. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, but on the contrary elects to take possession of the Premises, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies of Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (i) Rent and other sums as provided in this Lease that would be payable under this Lease if such repossession had not occurred, less (ii) the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Premises after deducting all of Landlord’s reasonable expenses in connection with such reletting, including without limitation all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees, expenses of employees, alteration and repair costs, and expenses of preparation for such reletting. If, in connection with any reletting, the new lease term extends beyond the Term, or the Premises covered by such new lease includes other premises not part of the Premises, a fair apportionment of the rent received from such reletting will be made in determining the net proceeds from such reletting. Tenant will pay such Rent and other sums to Landlord monthly on the day on which such sums would have been payable under this Lease if possession had not been retaken, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive such Rent and other sums from Tenant on each such day.

 

  35   Manteca, CA


Section 21.4.    Damages Upon Lease Termination. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies of Landlord, Tenant shall remain liable to pay to Landlord as damages an amount equal to (i) all Rent due hereunder accrued and unpaid for the period up to and including the date of termination, plus (ii) all other additional sums payable by Tenant or for which Tenant is liable or in respect of which Tenant has agreed to indemnify Landlord under any of the provisions of this Lease, which may then be owing and unpaid, plus (iii) all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in the enforcement of any of its rights and remedies hereunder, plus (iv) the present value [based upon a discount rate of five percent (5%) per annum] of the Rent provided to be paid for the remainder of the Term, plus (v) interest on the foregoing amounts at the Delinquency Rate from the date of Landlord’s notice to Tenant demanding payment therefor until paid.

In the alternative, Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to recover from Tenant upon demand, and Tenant shall remain liable to pay Landlord for: (i) all Rent and other amounts due and owing under this Lease not previously paid pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, plus (ii) damages equal to the sum of: (y) all Rent and all other sums which would have accrued under this Lease after the date of termination had it not been terminated, such damages to be due and payable as such sums would have become due, less (z) such amounts as Landlord may actually receive from reletting after first paying all costs of such reletting, including, without limitation, the expenses enumerated in Section 21.3 and the net amounts of rent collected remaining after such expenses shall operate only as an off setting credit against the amount due hereunder with any excess or residue belonging solely to Landlord, plus interest on the foregoing sum at the Delinquency Rate from the date of Landlord’s notice to Tenant demanding payment therefor until paid. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease following an Event of Default, Landlord shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages to the extent required by Applicable Laws.

Section 21.5.    Survival of Tenant Obligations. Neither the expiration or termination of this Lease, nor the taking of possession and/or reletting of the Premises or any part thereof, shall relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, except as specifically provided herein, and all of Tenant’s liabilities and obligations under this Lease shall survive such expiration, termination, repossession or reletting except as otherwise specifically provided.

Section 21.6.    Waiver.

A.    To the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, Tenant hereby waives and releases all rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise which would have the effect of limiting or modifying any of the provisions of this Article XXI.

B.    No failure by either party to insist upon the strict performance by the other party of any covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no payment or acceptance of full or partial Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such covenant, agreement, term or condition. No covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease to be performed or completed with by either party, and no breach thereof, shall be waived, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by the other party. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every covenant, agreement, term and condition of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach thereof.

Section 21.7.    Suits to Recover Damages. Suit or suits for the recovery of damages, or for a sum equal to any installment or installments of Rent payable hereunder or any other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease, may be brought by Landlord at any time and from time to time at

 

  36   Manteca, CA


Landlord’s election, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Landlord to await the date whereon this Lease or the Term would have expired had there been no Event of Default.

Section 21.8.    Receipt of Payment after Termination. No receipt of moneys by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, or after the giving of any notice of the termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term or affect any notice theretofore given to Tenant, or operate as a waiver of the right of Landlord to enforce the payment of Rent payable by Tenant hereunder or thereafter falling due, or operate as a waiver of the right of Landlord to recover possession of the Premises or any part thereof by proper remedy, it being agreed that after the service of notice to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession or the commencement of any suit or summary proceedings, or after a final order or judgment for the possession of the Premises, or any part thereof or interest therein, Landlord may demand, receive and collect any moneys due or thereafter falling due without in any manner affecting such notice, proceeding, order, suit or judgment, all such moneys collected being deemed payments on account of the Tenant’s liability hereunder.

