When you enter into a discussion with a real estate agent regarding a real estate transac Ɵon, you should from the outset understand what type of agency rela Ɵonship or representaƟon you wish to have with the agent in the transac Ɵon.
A Seller's agent under a lis Ɵng agreement with the Seller acts as the agent for the Seller only. A Seller's agent or a subagent of that agent has the following a ffirmaƟve obligaƟons:
To the S el le r : Afiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in dealings with the Seller .
T o the Buyer and the Seller:
(a) Diligent exercise of reasonable skill and care in performance of the agent's du Ɵes. (b) A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith.
(c) A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially a ffecƟng the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent a ƩenƟon and observaƟon of, the par Ɵes.
An agent is not obligated to reveal to either party any con fidenƟal informaƟon obtained from the other party that does not involve the a ffirmaƟve duƟes set forth above.
A Buyer's agent can, with a Buyer's consent, agree to act as agent for the Buyer only. In these situa Ɵons, the agent is not the Seller's agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive compensaƟon for services rendered, either in full or in part from the Seller. An agent ac Ɵng only for a Buyer has the following a ffirmaƟve obligaƟons:
To the Bu ye r : Afiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in dealings with the Buyer.
T o the Buyer and the Seller:
(a) Diligent exercise of reasonable skill and care in performance of the agent's du Ɵes. (b) A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith.
(c) A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially a ffecƟng the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent aƩenƟon and observa Ɵon of, the parƟes.
An agent is not obligated to reveal to either party any con fidenƟal informaƟon obtained from the other party that does not involve the a ffirmaƟve duƟes set forth above.
A real estate agent, either ac Ɵng directly or through one or more salesperson and broker associates, can legally be the agent of both the Seller and the Buyer in a transacƟon, but only with the knowledge and consent of both the Seller and the Buyer .
In a dual agency situa Ɵon, the agent has the following a ffirmaƟve obligaƟons to both the Seller and the Buyer:
(a) A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in the dealings with either the Seller or the Buyer. (b) Other du Ɵes to the Seller and the Buyer as stated above in their respec Ɵve sec Ɵons.
In represenƟng both Seller and Buyer, a dual agent may not, without the express permission of the respec Ɵve party, disclose to the other party con fidenƟal informaƟon, including, but not limited to, facts rela Ɵng to either the Buyer's or Seller's financial posiƟon, mo ƟvaƟons, bargaining posiƟon, or other personal informaƟon that may impact price, including the Seller's willingness to accept a price less than the lis Ɵng price or the Buyer's willingness to pay a price greater than the price offered.
Either the purchase agreement or a separate document will contain a con firmaƟon of which agent is represen Ɵng you and whether that agent is represen Ɵng you exclusively in the transacƟon or ac Ɵng as a dual agent. Please pay a ƩenƟon to that con firmaƟon to make sure it accurately re flects your understanding of your agent’s role. The above du Ɵes of the agent in a real estate transac Ɵon do not relieve a Seller or Buyer from the responsibility to protect his or her own interests. You should carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express your understanding of the transac Ɵon. A real estate agent is a person quali fied to advise about real estate. If legal or tax advice is desired, consult a competent professional. If you are a Buyer, you have the duty to exercise reasonable care to pro tect yourself, including as to those facts about the property which are known to you or within your diligent a ƩenƟon and observa Ɵon. Both Sellers and Buyers should strongly

consider obtaining tax advice from a competent professional because the federal and state tax consequences of a transac Ɵon can be complex and subject to change.
Throughout your real property transac Ɵon you may receive more than one disclosure form, depending upon the number of agents assis Ɵng in the transac Ɵon. The law requires each agent with whom you have more than a casual rela Ɵonship to present you with this disclosure form.

