AGENDA REPORT DocuSign Envelope ID: 000643B7-D5C5-4342-B84F-76D12943EB6E 17 N/A DocuSign Envelope ID: A79378CC-A72C-493A-BDC4-3BD95374DB16 Agenda Report November 15, 2022 Page 2 BACKGROUND In February 2020, the City Council adopted Ordinance 1505, approving freeway adjacent digital display billboards under limited circumstances. The Ordinance requires that a digital display billboard can only replace an existing legal non- conforming static billboard or a freeway oriented electronic changeable copy sign. It must be located within 400 feet of either Interstate 5 (I -5) freeway or State Route 55 (SR-55) freeway right-of-way and may be no closer than 300 feet to the nearest residentially zoned parcel. The distance is measured from the border of the digital display billboard face, or the base of the digital display billboard structure, whichever is closest to the residentially zoned parcel. At the time of the 2020 Ordinance adoption, there were six (6) billboards, five (5) legal non-conforming static billboards and one (1) existing digital display billboard located in the Tustin Auto Center (Auto Center). However, the Auto Center billboard was not allowed under the sign regulations to advertise businesses, activities, services, or products not sold or produced on their premises. On June 16, 2020, the City Council adopted Ordinance 1507 allowing the Auto Center’s digital display billboard to provide off-site advertising to be consistent with and as allowed under Ordinance 1505. Of the remaining five (5) static billboards, four (4) do not comply with Ordinance 1505 and therefore cannot be converted to digital displays. Only one existing billboard, located at SR-55 Freeway (SR-55) and Edinger Avenue, is eligible for conversion to a digital display. The billboard is within approximately 300 feet from the nearest lane of travel on the SR-55 and the nearest residentially zoned parcel is located approximately 400 feet north of the existing billboard. Since December 1994, the City of Tustin has had a static display billboard Lease Agreement with Outfront or its predecessors at the City property at the SR-55 and Edinger Avenue location. On August 20, 2019, the City Council approved the Second Amendment to the Lease Agreement, increasing the annual payment to sixty thousand dollars ($60,000) with a three percent (3%) annual increase. Outfront’s payment in August 2022 was sixty-five thousand five hundred sixty-three dollars and sixty-two cents ($65,563.62). Outfront has proposed to remove the existing static display billboard and construct and operate a new digital display billboard at this location. City staff have negotiated the proposed twenty-year Agreement with Outfront that will pay the City annual rent, either a Minimum Annual Guarantee (MAG) of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) or twenty-five percent (25%) of Annual Net Revenue (ANR), whichever is greater. At the end of every Agreement year, Outfront will calculate the ANR and, if it DocuSign Envelope ID: 000643B7-D5C5-4342-B84F-76D12943EB6EDocuSign Envelope ID: A79378CC-A72C-493A-BDC4-3BD95374DB16 Agenda Report November 15, 2022 Page 3 exceeds the MAG, Outfront will pay the City the difference between the amounts. For example, if ANR totals one million dollars ($1,000,000), Outfront will pay the City an additional one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000). Every five years, the MAG increases by ten percent (10%) and, after ten years, the City’s share of ANR increases from 25% to thirty percent (30%). Outfront will prepare and submit to the City a detailed revenue report for the applicable period and the City will be entitled to examine and audit all of Outfront’s records relating to the revenue collections after receipt of the revenue report. The Agreement also establishes additional revenue benchmarks in which Outfront, will pay the City an additional percentage share of ANR against those amounts in excess of the specific benchmarks.  If Outfront’s ANR exceeds one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000), the City’s share of every dollar over the benchmark is sixty percent (60%).  If Outfront’s ANR exceeds one million seven hundred thousand dollars ($1,700,000), the City’s share of every dollar over the benchmark is seventy percent (70%).  If Outfront’s ANR exceeds one million nine hundred thousand dollars ($1,900,000), the City’s share of every dollar over the benchmark is eighty percent (80%).  If Outfront’s ANR exceeds two million one hundred thousand dollars ($2,100,000), the City’s share of every dollar over the benchmark is ninety percent (90%). Finally, as an additional consideration for the Agreement, Outfront will also make a one- time, one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) payment within thirty (30) days of receiving Caltrans permits for the digital display. Prior to committing the financial resources to pursue the entitlements and all governmental permits for a digital display billboard, Outfront is seeking conditional approval of the Agreement as to form. Outfront understands that execution of the Agreement and the subsequent construction and operation of the digital display billboard is conditioned upon Outfront’s receipt of all City and Caltrans approvals. Final execution by the City Manager of this Agreement will not occur until Outfront completes and secures approvals of the necessary entitlements from the City. Entitlements include a Development Agreement (DA) and Conditional Use Permit (CUP). In accordance with Ordinance 1505, DA approval requires that the City Council must find the DA will confer a substantial public benefit to the City and to the gen eral public. Public benefits may include, without limitation, the removal of additional legal non - conforming static billboards within the City, advertising of City events and public service announcements, and/or financial contributions to the City.

