and more particularly described in the legal description attached as Exhibit "A" and depicted on
the site map attached hereto as Exhibit "B" ("Pro e "). Developer has an equitable interest in
the Property by way of the Contribution Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions ("Contribution

implementation of the local general plan, provide certainty in the approval of projects in order to
avoid waste of time and resources, and reduce the economic costs of development by providing
assurance to property owners that they may proceed with projects consistent with existing land
use policies, rules, and regulations, the California Legislature adopted California Government
Code Sections 65864-65869.5 (the "Development Agreement Statute") authorizing cities and
counties to enter into development agreements with persons or entities having a legal or equitable
interest in real property located within their jurisdiction.
C. On March 13, 2007, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2007-6, entitled

Mixed Use Horizontal 2 ("MU-112") which provides for a horizontal intermixing of uses that may
include regional commercial office, multifamily residential, vertical mixed -use buildings,
industrial, hotel rooms, and ancillary neighborhood commercial uses and the Newport Place
Planned Community that was adopted in 1970 by Ordinance No. 1369, and amended from time to
time, in order to establish appropriate zoning to regulate land use and development of property
within the general boundaries of the Newport Place Planned Community.
G. In recognition of the significant public benefits that this Agreement provides, the
City Council finds that this Agreement: (i) is consistent with the City of Newport Beach General
Plan as of the date of this Agreement; (ii) is in the best interests of the health, safety, and general
welfare of City, its residents, and the public; (iii) is entered into pursuant to, and constitutes a

Code Section 65867 and City of Newport Beach Municipal Code chapter 15.45.

and Public Safety Fee (Section 3.2.3) assessed herein are predicated on the Project being developed

approval of minor amendments to existing tentative tract maps, tentative parcel maps, or associated
conditions of approval, consistent with City of Newport Beach Municipal Code Section 19.12.090.
This Agreement does not constitute a promise or commitment by City to approve any such permit
or approval, or to approve the same with or without any particular requirements or conditions, and
City's discretion with respect to such matters shall be the same as it would be in the absence of
this Agreement.
4.2 No Conflicting Enactments.
Except to the extent City reserves its discretion as expressly set forth in this Agreement,
during the Term of this Agreement City shall not apply to the Project or the Property any ordinance,
policy, rule, regulation, or other measure relating to Development of the Project that is enacted or
becomes effective after the Agreement Date to the extent it conflicts with this Agreement. This
Section 4.2 shall not restrict City's ability to enact an ordinance, policy, rule, regulation, or other
measure applicable to the Project pursuant to California Government Code Section 65866
consistent with the procedures specified in Section 4.3 of this Agreement. In Pardee Construction
Co. v. City of Camarillo (1984) 37 Cal.3d 465, the California Supreme Court held that a
construction company was not exempt from a city's growth control ordinance even though the city
10
and construction company had entered into a consent judgment (tantamount to a contract under
California law) establishing the company's vested rights to develop its property consistent with
the zoning. The California Supreme Court reached this result because the consent judgment failed
to address the timing of development. The Parties intend to avoid the result of the Pardee case by
acknowledging and providing in this Agreement that Property Owner and Developer shall have
the vested right to Develop the Project on and with respect to the Property at the rate, timing, and
sequencing that Property Owner and Developer deem appropriate within the exercise of Property
Owner and Developer's sole subjective business judgment, provided that such Development
occurs in accordance with this Agreement and the Development Regulations, notwithstanding
adoption by City's electorate of an initiative to the contrary after the Agreement Date. No City
moratorium or other similar limitation relating to the rate, timing, or sequencing of the
Development of all or any part of the Project and whether enacted by initiative or another method,
affecting subdivision maps, building permits, occupancy certificates, or other entitlement to use,
shall apply to the Project to the extent such moratorium or other similar limitation restricts Property
Owner and Developer's vested rights in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the express
provisions of this Agreement.
4.3 Reservations of Authori
Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, the laws,
rules, regulations, and official policies set forth in this Section 4.3 shall apply to and govern the
Development of the Project on and with respect to the Property.
4.3.1 Procedural Regulations. Procedural regulations relating to hearing bodies,
petitions, applications, notices, findings, records, hearings, reports, recommendations, appeals, and
any other matter of procedure shall apply to the Property, provided that such procedural regulations
are adopted and applied City-wide or to all other properties similarly situated in City.
4.3.2 Processing and Permit Fees. City shall have the right to charge and Property
Owner and Developer shall be required to pay all applicable processing and permit fees to cover
the reasonable cost to City of processing and reviewing applications and plans for any required
Subsequent Development Approvals, building permits, excavation and grading permits,
encroachment permits, and the like, for performing necessary studies and reports in connection
therewith, inspecting the work constructed or installed by or on behalf of Property Owner and
Developer, and monitoring compliance with any requirements applicable to Development of the
Project, all at the rates in effect at the time fees are due.
