BACKGROUND INFORMATION:  In May 2013 the Commission approved the ORCOA to facilitate the joint operation of the 91  Express Lanes between the Commission and OCTA (Parties) through the use of the existing  contractor, Cofiroute.  The scope of work included in the ORCOA identifies the Parties’  responsibilities that are shared and those that are unique to each agency.  It also establishes  the Parties’ financial obligation for their respective responsibilities.  As the Commission moves toward the opening of the 91 Express Lanes and the scope of work is  more defined, certain elements of the agreement need to be amended.  While certain items  were identified in the agreement to be addressed before opening, others were unanticipated  operational changes that require a modification to the scope of work.  The ORCOA included a negotiated annual 3 percent escalation increase to the annual lump sum  price.  However, based on a review of the consumer price index over the past three years, staff  has determined a 2 percent annual increase through July 2021 to be more reasonable.  This  change results in a $922,314 reduction to the ORCOA.  The scope of work includes the provision of a customer assistance specialist (CAS).  The CAS was  to be provided by Cofiroute for on‐road customer assistance. However, the Commission was  informed by the California Highway Patrol that the Commission is required to operate on‐road  customer assistance services through the Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) program as designated  1 Agenda Item 6 customer assistance services through the Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) program as designated by the Freeway Service Patrol Act. Subsequently, staff competitively procured dedicated on- road customer assistance services for the 91 Express Lanes, and the Commission awarded a FSP agreement to a firm in September. As a result of this change, an amendment is necessary to remove the CAS from the scope of work and to reduce the Commission’s share of the agreement by $2,235,128. The scope of work requires Cofiroute to provide maintenance of the on -road equipment, vehicles, and facilities. However, it does not address who is responsible for providing the vehicles to be used and maintained by Cofiroute. OCTA has provided Cofiroute with service vehicles for use on its portion of the 91 Express Lanes , and the Commission needs to provide three maintenance trucks for use on the Commission’s extension of the 91 Express Lanes in Riverside County. Cofiroute provided the Commission with three separate bids for the maintenance trucks and will purchase the trucks from the lowest bidder. The estimated cost of the trucks, equipment, uniforms, and equipment rental for the term of the contract is $256,495. The proposed changes to the ORCOA costs are as follows: Original Agreement Amount $34,097,946 Escalation Reduction to 2 percent ($922,314) CAS Reduction ($2,235,128) Maintenance Vehicles $256,495 Revised Agreement Amount $31,196,999 Staff requests approval of an amendment to the ORCOA to change the annual escalation rate, remove the CAS from the scope of work, and include the purchase of service vehicles and related costs resulting in a net reduction of $2,900,947. The FY 2016/17 budget includes a 3 percent escalation, CAS costs, and cost for purchasing and maintaining the maintenance trucks. The amount related to CAS costs has been transferred to the FSP expenses budget; therefore, a budget adjustment is not required.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Per the 2008 TUMF restated Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Commission and the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) and the WRCOG Administrative Plan, the Commission receives 46.39 percent of TUMF revenues. Of the Commission’s share, 50 percent is allocated to the TUMF Regional Arterial program with the remaining 50 percent allocated to projects designated under the Community and Environmental Transportation Acceptability Program (CETAP) corridors. These corridors include Riverside-Orange County, Riverside-San Bernardino County, North-South, and East-West corridors. In 2004, the Commission approved a total of 24 projects for Western Riverside County TUMF Regional Arterial program in addition to funding allocated to the Commission’s State Route 79 realignment project for a total of 25 projects. Of the 24 local agency regional arterial projects, two were substituted, and four projects were suspended. As a result, 20 local agency projects remain in the program. Total TUMF revenues and expenditures since inception reported by the Commission through June 30, 2016, are as follows: 17 Agenda Item 7 CETAP Regional Arterials Total Revenues, including interest $ 166,951,517 $ 166,705,596 $ 333,657,113 Expenditures (127,503,132) (135,537,300) (263,040,432) Balance 39,448,385 31,168,296 70,616,681 Outstanding Commitments (39,448,385) (16,361,821) (55,810,206) Uncommitted Balance $ 0 $ 14,806,475 $ 14,806,475 The majority of the regional arterial projects are under agreement. These projects have also either completed construction or are under construction, attached. The Commission approved one developer credit reimbursement agreement with the city of Corona in the amount of $3,051,636. The Commission approved an annual 10 percent set aside of budgeted Regional Arterial funds for this developer credit reimbursement and to date the developer has been reimbursed $2.5 million. There are three projects remaining to be programmed for the construction phase as follows:  Interstate 15/Railroad Canyon Interchange  Interstate 15/Limonite Avenue Interchange  Van Buren Boulevard, Washington Street to Wood Road Preliminary project estimates for the above projects would require $80 million or more to fully fund construction. FY 2016/17 TUMF revenue projections total $18.5 million, with $9.25 million for regional arterials and $9.25 million for CETAP. Based on current revenue estimates, it could take several years to accrue enough funds to complete funding for the above three projects. Therefore, staff does not anticipate including additional projects into the Regional Arterial program until such time these projects are fully funded.