15901 OLDEN STREET, SYLMAR AND 11171 CHERRY AVENUE, FONTANA PROPERTIES LEASE

This Lease (“Lease”) is made and effective, June 1, 2014, by and between Ronald N. Tutor, (“Lessor”) and Tutor Perini Corporation (“Lessee”), (collectively the “Parties,” or individually a “Party”).

Lessor is the owner of land and improvements commonly known and numbered as Assessor’s parcel number 2604-002-019, located at 15901 Olden Street, Sylmar California 91342 (“Property A”), and Assessor’s parcel number 0236-191-25-0-000, located at 11171 Cherry Avenue, Fontana, California 92337 (“Property B”), (collectively the “Premises”).

Lessor is currently leasing the Premises to Lessee under a lease dated June 10, 1987 as last amended August 1, 2008 (“Prior Lease”).

Lessor desires to terminate the Prior Lease and lease the Premises to Lessee, and Lessee desires to terminate the Prior Lease and lease the Premises from the Lessor for the term. At the rental and upon the covenants, conditions and provisions herein set forth.

THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, it is agreed:

1.              Prior Lease. The Prior Lease is hereby terminated effective May 31, 2014.

2.              Term. Term. The term of this Lease shall commence on June 1, 2014 and end on July 31, 2026, unless sooner terminated pursuant to any provision hereof.

3.              Rent. Lessee shall pay to Lessor the monthly lease rate of One Hundred Thousand Three Hundred Ninety-One Dollars ($100,391) for Property A and Forty-Three Thousand Twenty-Five Dollars ($43,025) for Property B for the period June 1, 2014 through May 31, 2015 and shall increase annually thereafter at the rate of the greater of 3% or the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Each installment payment shall be due in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the lease term to Lessor at 15901 Olden Street, Sylmar, California 91342 or at such other place designated by written notice from Lessor to Lessee. Rent for any period during the term hereof which is for less than one month shall be a pro rata portion of the monthly installment.

4.              Security Deposit. Lessor acknowledges deposit by Lessee of $96,250 as security for Lessee’s faithful performance of Lessee’s obligations hereunder. If Lessee fails to pay rent or other charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this lease, Lessor may use, apply or retain all or any portion or said deposit for the payment of any rent or other charge in default or for the payment of any other sum to which Lessor may become obligated by reason of Lessee’s default, or to compensate Lessor for any loss or damage which Lessor may suffer thereby. If Lessor so uses or applies all or any portion of said deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after written demand therefor deposit cash with Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to the full amount herein above stated and Lessee’s failure to do so shall be a material breach or this Lease. If the monthly rent shall, from time to time, increase during the term or this Lease, Lessee shall thereupon deposit with Lessor additional security deposit so that the amount of security deposit held by Lessor shall at all times bear the same proportion to current rent as the original security deposit bears to the original monthly rent set forth in paragraph 4 hereof. Lessor shall not be required to keep said deposit separate from its general accounts. If Lessee performs all of Lessee’s obligations hereunder, said deposit, or so much thereof as has not theretofore been applied by Lessor, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other increment for its use, to Lessee (or, at Lessor’s option, to the last assignee, if any, or Lessee’s interest hereunder) at the expiration of the term hereof, and after Lessee has vacated the Premises. No trust relationship is created herein between Lessor and Lessee with respect to said Security Deposit.

exhausting remedies against said assignee. Lessor may consent to subsequent assignments or subletting of this Lease or amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Lessee, without notifying Lessee, or any predecessor of Lessee, and without obtaining Lessee’s consent thereto and such action shall not relieve Lessee of liability under this Lease.

In the event Lessee shall assign or sublet the Premises or request the consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting or if Lessee shall request the consent of Lessor for any act Lessee proposes to do then Lessee shall pay Lessor’s reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection therewith, such attorney’s fees not to exceed $350.00 for each such request.

13.       Defaults; Remedies.

(a)                                 Defaults. The occurrence of any of or more of the following events shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Lessee:

(i)                                     The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee.

(ii)                                  The failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or any other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due, where such failure shall continue for a period of three days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee. In the event that Lessor serves Lessee with a Notice to Pay Rent or Quit pursuant to applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes such Notice to Pay Rent or Quit shall also constitute the notice required by the subparagraph.

(iii)                               The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee, other than described in paragraph (ii) above, where such failure shall continue for a period of 30 days are reasonably required for its cure, then Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default if Lessee commenced such cure within said 30-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.

(iv)                              (1) The making by Lessee of any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors; (2) Lessee becomes a “debtor” as defined in 11 U.S.C. SS101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within 60 days); (3) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Lessee’s assets located at the Premises or of Lessee’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Lessee within 30 days; or (4) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee’s assets located at the Premises or of Lessee’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within 30 days. Provided, however, in the event that any provision of this paragraph 13(d)(iv) is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect.

(v)                                 The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement given to Lessor by Lessee, any assignee of Lessee, any subtenant of Lessee, any successor in interest of Lessee or any guarantor of Lessee’s obligation hereunder, and any of them, was materially false.

(b)                                 Remedies. In the event of any such material default or breach by Lessee, Lessor may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such default or breach:

(i)            Terminate Lessee’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such event Lessor shall be entitles to recover from Lessee all damages incurred by Lessor by reason of Lessee’s default including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering possession of the Premises; expenses of re-letting, including necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorney’s fees, and any real estate commission actually paid; the worth at the time exceeds the amount of such rental loss for the same period that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; that portion of the leasing commission paid by Lessor pursuant to paragraph 15 applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease.