4.3.3 Consistent Future City Regulations. City ordinances, resolutions,
regulations, and official policies governing Development which do not conflict with the
Development Regulations, or with respect to such regulations that do conflict, where Property
Owner and Developer have consented in writing to the regulations, shall apply to the Property.
4.3.4 Development Exactions Applicable to Property. During the Term of this
Agreement, Property Owner and Developer shall be required to satisfy and pay all Development
Exactions at the time performance or payment is due to the same extent and in the same amount(s)
that would apply to Property Owner, Developer and the Project in the absence of this Agreement;
provided, however, that to the extent the scope and extent of a particular Development Exaction
(excluding any development impact fee) for the Project has been established and fixed by City in
11
the conditions of approval for any of the Development Regulations approved on or before the
Agreement Date, City shall not alter, increase, or modify said Development Exaction in a manner
that is inconsistent with such Development Regulations without Property Owner and Developer's
prior written consent or as may be otherwise required pursuant to overriding federal or state laws
or regulations (Section 4.3.5 hereinbelow). In addition, nothing in this Agreement is intended or
shall be deemed to vest Property Owner and/or Developer against the obligation to pay any of the
following (which are not included within the definition of "Development Exactions") in the full
amount that would apply in the absence of this Agreement: (i) City's normal fees for processing,
environmental assessment and review, tentative tract and parcel map review, plan checking, site
review and approval, administrative review, building permit, grading permit, inspection, and
similar fees imposed to recover City's costs associated with processing, reviewing, and inspecting
project applications, plans, and specifications; (ii) fees and charges levied by any other public
agency, utility, district, or joint powers authority, regardless of whether City collects those fees
and charges; or (iii) community facility district special taxes or special district assessments or
similar assessments, business license fees, bonds or other security required for public
improvements, transient occupancy taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, sewer lateral connection
fees, water service connection fees, new water meter fees, and the Property Development Tax
payable under Chapter 3.12 of City's Municipal Code.
4.3.5 Overriding Federal and State Laws and Regulations. Federal and state laws
and regulations that override Property Owner and/or Developer's vested rights set forth in this
Agreement shall apply to the Property, together with any City ordinances, resolutions, regulations,
and official policies that are necessary to enable City to comply with the provisions of any such
overriding federal or state laws and regulations, provided that (i) Property Owner and Developer
do not waive its right to challenge or contest the validity of any such purportedly overriding
federal, state, or City law or regulation; and (ii) upon the discovery of any such overriding federal,
state, or City law or regulation that prevents or precludes compliance with any provision of this
Agreement, City, Property Owner or Developer shall provide to all Parties a written notice
identifying the federal, state, or City law or regulation, together with a copy of the law or regulation
and a brief written statement of the conflict(s) between that law or regulation and the provisions
of this Agreement. Promptly thereafter City, Property Owner, and Developer shall meet and confer
in good faith in a reasonable attempt to determine whether a modification or suspension of this
Agreement, in whole or in part, is necessary to comply with such overriding federal, state, or City
law or regulation. In such negotiations, City, Property Owner, and Developer agree to preserve
the terms of this Agreement and the rights of Property Owner and Developer as derived from this
Agreement to the maximum feasible extent while resolving the conflict. City agrees to cooperate
with Property Owner and Developer at no cost to City in resolving the conflict in a manner which
minimizes any financial impact of the conflict upon Property Owner and/or Developer. City also
agrees to process in a prompt manner Property Owner and/or Developer's proposed changes to the
Project and any of the Development Regulations as may be necessary to comply with such
overriding federal, state, or City law or regulation; provided, however, that the approval of such
changes by City shall be subject to the discretion of City, consistent with this Agreement.
4.3.6 Public Health and Safety. Any City ordinance, resolution, rule, regulation,
program, or official policy that is necessary to protect persons on the Property or in the immediate
vicinity from conditions dangerous to their health or safety, as reasonably determined by City,
shall apply to the Property, even though the application of the ordinance, resolution, rule
12
regulation, program, or official policy would result in the impairment of Property Owner and
Developer's vested rights under this Agreement.
4.3.7 Uniform Building Standards. Existing and future building and building -
related standards set forth in the uniform codes adopted and amended by City from time to time,
including building, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, housing, swimming pool, and fire codes, and
any modifications and amendments thereof shall all apply to the Project and the Property to the
same extent that the same would apply in the absence of this Agreement.
4.3.8 Public Works Improvements. To the extent Property Owner and/or
Developer construct(s) or install(s) any public improvements, works, or facilities, the City
standards in effect for such public improvements, works, or facilities at the time of City's issuance
of a permit, license, or other authorization for construction or installation of same shall apply.
