WHEREAS, it is appropriate that the following contract be entered into for the safety and convenience of the general public in the use and enjoyment of, and the overall enhancement of recreational and educational experience at units of the state park system.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED BY AND BETWEEN

THE PARTIES AS FOLLOWS:

1. DESCRIPTION OF PREMISES

The State for and in consideration of the agreements hereinafter stated, grants to

Concessionaire for the purposes stated herein, the right, privilege, and duty to develop, equip, operate, and maintain a nonexclusive concession in Silverwood Lake SRA at the location(s) as set forth within the approximate yellow outlined areas in the attached

Exhibit A (the "Premises") and further described in Section 7, Use of Premises.

The possessory interest herein given to the Concessionaire does not exclude the general public from the Premises; however, the use by the general public is limited by the terms and conditions of the possessory interest given herein. This Contract is not intended to confer third-party beneficiary status to any member of the public who is benefited by the terms of this Contract. The possessory interest is further subject to all valid and existing contracts, leases, licenses, encumbrances, and claims of title that may affect the Premises.

2. CONDITION OF PREMISES

The taking of possession of the Premises by the Concessionaire, in itself, shall constitute acknowledgment that the Premises are in good and sufficient condition for the purposes for which Concessionaire is entering into this Contract. Concessionaire agrees to accept Premises in their presently existing condition, "AS IS,” and that the

State shall not be obligated to make any alterations, additions, or betterments to the

Premises except as otherwise provided for in this Contract.

3. TERM

The term of this Contract shall be for a period of thirty years (30), commencing on the first day of the month following approval by the California Department of General

Services. Should Concessionaire hold-over after the expiration of the term of this

Contract with the express or implied consent of the State, such holding-over shall be deemed to be a tenancy from month-to-month at the herein-stated prescribed rent as set forth in this Contract in Section 47 Surrender of Premises; Holding Over, with continuous Consumer Price Index adjustment, as defined below, subject otherwise to all the terms and conditions of this Contract.

4. RENT

For the first three (3) Contract Years, Concessionaire shall pay rent at ten percent (10%) of Gross Receipts, excluding fuel and oil sales.

Beginning with Contract Year 4, Concessionaire shall pay, without offset, deduction, prior notice, or demand, as "Minimum Annual Rent” the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) annually or ten percent (10%) of Gross Receipts, excluding fuel and oil sales, whichever sum is greater, [OPTIONAL: plus, two percent (2%) of monthly fuel and oil sales]. All Gross Receipts shall be included in the Concessionaire’s

Monthly Report of Operation also known as form DPR 54 (Exhibit B) and are subject to rent.

At the end of Contract Year Five (5) and on the last day of each fifth contract year thereafter herein referred to as the “Subject Contract Year”, the Minimum Annual

Rent ($25,000) shall be adjusted to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

Such CPI adjustments shall be made in accordance with the procedure set forth in

Exhibit G, attached to and made a part of this Contract.

Concessionaire shall make payment of Minimum Annual Rent and other payments to State in lawful money of the United States. However, if any payment made by a check, draft, or money order is returned to State due to insufficient funds or otherwise, State shall have the right, at any time after the return, upon written notice to

Concessionaire, to require Concessionaire to make all subsequent payments in cash or by cashier's or certified check.

Beginning with the fifteenth (15th) day of the month following the Commencement

Date, and on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each month thereafter, Concessionaire shall furnish to State a verified statement of the concession’s Gross Receipts for the preceding month. Such statement shall be submitted on DPR 54 (Exhibit B), or in a format previously approved by the State, and shall specify the current period and cumulative total of Gross Receipts for the concession through the end of the preceding month for the then current Contract Year. Concessionaire shall also provide such statement for periods of non-operation. Concurrent with such monthly statement, the

Concessionaire shall pay to State the appropriate rental fee based on the Gross

Receipts for the preceding calendar month as prescribed above. Payments to State shall be made to the order of the Department of Parks and Recreation and delivered to the District Office identified in Section 62, Contract Notice, or at such other location as may from time to time be designated by State. If, at the end of the Contract Year, the total of monthly percentage rental payments made (or due) during that Contract Year is less than the Minimum Annual Rent required for that Contract Year, the difference shall be remitted to State with the last monthly sales statement for the Contract Year.

Payments must be received by State on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of the month as described above. Any late payment shall constitute a default and breach of contract, giving rise to State's remedies as set forth below. Further, any late payment will be subject to a late penalty consisting of an administrative charge on the late amount, calculated at the rate of five percent (5%) of the amount of the late payment or portion thereof. The parties agree that the late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs State will incur because of late payment. Acceptance of the late charge by State shall not constitute a waiver of Concessionaire's default for the overdue amount, nor prevent State from exercising the other rights and remedies granted under this Contract. Concessionaire shall pay the late charge as additional rent with the next monthly rent payment.

Any amount due to State, if not paid within five (5) days following the due date, will bear interest from the due date until paid at the rate of ten percent (10%) per year.

However, interest shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Concessionaire.

Payment of interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Concessionaire.

Upon written request by the Concessionaire to State demonstrating unusual or extenuating circumstances causing the late payment, the State, in its sole discretion, may waive the late charge. Further, in the event Concessionaire is prevented from carrying on the operations contemplated herein by reason of Force Majeure, as defined in Section 64, (Force Majeure) and when requested in writing in advance by

Concessionaire, Minimum Rent may be abated in proportion to the amount by which

Gross Receipts are reduced by the occurrence for such period of reduced or non-operation, as determined in the sole discretion of State.

If this Contract is terminated by State because of Concessionaire's default, and if

Concessionaire becomes liable for any deficiency in rent and/or fees by way of damages or otherwise, or if at any time during the Contract term Concessionaire ceases to conduct in the Premises the business referred to herein below, then from and after the time of the breach causing this termination, or from and after the time of the cessation of business, all unpaid rent and/or fees prior to the breach causing termination or cessation of business shall become due and payable. The amount due shall be deemed to be the greater of: (a) the Minimum Rent provided herein, or (b) an amount based upon the average of the payments that have accrued to State as percentage rent during the twenty-four (24) months preceding the termination or cessation of business, unless the termination or cessation occurs is less than three (3) years of the beginning of the Contract term, in which event the previous twelve (12) (or fewer, if applicable) months shall be used as the basis of this average.

5. GROSS RECEIPTS

The term "Gross Receipts”, wherever used in this Contract, is intended to and shall mean all moneys, property, or any other thing of value received by or owed to

Concessionaire and any sub-concessionaire or operator, if other than Concessionaire, through or in connection with the operation of this concession, including any concession related business carried on through the internet or catalog sales, or from any other business carried on or in connection with the Premises, or from any other use of the

Premises, and/or of any business of any kind that uses the names licensed by this

Contract, or that associates with or implies an endorsement by State, all without deduction. The term "Gross Receipts" shall not include any sales taxes imposed by any governmental entity and collected by Concessionaire.
