WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Government has declared certain real and personal property at Marine Corps Air Station, El Toro (hereinafter referred to as "the Installation"), as more particularly described in Paragraph 1, surplus and Lessee has identified an immediate need to use such real and personal property; and

WHEREAS, it has been determined pursuant to the provisions of
10 U.S.C. § 2667 (f)(1), and delegations made thereunder that this Lease will facilitate state and local economic adjustment efforts pending final disposition of the real and personal property; and

WHEREAS, it has been determined pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 2667 (f)(2) and delegations made there under that a public interest will be served as a result of this Lease, the fair market value of the Lease is either unobtainable or not compatible with such public benefit, and that consequently, consideration for this Lease will be at less than fair market value; and

WHEREAS, to the extent that this Lease involves storage, treatment and disposal of toxic or hazardous materials, the Secretary of the Navy has determined that the proposed use of the premises, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, meets the criteria of 10 U.S.C. § 2692(b)(9) and (10); and

WHEREAS, after consultation with the Environmental Protection Agency it has been determined that the leased premises is suitable for lease, and that the uses contemplated hereunder are consistent with protection of human health and the environment; and

WHEREAS, Lessee is recognized by the Secretary of the Defense, through the Office of Economic Adjustment, as the local redevelopment authority with the responsibility for the redevelopment of the Installation; and

WHEREAS, Lessee has the power to acquire and lease federal military Installations, and Lessee desires to enter into this Lease,

NOW THEREFORE: in consideration of the terms, covenants, and conditions hereinafter set forth, Government and Lessee hereby agree as follows:
 
 

1. LEASED PREMISES:

Government does hereby lease, rent and demise to Lessee, and Lessee does hereby hire and rent from Government, the premises depicted in Exhibit A, hereinafter referred to as the "Leased Premises" provided, however, that the buildings, structures and other improvements thereon shall not be used or occupied unless specifically enumerated in Exhibit B, and in that event, only for those specific uses described therein.

5. SUBLETTING:

5.1 Lessee may sublease the Leased Premises, provided the sublease is made subject to all terms and conditions of this Lease and does not include any provision that is inconsistent with it. The sublease shall contain a copy of this Lease as an attachment and shall terminate immediately upon the expiration or any earlier termination of this Lease, without any liability on the part of Government to Lessee or any sublessee. Any proposed sublease which involves the use of hazardous or toxic materials, including those of an explosive, flammable or pyrotechnic nature, as provided in 10 U.S.C. § 2692, shall require prior Government approval, unless approved in connection with the Lease. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Under no circumstance shall Lessee assign this Lease.

5.2 Under any sublease made, with or without consent, the sublessee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, except for those contained in paragraph 3. No sublease shall relieve Lessee of any of its obligations hereunder.

5.3 Upon its execution, a copy of the sublease shall immediately be furnished to Government. Should a conflict arise between the provisions of this Lease and a provision of a sublease, the provisions of this Lease shall take precedence. No sublease shall be construed to diminish or enlarge any of the rights or obligations of either of the parties under this Lease.

5.4 Whenever a provision of this Lease imposes a requirement or limitation on Lessee with respect to Leased Premises, the provision shall be understood to impose the identical requirement or limitation on the sublessee. Any notice given by Government to Lessee under the terms of this Lease shall serve as notice to the sublessee. For purposes of this paragraph 5, interests in the use of Leased Premises, regardless of how they may be denominated by Lessee, are collectively referred to as a "sublease" and the party acquiring such interest as the "sublessee."

The EBS sets forth the existing environmental conditions of Leased Premises as represented by the baseline survey which has been conducted by Government. The FOSL sets forth the basis for Government’s determination that Leased Premises are suitable for leasing. Lessee is hereby made aware of the restrictions contained in the FOSL and shall conduct its activities in accordance therewith.