4.3.9 No Guarantee or Reservation of Utility Capacity. Notwithstanding any
other provision set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement is intended
or shall be interpreted to require City to guarantee or reserve to or for the benefit of Property
Owner, Developer or the Property any utility capacity, service, or facilities that may be needed to
serve the Project, whether domestic or reclaimed water service, sanitary sewer transmission or
wastewater treatment capacity, downstream drainage capacity, or otherwise, and City shall have
the right to limit or restrict Development of the Project if and to the extent that City reasonably
determines that inadequate utility capacity exists to adequately serve the Project at the time
Development is scheduled to commence.
5. Amendment or Cancellation of Agreement. This Agreement may be amended or canceled
in whole or in part only by mutual written and executed consent of the Parties in compliance with
California Government Code Section 65868 and Newport Beach Municipal Code Section
15.45.070 or by unilateral termination by City in the event of an uncured default of Property Owner
and/or Developer.
6. Enforcement. Unless this Agreement is amended, canceled, modified, or suspended as
authorized herein or pursuant to California Government Code Section 65869.5, this Agreement
shall be enforceable by any of the Parties despite any change in any applicable general or specific
plan, zoning, subdivision, or building regulation or other applicable ordinance or regulation
adopted by City (including by City's electorate) that purports to apply to any or all of the Property.
7. Annual Review of Pronertv Owner and Developer's Compliance With Aareement.
7.1 General.
City shall review this Agreement once during every twelve (12) month period following
the Effective Date for compliance with the terms of this Agreement as provided in Government
Code Section 65865.1. Property Owner and Developer (including any successor to the Property
Owner and Developer executing this Agreement on or before the Agreement Date) shall pay City
a reasonable fee in an amount City may reasonably establish from time to time to cover the actual
and necessary costs for the annual review. City's failure to timely provide or conduct an annual
review shall not constitute a Default hereunder by City.
13
7.2 Property Owner and Developer's Obliization to Demonstrate Good Faith Compliance.
During each annual review by City, Property Owner and Developer are required to
demonstrate good faith compliance with the terms of the Agreement. Property Owner and
Developer agree to furnish such evidence of good faith compliance as City, in the reasonable
exercise of its discretion, may require, thirty (30) days prior to each anniversary of the Effective
Date during the Term.
7.3 Procedure. The Zoning Administrator shall conduct a duly noticed hearing and shall
determine, on the basis of substantial evidence, whether or not Property Owner or Developer has,
for the period under review, complied with the terms of this Agreement. If the Zoning
Administrator finds that Property Owner and Developer have so complied, the annual review shall
be concluded. If the Zoning Administrator finds, on the basis of substantial evidence, that Property
Owner and Developer have not so complied, written notice shall be sent to Property Owner and
Developer by first class mail of the Zoning Administrator's finding of non-compliance, and
Property Owner and Developer shall be given at least ten (10) calendar days to cure any
noncompliance that relates to the payment of money and thirty (30) calendar days to cure any other
type of noncompliance. If a cure not relating to the payment of money cannot be completed within
thirty (30) calendar days for reasons which are beyond the control of Property Owner and
Developer, Property Owner and Developer must commence the cure within such thirty (30)
calendar days and diligently pursue such cure to completion. If Property Owner and Developer
fails to cure such noncompliance within the time(s) set forth above, such failure shall be considered
to be a Default and City shall be entitled to exercise the remedies set forth in Article 8 below.
7.4 Annual Review a Non -Exclusive Means for Determining and Requiring Cure of Property
Owner and/or Developer's Default.
The annual review procedures set forth in this Article 7 shall not be the exclusive means
for City to identify a Default by Property Owner and/or Developer or limit City's rights or remedies
for any such Default.
8. Events of Default.
8.1 General Provisions. In the event of any material default, breach, or violation of the terms
of this Agreement ("Default"), the Parry alleging a Default shall deliver a written notice (each, a
"Notice of Default") to the defaulting Party. The Notice of Default shall specify the nature of the
alleged Default and a reasonable manner and sufficient period of time (ten (10) calendar days if
the Default relates to the failure to timely make a monetary payment due hereunder and not less
than thirty (30) calendar days in the event of non -monetary Defaults) in which the Default must
be cured ("Cure Period"). During the Cure Period, the Party charged shall not be considered in
Default for the purposes of termination of this Agreement or institution of legal proceedings. If
the alleged Default is cured within the Cure Period, then the Default thereafter shall be deemed
not to exist. If a non -monetary Default cannot be cured during the Cure Period with the exercise
of commercially reasonable diligence, the defaulting Party must promptly commence to cure as
quickly as possible, and in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days after it receives the Notice
of Default, and thereafter diligently pursue said cure to completion. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the City is not required to give Property Owner or Developer notice of default and may
14
immediately pursue remedies for a Property Owner or Developer Default that result in an
immediate threat to public health, safety or welfare.