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Commission has studied opportunities to improve mobility in Western Riverside County since 1998. The Community and Environmental Transportation Acceptability Process (CETAP) is one of the elements of the Riverside County Integrated Project (RCIP), initiated by Riverside County (County) in 1998. The other two elements of the RCIP are the Riverside County General Plan and the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP). The primary 20 Agenda Item 8 purpose of CETAP was to determine where to locate possible major new transportation facilities to serve the current and future transportation needs of Western Riverside County whil e preserving critical habitat. CETAP represented a balanced approach to the provision of important transportation improvements, while limiting the impacts on communities and the environment. Major transportation facilities invariably have impacts, but th e benefits of new transportation facilities to Western Riverside County are substantial and the actions are critical to sustaining mobility for the County’s future. The CETAP corridors are part of the overall system of transportation improvements and the corridors do not stand alone, however these corridors are an integral part of the County’s general plan and the MSHCP. As part of the CETAP process, the Commission approved moving forward with project level environmental studies for the MCP project on December 13, 2003. At its April 2015 meeting, the Commission as the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) certified the final environmental impact report, adopted findings pursuant to CEQA, adopted a mitigation monitoring and reporting program, adopted a statement of overriding considerations, and approved the MCP project. As the lead agency under the National Environmental Policy Act, the Federal Highway Administration approved the final environmental impact statement on April 15, 2015, and issued a record of decision for the MCP project in August 2015. At its January 2016 meeting, the Commission authorized staff to proceed with design and ROW acquisition for the Project as the first construction contract for the MCP project notwithstanding the current legal challenges to the MCP project. At its March 2016 meeting, the Commission approved an agreement with Overland, Pacific and Cutler, Inc. (OPC) to provide ROW support services for the MCP project. DISCUSSION: The first project related to the MCP is the construction of a new interchange at I -215 and Placentia Avenue in the city of Perris. Procurement Process for Final Design Pursuant to Government Code 4525 et seq, selection of architect, engineer, and related services shall be on the basis of demonstrated competence and on professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services required. Therefore, staff used the qualification method of selection for the procurement of PS&E services for the Project. Evaluation criteria included elements such as qualifications of firm, staffing and project organization, project understanding and approach, and the ability to respond to the requirements set forth under the terms of a request for qualifications (RFQ). 21 Agenda Item 8 RFQ No. 16-31-066-00 for preparation of plans, specifications, and estimates for the Project was released by staff on June 30, 2016. A public notice was advertised in the Press Enterprise, and the RFQ was posted on the Commission’s Planet Bids website, which is accessible through the Commission’s website. Through Planet Bids, 92 firms downloaded the RFQ; 23 of these firms are located in Riverside County. A pre-submittal meeting was held on July 14 and attended by 17 firms. Staff responded to all questions submitted by potential proposers prior to the July 28 clarification deadline date. Six firms – AECOM; Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. (Jacobs); Michael Baker International, Inc. (Michael Baker); Moffatt & Nichol; Parsons Transportation Group, Inc.; and T.Y. Lin; – submitted responsive and responsible statements of qualifications prior to the 2:00 p.m. submittal deadline on August 4. Based on the evaluation criteria set forth in the RFQ, the firms were evaluated and scored by an evaluation com mittee comprised of Commission, Bechtel, city of Perris, and Caltrans staff. Based on the evaluation committee’s assessment of the written proposals and pursuant to the terms of the RFQ, the evaluation committee shortlisted and invited four firms (AECOM, Jacobs, Michael Baker, and T.Y. Lin) to the interview phase of the evaluation and selection process. Interviews were conducted on August 24. The evaluation committee conducted a subsequent evaluation of each firm, based on both written and interview components presented to the evaluation committe e by each proposer. Accordingly, the evaluation committee recommends contract award to T.Y. Lin to provide PS&E services for the Project, as it earned the highest total evaluation score. Subsequently, staff negotiated the scope of work (including the appropriate level of effort, labor categories/mix, etc.), cost, and schedule proposal received from T.Y. Lin for the Project services and established a fair and reasonable price. The proposed cost, including contingency, is $3,754,000. Staff anticipates advertising for the construction contract by early 2019. Other Agreements A cooperative agreement with Caltrans will be needed to identify the Commission and Caltrans responsibilities for acquisition of right of way and for final design, or preparation of plans, specifications, and estimate for the Project. In addition, the Project will require separate agreements with impacted utility companies, i.e. gas, water, sewer, telephone, cable, and electric at an estimated cost of $1.2 million. It is anticipated approximately 438 assessor parcels will be impacted by the MCP project, including the first segment related to the Project. The properties are comprised of residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural uses and are almost twice as many as the SR-91 Corridor Improvement Project. Current estimated right of way acquisition costs for the MCP are $237 million; costs for the Project represent approximately 3.3 percent of the total cost. OPC will provide right of way support services for the MCP project. Based on Commission feedback related to approval processes for previous Commission projects requiring significant right of way 22 Agenda Item 8 acquisition, staff has considered a proper balance of timing and legal requirements. Therefore, staff recommends authorization for the Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to acquire required parcels and mitigation property for the MCP project in accordance with the Commission’s right of way policies and procedures and subject to available funding. Recommendation Staff recommends award of Agreement No. 16-31-066-00 to T.Y. Lin to perform PS&E services for the Project, based on the final negotiated project scope and cost of $3,412,700, plus the contingency amount of $341,300, for a total amount not to exceed $3,754,000. Staff also recommends approval of Agreement No. 17-31-039-00 with Caltrans to define each agency’s responsibilities for the acquisition of right of way and preparation of PS&E. Additionally, staff recommends authorization for the Executive Director to approve utility agreements for the Project and to acquire required parcels and mitigation property for the MCP project. There are sufficient funds in the FY 2016/17 budget for the PS&E services, utility relocations, and right of way acquisitions, and a budget amendment is not required. Subsequent years’ final design, utility relocation, and right of way acquisition costs will be budgeted, subject to available funding.

