are described in the legal description attached hereto as Exhibit A and depicted on the site map
attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Property is under City's jurisdiction and is located in North
Newport Center. The Property consists of the following sub - areas: portions of Newport Center
Block 500, Newport Center Block 600, portions of San Joaquin Plaza, and portions of Fashion
Island. No part of the Property is located in the coastal zone.
B. On September 14, 1992, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach ( "City Council ")
adopted Ordinance No. 92 -35, through which City and Landowner entered into the Circulation
Improvement and Open Space Agreement pertaining to twelve (12) parcels of real property
located in City, including the four parcels owned by Landowner in North Newport Center that
comprise the Property subject to this Agreement. City subsequently adopted the Amendment to
the Circulation Improvement and Open Space Agreement dated May 12, 1996. The original
Circulation Improvement and Open Space Agreement and the May 12, 1996 Amendment are
collectively referred to herein as the " CIOSA."
C. Under the CIOSA, Landowner:
(1) committed to road improvements adjacent to proposed projects, made an interest -free
loan to City, and pre -paid required fair share road improvement fees that City used as
matching funds when obtaining outside transportation funding; and
(2) committed to dedicating more public open space than required for the twelve (12)
parcels under the City of Newport Beach General Plan and the City of Newport Beach
Park Dedication Ordinance, as detailed in Exhibit C.
D. The CIOSA provided Landowner with certain building entitlements with respect to the
properties addressed therei a. Landowner has not utilized all of the building entitlements
provided by the CIOSA, including the building entitlements for Newport Center Block 600, as
detailed in Exhibit C.
E. Although Landowner did not utilize all of the building entitlements provided by the
CIOSA, it fulfilled all the public benefits listed in Recital C as if it had done so.
F. On November 10, 1997, the City Council adopted Ordinance 97 -77, through which City
and Landowner entered into the Bonita Canyon Annexation and Development Agreement
pertaining to the Bonita Canyon property (the "Bonita Canyon Development Agreement ").
Approximately concurrent to adoption of Ordinance 97 -77, the Bonita Canyon property was
detached from the City of Irvine and annexed by City.
G. Under the Bonita Canyon Development Agreement, Landowner:
(1) constructed roads and other circulation improvements designed for the capacity of a
larger project that had previously been approved by the City of Irvine;
(2) sold some of the land that it agreed not to develop to City for open space purposes and
cooperated in the formation of a community facilities district to provide funding to City

entitlements with respect to the properties addressed therein, which entitlements were to be
implemented through a Planned Community Development Plan. Landowner has not utilized all
of the building entitlements provided by the applicable development plan, as detailed in Exhibit
C.
1. Although Landowner did not utilize all of the building entitlements provided by the
Bonita Canyon Development Agreement, it fulfilled all the public benefits listed in Recital G as
if it had done so.

Landowner's remaining building entitlements under the CIOSA and the Bonita Canyon
Development Agreement. This Agreement provides for the rescission and cancellation of the
Landowner's remaining rights and obligations under the CIOSA and the Bonita Canyon
Development Agreement on the Operative Date (collectively, the "Cancellation ").

also ensures that zoning implementation and utilization of the building entitlements applicable to
the Property are consistent with the General Plan's standards for land use, housing, circulation,
open space, noise, safety, and conservation, and with the General Plan's goals of improving and
providing transportation infrastructure, parks, public services, open space, water resources, and
environmental resources. Notably, existing utility capacity, circulation infrastructure, and other

If Landowner sells any residential unit to a third party purchaser in other than a
bulk sale of all of the omits in a single residential building, then Landowner shall pay to
the City at the time of such sale of an individual residential unit the then applicable Park
Fee for construction of such unit, as may be in effect at that time within the City of
Newport Beach, less a credit for the amount of any per unit Park Fee previously paid to
City pursuant to Section 4.1 of this Agreement for such unit. Landowner's obligation to
pay such fee upon individual sale under this Agreement shall be described in a
memorandum and recorded against the title of each unit at the time that a subdivision
map creating the condominium unit is recorded by Landowner, in a form acceptable to
the City.
Pursuant to Section 4.3, the Property shall be subject to increases in the Fair Share
Traffic Fee made pursuant to the Initial Fee Increase. As to any subsequent increases in
Fair Share Traffic Fees, the Property shall be subject to the increases; provided, however,
that in no event shall Landowner's Fair Share Traffic Fee be increased by an amount that
exceeds the percentage increase in the California Department of Transportation
Construction Index from the date the Initial Fee Increase becomes effective to the date
the adjustment is made. if at any time the Engineering the California Department of
Transportation Construction Index is discontinned or no longer available, City shall
substitute an official index that is most nearly equivalent thereto.
This Agreement does not vest Landowner against increases in any other fees other
than Development Fees that are payable by Landowner, including without limitation the
Property Development Tax referred to in subparagraph (3) of Section 5.1.
6. Development of Property.
6.1 Applicable Regulations. Other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement,
during the Term of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of development applicable
to the Property, including but not limited to the permitted uses, the density and intensity
of use, and the maximum height, size, and location of proposed buildings, shall be those
set forth in the Development Regulations and this Agreement. The permitted uses,
density and intensity of development, and the maximum height, location, and size of
proposed buildings permitted under the Development Regulations conform with the
development studied and contemplated by the Final Environmental Impact Report for the
City of Newport Beach General Plan 2006 Update (State Clearingbonse No.
200601 l 1 19) and the North Newport Center Addendum to E1R for General Plan 2006
-16-
Update (State Clearinghouse No. 2006011119). During the Term of this Agreement, the
Development Fees applicable to the Property, and increases in said fees, shall be as set
forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, and 5.2. The affordable housing requirements applicable to
the Property shall be as set forth in the AH[P.