8.2 Default by Property Owner or Developer.
If Property Owner or Developer is alleged to have committed a non -monetary Default and it
disputes the claimed Default, it may make a written request for an appeal hearing before the City
Council within ten (10) days of receiving the Notice of Default, and a public hearing shall be
scheduled at the next available City Council meeting to consider Property Owner or Developer's
appeal of the Notice of Default. Failure to appeal a Notice of Default to the City Council within
the ten (10) day period shall waive any right to a hearing on the claimed Default. If Property
Owner or Developer's appeal of the Notice of Default is timely and in good faith but after a public
hearing of Property Owner or Developer's appeal the City Council concludes that Property Owner
or Developer is in Default as alleged in the Notice of Default, the accrual date for commencement
of the thirty (30) day Cure Period provided in Section 8.1 shall be extended until the City Council's
denial of Property Owner or Developer's appeal is communicated to Property Owner or Developer
in writing.
8.3 City's Option to Terminate Agreement.
In the event of an alleged Property Owner or Developer Default, City may not terminate
this Agreement without first delivering a written Notice of Default and providing Property Owner
and Developer with the opportunity to cure the Default within the Cure Period, as provided in
Section 8.1, and complying with Section 8.2 if Property Owner or Developer timely appeals any
Notice of Default. A termination of this Agreement by City shall be valid only if good cause exists
and is supported by evidence presented to the City Council at or in connection with a duly noticed
public hearing to establish the existence of a Default. The validity of any termination may be
judicially challenged by Property Owner or Developer. Any such judicial challenge must be
brought within thirty (30) days of service on Property Owner, or Developer by first class mail,
postage prepaid, of written notice of termination by City or a written notice of City's determination
of an appeal of the Notice of Default as provided in Section 8.2.
8.4 Default by City.
If Property Owner or Developer alleges a City Default and alleges that the City has not
cured the Default within the Cure Period, Property Owner or Developer may pursue any equitable
remedy available to it under this Agreement, including, without limitation, an action for a writ of
mandamus, injunctive relief, or specific performance of City's obligations set forth in this
Agreement. Upon a City Default, any resulting delays in Property Owner or Developer's
performance hereunder shall neither be a Property Owner or Developer Default nor constitute
grounds for termination or cancellation of this Agreement by City and shall, at Property Owner or
Developer's option (and provided Property Owner or Developer delivers written notice to City
within thirty (30) days of the commencement of the alleged City Default), extend the Term for a
period equal to the length of the delay.
8.5 Waiver.
Failure or delay by any Party in delivering a Notice of Default shall not waive that Party's
right to deliver a future Notice of Default of the same or any other Default.
15
8.6 Specific Performance Remedv.
Due to the size, nature, and scope of the Project, it will not be practical or possible to restore
the Property to its pre-existing condition once implementation of this Agreement has begun. After
such implementation, Property Owner, Developer and City may be foreclosed from other choices
they may have had to plan for the development of the Property, to utilize the Property or provide
for other benefits and alternatives. Property Owner, Developer, and City have invested significant
time and resources and performed extensive planning and processing of the Project in agreeing to
the terms of this Agreement and will be investing even more significant time and resources in
implementing the Project in reliance upon the terms of this Agreement. It is not possible to
determine the sum of money which would adequately compensate Property Owner, Developer or
City for such efforts. For the above reasons, City, Property Owner and Developer agree that
damages would not be an adequate remedy if City, Property Owner or Developer fails to carry out
its obligations under this Agreement. Therefore, specific performance of this Agreement is
necessary to compensate Property Owner and Developer if City fails to carry out its obligations
under this Agreement or to compensate City if Property Owner or Developer fails to carry out its
obligations under this Agreement.
8.7 Monetary Damages.
The Parties agree that monetary damages shall not be an available remedy for a Party for a
Default hereunder by the other Party; provided, however, that (i) nothing in this Section 8.7 is
intended or shall be interpreted to limit or restrict City's right to recover the Public Benefit Fees
due from Property Owner as set forth herein; and (ii) nothing in this Section 8.7 is intended or
shall be interpreted to limit or restrict Property Owner's indemnity obligations set forth in Article
10 or the right of the prevailing Party in any Action to recover its litigation expenses, as set forth
in Section 8.10. In no event shall damages be awarded against the City upon an event of default
or upon termination of this Agreement. Property Owner expressly agrees that the City, any City
agencies and their respective elected and appointed councils, boards, commissions, officers,
agents, employees, volunteers and representatives (collectively, for purposes of this Section 8.7,
"City") shall not be liable for any monetary damage for a Default by the City or any claims against
City arising out of this Agreement. Property Owner hereby expressly waives any such monetary
damages against the City. The sole and exclusive judicial remedy for Property Owner in the event
of a Default by the City shall be an action in mandamus, specific performance, or other injunctive
or declaratory relief.