(25% of $1.5 million = $375,000.00) plus (60% of $200,000 = $120,000) plus (70% of $200,000 = $140,000) plus (80% of $200,000 = $160,000) plus (90% of $400,000 = $360,000) for a total of $1,155,000 minus $100,000.00 MAG = $1,055,000)]. NOTE: Calculations assumed ASR was 25% and the MAG was $100,000. If ASR was 30% and/or the MAG had increased, then the calculation would utilize that ASR and/or MAG.

TAXES If applicable, Lessee will be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against Lessee’s possessory interest in and to real property, personal property, furniture, fixtures, and equipment located or placed on the Leased Premises under this Lease, whether owned by the Lessee, or otherwise.

Lessee further agrees to ensure that the Improvements will not unreasonably impede or interfere with the use or operation of the Lessor Property; provided, however, Lessor acknowledges and agrees that Lessee’s operation of the Leased Premises as intended under this Lease for the display of an advertising billboard shall not, of itself, be deemed to unreasonably impede or interfere with the use or operation of the Lessor Property. As used herein, “maintain” means, as applicable, construct, install, paint, service, repair, alter, maintain, reconstruct, reinstall, replace, upgrade or remove. Subject to Lessor’s reasonable consent, Lessee will be entitled to trim or remove vegetation on the Leased Premises that obstructs the view of the Digital Display Billboard from adjacent thoroughfares subject to compliance with City’s applicable laws.

ALTERATIONS, LIENS AND SIGNS 8.1 Alterations. Except for the Improvements including the Digital Display Billboard and the use of the Leased Premises as described in Section 5, Lessee may make no additional alterations, additions or improvements to the Leased Premises without obtaining the prior written consent of Lessor in each instance; provided, the foregoing prohibition shall not apply in the event that Lessee is maintaining, replacing or repairing DocuSign Envelope ID: A79378CC-A72C-493A-BDC4-3BD95374DB16 1732379.2 the Digital Display Billboard or Improvements.

Lessee has no authority to create or place any lien or encumbrance of any kind or nature whatsoever upon the interest of Lessor or Lessee in the Leased Premises for any claim in favor of any person dealing with Lessee, including those who may furnish materials or perform labor for any construction or repairs. Lessee covenants and agrees that it will pay or cause to be paid all sums legally due and payable by it on account of any labor performed or materials furnished in connection with any work performed by Lessee on the Leased Premises. Lessee must discharge of record by payment, bonding or otherwise any claim of lien or stop notice filed against the Leased Premises on account of any labor performed or materials furnished in connection with any work performed by Lessee on the Leased Premises immediately upon the filing of any claim of lien or stop notice. Lessee must indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from any and all loss, cost or expense based on or arising out of asserted claims, liens or stop notice against the leasehold estate or against the right, title and interest of Lessor in the Leased Premises or this Lease arising from the act or agreement of Lessee. If Lessee becomes aware of the placing of a lien, stop notice, or encumbrance against the Leased Premises, Lessee agrees to give Lessor immediate written notice of the placing of any lien or stop notice or encumbrance against the Leased Premises. Notwithstanding the above, Lessee may, with Lessor’s written consent, which consent may be withheld for any reason in the sole discretion of Lessor, encumber the Digital Display Billboard and its other permitted Improvements. 8.3 Signs. Except for the Digital Display Billboard, Lessee may not, erect or install any other signs, decorations or advertising media of any type which can be viewed from outside the Leased Premises. 9.