During the Term of this Agreement, City shall not prevent development of the
Property that is in compliance with the Development Regulations, or require the
Landowner to modify or redesign any building which complies with the Development
Regulations, regardless of whether City exercises the option to acquire the Option Site.
Landowner may apply to City for permits or approvals necessary to modify or
amend the development specified in the Development Regulations, provided that the
request does not propose an increase in the maximum density, intensity, height, or size of
proposed structures, or a change in use that generates more peak hour traffic or more
daily traffic and, in addition, Landowner may apply to City for 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.
City acknowledges that the Development Regulations provide a process for the
transfer of development rights among parcels within the Property, consistent with City's
General Plan Policy LU 6.14.3, and that if Landowner eliminates any of the existing uses
on the Property which are set forth in Exhibit G and the associated development rights,
Landowner shall retain the right to rebuild the use and development rights elsewhere on
the Property or transfer the development rights among parcels within the Property,
subject to and consistent with the Development Regulations and said policy.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time
during the Term of this Agreement, Landowner transfers a development right from a
building or buildings anywhere within the Property to any other building within the
Property, the building(s) from which the development right is transferred must be
demolished and cleared or transformed into an authorized non - habitable use that does not
count as development intensity under the General Plan before Landowner can obtain a
certificate of occupancy for the new building(s). Nothing set forth herein is intended to
prohibit or restrict the transfer of development rights elsewhere in Newport Center,
consistent with and subject to City's normal rules and regulations.
6.2 Landowner's Vested Rights. During the Term of this Agreement, except to the
extent City reserves its discretion as expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the
applicable Development Regulations, Landowner shall have the vested right to exercise
its discretion within the limits and constraints of the Development Regulations in
designing any buildings, structures, streets, sidewalks, buildings, and development within
the Property. City shall not exercise or require any design review approval for
Landowner's use of the Property unless expressly set forth in the Development
Regulations. Landowner acknowledges that the Development Regulations provide for a
design review process for the Property pursuant to which City has certain discretionary
17-
authority. In connection therewith, Landowner acknowledges that nothing in this
Agreement is intended to override any review and approval requirements contained in the
Development Regulations or to preclude City from the exercise of any discretionary
authority it has under the Development Regulations.
In addition to the foregoing, Landowner acknowledges and agrees that nothing
herein is intended to vest Landowner with any environmental approvals that may be
required in connection with the future development of the Property and Landowner must
submit and process and obtain the approval of all documentation and information
required to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public
Resources Code § 21000 et seq.) with regard to any development of the Property. The
Parties acknowledge that the environmental approvals for the improvements described in
Section 6.3 are being processed concurrently with this Agreement.
6.3 Project Components. During the Term of this Agreement, subject to any
approvals required under the Development Regulations, Landowner shall have a vested
right to develop the following improvements on the Property:
(1) 75,000 square feet in Fashion Island. This square footage will be available for
uses, including hotel and retail, that are consistent with the Development
Regulations.
(2) 430 residential units in Newport Center Block 500, Newport Center Block
600, or San Joaquin Plaza; provided, however, that to the extent Landowner
desires to develop any of said residential units in Newport Center Block 500 or
San Joaquin Plaza, it shall be required to comply with the Traffic Phasing
Ordinance.
(3) The transfer to Newport Center Block 500 of development rights for
development of approximately 277, 161 square feet currently assigned to Newport
Center Block 600 and designated for office, hotel, and supporting retail uses, of
which up to 72,000 square feet may be utilized by City for the City Hall building
to be situated on the Option Site if City exercises the Option. Upon transfer to
Newport Center Block 500, the development rights will be designated only for
uses permitted under the Development Regulations and, to the extent City
exercises the option to acquire the Option Site, for a City Hall on the Option Site.
The foregoing development and/or transfer of development rights will occur in new or
modified buildings that comply with the Development Regulations. Consistent with the
City of Newport Beach General Plan Policy LU 6.14.3, the transfer of the foregoing
development rights is consistent with the General Plan and will not result in any adverse
traffic impacts.
6.4 Police Power. In all respects not provided for in this Agreement, City shall retain
full rights to exercise its police power to regulate the development of the Property. Any
uses or developments requiring a use permit, tentative tract map, or other discretionary
permit or approval in accordance with the Development Regulations shall require a
permit or approval pursuant to this Agreement, and, notwithstanding any other provision
-18-
set forth herein, this Agreement is not intended to vest Landowner's right to the issuance
of such permit or approval nor to restrict City's exercise of discretion with respect
thereto. Not by way of limitation of the foregoing, it is specifically understood that City
reserves the right to amend, pursuant to procedures provided by law and this Agreement,
City laws, rules, regulations, and policies applicable to the Property as to which
Landowner's rights are not expressly vested and such amendment or amendments shall
be binding on the Property except to the extent that the same conflict with the express
provisions of this Agreement.
6.5 Time -Share Developments. If Landowner desires to establish time -share
developments within the Property in the future, Landowner shall be required to comply
with the City of Newport Beach Time -Share Developments Ordinance (City of Newport
Beach Municipal Code chapter 20.84), including the requirement for a separate
development agreement under the City of Newport Beach Municipal Code section
20.84.050. City retains its full discretion with respect to such matters, including without
limitation, the imposition of an in -lieu of transient occupancy tax fee in accordance with
section 20.84.050 of the Municipal Code, and nothing herein constitutes a promise or
commitment by City to approve such use or enter into any such development agreement.