8.8 Additional City Remedy for Property Owner or Developer's Default.
In the event of any Default by Property Owner or Developer, in addition to any other
remedies which may be available to City, whether legal or equitable, City shall be entitled to
receive and retain any Development Exactions applicable to the Project or the Property, including
any fees, grants, dedications, or improvements to public property which it may have received prior
to Property Owner or Developer's Default without recourse from Property Owner, Developer, or
eithers successors or assigns.
16
8.9 No Personal Liabilitv of Citv Officials. Emnlovees, or AL-ents.
No City official, employee, or agent shall have any personal liability hereunder for a
Default by City of any of its obligations set forth in this Agreement.
8.10 Recovery of Legal Expenses by Prevailing Party in Any Action.
In any judicial proceeding, arbitration, or mediation (collectively, an "Action") between
the Parties that seeks to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or arises out of this Agreement,
the prevailing Party shall not recover any of its costs and expenses, regardless of whether they
would be recoverable under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1033.5 or California Civil
Code Section 1717 in the absence of this Agreement. These costs and expenses include, but are
not limited to, court costs, expert witness fees, attorneys' fees, City staff costs (including
overhead), and costs of investigation and preparation before initiation of the Action.
9. Force Maieure.
No Party shall be deemed to be in Default where failure or delay in performance of any of
its obligations under this Agreement is caused, through no fault of the Party whose performance
is prevented or delayed, by floods, earthquakes, other acts of God, fires, wars, riots or similar
hostilities, strikes or other labor difficulties, state or federal regulations, or court actions. Except
as specified above, nonperformance shall not be excused because of the act or omission of a third
person. In no event shall the occurrence of an event of force majeure operate to extend the Term
of this Agreement. In addition, in no event shall the time for performance of a monetary obligation,
including without limitation Property Owner and/or Developer's obligation to pay Public Benefit
Fees, be extended pursuant to this Section.
10. Indemnity Oblieations of Property Owner.
10.1 Indemnity Arisins From Acts or Omissions of Property Owner or Developer.
Property Owner and Developer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City and City's
officials, employees, agents, attorneys, and contractors (collectively, the "City's Affiliated
Parties") from and against all suits, claims, liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, obligations, and
expenses (including but not limited to attorneys' fees and costs) (collectively, a "Claim") that may
arise, directly or indirectly, from the acts, omissions, or operations of Property Owner or Developer
or Property Owner or Developer's agents, contractors, subcontractors, agents, or employees in the
course of Development of the Project or any other activities of Property Owner or Developer
relating to the Property or pursuant to this Agreement. City shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to select and retain counsel to defend any Claim filed against City and/or any of City's
Affiliated Parties, and Property Owner and Developer shall pay the reasonable cost for defense of
any Claim. In the event City, Property Owner or Developer recovers any attorneys' fees, expert
witness fees, costs, interest, or other amounts from the party or parties asserting the Claim,
Property Owner and Developer shall be entitled to retain the same (provided it has fully performed
its indemnity obligations hereunder). The indemnity provisions in this Section 10.1 shall
commence on the Agreement Date, regardless of whether the Effective Date occurs, and shall
survive the Termination Date.
17
10.2 Third PgM Litigation.
In addition to its indemnity obligations set forth in Section 10.1, Property Owner and
Developer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City and City's Affiliated Parties from and
against any Claim against City or City's Affiliated Parties seeking to attack, set aside, void, or
annul the approval of this Agreement, the Adopting Ordinance, any of the Development
Regulations for the Project (including without limitation any actions taken pursuant to CEQA with
respect thereto), any Subsequent Development Approval, or the approval of any permit granted
pursuant to this Agreement. Said indemnity obligation shall include payment of attorney's fees,
expert witness fees, City staff costs, and court costs. City shall promptly notify Property Owner
and Developer of any such Claim and City shall cooperate with Property Owner and Developer in
the defense of such Claim. If City fails to promptly notify Property Owner and Developer of such
Claim, Property Owner and Developer shall not be responsible to indemnify, defend, and hold
City harmless from such Claim until Property Owner and Developer are so notified and if City
fails to cooperate in the defense of a Claim Property Owner and Developer shall not be responsible
to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless City during the period that City so fails to cooperate or
for any losses attributable thereto. City shall be entitled to retain separate counsel to represent City
against the Claim and the City's defense costs for its separate counsel shall be included in Property
Owner and Developer's indemnity obligation, provided that such counsel shall reasonably
cooperate with Property Owner and Developer in an effort to minimize the total litigation expenses
incurred by Property Owner and Developer. In the event City Property Owner, or Developer
recovers any attorney's fees, expert witness fees, costs, interest, or other amounts from the party
or parties asserting the Claim, Property Owner and Developer shall be entitled to retain the same
(provided it has fully performed its indemnity obligations hereunder). The indemnity provisions
in this Section 10.2 shall commence on the Agreement Date, regardless of whether the Effective
Date occurs, and shall survive the Termination Date.
