THIS BEACON BAY LEASE ("Lease") is entered into as of the 2 r day of July,
2020 ("Effective Date"), by and between the City of Newport Beach, a California municipal
corporation, tideland's trustee, and charter city ("Lessor" or "City") and James J. Irwin and
Elizabeth A. Irwin, Managers of Tradition Asset Management, LLC, a California limited
liability company ("Lessee"). Lessor and Lessee are sometimes individually referred to
herein as "Party" and collectively as the "Parties."
RECITALS
A. Lessor by virtue of a 1978 legislative grant found in Chapter 74 of the
Statutes of 1978, as amended ("Beacon Bay Bill"), holds the right, title, and interest to
certain tidelands and uplands commonly known as Beacon Bay and generally depicted
in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated by reference.
B. The Beacon Bay Bill frees the "Westerly portion" of the filled tidelands from
the public trust and specifically authorizes the lease of the property for residential
purposes subject to certain express statutory conditions.
C. As required by the Beacon Bay Bill, the consideration to be received by the
City for the residential leases is the fair market rental value of such lots as finished
subdivided lots with streets constructed and all utilities installed.
D. On November 3, 1987, a majority of the electors in the City approved a
measure authorizing the City Council to enter into residential leases in Beacon Bay for a
period not to exceed fifty (50) years.
E. On November 3, 1992, a majority of the electors in the City approved
Measure M authorizing the City Council to lease tidelands and waterfront property
consistent with the provisions of state law.
F. The City Council, pursuant to the authority conferred by the electors and the
Beacon Bay Bill, leased out the residential lots within Beacon Bay for fifty (50) year terms.
G. The current residential leases are set to expire on July 1, 2044, which is
preventing certain persons with existing leases within Beacon Bay from obtaining a
traditional thirty (30) year mortgage.
H. Lessor and Lessee desire a new residential lease for Beacon Bay with a
new fifty (50) year term and new provisions that are reflective of current conditions.
I. City has determined this Lease is consistent with the Beacon Bay Bill, the
City's Charter, General Plan, Zoning Ordinances, and all other applicable state and local
laws.
J. The California State Lands Commission reviewed the form of this Lease
and the range of consideration to be received by the City and determined that the Lease
is in conformance with the provisions in the Beacon Bay Bill.

in Exhibit "B", and generally depicted on Exhibit "A", each attached hereto and
incorporated by reference herein. If Lessee is a Limited Liability Corporation ("LLC")
Lessee shall provide Lessor with the name of its majority shareholder at the time of
execution of this Lease. The LLC may not change its majority shareholder without the
prior written consent of the City's City Manager or his/her designee. If approved, a change
of the majority shareholder triggers a re -appraisal of the Property and an adjustment of
Base Rent pursuant to the re -appraisal process in Section 3.6(b).
1.2 Reservation of Mineral Rights. Lessor expressly reserves all oil, oil rights,
gas, minerals, mineral rights, natural gas rights and other hydrocarbon substances in and
under the Property and the right to grant and transfer the same, together with all
necessary and convenient rights to explore for, develop, produce and extract and take
the same, subject to the express limitation that any and all operations shall be carried on
at levels below the depth of five hundred feet (500') from the surface of the land by means
of wells, derricks and other equipment from surface locations on adjoining or neighboring
land, and subject further to all restrictions and regulations concerning the drilling for, and
production of, oil, gas, minerals, petroleum and other hydrocarbon substances specified
in the City's Charter and Municipal Code.
1.3 Net Lease. This Lease is a net lease, pursuant to which Lessor has no
obligation with respect to the payment of taxes, insurance, the cost of maintenance,
utilities and repairs or other costs or obligations associated with the Property, except as
expressly stated herein.
1.4 Termination of Prior Lease(s). Lessee affirmatively represents that: (a) the
persons executing this Lease have a hundred percent (100%) of all interests in any prior
lease(s) covering the Property; and (b) have authority to execute this Lease and be bound
by the terms herein. Upon the execution of this Lease, any lease(s) between the City and
the Lessee or any other party covering the Property shall automatically terminate and be
of no further effect. Lessee shall execute and record any document(s) that may be
required by City to evidence the termination of any prior lease(s) covering the Property.
City shall owe no compensation to Lessee or any other party for the termination of a lease
under this section. Lessee shall indemnify and hold the City harmless from any and all

