Bertolino, as Trustee of the Ralph Alan Bertolino 1996 Trust DBA "Capistrano Plaza" San Juan Capistrano Community Redevelopment Agency City of San Juan Capistrano 0 0 SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT This SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated r, 2003, is made by and among RALPH A. BERTOLINO, AS TRUSTEE OF THE RALPH ALAN BERTOLINO 1996 TRUST and RALPH A. BERTOLINO, AS TRUSTEE OF THE RALPH ALAN BERTOLINO 1996 TRUST DBA "CAPISTRANO PLAZA" (hereafter collectively referred to as `Bertolino,"), the SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, a public body, corporate and politic (hereafter referred to as the "Agency"), and the CITY OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, a municipal corporation (the "City"). Bertolino, Agency and City are sometimes referred to together as the "Parties". In consideration of the promises made herein, the Parties agree as follows: 1. Nature of Complaint and Recitals. Bertolino and the Agency have been engaged in a dispute concerning the following: (a) rent and other charges Bertolino alleges to be due from the Agency under that certain Ground Lease dated March 8, 1971, between National Producers Life Insurance Company (the "Original Lessor") as Lessor, and Provincial Properties, Inc. (the "Original Lessee") as Lessee (the "1971 Lease"), by virtue of the fact that the Agency is a sublessee of a portion of the Original Lessee's interest in the 1971 Lease, and Bertolino has succeeded to the interests of both the Original Lessor and the Original Lessee. Bertolino contends, among other things, that all of the real property and improvements known as Lot 4 of Tract 134, per map recorded in Book 11, page 23 of Miscellaneous Maps, records of Orange County, California ("Lot 4") is subject to the 1971 Lease, and that accordingly, certain rent, taxes, and other charges are in arrears and that the City's rent should be calculated based on such an interpretation of the facts, whereas the City contends that only that portion of Lot 4 shown on Exhibit A and described on Exhibit B (the "Footprint") is subject to the 1971 Lease, and that therefore the increased rent owed to Bertolino should be calculated accordingly. Pursuant to the 1971 Lease, a rent adjustment was to have occurred on or about April 9, 1996, and the parties have been unable to agree on the amount due. Bertolino now claims the amount due with respect to such an increase is between $375,000.00 and $525,000.00, plus, in any case, interest from the date each rent payment was due. The Agency admits that some amount is due, but contends that the amount is substantially less. (b) the inclusion of all portions of Lot 4 other than the Footprint in that certain Ground Lease Agreement dated July 15, 1982, between Antonin Bertolino, Echo May Bertolino, and Ralph A. Bertolino as landlord but referred to therein as "Owner" and the City as tenant but referred to therein as "City" (the "1982 Lease"). The City maintains that all of Lot 4 other than the Footprint is governed by the 1982 Lease and that therefore (i) a lesser rent increase is due Bertolino, which increase should relate only to the Footprint, (ii) no increase is due with respect to the balance of Lot 4, and (iii) Bertolino has no right to control the portions of Lot 4 governed by the 1982 Lease except as described in the 1982 Lease. For purposes of this Agreement, all of Lot 4 other than the Footprint is referred to herein as the "Remaining Portion". (c) Bertolino owns the shopping center commonly known as Capistrano Plaza (legally described on Exhibit C hereto), which is adjacent to Lot 4, and other property governed by the 1982 Lease. The 1982 Lease covers all (if interpreted as the City contends is correct), or DOCSOC\931556v6\22299.0029 38481.0001AMCHOLMSVIRVA315673.3 05/27/03 9:55 AM 0 0 substantially all (if interpreted as Bertolino contends is correct) of what was the entire parking area for Capistrano Plaza. Bertolino contends that the 1982 Lease and the parties' understandings and expectations at the time of entering into same requires the City to (a) permit parking at no charge and subject to no other restrictive conditions to patrons and employees of Capistrano Plaza, and (b) allow expansion of the rentable square footage of Capistrano Plaza and other improvements to be made there without reference to parking requirements and without any conditions, costs, fees, or charges concerning parking or parking requirements that might otherwise be imposed as a result of such expansion or improvements. (d) The Parties have agreed that they wish to bring an end to this dispute, and have reached agreement with respect to same, as set forth in this Settlement Agreement. 