8. ALTERATIONS:

8.1 Lessee shall not construct or make any substantial alterations, additions, excavations, or improvements to or upon, or otherwise modify Leased Premises in any way (collectively "Work"), including those which may adversely affect the cleanup, human health or the environment, without the prior written consent of Government, with the exception of those activities described in Exhibit F, attached hereto and made part hereof, which shall not require Government review and consent. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Government will make every reasonable effort to make a decision within 30 calendar days of the date it receives Lessee’s request to perform the Work, together with the related plans therefor. Such consent may involve a requirement to provide Government with a performance and payment bond satisfactory to it in all respects and other requirements deemed necessary to protect the interest of Government. For Work in the proximity of operable units, which are shown on Exhibit G hereof, such consent may include a requirement for written approval by Government’s Remedial Project Manager. All such Work shall be done in a workmanlike manner and be subject to the requirements of all state and local building codes.

8.2 Lessee shall provide Government with prior written notification and a full description of all proposed Work on Leased Premises, including: information required by Government to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historical Preservation Act, a projected schedule and cost thereof, and an analysis as to how and why such Work will or will not be visible from the exterior of the building situated on Leased Premises or be substantially likely to adversely affect the environmental cleanup of Leased Premises, human health, or the environment, or adversely impact the building structure. Such written notification shall be delivered by Lessee to Government’s representative as designated in paragraph 19 of this Lease.

8.3 Upon termination, revocation or surrender of this Lease or any sublease, Lessee shall, at the option of Government, either:

8.3.1 Promptly remove all Work and restore Leased Premises to the same or as good condition as existed on the date of entry under this Lease, reasonable wear and tear and acts of God excepted; or

8.3.2 Abandon such work in place, at which time title to said Work shall vest in Government.

8.3.3 In either event all personal property and trade fixtures of Lessee or any third person may be removed and Lessee shall repair any damages to Leased Premises resulting from such removal.
 
 

9. ACCESS BY GOVERNMENT:

In addition to access required under paragraph 13, at all reasonable times throughout the term of this Lease, Government shall be allowed access to Leased Premises for any reasonable purposes upon notice to Lessee.

When access is sought to portions of the Leased Premises not open for general access, i.e., private offices and the like, such notice shall be in writing. Lessee shall have no claim on account of any entries against Government or any officer, agent, employee, contractor or subcontractor of Government. All keys to the buildings and facilities occupied by Lessee or any sublessee shall be made available to Government upon request. Any access by the Government will take into consideration its obligations under paragraph 33.
 
 

10. UTILITIES AND SERVICES:

10.1 Procurement of utilities, i.e., electricity, water, gas, steam, sewer, telephone and trash removal will be the responsibility of Lessee. Lessee agrees to obtain needed utility services from any private or municipal supplier which should, during the term of Lease, become able to deliver such services to Leased Premises. In the event that Government shall furnish Lessee with any utilities or services maintained by Government, which Lessee may require in connection with its use of Leased Premises, Lessee shall pay Government the cost incurred in providing such utilities or services in addition to the consideration required under this Lease. Such charges will be determined by Government in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

11. NON-INTERFERENCE WITH GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS:

Lessee shall not conduct operations or make any alterations that would interfere with or otherwise restrict environmental cleanup or restoration actions by Government, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), state environmental regulators, or their contractors. Environmental cleanup, restoration or testing activities by these parties shall take priority over Lessee’s use of Leased Premises in the event of any conflict. However, Government and Lessee agree to coordinate to minimize potential conflicts between necessary remediation of environmental contamination, including investigation and remedial actions, and Lessee’s and sublessees’ use of Leased Premises.

Lessee acknowledges that Government has provided it with a copy of the Federal Facility Agreement (FFA) entered into by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region, the state equivalent, and the Navy. Government will provide Lessee with a copy of any amendments thereto. Lessee agrees that should any conflict arise between the terms of such agreement as it presently exists or may be amended ("FFA," "Interagency Agreement" or "IAG") and the provisions of this Lease, the terms of the FFA or IAG will take precedence. Lessee further agrees that notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Government assumes no liability to Lessee or its sublessees or licensees should implementation of the FFA interfere with Lessee’s or any sublessee’s and licensee’s use of Leased Premises. Lessee shall have no claim on account of any such interference against the United States or officer, agent, employee, contractor or subcontractor thereof, other than for abatement of rent, where applicable.