2. TERM OF LEASE
2.1 Fixed Term. The term of this Lease shall be for a fixed period of fifty (50)
years commencing as of July 2,L , 2020 ("Commencement Date") and terminating on
July , 2070. The total term may not exceed fifty (50) years pursuant to the Beacon
Bay Bill.
2.2 Options. Upon the written request of Lessee and in the sole and absolute
discretion of City, this Lease may be terminated and a new lease (with the most current
terms approved by the City and/or State Lands Commission) executed with a term not to
exceed fifty (50) years pursuant to the payment of the "Option Fee" by Lessee for each
year the term is extended. The new lease's term shall be the cumulative total of the
purchased years under this section and the remaining years in this Lease (i.e., if ten (10)
years and one (1) month remain in this Lease and five (5) years are purchased under this
section the new lease shall be for a term of fifteen (15) years and one (1) month). The
Option Fee shall be calculated pursuant to a specified percentage, as provided in Exhibit
"C", attached hereto and incorporated by reference, of the fair market value of the
Property as determined by an appraisal, multiplied by the number of years that are
purchased by the Lessee (i.e., for illustrative purposes, if the specified percentage is one
percent (1 %) and the appraised Property value is one hundred dollars ($100) and Lessee
desires to extend the term five (5) years, Lessee would owe the City five dollars ($5) [$1
x 5 years= $5]). The Option Fee shall be paid to City by Lessee at the time of execution
of the new lease.
The Property appraisal shall be conducted after the City's approval of the written
request submitted by Lessee. The City's approval of the written request shall be valid for
six (6) months or some other time period as may be agreed upon by the parties. Lessor
shall submit three (3) California licensed appraisers to Lessee; Lessee shall select one
(1) appraiser from the three (3) submitted appraisers to appraise the Property. Lessee
shall pay all costs associated with the appraiser and the appraisal. For purposes of the
Option Fee calculation, in no event shall the appraised fair market value be less than the
Property value used to determine Base Rent (as defined in Section 3.2) in Sections 3.1
and 3.2 of the then effective Lease. Because there will be no sale of the Property, the
Base Rent for the new lease shall be calculated pursuant to Section 3.6(b),
notwithstanding the appraisal requirement in Section 3.6(b), the parties may rely upon the
appraisal conducted pursuant to this section to calculate the Base Rent.
2.3 Holdover. This Lease shall terminate and become null and void
without further notice upon the expiration of the term of this Lease. Any holding over by
Lessee after the expiration of the term shall not constitute a renewal or extension and
shall not give Lessee any rights in or to the Property or any part thereof except as
expressly provided in this Lease. Any holding over after the expiration of the term with
the consent of Lessor shall be construed to be a tenancy from month-to-month on the
same terms and conditions set forth in this Lease insofar as such terms and conditions
can be applicable to a month-to-month tenancy, except that the rental for each month or
any portion thereof during such holdover period shall be an amount equal to one hundred
fifty percent (150%) of one -twelfth (1/12) of the annual rent for the most recent year paid.
Tradition Asset Management, LLC Lease 3
The month-to-month tenancy may be terminated by Lessee or Lessor upon thirty (30)
calendar days' prior written notice to the other.
3. RENT & TRANSFERABILITY
3.1 Rent Calculation. Annual rent for the Property shall be calculated at the
rate of two and half percent (2.5%) of the total of all consideration paid for the Property
or the appraised value of the Property, including any improvements or structures, but
excluding any consideration paid for the transfer of personal property in connection with
such transaction. The annual rent shall be adjusted from time -to -time pursuant to Section
3.3. The rent calculation provided in this section shall serve as the basis for the Base
Rent (defined below) in Section 3.2.
3.2 Base Rent. Lessee agrees to pay Lessor rent for the use and occupancy
of the Property, in twelve (12) equal monthly installments on the first day of each month
("Base Rent"). Said sums shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America.
If the Commencement Date is other than the first day of a month, rent during any partial
month at the beginning and at the end of the lease term will be prorated. Base Rent
hereunder will be Eleven Thousand Eight Hundred Seventy -Five Dollars and 00/100
($11,875.00) for an annual total of One Hundred Forty -Two Thousand Five Hundred
Dollars ($142,500.00). Base Rent due hereunder will be subject to the rent adjustment
provisions of Section 3.3 below. Lessee shall send said rent to the mailing address or
send an electronic fund transfer via the web address provided in Section 3.5. Lessee
shall be responsible for any delays in the mode of sending the rent payment to Lessor.
(a) Base Rent shall be due on the first day of each month. If said rent is
received later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the month, there shall be a delinquency
charge equal to five percent (5%) of the month's Base Rent due.
(b) Each monthly installment of Base Rent shall bear interest if not paid
promptly on or before the date it becomes delinquent at the rate of five percent (5%) per
annum from the date it becomes delinquent until it is paid by Lessee to Lessor. This
interest charge shall be in addition to the delinquency charge set forth in Section 3.2(a).
3.3 Rent Adjustments. Monthly Base Rent maybe adjusted on July 1St of each
Lease Year (the term "Lease Year" as used herein refers to successive twelve (12) month
periods, commencing with the Commencement Date of this Lease) to reflect increases or
decreases in the cost of living as indicated by the Consumer Price Index described below.
Monthly Base Rent may be adjusted if the Consumer Price Index for the Los Angeles —
Orange County - Riverside Area, All Urban Consumers, All Items ("Index"), as published
by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics ("Bureau"),
increases or decreases over the Base Period Index. The initial "Base Period Index" shall
be the Index for the calendar month which is four (4) months prior to the month of the