PARTNERS do not intend this AGREEMENT to create a third party beneficiary or define duties, obligations, or rights in parties not signatory to this AGREEMENT. PARTNERS do not intend this AGREEMENT to affect their legal liability by imposing any standard of care for fulfilling OBLIGATIONS different from the standards imposed by law. 65. PARTNERS will not assign or attempt to assign OBLIGATIONS to parties not signatory to this AGREEMENT without an amendment to this AGREEMENT. 66. RCTC will not interpret any ambiguity contained in this AGREEMENT against CALTRANS. RCTC waives the provisions of California Civil Code section 1654. A waiver of a PARTNER’s performance under this AGREEMENT will not constitute a continuous waiver of any other provision. 67.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION John Bulinski District Director Date District Budget Manager HQ Accounting RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION Anne Mayer Executive Director Date 60 AGENDA ITEM 9 Agenda Item 9 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: October 24, 2016 TO: Western Riverside County Programs and Projects Committee FROM: Brenda Ramirez, Management Analyst Sheldon Peterson, Rail Manager THROUGH: Robert Yates, Multimodal Services Director SUBJECT: Mobile Source Air Reduction Review Committee Transportation Control Measure Partnership Program STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Committee to: 1) Approve Agreement No. 17-25-016-00 with the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) for a grant from the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC) Transportation Control Measure Partnership Program in the amount of $1,909,241; 2) Approve Agreement No. 17-25-038-00 with the city of Riverside for the Rustin Avenue Sidewalk Improvement and Bike Lane project in the amount not to exceed $600,000; 3) Approve an amendment in the amount of $1,909,241 to the FY 2016/17 Commuter Rail Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP); 4) Approve an increase in revenues and expenditures of $1,909,241 in the FY 2016/17 budget related to the MSRC grant; 5) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute the agreements on behalf of the Commission; and 6) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On April 1, 2016, the Commission was awarded a MSRC Transportation Control Measure Partnership Program grant by the SCAQMD to address first mile/last mile mobility associated with Metrolink stations in Riverside County. The grant awarded the Commission $1,909,241 to implement strategies that are essential to improving mobility and making the commuter rail system expansion more successful in reducing emissions. The Commission will also use $690,759 of available Proposition 1B Public Transportation Modernization, Improvement , and Service Enhancement Account program funds as a local match to the MSRC grant. After the grant award, Commission staff began working with Parsons Brinkerhoff, one of three on-call rail consultants, to compile a work plan that will identify recommendations for improving mobility. The consultant will identify projects that will significantly improve the active 61 Agenda Item 9 transportation connection and access to all Metrolink stations by pedestrians and bicyclists. To address these mobility challenges, the project will review safe and effective bike storage, clear access paths at the stations, and nearby pedestrian and bicycle access at each Metrolink station. The work plan will incorporate all of the Commission’s nine Metrolink stations and provide recommendations and guidance to implement those projects with the remaining MSRC grant funds. During the development of the Riverside-Hunter Park/UCR Station, staff identified additional pedestrian improvements are needed on the adjacent street of Rustin Avenue to link the station to high density residential neighborhoods and create a safe bike path to UC Riverside. City of Riverside (Riverside) staff is supportive of this effort and agreed to enter into a cooperative agreement for the city to complete the work on its right of way in an amount not to exceed $600,000. This project was included in the grant application and supported by the MSRC. In addition, Riverside has a separate grant for a bike storage structure and bike sharing at the Riverside-Downtown Station, and Commission staff has commenced discussions with the city regarding implementation of this project at the station with the intent to enter into another cooperative agreement for these bike projects. For additional community projects, staff will be reaching out to other jurisdictions to ensure their approved pedestrian and bicycle path plans are incorporated into the Commission’s work plan and identify additional active transportation improvements. The grant award of $1,909,241 will be paid to the Commission as work is performed. An amendment to the FY 2016/17 Commuter Rail SRTP Table 4 in the amount of $1,909,241 is required as well as adjustments to the FY 2016/17 budget of $1,909,241 to increase revenues for the MSRC grant and expenditures.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Commission is actively promoting and partnering with various agencies to provide public transportation options to special events. Through the successful partnership with OCTA, the Commission has been able to provide Riverside County residents with the option of using the Angels Express Service, a commuter rail train operated by Metrolink, to attend selected Angels baseball games. The service, which is offered at $7 round trip, provides round-trip services to selected Friday home games at Angel Stadium via the Metrolink Inland Empire-Orange County Line. The popularity of this service has previously allowed OCTA to obtain Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee grant funding for the service. For the 2016 season, the grant was not available; therefore, the Commission and OCTA will have to pay Metrolink for the operating costs of the service. Ridership data collected has continued to show a year over year growth since the inception of the service. Ridership counts have indicated a 110 percent increase over last year’s ridership on those special round trips. Agreement No. 17-25-014-00 authorizes staff to continue cost sharing the operations of this service under the agreement terms, and the Commission agrees to reimburse OCTA up to $33,176 for the service provided during the 2016 season and in subsequent years subject to a 5 percent increase. 