to accept the title to and conveyance of the Property, in which case the Parties shall have the right,
subject to Section 2.4.2, to cancel the Escrow and terminate this Agreement without liability to
either Party or any other person, by delivery of a written notice of termination to the Escrow
Holder, or (2) waive its objection to any items set forth in Purchaser’s Title Notice by delivering
Purchaser’s Title Notice Waiver to the City. Failure by the Purchaser to deliver Purchaser’s Title
Notice Waiver, where City’s Title Notice Response or the City’s failure to serve City’s Title Notice
Response indicates the City’s election not to cause the removal of any matter objected to in
Purchaser’s Title Notice from the Preliminary Report, for the City to deliver City’s Title Notice
Response under this Agreement, will be deemed the Purchaser’s continued refusal to accept the
title to and conveyance of the Property, in which case the City shall have the right, subject to
Section 2.4.2, to cancel the Escrow and terminate this Agreement, in the City’s sole discretion,
without liability to the Purchaser or any other person, by delivery of a written notice of termination
to the Purchaser and Escrow Holder.
2.4.1 If at any time prior to the Close of Escrow the Title Company issues an
updated Preliminary Report containing any previously undisclosed matter affecting title to the
Property, or the City becomes aware of any previously undisclosed matter affecting title to the
Property, following the delivery of the Purchaser’s Title Notice, the City shall provide written
notice to the Purchaser of such matter, together with any updated Preliminary Report related to
such matter. The City and the Purchaser shall have such rights and obligations with respect to such
previously undisclosed title matters as they did with respect to any title matters set forth in the
original Preliminary Report as set forth in this Section 2.4.
2.4.2 Before exercising any right a Party may have under this Section 2.4 to
cancel the Escrow and terminate this Agreement, such Party shall notify the non-terminating
Parties in writing of its election to terminate and shall, upon a non-terminating Party’s request,
which must be delivered, if at all, within three (3) days following its receipt of the terminating
Party’s notice of election to terminate, meet and confer with the non-terminating Parties for a
period of thirty (30) days. During such time, the Parties shall meet as often as reasonably requested
by any Party to negotiate, in good faith, methods and means by which the objectionable title matter
may be eliminated or mitigated. Nothing herein shall constitute an agreement, representation, or
warranty by any Party that an acceptable resolution of the objectionable title matter will be
achieved, nor shall any Party be obligated to expend any funds or undertake any other action
whatsoever with respect to such title matter unless such agreement is reduced to a writing which
is approved by all Parties, in their sole and absolute discretion. If, at the end of such thirty (30) day
period, the Parties have not been able to agree on a mutually acceptable method of resolving such

title matter, or if any proposed agreement is disapproved by the City Council, the Escrow shall be
cancelled, this Agreement shall be terminated without liability to any Party, and the Parties shall
proceed pursuant to Section 3.9.
2.5 Purchaser Investigations.

