FT6. When applying granular fertilizers to drip-irrigated areas, the fertilizer must be washed in by hand or rainfall before turning on the drip system. Running the drip system immediately after will push the fertilizer away from the emitters, resulting in a high concentration of fertilizer at the edge of the wetted zone. The highly-concentrated fertilizer can kill or damage plants. It is recommended that granular fertilizers be applied to drip-irrigation areas only in the early spring and fall, just prior to a moderate rainfall.

FT7. Itemized receipts for fertilizer and other required soil amendments purchased (or for services of a fertilizer application company) must be submitted to the SCA as proof of application.

Staff recommends that the City Council approves a goods and services agreement with Ferguson Enterprises, LLC, doing business as Ferguson Waterworks, for the purchase of as-needed water meters and meter parts in an amount not to exceed $450,000.

SUMMARY:

The city’s approved Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget includes anticipated revenue from water meter sales and corresponding expenditures for meters associated with development projects. The budget also provides funding to replace inefficient and out-of-warranty meters and metering equipment.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The city meters customer water consumption to support the recovery of costs associated with providing water service. Ferguson Waterworks is the exclusive distributor of Neptune water meters, meter-reading systems, replacement parts, and automated meter technologies used by the city.

Standardizing metering equipment through a single vendor ensures consistency across the city's metering system, reduces long-term maintenance and replacement costs, and enables staff to maintain and service standardized equipment.

The city currently maintains more than 25,000 active water service connections, all equipped with Neptune radio-read metering technology. All new development projects are required to install citysupplied Neptune radio-read meters. Neptune meters have demonstrated long-term reliability and durability under field conditions.

SUMMARY:

The Information Technology Department requests approval to purchase Microsoft Windows Server 2025 licenses and Client Access Licenses, commonly referred to as CALs, from SHI International Corp. The purchase will provide the City with the necessary licensing to support current and future server infrastructure, maintain compliance with Microsoft licensing requirements, and ensure continued delivery of secure and reliable technology services to City departments. The City proposes to procure the licenses through SHI International Corp. using the County of Riverside Microsoft licensing agreement, which is available for use by public agencies in California. Utilizing this cooperative purchasing agreement allows the City to obtain competitively procured pricing and reduces the administrative time and cost associated with conducting a separate solicitation.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The City relies on Microsoft Windows Server technology to operate essential network, application, file, database, public safety, and administrative systems. These systems support daily operations across City departments and require current and properly licensed server operating systems and access licenses.

Windows Server 2025 is Microsoft’s current server operating system platform and provides updated security, performance, management, and hybrid cloud capabilities. The purchase of Windows Server 2025 licenses and CALs will allow the City to modernize its server environment, replace or upgrade aging server licenses where appropriate, and maintain compliance for users and devices accessing City server resources.

Client Access Licenses are required for users and/or devices that access Windows Server services.

The proposed purchase includes the required Windows Server 2025 server licensing and CALs necessary to support the City’s operating environment.

Spectrum provides essential internet, telephone, and cable services that support the City’s daily operations and public service delivery. These services are necessary for access to City systems, cloud-based applications, email, internal and external communications, and other operational needs across City facilities.

The City has existing Spectrum infrastructure and services in place, include the required lines for the PSEC radio connection between the Indio Police Department and Riverside County Sheriff Department. Continuing service with Spectrum avoids disruption to critical communications, reduces transition risk, and prevents additional costs associated with replacing equipment, installing new circuits, reconfiguring systems, and coordinating service cutovers. For these reasons, continued purchase of internet, phone, and cable services from Spectrum is recommended to maintain reliable and uninterrupted municipal operations.

STAFF REPORT
To: City Council
From: Jonathan Nicks, City Manager
Prepared by: Miguel Ramirez-Cornejo, Dir. of Economic Development Conflict: Yes Member: Elaine Holmes
Subject: Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Commercial Lease Agreement with Downtowne Bookstore, Inc. for City-Owned Property Located at 82713 and 82719 Miles Avenue and Approving a Tenant Improvement Allowance in an Amount Not to Exceed $120,000
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager, or the City Manager’s designee, to execute a Commercial Lease Agreement with Downtowne Bookstore, Inc., a California corporation, for City-owned property located at 82713 and 82719 Miles Avenue; approving a tenant improvement allowance in an amount not to exceed $120,000; and authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to finalize and execute all necessary exhibits and related documents, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney
SUMMARY:

Staff received a proposal from Downtowne Bookstore, to open the first independent bookstore in Downtown Indio and is seeking to lease 82713 and 82719 Miles Avenue, totaling approximately 3,456 square feet. Downtowne Bookstore has operated in Downtown Riverside for over 45 years and recently expanded in 2025. Owned by Dr. Jungmiwha Bullock Nelson, the proposed Indio location will build on its established model by offering a selection of books and merchandise while serving as a community-focused literary and cultural hub, hosting author events, arts programming, and providing a welcoming space for students, families, and residents, while supporting local and regional creatives. Therefore, staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to execute the Commercial Lease Agreement with Downtowne Bookstore (Attachment 1), as the proposed use supports the City's ongoing efforts to attract destination-oriented businesses and activate commercial space within Downtown. Downtown Indio continues to experience significant public and private investment, with more than $200 million invested in completed, active, and planned projects throughout the Downtown. Recent business openings, including Dune Room, The Place, Saguaro Coffee, Indio Taphouse, Italica, Gabino's Creperie, Desert Beer Co, Everbloom, Donna Forte Pizza Bar & Grill, and Nexus House have contributed to Downtown's continued revitalization, while additional projects currently under construction or expected to commence in the near future. These investments also include the College of the Desert campus expansion, a new Child Development Center, and more than 110 mixed-use apartment units. The proposed lease is consistent with the Downtown Specific Plan and will further stimulate new investment, create new jobs, and generate additional sales tax revenue for the community.

AGENDA ITEM #9.20
Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Commercial Lease Agreement with ... Page 849 of 1638 BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Adopted in April 2020, the Downtown Specific Plan created the blueprint for the revitalization of Downtown Indio. The goal of the Downtown Specific Plan is to promote economic development and revitalization to make Downtown Indio a compelling local and regional destination.

In terms of the General Plan, the properties on Miles Avenue are within the Downtown Specific Plan zoned Downtown-Core (DT-C) characterized by lively, pedestrian-oriented retail and restaurant uses. Goal ED-7 of the General Plan states that an economic development goal is to have “A City with the destination hospitality, retail, and entertainment opportunities to meet the needs of visitors and residents.” Additional entertainment and hospitality uses will conform to such a goal as part of the City's economic development strategy. Accordingly, the proposed lease is consistent with the General Plan and staff recommends that the City Council find that the lease of the property is in conformance with the General Plan.

Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Commercial Lease Agreement with ... Page 853 of 1638 3 federal laws, ordinances and regulations and any covenants or restrictions of record (collectively “Applicable Laws”) and the present and future suitability of the Premises for Tenant’s intended use; (b) that Tenant has made such investigation as it deems necessary with reference to such matters, is satisfied with reference thereto, and assumes all responsibility therefore as the same relate to Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises and/or the terms of this Lease; and (c) that neither Landlord, nor any of Landlord’s agents, has made any oral or written representations or warranties with respect to said matters other than as set forth in this Lease.

A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law.

The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises.

ARTICLE III
PAYMENT OF MONTHLY RENT; SECURITY DEPOSIT; LATE CHARGES

3.1 Payment of Rent. Monthly Rent shall be paid in advance on or before the first calendar day of each month during the Term. If the Term commences on a calendar day other than that first calendar day of the month or ends on a calendar day other than that last calendar day of a calendar month, then Monthly Rent will be appropriately prorated by Landlord based on the actual number of calendar days in such month. If the Term commences on a calendar day other than the first calendar day of a calendar month, then the prorated Monthly Rent for such month shall be paid on or before the first calendar day of the Term. Monthly Rent shall be paid to Landlord without written notice or demand, and without offset, in lawful money of the United States of America at Landlord' s address, or to such other address as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.

3.2 Rent Adjustment and Improvements. In consideration of the two years’ rent abatement provided for in section 1.5 hereof, Tenant will, at its sole cost and expense, design and construct tenant improvements for the operation of a book and merchandise store, together with a community-focused literary and cultural hub for hosting related events and arts programming.

All changes are subject to the City’s written approval.

3.3 Security Deposit. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, including but not limited to the provisions related to the payment of Monthly Rent, Landlord may use, apply, or retain all or any part of the Deposit for the payment of rent, any other sum in default, or for the payment of any other amount Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant' s default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant' s default. If any portion of the Deposit is so used, applied, or retained, Tenant shall with five (5) calendar days after written demand deposit cash with the Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Deposit to its original amount. Landlord

Page 7 of 30 ends

Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Commercial Lease Agreement with ... Page 855 of 1638 5 shall not be required to keep the Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest earned on the Deposit. The Deposit shall not be deemed a limitation on Landlord' s damages or a payment of liquidated damages or a payment of rent due for the last month of the Term.