2. Terms of Settlement. In settlement of the Dispute, in exchange for the promises and performances of each other set forth herein, and subject to vacation of the Building, the Parties agree as follows: (a) The Agency shall pay Bertolino the sum of $239,815.00; (b) The Agency shall execute and deliver a Grant Deed in the form of Exhibit D hereto, conveying to Bertolino all of improvements on the Footprint, including, without limitation, the two story building and related improvements known as 26755 Verdugo Street, San Juan Capistrano (the "Building"). The Building contains approximately 3,650 square feet of area, including residential living quarters on the second floor and retail operations on the first floor, and has a patio area in the rear. Effective upon such conveyance, this Agreement shall also constitute an assignment of any and all right, title and interest of the City in and to the 1971 Lease, and any other Lease, sublease, or any other type of tenancy or ownership agreement pursuant to which the City has or claims any right, title or interest in or to the Footprint or the Building. It is the intention of the parties hereto that following such conveyance, Bertolino shall own the Building and all such related improvements in fee simple absolute, shall continue to own the fee interest in the Footprint, and shall have, and the City will convey, pursuant to the Access Easement Agreement and Deed attached hereto as Exhibit E and incorporated herein by reference, a permanent right of ingress, egress and access to such Building from the public sidewalk in front of the Building, and from Verdugo Street, which is a public street, to said sidewalk and the Building. In addition, without regard to their specific location on or off of the Footprint, the City hereby grants and conveys to Bertolino the right to construct, keep in good order and repair, replace as necessary and maintain any and all water, gas, electric, telephone, sewer, storm drain and any other utility which serves the Building or any successor improvements on the Footprint (collectively, the "Utilities"), and Bertolino shall have the right, at reasonable times and on reasonable notice (except in the event of an emergency, in which case only such notice as is practicable shall be required), at its sole cost and expense, to enter onto any property covered by the 1982 Lease to maintain, repair, and replace the Utilities, all pursuant to the Utility Easement Agreement and Deed attached hereto as Exhibit F and incorporated herein by reference. All of the rights of Bertolino described herein are intended to be permanent, and to be covenants running with the land of Bertolino and the leasehold estate of the City in the 1982 Lease, which shall inure to the benefit of Bertolino's successors in interest in the Building and the Footprint. In connection with these conveyances, the City represents, warrants, and agrees as follows: DOCSOCV31556v6\22299.0029 38483.0001 VVMCHOLMS\IRV\315673.3 05/27/03 9:55 AM 0 0 (i) It is the owner of the Building and related improvements, and except as described in this subsection, has not granted or conveyed any interest in or to same, or encumbered same in any way. (ii) The Building is currently occupied by William Angerman ("Angerman"), who contends he is the assignee of Tim Holsten ("Holsten") under that certain Commercial Lease dated as of April 7, 1992, between the Agency as Landlord, and Holsten as Tenant, which was amended July 6, 1993, March 15, 1994, November 1, 1994, and October 15, 1996 (as amended, the "Vaquero Lease"). The Agency has not consented to the assignment, sublease or other transfer of the Vaquero Lease to Angerman, or any other person or entity, and has no knowledge of any other person or entity who claims any rights under the Vaquero Lease, or any other rights of possession whatsoever, save and except for concessionaires in the Building who entered into possession by virtue of contracts or agreements with Holsten or Angerman or both of them. The Agency intends to terminate the Vaquero Lease and cause the vacation of the Premises on or before May 3, 2003. The Agency has not entered into any other lease or tenancy agreement affecting the Building or the Footprint. (iii) The City shall, during the term of the 1982 Lease, at its sole cost and expense, maintain in good condition and repair and in a manner consistent with all laws, rules, regulations and safety codes governing same, all landscaping and improvements of whatever type or extent as may exist from time to time on Lot 4 save and except for the Building and the component parts thereof, and the utilities serving the Building. (iv) The current retail and residential uses in the Building are permitted uses as that term is used in San Juan Municipal Code § 9-3.303. (v) The Building and any successor Building or improvements on the Footprint, and Capistrano Plaza and any successor buildings or improvements on the current location thereof, shall, for all construction entitlement, building and safety code compliance, and similar purposes be allocated, and the owners, occupants, tenants, and invitees of each of them shall be credited with not more than 82 parking spaces within the area currently improved as a parking lot adjacent to the Building and Capistrano Plaza which is governed by the 1982 Lease ("Parking Lot") or, at the election of the Agency, in a downtown location which is functionally equivalent to the Parking Lot, in each case without cost, condition, or restriction. Further, at no time shall the City be permitted to (a) deny or limit any present or future use of the Building or any successor Building or improvements on the Footprint or of Capistrano Plaza or any successor buildings or improvements on the current location thereof on the basis of a lack of sufficient parking, or (b) to impose any costs or other conditions related to parking in support of uses in the Building or any successor Building or improvements on the Footprint or of Capistrano Plaza or any successor buildings or improvements on the current location thereof, during the term of the 1982 Lease unless in either such case any such uses shall require more than 82 parking spaces. (vi) The Building is included in the Building and Sites of Distinction List (the "List"). The List serves as a catalogue of structures and sites which are potentially eligible for inclusion on the City's "Inventory of Historical and Cultural Landmarks" when each such building and/or site meets all listing criteria and the property owner consents to inclusion. The List is strictly an honorary designation and imposes no restrictions nor conveys any benefits (see October 27, 1987 Cultural Heritage Commission Agenda Item on the "Buildings of Distinction"). 