INSURANCE 10.1 Lessor's Insurance. Lessor may maintain insurance covering the Leased Premises and Lessor’s ownership and operation thereof in such types and amounts as it deems necessary in its sole discretion. Such insurance must be for the sole benefit of Lessor and under its sole control. Lessee's insurance policies must provide primary coverage to Lessor; when any such policy issued to Lessor provides duplicate coverage or is similar in coverage, Lessor’s policy will be excess over Lessee 's policies.

DocuSign Envelope ID: A79378CC-A72C-493A-BDC4-3BD95374DB16 1732379.2 12. LESSOR'S RIGHT OF ACCESS Upon no less than forty-eight hours’ written notice, Lessee will permit Lessor and its agents, at all reasonable times (and at any time in case of emergency), in such manner as to cause as little disturbance to Lessee as reasonably practicable (a) to enter into and upon the Leased Premises to inspect them or to protect Lessor's interest therein, (b) to take all necessary materials and equipment onto the Leased Premises, and perform necessary work thereon to the extent expressly permitted under this Lease, and (c) to perform non-invasive testing, monitoring, and analysis on, under or about the Leased Premises. 13. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING 13.1 Lessor’s Consent. Lessee may not assign all or any portion of its interest in this Lease, whether voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and may not sublet all or any portion of the Leased Premises, including, but not limited to, sharing them, permitting another party to occupy them or granting concessions or licenses to another party, except with the prior written consent of Lessor (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Lessee may assign its interest in this Lease, without the written consent of Lessor, in connection with any of the following: if Lessee merges with another company, reorganizes its stock, or undergoes a similar corporate restructuring, or if Lessee sells all or substantially all of its assets or if Lessee changes its name. 13.2 Fees. Lessee must pay Lessor's reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in evaluating any proposed assignment or sublease and in documenting Lessor's consent, 13.3 Procedure. Whenever Lessee has obtained an offer to assign any interest in this Lease or to sublease all or any portion of the Leased Premises, Lessee must provide to Lessor the name and address of said proposed assignee or sublessee, all compensation, the proposed use by the proposed assignee or sublessee, the proposed effective date of the assignment or subletting, and any other business terms which are material to the offer and which differ from the provisions of this Lease ("Notice of Offer"). Lessee must also provide to Lessor the nature of business, financial statement, and business experience resume for the immediately preceding five (5) years of the proposed assignee or sublessee and such other information concerning such proposed assignee or sublessee as Lessor may reasonably require. The foregoing information must be in writing and must be received by Lessor no less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the proposed assignment or sublease. Within thirty (30) days of receiving a complete Notice of Offer for the proposed assignment or subletting, Lessor must either notify Lessee that Lessor consents to the proposed assignment or subletting or withholds its consent for reasons to be specified in the notice. If Lessor does not provide a notice granting its consent to Lessee within thirty (30) days of receiving a Notice of Offer, Lessor will be deemed to have granted its consent to the proposed assignment or subletting, and Lessor's reasons for any withholding of such a consent will be furnished to Lessee concurrently with the notice indicating the same. DocuSign Envelope ID: A79378CC-A72C-493A-BDC4-3BD95374DB16 1732379.2 13.4 Continuing Lessee Obligations. Any subleasing or assignment, even with the approval of Lessor, will not relieve Lessee from liability for payment of all forms of Rent and other charges herein provided or from the obligations to keep and be bound by the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease. 13.5 Waiver, Default and Consent. The acceptance of Rent from any other person will not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the provisions of this Lease or a consent to the assignment or subletting of the Leased Premises. Any assignment or sublease without Lessor's prior written consent (where such consent is required under this Lease) will be voidable, at Lessor's election, and will constitute a default hereunder. Consent to any assignment or subletting will not be deemed a consent to any future assignment or subletting. 14. CONDEMNATION 14.1 Taking . If the whole or any substantial part of the Leased Premises, as determined by Lessor, should be taken or damaged because of the exercise of the power of eminent domain, whether by condemnation proceedings or otherwise, including acts or omissions constituting inverse condemnation, or any transfer of the Leased Premises or portion thereof in avoidance of the exercise of the power of eminent domain (collectively, a "Taking"), and the Taking would prevent or materially interfere with the use of the Leased Premises for the purpose for which they are being used, as determined by Lessee, Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease when or after the physical Taking of the Leased Premises occurs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Lessee shall have all rights in law or equity in connection with a Taking, including, without limitation, the right to dispute a Taking and to pursue just compensation as a result thereof. 