A. Tenant specifically waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1950 which provides that Landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant, or to claim the Premises. Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any other foreseeable or unforeseeable loss or damage caused by the act or omissions of Tenant or Tenant's officers, agents, employees, independent contractors, or otherwise.

B. If Tenant faithfully and timely performs every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the Deposit or balance of the Deposit shall be returned to Tenant within sixty (60) calendar days after the expiration of the Term. Landlord may deliver the funds deposited under this Lease by Tenant to the purchaser of the Premises in the event that the Premises is sold, and after such time, Landlord shall have no further liability to Tenant with respect to the Deposit.

3.4 Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant of the Monthly Rent or any other sums due under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed upon Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of Monthly Rent or any other sums due from Tenant under this Lease, shall not be paid within ten (10) days after the time set forth in this Lease for payment thereof, Tenant shall thereupon pay to Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of the overdue amount. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge represents a reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date of this Lease, including the relationship of the sum to the loss to Landlord that could be reasonably anticipated by such nonpayment by Tenant and the anticipation that proof of actual damages sustained by Landlord would be costly or inconvenient to determine. Landlord and Tenant agree that such late charge shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord at law, in equity, or under this Lease. Landlord, at its option, may deem any such overdue amounts and/ or late charges so unpaid to be owing, nonpayment of which shall, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to Landlord, give rise to those rights and remedies of Landlord set forth in Section 12.2 of this Lease.

Page 14 of 30 ends

Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Commercial Lease Agreement with ... Page 862 of 1638 12 (collectively “Premises Systems”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case of complete HVAC failure or breakage that is beyond repair as documented by a third-party professional, Landlord and Tenant shall equally pay for the replacement of the HVAC system with Landlord and Tenant each paying fifty percent (50%) of the cost. In such case, Tenant shall obtain at least three bids, with Landlord having final approval of the contactor for such work.

7.2 Alterations. Tenant shall not make any alterations, improvements or additions in, on or about any of the Premises, without first obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent.

B. By notice given to Tenant no less than ninety (90) calendar days prior to the expiration of the Term of this Lease, Landlord may require that any alterations, improvements, or additions in, on or about the Premises be removed by Tenant.

(i) work done by Tenant or caused to be done by Tenant, in or to the Premises, and (ii) all materials furnished for or in connection with such work. Tenant shall indemnify the Landlord against and hold the Landlord and the Premises free, clear and harmless of and from any liens or claims of liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by the Tenant, and Tenant shall be responsible for the removal of any such liens and all costs to remove same. Failure to remove any such liens within thirty (30) calendar days of written request by Landlord shall constitute a default of this Lease. At its election, but without having any obligation to do so, the Landlord may pay such liens not so removed by the Tenant and the amount expended by Landlord shall be paid by Tenant within fifteen (15) calendar days after delivery of a statement for the expense.

7.4 Landlord Obligations. Landlord shall be responsible for maintenance and repair of the roof, exterior walls and structural components of the Premises (including structural floor) and all meter, pipes, conduits, equipment (excluding heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment), components and facilities that supply the premises with utilities (except as the appropriate utility company has assumes these duties); provided however that Landlord shall not be required to make repairs necessitated by reason of any acts or omissions of Tenant, including negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant, by reason of the failure of Tenant to perform or observe any conditions or agreements of this Lease, or by reason of improvements made by Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant.

ARTICLE VIII
DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION; CONDEMNATION

Page 15 of 30 ends

Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Commercial Lease Agreement with ... Page 863 of 1638 13 8.1 Damage or Destruction of Premises. Unless as the result of negligence or intentional unlawful act of Tenant, if during the term of this Lease, any portion of the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other catastrophic cause, so as to render such portion of the Premises untenable, the obligations under this Lease may be suspended while such portion of the Premises remains untenable. In the event of such damage, Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such untenable conditions and the Landlord shall elect in its sole discretion, whether to repair the Premises or to cancel this Lease with respect thereto. It shall notify Tenant in writing of its election within thirty (30) calendar days after service of notice by Tenant. In the event that Landlord elects not to repair the Premises or portion thereof, this Lease shall be deemed canceled as of the date the damage occurred with respect to the applicable portion(s).

