A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
APPROVING A MODEL LEASE TEMPLATE AND
MODEL PERMIT TEMPLATE FOR COMMERCIAL USES
LOCATED UPON TIDELANDS
WHEREAS, pursuant to the 1978 Beacon Bay Bill, as amended, ( "Beacon Bay
Bill ") the City of Newport Beach ( "City ") acts on behalf of the State of California as the
trustee of tidelands located within the City's limits, including Newport Harbor;
WHEREAS, Section 1(b) of the Beacon Bay Bill and Section 17.60.060 of the
Newport Beach Municipal Code ( "NBMC ") allow the City to authorize third parties to use
tidelands for commercial purposes for a term not to exceed fifty (50) years;
WHEREAS, on July 27, 2010 the City Council formed the Council Ad Hoc
Committee on Harbor Charges ( "Committee ") and tasked the Committee with
performing a comprehensive review of tidelands uses to consider the conversion of
existing permits to leases and to assist the City Council in developing a template
tideland lease /permit form;
WHEREAS, the Committee and members of the Committee held public outreach
meetings with commercial tidelands users to solicit their input and participation in the
tidelands review process and these meetings afforded the public the opportunity to
comment on this matter as well as provided the public information relating to this matter;
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered all documents and comments in the
record in connection with this resolution; and
WHEREAS, after considering all public input, the Committee recommends
adoption of a model lease and model permit to allow commercial tidelands users
flexibility to determine the option that best suits their needs.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach resolves as
follows:
Section 1: The Recitals provided above are true and correct and are
incorporated into the substantive portion of this resolution.
-1-
Section 2: The City Council finds that the model lease template for commercial
tidelands users attached to this resolution, and incorporated by this reference, satisfies
the requirement of NBMC Section 17.60.060(A) covering the conversion of existing
permits to leases. The City Council further finds that the commercial tidelands users
subject to the attached model lease template are not subject to the open bid process
found in City Council Policy F -7 because redevelopment/reuse of the tidelands by a
third party would require excessive time, resources and costs which would outweigh
other financial benefits.
Section 3: The City Council further finds that the model commercial tidelands
permit attached to this resolution, and incorporated by this reference, may be used by
commercial tidelands users as an alternative to the model lease template. The City
Council further finds that the commercial tidelands users subject to the attached model
permit are not subject to the open bid process found in City Council Policy F -7 because
redevelopment/reuse of the tidelands by a third party would require excessive time,
resources and costs which would outweigh other financial benefits.
Section 4: The City Council determines, even though it has discretion to make
determinations regarding the form of template lease /permit and rental provisions
therein, that the evidence in the record constitutes substantial evidence to support the
actions taken and the findings made in this resolution, that the facts stated in this
resolution are supported by substantial evidence in the record, including, without limit,
testimony received at public hearings, the Staff presentations and Staff reports made in
connection with this matter, all materials in project files, and the Netzer and Rasmuson
appraisal reports. The City Council expressly declares that it considered all evidence
presented and reached these findings after due consideration of all evidence presented
to it and determines that evidence presented that was contrary to the findings made in
this resolution was not sufficient or substantial enough to outweigh the evidence
supporting this resolution.
Section 6: Pursuant to NBMC Section 17.60.060(A) and its power under the
Beacon Bay Bill, the City Council approves the attached model lease template and the
attached model permit template for commercial tidelands uses. Notwithstanding City
Council Policy F -7, the City Council authorizes the City Manager or his /her designee to
enter into the attached lease /permit, in a form that is substantially similar to the attached
model lease template and model permit with commercial tidelands users. At his /her
discretion, the City Manager may refer any commercial tidelands lease /permit to the
City Council for consideration.
Section 6: The City Council finds the adoption of a model lease template and
model permit template for commercial tidelands uses is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will
not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378)
-2-
of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it
has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or
indirectly. Alternatively, the City Council finds the adoption of a model lease template
and model permit template for commercial tidelands uses is entitled to a Class 1
Categorical Exemption pursuant to CEQA Regulation Section 15301 because the
lease /permit contemplates the continued use of existing facilities, with no expansion of
the proposed use. Further, the City Council finds the setting of Rent for commercial
Tidelands uses and the adoption of a model lease template and model permit template
for commercial tidelands uses to implement the Rent is entitled to a Statutory
Exemption pursuant to CEQA Regulation Section 15273(a)(1) because the fair market
value Rent established by the City Council and implemented by the lease /permit will be
used to meet operating expenses within the tidelands.
Section 7: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this
resolution is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall
not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this resolution. The
City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this resolution, and each
section, subsection, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or
more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses and phrases be declared
unconstitutional.
Section 8: This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by
the City Council, and the City Clerk shall certify the vote adopting the resolution.
ADOPTED this 13°i day of November, 2012.

