THIS LEASE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated as of this _____ day of __________,

California (“LESSOR” or “COUNTY”) and _______________, a ________________ (“LESSEE”),
with reference to the following facts:
RECITALS
A. COUNTY is the owner of that certain real property (the “Property”) located at 10566
& 10594 Peter A. McCuen Boulevard; 3587 Bleckley Street; 10635, 10626, 10636, 10618, 10616,
10628, 10638, 10640, 10620 & 10630 Schirra Avenue; 3649, 3560 & 3584 Femoyer Street, Mather,
California 95655, also known as Assessor’s Parcel Number’s (“APN’s”) 067-0010-089, 091, 092 &
100; and
B. The Premises (defined in Article 1 hereof) is part of the property conveyed by the
United States Air Force (“Air Force”) and the United States Health and Human Services to the
COUNTY, which was formerly part of Mather Air Force Base. The Property is subject to covenants,
conditions, restrictions and other limitations as set out in the “Economic Development Conveyance
Agreement,” as amended, between the Air Force and the COUNTY and the Quitclaim Deeds by
which the Air Force and Health and Human Services conveyed the Property to COUNTY
(collectively, “Air Force Conveyance Documents”), recorded in the Office of the County Recorder
for the County of Sacramento in Book 20130503 at Page 1295 and Book 20140106 at Page 0663; and
C. LESSEE expressly acknowledges that groundwater contamination is currently present
underneath or near the former Mather Air Force Base. The contaminated groundwater is due to the
presence of hazardous materials, including volatile organic compounds and ammonium perchlorate,
caused by persons or entities other than COUNTY, which is the subject of ongoing investigation and
monitoring. The United States Department of the Air Force is cleaning up a portion of the
groundwater contamination in the region under the supervision of the State of California Department
of Toxic Substances Control and the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board and the
United States Environmental Protection Agency. In addition, the Boeing Company and Aerojet-
General Corporation are installing monitoring wells in the region pursuant to Cleanup and Abatement
Order No. 97-093 issued by the Regional Board to the Boeing Company and Aerojet General
Corporation to investigate the extent of ammonium perchlorate emanating from the Inactive Rancho
Cordova Test Site, east of the former Mather Air Force Base. LESSEE further expressly acknowledges that this groundwater contamination has forced the closure of water supply wells at the
former Mather Air Force Base, may threaten closure of more wells at the former Mather Air Force
Base and may restrict the COUNTY’s ability to install new or replacement water supply wells on or
2
near the former Mather Air Force Base to supply the Premises and the former Mather Air Force Base
with potable water. The former Mather Air Force Base is located within the service area of Zone 41
of the Sacramento County Water Agency. Zone 41 of the Sacramento County Water Agency is
responsible for and committed to providing a long-term potable water supply to the former Mather
Air Force Base. Drinking water wells on the former Mather Air Force Base are tested for
contaminants as required by the State of California Department of Health Services and the California
Environmental Protection Agency. The most current information and reports regarding potable water
supply at the former Mather Air Force Base are available by contacting the Water Resources
Department of the County of Sacramento Public Works Agency at 10151 Florin Road, Sacramento,
CA 95829 Attn: Water Supply Sr. Engineer (916) 875-6947. The most current information and
reports regarding groundwater contamination at the former Mather Air Force Base are available by
contacting URS at 3411 Olson Street, McClellan, CA 95652 Attn: Bill Hues, (916) 997-1564; and
D. LESSEE is a _________________________ and operating, residing or with principal
place of business at _______________________; and
E. LESSEE desires to lease the Premises from COUNTY for transitional housing, job
training and employment program purposes on the terms hereinafter set forth; and
F. COUNTY is, therefore, willing to lease the Premises to LESSEE upon the promises,