6.6 Available Use in Newport Center Block 500 for City Hall Building. If a new City
Hall building is developed on the Option Site, the development intensity for the Property
available to Landowner will not be reduced by more than 72,000 square feet, regardless
of whether the size of the City Hall building exceeds 72,000 square feet. As of the date
of this Agreement, City intends that any new City Hall building constructed on the
Option Site will contain approximately 72,000 square feet of building area; provided,
however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit City from
constructing a smaller City Hall building or from constructing a larger building so long as
such building maintains the minimum parking ratio provided for in Section 4.8. If City
acquires the Option Site, City shall be responsible for conducting a traffic analysis and
providing traffic mitigation if required to comply with the Traffic Phasing Ordinance
with respect to the construction of a City Hall building on the Option Site. City
acknowledges and agreed that Landowner shall not be responsible for the payment of any
fees for any development by City on the Option Site.
6.7 Available Use in Newport Center Block 500 if City Does Not Develop a City Hall
OD the Option Site. If City does not exercise the option to acquire the Option Site during
the Option Period, then the 72,000 square feet of development intensity available to
Landowner that otherwise would have been utilized on the Option Site shall remain part
of the development intensity designated for office use in Newport Center Block 500, to
which Landowner has an exclusive vested right in accordance with this Agreement. In
addition, if City acquires the Option Site and the City Hall building developed on the
Option Site is less than 72,000 square feet, then the unused square footage remains part
of the development intensity designated for office use in Newport Center Block 500 and
to which Landowner has an exclusive vested right in accordance with this Agreement. If
City does not exercise the option to acquire the Option Site during the Option Period,
then Landowner shall be responsible for conducting a traffic analysis and providing
traffic mitigation with the Traffic Phasing Ordinance and paying applicable Fair Share
_19_
Traffic Fees with regard to the 72,000 square feet of development intensity referred to
herein.
6.8 Effect of Agreement on Applications for Land Use Approvals. In connection
with any approval that City is required, permitted, or has the right to give relating to the
Project, or otherwise under its ordinances, resolutions, and codes, including without
limitation the approval of a tentative tract map under the Subdivision Map Act
(California Government Code sections 66410 - 66499.58), City shall not impose any
condition or restriction that prevents Landowner from developing and subdividing the
Property with the uses, density, intensity, maximum height, and size of proposed
structures permitted by the Development Regulations. Subject to review for
completeness, City shall accept for processing and shall timely review and act on all
applications for further land use entitlement approvals with respect to the Project called
for or required under this Agreement. Unless expressly required by the Subdivision Map
Act, the Development Regulations, or overriding federal or state law, City in considering
any proposed tentative tract map shall not require any decrease or increase in density,
intensity, size, relocation, or setback of a proposed development or require any
modification of the design of any buildings, condominiums, parcels, units, or other uses
located in the proposed subdivision.
6.9 Mello -Roos Community Facilities District. Pursuant to the Mello -Roos
Community Facilities Act of 1982 (California Government Code sections 53311-
53368.3), Landowner may petition the City Council to establish one or more community
facilities districts including some or all of the Property for the purpose of financing
Landowner's obligations under this Agreement. City shall have the sole discretion to
determine whether to establish a community facilities district, the improvements to be
financed, and the method of financing these improvements.
6.10 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 any ordinance, policy, rule, regulation, or other measure relating to
development of the Project that is enacted or becomes effective after the Effective Date to
the extent it conflicts with this Agreement. This Section 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 8. 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 City 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 Landowner shall
have the vested right to develop the Property at the rate, timing, and sequencing that
Landowner deems appropriate within the exercise of Landowner'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 Effective Date. No City moratorium or
-20-
other similar limitation relating to the rate, timing, or sequencing of the development or
construction 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 Landowner's vested rights in this Agreement or otherwise
conflicts with the express provisions of this Agreement.
6.11 Benefits to Landowner. Landowner has expended and will continue to expend
substantial amounts of time and money on the planning of the Project and construction of
infrastructure for and in conjunction with the Project. Landowner represents and City
acknowledges that Landowner would not make these expenditures without this
Agreement, and that Landowner makes these expenditures in reliance upon this
Agreement. A benefit to Landowner under this Agreement is the assurance that
Landowner will preserve the right to develop the Property in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. City acknowledges that Landowner will be investing money and
planning efforts in the Project in reliance on City's covenants and representations in this
Agreement. City agrees that Landowner may reasonably and justifiably rely on City's
covenants and representations in this Agreement and on the enforceability of this
Agreement.
6.12 Tentative Subdivision Mans. City agrees that Landowner may file and process
new and existing vesting tentative maps for the Property consistent with California
Government Code sections 66498.1 - 66498.9 and City of Newport Beach Municipal Code
chapter 19.20. Pursuant to the applicable provision of the California Subdivision Map
Act (California Government Code section 66452.6(a)), any tentative subdivision map
approved for the Property, whether designated a "vesting tentative map" or otherwise,
shall be extended for the Term of this Agreement.
6.13 Compliance with California Government Code Section 65897.5(c) on Water
Sumly. Pursuant to California Government Code section 65897.5(c), the tentative map
prepared for any subdivision of the Property shall comply with the provisions of
California Government Code section 66473.7 relating to the availability of water supply,
as enacted as of the Effective Date.
6.14 Cancellation of CIOSA and Bonita Canyon Development Agreement. Pursuant to
the ordinance adopted by the City Council approving this Agreement, the CIOSA and the
Bonita Canyon Development Agreement shall automatically terminate on the Operative
Date ( "Cancellation "). Within ten (10) days after the Operative Date, the Parties shall
coo;)erate in executing and recording against the properties owned by Landowner that are
encumbered by the CIOSA and the Bonita Canyon Development Agreement a written
instrument memorializing the termination of said agreements in such form as to permit
the agreements to be removed as encumbrances upon title. The Cancellation shall not
affect the rights and obligations of any third parties under the CIOSA or the Bonita
Canyon Development Agreement.