claims or demands before any action is brought to enforce the same against the
Premises or the Improvement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessee

and Improvements shall be removed by Lessee within ninety (90) calendar days
following the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Lessee shall continue to pay
Rent to Lessor during the time Lessee removes the Improvements from the Premises,
as provided in Section 20(b). Alternatively, Lessee, with Lessor's written consent, may
quitclaim all fixtures, equipment, and Improvements on the Premises to Lessor. Lessor
acknowledges the bulkhead is owned by Lessee and Lessor has no rights to use any
portion of such bulkhead. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement as
permitted by California Public Resources Code Section 6312, or any successor statute,
the parties agree that upon expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement Lessor
shall have no liability or obligation to pay compensation for any improvements made to
the Premises.
15. Right to Enter the Premises for Inspection
Lessor expressly reserves the right and shall be entitled to enter the Premises, and all
Improvements, including a right of reasonable access to the Premises across Lessee
owned or occupied lands adjacent to the Premises, to inspect the Premises for
compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Unless otherwise provided in this
Agreement, Lessee shall provide Lessor access to the Premises for such purposes,
upon not less than seventy-two (72) hours written notice.
16. Transfers / Hypothecation for Financing
(a) Transfers: Except as expressly provided herein, Lessee and its successors shall
not either voluntarily, or by operation of law, engage in a Transfer without first
providing written request to Lessor and obtaining Lessor's prior written consent
which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth herein, Lessee may, without consent from the City,
assign all or a portion of its interest in the Premises and /or this Agreement to any
entity or person affiliated with Lessee or a partner member, shareholder or
trustee of Lessee ( "Permitted Transferees'). Lessee agrees that Lessor's
discretion to provide, withhold or condition consent to any Transfer (except for
the Permitted Transfers to a Permitted Transferee in which the City has no
consent) includes, without limitation, Lessor's discretion in administering the
Tidelands, which are a valuable public resource held by Lessor in trust for the
people of the State of California; therefore, Lessor's decision to grant, withhold or
condition consent shall be reasonable. A Transfer made in violation of this
Section 16, including without limitation the obligation to receive Lessor's prior
consent, is a default subject to the cure right in Section 18(b).
Lessee shall comply with the following requirements for any Transfer. Lessee
agrees that failure to satisfy these requirements are reasonable bases for Lessor
to deny consent (but is not exhaustive of the bases to deny consent):
(1) Lessee shall give Lessor at least thirty (30) calendar days written
notice of its proposed Transfer and provide appropriate
documentation demonstrating to Lessor's satisfaction the financial
and operational responsibility and appropriateness of the
proposed transferee. Lessee shall provide Lessor within five (5)
calendar days such other or additional information and /or
documentation as may be reasonably requested by Lessor.
0

(5) Lessee shall pay all Lessor's costs associated with Lessor's
consideration of the Transfer, regardless of whether such transfer