Commencement Date (thus, March 2020, which equals 276.589). The initial Base Period
Index shall be compared with the Index for the same calendar month for each subsequent
Lease Year ("Comparison Index"). The Comparison Index used for a given year's
adjustment calculation will become the Base Period Index for purposes of the next annual
Tradition Asset Management, LLC Lease 4
rent adjustment calculation. If the Comparison Index is higher or lower than the Base
Period Index, then Base Rent for the next Lease Year shall be increased or decreased
by the amount of such percentage change. Should the Bureau discontinue the publication
of the above Index, or publish same less frequently, or alter same in some other manner,
then the Parties shall adopt a substitute Index or substitute procedure which reasonably
reflects and monitors consumer prices.
Notwithstanding the Index adjustments described above, if Lessor, in its sole and
absolute discretion, believes that notwithstanding such adjustments, monthly Base Rent,
as adjusted, does not accurately reflect the fair market rental value of the Property, Lessor
may elect to further adjust monthly Base Rent at the commencement of the thirtieth (30th)
Lease Year. Lessor will provide notice to Lessee not earlier than six (6) months nor later
than three (3) months prior to the expiration of the twenty-ninth (29th) Lease Year of
Lessor's election to further adjust monthly Base Rent. Within fifteen (15) days thereafter,
Lessor and Lessee will attempt to agree upon an adjustment in Base Rent. If Lessor and
Lessee are unable to agree, the Property will be appraised to determine its fair market
rental value. Lessor shall submit three (3) California licensed appraisers to Lessee;
Lessee shall select one (1) appraiser from the three (3) submitted appraisers to appraise
the Property. Lessor shall pay all costs associated with the appraiser and the appraisal.
The fair market rental value determined by the appraiser will constitute monthly Base
Rent for the thirtieth (30th) Lease Year and each successive year remaining on the Lease;
provided, however, that in no event will monthly Base Rent so determined be less than
that otherwise payable through the annual Index adjustments described above.
3.4 Additional Rent. All other payments from Lessee described in this Lease,
whether to Lessor or third parties (i.e., for the payment of taxes, utilities, insurance,
maintenance and the like) constitute "Additional Rent." Included within Additional Rent is
any service charge incurred by City when processing the Rent (e.g., credit card
transaction fee, etc.), such service charged shall be passed onto Lessee without any
additional mark-up by the City. All references in this Lease to "Rent" include Base Rent
and Additional Rent.
3.5 Place for Payment of Rent. All Rent that becomes due and payable under
this Lease shall be paid to Lessor in person or by United States mail at the Cashier's
Office located at 100 Civic Center Drive, P.O. Box 1768, Newport Beach, California
92658-8915, or electronically at www.newportbeachca.gov, or at any other place or
places that Lessor may designate by written notice to Lessee.
3.6 Calculation of Base Rent for Leases Without Corresponding Sale.
(a) Through January 1, 2015, Lessor will allow current lessees within
Beacon Bay to voluntarily terminate their prior lease (that had an effective date of July 1,
1994 and an expiration date of July 1, 2044) and enter into this Lease. No transfers from
the prior lease to this Lease are allowed after January 1, 2015. If a current lessee
terminates their prior lease and enters into this Lease prior to January 1, 2015 or if Lessee
purchases additional years pursuant to Section 2.2, there will not be a sale price to
calculate Base Rent.
Tradition Asset Management, LLC Lease 5
(b) The Base Rent shall be calculated at the rate of two and half percent
(2.5%) of the appraised fair market value of the Property including any improvements or
structures, but excluding any personal property. Lessor shall submit three (3) California
licensed appraisers to Lessee; Lessee shall select one (1) appraiser from the three (3)
submitted appraisers to appraise the Property. Lessee shall pay all costs associated with
the appraiser and the appraisal. In no event shall the Base Rent be less than the dollar
amount received by the Lessor under the former lease. The annual Base Rent shall be
adjusted from time -to -time pursuant to Section 3.3.
3.7 Prohibition Against Transfer or Assignment. With the exception of the
transfer and assignment provisions in Section 7 and Section 3.8, this Lease may not be
transferred or assigned by Lessee. Any attempt to transfer or assign this Lease shall be
an event of default subject to the remedies provided in Section 13.2. Any purported
assignment or transfer in violation of this section shall be null and void.
3.8 Exempt Transfers or Assignments. Notwithstanding the prohibition against
transfer and assignment provided in Section 3.7, the Lease may be transferred by Lessee
if:
(a) the transfer is caused by the death of a spouse and the full interest
of the deceased spouse is transferred to a surviving spouse;
(b) the transfer of an interest in this Lease is between or among tenants
in common or joint tenants in ownership of the leasehold estate created by this Lease,
and such tenants in common or joint tenants first acquired their respective interests in this
Lease simultaneously;
(c) the transfer is caused by the dissolution of the marriage of Lessee
and the full interest of one of the spouses is transferred to the other spouse;
(d) the transfer is to an inter vivos trust, living trust, or other similar estate
planning arrangement of Lessee and the sole beneficiaries are the Lessee, the Lessee's
spouse, or a tenant as contemplated in Section 3.8(b); or
(e) the transfer is to a LLC; provided at the time of transfer the Lessee
is the majority share holder of the LLC. The LLC may not change its majority shareholder
without the prior written consent of the City's City Manager or his/her designee. If
approved, a change of the majority shareholder triggers a re -appraisal of the Property
and an adjustment of Base Rent pursuant to the re -appraisal process in Section 3.6(b).
In the event of any transfer under this Section 3.8 the Lease term shall be
for the remaining years existing on the Lease prior to the transfer (i.e., the term shall not
be extended due to the transfer).