6.15 No Payments Due from Cih . The Parties acknowledge that City is not required
to make any reimbursement payments to Landowner and that no funding is otherwise due
-21-
from City to Landowner for improvements made by or at the direction of Landowner to
Back Bay View Park, located at Jamboree Road and Pacific Coast Highway.
Compliance with Traffic Phasing Ordinance.
7.1 Scope of Traffic Study. The traffic study prepared in conjunction with this
Agreement covers all development authorized by this Agreement (including new
development and replacement development for existing buildings that may be
demolished), with the exception of (i) construction of a City Hall building in Newport
Center Block 500 if and to the extent that City is required to comply with the Traffic
Phasing Ordinance if City exercises the option to acquire the Option Site and construct
the City Hall building thereon, (ii) construction of any residential units in Newport Center
Block 500 or San Joaquin Plaza, and (iii) the development by Landowner of 72,000
square feet of office space within Newport Center Block 500 (if City does not acquire the
Option Site and the development rights to said site revert to Landowner, as provided
herein).
7.2 Sufficiency of Traffic Study. City acknowledges that the traffic study for the
Property prepared prior to the Effective Date satisfies the provisions of the Traffic
Phasing Ordinance. Specifically, City acknowledges that the traffic study establishes that
the project considered in the traffic study meets the requirements for a Comprehensive
Phased Land Use Development and Circulation System Improvement Plan with all
phases not anticipated to be complete within 60 months of project approval and subject to
a development agreement that requires circulation improvements, as defined in City of
Newport Beach Municipal Code section 15.40.030(B)(2). With the exception of the need
for traffic studies for the three items listed in Section 7. 1, City shall not require any
additional traffic studies in conjunction with any application for approvals or permits
necessary to construct development authorized by this Agreement as long as the
application is consistent with the provisions of this Agreement and the relevant
Development Regulations.
7.3 Circulation Improvements No later than the earlier of the date City issues the
certificate of occupancy for any new development under the First Building Permit (but
specifically excluding the building permit for the Parking Structure), or (ii) that date that
is sixty (60) months after the Operative Date, Landowner shall, in compliance with all
City requirements, complete construction of a third eastbound left turn lane at the
intersection of MacArthur Boulevard and San Joaquin Hills Road, to mitigate traffic
impacts pursuant to the Traffic Phasing Ordinance.
8. Reservations of Authority. Notwithstanding any provisions set forth in this Agreement to
the contrary, the laws, rules, regulations, and official policies set forth in this Section 8
shall apply to and govern the development of the Property.
8.1 Procedural Regulations. Procedural regulations relating to hearing bodies,
petitions, applications, notices, findings, records, hearings, reports, recommendations,
appeals, and any other matter of procedure, provided that they are adopted and applied
City-wide or to all other properties similarly situated in City.
-22-
8.2 Consistent Future City Regulations. City ordinances, resolutions, regulations, and
official policies governing development and building which do not conflict with the
Development Regulations, or with respect to such regulations that do conflict, where
Landowner has consented in writing to the regulations.
8.3 Overriding Federal and State Laws and Regulations. Federal and state laws and
regulations that override Landowner'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 overriding federal
and state laws and regulations, provided that:
(1) Landowner does not waive its right to challenge or contest the validity of any
such federal, state, or local laws, regulations, or official policies; and
(2) Upon the discovery of a federal or state law or regulation (or City ordinance,
resolution, regulation, or official policy undertaken pursuant to those laws and
regulations), that prevents or precludes compliance with any provision of this
Agreement, City or Landowner shall provide the other Party with written notice
of the state or federal law or regulation, provide a copy of the law or regulation,
and a written statement of conflict(s) with the provisions of this Agreement.
Promptly thereafter City and Landowner 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 federal or state
law or regulation. In such negotiations, City and Landowner agree to preserve the
terms of this Agreement and the rights of Landowner as derived from this
Agreement to the maximum feasible extent while resolving the conflict. City
agrees to cooperate with Landowner at no cost to City in resolving the conflict in
a manner which minimizes any financial impact of the conflict upon Landowner.
City also agrees to process in a prompt manner Landowner's proposed changes to
the Project and any of the Development Regulations as may be necessary to
comply with such federal or state law; provided, however, that the approval of
such changes by City shall be subject to the discretion of City, consistent with this
Agreement.
8.4 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 community from conditions dangerous to their health or safety shall apply to
the Property, even though the application of the ordinance, resolution, rule regulation,
program, or official policy would result in the impairment of Landowner's vested rights
under this Agreement.
8.5 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.
8.6 Public Works Improvements. To the extent Landowner constructs or installs
public works or facilities, the City standards in effect for such public works or facilities at
-23-
the time of City's issuance of a permit, license, or other authorization for construction or
installation of same shall apply.
9. Utility Capacity. With respect to utility services provided by an entity other than City, in
the event of a reduction of interruption of said service by the utility provider, City shall require
no greater reduction in utility service to any parcel of the Property than the general provider of
the service requires. Nothing in this Agreement limits City's ability to impose reasonable
conditions on any future development or building permits or approvals that require Landowner to
install utility lines and appurtenances servicing the Property. City shall not take any action to
obstruct development on the Property on the basis of utility capacity, provided that City is not
guaranteeing water supply or the Orange County Sanitation District's ability to provide
wastewater treatment services for new development planned for the Property.
