City is the owner, and is in possession and control, of a parcel of real property, consisting of tidelands and/or uplands, located northerly of Balboa Boulevard and between approximately 16th Street and 18th Street in Newport Beach, commonly known as Marinapark, generally described in Exhibit "A" (Property); B. The Property was under lease prior to the effective date of the Charter of the City of Newport Beach and, pursuant to the provisions of Section 1402 of the City Charter, the City Council is empowered to authorize execution of this Lease by the Mayor; C. Prior to the effective date of this Amended Lease, and pursuant to a lease dated March 24, 1976, (hereinafter "1976 Lease"), the City leased 58 mobilehome spaces on the Property pursuant to a standard lease which would have expired on September 30, 1985, subject to the right of the Lessee to extend the term for a five (5) year period under certain conditions; D. Prior to the expiration of the 1976 Lease, the City leased the same 58 mobilehome spaces on the Property pursuant to a lease that would have expired on March 15, 2000 (1985 Lease) but for this Amended Lease; E. The City Council finds and declares that this Amended Lease will continue to preserve an important and unique housing resource and is a benefit to the citizens of Newport Beach; F. The Parties acknowledge that, subsequent to the effective date of the 1985 Lease, State Lands Commission staff has discovered evidence that suggests, but does not establish, that all of the Properly consists of tidelands. The City and Lessee contend that all of the Property leased for mobilehome residency purposes is uplands owned by the City. The Parties also acknowledge that they are awaiting a determination by State Lands Commission staff as to the nature of the Property and that determination may have a bearing on the types of land uses permitted on the Property. City and Lessee, or Lessee's representative(s) will continue to cooperate in good faith to obtain a determination that all or a portion of the Property is uplands; G. The Parties also acknowledge that the City has requested interested parties to submit responses to a Request for Proposal - Marinapark Future Use/Development (RFP) published in November, 1999. The RFP requests interested parties to submit proposals for the future use of the Property, the means by which the proposal would be implemented and the benefits of the proposal to the City. The City has received eight (8) responses to the RFP including at least three proposals that propose a continuation of a mobilehome park use of the Property (Mobilehome Proposals). The Mobilehome Proposals contemplate the continued use of the Property as a mobilehome park; H. The City Council finds and declares that the terms and conditions of this Amended Lease comply, and are consistent, with the Charter of the City of Newport Beach including, without limitation, the provisions of Sections 200 and 1402 of the Charter; I. The City Council also finds and declares that the provisions of this Amended Lease are consistent with the plans, policies, rules and ordinances of the City of Newport Beach. The City Council also finds that this Amended Lease is consistent with the General Plan and the Land Use Plan of the Local Coastal Program; J. The terms and conditions of this Amended Lease are in compliance, and consistent, with the provisions of the Mobilehome Residency Law (Section 798, et seq. of the Civil Code) and the State Zoning and Planning Act (Sections 65863.7 and 65863.8 of the Government Code). K. The purpose and intent of the Parties is to amend, and extend the term of, the 1985 Lease to give the City and Lessee an opportunity to resolve issues related to the ultimate use of the Property while preserving the benefits accruing to each Party pursuant to the 1985 Lease. NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties do hereby mutually agree as follows: 1. DESCRIPTION OF PREMISES. The City leases, and Lessee accepts the lease of, the portion of the Property described as space %.5~- Zq as shown on Exhibit "A" (Premises). 2. TERM. The tenancy created by this Amended Lease shall extend the expiration date of the 1985 Lease from March 15, 2000 to March 15, 2002, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of this Amended Lease. 3. USE OF PREMISES. A. The Premises shall be used only for residential purposes, and no business or commercial activity shall be conducted on the Premises. Permitted occupants are (i) Lessee; (ii) an additional person if Lessee is living alone; (iii) family members entitled to occupy the premises pursuant to the Mobilehome Residency Law; and (iv) short term guests. The term "short term guest' shall mean any person who does not stay with Lessee for more than a total of twenty (20) consecutive days or a total of thirty (30) days in any calendar year. Other persons may occupy the premises with the prior written consent of the City. 2 B. Lessee agrees that the primary residence requirement is fundamental to this lease, stipulates that the residency requirement will not constitute an undue burden or hardship on Lessee in light of the time allowed for compliance in the 1985 Lease, and, subject to the provisions of Section 8, Lessee agrees that the Premises shall be Lessee's primary residence unless this requirement is waived by the City Council due to hardship. Lessee shall provide satisfactory proof of residency to the City. C. Lessee agrees to comply with the rules and regulations of Marinapark (Exhibit "B") and further agrees these rules and regulations may be amended as provided in the Mobilehome Residency Law or other relevant statute. 4. CONSIDERATION: A. Introduction. The City and Lessee agree that the terms and conditions of the 1985 Lease and this Amended Lease preserve and protect substantial and important rights and advantages, economic and personal, that each Party would not otherwise be entitled to receive. These economic and personal rights and benefits are the consideration for the 1985 Lease and this Amended Lease. The more important rights and benefits gained and given up by each Party are specified in this paragraph and the Parties agree that, like the 1985 Lease, this Amended Lease should be interpreted such that each party receives the benefits and advantages identified in this paragraph. B. Consideration to Lessee. (1) As consideration for Lessee's approval of this Amended Lease, City commits to maintain the Property as a mobilehome park until March 15, 2002. (2) Additional consideration for Lessee's approval of this Amended Lease is the right to occupy the Premises subject to the payment of below market rent as specified in the 1985 Lease and continued in this Amended Lease, and limitations on timing and amount of future rental increases. (3) As additional consideration, this Amended Lease supplements the benefits of the 1985 Lease relative to the value and transferability of Lessee's interest. (4) As additional consideration, Lessee obtains the City's commitment not to close the mobilehome park on, or shortly after, March 2000 as contemplated by the 1985 Lease as well as City's commitment to fairly consider the Mobilehome Proposals.