BY AND BETWEEN
CITY OF SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA
AND
Victoria Arafa dba Hungry Hound, a California, Sole Proprietor
This lease agreement (“Lease”) is dated January 6, 2022 and is by and between the City of Santa Clara, California, a chartered California municipal corporation (“City”) and Victoria Arafa dba Hungry Hound, a California, Sole Proprietor (“Lessee”). City and Lessee may be referred to individually as a “Party” or collectively as the “Parties” or the “Parties to this Lease.” The City Manager serves as Contract Administrator for this Lease on behalf of the City Council.
RECITALS:
A. Lessee previously leased the Premises (as defined below) pursuant to one or more prior leases, including without limitation Victoria Arafa dba Hungry Hound, a California, Sole Proprietor the Net Shopping Center Lease, with Lucia Lim (“Prior Landlord”), dated which expired on September 30, 2021 (collectively, “Prior Lease”).
The Prior Lease was in turn a sublease under a ground lease between the Prior Landlord as lessee and the City as lessor for the land underlying the Project (as defined below), which also expired on September 30, 2021 (“Ground Lease”).
B. Effective of the termination of the Prior Lease, the City became the sole owner of the Project, free and clear of the Prior Lease. Nevertheless, the Parties have agreed to enter into a new lease on the terms herein.
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, stipulated and agreed, Lessee and City mutually agree as follows:
AGREEMENTS:
LEASE PROVISIONS
1. PREMISES; BUILDING AND PROJECT.
1.1 General. City hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hires from City, certain real property located in the City of Santa Clara, County of Santa Clara, State of California, commonly known as Suite C consisting of approximately 1415 square feet (the “Premises”) in that certain approximately 8301 square foot building at 1000 Lafayette Street, Santa Clara, California, 95050 (the “Building”), located on an approximately 1.33 acre parcel (collectively, including the Building, the “Project”), all as more particularly described or identified in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The Project excludes, and Lessee is the
Lease Agreement/ Victoria Arafa dba Hungry Hound, a California, Sole Proprietor. Page 2 of 33 Rev.: 02-01-15
OAK #4822-6577-3562 v9
sole owner of, the items identified on the Inventory of Fixtures set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
1.2 Pro Rata Share. Lessee’s pro rata share (“Pro Rata Share”) is percent 17.05% which represents the percentage that the rentable area of the Premises bears to the total rentable area of the building.
2. TERM; COMMENCEMENT DATE.
The term of this Lease shall be for Two (2) years commencing at 12:01 am on October 1, 2021 (“Commencement Date”) and ending on September 30, 2023_. Lessee shall, at the expiration of the term of this lease, or upon its earlier termination, surrender the Premises in as good condition as it is now at the date of this lease, reasonable wear and tear excepted. City shall have the right, upon the termination of the term or upon a breach, to enter the Premises and take possession of it.
3. RENT.
3.1 Base Rent. Lessee shall pay base rent (“Base Rent”) in the amount of $2,540.00 per month. All rent, including Base Rent, shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America without deduction or offset. Base Rent shall be payable on the first day of each and every month commencing on the Commencement Date, at a place (or places) as may be designated in writing from time to time by City.
3.2 Late Charge. Lessee acknowledges late payment by Lessee to City of rent will cause City to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to fix. Such costs include, without limitation, processing, accounting and late charges that may be imposed on City.
Therefore, if City does not receive any installment of rent due from Lessee within ten (10) days after the date such rent is due, Lessee shall pay to City an additional sum of ten percent (10%) of the overdue rent as a late charge. The parties agree this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs City will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Lessee’s default with respect to the overdue amount, nor prevent City from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to City.
3.3 Rent. The term “Rent” as used in this Lease shall mean Base Rent and any other amounts owing from Lessee to the City pursuant to this Lease.