(d) Hypothecation for Financing: For the purpose of financing or refinancing the
acquisition of the Premises, the Improvements, the fixtures and equipment
located on the Premises, the alteration, construction or reconstruction of
Improvements, Lessee may engage in a Transfer to a Leasehold Mortgagee only
if, in addition to such other applicable provisions in this Agreement, the
provisions in this Section 16(d) are satisfied. In no event shall Leasehold
-10-
Mortgages either individually or collectively exceed a loan -to -value ratio of
seventy -five percent (75 %) of the Premises.
(i) Notice to Lessor. Lessee shall provide Lessor with a fully executed
complete copy of each Leasehold Mortgage, and all related loan
documents (including copies of all appraisals), any and all amendments
thereto, and the name and address of each Leasehold Mortgagee. In the
event of any assignment of a Leasehold Mortgage or in the event of a
change of address of a Leasehold Mortgagee, Lessee shall provide the
new name and address of the assignee or Leasehold Mortgagee to
Lessor. Notices of default and notices of foreclosure shall be given to
Lessor contemporaneously with service on Lessee.
(ii) Notices to Leasehold Mortgagees. A Leasehold Mortgagee shall not be
entitled to notice or a copy of any notice from Lessor unless Lessee

Mortgagee who is entitled to notice as provided in Section 16(d)(ii) shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to remedy the default or acts or
omissions of Lessee within the period and in the manner specified in this

monetary defaults) following the expiration of the Lessee's cure period;
provided, however, Lessor shall not be required to furnish any further
notice(s) of default(s) to said Leasehold Mortgagee.

(1) Upon Leasehold Mortgagee's remedy of Lessee's default to the
reasonable satisfaction of Lessor, this Agreement shall continue
provided that a Leasehold Mortgagee:

under this Agreement as the same becomes due, and
perform all of Lessee's other obligations under this
Agreement; and
b. If not enjoined or stayed, takes steps to acquire or sell
Lessee's interest in this Agreement and in the Premises to
an assignee, future transferee or purchaser by foreclosure
of the Leasehold Mortgage or other appropriate means,
and prosecutes the same to completion with reasonable
diligence.
(2) Nothing in this Section 16(d) shall extend this Agreement beyond
the Term or any Renewal Term; nor to require a Leasehold
Mortgagee to continue such foreclosure proceedings after a
-11-
breach or default has been remedied. If Lessee's breach or
default is remedied and the Leasehold Mortgagee discontinues
such foreclosure proceedings, this Agreement, at Lessor's option
and in its sole and absolute discretion, may continue as if no
breach or default under this Agreement occurred.
(3) Before a Leasehold Mortgagee, or any other assignee, future
transferee or purchaser by foreclosure of the Leasehold Mortgage,
acquires the Leasehold Estate, it shall, as an express condition
precedent, agree in writing to assume each and every obligation
under the Agreement. Regardless, with the exception of said
Leasehold Mortgagee, no Transfer to an assignee, future
transferee or purchaser by foreclosure of a Leasehold Mortgage
shall be effective without Lessor's prior written consent, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(4) The assignee, purchaser or future transferee at any sale of this
Agreement or of the Leasehold Estate in any proceedings for the
foreclosure of or trustee's sale under any Leasehold Mortgage, or
pursuant to any deed in lieu of foreclosure, shall be deemed an
assignee or transferee of this Agreement, and shall be deemed to
have agreed to perform all of the terms, covenants and conditions
on the part of Lessee to be performed in this Agreement but only
from and after the date of such purchase and assignment, and
only for so long as such purchaser; future transferee or assignee
is the owner of the Leasehold Estate.
(5) If Lessor denies consent to (a) the successful bidder or purchaser
upon foreclosure or (b) a proposed future transferee, assignee or
sublessee of the Leasehold Mortgagee, the sole and exclusive
remedy shall be for such party or the Leasehold Mortgagee to
seek relief in the nature of specific performance.
(6) A Leasehold Mortgagee shall include a statement in any Notice of
Foreclosure Sale that provides the requirements for Lessor's
consent.
(v) Casualty Loss. A standard lender's loss payable endorsement naming
each Leasehold Mortgagee may be added to-any and all insurance
policies required to be carried by Lessee hereunder. Nevertheless, the
provisions in any Leasehold Mortgage for the application of insurance
proceeds shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and, in the
event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the
provisions of any Leasehold Mortgage with respect thereto, the provisions
of this Agreement shall control.
(vi) Limitation on Lessee's Right to Encumber. Any Leasehold Mortgage now
or hereafter placed on Lessee's interest in the Premises shall be subject
and subordinate to any limitations in the Tidelands Grants, Lessor's
interest in the Tidelands, this Agreement, and any mortgage now in
existence on the Leasehold Estate. Lessee shall not use. encumber or
-12-
Transfer this Agreement or the Premises as security or collateral for any
action unless directly related to the Tidelands and the permitted uses
allowed by this Agreement.
(vii) No Rights to Encumber Interest of Lessor. The provisions of Section 16
do not give any entity the right to mortgage, hypothecate, cause a
Transfer of, or otherwise encumber or cause any liens to be placed
against the Lessor's interest in the Premises as trustee of the Tidelands,
nor shall anything in this Agreement be construed as resulting in a
subordination in whole or in part of Lessor's interests.
(viii) Estoppel Certificate. Lessor shall, within ten (10) business days after
written request from Lessee or any Leasehold Mortgagee, certify by
written instrument to any Leasehold Mortgagee or proposed Leasehold
Mortgagee: (a) as to whether this Agreement has been modified,
supplemented, amended, extended or renewed; (b) as to the existence of
any breach or default of this Agreement; and (c) as to the commencement
and expiration dates of the term of this Agreement.
17. Bankruptcy
Lessee agrees that if all, or substantially all, of Lessee's assets are placed in the hands
of a receiver or trustee and remain so for a period of thirty (30) calendar days; or if
Lessee makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or be adjudicated bankrupt; or if
Lessee institutes any proceedings under the Bankruptcy Act or similar law wherein
Lessee seeks to be adjudicated bankrupt or to be discharged of its debts or seeks to
effect a plan of liquidation or reorganization; or if any involuntary proceedings be filed
against Lessee and not dismissed or stayed within one hundred twenty (120) calendar
days, then this Agreement or any interest in and to the Premises shall not become an
asset in any such proceeding and, to the extent permitted by law (and in addition to the
provisions of Section 18) Lessor may declare this Agreement terminated and take
possession of the Premises.
18. Defaults
The occurrence of any of the following constitutes a default of this Agreement by
Lessee:

hundred (300) consecutive calendar days after the date of Lessor's written notice
to Lessee.
(b) Failure to make any payment required by this Agreement when such failure
continues for a period of fifteen (15) calendar days after the date of Lessor's
written notice that payment is due (unless another time period within which to
make payment is specifically provided); provided that any such notice provided in
this Section 18(b) or in Section 18(c) shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any
notice required under Section 1161 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, as
may be amended.
-13-
(c) Failure of Lessee to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions, or
provisions in this Agreement, except for a monetary default specified in
Section 18(b) above, where such failure continues for a period of thirty (30)
calendar days after the date of Lessor's written notice of the default (unless
another time period within which to perform is specifically provided in this
Agreement); provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's default is such that
more than thirty (30) calendar days are reasonably required to complete its cure,
then Lessee shall not be in default if Lessee commences to cure the default
within thirty (30) calendar days after written notice and thereafter diligently and
continuously pursues the cure to completion.
(d) Any of the events in Section 17 occur; provided that this provision is not
applicable or binding on a Leasehold Mortgagee which is of record and has been
consented to by Lessor, or to said Leasehold Mortgagee's successors in interest
consented to by Lessor, as long as (i) there remains any monies to be paid by
Lessee to such Leasehold Mortgagee under the terms of such Leasehold
Mortgage, (ii) that such Leasehold Mortgagee or its successors in interest,
continuously and timely pays to Lessor all Rent due or coming due under the
provisions of this Agreement and the Premises are continuously and actively
used and (iii) that said Leasehold Mortgagee agrees in writing to assume and
perform each and every obligation under the Agreement.

