same day as the Lease Expiration Date. To encourage the Landlord to renew the Lease (which
decision is within the sole discretion and power of the Landlord), if Landlord states in the

Clubhouse Lease is entered into by and between the Watchorn Lincoln Memorial Association,a California Non-Profit Public
Benefit Corporation("Landlord")and The Contemporary Club,a California Non-Profit Public Benefit Corporation("Tenant")
Landlord)having any rights to use the Building in any manner during such Exclusive Use
Period, regardless of anything to the contrary in this Lease.
2.3. Lease Year. For purposes of this Lease, the term Lease Year ("Lease Year")
means each consecutive twelve-month (12-month) period during the Lease Term, provided,

Tenant intend to materialIy change its "Object", as described in its existing Corporate Bylaws
("The object of The Contemporary Club shall be to improve the welfare and quality of life in the
community and serve the cultural, philanthropic and education interests of its members"), it shall
first notify the Landlord in writing of such proposed change ("Proposed Change"). If the
Landlord in good faith determines both(i) that the Proposed Change so materially and adversely
changes the operations and Object of Tenant, so that its continued Lease of the Building from the
Landlord would negatively & materially reflect on the Landlord, and (ii) that Tenant after the
Proposed Change would no longer meet the eligibility criteria of the Library for organizations
which use Library facilities, it must so notify Tenant in writing with such specificity that it is
clear what language in the Proposed Change is unacceptable to Landlord and why.
Further, if the Landlord determines in good faith that Tenant, even without any such
Proposed Change, has both(i) so materially and adversely changed its operations so that its
continued Lease of the Building from the Landlord is negatively & materially reflecting on the
Landlord, and (ii) that Tenant's operations also no longer meet the eligibility criteria of the
Library for organizations which use Library facilities, it must so notify Tenant in writing with
such specificity that it is clear what elements of Tenant's operations are unacceptable to
Landlord and why. The Parties agree to quickly meet and discuss any and all issues raised under
this Section, so that each Party's position and rationale is clear to the other Party, with a good
faith attempt being made on behalf of both Parties to reach a resolution of any such dispute,

Benefit Corporation("Landlord")and The Contemporary Club,a California Non-Profit Public Benefit Corporation("Tenant")

18. If in spite of this, should Tenant still disagree with any such Landlord determination, either
Party may invoke the Dispute Resolution procedures in Article 18 of this Lease,up to and
including potential Arbitration. Should the dispute go to Arbitration, and the Arbitrator upholds
the position of the Landlord, then, as applicable. (a) Tenant may either not proceed with the
Proposed Change, or it may proceed with the Proposed Change (with written notice to Landlord),
but with Landlord then having the right for a thirty (30) day period after receipt of such notice to
terminate the Lease upon written notice to Tenant, or(b), as applicable, Tenant may modify its
operations so that its operations either(i) no longer negatively&materially reflect on the
Landlord, or (ii) so that its operations would again meet the eligibility criteria for organizations
which use Library facilities. Should the Parties disagree on whether Tenant has made sufficient
operational changes, the Dispute Resolution procedures in Article 18 of this Lease could again
be invoked by either Party, including Arbitration, if necessary. Should this dispute go to
Arbitration, and the Arbitrator uphold the position of the Landlord, then, as applicable: (a)
Tenant must either further modify its operations so that its operations either(i) no longer would
negatively & materially reflect on the Landlord, or(ii) so that its operations would again meet
the eligibility criteria for organizations which use Library facilities, or(b) Tenant may decide
(and must give Landlord written notice) that it will not make such operational changes,but with
corresponding right of Landlord for a thirty (30) day period after receipt of such notice to
terminate this Lease upon written notice to Tenant.

potential transfer of this Lease and the Building, as provided for in Section 14.1,without

consistent with present uses of the Library facilities, in enhancing the culture and education of
the community.

