customer demand. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Owner shall designate the Site on
its Sales Tax Statements as the point of sale for all sales transactions arising out of the business
conducted on the Site. In addition, Owner shall exercise commercially reasonable diligence in
an effort to cause each Affiliated Third Party to designate the Site (and the City of Newport
Beach) on reports they are required to file with the SBE as the situs of the construction
contract(s) for the Lexus Dealership or the leasing of any new or used motor vehicles where the
transaction is generated from the Site, as applicable.
3.2 Use Restriction. During the entire Operating Period, the Site shall not be put to
any use other than the operation of the Lexus Dealership and incidental related uses that comply
with the Entitlements and applicable provisions of City's Municipal Code.

3.3 maintenance and Repair of Site. During the entire Operating Period, Owner, at its
sole cost and expense, shall keep and maintain the Site and the improvements thereon and all
facilities appurtenant thereto in first class condition and repair and free from accumulations of
debris, weeds, graffiti, and waste materials, and with landscaping in a healthy condition. During
such period, Owner shall not abandon any portion of the Site or leave the Site unguarded or
unprotected, and shall not otherwise act or fail to act in such a way as to unreasonably increase
the risk of any damage to the Site or of' any other impairment of City's interest set forth in this
Covenant.
3.4 Compliance with Laws. During the entire Operating Period, Owner shall operate
the Lexus Dealership on the Site in conformity with all valid and applicable federal, state, and
local laws, ordinances, and regulations, provided that Owner does not waive its right to challenge
the validity or applicability thereof to Owner or the Site.
3.5 Government Code Section 53084 Compliance: Indemnification. Owner warrants
and represents to City that no other vehicle dealership owned or operated in whole or in part by
Owner or any person or entity affiliated with Owner will be "relocating" from another
jurisdiction in the "market area" to the City of Newport Beach within the meaning of California
Government Code Section 53084 as a result of Owner's activities pursuant to the Agreement or
this Covenant and, accordingly, that the Agreement and this Covenant will not result in a
violation of said statute. Owner agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold City and its officers,
employees, and agents free and harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, and
losses arising out of any violation or breach of the foregoing representation and warranty.
3.6 Provision of Sales Tax Statements to City. During the Operating Period, Owner
shall deliver and exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Affiliated Third Party to
deliver to City true and correct copies of all reports that Owner and such Affiliated Third Parties
file with the California State Board of Equalization ("SBE") with regard to taxable sales and
lease transactions occurring on and with respect to the Lexus Dealership construction and
operation on the Site (the "Sales Tax Statements"), each of which statements identifies the
amount of Sales Tax upon which the Covenant Payment amount should be calculated. Said
Sales Tax Statements shall be provided to City concurrently with their submittal to SBE. In
addition, if any such Sales Tax Statements are amended or Owner receives notice from SBE
regarding any over -reporting or under -reporting of Sales Tax with respect to the Site, Owner
shall provide such information to City within a reasonable period not to exceed thirty (30) days.
In the event that there is any private business or customer information on the Sales Tax
Statement that is not reasonably necessary to enable City to verify the accuracy thereof for
purposes of performing its obligations and enforcing its rights set forth in this Covenant, Owner
and the Affiliated Third Parties shall be permitted to redact such information from the copy of
the document provided to City. With respect to Sales Tax Statements to be obtained from
Affiliated Third Parties, it is understood that to the extent a Sales Tax Statement to be filed by an
Affiliated Third Party with the SBE contains information unrelated to the Lexus Dealership on
the Site the copy of such statement to be filed with City may be redacted to remove references to
information that is irrelevant to the purposes of this Agreement, so long as such statement is
sufficient to enable City to verify the Sales Tax attributable to the Lexus Dealership and the Site,
as reasonably determined by City. In addition, it is understood that in no event shall Owner be
deemed to be in Default hereunder if one or more Affiliated Third Parties fails to submit a
nxnrrsor-twos
-s-
satisfactory Sales Tax Statement or Statements to City; in such event, if City reasonably
determines it is unable to verify its receipt of Sales Tax attributable to such Affiliated Third Party
or the amount thereof its recourse shall simply be that it shall not be required to include any
unverified amounts in its calculation of Sales Tax for purposes of calculating the amount of the
Covenant Payment(s) due to Owner hereunder.
3.7 Non -Discrimination. In the development and operation of the Lexus Dealership
DW'W agrees not to violate applicable laws that prohibit discrimination against any person or
class of persons by reason of gender, marital status, race, color, creed, mental or physical
disability, religion, age, ancestry, or national origin.
4. OBLIGATIONS OF CITY.
4.1 Covenant Payments to Owner.
4.1.1 Amount at' Covenant Payments. In consideration for Owner's
undertakings pursuant to this Covenant and City's acquisition of the interest in the Site set forth
in this Covenant, City shall make Covenant Payments to Owner after the end of each Quarter
during the Operating Period in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Sales Tax for that
Quarter. It is understood and agreed that the Covenant Payments are in consideration of Owner's
performance during each Quarter of the Operating Period and are not repayments of a loan.
(a) Subject to subparagraph (b) below, the Covenant Payments with
respect to each Quarter shall be in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Sales Tax for
that Quarter.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Covenant to
the contrary, in no event shall the total amount of Covenant Payments made by City to Owner
exceed the sum of Nine Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($9,500,000) of assumed
"principal" plus imputed "interest" on the unpaid "principal" balance of said sum at the rate of
five percent (5%) per annum from April 28, 2005 (the date Owner closed escrow and acquired
the fee interest in the Site) until the entire amount of imputed interest and unpaid imputed
principal have been paid in full (the "Covenant Payments Cap Amount"). In this regard, it is
understood and agreed that the Covenant Payments are in consideration of Owner's performance
during each Quarter of the Operating Period and are not repayments of a loan.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Covenant to
the contrary, even in the event the Covenant Payments Cap Amount has not been reached at the
end of the Operating Period, City shall have no further obligation after that time to make
additional Covenant Payments.
4.1.2 Source of Payments. The Covenant Payments may be paid from any
source of funds legally available to City. In this regard, it is understood and agreed that the Sales
Tax that is generated from the construction and operation of the Lexus Dealership on the Site is
being used merely as a measure of the amount of the Covenant Payments that are periodically
owing by City to Owner and that City is not pledging any portion of the Sales Tax generated
from the Site to Owner.