remedies described in this Section 19, which are in addition to all other rights and
remedies provided by law, equity or elsewhere in this Agreement. Lessor shall
have the right to elect its remedies and may resort to any such remedies
cumulatively, or in the alternative.
(i) Maintain Agreement. Lessor may maintain this Agreement in full force

thirty (30) calendar days written notice. If Lessor terminates this
Agreement, Lessor may recover possession (which Lessee shall
surrender and vacate upon demand) and remove all persons, and
property and Improvements. Lessor shall be entitled to recover the
following as damages:
(1) The Worth at the Time of Award of the unpaid Rent, Additional
Rent or other charges which had been earned at the time of
termination;
(2) The Worth at the Time of Award of the amount by which the
unpaid Rent, Additional Rent or other charges which would have
been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the
-14-
20.
amount of such loss that Lessee proves could have been
reasonably avoided;
(3) The Worth at the Time of Award of the amount by which the
unpaid Rent, Additional Rent or other charges for the balance of
the Term of this Agreement after the time of award exceeds the
amount of such loss that Lessee proves could have been
reasonably avoided;
(4) Any other amount necessary to reasonably compensate Lessor
for the detriment proximately caused by Lessee's failure to
perform its obligations under this Agreement;
(5) At Lessor's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of
the foregoing as may be permitted from time -to -time by applicable
California law; and

expenses (including, without limitation, actual attorneys' fees and
costs) incurred by Lessor in maintaining or preserving the
Premises after default, preparing the Premises for re- letting, or
repairing any damage caused by the act or omission of Lessee.
The "Worth at the Time of Award" of the amounts referred to in
"(1)" and "(2)" above shall be computed by charging interest at ten
percent (10 %) per annum from the dates such amounts accrued
to Lessor. The "Worth at the Time of Award" of the amount
referred to in "(3)" above shall be computed by discounting such
amount at ten percent (10 %) per annum.
(b) Waiver of Rights. Lessee waives any right of redemption or relief from forfeiture
under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174 or 1179, or under any
other present or future law, if Lessee is evicted or Lessor takes possession of the
Premises by reason of any default by Lessee.
Surrender of Premises
(a) Upon expiration or earlier termination, of this Agreement Lessee shall peaceably
surrender the Premises to Lessor.
(b) If Lessee elects to remove any fixtures, improvements (including all
Improvements to which Lessee has title), or if Lessor declines Lessee's offer to
accept ownership of the same, then Lessee shall restore the Premises to its
natural state as deemed acceptable by Lessor. All plans for Lessee's
subsequent removal shall be to the reasonable satisfaction of Lessor and shall
be completed no later than ninety (90) calendar days after the expiration or
sooner termination of this Agreement or other time line agreed upon by the
Lessor. During any period of time employed by Lessee to remove fixtures,
improvements (including all Improvements to which Lessee has title) Lessee
shall continue to pay Rent to Lessor in accordance with this Agreement, which
said Rent shall be prorated daily.
-15-
(c) Any holding over by Lessee after either expiration or earlier termination shall not
constitute a renewal or extension, or give Lessee any rights in or to the
Premises. If Lessee, with Lessor's consent, remains in possession of the
Premises after Agreement expiration or earlier termination (including for the
purpose of Lessee's removal of Improvements), such possession shall be
deemed a month -to -month tenancy terminable upon thirty (30) calendar days'
notice furnished at any time by either party to the other. In addition, all provisions
of this Agreement, except those pertaining to Term, shall apply to the month -to-
month tenancy, and Lessee shall continue to pay all Rent required by this
Agreement. Provided, however, Rent shall be paid monthly on the first (1st) day
of the month.

Premises are taken through Condemnation, Lessee shall have the option to
terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Lessor. Lessee's notice
must be given within thirty (30) calendar days after Lessee's receipt of Lessor's
notice provided pursuant to subparagraph (a) above, and if Lessee's notice of
termination is not timely given, then Lessee shall conclusively be deemed to
have elected not to terminate this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated
under this Section, the termination shall be effective on the Termination Date,
and Lessor shall prorate Rent to that date. Lessee must pay Rent for the period
up to, but not including, the Termination Date, as prorated by Lessor. Lessor
shall return to Lessee any prepaid Rent allocable to any period on or after the
Termination Date.
(c) If any part of the Premises is taken by Condemnation and this Agreement is not
terminated, Rent shall be proportionately reduced based on the value of the
actual portion of the Premises taken as a percentage of the value of the entire
Premises, in its "before" condition and without regard to any injury to the
remainder, or benefit to the remainder,' resulting from the taking or the
construction of the project for which the taking occurs. Lessor shall make such
determination of the amount of reduction in Rent in its reasonable discretion,
based upon either the appraisal for the Condemnation provided by the
Condemnor, or pursuant to an appraisal prepared in the manner provided in
Section 43, as Lessor shall determine. Lessor and Lessee agree to execute an
amendment or other appropriate instrument modifying this Agreement within
thirty (30) calendar days after a partial taking, confirming the reduction in
Premises and reduction in Rent.