3 DOCSOCA931556v6A22299.0029 38483.000 7 \MCHOLMS\IR V \315673.3 05/27/03 9:53 AM 0 0 (c) Bertolino, for himself, his heirs, successors and assigns, hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement shall constitute a clarification of, and to the extent necessary, an amendment to, the 1982 Lease, in which the City hereby joins, to the effect that the Remainder Portion is a portion of the "premises" described in the 1982 Lease, and shall be governed in all respects by the 1982 Lease. Accordingly, upon payment of the sum set forth in subparagraph 2(a) and the completion of the conveyances described in subparagraph 2(b), above, the 1982 Lease will be deemed to be amended, clarified, and reformed as described in this subparagraph (c) and shall constitute a valid, legal and binding obligation of the parties thereto enforceable in accordance with its terms. (d) Bertolino and the City hereby agree that from and after the effective date of this Agreement, the 1982 Lease is further amended, modified and clarified to state that any and all references in the 1982 Lease or this Agreement to the "Footprint" shall mean the real property described on Exhibit G and depicted on Exhibit H hereto, and therefore the "Remaining Portion" shall mean and refer to all portions of Lot 4 not included within such legal description or shown on such depiction. The parties agree to take such further actions and execute such other documents as may be necessary in the future to allow the separate conveyance of the Footprint property, or to otherwise ensure that it is or will be a legal parcel, if necessary in order to comply with applicable law. (e) Upon payment of the sum set forth in subparagraph 2(a) and the completion of the conveyances described in subparagraph 2(b), above, the Agency shall be deemed current on all obligations under the 1971 Lease. 3. Effect of Agreement. This entire Agreement shall constitute full settlement and discharge of the referenced claims and the resulting dispute between Bertolino and Agency, and all parties represented by or claiming through them with respect to the matters set forth in Paragraph 1, above (the "Dispute"). Neither the fact of settlement nor anything in this Agreement shall constitute an admission of liability for any of such claims or portion of the Dispute. 4. Compromise Agreement. In further consideration of the promises provided for in this Agreement, the Parties hereby compromise and settle any and all past, present, or future claims, demands, obligations, or causes of action arising out of the operative facts of this dispute for compensatory or punitive damages, costs, losses, expenses, and compensation, whether based on tort, contract, statute, or other theories of recovery, which the Parties have against each other, their predecessors and successors in interest, heirs, and assigns, and the Parties' past, present, and future officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees, attorneys, parent and subsidiary organizations, affiliates, and partners, and agree that this compromise and settlement shall constitute a bar to all such claims which are included within the definition of the "Dispute". 5. Release and Discharge. In consideration of the promises provided for in this Agreement, the Parties hereby release and discharge each other, their predecessors and successors in interest, heirs, and assigns, and the Parties' past, present, and future officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees, attorneys, parent and subsidiary organizations, affiliates, and partners, from, and relinquishes any and all past, present, or future claims, demands, obligations, or causes of action arising out of the operative facts of the Dispute for, compensatory or punitive damages, costs, losses, expenses, and compensation, whether based on tort, contract, statute, or other theories of recovery, 4 DOCSOC\931556v6\22299.0029 3 W3.0001 W,CHOLMSURV X315673.3 05/27/03 9:55 AM which the Parties have ever had, or may now have, against each other included within the definition of the Dispute. 6.

Furthermore, each Party acknowledges that he intends these consequences even as to claims for damages that may exist as of the date of this release but which that Party does not know exists, and which, if known, would materially affect that Party's decision to execute this release, regardless of whether that Party's lack of knowledge is the result of ignorance, oversight, error, negligence, or any other cause. The release given by this Agreement shall be and remain in effect as a full and complete release notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different facts or the suffering of new or different damages or injury. 7. Warranties of Parties.