8.2 Condemnation. Condemnation. If all or substantially all of the Premises is taken by eminent domain, inverse condemnation, or conveyance in lieu of condemnation, this Lease shall terminate as of the date possession is taken by the condemning authority. If only a portion of the Premises is taken, this Lease shall terminate as to the portion taken as of the date possession is taken. If the partial taking materially impairs Tenant’s ability to operate the permitted use from the remaining portion of the Premises, either Party may terminate this Lease by written notice to the other Party within thirty (30) calendar days after the date possession is taken. If this Lease is not terminated following a partial taking, Monthly Rent shall be equitably reduced in proportion to the portion of the Premises taken and the resulting impairment to Tenant’s use. Landlord shall be entitled to all compensation, damages, income, rent, awards, and interest paid in connection with the taking, except that Tenant may pursue a separate award from the condemning authority for Tenant’s relocation expenses, loss of personal property, trade fixtures, and any other separate compensable interest belonging to Tenant, provided that Tenant’s separate claim does not reduce or impair any award payable to Landlord..

ARTICLE IX
ASSIGNMENT; SUBLETTING; PROCESSING

9.1 Assignment and Subletting. Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, pledge, encumber, or hypothecate this Lease or any interest herein (directly, indirectly, voluntarily, or involuntarily, by operation of law, or otherwise) or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises by anyone other than Tenant without the prior written consent of Landlord first being obtained. If Tenant is a corporation, a limited liability company or a partnership, the transfer (as a consequence of a single transaction or any number of separate transactions) of fifty percent (50%) or more of the beneficial ownership interest of the voting stock of Tenant issued and outstanding as of the date hereof, the membership interests in Tenant or the partnership interests in Tenant, as the case may be, shall constitute an assignment hereunder for which such consent is required. Further, Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof to any corporation which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, or to any corporation resulting from merger or consolidation with Tenant, or to any person or entity which acquires all the assets as a going concern of the business of Tenant that is being conducted on the Premises, without the prior written consent of Landlord. Any of the foregoing acts without such consent shall be void and, at the sole option of Landlord, constitute an Event of Default entitling Landlord to terminate this Lease and to exercise all other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease and at law.

Page 16 of 30 ends

Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Commercial Lease Agreement with ... Page 864 of 1638 14 A. In the event that Tenant should desire to sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or assign this Lease, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice of such desire at least sixty (60) calendar days in advance of the proposed effective date of such subletting or assignment. Such notice shall include: (i) the name of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (ii) the nature of business to be conducted by the proposed subtenant or assignee in the Premises; (iii) the terms and conditions of the proposed assignment or sublease including but not limited to a detailed description of all compensation in cash or otherwise which Tenant would be entitled to receive in connection with such assignment or sublease; and (iv) the most recent financial statements or other financial information concerning the proposed subtenant or assignee as Landlord may require. At any time within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of Tenant’s notice, Landlord may by written notice to Tenant elect to: (i) terminate this Lease as to the space affected by the proposed subletting or assignment, as of the effective date of the proposed subletting or assignment; (ii) consent to the proposed subletting of the Premises or assignment of this Lease; or (iii) disapprove of the proposed subletting or assignment. Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease as to the space affected by the proposed assign or subletting in its sole and absolute discretion. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, however, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a proposed subletting or assignment.

B. Subject to obtaining Landlord’s consent in accordance with the requirements of Section 9.1, in order for any assignment or sublease to be binding on Landlord, Tenant must deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution thereof, an executed copy of such sublease or assignment whereby the subtenant or assignee shall expressly assume all obligations of Tenant under this Lease as to the portion of the Premises subject to such assignment or sublease. Any purported sublease or assignment will be of no legal force or effect unless and until the proposed sublease has been consented to, in writing, by Landlord and a fully executed copy thereof has been received by Landlord.

C. Regardless of Landlord’s consent, no assignment or subletting shall release Tenant or any guarantor from liability under this Lease unless Landlord expressly agrees to such release in writing. Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, hypothecation, or third-party use or occupancy. In the event of default by any assignee, subtenant, or successor of Tenant, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant and/or any guarantor without first exhausting remedies against such assignee, subtenant, or successor. No amendment or modification entered into between Landlord and an assignee that materially increases the obligations of the original Tenant shall bind the original Tenant unless the original Tenant consents in writing.

D. Landlord shall have the unconditional right to sell, encumber, pledge, convey, transfer, and/or assign any and all of its rights and obligations under the Lease without the consent of or notice to Tenant or any guarantor(s) of Tenant’s obligations hereunder.