any government power by Condemnor or'(ii) a voluntary sale or transfer by
Lessor to any Condemnor, either under threat of exercise of eminent domain by
a Condemnor or while legal proceedings for condemnation are pending, Rent
shall abate during the time of such taking but only with respect to that physical
portion of the Premises actually temporarily taken, and all Rent or other
compensation paid by the Condemnor shall be the sole and exclusive property of
Lessor.
(e) In the event of a total or partial Condemnation, though the award shall belong
and be paid to Lessor, Lessee shall be entitled to claim and receive, and Lessor
hereby assigns to Lessee, from such award:
(i) A sum attributable to the fair market value of any and all Improvements
made to the condemned portion(s) of the Premises by Lessee in
accordance with this Agreement, which Improvements Lessee has the
right to remove, but elects not to remove; or, if Lessee elects to remove
any such Improvements, a sum attributable to their reasonable removal
and relocation costs not to exceed the fair market value of such
Improvements; and
(ii) A sum. attributable to any excess of the present value at the date of taking
of the fair market rental value of the condemned portion(s) of the
Premises, exclusive of any of Lessee's Improvements for which it is
compensated under subsection (i), above, for the remainder of the term
over the present value at the date of taking of the actual Rent payable by
Lessee hereunder for the condemned portion(s) for the remainder of the
term; and
(iii) A sum attributable to any diminution of the present value at the date of
taking of the fair market rental value (i.e., that portion or those portions
not condemned) for the remainder of the term; and
(iv) Any sum awarded or paid to Lessee by any Condemnor for damage to
Lessee's business or for "loss of goodwill."

Claims. This indemnification provision and any other indemnification provided
elsewhere in this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and

release or inquiry.
(f) If the presence of any Hazardous Substances brought onto the Premises by
Lessee or Lessee's employees, agents, sublessees, licensees, concessionaires,
contractors, or invitees ( "Lessee Parties'), or generated by same during the Term

liquidated, conditional, or contingent, then Lessee shall, at the request of
Lessor, procure and thereafter maintain in full force and effect such
environmental impairment liability and /or pollution liability insurance
policies and endorsements, or shall otherwise provide such collateral or
security reasonably acceptable to Lessor as is appropriate to assure that
Lessee will be able to perform its duties and obligations hereunder.

imposes a new fee, which exceeds the cost of providing the service, against the
Premises, the Lessee has the right to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) calendar
days notice to Lessor.
Not Agent of Lessor
Neither anything in this Agreement nor any acts of Lessee shall authorize Lessee or any
of its employees, agents or contractors to act as agent, contractor, joint venturer or
employee of Lessor for any purpose. The parties' relationship under this Agreement is
exclusively that of a lessor and lessee.
-20-
28. No Third Party Beneficiaries

by any provision of this Agreement, to create in any third party, any benefit or right owed
by one party, under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to the other party.
29. Limitation of Leasehold / Easements
This Agreement and the rights and privileges granted Lessee in and to the Premises and
Improvements are subject to all covenants, conditions, restrictions, and exceptions of
record, including those which are set out in the Tidelands Grant by the State of California
to Lessor. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any related document shall be
construed to imply the conveyance to Lessee of rights in the Premises or Improvements
that exceed those owned by Lessor. This Agreement and the rights and privileges
granted Lessee in and to the Premises shall be further subject to future easements and
rights -of -way for access, gas, electricity, water, sewer, drainage, telephone, telegraph,
television transmission, and such other utilities as Lessor may determine from time to
time to be in the best interests of the development of the lands within Lessor's
jurisdiction, provided, however, that no easements, rights -of -way, or the installation of
such facilities by Lessor, shall materially interfere with Lessee's business. Easements
and rights -of -ways allowed by this section shall be limited in purpose to providing the
utilities contemplated in this section. Nothing in this section gives a utility a right to
attach any item to the Improvements. Lessee is not entitled to any monetary payment or
other remuneration for any such future easements and rights -of -way.