this Lease for a default or breach by Lessee by commencing foreclosure proceedings

conditions of this Lease requiring the payment or expenditure of money by Lessee until

conveyance of this Lease to Complying Lender.
7.7 New Lease. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, should this
Lease terminate or be terminated because of any default or breach by Lessee, Lessor
shall enter into a new lease with Lender as lessee provided:

of taking to the date of expiration of the term of this Lease.

for any award under this section.

Rent payable by Lessee hereunder shall be adjusted from the date of taking to the date
of the expiration of the term of this Lease. Such rental adjustment will be made by

Member at the time the assessment or other sums are levied. The Member may not waive or
otherwise escape liability for these assessments by nonuse of the Common Area or abandonment
of the Member's Residence.

year due to the cost of any construction, unexpected repairs or replacements of capital
improvements upon the Common Area, or any other reason, it shall make a special assessment
for the additional amount needed. Special assessments shall be levied and collected in the same
manner as regular assessments, except the method of payment shall be as determined by the

Before the Board may impose or collect an assessment in the type of emergency situation
described in (3) above, it shall pass a resolution containing written findings as to the necessity of

(a) Prepare the necessary documents, including an executed and
acknowledged certificate stating that damage has occurred, describing it, identifying the
improvement suffering the damage, the name of any insurer against whom claim is made, and

That declaration shall be recorded with the Recorder of Orange County within ninety (90) days
from the date of the damage or destruction.
(b) Should the Association elect to replace rather than repair the improvement
suffering the damage, obtain the approval of Declarant of the architectural plans of the proposed
improvement.
(c) Obtain firm bids (including the obligation to obtain a performance bond)
from two or more responsible contractors to rebuild the Common Area in accordance with its
original plans and specifications and, as soon as possible thereafter, call a special meeting of the
voting Members to consider the bids. If the Board fails to do so within 60 days after the casualty
occurs, any Member may obtain the bids and call and conduct the special meeting in the manner
required by this paragraph. At the meeting, Members representing at least 67 percent of the total
voting power may elect to reject all of the bids and thus not to rebuild, or Members representing
at least 51 percent of the total voting power may elect to reject all bids requiring amounts
exceeding the available insurance proceeds by more than $25,000. Failure to reject all bids shall
authorize the Board to accept the unrejected bid it considers most favorable. Failure to call the
special meeting or to repair the casualty damage within 12 months from the date the damage
occurred shall be deemed for all purposes to be a decision not to rebuild.
(d) If a bid is accepted, let the contract to the successful bidder and distribute
the insurance proceeds to the contractor as required by the contract.
(e) Levy a special assessment to make up any deficiency between the total
insurance proceeds and the contract price for the repair or rebuilding, with the assessment and all
insurance proceeds, whether or not subject to liens of mortgagees, to be used solely for the
rebuilding. This assessment shall be apportioned equally to each Residential Lot. If any Member
fails to pay the special assessment within 15 days after it is levied, the Board shall enforce the
assessment in the manner described in Section 4.08 of this Declaration.
Section 8.05 Election Not to Rebuild. Upon an election not to rebuild, the Board, as
soon as reasonably possible and as agent for the Members, shall execute and record a certificate
stating that the Association shall not rebuild. The net proceeds shall then be distributed to the
owners of the Residential Lots equally .
Section 8.06 Minor Restoration and Repair Work. The Association shall order
restoration or repair work without complying with the other provisions of this Article whenever
the estimated cost of the work does not exceed Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000). If
insurance proceeds are unavailable or insufficient, the Association shall levy a special