If, as a result of City Action and after Landowner has paid the Initial Park Fee
and/or Initial Public Benefit Fee to City, sufficient sewer and water hookups, water supplies, and
sewage treatment capacity ( "Sewer and Water Service ") is not available to allow building
permits and/or certificates of occupancy to be issued for construction or occupancy of the
residential units authorized for development under this Agreement, City shall refund to
Landowner the per unit fee ($26,046.51 and /or $63,000) for each such residential unit. As used
herein, the term "City Action" shall mean affirmative action taken by City to reduce the Sewer
and Water Service currently available, and shall not include any action or event that is outside
City's control, including without limitation, any action taken or regulation adopted by any other
governmental agency or City ordinances, resolutions, regulations, and official policies that are
necessary to enable City to comply with any overriding federal or state laws and regulations.
The refunds referred to in this Section shall be made at the time Landowner is otherwise entitled
to issuance of the building permit or certificate of occupancy, whichever is applicable, and City
is not able to issue the permit because of the City Action taken.
10. Project as Private Undertaking. The development of the Project is a private undertaking.
Neither Party is acting as the agent of the other in any respect, and each Party is an independent
contracting entity with respect to the terms, covenants, and conditions contained 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 of the property.
11. Effective Date and Operative Date of Agreement; Term. This Agreement shall become
effective on the thirty -first (31") day following the City Council's adoption of its ordinance
approving this Agreement or such other date that the ordinance becomes effective by applicable
law ( "Effective Date ").
Notwithstanding the forgoing, this Agreement shall not become operative and neither
Party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder, with the exception of the obligations in
Section 4.8 to execute the Option Agreement and to negotiate the agreements to implement the
Parking Structure Provisions, until the "Operative Date," which for purposes of this Agreement
shall mean the latest of the following dates: (i) the date the AHIP becomes operative after
approval or adoption by the City Council; (ii) the date the Development Plan becomes operative
after approval or adoption by the City Council; (iii) the date the Design Regulations become
operative after approval or adoption by the City Council; (iv) the date the Transfer of
4-
Development Rights Resolution becomes operative after approval or adoption by the City
Council; or (v) the date the time period for appealing or challenging this Agreement, the AHIP,
the Development Plan, the Design Regulations, the Transfer of Development Rights Resolution,
and the environmental documents approved by City in connection with all of said agreements
and land use approvals has expired with no challenge having been timely filed or, if any such
challenge is timely filed, the date such action is concluded and the validity of the agreement or
regulation that was the subject of the challenge is upheld. The Parties shall have the right to
make this Agreement become operative while litigation is pending upon mutual agreement of the
Parties in writing in the sole and absolute discretion of each of them, in which case the date
agreed upon by the Parties shall be the Operative Date. The Parties shall cooperate by executing
in recordable form an appropriate memorandum providing notice of the occurrence of the
Operative Date as soon as the Operative Date has occurred.
The Parties acknowledge that the resolutions and ordinances adopting the AHIP, the
Development Plan, the Design Regulations, and the Transfer of Development Rights provide that
the foregoing plans and regulations do not become operative until the Operative Date of this
Agreement.
If this Agreement, the AHIP, the Development Plan, the Design Regulations or the
Transfer of Development Rights are challenged and the applicable agreement or regulation is not
upheld at the conclusion of the action, and the Operative Date has not otherwise occurred by
mutual agreement by the parties in accordance with clause (v) of the first sentence of the second
paragraph of this Section 11, either Party not then in default may, by delivery of written notice to
the other Party, terminate this Agreement, in which event neither Party shall have any further
rights or obligations hereunder, the AHIP, the Development Plan, the Design Regulations, and
the Transfer of Development Rights shall be null and void, and the Parties shall execute and
record against the Property a written instrument memorializing the termination of this Agreement
in such form as to permit this Agreement to be removed as an encumbrance upon title to the
Property.
The term of this Agreement ( "Term") shall commence on the Operative Date and shall
continue thereafter until the earlier of the following: (i) the date that is twenty (20) years after
the Effective Date; or (ii) the date this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Sections 12 or 15.1.
12. Amendment or Cancellation of Agreement. Other than modifications of this Agreement
under Section 8.3, 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 City of Newport Beach Municipal Code section 15.45.060 or by
unilateral termination by Cif y in the event of an uncured default of Owner.
13. Enforcement. Unless amended or canceled as provided in Section 12, or modified or
suspended pursuant to California Government Code section 65869.5, this Agreement is
enforceable by either Parry 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.
-25-
14. Periodic Review of Compliance. The Parties shall review this Agreement at least once
every 12 months from the Operative Date consistent with California Government Code sections
65865 and 65865.1 and City of Newport Beach Municipal Code section 15.45.070. At the
reviews, Landowner shall demonstrate its good faith compliance with this Agreement and shall
document the current status of its entitlement use and its provision of the public benefits referred
to in Section 4 of this Agreement. Landowner also agrees to furnish evidence of good faith
compliance as City may require in the reasonable exercise of its discretion and after reasonable
notice to Landowner.
15. Events of Default.
15.1 Default by Landowner. Pursuant to California Government Code section
65865. 1, if City determines following a noticed public bearing and on the basis of
substantial evidence that Landowner has not complied in good faith with Landowner's
obligations pursuant to this Agreement, City shall by written notice to Landowner specify
the manner in which Landowner has failed to comply and state the steps Landowner must
take to bring itself into compliance. If Landowner does not commence all steps
reasonably necessary to bring itself into compliance as required and diligently pursue
steps to completion within 30 days after receipt of the written notice from City specifying
the manner in which Landowner has failed to comply, then Landowner shall be deemed
to be in default under the terms of this Agreement. City may then: (1) seek a
modification of this Agreement, or (2) seek any other available remedies as provided in
Section 15.3.