13.5 Government, EPA and the State, and their officers, agents, employees, contractors and subcontractors, have the right, upon reasonable notice to Lessee and/or any sublessee, to enter upon Leased Premises for the purposes enumerated in this subparagraph and for such other purposes consistent with any provisions of the environmental cleanup program (including but not limited to the BRAC Cleanup Plan, FFA, or IAG) and the Installation Restoration Program (IRP).

Government shall provide a copy of any such plan to Lessee. Any inspection, survey, investigation or other response or remedial action will, to the extent practicable, be coordinated with representatives designated by Lessee and any sublessee. Lessee and sublessee shall have no claim on account of such entries against the United States or any officer, agent, employee, contractor or subcontractor thereof. In addition, Lessee shall comply with all applicable Federal, state and local occupational safety and health regulations.

13.7 Lessee further agrees that in the event of any sublease of Leased Premises, Lessee shall provide to EPA and applicable state equivalent by certified mail a copy of the agreement or sublease of Leased Premises (as the case may be) within fourteen (14) calendar days after the effective date of such transaction. Lessee may delete the financial terms and any other proprietary information from the copy of any agreement of sublease furnished pursuant to this condition.

13.8 Lessee shall strictly comply with the hazardous waste permit requirements under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act or its applicable state equivalent. Except as specifically authorized by Government in writing, Lessee must provide at its own expense such hazardous waste management facilities complying with all laws and regulations.

14.2.1 Government either has not authorized or directed the repair, rebuilding or replacement of the improvements or has made no provision for payment for such repair, rebuilding or replacement by application of insurance proceeds or otherwise; and

14.2.2 That such damage or destruction was not occasioned by the fault or negligence of Lessee or any of its officers, agents, servants, employees, sublessees, licensees or invitees, or by any failure or refusal on the part of Lessee to fully perform its obligations under this Lease.

14.2.3 If Government requires Lessee to vacate all or a substantial portion of Leased Premises pursuant to paragraph 15 of this Lease for a period in excess of thirty (30) calendar days, Lessee may terminate this Lease by written notice to Government given at any time while Lessee shall continue to be denied use of all or a substantial portion of Leased Premises. Lessee shall thereafter surrender possession of Leased Premises within fifteen (15) calendar days of such notice.
 
 

15. ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION:

In the event environmental contamination is discovered on Leased Premises which creates, in Government’s determination, an imminent and substantial endangerment to human health or the environment which necessitates evacuation of Leased Premises, and notwithstanding any other termination rights and procedures contained in this Lease, Lessee shall vacate or require any sublessee to vacate Leased Premises immediately upon notice from Government of the existence of such a condition. Exercise of this right by Government shall be without liability, except that Lessee shall not be responsible for the payment of consideration, the amount of deduction to be determined on a daily pro-rata basis, during the period Leased Premises is vacated. Government’s exercise of this right herein to order the Leased Premises immediately vacated does not alone constitute a termination of the Lease, but such right may be exercised in conjunction with any other termination rights provided in this Lease or by law.
 
 

16. NON-ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNIFICATION BY LESSEE:

16.1 Lessee shall at all times relieve, indemnify, protect, defend and save harmless the United States of America, and all of its officers, agents and employees from any and all claims and demands, actions, proceedings, losses, liens, costs and judgments of any kind and nature whatsoever, including expenses incurred in defending against legal actions, for death or injury to persons or damage to property and for civil fines and penalties that may arise from or be caused directly or indirectly by:

16.1.1 Any dangerous, hazardous, unsafe or defective condition, in or on Leased Premises, of any nature whatsoever, which may be caused by any act, omission, neglect, or any use or occupation of the premises by Lessee, its officers, agents, employees, sublessees, licensees or invitees;

16.1.2 Any operation conducted upon or any use or occupation of Leased Premises by Lessee, its officers, agents, employees, sublessees, licensees or invitees under or pursuant to the provisions of this Lease or otherwise;

16.1.3 Any act, omission, or negligence of Lessee, its officers, agents, employees, sublessees, licensees or invitees, regardless of whether any act, omission or negligence of Government, its officers, agents or employees contributed thereto;

16.1.4 Any failure of Lessee, its officers, agents, employees or sublessees to comply with the terms or conditions of this Lease or any applicable federal, state, regional or municipal law, ordinance, rule or regulation.