Consideration to Citv. As consideration to the City, Lessee agrees and acknowledges that City may convert Marinapark to a different use upon expiration of this Amended Lease, or shortly thereafter. Lessee agrees that if City chooses to close the mobilehome park on the Property it may do so without obligation to pay relocation benefits, or provide other forms of relocation assistance. Lessee acknowledges that the terms of the 1985 Lease and this Amended Lease constitute full and adequate mitigation of any adverse impact on Lessee of any conversion of the Property to a non-mobilehome use, and the extended term of the 1985 Lease and this Amended Lease gives Lessee sufficient time to secure replacement space in another mobilehome park or other alternative housing. Accordingly, LESSEE HEREBY WAIVES, GIVES UP THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE, AND RELEASES CITY FROM ANY OBLIGATION TO PAY, RELOCATION BENEFITS, OR ANY OTHER FORM OF RELOCATION ASSISTANCE OR OTHER PAYMENT OR CONSIDERATION THAT ARISE OUT OF, OR ARE IN ANY WAY RELATED TO: (1) THIS LEASE OR ANY FUTURE TENANCY; (2) THE ULTIMATE TERMINATION OF LESSEE'S TENANCY PURSUANT TO THE 1985 LEASE OR THIS AMENDED LEASE OR THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF ANY SUBSEQUENT TENANCY HOWEVER CREATED; (3) THE CONVERSION OF THE PREMISES TO ANY USE OTHER THAN A MOBILEHOME USE. (4) THE DISPLACEMENT OF LESSEE' FROM HIS AND/OR HER PRIMARY RESIDENCE; (5) ANY FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL LAW, PLAN & POLICY OR RULE WHICH RELATES TO SUCH DISPLACEMENT, OR REQUIRES THE MITIGATION OF THE IMPACTS CAUSED BY DISPLACEMENT.