15.2 Defaulter City. If City has not complied with any of its obligations and
limitations under this Agreement, Landowner shall by written notice to City specify the
manner in which City has failed to comply and state the steps necessary for City to bring
itself into compliance. If City does not commence all steps reasonably necessary to bring
itself into compliance as required and diligently pursue steps to completion within 30
days after receipt of the written notice from Landowner specifying the manner in which
City has failed to comply, then City shall be deemed to be in default under the terms of
this Agreement. City may then: (1) seek a modification of this Agreement, (2) terminate
this Agreement, or (3) seek a specific performance or similar equitable remedy as
provided in Section 153. Except as provided below, if City adopts or enforces any
moratorium, de facto or de jure, or other similar limitation (whether relating to the rate,
timing, or sequencing of the development or construction of all or any part of the Project
and whether enacted by initiative or otherwise) affecting the processing or approval of
subdivision maps, building permits, occupancy certificates, or other entitlement to use
which is applied to the Project, then Landowner may immediately seek a modification of
this Agreement, terminate this Agreement, or seek any other available remedy as
provided in Section 15.3. City shall not be in default pursuant to this Section if:
(1) It adopts a temporary City -wide moratorium on development due to its
inability to supply sufficient water, sewer or other utilities to then - current
customers as necessary to maintain minimum levels of health, safety, and

plan identified in Section 8.3; or
(3) The enactment of the moratorium or other limitation is the result of a court
order.
15.3 Specific Performance and Damages Remedies. Due to the size, nature, and scope
of the Project and the potential impracticality or impossibility of restoring the Property to
its natural condition once implementation of this Agreement has begun, the Parties
acknowledge that, except as provided in this Section and in Section 15.4, money damages
and remedies at law generally are inadequate and that specific performance is appropriate
for the enforcement of this Agreement. The remedy of specific performance or, in the
alternative, a writ of mandate, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to either
Party in the event of the default or alleged default by the other, with the exception that
City shall be entitled to damages against Landowner for Landowner's breach or its
obligations under Sections 18 or 19 of this Agreement. The limitations on the remedy of
damages in this Agreement shall not prevent City from enforcing Landowner's monetary
obligations hereunder.
15.4 Limited Recovery of Legal Expenses by Prevailing Party in Any Action. In any
judicial proceeding, arbitration, or mediation (collectively, "Action ') between the Parties that
seeks to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall recover all of its
actual and reasonable costs and expenses, regardless of whether they would be recoverable under
California Code of Civil Procedure section 1033.5 or Civil Code section 1717 in the absence of
this Agreement. These costs and expenses include expert witness fees, attorneys' fees, and costs
of investigation and preparation before initiation of the Action. The right to recover these costs
and expenses shall accrue upon initiation of the Action, regardless of whether the Action is
prosecuted to a final judgment or decision.
16. Cooperation. Each Party covenants to take reasonable actions and execute all documents
that may be necessary to achieve the purposes and objectives of this Agreement.
17. Force Majeure. Neither 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 Cod,
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.
18. Indemnity. Landowner agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City, City's
designee, and their respective elected and appointed councils, boards, commissions, officers,
agents, and employees from all actions, suits, claims, liabilities, losses, damages, penalties,
obligations, and expenses (including but not limited to attorneys' fees and costs) that may arise,
directly or indirectly, from the acts, omissions, or operations of the Landowner or Landowner's
agents, contractors, subcontractors, agents, or employees pursuant to this Agreement. City shall
have the right to select and retain counsel to defend any actions, and Landowner shall pay the
-27-
reasonable cost for this defense. The indemnity provisions in this Section shall survive
termination of this Agreement.
19. Third Party Legal Challenge. if a third party brings a legal action challenging the validity
or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement or the Project approvals under the
Development Regulations ( "Third Party Legal Challenge "), City shall defend the Third Party
Legal Challenge, and Landowner shall be responsible for the reasonable legal expenses incurred
by City in connection with the challenge. As long as Landowner is not in default under this
Agreement, City shall not allow any default or judgment to be taken against it or compromise the
defense of the action without Landowner's prior written approval. Landowner shall also have
the right to settle a Third Party Legal Challenge, provided that nothing in this Agreement shall
authorize Landowner to settle the Third Party Legal Challenge on terms that would constitute an
amendment or modification of this Agreement or the AHIP, the Development Plan, the Design
Regulations, or the Transfer of Development Rights Resolution unless City approves the
amendment or modification consistent with applicable legal requirements. City reserves its full
legislative discretion to make this approval.
20. Mortgagee Rights.
20.1 Encumbrances on Property. The Parties agree that this Agreement shall not
prevent or limit Landowner 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.
20.2 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.
20.3 Mortgagee Not Obli ag ted. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, a
Mortgagee will not have any obligation or duty under the terms of this Agreement to
perform the obligations of Landowner or other affirmative covenants of Landowner, or to
guarantee this performance except that:
(1) The P.4ortgagee shall have no right to develop the Property under the
Development Regulations without fully complying with the terms of this
Agreement; and
(2) To the extent that any covenant to be performed by Landowner is a condition
to the performance of a covenant by City, that performance shall continue to be a
condition precedent to City's performance.
20.4 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:
_28_
(1) The results of the periodic review of compliance specified in Section 14, and
(2) Any default by Landowner of its obligations set forth in this Agreement.