16.2 Lessee also agrees to indemnify Government and pay for all damages or loss suffered by Government, including but not limited to damage or loss of Government property and injury to Government employees caused by or arising out of the conditions, operations, uses, occupations, acts, omissions or negligence referred to in subparagraphs 16.1.1 through 16.1.4. The term "persons" as used in this paragraph shall include but not be limited to officers and employees of Lessee.

16.3 The provisions of this paragraph shall not require indemnification to the extent that losses or costs are solely attributable to the fault or negligence of the United States of America, its officers, agents, employees or contractors.

16.4 The covenants contained in this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Lease for any injury or damage occurring after commencement of the term of this Lease.

17. INSURANCE:

17.1 Lessee shall bear all risk of loss or damage to Leased Premises for any number of persons or claims arising from any one incident with respect to bodily injuries or death resulting therefrom, property damage or both, suffered or alleged to have been suffered by any person or persons resulting from the operations of Lessee, sublessees, contractors and invitees under the terms of this Lease.

17.2 Based on Lessee’s written representation regarding its financial capacity to be self insured and its request for a waiver, Government hereby waives its normal requirements for insurance insofar as Lessee is concerned, but not with respect to any sublessee.Notwithstanding this waiver, the parties recognize that Lessee presently carries excess public liability coverage for claims of $_5,000,000 or more. Lessee shall provide the excess coverage in an amount not less than the minimum combined single limit of $25,000,000. At the commencement of this Lease, Lessee shall furnish to Government a certificate of insurance consistent with the requirements of Paragraph 17.6, evidencing such excess coverage. The minimum amount of liability insurance coverage is subject to revision by Government upon renewal or modification of this lease.

17.3 As to those structures and improvements on Leased Premises constructed by or owned by Government, Lessee shall procure and maintain a standard fire and extended coverage insurance policy or policies on Leased Premises in the amount of $9,000,000. The insurance policy shall provide that in the event of loss thereunder, the proceeds of the policy or policies, at the election of Government, shall be payable to Lessee to be used solely for the demolition of damaged or destroyed structures and improvements, removal of debris and clearance of Leased Premises or for repair, restoration, or replacement of the property damaged or destroyed. Any balance of the proceeds not required for such purposes shall be paid to Government. If Government does not elect, by notice in writing to the insurer within thirty (30) calendar days after the damage or destruction occurs, to have the proceeds paid to Lessee for the purposes hereinabove set forth, then such proceeds shall be paid to Government, provided, however, that the insurer, after payment of any proceeds to Lessee, in accordance with the policy or policies, shall have no obligation or liability with respect to the use or disposition of the proceeds. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as an obligation upon Government to repair, restore or replace Leased Premises or any part thereof.

17.4 If and to the extent required by law, Lessee shall provide workers’ compensation or similar insurance in form and amounts required by law.

17.5 During the entire period this Lease shall be in effect, Lessee shall require its contractors or sublessees, or any contractor performing work at Lessee’s or sublessee’s request on Leased Premises, to carry and maintain the insurance described below:

17.5.1 Comprehensive (commercial) general liability insurance, in the amount of no less than $5 million.

17.5.2 Workers’ compensation or similar insurance in a form and amounts required by law.

17.6 All insurance which this Lease requires Lessee or others to carry and maintain shall be in such form, for such periods of time, and with such insurers as Government may reasonably require or approve. All policies or certificates issued by the respective insurers for comprehensive general liability and property damage will name Government as an additional insured; provide that any losses shall be payable notwithstanding any act or failure to act or negligence of Lessee or Government or any other person; provide that no cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage thereof shall be effective until at least thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by Government of written notice thereof; provide that the insurer shall have no right of subrogation against Government; and be reasonably satisfactory to Government in all other respects. In no circumstances will Lessee be entitled to assign to any third party, rights of action which Lessee may have against Government.

