BETNVEEN THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
AND TERRAPIN CROSSROADS, LLP
September 15, 2014
LEASE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
AND TERRAPIN CROSSROADS, LLP
September 15, 2014
THIS LEASE is made as of September 15, 2014, by and between the CITY of San
Rafael, a California municipal corporation duly chartered under the laws of the state of
California (hereafter "CITY" or "Lessor"), and TERRAPIN CROSSROADS, LLP, a California
Limited Liability Partnership, (hereafter "TERRAPIN CROSSROADS" or "Lessee").
RECITALS
A. The CITY owns that certain real property located adjacent to the San Rafael
Canal in the City of San Rafael, County of Marin, State of California, commonly known and
referred to herein as "Beach Park", being a portion of Assessor's Parcel No. 014-152-27, and
more particularly described as follows:
Beginning at a point on the Southerly line of the San Rafael Canal at the
Northwesterly corner of the lands conveyed to Joseph B. Rice by Deed recorded
February 7, 1935 in Book 292 of Official Records at page 482, Marin County
Records; thence along the Westerly line of said property (292 OR 482), South
11°44'18" West, 164.00 feet; thence leaving said line (292 OR 482), North
7712'23" West, 189.95 feet; thence North 11'44'18" East, 166.00 feet to the
Southerly line of the San Rafael Canal, thence along said Southerly line South
76°36'12" East, 190.00 feet to the point of beginning.
Containing 0.7194 Acres more or less.
B. Beach Park was designed, installed, and dedicated in May 1974 by CITY as a
public serving recreation area.
C. In April 1997 CITY entered into an agreement with Herbert A Crocker &
Company and William R. McDevitt for the development and maintenance of two parcels of
Public Real Property fronting the San Rafael Canal, including Beach Park.
D. Beach Park was subsequently improved and maintained under the 1997 agreement
for approximately 4 years, when the agreement was terminated de facto.
E. Due to limited resources, the CITY's capacity to maintain Beach Park has
diminished in recent years to the point of no regular maintenance and a substantial loss of
landscape and amenities.
F. The CITY's Canal Transportation Plan, the San Francisco Bay `Vater Trail, and
the San Rafael General Plan 2020 each promote improvement and public use of the San Rafael
Canal.
G. TERRAPIN CROSSROADS operates a commercial music and entertainment
venue, open to the public Tuesdays through Sundays, adjacent to Beach Park.
H. TERRAPIN CROSSROADS wishes to upgrade and maintain Beach Park in
exchange for a limited term of substantially -exclusive use to provide food service and
entertainment on the site as defined in this Lease.
I. CITY has a long-term goal to implement the land use and transportation plans
referenced above, but in the interim desires to provide enhanced public use and enjoyment of
Beach Park, and acknowledges that allowing TERRAPIN CROSSROADS to lease Beach Park
upon the terms and conditions set forth herein would provide to the CITY and its residents the
benefit of substantially upgraded park facilities and supervision and security, which CITY is
presently unable to provide and which will make Beach Park more attractive and usable by the
public for park purposes than it would otherwise be.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. RENTAL OF PREMISES.
For valuable consideration, the CITY leases to TERRAPIN CROSSROADS and
TERRAPIN CROSSROADS leases from CITY the Premises described in Exhibit `1" hereto,
including any improvements located thereon, on the terms, covenants and conditions set out in
this Lease (hereafter "the Premises").

shall commence as of September 15, 2014 (the "Commencement Date") and shall expire on
September 14, 2021 ('Expiration Date").
2.2. Option. At the expiration of the Term, CITY in its sole discretion, may offer
TERRAPIN CROSSROADS the option to renew this Lease for an additional period of seven (7)
years or such other term as is agreeable to the parties.
3. RENT.
3.1. Base Rent. TERRAPIN CROSSROADS shall pay the CITY the sum of $15,000
per year as base 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

3.2. CPI-Adiusted Base Rent.
a. The annual base 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.

all Urban Consumers (base years 1982-1984=100) for San Francisco -Oakland -San Jose, published
by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics ("Index" herein), which is in effect on
the date of the commencement of the term ("Beginning Index" herein). The Index published most
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
the Index is discontinued or revised during the term, such other government index or computation
with which it is replaced shall be used in order to obtain substantially the same result as would have
been obtained if the Index had not been discontinued or revised.