Each Mortgagee shall have a further right, but not an obligation, to cure the default
within 10 days after receiving notice of monetary defaults and within 30 days after
receiving notice of non - monetary defaults. If Mortgagee can only remedy or cure the
default by obtaining possession of the Property, then 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 default within 30 days after obtaining possession. Except in
case of emergency or to protect the public health or safety, City may not exercise any of
its judicial remedies set forth in this Agreement until expiration of the 30 -day period. But
in the case of a default that cannot with diligence be remedied or cured within 30 days,
the Mortgagee shall have additional time as is reasonably necessary to remedy or cure the
default, provided Mortgagee promptly commences to cure the default within 30 days and
diligently prosecutes the cure to completion. Landowner shall not be released from
performing its obligations in Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement in the event of a
foreclosure by a Mortgagee.
21. Transfers and Assignments.
21.1 Right to Assign. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 21.1, Landowner
shall have the right to sell, lease, transfer, or assign the Property in whole or in part to any
person, partnership, joint venture, firm, or corporation at any time during the Term of this
Agreement without the consent of City, provided that no partial transfer shall violate the
Subdivision Map Act (California Government Code sections 66410- 66499.58). Upon the
effective date of any such sale, lease, transfer or assignment of the Property, the
transferor /assignor shall notify of the name and address of the transferee. Any
assignment of this Agreement must be pursuant to a sale or transfer of the Property. Any
sale or transfer of the Property shall include the assignment and assumption of the rights,
duties, and obligations arising from this Agreement to the transferee with respect to that
part of the Property transferred. Landowner shall no longer be obligated under this
Agreement for the part of the Property that was sold or transferred if Landowner is not in
default under this Agreement at the time of the sale or transfer. In no event, however,
shall Landowner be relieved from its obligations under this Agreement to pay the Public
Benefit Fee, Park Fees, and Fair Share Traffic Fees or to fulfill its obligations under
Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the
date of this Agreement, Landowner shall not have the right to sell, lease, transfer, or
assign (i) the Option Site until the e) piration of the Option Period without City having
elected to exercise the option to acquire the Option Site, or (ii) the Parking Structure Site
until the expiration of the Option Period without City having elected to exercise the
option, or if City does exercise the Option, until the construction of the Parking Structure
is complete and the Parking Structure is operational.

OPTION AGREEMENT
This OPTION AGREEMENT ( "Agreement') is entered into as of this _ day of
December , 2007, by and between THE IRVINE COMPANY LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, successor -in- interest to The Irvine Company, a Michigan corporation
( "Optionor "), and the CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, a California municipal corporation
("City ").
RECITALS
A. Optionor is the owner of that certain real property located in the City of Newport
Beach, County of Orange, State of California, consisting of approximately 46,175 square feet of
land area more particularly described in the legal description attached hereto as Exhibit "1" and
depicted on the Site Map attached hereto as Exhibit "2 ", and the property adjacent to said
property (collectively, the "Parcel').
B. Optionor and City desire to enter into this Agreement to provide for Optionor to
grant to City and City to obtain from Optionor, upon the terms set forth in this Agreement, an
option to purchase a portion of the Parcel not to exceed 54,000 square feet of net land area, the
boundaries of which shall be established by City in accordance with this Agreement, together
with all improvements thereon, all easements, licenses, and interests appurtenant thereto, and all
development rights, governmental approvals, and land entitlements, owned or held by Optionor
in connection with the Land (collectively, the "Property ").
C. City and Optionor are entering into this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.8.1 of
that certain Zoning Implementation and Public Benefit Agreement between City and Optionor
dated December 18, 2007 ( "Development Agreement').
AGREEMENT
Based upon the foregoing Recitals, which are incorporated herein by this reference, and
for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged by both parties, Optionor and City agree as follows:
OPTION TO ACQUIRE.
L l Survey; Legal Description of Land; Compliance with Subdivision Map Act. City
shall have the right to establish the boundaries of the Property within the Parcel provided that the
Land shall not exceed 54,000 square feet of net land area (as defined in Section 2). Within sixty
(60) days after the date of this Agreement, City shall notify Optionor of the land area that City
has determined will comprise the Property through an exhibit depicting the Property boundaries
and, within thirty (30) days thereafter, Optionor shall obtain and deliver to City a current survey
of the Property ( "Survey') prepared by a licensed civil engineer or registered surveyor in
accordance with the current ALTA /ACSM standards, and shall be certified to City, Optionor,
and First American Title Company ( "Title Company'). The Survey shall establish both the gross
land area and net land area of the Property for purposes of confirming the Purchase Price
pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement. As used herein, the term "net land area" shall mean the
gross land area of the Property excluding any areas that have been dedicated to City for road or

sidewalk purposes (i.e., if the legal parcel in which the Property is situated includes the half
width of the abutting street). In addition, the Survey shall show a metes and bounds description
of the Property, consistent with the description provided by City, and shall show all easements
encumbering and easements appurtenant to the Property, visible or recorded, and roads and other
means of physical and record ingress and egress to and from the Property. Within thirty (30)
days after City's receipt of the Survey, City shall deliver written notice to Optionor approving or
disapproving the same. In the event that City disapproves the Survey, said disapproval shall
identify in detail any changes that are required to be made in order to obtain City's approval
thereof and Optionor shall promptly make said changes, provided that the land area of the Land
as described in the metes and bounds description shall be consistent with the land area depicted
on the Site Map. Upon City's approval of the Survey, the term "Property" as used in this
Agreement shall mean the land described in the approved metes and bounds description. City's
approval of the Survey shall be for the purpose of establishing the metes and bounds description
of the Property and the net land area for purposes of establishing the Purchase Price in
accordance with Section 2, and shall not constitute City's approval of any easements or
encumbrances on the Property.
