California municipal corporation duly chartered under the laws of the state of California
(hereafter "City" or "Lessor"), and the San Rafael Yacht Club, a California not-for-profit
corporation (hereafter "Yacht Club" or "Lessee").
RECITALS

in the City of San Rafael, County of Marin, State of California, bearing Assessor's Parcel No.
014-152-27 (the "City Parcel").
B. Since 1961, City has leased to Yacht Club a portion of the City Parcel commonly
known as 200 Yacht Club Drive, San Rafael, California, and more particularly described as set
forth in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference ("the Premises").
During this time, Yacht Club has improved the Premises with a clubhouse, parking, and visiting
docking facilities for its members, other yacht clubs, and the public. The Yacht Club also has
made the facilities available on a regular basis for numerous civic, educational, and charitable
uses and events.
C. The San Rafael Beach Park Basin is identified by Bay access as a potential self-
propelled small craft launch site for the San Francisco Bay Water Trail.
D. City wishes to encourage and promote public use of the San Rafael Canal for self-
propelled watercraft activities. Yacht Club is willing to assist in the development of these
activities by providing docking facilities for public use.
E. To continue the mutual benefits provided by Yacht Club use of the Premises, the
parties desire that Yacht Club shall continue to lease the Premises from the City on the terms set
out in this Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. RENTAL OF PREMISES.
For valuable consideration, the City leases to Yacht Club and Yacht Club leases from
City the Premises described in Exhibit "A" hereto, including any improvements located thereon,
on the terms, covenants and conditions set out in this Lease.
2. TERM.
2.1. Term. The term of the Lease ("Term") shall be for eight (8) years. The Term
shall commence on April 1, 2014 (the "Commencement Date") and shall expire on March 31,
2022 ("Expiration Date").
2.2. Option. Yacht Club shall have the option to renew this Lease on the same terms
for an additional period of eight years, upon written notice to renew the Lease provided to City
not less than six (6) months prior to the Expiration Date.
3. RENT.
3.1. Rent. The Yacht Club shall pay the City the sum of TWENTY-FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($25,000.00) per year as rent during the term, payable in advance
commencing on the Commencement Date of the Lease, and annually thereafter on the
anniversary of the Commencement Date, with adjustments pursuant to Section 3.2.
3.2. Rent Adiustment.
a. The annual rent shall be increased at the commencement of the third year of
the term and every two years thereafter during the term or any renewal term pursuant to the option
granted under Section 2.2 ("adjustment date" herein) to the lesser of a) the annual rent in effect
immediately preceding the adjustment date plus five per cent (5%); or b) the annual rent as adjusted
for the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), as calculated in Section 3.2.b.
b. The base for computing the CPI adjustment is the Consumer Price Index for

immediately preceding the adjustment date in question ("Extension Index" herein) is to be used in
determining the amount of the CPI adjustment. If the Extension Index has increased over the
Beginning Index, the CPI adjustment shall be calculated by multiplying the annual rent by a fraction
consisting of the Extension Index as the numerator and the Beginning Index as the denominator. If