88 Agenda Item 10 Financial Information In Fiscal Year Budget: Yes Year: FY 2016/17 Amount: $33,176 Source of Funds: Local Transportation Fund funds Budget Adjustment: No GL/Project Accounting No.: 004014 86101 00000 0000 103 25 86101 Fiscal Procedures Approved: Date: 10/17/2016 Attachment: Draft OCTA Agreement No. 17-25-014-00 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 AGENDA ITEM 11 Agenda Item 11 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: October 24, 2016 TO: Western Riverside County Programs and Projects Committee FROM: Brenda Ramirez, Management Analyst Sheldon Peterson, Rail Manager THROUGH: Robert Yates, Multimodal Services Director SUBJECT: Transit Transfer and License Agreements STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Committee to: 1) Approve Agreement No. 17-25-015-00 with Omnitrans for reimbursement of transit transfers effective January 1, 2017, for an indefinite term cancelable by either party with a 30-day notice in an amount approximating $15,000 annually; 2) Approve Agreement No. 17-25-033-00 with Megabus Northeast LLC (Megabus) for use of the Commission’s Riverside Downtown rail station for a three-year term, with two two- year options to extend the agreement, in an estimated revenue amount of $117,245 for the full term of all the options; 3) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute the agreements, including option years, on behalf of the Commission; and 4) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In a continued effort to provide ease of multimodal connections at the Commission’s Riverside- Downtown Station, the Commission desires to enter into agreements with Omnitrans and Megabus. Both operators will provide vital connections to passengers and patrons using the Commissions station as a transportation network hub. The Commission currently has transfer agreements with local public transit providers such as Riverside Transit Agency, SunLine Transit Agency, and the city of Corona. The transfer agreements provide the Commission the ability to partner with Metrolink and provide reimbursements to the local transit providers for transferring passengers that present valid one- way, round-trip, seven day passes or monthly Metrolink passes. This facilitates free transfers for the passengers to and from a Metrolink station. The agreement with Omnitrans will be effective January 1, 2017, in time for the next Omnitrans schedule change with the initial route to be a direct connection between the Riverside-Downtown Station and the San Bernardino Depot. The anticipated annual cost for these transfers is projected at $15 ,000, and the term is open until 96 Agenda Item 11 either party requests to cancel the agreement with a 30-day notice. Adjustments to the rate and acceptable routes can be made through subsequent annual amendments. In addition to public transit providers using the Commission’s Riverside-Downtown Station, other providers such as Amtrak and Megabus require license agreements to use the Commission’s facilities. Megabus provides its customers a non-stop trip from the Commission’s Riverside- Downtown Station to Las Vegas, and the current agreement expires December 31, 2017. Beginning January 1, 2017, Agreement No. 17-25-033-00 sets a first-year $1,200 monthly rate of compensation payable to the Commission to offset maintenance and security costs at the station. The monthly rate will be increased by 5 percent annually. After the initial three-year term, with the agreement may be extended by two two-year options.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Minimum Fee for the entire Licensed Premises during each Renewal Term, if any, shall be equal to the amount of the Minimum Fee paid during the immediately preceding term, plus Five Percent (5.00%), calculated cumulatively. 107 17336.00603\7669938.2 5 (b) Adjustment to Minimum Fee. In the event MEGABUS shall desire to enter upon the Licensed Premises on more or less than eight (8) occasions per day during any given month during the Term hereof, and shall have received COMMISSION’s prior consent to such increased or decreased usage of the Licensed Premises, MEGABUS shall pay to COMMISSION an adjusted fee which shall be determined in accordance with the formula set forth on Schedule 5(b) attached hereto and shall be based on the number of occasions per day that MEGABUS intends to enter upon the Licensed Premises commencing on the first day of the first month immediately following the month in which MEGABUS requests and receives COMMISSION's consent to such increased or decreased usage ("Adjusted Minimum Fee"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments to the Minimum Fee shall at all times be subject to the prior approval of COMMISSION, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (c) No Right of Offset; No Reimbursement. MEGABUS has no right of offset or counterclaim for any of the amounts due COMMISSION under this Agreement. Furthermore, MEGABUS shall not be entitled to any reimbursement of or credit for amounts paid in advance to COMMISSION hereunder for rights of entrance upon the Licensed Premises which are not actually utilized by MEGABUS. (d) Late Charge. Any installment of the Minimum Fee or any Adjusted Minimum Fee not received within ten (10) days from the date when it is due shall be subject to a late charge of five percent (5%) of such installment. 6. Taxes. MEGABUS shall pay before they become delinquent any and all taxes that are lawfully due and payable by MEGABUS to any governmental body by reason of the operation of MEGABUS' business or use of the Licensed Premises or the Station. COMMISSION is exempt from the payment of real estate taxes for premises held for transportation purposes as set forth under California state law. COMMISSION and MEGABUS shall use their best efforts to preserve this exemption and to cooperate fully with each other in such regard. 7. [Reserved]. 8. Common Areas. (a) Common Areas. The term "Common Areas" shall mean the exterior areas and facilities within or upon the Station which are: (i) not leased to a tenant, or (ii) by nature not leasable to a tenant. Common Areas shall include but shall not be limited to all parking areas and facilities, roadways, driveways, entrances and exits sidewalks, located within or outside the Station property, COMMISSION for the common or joint use and benefit of all tenants in the Station, their employees, customers and invitees. COMMISSION grants to MEGABUS' customers a nonexclusive license to use the Common Areas in common with others during the Term, subject to the exclusive control and management thereof at all times by COMMISSION and subject, further, to all rights of COMMISSION as set forth herein. Nothing herein shall permit MEGABUS, its agents or employees to use the Common Areas without the prior consent of COMMISSION, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 108 17336.00603\7669938.2 6 (b) Management and Operation of Common Areas. COMMISSION will operate and maintain or will cause to be operated and maintained, the Common Areas, in a manner deemed by COMMISSION to be reasonable and appropriate and in the best interests of the Station. COMMISSION will have the right: (i) to establish, modify and enforce non-discriminatory rules and regulations with respect to the Common Areas; (ii) to enter into, modify and terminate easements and other agreements pertaining to the use and maintenance of the Common Areas and any portions thereof; (iii) to close all or any portion of the Common Areas to such extent as may, in the opinion of COMMISSION, be necessary to prevent a dedication thereof or the accrual of any rights to any person or to the public therein; (iv) to close temporarily any or all portions of the Common Areas; and (v) to do and perform such other acts in and to said areas and improvements as, in the exercise of good business judgment, COMMISSION shall determine to be advisable. 