• •
4.13 Payment Procedure. After the end of each Quarter during the Operating
Period, Owner shall deliver to City a copy of its Sales Tax Statement at the same time it delivers
the original Sales Tax Statement to the SBE and Owner shall exercise commercially reasonable
efforts to cause each Affiliated Third Party to do the same, all in accordance with the provisions
of Section 3.6 of this Covenant. In addition, if California law or regulations change after the
Effective Date with respect to the time or frequency for the filing of Sales Tax Statements, the
governmental entity with which Sales Tax Statements must be filed, or otherwise, this Covenant
automatically shall be deemed amended to conform to those changed procedures. Finally, if
after filing a Sales Tax Statement with respect to a particular Quarter Owner discovers that the
information set forth in said Sales Tax Statement was in error or the SBE notifies Owner that
said Sales Tax Statement was or could be in error, Owner shall notify City within a reasonable
time.
City shall exercise its best efforts to verify the amount of Sales Tax attributable to
the Site and City's receipt of payment from the SBE as soon as reasonably practicable after
City's receipt of a copy of each quarterly Sales Tax Statement from Owner and the Affiliated
Third Parties.
Not later than six (6) months after the end of the each Quarter during the
Operating Period, City shall pay the Covenant Payment for said Quarter to Owner. Each such
payment shall be accompanied by a statement identifying (i) the amount of Sales Tax upon
which the Covenant Payment amount was calculated, itemized separately for Owner and
Affiliated Third Parties; (ii) in the event the portion of Sales Tax attributable to taxable sales and
lease transactions that City uses as the basis for its Covenant Payment differs from the Sales Tax
Statements provided by Owner and the Affiliated Third Parties for said Quarter, a detailed
explanation of the reasons for the difference; and (iii) a cumulative total comparing how the
Covenant Payment in question, together with all prior Covenant Payments, relate to the
Covenant Payment Cap Amount.
It is understood that the amount of City's quarterly Covenant Payments to Owner
shall be based upon the amount of Sales Tax that City shall have been able to reasonably confirm
it actually has received from the SBE within fifteen (15) days prior to the applicable payment
date. If and to the extent that City has not been able to confirm receipt of Sales Tax revenues
prior to that date after and despite its exercise of reasonable diligence to do so, its subsequent
receipt of Sales Tax with respect to a particular Quarter shall be included in the next succeeding
payment(s) required to be made to Owner hereunder. In addition, if after any such quarterly
payment is made, either City or Owner obtains information that the amount of City's payment
was in error, the Party obtaining such information shall promptly notify the other Party and shall
provide such detailed information as may be necessary to explain the discrepancy. The
discrepancy then shall be taken into consideration by means of an adjustment to the next
quarterly payment to be made by City (either an additional payment in the event City has
underpaid a prior Covenant Payment that is due or a credit against the subsequent Covenant
Payment in the event City has overpaid); provided, however, that in the event an adjustment
needs to be made in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), the Party entitled to said sum
shall be entitled to deliver a written notice to the other Party requesting an immediate adjustment
and in such event the other Party shall make an appropriate payment within fifteen (15) days
from receipt of said notice.
nvoinoi-ours