OAK #4822-6577-3562 v9
4. SECURITY DEPOSIT.
Lessee has tendered to City an amount of Two Thousand Five Hundred Forty Dollars $2,540.00 as a security deposit. City may use these funds as are reasonably necessary to remedy any Lessee breach(s) or default(s) under this Lease, including without limitation in the payment of rent, to repair damages caused by Lessee, or expenses incurred to clean the Premises upon termination of tenancy. If any portion of the security deposit is used towards rent or damages at City’s sole discretion, Lessee agrees to reinstate said total security deposit upon receipt of five (5) days written notice. Any remaining balance of the security deposit shall be returned by City to Lessee at such time after termination of this Lease that all of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease have been fulfilled, reduced by such amounts as may be required by City to remedy defaults on the part of Lessee in the payment of Rent or other obligations of Lessee under this Lease, to repair damage to the Premises, Building, or Project caused by Lessee and to clean the Premises. City may use and co-mingle the security deposit with other funds of City. Lessee hereby waives the provisions of the California Civil Code section 1950.7, and all other provisions of any laws, now or hereinafter in force, which restricts the amount or types of claim that a landlord may make upon a security deposit or imposes upon a landlord (or its successors) any obligation with respect to the handling or return of security deposits.
5. DUTIES OF LESSEE.

owned) and rental paid for such machinery and equipment (if rented); and adequate public liability and property damage insurance on the Common Areas.
In addition, the Common Area Expenses shall include a management fee of ten percent (10%) of the total of all other Common Area Expenses, adjusted from time to time as provided herein. The City may cause any or all of those services to be provided by an independent contractor or contractors.
6.6.3 The Common Area Expenses shall be prorated in the following manner:
(i) From and after the Commencement Date, and throughout the term hereof, Lessee shall pay to the City, on the first day of each calendar month, an amount estimated by the City to be Lessee’s share of the Common Area Expenses. The foregoing estimated monthly charge may be adjusted by the City at the end of any calendar quarter on the basis of the City’s experience and reasonably anticipated costs.
(ii) At the City’s sole election, each calendar year, the City shall furnish Lessee a statement covering the calendar quarter or year just expired, certified as correct by an authorized representative of the City, showing the total of the Common Area Expenses, the amount of Lessee’s share of the Common Area Expenses for such calendar quarter or year, and the payments made by Lessee with respect to such period as set forth in (i) above. If Lessee’s share of the Common Area Expenses exceeds Lessee’s payments so made, Lessee shall pay the City the deficiency within 10 days after receipt of such statement. If Lessee’s payments exceed Lessee’s share of the Common Area Expenses, Lessee shall be entitled to offset the excess against payments next thereafter to become due to the City as set forth in (i) above. Lessee’s share of the Common Area Expenses for the previous calendar quarter or year shall be that portion of all such expenses which is equal to the proportion thereof which the number of square feet of floor area in the Premises bears to the total number of square feet of floor area of the Building.
6.6.4 Failure of Lessee to pay any of the charges as in this Section 6.6 required to be paid shall constitute a default under the terms hereof in like manner as failure to pay Base Rent when due.
6.6.5 The City shall at all times have the right and privilege of determining the nature and extent of the Common Areas, and of making such changes therein and thereto from time to time which in its sole discretion it deems to be desirable and in the best interest of all persons using the Common Areas, including without limitation the location and relocation of driveways, entrances, exits, automobile parking spaces (if any), installation of prohibited areas, landscaped areas, utilities, and all other facilities thereof.

The rules and regulations herein provided may include, without limitation, the hours during which the Common Areas shall be open for use.
6.6.8 City shall retain the sole and absolute discretion in the modification of the Common Areas, which may include the rearrangement, increase or decrease of the areas, and the manner in which the areas are utilized.

The rights of Lessee hereunder in and to the Common Areas shall at all times be subject to the rights of the City, the other tenants of the Project to use the same in common with Lessee, and it shall be the duty of Lessee to keep all of the Common Areas free and clear of any obstructions created or permitted by Lessee or resulting from Lessee’s operation and permit the use of the Common Areas only for normal parking, ingress and egress by said customers, patrons, and service suppliers to and from the Building. Nothing herein shall prevent the City from allowing non-users of the Building or Project to use the parking lot for City- designated events, as long as Lessee and its customers’ rights to use the number of spaces identified in Section 6.4 during Lessee’s regular business hours is not unreasonably restricted.
6.6.9 If in the sole discretion of the City unauthorized persons are using any of the Common Areas by reason of the presence of Lessee in the Premises, Lessee, upon demand of the City, shall enforce such rights against all such unauthorized persons by appropriate proceedings. Nothing herein shall affect the rights of the City at any time to remove any such unauthorized persons from said areas or to restrain the use of any of said areas by unauthorized persons.