Period to complete all of its Due Diligence Investigations with respect to the entirety of the
Property. The Purchaser shall complete all of its Due Diligence Investigations within the Due
Diligence Period and shall conduct all of its Due Diligence Investigations at its sole cost and
expense. The Purchaser shall rely solely and exclusively upon the results of its Due Diligence
Investigations of the Property, including, without limitation, investigations regarding geotechnical
soil conditions, compliance with applicable laws pertaining to the use of the Property by the
Purchaser and any other matters relevant to the condition or suitability of the Property for any
particular project or development, as the Purchaser may deem necessary or appropriate. City makes
no representation or warranty to the Purchaser relating to the condition of the Property or suitability
of the Property for any intended use or development by the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall deliver
a Due Diligence Investigation Conclusion Notice to the City and the Escrow Holder prior to the
end of the Due Diligence Period. If the Purchaser does not unconditionally accept the condition of
the Property by delivery of its Due Diligence Investigation Conclusion Notice indicating such
acceptance prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have
rejected the condition of the Property and refused to accept conveyance of title to the Property. If
the condition of the Property is rejected or deemed rejected by the Purchaser, then the City shall
have the right, subject to Section 2.5.2, to cancel the Escrow and terminate this Agreement, in the
City’s sole discretion, without liability to the Purchaser or any other person, by delivery of a written
notice of termination to the Purchaser and Escrow Holder. The Purchaser shall accept all
conditions of the Property, without any liability of the City whatsoever, upon the Purchaser’s
acceptance of the condition of the Property indicated in its Due Diligence Investigation Conclusion
Notice. The Purchaser’s delivery of its Due Diligence Investigation Conclusion Notice indicating
the Purchaser’s unconditional acceptance of the condition of the Property shall evidence the
acceptance of the condition of the Property by the Purchaser in its existing “AS IS,” “WHERE IS”
and “SUBJECT TO ALL FAULTS” condition, as of the last day of the Due Diligence Period. In
its sole discretion, the Purchaser may accept the Property in its “AS IS,” “WHERE IS” and
“SUBJECT TO ALL FAULTS” condition at any time before the end of the Due Diligence Period.
The Purchaser shall conduct during the Due Diligence Period such environmental assessment(s)
of the Property as the Purchaser deems appropriate. If such assessment(s) do not reveal the
presence of any Hazardous Substances on the Property in levels that exceed applicable
Governmental Requirements, then the City shall promptly and at its sole cost and expense install
security fencing around the Property. If such assessment(s) do reveal the presence of any
Hazardous Substances on the Property in levels that exceed applicable Governmental
Requirements, then the City and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to reach
agreement as to the allocation of responsibility and cost of remediation thereof.
2.5.2 Any Due Diligence Investigations of the Property by the Purchaser shall
not unreasonably disrupt any then-existing use or occupancy of the Property or the operations of
the City. The Purchaser shall be liable for any damage or injury to any person or property arising
from the acts of the Purchaser, its employees, agents or representatives during the course of any
61147.00310\34503815.2
-13-
Due Diligence Investigations on the Property and the Purchaser shall indemnify, defend with
counsel reasonably acceptable to the City and hold harmless the City and its elected officials,
officers, directors, attorneys, contractors, agents and employees from any and all actual or alleged
liens, claims, demands or liability arising from any Due Diligence Investigations by the Purchaser
on the Property. Prior to commencing any Due Diligence Investigations on the Property, the
Purchaser shall deliver copies of policies or certificates of insurance to the City evidencing
compliance by the Purchaser with the insurance requirements of Section 5.11.
2.5.3 Before exercising any right a Party may have under this Section 2.5 to
cancel the Escrow and terminate this Agreement, such Party shall notify the non-terminating
Parties in writing of its election to terminate and shall, upon a non-terminating Party’s request,
which must be delivered, if at all, within three (3) days following its receipt of the terminating
Party’s notice of election to terminate, meet and confer with the non-terminating Parties for a
period of thirty (30) days. During such time, the Parties shall meet as often as reasonably requested
by any Party to negotiate, in good faith, methods and means by which the objectionable Due
Diligence matter may be eliminated or mitigated. Nothing herein shall constitute an agreement,
representation, or warranty by any Party that an acceptable resolution of the objectionable Due
Diligence matter will be achieved, nor shall any Party be obligated to expend any funds or
undertake any other action whatsoever with respect to such Due Diligence matter unless such
obligation is reduced to a writing which is approved by all Parties, in their sole and absolute
discretion. If, at the end of such thirty (30) day period, the Parties have not been able to agree on
a mutually acceptable method of resolving the objectionable Due Diligence matter, or if any
proposed agreement is disapproved by the City Council, the Escrow shall be cancelled, this
Agreement shall be terminated without liability to any Party, and the Parties shall proceed pursuant
to Section 3.10.