4. I Books and Records. Upon the written request of either Party, the other
Party shall make available for inspection (at City Hall in the event of a review of City records
and at Owner's place of business in Orange County in the event of a review of Owner's records)
such of its books and records as the requesting Party may reasonably determine must be
reviewed in order determine whether the correct amount of Covenant Payments have been made
or are being made hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, City shall not be required to
produce any books or records that it is prohibited from producing by law and Owner shall not be
required to produce information that violates the privacy rights of individual customers. In
addition, the City shall have the right to audit such books and records of Owner once a year.
Such audit shall be at the City's sole cost and expense, provided, however, that if such audit
determines that the actual Sales Tax received by City is two percent (2%) or more less than that
reported by Owner, Owner shall reimburse City for such audit cost and expense.
4.1.5 No Acceleration: Prepayment. It is acknowledged by the Parties that
any payments by City provided for in this Covenant are in consideration for the performance by
Owner during the time period(s) for which payments are due. Therefore, City's failure to timely
make any payments or City's failure to perform any of its other obligations hereunder shall not
cause the acceleration of any anticipated future Covenant Payments by City to Owner. To the
maximum extent permitted by law, City shall be permitted to prepay any of the Covenant
Payments without penalty.
4.2 Additional Condition Precedent to City's Obligations. In addition to the
provisions set forth in Section 2 of this Covenant, City's obligation to make the Covenant
Payments pursuant to Section 4.1 of this Covenant for any Quarter during the Operating Period
shall be contingent and conditional upon Owner's performance of its obligations set forth in
Section 3 of this Covenant during such Quarter.
5. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.
5.1 Defaults.
(a ► Subject to Section 6.6 of this Covenant, the occurrence of any of
the following shall constitute a Default:
(i) the failure by either Party to perform any obligation of such
Party for the payment of money under this Covenant if such failure is not cured within
fifteen (15) calendar days after the nonperforming Party's receipt of written notice from
the other Party that such obligation was not performed when due; or
(ii) the failure by either Party to perform any of its obligations
(other than obligations described in clause (i) of this Section 5.1) set forth in this
Covenant, if such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days or, if such failure is of a
nature that cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, the failure by such Party to
commence such cure within thirty (30) days and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure
to completion; or
(iii) any representation or warranty by a Party set forth in this
Covenant proves to have been incorrect in any material respect when made; or
112/017301-0005
-R-
(iv) the Lexus Dealership is materially damaged or destroyed
by fire or other casualty during the Operating Period and Owner fails to commence
restoration of the improvements within a reasonable time or thereafter fails to diligently
proceed to complete such restoration in accordance with this Covenant; or
(v) Owner is enjoined or otherwise prohibited by any
governmental agency from occupying the Site during the Operating Period and such
injunction or prohibition continues unstayed for ninety (90) days or more for any reason.
(b) In the event Owner fails to perform any of its obligations under
this Covenant and City sends a notice of such failure to Owner, concurrently therewith City shall
send a copy of such notice to any mortgagee or deed of trust holder with respect to the Site
(herein the "Holder") (the name and address of which Holder shall be furnished by Owner or
such Holder to City) and thereafter the Holder shall have the same period of time as is available
to Owner to remedy such breach or failure under this Covenant. City shall accept any proper
cure of a breach or failure tendered by the Holder.
5.2 City's Remedies Upon Default by Owner. Upon the occurrence of any Default by
Owner, and after Owner's receipt of written notice of default and expiration of the time for
Owner to cure such Default as provided in Section 5.1, City may at its option:
(i) suspend the payment of Covenant Payments otherwise due
and payable to Owner hereunder for the period that Owner remains in Default. If City
has so suspended its payments in accordance with the terms of this clause (i), then upon
Owner's cure of such Default, City shall resume its payment obligations, but shall have
no obligation to make payments for any Quarter or portion thereof during which City's
obligation to make payments was so suspended; or
(ii) if the Default continues uninterrupted for a period of
one (1) year, City may terminate this Covenant, in which case City's obligation to make
payments to Owner for any period of time after the occurrence of the Default shall be
finally terminated and discharged.
In no event, however, shall City have the right to specifically enforce Owner's
covenants set forth in Section 3 of this Covenant, to prevent Owner's conversion of the Site to
another lawful use (even if such use would be inconsistent with this Covenant), or to sue Owner
or to recover from Owner any amount that is actually or allegedly attributable to loss of
anticipated Sales Tax or other revenues, whether because the amount of Sales Tax generated
from the Site is less than projected by Owner or City, or because Owner does not operate the
Lexus Dealership on the Site for the entire Operating Period, or otherwise.
5.3 Owner's Remedies Upon Default by Cite. Upon the occurrence of any Default by
City, and after City's receipt of written notice of Default from Owner and expiration of the time
for City to cure such Default as provided in Section 5.1, Owner may terminate this Covenant by
written notice to City and/or seek whatever legal or equitable remedies may be available to
Owner, subject to the provisions of Section 4.1.5.