9. Maintenance and Repairs. COMMISSION shall maintain and keep the Station in good repair. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MEGABUS shall repair, at its sole expense, any damage to the Station including cleaning oil or fuel spills, the Licensed Premises, the buildings and/or any appurtenances thereto caused by MEGABUS, its employees, agents or invitees. MEGABUS shall not be entitled to any partial or total abatement of fees for periods during which repairs are required to be made, whether such repairs are the responsibility of COMMISSION or MEGABUS. 10. Access to the Licensed Premises. MEGABUS agrees that COMMISSION shall have such rights to enter upon the Licensed Premises, including rights of ingress and egress, as shall be necessary or desirable to enable COMMISSION to exercise its powers, rights, duties and obligations as are set forth in this Agreement or as COMMISSION may otherwise deem appropriate. A coordinated plan will be developed to identify the available bus loading areas for this service. COMMISSION shall further have the right to enter and grant licensees the right to enter the Licensed Premises for any purpose which COMMISSION may deem necessary or desirable, including, without limitation, to make structural repairs to the Station or the Licensed Premises or any other repairs for which COMMISSION is responsible, or for exhibiting the Licensed Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees, governmental representatives or tenants, and to inspect the Licensed Premises to determine whether MEGABUS' use of the Licensed Premises is in conformance with MEGABUS' covenants. This right of inspection shall include but not be limited to the right, on reasonable notice and during normal hours of operation, to conduct interviews of MEGABUS' personnel, if any. 11. Alterations. MEGABUS shall have no right or authority to and shall make no alterations, additions or improvements in or to the Licensed Premises. 109 17336.00603\7669938.2 7 12. Indemnification and Defense. (a) Indemnification. MEGABUS hereby agrees to indemnify, assume all liability for and hold harmless the COMMISSION and its officers, employees, agents and representatives, to the maximum extent allowed by law, from all actions, claims, suits, penalties, obligations, liabilities, damages to property, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, any fines, penalties, judgments, actual litigation expenses and experts’ and actual attorneys’ fees), environmental claims or bodily and/or personal injuries or death to any persons, arising out of or in any way connected to MEGABUS’ entry onto t he Station or the Licensed Premises or the acts or omissions of MEGABUS in connection with or arising from the performance of MEGABUS’ activities pursuant to this Agreement or arising out of or in connection with such activities, whether the foregoing is by MEGABUS or anyone directly or indirectly employed or under contract with MEGABUS or acting on behalf of MEGABUS, and whether such damage or claim shall accrue or be discovered before or after the termination of this Agreement. The indemnity shall apply except in the case of the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the COMMISSION, its officers, employees, agents or representatives, and is in addition to any other rights or remedies under the law or under this Agreement. (b) Defense. Upon written notice from COMMISSION, MEGABUS agrees to assume the defense of any lawsuit, administrative action or other proceeding brought against COMMISSION, its officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers by any public body, individual, partnership, corporation, or other legal entity, relating to any matter covered by this Agreement for which MEGABUS has an obligation to assume liability for and/or to indemnify or save and hold harmless the COMMISSION, its officers, employees, agents and representatives. MEGABUS shall pay all the costs incident to such defense, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, investigators’ fees, litigation expenses, settlement payments, and amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments. Any and all lawsuits or administrative actions brought or threatened on any theory of relief available at law, in equity or under the rules of any administrative agency shall be covered by this Section, including, but not limited to, the theories of intentional misconduct, negligence, breach of statute or ordinance, or upon any theory created by statute or ordinance, state or federal. The indemnity and other rights afforded to the COMMISSION by this Section shall survive the revocation or termination of this Agreement. 13. Insurance. (a) At all times throughout the term of this Agreement, MEGABUS and its subcontractors shall maintain and comply with the terms of insurance set forth on Exhibit “B” attached hereto and made a part hereof (the "Insurance Requirements"). (b) MEGABUS hereby waives any and every claim for recovery from COMMISSION for any and all loss of or damage to any vehicle owned, used or maintained by MEGABUS or those in privity with MEGABUS (unless such loss or damage is shown to have been caused by COMMISSION). MEGABUS further waives any claim for recovery from COMMISSION for any and all loss of or damage to the Licensed Premises or to the contents 110 17336.00603\7669938.2 8 thereof, which loss or damage is covered by valid and collectible physical damage insurance policies, to the extent that such loss or damage is recoverable under said insurance policies. Inasmuch as this waiver will preclude the assignment of any such claim or subrogation or otherwise, MEGABUS agrees to give to each insurance company which has issued, or in the future may issue, to its policies of physical damage insurance, written notice of the terms of this waiver, and to have said insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of said insurance coverage by reason of said waiver. MEGABUS shall require each sublessee or assignee to include similar waivers of subrogation in favor of COMMISSION in the subleases or assignments entered into with such sublessees or assignees. 