9.2 Processing Fee. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord an administrative fee of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) and an additional amount for reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in conjunction with the processing and document review of any requested transfer, assignment,

ARTICLE X
HOLDING OVER; SALE OF PREMISES; TERMINATION

10.1 No Right to Holdover. Tenant has no right to retain possession of the Premises or any part thereof beyond the expiration or termination of this Lease. If, without objection by Landlord, Tenant holds possession of the Premises after expiration of the Term, Tenant shall become a Tenant from month-to-month upon the terms herein specified, except that the monthly rent shall equal to one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the monthly rent payable by Tenant at the expiration of the Term. In addition, Tenant shall continue to pay all other amounts due to Landlord hereunder. Each Party shall give the other notice at least one (1) month prior to the date of termination of such monthly tenancy of its intention to terminate such tenancy. If, after objection by Landlord thereto, Tenant holds possession of the Premises after expiration of the Term, Tenant shall constitute a Tenant at sufferance and without in any way waiving the wrongful holding over of the Premises by Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to receive for each month or portion thereof during which Tenant wrongfully holds over at the Premises monthly rent equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the monthly rent payable by Tenant at the expiration of the Term together with all other amounts otherwise due to Landlord hereunder.

Landlord' s receipt of increased monthly rent under this Section 10.1 shall not constitute an extension of the Term nor shall it constitute a waiver of Tenant' s wrongful holding over and shall not prejudice any other rights or remedies available to Landlord under this Lease or by law.

10.2 Sale of Premises. In the event Landlord, or any successor owner of the Premises, shall sell or convey the Premises, all liabilities and obligations on the part of the Landlord, or such successor owner, under this Lease accruing thereafter shall terminate, and thereupon all such liabilities and obligations shall be binding upon the new owner. Tenant agrees to attorn to such new owner.

10.3 Early Termination of Tenancy. Intentionally Omitted.

ARTICLE XI
SUBORDINATION; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

11.1 Subordination. This Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder are subject and subordinate to any ground or underlying lease and the lien of the holder of or beneficiary under a mortgage or deed of trust which now or in the future encumbers the Premises and to any and all advances made thereunder, and interest thereon, and all modifications, renewals, supplements, consolidations and replacements thereof. Tenant agrees that any ground or underlying landlord or lender may at its option, unilaterally elect to subordinate in whole or in part, such ground or underlying lease or the lien of such mortgage or deed or trust to this Lease. Such subordination or priority of this Lease, as the case may be, shall be effective without the necessity of executing any further instrument or agreement to effect such subordination or priority; provided, however, that Tenant agrees to execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord upon demand any and all instruments required by Landlord or any such ground or underlying Landlord or lender evidencing the subordination or priority of this Lease, as the case may be. Tenant hereby

11.2 Estoppel Certificates. At any time and from time to time, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, within five (5) calendar days after request by Landlord, a certificate certifying, among other things: (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect, as modified, and stating the date and nature of each modification); (ii) the date, if any, to which monthly rent (if applicable) and other sums payable hereunder have been paid; (iii) that no notice has been received by Tenant of any default which has not been cured except as to defaults specified in said certificate; and (iv) such other matters as reasonably may be requested by Landlord.

ARTICLE XII

12.1 Default; Breach.

A. Default. A “Default” by Tenant is defined as a failure by Tenant to observe, comply with, or perform any of terms, covenants, conditions, or rules applicable to Tenant under this Lease, and shall include but not be limited to:
(1) Failure to provide the Monthly Rent set forth in Section 1.5 or other amounts owing pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
(2) Vacation or abandonment of the Premises or a disruption in services for a period time exceeding five (5) calendar days.

Page 19 of 30 ends

Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Commercial Lease Agreement with ... Page 867 of 1638 17 substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days; provided, however, in the event that any provision of this Subparagraph 12.1(A)(6) is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect, and shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. (7) Failure of Tenant to fulfill any obligation under this Lease which endangers or threatens life or property, where such failure continues for a period of one (1) calendar day following written notice thereof by or on behalf of Landlord to Tenant. (8) Tenant making or furnishing any warranty, representation, or statement to Landlord in connection with this Lease, or any other agreement made by Tenant for the benefit of Landlord, which is or was false or misleading in any material respect when made or furnished. (9) Assignment or sublease of this Lease or any portion of the Premises, or attempt to assign or sublease this Lease or any portion of the Premises, by Tenant in violation of Section 9.1.
(10) Tenant committing waste on the Premises.
(11) Failure of Tenant to otherwise perform, satisfy, or abide by any of the terms, covenants, conditions, or provisions of this Lease.