consistent with its present uses of the Building, as it strives to fulfill its Corporate Object,
through meetings, luncheons and dinners, events and activities.
5.3. Tenant's Allocated Hours for Its Exclusive Usage. Landlord agrees that Tenant
will be allocated Twenty Five Percent(25%) of the total hours at the Building, with this
allocation being calculated as follows: 365 days x 9 hours a day x 25%= 821 hours of allotted
time ("Tenant Hours") which is dedicated to Tenant's exclusive use of the Building during such
Tenant Hours. Tenant's use of Tenant Hours is not limited to day-time hours, but may also be
used for evening hours.
Tenant may allow other organizations/individuals (such as the Kimberly Juniors
["KJs"], another non-profit entity for which Tenant has served as the sponsor for many years) to
use such part of Tenant Hours as Tenant determines (so that Tenant may serve as gracious hosts
in the Redlands community), but with all such other non-Tenant usage subject to non-Tenant
meetings the Landlord's current insurance (with such non-Tenant insurance being primary
insurance, with Landlord and Tenant both named as additional insureds) and eligibility
requirements, similar to the requirements for use of the Library's Assembly Room, as well as
non-Tenant's execution of an Indemnification Agreement with Landlord and Tenant--reasonably
establishing that any such non-Tenant is responsible for any claims or damages that arise in
connection with its usage of the Property Failure by a non-Tenant to satisfy the requirements of
this Section, including but not limited to insurance and indemnification requirements, shall
entitle Landlord to prevent such non-Tenant's use of the Property until such requirements are

Page 6 of 23
Clubhouse Lease is entered into by and between the Watchorn Lincoln Memorial Association,a California Non-Profit Public
Benefit Corporation("Landlord")and The Contemporary Club,a California Non-Profit Public Benefit Corporation("Tenant")
to other individuals/groups (excluding KJs) shall be Iimited to not more than 33% of the Tenant
Hours.
Tenant also agrees that it will no longer rent out the Building, or enter into
arrangements with other organizations/individuals, where Tenant Hours for usage of the Building
are provided to such other organization/individuals in exchange for a contribution to TENANT.

below) shall submit a schedule of its reserved exclusive Tenant Hours (which can incorporate
KJs requested hours, which must come through Tenant to Landlord) by August I of each year
("Tenant Reservation Schedule"), with the dates and times listed that Tenant is reserving for the
following 12 month period, commencing with October 1 of that year through September 30 of
the following year("Reservation Year"). Tenant shall have first priority, on a yearly basis, in
reserving the times and dates on which it shall use its Tenant Hours.
If subsequent to August I during any Lease Year, Tenant determines that
additional hours will be needed which were not included on the Tenant Reservation Schedule
previously submitted to Landlord, and so notifies Landlord, and Tenant had not already reserved
its full allocation of Tenant Hours for that Reservation Year, then Landlord shall make such
additional time available for Tenant usage if Landlord has not previously committed the Building
to other activities for the requested time. Both Parties agree to use good faith efforts in this
scheduling process, so that only actual and contemplated events are scheduled, such that the
master calendar(maintained by Library Administration) is not filled with speculative events.
5.5. Cooperation. The Parties agree to cooperate together in an amicable fashion to
best insure that the Building is effectively used in a manner as described herein. Further,
Landlord and City will coordinate with Tenant in making Library facilities available to Tenant, if
necessary, with such use of Library facilities being counted against Tenant's Hour allocation at
the Building.
5.6. Open Access for Tenant. In addition to Tenant Hours, Landlord is committed to
allowing open access to the Building to the Tenant and its members at times that they reasonably
desire. The goal is that there is a good faith ongoing feeling that the Building remains a welcome
home for Tenant and its members. To clarify the intent of this Section 5.6, "open access"shall
not expand the number of Tenant Hours specified above in Section 5.3 herein; rather, consistent
with this Section, "open access"refers to the ability of the members to have access to the
Building for purposes ancillary to Tenant's use of the Building in accordance with the terms of
this Lease. However, Tenant on behalf of its members agrees;/to be respectful of, and to
minimize disruption to, any Landlord/Library events that may be taking place in the Building,
even as Tenant has access to the Building.
5.7. Tenant Liaison &Library Administration of Building. Should the Landlord
Assignment (as hereinafter described) occur, Tenant shall have the right, in its discretion, to
appoint a liaison to the Library Board, who would have the right to be in attendance at all public
Library Board of Trustee Meetings, as well as any other scheduled Library Board of Trustee