10.6 Notice. If Lessee makes any alterations to the Premises as provided in this Section 10, the alterations shall not be commenced until ten (10) days after the City has received written notice from Lessee stating the date the installation of the alterations is to commence so that the City can post and record an appropriate notice of nonresponsibility at the Premises.
10.7 Manner; Cost. Any alterations by Lessee shall be made in a manner that will not interfere with the quiet enjoyment of the other tenants in the building. Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all cost for construction done by it or caused by it to be done on the Premises as permitted by this Lease.

10.10 Removal. Any trade fixtures described in this Section 10 that are not removed from the Premises by Lessee on the date of expiration or sooner termination, regardless of cause, of this Lease shall be deemed abandoned by Lessee and shall automatically become the property of the City and Lessee shall hold City harmless as to all claimants with respect to same.
10.11 Insurance. In the event that Lessee shall make any permitted improvements to the Premises under the provisions of this Section 10, Lessee agrees to carry such insurance as the City may reasonably request covering any such improvements, it being expressly understood and agreed that none of such improvements shall be insured by the City under the insurance it may carry upon the Building, nor shall the City be required to reconstruct any such improvements under any circumstances whatsoever, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.
11. TAXES.
11.1 Personal Property Taxes. Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes, license fees and public charges assessed or levied against Lessee or Lessee’s Improvements, trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and other personal property.
11.2 Assessments and Special Taxes. As a municipal corporation, City’s fee interest in the Project is exempt from the 1% general property tax levy and therefore property taxes will not be levied and will not be passed through to lessee or other tenants of the Project during City’s ownership of the Project. However, if and to the extent the Project or portion thereof is subject to special taxes or assessments, Lessee shall pay Lessee’s share of all such assessment and special taxes, if any, (other than possessory interest taxes on Lessee’s leasehold interest which shall be paid 100% by Lessee) which become due and payable to City on or before the later of ten (10) days prior to the delinquency thereof or three (3) days after the date on which Lessee receives a copy of the special tax or assessment bill and notice of City’s determination hereunder. Lessee’s liability to pay special taxes and assessments shall be prorated on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year to account for any fraction or portion of a tax year included in the Lease term at the commencement or expiration of the Lease.
11.3 Revenue and Taxation Code Notice; Possessory Interest Taxes. Lessee specifically acknowledges it is familiar with §107.6 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, realizes that a possessory interest subject to property taxes may be created, agrees to pay any such tax in full and without proration, and hereby waives any rights Lessee may have under said California Revenue and Taxation Code §107.6. City shall have no obligation to pay any possessory interest tax. No such possessory interest tax or any other tax payable by Lessee shall in any way reduce or substitute for the rent, charges or fees required to be paid as a condition of this Lease or as otherwise required by City.