B. Breach. In the event that Tenant is in Default of this Lease, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the nature of the Default and of the corrective action to be taken. If corrective action is not commenced within ten (10) business days after receipt of written notice and not completed within thirty (30) days thereafter, or longer, if Tenant is diligently pursing corrective action, such failure by Tenant shall constitute a “Breach,” and Landlord may pursue those remedies set forth in Section 12.2.

12.2 Remedies. On the occurrence of Tenant’s Breach of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to pursue any one or more of the following remedies in addition to any other remedies now or later available to Landlord, either in law or equity, which remedies shall not be exclusive, but shall instead be cumulative: (i) remove all persons and property from the Premises and repossess same, in which case any and all of Tenant’s property that Landlord removes from the Premises may be stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of, Tenant; or (ii) allow Tenant to remain in full possession and control of the Premises.

A. If Landlord chooses to repossess the Premises, then this Lease will automatically terminate in accordance with the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1951.

In the event of such termination of the Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant:
(1) The worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination, including interest at the maximum rate allowed by law;

Page 20 of 30 ends

Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Commercial Lease Agreement with ... Page 868 of 1638 18 (2) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of the award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, including interest at the maximum rate allowed by law; (3) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and (4) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant' s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom.

B. “The worth at the time of the award,” as used in Section 12.2(A) shall be computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate allowed by law. “The worth at the time of the award” shall be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank at the time of the award, plus one percent (1%).

C. Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting the Premises, including, without limitation, lost rents, eviction costs, attorney's fees, brokers' commissions, expenses of remodeling the Premises required by the re-letting, and like costs. Re-letting can be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Term. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the rent due under this Lease on the dates the rent is due, unless Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord elects to terminate this Lease. After Tenant's Default and for as long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, if Tenant obtains Landlord's consent, Tenant shall have the right to assign its interest in this Lease, or sublet all or a portion of the Premises, but Tenant shall not be released from liability or its obligations under this Lease. Landlord's consent to a proposed assignment or subletting shall be as required in Section 9.1.

D. If Landlord elects to re-let the Premises, then any rent that Landlord receives from re-letting shall be applied to the payment of: (i) first, any indebtedness from Tenant to Landlord other than rent due from Tenant; (ii) second, all costs incurred by Landlord in re-letting, including costs for maintenance; and (iii) third, Rent due and unpaid under this Lease.

E. After deducting the payments referred to in Section 12.2, any sum remaining from any rent that Landlord receives from re-letting shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as rent becomes due under this Lease. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any excess rent received by Landlord. If, on the date rent is due under this Lease, the rent received from any re-letting is less than the rent due on that date, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to the remaining rent due, all costs which Landlord incurred in re-letting, including without limitation maintenance, that remain after applying the rent received from the re-letting, as provided in Section 12.2.

Page 21 of 30 ends

Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Commercial Lease Agreement with ... Page 869 of 1638 19 12.3 Continuation after Breach. Even though Tenant has breached this Lease and/or abandoned the Premises, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession as provided in Section 12.2 above, and Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease. In such event, Landlord may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a Landlord under California Civil Code Section 1951.4, or any successor statute. Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to re-let the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of Landlord to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession.

12.4 Other Relief. In the event of re-entry or taking possession of the Premises, Landlord shall have the right but not the obligation to remove all or any part of the trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and personal property located in the Premises and to place the same in storage at a public warehouse at the expense and risk of Tenant or to sell such property in accordance with applicable law. The remedies provided for in this Lease are in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise. Any amounts so expended by Landlord shall be immediately payable by Tenant.

12.5 Landlord's Right to Cure Default. All agreements and provisions to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease shall be at its sole cost and expense. If Tenant shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder and such failure shall not be cured within the applicable cure period provided for herein, if any, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated so to do, and without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, make any such payment or perform any such other act on Tenant's part to be made or performed as provided in this Lease. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs shall be on Tenant's account and shall be payable to Landlord on demand.

12.6 Dispute Resolution. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Lease, or breach thereof, shall be first submitted to the senior management of each Party for resolution during a thirty (30) calendar day dispute resolution period. Notice must be in writing and served pursuant to Section 13.1 herein. The foregoing dispute resolution period shall run concurrently with any notice and cure periods provided for herein.