as Tenant's Liaison with the Landlord for ongoing Lease and related issues, with day-to-day
operational issues affecting Tenant's use of the Building being handled between the Liaison and
Landlord's President or designee on behalf of the Landlord (with this and all other references in
the Lease to services and management being provided by Landlord's President or designee to be
fulfilled by Library Administration after—any Landlord Assignment).

negatively materially impacted by such decision of Landlord to not rebuild/restore.
12.3. No Casualty Insurance Coverage. Should the Building be destroyed or
materially damaged during the course of the Lease where the destruction or loss is not covered
by Landlord's casualty insurance, and other critical buildings owned by the Landlord are also
destroyed or materially damaged from the same catastrophic event (i.e., major earthquake),then
the Landlord in good faith will prioritize and develop a schedule for rebuilding such affected
buildings, including the Building, recognizing that such a rebuilding schedule will have to take
into account the financial resources available to the Landlord. Until such time that the Building
is rebuilt/restored, Landlord will in good faith provide (taking into account the level of overall
destruction to Landlord facilities) alternate meeting space for TENANT (and TENANT can
incorporate KJ meeting space needs along with its own, but all of which must be coordinated
through TENANT) at no charge to Tenant.
12.4. Waiver of Statutory Provisions. The provisions of this Lease, including those in
this Article 12 constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant that applies in the
event of any casualty to the Building. Landlord and Tenant,therefore, each fully waives the
provisions of any statute or regulation, including California Civil Code §§1932(2) and 1933(4),
or any successor statute, relating to any rights or obligations concerning a casualty.
ARTICLE 13
INITIAL ENHANCEMENTS & IMPROVEMENTS TO BUILDING
13.1. Improvements. It is acknowledged by the Parties that there are enhancements and
improvements needed for the Building, which will be addressed through a generous charitable
contribution to the Landlord in the amount of$200,000 from the Benefactor("Improvement
Funding")to fund such necessary Improvements ("Improvement(s)"). This charitable
contribution will be made shortly before the Lease Commencement Date. In the event that the
Improvements cost more than the Improvement Funding,the City will have no responsibility or
financial exposure for paying for any such Improvements where the cost exceeds the
Improvement Funding.
13.2. Priorities for Improvements. The Parties agree that the priority for the
Improvements and use of the Improvement Funding, in addition to paying for the cost of
Building inspections and preparation of Improvement plans, will be for upgrades to the following
areas: (1) ADA compliant restrooms, (2)reasonably address the identified issues from the
Building Inspection Report dated 10/05/15 from PillarToPost, Inspection No. 26753073,and (3)
safety and security upgrades, as necessary. The City has agreed to use good faith efforts to
expedite any necessary review and approval of the Improvement plans, as it is recognized that
the Building will be unusable (in whole or in part) for the community, Library/Landlord and
Page 13 of 23
Clubhouse Lease is entered into by and between the Watchorn Lincoln Memorial Association,a California Non-Profit Public
Benefit Corporation("Landlord")and The Contemporary Club,a California Non-Profit Public Benefit Corporation("Tenant")
Tenant functions during the work on such Improvements. The goal of the Parties is to fast track
the Improvements, so as to rapidly bring the Building fully on line for Landlord/Library
functions, and to minimize disruptions to Tenant and others. The Improvement plans must be
jointly agreed upon and approved in writing by Landlord and Tenant, in consultation with the
City and Board of Trustees of the Library.
13.3. Timing of Improvements. The scheduling and timely completion of the
Improvements is critical to all the Parties. It is contemplated that the major Improvements would
commence on May 1, 2016 (with minor Improvements which do not disrupt ongoing use of the
Building commencing prior to that date),with a goal of completion of the Improvements by
September 30, 2016. The Parties agree that the early retention of a mutually acceptable Architect