10.3 Environmental Indemni
In addition to its indemnity obligations set forth in Section 10.1, from and after the
Agreement Date, Property Owner and Developer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City
and City's Affiliated Parties from and against any and all Claims for personal injury or death,
property damage, economic loss, statutory penalties or fines, and damages of any kind or nature
whatsoever, including without limitation attorney's fees, expert witness fees, and costs, based upon
or arising from any of the following: (i) the actual or alleged presence of any Hazardous Substance
on or under any of the Property in violation of any applicable Environmental Law; (ii) the actual
or alleged migration of any Hazardous Substance from the Property through the soils or
groundwater to a location or locations off of the Property; and (iii) the storage, handling, transport,
or disposal of any Hazardous Substance on, to, or from the Property and any other area disturbed,
graded, or developed by Property Owner or Developer in connection with Property Owner and/or
Developer's Development of the Project. The indemnity provisions in this Section 10.3 shall
commence on the Agreement Date, regardless of whether the Effective Date occurs, and shall
survive the Termination Date.
11. Assignment.
Property Owner or Developer shall have the right to sell, transfer, or assign (hereinafter,
collectively, a "Transfer") its interest in or fee title to the Property, in whole or in part, to any
person, partnership, joint venture, firm, or corporation (which successor, as of the effective date
of the Transfer, shall become the "Property Owner" under this Agreement) at any time from the
Agreement Date until the Termination Date; provided, however, that no such Transfer shall violate
the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Section 66410 et seq.) or City's
local subdivision ordinance and any such Transfer shall include the assignment and assumption of
Property Owner or Developer's rights, duties, and obligations set forth in or arising under this
Agreement as to the Property or the portion thereof so Transferred and shall be made in strict
compliance with the following conditions precedent: (i) no transfer or assignment of any of
Property Owner or Developer's rights or interest under this Agreement shall be made unless made
together with the Transfer of all or a part of the Property; and (ii) prior to the effective date of any
proposed Transfer, Property Owner or Developer (as transferor) shall notify City, in writing, of
such proposed Transfer and deliver to City a written assignment and assumption, executed in
recordable form by the transferring and successor Property Owner or Developer and in a form
subject to the reasonable approval of the City Attorney of City (or designee), pursuant to which
the transferring Property Owner or Developer assigns to the successor Property Owner and the
successor Property Owner assumes from the transferring Property Owner all of the rights and
obligations of the transferring Property Owner with respect to the Property or portion thereof to be
so Transferred, including in the case of a partial Transfer the obligation to perform such obligations
that must be performed off of the portion of the Property so Transferred that are a condition
precedent to the successor Property Owner's right to develop the portion of the Property so
Transferred. Any Permitted Transferee shall have all of the same rights, benefits, duties,
obligations, and liabilities of Property Owner or Developer under this Agreement with respect to
the portion of, or interest in, the Property sold, transferred, and assigned to such Permitted
Transferee; provided, however, that in the event of a Transfer of less than all of the Property, or
interest in the Property, no such Permitted Transferee shall have the right to enter into an
amendment of this Agreement that jeopardizes or impairs the rights or increases the obligations of
the Property Owner with respect to the balance of the Property, without Property Owner or
Developer's written consent.
Notwithstanding any Transfer, the transferring Property Owner or Developer shall
continue to be jointly and severally liable to City, together with the successor Property Owner, to
perform all of the transferred obligations set forth in or arising under this Agreement unless the
transferring Property Owner or Developer is given a release in writing by City, which release shall
be only with respect to the portion of the Property so Transferred in the event of a partial Transfer.
City shall provide such a release upon the transferring Property Owner or Developer's full
satisfaction of all of the following conditions: (i) the transferring Property Owner or Developer no
longer has a legal or equitable interest in the portion of the Property so Transferred other than as a
beneficiary under a deed of trust; (ii) the transferring Property Owner or Developer is not then in
Default under this Agreement and no condition exists that with the passage of time or the giving
of notice, or both, would constitute a Default hereunder; (iii) the transferring Property Owner or
Developer has provided City with the notice and the fully executed written and recordable
assignment and assumption agreement required as set forth in the first paragraph of this Section
11; and (iv) the successor Property Owner either (A) provides City with substitute security
equivalent to any security previously provided by the transferring Property Owner or Developer
to City to secure performance of the successor Property Owner's obligations hereunder with
respect to the Property or the portion of the Property so Transferred or (B) if the transferred
obligation in question is not a secured obligation, the successor Property Owner either provides
security reasonably satisfactory to City or otherwise demonstrates to City's reasonable satisfaction
19
that the successor Property Owner has the financial resources or commitments available to perform
the transferred obligation at the time and in the manner required under this Agreement and the
Development Regulations for the Project. Any determination by the City in regards to the second
paragraph of Section 11 subpart (iv) (A) and/or (B) shall be documented in writing.