LESSEE 10 UNDERSTANDS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THE SIGNIFICANCE AND CONSEQUENCE OF THIS RELEASE AND OF THIS SPECIFIC WAIVER OF SECTION 1542 AND ASSUMES FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES, LOSS OR CLAIM THAT LESSEE MAY INCUR AS A RESULT OF THE CONVERSION, TERMINATION, AND/OR DISPLACEMENT REFERRED TO ABOVE. LESSEE IS FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY EXECUTING THIS AMENDED LEASE AND LESSEE, IN EXECUTING THIS RELEASE, HAS NOT RELIED UPON ANY INDUCEMENTS, PROMISES OR REPRESENTATIONS MADE BY CITY OR ITS OFFICERS OR EMPLOYEES, OTHER THAN THE COMMITMENTS AND COVENANTS CONTAINED WITHIN THIS LEASE. D. Provisions related to Consideration (1) Lessee agrees that City's right to convert the premises to a non- mobilehome use may be required if the Property is determined to be tidelands and that the City Council has the right, after due consideration of the Mobilehome Proposals, to terminate the mobilehome use after compliance with applicable law. (2) This Amended Lease constitutes notice that City reserves the right to physically convert the Premises to a non-mobilehome use on or about March 16, 2002. (3a) Upon expiration of the term of this Amended Lease, Lessee shall, within sixty (60) days, remove any mobilehome or recreational vehicle, structure, improvement, personal property or equipment located upon the Premises. Upon the expiration of this sixty (60) day period, the City shall have the right to remove and dispose of any and all property improvement structures or equipment which remain on the Premises. (3b) Notwithstanding subsection (3a) above, City agrees to assume responsibility for costs of removal and disposal of the mobilehome located on the Premises, provided that on or before January 15, 2002, Lessee provides City written notification of Lessee's desire to abandon the mobilehome and transfers all title and interest in the mobilehome clear of all liens and encumbrances to City on or before March 15, 2002. (4) If, subsequent to the expiration of this Amended Lease, Marinapark is still to be operated as a mobilehome park, the City shall be under no obligation to offer written rental agreements or leases other than as may then be required by the Mobilehome Residency Law, specifically, the provisions of Section 798.18 of the Civil Code or such laws as may be enacted subsequent to the effective date of this Amended Lease. The provisions of this Subsection shall not impair, alter or diminish any commitment or obligation undertaken by City in 5 conjunction with the consideration of the Mobilehome Proposals. The Mobilehome Residency Law currently obligates the City to offer a twelve (12) month lease or a lesser term If requested by Lessee. 5. RENT. Lessee shall pay as rent, without deduction or offset, on the 1st day of, , hil �,96-c-e+ and on the first day of each month thereafter during the term of this lease, the sum of -$ /, 42 9 '44 The monthly rental shall be subject to adjustment as of October 1, 2000 and October 1, 2001. In no case shall the adjusted rent be less than the current rent. The adjustment shall be equal to the increase in the Consumer Price Index for the twelve month period (commencing May 1 and ending April 30, hereinafter the "adjustment period") prior to the date of adjustment. The rental adjustment shall be calculated by adding each monthly percentage increase during the adjustment period, subtracting any decreases and multiplying the total by the monthly rent in effect prior to the adjustment. The Consumer Price Index (All Urban Consumers -All Items) for the Los Angeles - Long Beach -Anaheim, California area as published and released by the Bureau of Statistics for the United States Department of Labor shall be the index utilized for calculating rental adjustments. If the Consumer Price Index, as now compiled and published, is superseded by another index, then the new index shall be used to calculate the increase in rent provided that an appropriate conversion from the old index to the new can feasibly be made. If such conversion cannot be made, or if no such index is published, then another index generally recognized as authoritative shall be substituted by agreement. Rent for any fractional part of any month between the commencement date and the first date of the first full calendar month within the Term shall be prorated, and paid by Lessees to City along with the first full month of rent due hereunder. Lessee stipulates and agrees that this Amended Lease constitutes the ninety (90) day written notice of rental increases by the Mobilehome Residency Law and Lessee acknowledges that no additional written notice need be given by City; provided, however, City may provide Lessee with ninety (90) days written notice of the precise amount of any rental increase authorized by this paragraph and City and Lessee agree that such notice shall not constitute a waiver of City's right to rely upon the adequacy of the notice provisions in this paragraph. Lessee acknowledges that this Amended Lease may create a possessory interest subject to property taxation and that Lessee may be subject to the payment of property taxes levied on such interest. Lessee shall pay, in addition to rent and before delinquency, all taxes, assessments, license fees and other charges (Taxes) that are, during the Term, levied or assessed against Lessee's interest in the premises pursuant this Amended Lease or any personal property installed on the premises. 6. RELEVANT STATUTES AND RULES. The Mobilehome Residency Law requires this Amended Lease to contain, among other things, the rules and regulations of Marinapark and the language of the Mobilehome Residency Law. The rules and regulations of Marinapark are attached as Exhibit "B," the provisions of the Mobilehome Residency Law are attached as Exhibit "C," and both documents are incorporated into this Amended Lease by reference. The Marinapark rules and regulations and the Mobilehome Residency Law may be amended or modified from time to time, and these amendments and modifications shall be deemed to be incorporated into the documents attached as Exhibits "B" and "C" when effective. 7. LATE CHARGE. If the entire rent owed by Lessee is not received by City by the 10th day following its due date, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee shall pay to City a late charge of thirty five dollars ($35.00). The parties agree that such a late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs City will incur by reason of any late payment of rent. An acceptance of a late charge by City shall not constitute a waiver of Lessee's default with respect to rent, or prevent City from exercising any of the rights or remedies granted by this Amended Lease. 8. SALE OR ASSIGNMENT. Lessee may sell the mobilehome located on the premises pursuant to the rights, and subject to the obligations, of Lessee under the Mobilehome Residency Law and any other applicable statutes.

C. Lessee agrees that occupancy of the Premises shall be limited as provided in Section 3 and Lessee agrees not to sublease or otherwise transfer any partial interest in this Amended Lease. The requirement that the Premises constitute Lessee's primary residence shall not apply to any purchaser or transferee of Lessee provided the purchase or transfer occurs on or after March 16, 2000 and the purchaser or transferee complies with the provisions of this Subsection. 7 D. City shall approve any such transfer, if the transferee has the financial ability to pay the rent and charges and otherwise comply with the terms and conditions of this Lease, provided, however, City may withhold approval if it determines that, based upon the transferee's prior tenancies, the transferee will not comply with the Rules and Regulations of Marinapark (Exhibit "B").

City and Lessee also agree that the City Council has the sole and complete discretion to select portions of any proposal or combine aspects of more than one proposal in making a final decision on the ultimate use of the Property.

ATTORNEYS' FEES.