Lessee and sublessees shall deliver or cause to be delivered promptly to Government a certificate of insurance evidencing the insurance required by this Lease and shall also deliver prior to expiration of any such policy, a certificate of insurance evidencing each renewal policy covering the same risks.

18. LABOR PROVISION:

During the term of this Lease, Lessee agrees as follows:

18.1 Lessee will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Lessee shall take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising, layoff or termination, rate of pay or other forms of compensation and selection for training, including apprenticeship. Lessee agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided by Government setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.

18.1.1 Lessee shall, in all solicitations or advertisements for

employees placed at Leased Premises by or on behalf of Lessee, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex or national origin.

18.1.2 Lessee shall send to each labor union or representative of workers with which it has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding a notice to be provided by Government, advising the labor union or worker's representative of Lessee's commitments under this equal opportunity clause and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment.

18.1.3 Lessee shall comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, as amended by Executive Order 11375 of October 13, 1967, and of the rules, regulations and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor.

18.1.4 Lessee shall furnish all information and reports required by Executive order 11246 of September 24, 1965, as amended by Executive Order 11375 of October 13, 1967, and of the rules, regulations and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor or pursuant thereto, and will permit access to his books, records and accounts by Government and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigating to ascertain compliance with such rules, regulations and orders.

18.1.5 In the event of Lessee’s noncompliance with the equal

opportunity clause of this Lease or with any of said rules, regulations or orders, this Lease may be canceled, terminated or suspended in whole or in part and Lessee may be declared ineligible for further Government contracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, as amended by Executive order 11375 of October 13, 1967, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, as amended by Executive Order 11375 of October 13, 1967, or by rule, regulation or order of the Secretary of Labor, or otherwise provided by law.

18.1.6 Lessee will include the above provisions in every sublease unless exempted by rules, regulations or orders of the Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to Section 204 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, as amended by Executive Order 11375 of October 13, 1967, so that such provisions will be binding upon each sublessee. Lessee will take such action with respect to any sublessee as Government may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions including sanctions for noncompliance; provided, however, that in the event Lessee becomes involved, or is threatened with litigation with sublessee as a result of such direction by Government, Lessee may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interest of the United States.

18.2 This Lease, to the extent that it is a contract of a character specified in the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 327-330) and is not covered by the Walsh-Healy Public Contracts Act (41 U.S.C. 35-45), is subject to the following provisions and exceptions of said Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act and to all other provisions and exceptions of said law.

18.2.1 Lessee shall not require or permit any laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he is employed on any work under this Lease to work in excess of 40 hours in such work week on work subject to the provisions of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act unless such laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times his basic rate of pay for all such hours worked in excess of 40 hours in such work week. The "basic rate of pay", as used in this clause, shall be the amount paid per hour, exclusive of Lessee’s contribution or cost for fringe benefits and any cash payment made in lieu of providing fringe benefits or the basic hourly rate contained in the wage determination, whichever is greater.

18.2.2 In the event of any violation of the provision of Paragraph 18.2.1, Lessee shall be liable to any affected employee for any amounts due, and to the United States for liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or mechanic employed in violation of the provisions of paragraph 18.2.1 in the sum of ten $10.00 for each calendar day on which such employee was required or permitted to be employed on such work in excess of the standard work week of 40 hours without payment of the overtime wages required by Paragraph 18.2.1.

18.3 In connection with the performance of work required by this Lease, Lessee agrees not to employ any person undergoing a sentence of imprisonment unless the utilization of prisoners is in conformity with the provisions of Executive Order 11755.

This Lease shall be subject to audit by any and all cognizant Government agencies. Lessee shall make available to such agencies for use in connection with such audits all records which it maintains with respect to this Lease and copies of all reports required to be filed hereunder. Government shall provide to Lessee reasonable documentation for all billings and assessments for costs incurred, and for any other Government demands for payment. In no event shall the provisions of this paragraph be construed to authorize or require the disclosure of documents protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege, or otherwise, the confidentiality of which is protected by state or federal law.

21. AGREEMENT:

This Lease shall not be modified unless in writing and signed by both parties. No oral statements or representation made by, for or on behalf of either party shall be a part of this Lease. Should a conflict arise between the provisions of this Lease and any exhibit hereto, or any other agreement between Government and Lessee, the provisions of this Lease shall take precedence.
 