Section 21.9.    Cumulative Remedies. No remedy contained herein or otherwise conferred upon or reserved to Landlord shall be considered exclusive of any other remedy, but the same shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given herein, now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, and every power and remedy given by this Lease to Landlord may be exercised from time to time and as often as occasion may arise or as may be deemed expedient. No delay or omission of Landlord to exercise any right, remedy or power arising from any Event of Default shall impair any such right, remedy or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.

Section 21.10.    Landlord Default. If Landlord fails to perform any agreement on the part of Landlord contained in this Lease and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice thereof in writing by Tenant to Landlord or if such failure or condition which gives rise thereto cannot with due diligence and good faith be cured within such thirty (30) day period, if Landlord shall not in within the period of thirty (30) days commence the curing of such failure and pursue the curing of such failure diligently to the end that such failure shall be cured within such minimum period in excess of thirty (30) days as may be reasonably necessary to cure such failure through pursuing such cure diligently, then, as Tenant’s sole remedy, Tenant may (i) undertake to cure such default on behalf of Landlord, and (ii) thereupon Landlord agrees to pay Tenant, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a demand from Tenant, all actual and reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Tenant in taking such remedial actions, as evidenced by invoices, lien waivers and other documentation reasonably requested by Landlord. Notwithstanding any other term or provision contained in this Lease, Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease as a result of a default or breach of this Lease by Landlord.

ARTICLE XXII - LANDLORD’S PERFORMANCE OF TENANT’S COVENANTS

Section 22.1.    Landlord’s Right to Perform Tenant’s Obligations. If Tenant shall fail to perform any of its obligations hereunder within the time period (if any) set forth herein, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to do so), in addition to any other remedies available at law, in equity, or pursuant to this Lease and without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligation of Tenant hereunder, make any payment or perform any other act which Tenant is obligated to make or perform under this Lease. All sums so paid and all liabilities so incurred by Landlord, together with interest thereon at the Delinquency Rate, shall be payable to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written demand as Additional Rent.

ARTICLE XXIII - SUBORDINATION TO MORTGAGES

Subject to Tenant’s receipt of such nondisturbance and attornment agreement, if any such mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason, at the election of Landlord’s successor in interest, Tenant shall attorn to and become the tenant of such successor in which event Tenant’s right to possession and quiet enjoyment of the Premises will not be disturbed as long as there is no Event of Default under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any mortgagee under a Mortgage may, by notice in writing to the Tenant, subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease. Landlord represents to Tenant that, as of the date of this Lease, Landlord has not entered into a Mortgage that encumbers the Premises.

Section 3.1.    General. The Association is a non-profit corporation duly formed and existing under the laws of the State of California, and it is charged with the duties and vested with the powers prescribed by

 

D-11


this Declaration. The Bylaws shall not be amended or otherwise changed or interpreted so as to be inconsistent with this Declaration.

Section 3.2.    Duties and Powers of the Association. In addition to the duties and powers enumerated elsewhere herein, and without limiting the generalities thereof, the Association shall:

A.    Maintain or cause to be maintained all of the Amenities in accordance with Section 4.1 below;

B.    Levy and collect assessments to provide such funds as may be required from time to time for the foregoing purposes as determined by the Board of Directors, and shall have and possess all such powers as shall be necessary or appropriate for the accomplishment of such duties and functions;

C.    Establish and maintain working capital and contingency funds, and establish and collect reserves, in such amounts as may be reasonably determined by the Board of Directors from time-to-time;

D.    Insure the Amenities against casualties and liabilities;

E.    Own the Amenities and other real and personal property and fixtures, open bank accounts, contract for legal and accounting services, challenge, in the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors, real estate tax assessments, grant, in the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors, easements, employ such contractors as is reasonably necessary to undertake the duties of the Association, and otherwise do that which is necessary to protect or defend the Association and the Amenities from loss or damage, by suit or otherwise, including, but not limited to, security guards;

F.    Accept future conveyances of land for Roadways; and

G.    Enforce the restrictions contained in this Declaration.

Section 3.3.    Funds. All funds collected by the Association shall be held and expended for the purposes designated herein and in the other Governing Documents. All such funds shall be deemed to be held for the benefit, use and account of the Association.