14.2 Partial Taking. If part of the Premises is subject to a Taking and this Lease is not terminated as provided in Section 14.1 above, this Lease will not terminate. 14.3 Condemnation Award. Lessor and Lessee may each independently seek to recover all compensation and other remedies provided by law for any Taking of the Leased Premises, including relocation benefits and loss of goodwill; however, Lessor may not seek or recover compensation from Lessee’s lost interests, and Lessee may not seek or recover compensation for Lessor’s lost interests. 14.3 Exclusive Remedy. This Section 14 will be Lessee's sole and exclusive remedy in the event of any Taking. Lessee hereby waives the benefits of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130. 15. SURRENDER 15.1 Static Billboard. Upon termination or automatic expiration of the Initial Term pursuant to Section 3.3.1, and unless otherwise agreed by Lessor and Lessee, Lessee must, at its sole cost and expense, apply for demolition permits from the City within thirty (30) days and completely remove the Static Billboard, including, but not limited to, any structure or facility erected or maintained as part of or in relation to the Static Billboard, from the Leased Premises within ninety (90) days from receipt of demolition permits from the City for such removal. Lessee shall restore the Premises to its original condition DocuSign Envelope ID: A79378CC-A72C-493A-BDC4-3BD95374DB16 1732379.2 (reasonable wear and tear, modifications required to accommodate the installation of the Digital Display Billboard, and damage or destruction by casualty or the acts of God beyond the control of Lessor excepted), except that Lessee shall only be required to remove the support column(s)/footing to a depth of five (5) feet below grade. Removal of the Static Billboard will be in accordance with any applicable federal, state, or local regulations, including regulations of the City. Lessee will, at its sole cost and expense, secure any required permits to remove and properly transport the Static Billboard from the Leased Premises. 15.2 Digital Display Billboard. Upon termination or expiration of the Operating Term, and unless otherwise agreed by Lessor and Lessee, Lessee must, at its sole cost and expense, apply for demolition permits from the City within thirty (30) days and completely remove the Digital Display Billboard, including, but not limited to, any above- grade structure or facility erected or maintained as part of or in relation to the Digital Display Billboard, from the Leased Premises within ninety (90) days from receipt of demolition permits from the City for such removal. Lessee shall restore the Premises to its original condition (reasonable wear and tear and damage or destruction by casualty or the acts of God beyond the control of Lessor excepted), except that Lessee shall only be required to remove the support column(s)/footing to a depth of ten (10) feet below grade. Removal of the Digital Display Billboard will be in accordance with any applicable federal, state, or local regulations, including regulations of the City. Lessee will, at its sole cost and expense, secure any required permits to remove and properly transport the Digital Display Billboard from the Leased Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that the Static Billboard and the Digital Display Billboard shall at all times remain the sole property of Lessee, notwithstanding that the same may be, from time to time, permanently affixed to the Leased Premises or other real or personal property located thereon. 15.3 In the event that Lessee fails to timely remove the Static Billboard and/or Digital Display Billboard as provided in Sections 15.1 and 15.2, Lessor may remove the Static Billboard and/or Digital Display Billboard and exercise its rights below to pay for such removal. Any such removal of the Static Billboard and/or Digital Display Billboard by Lessor after the termination or expiration of this Lease will not entitle Lessee to any damages of any kind whatsoever against Lessor, and Lessee hereby releases the Lessor, its officers, employees, agents or contractors from any claims or liabilities, for any action by the Lessor, its officers, employees, agents or contractors in removing the Static Billboard and/or Digital Display Billboard. Should Lessor be required to exercise its rights under this Section 15.3 due to Lessee’s failure to comply with this Section, or should Lessee fail to pay all costs and expenses of removal and storage of the Static Billboard and/or Digital Display Billboard, Lessee will be liable to Lessor to pay any reasonable expenses incurred by Lessor in exercising its rights under this Section 15.3 and will pay Lessor such costs within no more than ten (10) days following Lessor’s delivery of an invoice itemizing such expenses and demanding payment for the same. 16. QUIET ENJOYMENT Lessor represents and warrants that it has full rights and authority to enter into this Lease and that Lessee, upon paying the Rent herein set forth and performing its other covenants and agreements herein set forth, will peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the DocuSign Envelope ID: A79378CC-A72C-493A-BDC4-3BD95374DB16 1732379.2 Leased Premises for the Term without hindrance or molestation from Lessor, subject to the terms and provisions of this Lease and all matters of record. 17.