-24-
(e) Lessee accepts and assumes the risk that the City of Newport Beach or other

opportunity, loss of goodwill or loss of use) under, or relating to, this Agreement or any of
the matters referred to in this Agreement, including, without limitation, any and all plans,
permits, licenses or regulatory approvals, CEQA documents, and Transfers.
Accordingly, Lessee covenants and agrees on behalf of itself and its successors and
assigns, not to sue Lessor (either in its capacity as lessor in this Agreement or in its
capacity as the City of Newport Beach) for damages (including, but not limited to, actual
damages, economic damages, consequential damages, lost profits, loss of rents or other
revenues, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill or loss of use) or monetary relief
for any breach of this Agreement by Lessor or for any dispute, controversy, or issue

the matters referred to in this Agreement, including, without limitation, any and all plans,
permits, licenses or regulatory approvals, CEQA documents, Transfers or any future
amendments or enactments thereto, the parties agreeing that declaratory relief,
injunctive relief, mandate and specific performance shall be Lessee's sole and exclusive
judicial remedies.
43. Appraisals
This Section governs the process for all appraisals required or permitted in this
Agreement. Any time an appraisal is required or permitted by this Agreement, Lessor
and Lessee shall each select an independent appraiser with qualifications of MAI to
appraise Tidelands properties. Each party shall pay the costs of their selected
appraiser. If the two (2) appraisals return with a fair market value that is within five
-25-
percent (5 %) of each other the two (2) appraisal fair market values shall be averaged to
produce the fair market value of the affected Premises. For clarity, if one (1) appraiser
concludes thirteen percent (13 %) and one (1) appraiser concludes fifteen percent (15 %)
the difference in their conclusions is thirteen and 333/1,OOOths percent (13.333 %) and
therefore a third appraisal would be needed. If the two (2) appraisers should fail to
agree on the fair market value, and the difference between the two appraisals exceeds
five percent (5 %), then the two (2) appraisers thus appointed shall mutually appoint a
third MAI designated appraiser, and in case of their failure to agree on a third appraiser
within thirty (30) calendar days after their individual determination of the fair market
value, either party may apply to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court for Orange
County, requesting said Judge to appoint the third MAI designated appraiser. The costs
of the third appraiser, if any, shall be split equally between the Lessor and the Lessee.
The third appraiser so appointed shall meet and confer with the two (2) other appraisers
and then conduct its own analysis to determine the fair market value of the affected
Premises within sixty (60) calendar days of their appointment and the average of the fair
market value per square foot as set forth in the appraisals of the two (2) closest
appraisers shall be used as the fair market value. All MAI appraisers appointed or
selected pursuant to this subsection shall have at least ten (10) years experience
appraising Tidelands in the Southern California area and shall be free of conflicts (i.e.,
no appraisers shall rent a boat slip or office space from Lessor or lessees, etc.).
44. Reserved
45. Late Charges and Delinquency Rates
A ten percent (10 %) late charge shall be added to all payments due but not received by
Lessor with ten (10) calendar days following the due date, unless another due date is
specified in this Agreement. In addition, all unpaid amounts shall accrue at a
delinquency rate of one and a half percent (1' /z %) per month or any portion of a month
until paid in full. Lessor and Lessee hereby agree that such late charges and
delinquency rates represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur
by Lessee's late payment, including, without limitation, lost opportunities and the cost of
servicing the delinquent account. Lessee agrees that such late charges and
delinquency rates are Additional Rent and are not interest. Acceptance of such late
charges and delinquency rates (and /or any portion of the overdue payment) by Lessor
does not constitute a waiver of Lessee's default with respect to such overdue payment,
or prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted in this
Agreement.
46. Reserved
47. Government Claims Act
Lessee and Lessor agree that in addition to any claims filing or notice requirements in
this Agreement, Lessee shall file any claim that Lessee may have against Lessor in strict
conformance with the Government Claims Act (Government Code sections 900 et seq.).