14. Fire or Other Casualty. In the event that the Licensed Premises are rendered wholly inaccessible and unuseable due to fire or other casualty, COMMISSION shall be entitled to the proceeds of all applicable insurance maintained by COMMISSION and may, at its option: (a) Terminate this Agreement by giving MEGABUS written notice thereof within thirty (30) days from the date of said damage or destruction; or (b) Repair or replace the Licensed Premises to substantially the same condition as prior to the damage or destruction to the extent said insurance proceeds therefor are available to COMMISSION. If the Licensed Premises shall be damaged in part by fire or other casualty, but still remains partially accessible and useable, COMMISSION shall, unless it determines in its sole discretion that to do so in not in the best interests of the COMMISSION, repair the Licensed Premises to substantially the same condition as prior to the damage to the extent of the proceeds of insurance available to COMMISSION. During the period of such repairs and restorations, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without abatement of fees. 15. Eminent Domain. In the event that all or any portion of the Licensed Premises shall be taken by any governmental authority under the exercise of its right of eminent domain or similar right (or by act in lieu thereof), all right, title and interest in and to any award granted (or sums paid in lieu thereof) shall belong entirely to COMMISSION, and MEGABUS hereby assigns to COMMISSION all of its interest, title or claim, if any, in and to such award (or sums paid in lieu thereof), including, but not limited to, any part of such award attributable to MEGABUS' interest in the Licensed Premises, if any. In the event of a partial taking, fees shall not be reduced or otherwise abated, provided, however, that COMMISSION shall make commercially reasonable efforts to provide alternative space upon which MEGABUS may conduct the activities contemplated hereunder. In the event of a material or total taking, in COMMISSION's sole opinion, COMMISSION retains the right to terminate this Agreement. In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, MEGABUS shall not have any claim against COMMISSION for the balance of the unexpired term of this Agreement. 16. Default and Remedies. (a) Any one or more of the following events shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder: 111 17336.00603\7669938.2 9 (i). If MEGABUS fails to pay any installment of minimum fees or adjusted fees within ten (10) days after it is due; (ii). If MEGABUS fails to remedy a default by it with respect to any of the other covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein or in any rider, exhibit, or other addendum hereto, within ten (10) days after notice thereof; provided, however, that in the event of a default which does not involve the payment of money and which cannot reasonably be cured within ten (10) days, MEGABUS shall not be in default of this Agreement if MEGABUS: (A) gives written notice to COMMISSION within ten (10) days after the aforesaid notice of default of MEGABUS' intent to cure; (B) within said ten (10) day period, delivers evidence to COMMISSION of the commencement of the cure; (C) diligently and in good faith uses best efforts to continue said cure; and (D) completes said cure expeditiously; (iii) Unless beyond the control of MEGABUS, if MEGABUS ceases its entry upon and use of the Licensed Premises for a period of five (5) consecutive days or otherwise ceases to conduct its business therein; or (iv) If MEGABUS shall: (A) apply for or consent to the appointment of or the taking of possession by a receiver, liquidator, custodian or trustee of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property; (B) admit in writing its inability or be generally unable to pay its debts as such debts become due; (C) make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (D) commence a voluntary case under the Federal Bankruptcy Code (as now or hereafter in effect); (E) file a petition seeking to take advantage of any other law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, winding up, or composition or adjustment of debts; (F) fail to controvert in a timely or appropriate manner, or acquiesce in writing to, a petition filed against itself in an involuntary case under such Bankruptcy Code; or 112 17336.00603\7669938.2 10 (v) If a proceeding or case shall be commenced without the application or consent of MEGABUS in any court of competent jurisdiction seeking (A) liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding up or composition or adjustment of debts; (B) the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or the like of MEGABUS or of all or any substantial part of its assets; or (C) similar relief under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, winding up, or composition or adjustment of debts, and MEGABUS fails to controvert such action or proceeding in a timely and appropriate manner, or an order, judgment or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall be entered and continued unstayed and in effect for a period of thirty (30) days; or any order for relief against MEGABUS shall be entered in an involuntary case under such Bankruptcy Code; and (vi) Any representation or warranty made by MEGABUS herein, or in any report, certificate, financial statement or other instrument furnished pursuant hereto or any of the foregoing shall prove to be false, misleading or incorrect in any material respect as of the date made. (b) If an Event of Default shall occur, COMMISSION may, in addition to any other right or rights which COMMISSION may have, serve a written five (5) days ' notice of cancellation of this Agreement upon MEGABUS and upon the expiration of said five (5) days, this Agreement and the term hereunder shall end and expire as fully and completely as if the date of expiration of such five (5) day period were the day herein definitely fixed for the end and expiration of this Agreement and the term thereof, and MEGABUS shall then quit and surrender the Licensed Premises to COMMISSION and shall otherwise cease its use and entry upon the Licensed Premises, but MEGABUS shall remain liable as hereinafter provided. If the five (5) day notice of cancellation shall have been given and the term shall expire as aforesaid, or if any execution or attachment shall be issued against MEGABUS or any of MEGABUS' property whereupon the Licensed Premises shall be taken or occupied by someone other than MEGABUS, then and in either of such events, COMMISSION may, without notice, re-enter the Licensed Premises and terminate MEGABUS' and the legal representative of MEGABUS' or any other users' of the Licensed Premises entry upon and use thereof by summary proceedings or otherwise and remove their effects, if any should be located thereon, and hold the Licensed Premises as if this Agreement had not been made, but MEGABUS shall remain liable hereunder as hereinafter provided. COMMISSION reserves the right to store MEGABUS' effects at MEGABUS' expense. (c) In case of any such default, re-entry, expiration and/or termination by summary proceedings or otherwise (i). All Minimum Fees, Adjusted Minimum Fees, and other sums then to be paid by MEGABUS pursuant to this Agreement shall immediately become due thereupon and be paid up to the time of such re-entry, termination and/or expiration, together with such reasonable expenses as COMMISSION may incur for legal expenses, attorneys' fees, brokerage, 113 17336.00603\7669938.2 11 and/or putting the Licensed Premises in good order; (ii). COMMISSION may re-license use of the Licensed Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of COMMISSION or otherwise, for a term or terms, which may at COMMISSION's option be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Agreement