Lessee shall give City immediate notice of any claim or liability hereby indemnified against.
12.2 Waiver of Claims. Lessee waives any claims against City for injury to Lessee’s business or any loss of income therefrom, for damage to Lessee’s property, or for injury or death of any person in or about the Premises or the Project, from any cause whatsoever, except to the extent caused by City’s active negligence or willful misconduct.
13. DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION AND TERMINATION.
13.1 Uninsured Risks. If, during the Term of this Lease, the Premises or the Building are totally or partially destroyed from a risk not covered by the insurance described in Section 19.2, the City, at its option, may elect to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Lessee or may elect to restore the same. However, as to destruction which was caused by an act or omission of Lessee, its employees, agents, invitees or permittees, Lessee shall reimburse the City the full cost of the restoration of the Premises, Building shell, and all leasehold improvements therein under any circumstances. If the City elects to restore the Premises or the Building, Lessee shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of rent while such repairs are being made. Such reduction shall be in an amount which bears the same proportion to the Base Rent as the floor area of that portion of Premises which has been damaged or is otherwise unusable by Lessee, bears to the total floor area of the Premises, except that if the damage or destruction is to more than 50% of the square footage of the Premises and Lessee ceases to occupy the Premises, such proportionate reduction shall be 100%.
13.2 Insured Risks.
13.2.1 If, during the Term of this Lease, the Premises or the Building are totally or partially destroyed from a risk covered by insurance described in Section 19.2, the City shall forthwith repair the same to substantially the same condition they were in immediately prior to the destruction and to the extent of proceeds
Lease Agreement/ Victoria Arafa dba Hungry Hound, a California, Sole Proprietor. Page 17 of 33 Rev.: 02-01-15
OAK #4822-6577-3562 v9
received under such insurance, provided such repairs can be made within ninety (90) days under then existing law. Such destruction shall in no way annul or void this Lease, except that Lessee shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of rent while such repairs are being made, including but not limited to the foregoing ninety days, such proportionate reduction to be equal to, and granted upon the City’s receipt of, the proceeds received by the City from any rental interruption insurance maintained by Lessee. Such reduction shall be in an amount which bears the same proportion to the minimum monthly rent as the floor area of that portion of the Premises which has been damaged or is otherwise unusable by Lessee bears to the total floor area of the Premises. If such repairs cannot be made in 90 days, the City may, at its option, make same within a reasonable time, this Lease continuing in full force and effect and the rent being proportionately reduced as aforesaid. In the event that the City does not so elect to make such repairs which cannot be made in 90 days, or such repairs cannot be made under such then existing law, this Lease shall terminate.
13.2.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, if, at any time during the term of this Lease, the Premises or the Building are totally or partially destroyed and (i) the total cost to repair the Premises or the Building exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars($100,000), or (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the Building is damaged or destroyed (and whether or not any portion of the Premises is also damaged or destroyed), the City may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice to Lessee. Determination of the extent of damage or destruction and the time for effectuating repair shall be made by the City based upon written appraisals and insurance adjustment reports, and shall be final and binding on the Parties.
13.3 Extent of Obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City shall not be required to repair, reconstruct, or restore damage or destruction by fire or other cause to any portion of the Premises constructed by or for Lessee, and Lessee shall at its sole cost and expense fully restore or replace its stock in trade, trade fixtures, furniture, furnishings, equipment, and other personal property. Lessee shall commence all such replacement and restoration work promptly following the occurrence of any such damage or destruction, and shall diligently prosecute such work to completion. Lessee hereby waives any statutory rights of termination which may arise by reason of any partial or total destruction of the Premises or any part thereof. Upon termination of the Lease under any of the provisions of this Section 13, the Parties shall be released thereby from any further obligations hereunder except for obligations which, prior to the date of such termination, had already accrued, and except as provided in the following sentence. In the event of such a termination, all proceeds from Lessee’s insurance which pertain to alterations or improvements to the Premises which would otherwise become the property of the City upon expiration or termination of this Lease shall be disbursed and paid to the City.

13.4 Force Majeure/Excusable Delay. Except as provided in this Lease, any act of City or Lessee required by this Lease to be done within a specified time shall be subject to Excusable Delay. Lessee’s obligation to pay Rent, however, is not excused by this Section. “Excusable Delay” means prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, Acts of God, inability to obtain labor, materials or reasonable substitutes, governmental restrictions, governmental regulation, governmental controls, judicial orders, enemy, or hostile governmental actions, civil commotion, fire or other casualty, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of Lessee or City (excepting, however, City’s or Lessee’s financial inability), which shall excuse the performance by City or Lessee for a period equal to the prevention, delay or stoppage, except the obligations imposed with regard to rent to be paid by Lessee pursuant to this Lease. In the event any work performed by Lessee or Lessee’s contractors results in a strike, lockout, and/or labor dispute, the strike, lockout, and/or labor dispute shall not excuse the performance by Lessee of the provisions of this Lease.
13.5 Waiver. City and Lessee waive the provisions of any statutes which relate to termination of leases when leased property is destroyed and agree that such event shall be governed by the terms of this Lease.
14. SIGNS.
Lessee shall not construct, maintain or place any signs, advertising or other exterior decoration (collectively, “Signs”) upon the exterior of the Premises or Project, or modify any existing Signs, without prior written consent of City.