Section 3.4.    Membership. The Association shall have two (2) classes of Members:

A.    Class A: Class A Members shall be such Persons as, from time to time, are Lot Owners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Mortgagee shall be a Member until it becomes the Lot Owner. The beneficiary of any land trust holding title to a Lot shall be the Member for such Lot, rather than the trustee or the trust. A Person’s membership in the Association shall automatically terminate upon the conveyance of its Lot, other than by lease or mortgage, at which time said Lot Owner’s successor in title shall automatically become a Member. No Member shall have any right or power to disclaim, terminate or withdraw from its membership in the Association or from any of its obligations as a Member, except as specifically provided herein.

B.    Class B: The Class B Member shall be the Declarant, which shall be entitled to the sole Vote in the Association until the Declarant (1) has subdivided all of the Property and (2) owns or controls Lots which in the aggregate constitute less than 10% of the land area of all of the Lots, at which time the Class B membership will be deemed to have terminated and the Declarant shall become a Class A Member with respect to the Lots it owns. It is understood that the Declarant may

 

D-12


transfer, assign or relinquish all or part of its right, title and interest, and the powers enuring pursuant to its Class B membership hereunder, which assignment shall become effective upon the delivery of the instrument of assignment to the Association. For purposes of this Section 3.4(b), the conveyance by the Declarant of legal title to any Lot or Lots to a different entity which holds legal title for the benefit of the Declarant or in which the Declarant is the controlling party, or to a partnership of which Declarant owns a 20% or greater partnership interest, or to a corporation of which Declarant owns 20% or more of the common stock, or to a limited liability company of which Declarant owns a 20% or more share of the membership interests, shall not constitute a sale or transfer by Declarant.

Section 3.5.    Voting Rights. There shall be only one Person with respect to each Lot who shall be entitled to cast that Lot’s Votes at any meeting of the Association. Such Person shall be known as a “Voting Member.” Such Voting Member shall be the Lot Owner, or the Person designated by such Lot Owner in writing to act as proxy on behalf of that Lot Owner. Such designation shall be made in writing to the Board of Directors and shall be revocable at any time by actual notice to the Board of Directors by the Lot Owner; provided that the Board of Directors may establish a number of days (not to exceed 60 days) prior to any meeting of the Members after which changes to the list of Voting Members may not be made. In any case in which fee title to a Lot is vested in more than one Person, the Voting Member and the Vote(s) for such Lot shall be determined among such Persons constituting the Lot Owner as they may see fit, but no more than one Voting Member shall represent any Lot. In case no Voting Member is designated by the Lot Owner with respect to its Lot, any notice required to be given herein to the Voting Member may be directed to any one or more of the Lot Owners of such Lot.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sole Voting Member and all 100% of the Votes in the Association, shall vest in the Declarant as the Class B Member, and the Class A Voting Members shall have no Votes at meetings of the Association, until such time as the Class B membership is terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4(b) above.

Section 3.6.    Meetings.

A.    General. Meetings of the Voting Members shall be held at the Property or at such other place in the State of California, as may be designated in any notice of a meeting. The presence in person or by proxy at any meeting of the Association by Voting Members having 25% or more of all Votes shall constitute a quorum; except that, so long as there is a Class B Membership, attendance by the Class B Member shall constitute a quorum. Except as otherwise provided in the Governing Documents, all actions taken by the Members shall be taken or decided by a majority of the Votes held by the Voting Members in attendance at meeting at which there is a quorum; except that, so long as there is a Class B Membership, the vote of the Class B Member shall constitute a unanimous vote.

B.    Annual Meeting. The initial meeting of the Association, if not previously held, shall be held within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date hereof. Thereafter, there shall be an annual meeting of the Association during each calendar year at such time and date as may be designated by written notice of the Board of Directors given not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for such meeting; which shall be held during the fourth quarter of each calendar year.