12. MortizaLyee Rights.
12.1 Encumbrances on Pronertv.
The Parties agree that this Agreement shall not prevent or limit Property Owner or
Developer in any manner from encumbering the Property, any part of the Property, or any
improvements on the Property with any Mortgage securing financing with respect to the
construction, development, use, or operation of the Project.
12.2 Mortgagee Protection.
This Agreement shall be superior and senior to the lien of any Mortgage. Nevertheless, no
breach of this Agreement shall defeat, render invalid, diminish, or impair the lien of any Mortgage
made in good faith and for value. Any acquisition or acceptance of title or any right or interest in
the Property or part of the Property by a Mortgagee (whether due to foreclosure, trustee's sale,
deed in lieu of foreclosure, lease termination, or otherwise) shall be subject to all of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. Any Mortgagee who takes title to the Property or any part of the
Property shall be entitled to the benefits arising under this Agreement.
12.3 Mortgagee Not Obligated.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 12.3, a Mortgagee will not have any
obligation or duty under the terms of this Agreement to perform the obligations of Property Owner
or Developer or other affirmative covenants of Property Owner or Developer, or to guarantee this
performance except that: (i) the Mortgagee shall have no right to develop the Project under the
Development Regulations without fully complying with the terms of this Agreement; and (ii) to
the extent that any covenant to be performed by Property Owner or Developer is a condition to the
performance of a covenant by City, that performance shall continue to be a condition precedent to
City's performance.
12.4 Notice of Default to Mortgagee; Right of Mortgagee to Cure.
Each Mortgagee shall, upon written request to City, be entitled to receive written notice
from City of. (i) the results of the periodic review of compliance specified in Article 7 of this
Agreement, and (ii) any default by Property Owner or Developer of its obligations set forth in this
Agreement.
Each Mortgagee shall have a further right, but not an obligation, to cure the Default within
ten (10) days after receiving a Notice of Default with respect to a monetary Default and within
thirty (30) days after receiving a Notice of Default with respect to a non -monetary Default. If the
Mortgagee can only remedy or cure a non -monetary Default by obtaining possession of the
Property, then the Mortgagee shall have the right to seek to obtain possession with diligence and
continuity through a receiver or otherwise, and to remedy or cure the non -monetary Default within
thirty (30) days after obtaining possession and, except in case of emergency or to protect the public
W
health or safety, City may not exercise any of its judicial remedies set forth in this Agreement to
terminate or substantially alter the rights of the Mortgagee until expiration of the thirty (30) day
period. In the case of a non -monetary Default that cannot with diligence be remedied or cured
within thirty (30) days, the Mortgagee shall have additional time as is reasonably necessary to
remedy or cure the Default, provided the Mortgagee promptly commences to cure the non -
monetary Default within thirty (30) days and diligently prosecutes the cure to completion.

Parties in the manner provided in this Section 14.2, and thereafter notices to such Party shall be
addressed and submitted to the new address. Notices delivered in accordance with this Agreement
shall be deemed to be delivered upon the earlier of: (i) the date received or (iii) three business days
after deposit in the mail as provided above.
14.3 Project as a Private Undertaking.
Any future Development of the Project is a private undertaking. No Party will be acting
as the agent of the other in any respect, and each Party will be an independent contracting entity
with respect to the terms, covenants, and conditions set forth in this Agreement. This Agreement
forms no partnership, joint venture, or other association of any kind. The only relationship between
the Parties is that of a government entity regulating the Development of private property by the
owner or user of the Property.
14.4 Cooperation.
Each Party shall cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to the other Party to the
extent consistent with and necessary to implement this Agreement. Upon the request of a Party at
any time, the other Party shall promptly execute, with acknowledgement or affidavit if reasonably
required, and file or record the required instruments and writings and take any actions as may be
reasonably necessary to implement this Agreement or to evidence or consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
14.5 Estoppel Certificates.
At any time, a Party may deliver written notice to the other Parry requesting that that Party
certify in writing that, to the best of its knowledge: (i) this Agreement is in full force and effect
and is binding on the Party; (ii) this Agreement has not been amended or modified either orally or
in writing or, if this Agreement has been amended, the Party providing the certification shall
identify the amendments or modifications; and (iii) the requesting Party is not in Default in the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement and no event or situation has occurred that
with the passage of time or the giving of Notice or both would constitute a Default or, if such is
not the case, then the other Parry shall describe the nature and amount of the actual or prospective
Default.