City makes no representation with respect to Lessee’s ability to obtain such approval.
15. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
15.1 City’s Consent Required. Lessee shall not assign this Lease, nor any interest therein, and shall not sublet or encumber the Premises or any part thereof, nor any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, nor allow or permit any other person(s) to occupy or use the Premises, or any portion thereof, without the prior written consent of City. This Lease shall be binding upon any permitted assignee or successor of Lessee. Consent by City to one assignment, subletting, occupation or use by another person shall not be deemed to be consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, occupation or use by another person. No assignment, subletting, or encumbrance by Lessee shall release it from or in any way alter any of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease. Any assignment, subletting, encumbrances, occupation or use contrary to the provisions of this Lease shall be void and shall constitute breach of this Lease. City may assign any of its rights hereunder without notice to Lessee.

15.2 No Release of Lessee. No subletting or assignment as approved by City shall release Lessee of Lessee’s obligation or alter the primary liability of Lessee to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations by Lessee hereunder. The acceptance of rent by City from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by City of any provision hereof. In the event of default by any approved assignee or other successor of Lessee in the performance of any of the terms hereof, City may proceed directly against Lessee without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such assignee or successor.
16. DEFAULTS; REMEDIES.

In the event City 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 this subparagraph;
16.1.3 Failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease in any material respect to be observed or performed by Lessee where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from City to Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee’s default is such that more than thirty (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 thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion;
16.1.4 Making by Lessee of any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors; Lessee’s becoming a “debtor” as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); the appointment of a bankruptcy trustee or receiver to take possession of all or substantially all of Lessee’s assets located at or on the Premises or of Lessee’s interest in this Lease where possession is not restored to Lessee within thirty (30) days; or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of all or substantially all of Lessee’s assets located at or on the Premises or of Lessee’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days.

16.2.1 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 and all alterations to City. In such event, City shall be entitled to recover from Lessee all damages incurred by City by reason of Lessee’s default including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering possession of the Premises and alterations, expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises and alterations, reasonable attorneys’ fees, the worth at the time of the award of the unpaid rent that had been earned at the time of termination of this Lease and 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 such award exceeds the amount of such rental loss for the same period that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided.
16.2.2 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, City shall be entitled to enforce all of City’s rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover rent as it becomes due hereunder.

The receipt by City of a partial payment of any amount due to City endorsed as payment in full will be deemed to be a partial payment only, and any endorsements or statements on the check or any letter accompanying the check shall not be deemed an accord and/or satisfaction, and, notwithstanding said endorsements, City may accept and deposit said check without prejudice to its right to recover the balance.

Gov. Code § 7260, et seq.), as may be amended, (collectively, “Relocation Laws”) a qualifying “displaced person or business” who is displaced by a public agency-initiated redevelopment project, such as the one proposed by City, is entitled to monetary and non-monetary benefits including relocation advisory assistance, a business reestablishment payment, assistance with costs to search for a replacement location for the business, and rent differential payments to the extent the tenant’s rent in a new location is higher than the tenant’s current rent (collectively, “Potential Relocation Benefits”).

Lessee represents and warrants to City as follows: (i)Lessee had no option or other rights to extend the term of the Prior Lease beyond September 30, 2021; (ii) Lessee’s Prior Lease terminated upon the termination of the Ground Lease and Lessee had no right to remain in occupancy of the Premises beyond the expiration dates of the Prior Lease and Ground Lease which were co-terminus; (iii) Lessee’s right to occupy the Premises under this Lease will commence following the termination of the Ground Lease and City’s acquisition of an ownership interest in the Building from the former ground lessee; (iv) Lessee is an after-acquired tenant of City and not a potential “displaced person or business” under Relocation Laws (defined below); and (v) City’s willingness to enter into this new Lease with Lessee is contingent upon Lessee’s agreement to waive Potential Relocation Benefits as provided herein . Lessee further represents and warrants to City that Lessee’s relocation from the Property upon expiration or termination of this Lease will be a result of the expiration of the Prior Lease and this Lease each of which occurred or were anticipated prior to Lessee entering into this Lease with City and therefore Lessee is not a “displaced person or business” under Relocation Laws.
29.3 Waiver and Release of All Claims. In exchange for City’s agreements under this Lease, Lessee hereby waives and releases all rights or claims that Lessee has or may have in the future against City or its elected or appointed officials, employees, agents, attorneys or consultants, or any federal or state agency which may provide funding in connection with City’s future redevelopment of the Project with other uses (collectively, the “Released Parties”) under the Relocation Laws as a result of, arising out of, or connected with Lessee’s departure from the Premises and/or the City’s redevelopment of the Project in the future, including but not limited to any claims for Potential Relocation Benefits.