and may grant concessions or free fees; and/or (iii). MEGABUS or the legal representatives of MEGABUS shall also pay COMMISSION as liquidated damages for the failure of MEGABUS to observe and perform MEGABUS' covenants herein contained any deficiency between the fees and other sums hereby reserved and/or covenanted to be paid and the net amount, if any, of the fees collected on account of the licensing of the Licensed Premises for each month of the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Agreement. In computing such damages, there shall be added to the said deficiency such reasonable expenses as COMMISSION may incur in connection with re-licensing, such as legal expenses, attorneys' fees, and for keeping the Licensed Premises in good order. COMMISSION, at COMMISSION's option, may make such alterations, repairs and replacements as are reasonably necessary or desirable for the purpose of re-licensing the Licensed Premises; and the making of such alterations shall not operate or be construed to release MEGABUS from liability hereunder as aforesaid. To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither the failure or refusal of COMMISSION to re-license the Licensed Premises or any part or parts thereof nor, in the event that the Licensed Premises are re-licensed, the failure of COMMISSION to collect the fees under such re-licensing, shall release or affect MEGABUS' liability for damages, and COMMISSION shall not in any way be liable for same, but, if COMMISSION fails to collect such fees, MEGABUS is hereby authorized to collect the same and apply the same to any indebtedness owing to COMMISSION. Any such damages shall be paid in monthly installments by MEGABUS on the days specified in this Agreement and any suit brought to collect the amount of the deficiency for any month or months shall not prejudice in any way the rights of COMMISSION to collect the deficiency for any subsequent month or months by a similar proceeding. Any such action may be an action for the full amounts of all fees then due or to be due to, and all damages then suffered or to be suffered by COMMISSION. Mention in this Agreement of any particular remedy shall not preclude COMMISSION from resorting to any other remedy, in law or in equity. The foregoing remedies and rights of COMMISSION are cumulative. 17. Failure to Insist on Strict Performance. The failure of COMMISSION to insist, in any one or more instances, upon a strict performance of any covenant, term, provision or agreement of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment thereof, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect, notwithstanding any law, usage or custom to the contrary. The receipt by COMMISSION of fees with knowledge of the breach of any covenant or agreement hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver of the rights of COMMISSION with respect to such breach, and no waiver by COMMISSION of any provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by COMMISSION. 18. Surrender of Licensed Premises. (a) MEGABUS shall, upon the termination of this Agreement, by lapse of time or otherwise, cease its entry upon and use of the Licensed Premises and shall return the Licensed 114 17336.00603\7669938.2 12 Premises to COMMISSION in as good condition as it was on the Commencement Date, loss by fire or other unavoidable casualty and reasonable wear and tear excepted. It is understood and agreed that the exception made as to "loss by fire or other unavoidable casualty" does not include damages, fires or casualties caused or contributed to by the act or neglect of MEGABUS, its servants, agents, employees, invitees or licensees and not compensated for by insurance. (b) Except for cessation upon the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Agreement, no cessation of MEGABUS' entry upon and use of the Licensed Premises shall be valid or effective unless agreed to and accepted in writing by COMMISSION. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. 19. Holding Over. Should MEGABUS fail to cease its entry upon and use of or to otherwise vacate the Licensed Premises at the termination, expiration or cancellation hereof, such holding over shall operate and be construed to be a license from month to month only, unless otherwise agreed in writing, subject to the conditions and provisions of this Agreement and at minimum fees equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of that paid by MEGABUS under this Agreement for the period just ended. No such holding over or payment or acceptance of fees resulting therefrom shall constitute or be deemed reconfirmation or renewal of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as consent by COMMISSION to the entry upon and use of the Licensed Premises after the expiration, cancellation or termination of this Agreement. 20. Expenses and Attorneys' Fees. In the event of litigation between the parties hereto, the losing party shall pay to the other all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and all other expenses which may be incurred by such party. 21. Obligations of MEGABUS. If MEGABUS fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, COMMISSION may, after three (3) days' notice to MEGABUS of its intention to do so (but COMMISSION shall not be obligated to) perform same, and in such event, MEGABUS shall reimburse COMMISSION for the cost thereof and said reimbursement shall be due and payable upon demand by COMMISSION and shall bear interest at a rate which is the sum of eighteen percent (18%), except that if such rate exceeds the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable statutes, the interest rate will be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by law. 22. Assignment. (a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, neither MEGABUS, nor MEGABUS' legal representatives or successors-in-interest by operation of law or otherwise, shall assign this Agreement or permit the Licensed Premises or any part thereof to be used by others without the prior written consent of COMMISSION, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any consent by COMMISSION to any act of assignment shall be held to apply only to the specific transaction thereby authorized and MEGABUS agrees to remain fully liable under the Agreement even subsequent to such assignment. Such consent shall not be construed as a waiver of the duty of MEGABUS or the legal representatives or assigns of MEGABUS, to obtain from COMMISSION consent to any other or subsequent assignment, or as modifying or limiting the rights of COMMISSION under the foregoing covenant by MEGABUS not to assign without such consent. Any violation of any provision of this Agreement, whether by act or omi ssion, by any 115 17336.00603\7669938.2 13 assignee or occupant, shall be deemed a violation of such provision by MEGABUS, it being the intention and meaning of the parties hereto that MEGABUS shall assume and be liable to COMMISSION for any and all acts and omissions of any and all assignees. If this Agreement shall been assigned, COMMISSION