The parties acknowledge that the Property is not an existing "legal lot" under the
Subdivision Map Act. Accordingly, promptly following the approval of the Survey, Optionor
and City shall take such steps as may be appropriate to effect such lot line adjustments as
reasonably may be proposed by Optionor or City to (a) establish and/or confirm that the
Property, as described and approved per the Survey, thereafter shall consist exclusively of one or
more legal lots under the Subdivision Map Act, and (b) establish and/or confirm that any
property adjoining the Land and retained by Optionor (any such property, the "Retained
Property"), including any property that remains from a former legal lot after adjustments of
boundary lines so as to establish the Property, thereafter shall consist exclusively of one or more
legal lots under the Subdivision Map Act. At the request of Optionor and subject to any public
review process, such steps may include any actions that reasonably may be required of City, at
no cost to City, in order to establish or confirm that the Retained Property shall be in compliance
with the Subdivision Map Act (e.g., the issuance by City of a certificate of compliance with
respect to the Retained Property). The completion of the above described steps in accordance
with applicable law sometimes is referred to herein as the "Subdivision Map Act Condition."
Optionor acknowledges that minor boundary adjustments may need to be made to the
existing rights -of -way within the vicinity of the Property in order to accommodate the creation of
the Property as a separate parcel and the construction of a City Hall thereon, and Optionor shall,
within thirty (30) days after written request by City, dedicate to City the rights -of -way necessary
to accommodate said boundary adjustments.
12 Grant of Option. Optionor hereby grants to City an option to purchase the
Property upon all of the terms, covenants, and conditions contained in this Agreement ( "Option ")
and in the Escrow Instructions to be executed in accordance with Section 1.5 below. The Option
created hereby shall be irrevocable by Optionor and shall be binding upon the successors and
assigns of Optionor. Optionor's granting of the Option to City shall be in consideration of City's
performance of its obligations set forth in that certain Zoning Implementation and Public Benefit
Agreement between Optionor and City dated December 18, 2007 (the "Development
Agreement "), and City shall not be required to pay any option fee, or pay or provide any other

consideration or purchase price for the Option. Optionee hereby represents and warrants to
Optionor that the Development Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by City, that all
steps and approvals have been taken and obtained under applicable law in order for the
Development Agreement to become effective and to become the binding obligation of City, and
that the Development Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of City, fully
enforceable against City in accordance with its terms.
1.3 Option Period. The term of this Option ( "Option Period ") shall commence on the
date of this Agreement and expire on the earliest of the following dates: (i) the date that is 48
months after the Operative Date; (ii) upon City's termination of this Agreement by delivery of
written notice of termination to Optionor, which notice City shall have the right to deliver at any
time during the Option Period prior to City's exercise of the Option; (iii) the date City's
electorate approves and City implements an initiative restricting the location of a new City Hall
building to a site outside of Newport Center Block 500, with such initiative to be deemed
implemented upon the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for a City Hall building at that site;
or (iv) if the Development Agreement does not become operative in accordance with the terms
set forth in Section l l of the Development Agreement and the Development Agreement is
terminated in accordance with the second to last paragraph of Section 11, then on the date of
such termination.
1.4 Conditions to Exercise of Option. City's right to exercise the Option shall be
subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) the Operative Date under the
Development Agreement shall have occurred, and (ii) City shall have awarded a contract for the
construction of a new City Hall on the Option Site.
1.5 Manner of Exercise of Option. In the event this Agreement has not earlier
terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.3 above, City shall have the right to exercise
the Option during the Option Period by delivering to Optionor or Optionor's counsel written
notice of City's election to acquire the Property, together with three (3) originals of the
Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Real Property and Escrow Instructions in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit "4" ( "Escrow Instructions "), with each original of said Escrow Instructions
fully executed by City. Optionor shall thereupon promptly execute the Escrow Instructions, with
Section 6 initialed in the space provided for the Seller's initials, and deliver, within seven (7)
days after receipt thereof, one fully executed original to City and one fully executed original to
First American Title Company at its offices located at 2 First American Way, Santa Ana, CA
92707 ("Escrow Holder "), and shall retain one fully executed original for Optionor's records.
Thereafter, Optionor and City shall cooperate in executing any additional and supplemental
escrow instructions as may be required by the Escrow Holder to perform its duties with respect
to the escrow, provided that in the event of any conflict between the form of Escrow Holder's
standard escrow instructions and the Escrow Instructions, the Escrow Instructions shall govern.
The date that the Escrow Instructions are executed and delivered by City to Optionor shall be the
date inserted on the first page of the Escrow Instructions as the date of the Opening of Escrow.
The Close of Escrow shall occur within thirty (30) days following the exercise of the Option by
City, as more particularly provided in the Escrow Instructions.
1.6 Recordation of Memorandum. Within five (5) business days after the date the

this Agreement, Optionor shall execute and deliver to City a short form memorandum of this
Agreement ( "Memorandum ") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "3 ". Upon receipt of the
Memorandum from Optionor, City shall execute the Memorandum and cause it to be recorded in
the Official Records of Orange County, California.
1.7 Document to Remove Cloud. This Agreement constitutes only an Option to
purchase the Property, and although the Option granted hereby shall automatically terminate
with respect to the Property unless exercised within the time and in accordance with the other
provisions set forth herein, City agrees that upon termination or expiration of the Option Period
or, if City timely exercises the Option but the Closing provided for in the Escrow Instructions
does not occur for any reason other than an uncured material default by Optionor, City shall
execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Optionor upon Optionor's request therefor, a quitclaim
deed or such other document(s) required by a reputable title company to remove any cloud from
Optionor's title to the Property that might arise as a result of the Option.
2. PURCHASE PRICE.
In the event that City exercises the Option, the purchase price payable by City to
Optionor for the Property shall be the sum of One Hundred Forty-Five Dollars ($145.00) per
square foot of net land area ( "Purchase Price "). The net land area of the Property shall be