(ii)         Maintain Lessee’s right to possession in which case this Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Lessee shall have abandoned the Premises. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to enforce all of Lessor’s rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as it becomes due hereunder.

(iii)      Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Lessor under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are located. Unpaid installments of rent and other unpaid monetary obligations of Lessee under the terms of this Lease shall bear interest from the date due at the maximum rate then allowable by law.

(c)                                  Default by Lessor. Lessor shall not be in default unless Lessor fails to perform obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Lessee in writing, specifying wherein Lessor has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance then Lessor shall not be in default if Lessor commences performance within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.

(d)                                 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sum due from Lessee shall not be received by Lessor or Lessor’s designee within ten (10) days after such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to 6% of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, or three (3) consecutive installments of rent, then rent shall automatically become due and payable quarterly in advance, rather than monthly, notwithstanding paragraph 3 or any other provision of this Lease to the contrary.

(e)                                  Impounds. In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3) installments of rent or any other monetary obligation of Lessee under the terms of this Lease, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, if Lessor shall so request. In addition to any other payments required under this Lease, a monthly advance installment, payable at the same time as the monthly rent, as estimated by Lessor, for real property tax and insurance expenses on the Premises which are payable by Lessee under the terms of this Lease. Such fund shall be established to insure payment when due, before delinquency, of any or all such real property taxes and insurance premiums. If the amounts paid to Lessor by Lessee under the provisions of this paragraph are insufficient to discharge the obligations of Lessee to pay such real property taxes and insurance premiums as the same become due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, upon Lessor’s demand, such additional sums necessary to pay such obligations. All moneys paid to Lessor under this paragraph may be intermingled with other moneys of Lessor and shall not bear interest. In the event of a default in the obligations of Lessee to perform under this Lease, then any balance remaining from funds paid to Lessor under the provisions of this paragraph may, at the option of Lessor, be applied to the payment of any monetary default of Lessee in lieu of being applied to the payment of real property tax and insurance premiums.

14.       Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power (all of which are herein called “condemnation”), this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs. If more than 10% of the floor area of the building on the Premises, or more than 25% of the land area of the Premises which is not occupied by any building, is taken by condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessee’s option, to be exercised in writing only within ten (10) days after Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority shall have taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the rent shall be reduced in the proportion that the floor area of the building taken bears to the total floor area of the building situated on the Premises. No reduction of rent shall occur if the only area taken is that which does not have a building located thereon. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises under the power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such power shall be the property of Lessor, whether such and shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for the taking of the fee, or as severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any award for loss of or damage to Lessee’s trade fixtures and removable personal property. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of severance damages received by Lessor in connection with such condemnation, repair any damage to the Premises cause by such condemnation except to the extent that Lessee has been reimbursed therefor by the condemning authority, Lessee shall pay any amount in excess of such severance damages required to complete such repair.

15.       Broker’s Fee. Tenant represents that Tenant was not shown the Premises by any real estate broker or agent and that Tenant has not otherwise engaged in any activity which could form the basis for a claim for real estate commission, brokerage fee, finder’s fee or other similar charge, in collection with this lease.

16.       Estoppel Certificate.

Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises.

(b)                                 At Lessor’s option Lessee’s failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be a material breach of this Lease or shall be conclusive upon Lessee (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represent by Lessor, (ii) that there are no uncured defaults in Lessor’s performance, and (iii) that not more than one month’s rent has been paid in advance or such failure may be considered by Lessor as a default by Lessee under this Lease.

(c)                                  If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Premises, or any part thereof, Lessee hereby agrees to deliver to any lender or purchaser designated by Lessor such financial statements of Lessee as may be reasonably required by such lender or purchaser. Such statements shall include the past three years’ financial statements of Lessee. All such financial statements shall be received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser in confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth.

17.       Lessor’s Liability. The term “Lessor” as used herein shall mean only the owner or owners at the time in question of the fee title or a lessee’s Interest in a ground lease of the Premises, and except as expressly provided in paragraph 15, in the event of any transfer of such title or Interest, lessor herein named (and In case of any subsequent transfers then the granter) shall be relieved from and after the date of such transfer of all liability as respects Lessor’s obligations thereafter to be performed, provided that any funds in the hands of Lessor or the then grantor at the lime of such transfer, in which Lessee has an interest, shall be delivered to the grantee.

18.       Severability. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the validity of any other provision hereof.

19.       Interest on Past-due Obligations. Except as expressly herein provided, any amount due to Lessor not paid when due shall bear interest at the maximum rate then allowable by law from the date due. Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Lessee under this Lease, provided, however, that interest shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Lessee nor on any amounts upon which late charges are paid by Lessee.

20.       Time of Essence. Time is of the essence.

21.       Additional Rent. Any monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the terms of this Lease shall be deemed to be rent.

23.       Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and may be given or personal delivery or by certified mail, and if given personally or by mall, shall be deemed sufficiently given if addressed to Lessee or to Lessor at the address noted below the signature of the respective parties, as the case may be. Either party may by notice to the other specify a different address for notice purposes except that upon Lessee’s taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute Lessee’s address for notice purposes. A copy of all notices required or permitted to be given to Lessor hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor may from time to time hereafter designate by notice to Lessee.

24.       Waivers. No waiver by Lessor or any provision hereof shall be deemed a waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Lessee of the same or any other provision. Lessor’s consent to, or approval of, any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Lessee. The acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any provision hereof, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Lessor’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent.

25.       Recording. Either Lessor or Lessee shall, upon request of the other, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a “short form” memorandum of this Lease for recording purposes.

27.       Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity.

28.       Covenants and Conditions. Each provision of this Lease performable by Lessee shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition.

29.       Binding Effect; Choice of Law.