preclude City from seeking damages against any prior owner of any portion of the Property if,
during the tenure of such owner’s ownership, such owner’s portion of the Property was not in
compliance with any one or more of the special development covenants.
5.9 Purchaser Covenant to Defend this Agreement. The Purchaser acknowledges
that the City is a “public entity” and/or “public agency” as defined under applicable California
law. Therefore, the City must satisfy the requirements of certain California statutes relating to the
actions of public entities and public agencies including, without limitation, CEQA and SLA. Also,
as a public body, the City’s action in approving this Agreement may be subject to proceedings to
invalidate this Agreement or mandamus. The Purchaser assumes the risk of delays and damages
that may result to the Purchaser from any third-party legal actions related to the City’s approval of
this Agreement or the pursuit of the activities contemplated by this Agreement, even in the event
that an error, omission or abuse of discretion by the City is determined to have occurred. If a third-
party files a legal action regarding the City’s approval of this Agreement or the pursuit of the
activities contemplated by this Agreement, either the City may terminate this Agreement on thirty
(30) days written notice to the Purchaser of the City’s intent to terminate this Agreement,
referencing this Section 5.9, without any further obligation to perform the terms of this Agreement
and without any liability to the Purchaser resulting from such termination, unless the Purchaser
unconditionally agrees to indemnify and defend the City, with legal counsel acceptable to the City,
against such third-party legal action, as provided in the next sentence. Within thirty (30) days of
receipt of the City’s notice of intent to terminate this Agreement, as provided in the preceding
sentence, the Purchaser may offer to defend the City, with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to
the City, in the third-party legal action and pay all of the court costs, attorney fees, monetary
awards, sanctions, attorney fee awards, expert witness and consulting fees, and the expenses of
any and all financial or performance obligations resulting from the disposition of the legal action.
Any such offer from the Purchaser must be in writing and reasonably acceptable to the City in both
form and substance. Nothing contained in this Section 5.9 shall be deemed or construed to be an
express or implied admission that the City is liable to the Purchaser or any other person or entity
for damages alleged from any alleged or established failure of the City to comply with any statute,
including, without limitation, CEQA or SLA. The Purchaser’s defense of such third party actions
as described in this Section 5.9 shall constitute an Unavoidable Delay.

at its sole cost and expense, to fully indemnify, protect, hold harmless, and defend (with counsel
selected by the Purchaser and approved by the City) the City and its commissions, agents,
attorneys, officers, employees, and authorized representatives (collectively, the “Indemnified
Parties”), from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations,

with all applicable Environmental Laws, to lawfully remove, contain, transport or dispose of any

or before any governmental agency in connection with any Hazardous Materials on, in, under,

ARTICLE VII
DEFAULTS, REMEDIES AND TERMINATION
7.1 Defaults - General.
7.1.1 Subject to any extensions of time provided for in this Agreement, failure
or delay by any Party to perform any term or provision of this Agreement shall constitute an “Event
of Default” under this Agreement; provided, however, that if a Party otherwise in default
commences to cure, correct or remedy such default, within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt
of written notice from the injured Party specifying such default, and shall diligently and
continuously prosecute such cure, correction or remedy to completion (and where any time limits
for the completion of such cure, correction or remedy are specifically set forth in this Agreement,
then within said time limits), such Party shall not be deemed to be in default under this Agreement
and no Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred.
7.1.2 The injured Party shall give written notice of default to the Party in
default, specifying the default complained of by the non-defaulting Party. Delay in giving such
notice shall not constitute a waiver of any default nor shall it change the time of default.
7.1.3 Any failure or delays by any Party in asserting any of their rights and/or
remedies as to any default shall not operate as a waiver of any default or of any such rights or
remedies. Delays by any Party in asserting any of its rights and/or remedies shall not deprive that
Party of its right to institute and maintain any actions or proceedings that it may deem necessary
to protect, assert or enforce any such rights or remedies.
7.1.4 In addition to other acts or omissions of the Purchaser that may legally
or equitably constitute a default or breach of this Agreement, the occurrence of any of the following
specific events shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Agreement and shall not be subject
to the notice and cure provisions of Section 7.1.1:
7.1.4.1 Any material default by the Purchaser under any Loan
Documents for any purpose or reason that remains uncured following any applicable notice and
expiration of any applicable cure period under such Loan Documents.
7.1.4.2 Any representation, warranty or disclosure made to the City by
the Purchaser in this Agreement is materially false or misleading,.
7.1.4.3 The Purchaser fails to make any payment or deposit of funds
required under this Agreement or to pay any other charge set forth in this Agreement, following
seven (7) days’ written notice to the Purchaser from the City of such failure.
7.1.4.4 [intentionally deleted].