or Consultant to commence work on potential plans for the Improvements (including the priority
items described above in Section 13.2) is critical. Use of financial incentives to encourage the
mutually approved and selected contractor to timely complete the Improvements will be
considered. Should the Improvements, despite such efforts, not be completed by that September
30`h date, the City agrees to make available to Tenant at no charge other facilities at the Library
for meetings/events which were on Tenant Reservation Schedule. Recognizing the vagaries of
remodeling work, the Parties and the City agree to cooperate in good faith in coordinating the
various meeting/event schedules during any such delay in completing the Improvements.
Commencing as of May 1, 2016, Landlord agrees to provide bi-weekly reports to the City on the
progress of the Improvements.
ARTICLE 14
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASING
14.1. Potential Building Transfer &Lease Assignment by Landlord. The Parties agree
and acknowledge that it is possible that both the Building and this Lease will subsequently be
transferred/assigned by the Landlord and accepted/assumed by the City at some later time after
completion of the Improvements described above in Article 13. Such an assignment and
assumption of the Lease shall be implemented through execution of a Lease Assignment Form
which will be in a form reasonably satisfactory to, and agreed upon by, all the Parties and the
City ("Landlord Assignment"). Upon due execution by Landlord and the City of the Landlord
Assignment, Landlord shall be released from any further responsibilities, obligations or liabilities
under the Lease, other than for such responsibilities, obligations or liabilities which were
outstanding at the time of the Landlord Assignment.
14.2. Assignment of Tenant Rights to KJs, with Limitations. If the Corporate existence
of Tenant was dissolved in the future,with Tenant no longer existing in any form as an entity,
then the Parties agree that Tenant's rights under the Lease will be assigned to the KJs, so long as
the KJs are then in existence,upon written agreement from the KJs that it will assume all
obligations, liabilities and responsibilities of Tenant under the Lease. However, with such
assignment and assumption of the Lease to KJs, the following limitations on Tenant's rights will
apply:
Page 1.4 of 23
Clubhouse Lease is entered into by and between the Watchorn Lincoln Memorial Association,a California Non-Profit Public
Benefit Corporation("Landlord")and The Contemporary Club,a California Non-Profit Public Benefit Corporation("Tenant")
14.2.1. The number of Tenant Hours will be reduced to 150 hours (with up to
125 hours being Saturday morning hours) per Lease Year, to reflect the fact that
as Contemporary Club would no longer be a Party to the Lease,there would be a
corresponding reduction in the required usage of the Building by Tenant.
14.2.2. Should the KJs cease to be in existence as an organization after any such
assignment but still during the Lease Term, then upon any such cessation, the
Lease will automatically terminate. Further, at any time during the Lease Term or
during any Renewal Term, should KJs fail to use the Building for a continuous
five (5) year term after any such assignment, it shall be deemed that KJs have
abandoned the Lease, and Landlord shall have the right to terminate the Lease
upon written notice to the KJs.
14.3 Non-Assignability Except as expressly provided in Section 14.2 hereof, Tenant's
rights to utilize the Building pursuant to this Lease shall not be assignable, without the prior
written consent of Landlord,which may be granted or denied in its sole discretion. Any
purported assignment which violates this Section shall be null and void.
ARTICLE 15
HOLDING OVER
15.1. Holdover. If Tenant remains in non-exclusive possession of the Building after
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with Landlord's consent, Tenant's occupancy shall
be on a year-to-year tenancy on the terms and conditions of this Lease which were in effect
during the immediately preceding Lease Year. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises
after expiration or earlier termination of this Lease without Landlord's consent, Tenant's
continued possession shall be on the basis of a tenancy at sufferance and Tenant shall pay as rent
during the holdover period an amount equal to the fair market rental rate at the time of the
holdover.
ARTICLE 16