The Parry requested to furnish an estoppel certificate shall execute and return the certificate
within thirty (30) days following receipt. Requests for the City to furnish an estoppel certificate
shall include reimbursement for all administrative costs incurred by the City including reasonable
attorney's fees incurred by the City in furnishing an estoppels certificate.
14.6 Rules of Construction.
The singular includes the plural; the masculine and neuter include the feminine; "shall" is
mandatory; and "may" is permissive.
22
14.7 Time Is of the Essence.
Time is of the essence regarding each provision of this Agreement as to which time is an
element.
14.8 Waiver.
The failure by a Party to insist upon the strict performance of any of the provisions of this
Agreement by the other Party, and failure by a Party to exercise its rights upon a Default by the
other Party, shall not constitute a waiver of that Parry's right to demand strict compliance by the
other Party in the future.
14.9 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be
identical and may be introduced in evidence or used for any other purpose without any other
counterpart, but all of which shall together constitute one (1) and the same agreement.
14.10 Entire Agreement.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes all
prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the
subject matter addressed in this Agreement.
14.11 Severability.
The Parties intend that each and every obligation of the Parties is interdependent and
interrelated with the other, and if any provision of this Agreement or the application of the
provision to any Party or circumstances shall be held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, it is
the intention of the Parties that the remainder of this Agreement or the application of the provision
to persons or circumstances shall be rendered invalid or unenforceable. The Parties intend that no
Party shall receive any of the benefits of the Agreement without the full performance by such Party
of all of its obligations provided for under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Parties intend that Property Owner and Developer shall not receive any of the
benefits of this Agreement if any of Property Owner or Developer's obligations are rendered void
or unenforceable as the result of any third party litigation, and City shall be free to exercise its
legislative discretion to amend or repeal the Development Regulations applicable to the Property
and Property Owner and Developer shall cooperate as required, despite this Agreement, should
third party litigation result in the nonperformance of Property Owner or Developer's obligations
under this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 14.11 shall apply regardless of whether the
Effective Date occurs and after the Termination Date.
14.12 Construction.
This Agreement has been drafted after negotiation and revision. City, Property Owner,
and Developer are sophisticated parties who were represented by independent counsel throughout
the negotiations and Property Owner and Developer had the opportunity to be so represented and
voluntarily chose to not be so represented. City, Property Owner, and Developer agree and
acknowledge that the terms of this Agreement are fair and reasonable, taking into account their
23
respective purposes, terms, and conditions. This Agreement shall therefore be construed as a
whole consistent with its fair meaning and applicable principle or presumptions of contract
construction or interpretation, if any, shall be used to construe the whole or any part of this
Agreement in favor of or against any Parry.
14.13 Successors and Assigns; Constructive Notice and Acceptance.
The burdens of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and the benefits of this Agreement
shall inure to, all successors in interest to the Parties to this Agreement. All provisions of this
Agreement shall be enforceable as equitable servitudes and constitute covenants running with the
land. Each covenant to do or refrain from doing some act hereunder with regard to Development
of the Property: (i) is for the benefit of and is a burden upon every portion of the Property; (ii) runs
with the Property and each portion thereof; and (iii) is binding upon each Party and each successor
in interest during its ownership of the Property or any portion thereof. Every person or entity who
now or later owns or acquires any right, title, or interest in any part of the Project or the Property
is and shall be conclusively deemed to have consented and agreed to every provision of this
Agreement. This Section 14.13 applies regardless of whether the instrument by which such person
or entity acquires the interest refers to or acknowledges this Agreement and regardless of whether
such person or entity has expressly entered into an assignment and assumption agreement as
provided for in Article 11.
14.14 No Third Party Beneficiaries.
The only Parties to this Agreement are City, Property Owner, and Developer. This
Agreement does not involve any third -party beneficiaries, and it is not intended and shall not be
construed to benefit or be enforceable by any other person or entity.
14.15 Applicable Law and Venue.
This Agreement shall be construed and enforced consistent with the internal laws of the
State of California, without regard to conflicts of law principles. Any action at law or in equity
arising under this Agreement or brought by any Party for the purpose of enforcing, construing, or
determining the validity of any provision of this Agreement shall be filed and tried in the Superior
Court of the County of Orange, State of California, or the United States District Court for the
Central District of California. The Parties waive all provisions of law providing for the removal
or change of venue to any other court.
14.16 Section Headings.
All section headings and subheadings are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect
construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