5.4 Cunmlathe Remedies. No Waiver. Except as expressly provided herein, the
nondefaulting Party's rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and in addition to all rights
and remedies provided by law from time to time and the exercise by the nondefaulting Party of
any right or remedy shall not prejudice such Party in the exercise of any other right or remedy.
None of the provisions of this Covenant shall be considered waived by either Party except when
such waiver is delivered in writing. No waiver of any Default shall be implied from any
omission by City to take action on account of such Default if such Default persists or is repeated.
No waiver of any Default shall affect any Default other than the Default expressly waived, and
any such waiver shall be operative only for the time and to the extent stated. No waiver of any
provision of this Covenant shall be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same
provision. A Party's consent to or approval of any act by the other Party requiring firrther
consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the consenting Party's
consent to or approval of any subsequent act. A Party's acceptance of the late performance of
any obligation shall not constitute a waiver by such Party of the right to require prompt
performance of all further obligations. A Party's acceptance of any performance following the
sending or filing of any notice of Default shall not constitute a waiver of that Party's right to
proceed with the exercise of its remedies for any unfulfilled obligations. A Party's acceptance of
any partial performance shall not constitute a waiver by that Party of any rights relating to the
unfulfilled portion of the applicable obligation.
5.5 Limitations on City's Liability. Owner acknowledges and agrees that: (i) this
Covenant shall not be deemed or construed as creating a partnership, joint venture, or similar
association between Owner and City, the relationship between Owner and City pursuant to this
Covenant is and shall remain solely that of contracting Parties, and City neither undertakes nor
assumes any responsibility pursuant to this Covenant to review, inspect, supervise, approve, or
inform Owner of any matter in connection with the development or operation of the Lexus
Dealership on the Site other than as expressly provided for herein, including matters relating to
architects, designers, suppliers, or the materials used by any of them; and Owner shall rely
entirely on its own judgment with respect to such matters; provided, that nothing herein is
intended to release City from whatever obligations it may have pursuant to applicable laws
independent of this Covenant; (ii) by virtue of this Agreement, City shall not be directly or
indirectly liable or responsible for any loss or injury of any kind to any person or property
resulting from any construction on, or occupancy or use of, the Site (except to the extent
proximately caused by City's active negligence or intentional misconduct), whether arising from:
(a) any defect in any building, grading, landscaping, or other onsite or offsite improvement;
(b) any act or omission of Owner or any of Owner's agents, employees, independent contractors,
licensees, lessees, or invitees; or (c) any accident on the Site or any fire or other casualty or
hazard thereon; and (iii) by accepting or approving anything required to be performed or given to
City under this Covenant, including any certificate, survey, appraisal, or insurance policy, City
shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency or legal effect of the same,
and no such acceptance or approval shall constitute a warranty or representation by City to
anyone.
5.0 Litigation Expenses. In the event of any litigation or arbitration proceeding
arising out of or related to this Covenant, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its
reasonable litigation expenses in addition to whatever other relief to which it may be entitled,
including without limitation attorney's fees, expert witness fees, costs of investigation and
uvourrot-aoos
_1n-
discovery, and other costs, whether or not the same would be recoverable under California Code
of Civil Procedure Section 1033.5 in the absence of this Covenant.

respective successors and assigns. Owner shall be entitled to assign its right to receive the

operating the Lexus Dealership on the Site. In the event of an assignment for security purposes
to a Holder, City agrees that this Covenant be subordinated to the lien of said Holder's deed of
trust or mortgage and City agrees to cooperate with Owner in executing an appropriate
subordination agreement. In the event that the Holder forecloses on its deed of trust or mortgage

assignee, City agrees to enter into a new Covenant on the same terms and conditions set forth
herein for the balance of the Operating Period.

condition to its obligation to accept an assignment of the rights and obligations set forth in this
Covenant, City shall be entitled to require that the assignor and assignee execute an appropriate
assignment and assumption agreement in a form reasonably approved by the City Attorney of
City and in no event shall City be required to make any of the Covenant Payments to any person
or entity other than the fee owner of the Site unless and until such assignment and assumption