days after written notice of the failure from Landlord to Tenant. If the required cure of the
noticed default cannot reasonably be completed within thirty (30) days, Tenant's failure to
perform shall constitute a default under the Lease unless Tenant undertakes to cure the failure
promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days, and diligently and continuously attempts to
complete the cure as soon as is reasonably possible. Tenant, however, may dispute whether in
Page 15 of 23
Clubhouse Lease is entered into by and between the Watchorn Lincoln Memorial Association,a California Non-Profit Public
Benefit Corporation("Landlord")and The Contemporary Club,a California Non-Profit Public Benefit Corporation("Tenant")
fact such a failure to perform has occurred by following the Dispute Resolution procedures
described below in Article 18, and no default shall be deemed to have occurred until such a
determination has been made in the Arbitration.
16.2. Landlord's Remedies on Tenant's Default. Subject to any potential Lease
termination as provided for under Sections 2.4, 2.5 and 11.1.3, on the occurrence of an
uncured default by Tenant, the Parties agree that Landlord's remedies will be limited
strictly to monetary damages fas more fully described below in Article 18 Dispute
Resolution and except as provided above Landlordspecifically waives any right to
terminate this Lease and recover possession of the Premises upon any such uncured default
by Tenant.
16.3. Tenant's Remedies on Landlord's Default. Landlord's failure to perform any of
its material obligations under this Lease shall constitute a default by Landlord under the Lease if
the failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice of the failure from Tenant to
Landlord. If the required performance cannot reasonably be completed within thirty(30) days,
Landlord's failure to perform shall constitute a default under the Lease unless Landlord
undertakes to cure the failure promptly after notice, and in any event, within thirty (30) days and
thereafter diligently and continuously attempts to complete this cure as soon as reasonably
possible. Landlord, however, may dispute whether in fact such a failure to perform has occurred
by following the Dispute Resolution procedures described below in Article 18, and no default
shall be deemed to have occurred until such a determination has been made in the Arbitration.
16.4. Tenant's Remedies on Landlord's Default. On the occurrence of an uncured
default by Landlord the Parties agree that Tenant's remedies will be strictly limited to
monetary damages, as more fully described below in Article 18.

failure of either Party to enforce any remedy for the violation of that provision, even if that

Clubhouse Lease is entered into by and between the Watchorn Lincoln Memorial Association,a California Non-Profit Public
Benefit Corporation("Landlord")and The Contemporary Club,a California Non-Profit Public Benefit Corporation("Tenant")
normal course of business. Within fifteen(15) days after delivery of the notice, the Parties agree
to have representatives with the authority to settle any such Dispute initially"meet & confer," in
a good faith attempt to resolve any such Dispute in a mutually cooperative spirit,reflective of
both organizations commitment to the Redlands community.
18.2. Mediation. Should any such Dispute not be resolved between the Parties during
the "meet&confer"process described above, then either Party may by written request submit
the dispute to mandatory mediation ("Mediation") conducted by IVAMS Arbitration &
Mediation Services ("IVAMS"), or any successor entity if IVAMS is no longer in existence. The
Parties will cooperate with IVAMS and each other in selecting a mediator from the IVAMS
panel and in scheduling the Mediation proceedings. The Parties agree that they will participate
in the Mediation in good faith. Both Parties further commit that all reasonable good faith efforts
shall be made by both Parties to resolve any such Dispute through this Mediation process, as the
mutual goal of both Parties is that the binding Arbitration step which follows is never needed
between the Parties. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made
in the course of the Mediation and/or Arbitration are confidential and inadmissible for any
purpose, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be
rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the Mediation.

Arbitration Rules, other than as specifically described herein. Such arbitrator must be a different
individual from the mediator previously used between the Parties, as described above. Judgment
on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any Court having jurisdiction over the
Dispute. However, irrespective of anything to the contrary in this Section, the Parties shall each
have the right to file with a court of competent jurisdiction an action for equitable relief. Further,
upon termination of the Lease, with Tenant refusing to vacate the Building, Landlord may pursue
an unlawful detainer action with the court of competent jurisdiction to obtain full possession of
the Building. These limited exceptions hall not waive any Party's arbitration rights under this
Lease.

judge or an attorney with a minimum of ten (10)years' experience handling
commercial real estate lease matters.