may, and is hereby empowered to, collect fees from the assignee. In such event, COMMISSION may apply the net amount received by it to the fees herein reserved, and no such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the covenant herein against assignment, or the acceptance of the assignee, undertenant or occupant as licensee, or a release of MEGABUS from the further performance of the covenants herein contained on the part of MEGABUS. The term "assign", as used herein, shall include but not be limited to: 1. An assignment of a part interest in this Agreement, as well as any assignment from one co-licensee to another; and 2. An assignment, or conveyance, whether by operation of law or otherwise of any principal of MEGABUS' interest herein. It also includes any transfer of ownership or control of MEGABUS whether voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise. 23. Federal, State, County and Local Law. MEGABUS shall comply at its own cost and expense with all federal, state, county and local laws, ordinances, rules or regulations now or hereinafter in force which may be applicable to MEGABUS' entry upon and use of the Licensed Premises, including obtaining and paying for all licenses and permits necessary for t he operation thereon and payment of all fees and charges assessed insofar as they are applicable thereto. 24. Environmental Matters. (a) Compliance with Environmental Laws. MEGABUS covenants that the Licensed Premises shall be kept free of Hazardous Materials, and neither MEGABUS, nor any occupant of the Licensed Premises, shall use, transport, store, dispose of or in any manner deal with Hazardous Materials on the Licensed Premises, except in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. MEGABUS shall comply and ensure compliance by all occupants of the Licensed Premises, with all applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, and shall keep the Licensed Premises free and clear of any liens imposed pursuant to such laws, ordinances, rules or regulations as a direct result of any action or inaction on the part of MEGABUS. In the event that MEGABUS receives any notice or advice from any governmental agency or any source whatsoever with respect to Hazardous Materials on, from or accepting the Licensed Premises, MEGABUS shall immediately notify COMMISSION. MEGABUS shall conduct and complete all investigations, studies, sampling and testing, and all remedial actions necessary to clean up and remove all Hazardous Materials from the Licensed Premises placed there as a direct result of any action or inaction on the part of MEGABUS in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. The term "Hazardous Materials", as used in this Agreement, shall include, without limitation, petroleum and petroleum products and derivatives, asbestos, radon, polychlorinated biphenyls ("PCBs"), urea formaldehyde foam insulation, explosives, radioactive mat erials, laboratory waste and medical waste (including, without limitation, contaminated clothing, body fluids, contaminated medical instruments and equipment, catheters, used bandages, gauze, needles and 116 17336.00603\7669938.2 14 other sharps), and any chemicals, materials or substances designed or regulated as hazardous or as toxic substances, materials or waste under any environmental law. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, MEGABUS shall have no liability under this Section 24 for contamination shown to have been present prior to the date hereof. (b) Notices. MEGABUS shall immediately notify COMMISSION in writing of: (i). Any enforcement, clean-up, removal or other governmental or regulatory action instituted, completed or threatened pursuant to any Hazardous Materials laws; (ii). Any claim made or threatened by any person against MEGABUS or the Licensed Premises relating to damage, contribution, cost, recovery, compensation, loss or injury resulting from or claimed to result from any Hazardous Materials actually handled by MEGABUS; (iii). Any reports made to any environmental agency arising out of or in connection with any Hazardous Materials actually handled by MEGABUS on the Licensed Premises; and (iv). Any reports made to any environmental agency arising out of or in connection with any Hazardous Materials actually handled by MEGABUS in, on or removed from the Licensed Premises, including any complaints, notices, warnings, reports or asserted violations in connection therewith. MEGABUS shall also supply to COMMISSION as promptly as possible, and in any event within five (5) business days after MEGABUS first received or sends the same, copies of all claims, reports, complaints, notices, warnings, or asserted violations relating in any way to Hazardous Materials actually handled by MEGABUS on the Licensed Premises, or MEGABUS' use thereof. MEGABUS shall promptly deliver to COMMISSION copies of hazardous waste manifests reflecting the legal and proper disposal of all Hazardous Materials removed from the Licensed Premises by MEGABUS. The obligations and liabilities of MEGABUS under this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. 25. Assumption of Risk and Waiver. To the maximum extent allowed by law, MEGABUS releases COMMISSION from and assumes any and all risk of loss, damage or injury of any kind to any person or property, including without limitation, the Station, the Licensed Premises, COMMISSION's property and any other property of, or under the control or custody of MEGABUS, which is on or near the Station or the Licensed Premises. MEGABUS’ assumption of risk shall include, without limitation, loss or damage caused by defects in any structure or improvement on the Station or the Licensed Premises, accident or fire or other casualty on the Station or the Licensed Premises, or electrical discharge and noise or vibration resulting from the transit operations on or near the Station or the Licensed Premises. The term "COMMISSION" as used in this Section shall include any other persons or companies employed, retained or engaged by COMMISSION. MEGABUS, on behalf of itself and its Personnel, as a material part of the consideration for this Agreement, hereby waives all claims and demands against the COMMISSION for any such loss, damage or injury of MEGABUS and/or its Personnel. In that connection, MEGABUS waives, for itself and its Personnel, the benefit of California Civil Code 117 17336.00603\7669938.2 15 Section 1542, which provides as follows: A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor. _______ MEGABUS Initials The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement. As used in this Section, "Personnel" means the MEGABUS, or its officers, directors, affiliates, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by MEGABUS or for whose acts MEGABUS is liable. 26.

(g) This Agreement may be simultaneously executed in several counterparts, 118 17336.00603\7669938.2 16 each of which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument. (h) The section and other headings in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of any provision hereof.