C.    Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Association may be called at any time for the purpose of considering matters which, by the terms of this Declaration, require the approval of the Members, or for any other purpose. Said meetings shall be called by written notice to the Members as authorized by the Board of Directors, or by Voting Members having not less than 30% percent of the Votes, and given not less than fourteen (14) days or such longer period as may be specifically required by this Declaration with respect to the subject matter of such meeting, prior to the date fixed

Any such notices shall be either (i) sent by United States mail, in which case the notice shall be deemed delivered three (3) days after deposit, postage pre-paid, in the United States mail, (ii) sent by overnight delivery using a nationally-recognized courier, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered one (1) day after deposit with such courier or (iii) by personal hand delivery, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered at the time of the personal hand delivery.

Section 3.7.    Board of Directors.

A.    General. At the initial meeting of the Association, and at each annual meeting thereafter, a Board of Directors shall be elected by a majority of the Votes held by the Voting Members in attendance at a meeting at which there is a quorum. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.7(b), the Board of Directors shall serve a term of one year and until successors are elected and qualified pursuant to the By-Laws.

B.    Vacancies. Any vacancy on the Board of Directors may be filled for the remainder of the terms so vacated by a majority of the Votes held by the Voting Members in attendance at a meeting at which there is a quorum.

At any annual or special meeting of the Association duly called, any member of the Board of Directors may be removed with or without cause by a majority of the Votes held by the Voting Members in attendance at a meeting at which there is a quorum, and a successor may then and there be elected to fill the vacancy thus created.

D.    Exercise of Powers and Duties Prior to Election of Board of Directors. Until the first Board of Directors is elected pursuant to this Section 3.7, the Declarant shall have and exercise the powers and duties of the Board of Directors.

Section 3.8.    Powers and Duties of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall have all lawful powers and duties for the management and administration of the affairs of the Association and may do all such lawful acts as are not specifically required to be done by the Lot Owners pursuant to the Governing Documents.

Section 3.9.    Rules and Regulations. The Board of Directors shall also have the power to adopt, amend and repeal Roadway Use Regulations, so long as they are not inconsistent with the Governing Documents. A copy of the Roadway Use Regulations, as they may from time to time be adopted, shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to the Lot Owners upon written request. In the event of any conflict between any such Roadway Use Regulations and any provisions of the Governing Documents, the inconsistent provisions of the Roadway Use Regulations shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of the Governing Documents. The Association shall enforce the Roadway Use Regulations, or cause same to be enforced by agents or contractors or by the City pursuant to a written agreement.

ASSESSMENTS

Section 5.1.    Member’s Proportionate Share of Costs. All Members of the Association shall pay their pro rata share of the Association Costs, all in accordance with the following formula:

Square Footage of Lot ÷ Total Square Feet of all Lots = Member’s Proportionate Share (expressed as a percent)

Section 5.2.    Liability for Payment. The payment of a Member’s Proportionate Share of the assessments for Association Costs shall be the personal liability of each Lot Owner during its period of ownership of the applicable Lot. In the event that record title to a Lot is held in trust, then the beneficiary or beneficiaries of such trust shall also be liable for payment of the Member’s Proportionate Share of the assessments.

Section 5.3.    Property Lien. All unpaid assessments and charges imposed on a Lot Owner pursuant to this Declaration, together with interest thereon as provided in Section 5.5, and the costs of collection, if any (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs), shall constitute a judicially enforceable lien against the Lot upon the recordation of a notice of lien, identifying said Lot, in the Office of the Recorder of Will County, Illinois, unless and until a release thereof shall likewise be duly filed.