 

22. FAILURE TO INSIST ON COMPLIANCE:

The failure of Government to insist, in any one or more instances, upon performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of Government's right to the future performance of any such terms, covenants or conditions and Lessee's obligations in respect to such future performance shall continue in full force and effect.
 
 

23. DISPUTES:

23.1 This Lease is subject to the Contract Disputes Act of 1978, as amended (41 U.S.C. 601-613) (the Act).

23.2 Except as provided in the Act, all disputes arising under or relating to this Lease shall be resolved under this clause.

23.3 "Claim", as used in this clause, means a written demand or written assertion by Lessee or Government seeking, as a matter of right, the payment of money in a sum certain, the adjustment or interpretation of lease terms, or other relief arising under or relating to this Lease. A claim arising under this Lease, unlike a claim relating to this Lease, is a claim that can be resolved under a lease clause that provides for the relief sought by the claimant. However, a written demand or written assertion by Lessee seeking the payment of money exceeding $100,000 is not a claim under the Act until certified as required by subparagraph 23.4 below. A voucher, invoice or other routine request for payment that is not in dispute when submitted, is not a claim under the Act. The submission may be converted to a claim under the Act, by complying with the submission and certification requirements of this clause, if it is disputed either as to liability or amount or is not acted upon in a reasonable time. "Command" used in this clause means the Southwest Division, Naval Facilities Engineering Command.

23.4 A claim by Lessee shall be made in writing and submitted within six (6) years after accrual of the claim, to the Command, for a written decision. A claim by Government against Lessee shall be subject to a written decision by the Command.

23.4.1 Lessee shall provide the certification specified in subparagraph 23.4.3 of this clause when submitting any claim:

(a) Exceeding $100,000; or

(b) Regardless of the amount claimed, when using:

(1) Arbitration conducted pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 575-580; or

(2) Any other alternative means of dispute resolution (ADR)

technique that the agency elects to use in accordance with the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act (ADRA).
23.4.2 The certification requirement does not apply to issues in controversy that have not been submitted as all or part of a claim.

23.4.3 The certification shall state as follows: "I certify that the claim is made in good faith; that the supporting data are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief; that the amount requested accurately reflects the contract adjustment for which Lessee believes Government is liable; and that I am duly authorized to certify the claim on behalf of Lessee."

23.4.4 The certification may be executed by any person duly authorized to bind Lessee with respect to the claim.

23.5 For Lessee claims of $100,000 or less, the Command, must, if requested in writing by Lessee, render a decision within 60 calendar days of the request. For Lessee-certified claims over $100,000, the Command, must, within 60 calendar days, decide the claim or notify Lessee of the date by which the decision will be made.

23.6 The Command’s, decision shall be final unless Lessee appeals or files a suit as provided in the Act.

23.7 At the time a claim by Lessee is submitted to Command or a claim by Government is presented to Lessee, the parties, by mutual consent, may agree to use ADR. When using arbitration conducted pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 575-580, or when using any other ADR technique that the agency elects to employ in accordance with the ADRA, any claim, regardless of amount, shall be accompanied by the certification described in Paragraph 23.4.3 of this clause, and executed in accordance with Paragraph 23.4.4 of this clause.

23.8 Government shall pay interest on the amount found due and unpaid by Government from (1) the date the Command receives the claim (properly certified if required), or (2) the date payment otherwise would be due, if that date is later, until the date of payment. With regard to claims having defective certifications, as defined in FAR 33.201, interest shall be paid from the date that the Command initially receives the claim. Simple interest on claims shall be paid at the rate, fixed by the Secretary of the Treasury, as provided in the Act, which is applicable to the period during which the Command receives the claim and then at the rate applicable for each 6-month period as fixed by the Treasury Secretary during the pendency of the claim.

23.9 Lessee shall proceed diligently with the performance of Lease, pending final resolution of any request for relief, claim, appeal or action arising under Lease, and comply with any decision of the Command.
 