7.1.4.5 There occurs any event of dissolution, reorganization or
termination of the Purchaser that adversely and materially affects the operation or value of the
Property, and such event is not corrected within five (5) days following written notice of such
event from the City to the Purchaser.
7.1.4.6 The Purchaser Transfers its interest in this Agreement or the
Property, or any portion thereof, whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law, in
violation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such action is not cured within the
period prescribed in Section 8.2.2.

conduct the affairs of the Purchaser under state or federal law.

7.2 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO THE CITY. UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF
AN EVENT OF DEFAULT BY THE PURCHASER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WHICH IS

AND UPON CANCELLATION OF THE ESCROW, THE CITY SHALL BE RELIEVED OF
ANY OBLIGATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO SELL OR CONVEY THE PROPERTY
OR ANY PORTION THEREOF AND ANY SUCH ESCROW CANCELLATION SHALL BE
WITHOUT ANY LIABILITY OF THE CITY TO THE PURCHASER OR ANY OTHER
PERSON ARISING FROM SUCH ACTIONS. THE CITY AND THE PURCHASER
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICAL, IF NOT
IMPOSSIBLE, TO ASCERTAIN THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES THAT WOULD BE
SUFFERED BY THE CITY IN THE EVENT OF A CANCELLATION OF THE ESCROW DUE
TO THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT BY THE PURCHASER UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT PRIOR TO THE CLOSE OF ESCROW. HAVING MADE DILIGENT BUT
UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS TO ASCERTAIN THE ACTUAL DAMAGES THE CITY
WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT OF A CANCELLATION OF THE ESCROW DUE TO THE
OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT BY THE PURCHASER UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT PRIOR TO THE CLOSE OF ESCROW, THE CITY AND THE PURCHASER
AGREE THAT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE CITY’S DAMAGES IN SUCH EVENT
IS THE TOTAL SUM OF TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($25,000) (THE
“LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AMOUNT”). THEREFORE, UPON THE CANCELLATION OF
THE ESCROW BY THE CITY DUE TO THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT
BY THE PURCHASER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT PRIOR TO THE CLOSE OF THE
ESCROW, ESCROW HOLDER SHALL IMMEDIATELY CANCEL THE ESCROW AND PAY
THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AMOUNT TO THE CITY, IN PART, FROM THE EARNEST
MONEY DEPOSIT WITHIN FIVE (5) DAYS OF ESCROW CANCELLATION. RECEIPT OF
THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AMOUNT SHALL BE THE CITY’S SOLE AND
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UPON THE CANCELLATION OF THE ESCROW DUE TO THE
OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT BY THE PURCHASER UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT PRIOR TO THE CLOSE OF ESCROW.