Such notice will be in lieu of and not in addition to any notice required under Section 1161 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. 17.2 Lessor's Remedies.

All obligations of Lessor hereunder will be construed as covenants, not conditions. 18.2 Lessee’s Remedies. Except as provided below, in the event of any default by Lessor, Lessee's shall have all available to it all remedies available at law or equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event of any default by Lessor, Lessee shall have the right to: (1) maintain an action for specific performance; (2) maintain an action for actual damages, provided, however, that Lessee expressly waives the right to any cause of action or claim for consequential, economic, or incidental damages, including lost profits, as well as any cause of action or claim for exemplary or punitive damages; or (3) to terminate this Lease.

This Lease may not be altered, changed or amended except by an instrument in writing signed and dated by both parties. 19.7 Waivers. The waiver by either party of any term, covenant, agreement or condition herein contained will not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant, agreement or condition herein contained, nor will any custom or practice which may grow up between the Parties in the administration of this Lease be construed to waive or lessen the right of the party to insist upon performance in strict accordance with all of the provisions of this Lease. The failure of a party to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms, conditions, and covenants of this Lease will not be deemed a waiver of any right or remedy that party may have, and will not be deemed a waiver of any right or remedy for a subsequent breach or default of the terms, conditions and covenants herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Lessor will not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any provisions, covenant, agreement or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent. 19.8 Survival of Obligations. All obligations of Lessee hereunder accrued but not fully performed as of the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease will survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, including without limitation, all payment obligations with respect to Rent and all obligations concerning the condition of the Leased Premises. 19.9 Severability. If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the Term of this Lease, then and in that event, it is the intention of the Parties hereto that the remainder of this Lease will not be affected thereby, and it is also the intention of the Parties to this Lease that in lieu of each clause or provision of this Lease that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there be added as a part of this Lease a clause or provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause or provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable. 19.10 Easements. Lessor reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to grant such easements, rights and dedications that Lessor deems necessary or desirable, and to cause the recordation of parcel maps, easement agreements and covenants, conditions and restrictions, so long as such easements, rights, dedications, maps and covenants, conditions and restrictions do not unreasonably interfere with the permitted use of the DocuSign Envelope ID: A79378CC-A72C-493A-BDC4-3BD95374DB16 1732379.2 Leased Premises by Lessee. Lessee must sign any of the aforementioned documents, subject to commercially reasonable comments from Lessee, promptly following request of Lessor and failure to do so will constitute a material breach of this Lease. 19.11 Performance Under Protest. If at any time a dispute arises as to any amount or sum of money to be paid by one party to the other under the provisions hereof, the party against whom the obligation to pay the money is asserted will have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment will not be regarded as a voluntary payment, the right on the part of said party to institute suit for recovery of such sum will survive. If it is adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part of said party to pay such sum or any part thereof, said party will be entitled to recover such sum or so much thereof as it was not legally required to pay under the provisions of this Lease. 19.12 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Lease is not intended by either party to confer any benefit on any third party, including without limitations any broker, finder, or brokerage firm. 19.13 Effective Date/Nonbinding Offer.