Section 5.4.    Amount of Assessment. The initial annual assessment and all subsequent assessments shall be fixed by the Board of Directors, giving due consideration to anticipated Association Costs (including reasonable reserves) as determined by the Board of Directors for the next succeeding twelve (12) month period. All assessments shall be payable to the Association. Commencing with the first fiscal year of the Association and for each fiscal year thereafter, the Board of Directors shall estimate in writing the anticipated Association Costs and the same shall be: (i) assessed against each Member in accordance with each such Member’s Proportionate Share and (ii) paid by each Lot Owner not more frequently than quarterly unless the Board of Directors shall otherwise direct, in each case no later than thirty (30) days after the bills are delivered to the Lot Owners in accordance with Section 9.8 below. Such estimate shall take into consideration the cost of or reserves for any contemplated current or future repairs, replacements or renewals. If the assessments levied, paid or collected prove inadequate for any reason (including non-payment of any Lot Owner’s assessment) or fail to provide funds reasonably estimated to be required for the remainder of the Association’s fiscal year, then the Board of Directors may change the total assessments payable hereunder by giving written notice thereof (together with a revised estimate) to each Member not less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the revised assessment. At least once each year the Board of Directors shall deliver to each Member a statement of actual costs for the prior year, along with a reconciliation of estimated assessments with actual costs and reserves. The Board of Directors shall have the power to levy additional or special assessments as it deems reasonably necessary to carry out this Declaration. Each Member’s Proportionate Share of the assessments shall be computed in accordance with the formula set forth in Section 5.1 hereof. Any Member shall have the right to examine the Association’s records relative to any assessment during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice; provided that said Member bears all costs of said examination. All assessments shall be prorated as of the date title transfers to a new Lot Owner.

 

D-16


Section 5.5.    Non-Payment of Assessment.

There shall be an Architectural Control Committee (hereinafter referred to as the “Committee”) comprised of three (3) Persons appointed by the Board (and the members of the Board may be members of said committee). No member of the Committee shall be entitled to any salary for serving thereon, but reasonable fees may be paid to any consultants for services rendered to the Committee.

Section 7.2.    Approval. No Improvements, sign, fence, wall or any other structure, nor any landscaping, including but not limited to grading, shall be commenced, erected or enlarged, nor any change or alteration to the exterior thereon, be made until the plans and specifications, including but not limited to architectural and engineering, showing the nature, kind, shape, height, materials, color and location of the same, shall have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Committee. It is understood that the Committee intends to have all plans and specifications submitted for approval to licensed engineers and architects selected by the Committee. It is understood that all costs and fees incurred by the Committee in conjunction with such plan review, shall be paid by the party submitting said plans for approval.

The Committee shall have the right to disapprove plans, specifications or details submitted to it in the event the same are not in accordance with the Declaration or if they are contrary to the best interests of the Property or other Lot Owners, as determined by the Committee in its discretion. In this connection the Committee may base its approval or disapproval on, among other things: (i) the adequacy of site dimensions, (ii) conformity and harmony of external design with neighboring structures, (iii) the effect of location and use of proposed Improvements on neighboring sites and the types of operations and uses thereof, (iv) the relation of topography, grade and finish ground elevation of the Lot being improved to that of neighboring sites, (v) proper facing of main elevation with respect to nearby streets, (vi) the adequacy of screening of mechanical, air conditioning or other rooftop installations, and (vii) the conformity of the plans and specifications to the purpose and general plan and intent of this Declaration.

However, during said 30-day period of time, it may be determined by the Committee that an additional period of time will be necessary to approve or disapprove any plans submitted, and in that regard the Committee may notify the parties submitting the plans for approval that an additional thirty (30) days time is required.

Section 7.3.    Limitation of Liability. Neither the Committee, the Board of Directors nor the Association shall be liable, in damages or otherwise, to anyone submitting plans and specifications for approval, or to any Owner affected by this Declaration, by reason of mistake of judgment, negligence, or nonfeasance arising out of or in connection with the approval or disapproval or failure to approve or to disapprove any plans and specifications. Every person who submits plans to the Committee for approval agrees, by submission of such plans, and every Lot Owner, Occupant and mortgagee of any of the Lots agrees, by acquiring title thereto or an interest therein, that it will not bring any action or suit against the Committee or any member of the Committee, to recover damages; provided, however, in the event any Lot Owner believes that the Committee has acted unreasonably or arbitrarily, such Lot Owner shall have the right to seek specific performance of standards for approval under this Declaration or similar equitable relief, in any court of competent jurisdiction located in San Joaquin, California.