ARTICLE VIII
GENERAL PROVISIONS.
8.1 Incorporation of Recitals. The Recitals of fact set forth preceding this Agreement
are true and correct and are incorporated into this Agreement in their entirety by this reference.
8.2 Restrictions on Transfers.
8.2.1 The Purchaser acknowledges that the qualifications and identity of the
Purchaser are of particular importance to the City. The Purchaser further recognizes and
acknowledges that the City has relied and is relying on the specific qualifications and identity of
the Purchaser in entering into this Agreement with the Purchaser and, as a consequence, Transfers
are permitted only as expressly provided in this Agreement. The Purchaser shall promptly notify
the City in writing of any and all changes whatsoever in the identity of the business entities or
individuals either comprising or in control of the Purchaser, as well as any and all changes in the
interest or the degree of control of the Purchaser by any such person, of which information the
Purchaser or any of its partners, members or officers are notified or may otherwise have knowledge
or information.
8.2.2 Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, the Purchaser
represents to the City that it has not made and agrees that it will not make or create, or suffer to be
made or created, any Transfer other than a Permitted Transfer, either voluntarily, involuntarily or
by operation of law, until after the recordation of a Certificate of Completion for the project subject
to the Transfer; provided, however, that the City may approve in its reasonable discretion,
Transfers other than Permitted Transfers prior to the recordation of a Certificate of Completion. In
deciding whether to approve or disapprove any proposed Transfer, the City may consider the
proposed transferee’s financial strength and the experience of the proposed transferee and its senior
management in undertaking and successfully completing projects of a similar type and size as the
project or that portion of the project proposed to be transferred. Any Transfer made in
contravention of this Section 8.2 shall be voidable at the election of the City and this Agreement
may be terminated by the City or the City may exercise any other remedy available to the City
under the terms of this Agreement, provided, however, that (i) the City shall first notify the
Purchaser in writing of its intention to terminate this Agreement or to exercise any other remedy,
and (ii) the Purchaser shall have twenty (20) calendar days following its receipt of such written
notice to commence and, thereafter, diligently and continuously proceed to cure the default of the
Purchaser and submit evidence of the initiation and satisfactory completion of such cure to the
City, in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the City.

written notice of any proposed Permitted Transfer which the Purchaser desires to enter into prior
to the recordation of a Certificate of Completion for the project subject to the Transfer, other than
a Permitted Transfer for which no notice shall be required. The Purchaser shall have the burden of
demonstrating to the City’s reasonable satisfaction that the proposed Permitted Transfer meets the
conditions and requirements of this Agreement with respect to Permitted Transfers.
8.2.4 In connection with the City’s review of any request for approval of any
proposed Transfer under this Section 8.2, the Purchaser agrees to reimburse the City for those third
party costs and expenses incurred by the City in connection with its review of the Purchaser’s
request for approval, including, without implied limitation, the reasonable fees and costs of those
outside consultants and legal counsel retained by the City to assist it in its review of the Purchaser’s
request, including the City Attorney.

8.7 Unavoidable Delay; Extension of Time of Performance.
8.7.1 Subject to specific provisions of this Agreement, performance by any
Party under this Agreement shall not be deemed, or considered to be, in default where any such
default is due to an Unavoidable Delay that is not attributable to the fault of the Party claiming an
extension of time to perform. An extension of time for any Unavoidable Delay shall be for the
period of the Unavoidable Delay and shall commence to run from the date of occurrence of the
Unavoidable Delay, if the Party asserting the existence of the Unavoidable Delay provides the
other Parties with written notice of the occurrence of the Unavoidable Delay, within ten (10) days
of the commencement of such asserted Unavoidable Delay. Otherwise, the extension of time for
an Unavoidable Delay shall commence on the date of receipt of written notice of the occurrence

8.7.2 The Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that changes in either
general economic conditions or changes in the economic assumptions of either of them that may

with grounds for asserting the existence of an Unavoidable Delay in the performance of any
covenant or undertaking arising under this Agreement. Each Party expressly assumes the risk that
changes in general economic conditions or changes in such economic assumptions relating to the
terms and covenants of this Agreement could impose an inconvenience or hardship on the

representatives, successors, and assigns.

of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the
same instrument. All pages of this Agreement (exclusive of signature pages) and all exhibits
constitute the entire understanding and agreement of the Parties regarding the Property and the
other subjects addressed in this Agreement.
8.11.2 This Agreement integrates all of the terms and conditions mentioned in