If any provision of this Lease is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in full or in part, for any reason, then such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make the provision legal, valid and enforceable, and the other provisions of this Lease shall not be affected thereby.

OAK #4822-6577-3562 v9
hereafter be enacted or promulgated, or which will subject City to any liability for injury to any person or property by reason of any business operation being conducted in or about the Premises. To the extent required due to Lessee’s specific use of the Premises, alterations of the Premises made by Lessee, or as a result of Lessee’s application for permits or authorizations, Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with all applicable laws, statutes and ordinances, governmental rules, regulations, orders, permits, licenses, approvals, authorizations, federal and state disability laws, and other requirements including the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.), together with any amendment thereto or regulations promulgated under any of the foregoing, and any state or local ordinances or codes enacted pursuant thereto, and with all requirements of any board or fire insurance underwriters or other similar bodies, now or hereafter constituted, relating to or affecting the condition, use, or occupancy of the Premises by Lessee, any improvements or alterations made by, on behalf of, or for Lessee, or any other Lessee acts or omissions.
The final judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Lessee in any action against Lessee, whether City be a party thereto or not, that Lessee has violated any laws shall be conclusive of that fact as between City and Lessee. Lessee, within ten (10) days after receipt, shall provide City with copies of any notices it receives regarding a material violation or alleged material violation of any Laws. Lessee shall also cause its agents, contractors, subcontractors, employees, customers, and subtenants to comply with all applicable laws.
52. COUNTERPARTS; ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES.
This Lease may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but both of which shall constitute one and the same instrument; and, the Parties agree that signatures on this Lease, including those transmitted electronically by email or facsimile, shall be sufficient to bind the Parties.
53. ACCESSIBILITY; DISABILITY LAWS.
53.1 The Premises have not undergone an inspection by a Certified Access Specialist.
53.2 “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. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. 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.”