 

24. COVENANT AGAINST CONTINGENT FEES:

Lessee warrants that no person or agency has been employed or retained to solicit or secure this Lease upon an agreement or understanding for a commission, percentage, brokerage or contingent fee, excepting bona fide employees or bona fide established commercial agencies maintained by Lessee for the purpose of securing business. For breach or violation of this warranty, Government shall have the right to annul this Lease without liability or in its discretion, to require Lessee to pay, in addition to the rental or consideration, the full amount of such commission, percentage, brokerage or contingent fee.

25. LIENS:

Lessee shall promptly discharge or cause to be discharged any valid lien, right in rem, claim or demand of any kind, except one in favor of Government, which at any time may arise or exist with respect to the Leased Property or materials or equipment furnished therefor, or any part thereof, and if the same shall not be promptly discharged by Lessee, or should Lessee or sublessee be declared bankrupt or make an assignment on behalf of creditors, or should the leasehold estate be taken by execution, Government reserves the right to take immediate possession without any liability to Lessee or any sublessee. Lessee and any sublessee shall be responsible for any costs incurred by Government in securing clear title to its property.
 
 

26. TAXES:

Lessee shall pay to the proper authority, when and as the same become due and payable, all taxes, assessments and similar charges which, at any time during the term of this Lease, may be imposed upon Lessee with respect to Leased Premises. Title 10 United States Code, Section 2667(e) contains the consent of Congress to the taxation of Lessee's interest in Leased Premises, whether or not the Leased Premises are in an area of exclusive federal jurisdiction. Should Congress consent to taxation of Government's interest in the property, this Lease will be renegotiated.

27. EASEMENTS AND RIGHTS OF WAY:

This Lease shall be subject to the following:

27.1 Outstanding easements and rights of way for location of any type of facility over, across, in and upon Leased Premises and to the right of Government to grant such additional easements and rights of way over, across, in or upon Leased Premises as it shall determine to be in the public interest; provided that any such additional easement or right of way shall be subject to approval of Lessee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and shall be conditioned on the assumption by the grantee thereof of liability to Lessee for such damages as Lessee shall suffer for property destroyed or property rendered unusable on account of the grantee’s exercise of its rights thereunder. Such easements and rights of way shall include but not be limited to those for water, gas, electricity, steam, telephone, sewer, pipelines, conduits and for any type of facility, including but not limited to those for communications, heating, cooling and power, and shall include the right to enter upon, above, below or through the surface to construct, maintain, replace, repair, enlarge or otherwise utilize Leased Premises for such purpose, without compensation, provided the surface shall be restored to the condition previously existing and provided that interference with Lessee’s use of Leased Premises is minimized to the extent practicable.

27.2 Government has constructed and installed roads, structures, facilities, pipelines, and conduits on Leased Premises. For purposes of this paragraph, these roads, structures, facilities, pipelines, conduits and Installations shall be treated as if they were within easements and rights of way. Lessee shall protect or relocate them in a manner satisfactory to Government should such protection or relocation be required as a result of Lessee’s use of Leased Premises.

27.3 All prior exceptions, reservations, easements, leases or licenses of any kind whatsoever as the same appear of record in the Office of the Recorder of Orange County.

29. SURRENDER:

Upon the expiration of this Lease or its prior termination, Lessee shall quietly and peacefully remove itself and its property from Leased Premises and surrender the possession thereof to Government. Government may, in its discretion, declare any property which has not been removed from Leased Premises upon expiration or termination provided for above, as abandoned property upon an additional 30 calendar days notice.
 
 
 
 
 
 

30. INTEREST:

30.1 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, unless paid within thirty (30) calendar days, all amounts that become payable by Lessee to Government under this Lease (net any applicable tax credit under the Internal Revenue Code) shall bear interest from the date due. The rate of interest will be the Current Value of Funds rate published by the Secretary of Treasury pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 3717 (Debt Collection Act of 1982).

30.1.1 Amounts shall be due upon the earliest of: 30.1.1.1 the date fixed pursuant to this Lease, 30.1.1.2 the date of the first written demand for payment,

consistent with this Lease, including demand consequent upon default termination,