OAK #4822-6577-3562 v9
53.3 Since compliance with the ADA and other federal and state disability laws (collectively, “Disability Laws”) is dependent upon Lessee’s specific use of the Premises, City makes no warranty or representation as to whether or not the Premises comply with Disability Laws. In the event that Lessee’s use of the Premises requires modifications or additions to the Premises in order to be in compliance with Disability Laws, Lessee agrees to make any such necessary modifications and/or additions at Lessee’s sole cost and expense.
54. OFAC COMPLIANCE.
Lessee represents and warrants to City that Lessee is not a party with whom City is prohibited from doing business pursuant to the regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, including those parties named on OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List.
Lessee is currently in compliance with, and shall at all times during the term of this Lease remain in compliance with, the regulations of OFAC and any other governmental requirement relating thereto. In the event of any violation of this section, City shall be entitled to immediately terminate this Lease and take such other actions as are permitted or required to be taken under law or in equity. LESSEE SHALL DEFEND,
INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS CITY FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND
ALL CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, RISKS, LIABILITIES AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS) INCURRED BY CITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO ANY BREACH OF THE FOREGOING CERTIFICATIONS.
These indemnity obligations shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
55. NO BROKERAGE.
City is represented in this transaction by Eugene Burger Management Corporation (“City’s Agent”). Brokerage fees, commissions or other payments owed to City’s Agent, if any, in connection with this Lease transaction shall be paid by City per the terms of a separate agreement between City and City’s Agent. Lessee represents and warrants to City that Lessee is represented in this transaction by Alex Ayala Sr. (“Lessee’s Agent”).
Fees, if any, payable to Lessee’s Agent, if applicable, shall be paid pursuant to separate agreement(s) between City’s Agent and Lessee’s Agent or between Lessee and Lessee’s Agent. Lessee shall indemnify and defend City from and against any claims made by Lessee’s Agent or any other person or entity purporting to represent Lessee in this transaction for any finder’s fee, brokerage fee, commission or other payment claiming through Lessee or its affiliates with respect to the execution of this Lease or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Lessee shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the Lessee’s operation and use of the leased premises. The cost of such insurance shall be borne by the Lessee.
A. MINIMUM SCOPE AND LIMIT OF INSURANCE
Coverage shall be at least as broad as:
1. Commercial General Liability (CGL): In surance Services Office Form CG 00 01 covering CGL on an “occurrence” basis, including products and completed operations, property damage, bodily injury and personal & advertising injury with limits no less than $2,000,000 per occurrence. If a general aggregate limit applies, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to this project/location (ISO CG 25 03 or 25 04) or the general aggregate limit shall be twice the required occurrence limit.
2. Workers’ Compensation Insurance as required by the State of California, with Statutory Limits, and Employer’s Liability Insurance with limits of no less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury or disease. (This applies to lessees with employees).
3. Property insurance against all risks of loss to any tenant improvements or betterments, at full replacement cost with no coinsurance penalty provision.
If the Lessee maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or the higher limits maintained by the Lessee. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
B. OTHER INSURANCE PROVISIONS:
The insurance policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:
1. Additional Insured Status: The City, its offi cers, officials, employees, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds on the CGL policy with respect to liability arising out of work or operations performed by or on behalf of the Lessee including materials, parts, or
Lease Agreement/ Victoria Arafa dba Hungry Hound, a California, Sole Proprietor Exhibit C Page 2 of 2 Rev.: 02-01-15
OAK #4822-6577-3562 v9
equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations. General liability coverage can be provided in the form of an endorsement to the Lessee’s insurance (at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 10).
2. Primary Coverage: For any claims related to this contract, the Less ee’s insurance coverage shall be primary insurance coverage at least as broad as ISO CG 20 01 04 13 as respects the City, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers. Any insurance or self- insurance maintained by the City, its officers, officials, employees, or volunteers shall be excess of the Lessee’s insurance and shall not contribute with it.
3. Legal Liability Coverage: The property ins urance is to be endorsed to include Legal Liability Coverage (ISO Form CP 00 40 04 02 or equivalent) with a limit equal to the replacement cost of the leased property.
4. Notice of Cancellation: Each insurance policy required above shall provide that coverage shall not be canceled, except with notice to the City.
5. Waiver of Subrogation: Lessee hereby grants to City a waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of said Lessee may acquire against the City by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance. Lessee agrees to obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation, but this provision applies regardless of whether or not the City has received a waiver of subrogation endorsement from the insurer.
6. Acceptability of Insurers: Insurance is to be placed with insurers authorized to conduct business in the state with a current A.M. Best’s rating of no less than A: VII, unless otherwise acceptable to the City.
7. Self-Insured Retentions: Self-insured retenti ons must be declared to and approved by the City. The City may require the Lessee to purchase coverage with a lower retention or provide proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention. The policy language shall provide, or be endorsed to provide, that the self-insured retention may be satisfied by either the named insured or City.
8. Verification of Coverage: Lessee shall furnish the City with original Certificates of Insurance including all required amendatory endorsements (or copies of the applicable policy language effecting coverage required by this clause) and a copy of the Declarations and Endorsement Page of the CGL policy listing all policy endorsements to City before occupying the premises. However, failure to obtain the required documents prior to the work beginning shall not waive the Lessee’s obligation to provide them. The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements, required by these specifications, at any time.
9. Special Risks or Circumstances: City reserves the right to modify these requirements at any time, including limits, based on the nature of the risk, prior experience, insurer, coverage, or other special circumstances.
