NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach ordains as

Ordinance No. 2024-3
Page 3of5
Section 1: The City Council finds the DA is consistent with provisions of
California Government Code Sections 65864 to 65869.5 and Chapter 15.45
(Development Agreements) of the NBMC that authorize binding agreements that: (i)
encourage investment in, and commitment to, comprehensive planning and public
facilities financing; (ii) strengthen the public planning process and encourage private
implementation of the local general plan; (iii) provide certainty in the approval of projects
in order to avoid waste of time and resources; and (iv) reduce the economic costs of
development by providing assurance to the property owners that they may proceed with
projects consistent with existing policies, rules, and regulations. The City Council finds
the Development Agreement is consistent with Land Use Element of the General Plan
which designates 20 Corporate Plaza as Regional Commercial Office (CO-R). The CO-
R designation is intended to provide for administrative and professional offices that
serve local and regional markets, with limited accessory retail, financial, service, and
entertainment uses. A medical office is one variety of professional office and allowed by
right. The Project requires a GPA to implement as the proposed floor area exceeds the
development limit of Anomaly No. 34. The Project is consistent with the General Plan as
proposed to be amended. Additionally, the City Council finds the DA is entered into
pursuant to, and constitutes a present exercise of, the City's police power and is in the
best interest of the health, safety, and general welfare of the City, residents, and the
public.
Section 2: The DA which is attached hereto as Exhibit "B," and incorporated
herein by reference between the City of Newport Beach and the Applicant to
accommodate the development of Project and to enter the agreement for a term of five
years, is hereby approved.
Section 3: The City Council finds the introduction and adoption of this
ordinance is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental
Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Section 15303, Class 3 (New Construction or
Conversions of Small Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of
Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, because the Class 3 exemption includes
the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor
modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. The exemption also includes
additions of up to 10,000 square feet to an office within an urbanized area on sites
zoned for such use if not using a significant amount of hazardous substances, all
necessary public services are available, and the surrounding area is not
environmentally sensitive. The Project involves the conversion of subterranean parking,
in an urbanized area, resulting in an addition of 5,081 square feet of office floor space,
which is consistent with the Class 3 exemption.
Ordinance No. 2024-3
Page 4 of 5
The exceptions to this categorical exemption under Section 15300.2 of the CEQA
Guidelines are not applicable. The Project location does not impact an environmental
resource of hazardous or critical concern, does not result in cumulative impacts, does
not have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances, does not
damage scenic resources within a state scenic highway, is not a hazardous waste site,
and is not identified as a historical resource.
Section 4: The recitals provided in this ordinance are true and correct and are
incorporated into the substantive portion of this ordinance.
Section 5: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this
ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not
affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City
Council hereby declares that it would have passed this ordinance and each section,
subsection, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or
more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid or
unconstitutional.

charge to which the Property and the Project would otherwise be subject to (herein, the "Public
Benefit Fee") in the total sum of Thirty -Seven Thousand Nine Hundred Fifty -Four Dollars
($37,954.00) which shall be due and payable prior to the issuance of the first building permit for
the Project.
The City has not designated a specific project or purpose for the Public Benefit Fee. Owner
acknowledges by its approval and execution of this Agreement that it is voluntarily agreeing to
pay the Public Benefit Fee and that its obligation to pay the Public Benefit Fee is an essential term
of this Agreement and is not severable from City's obligations and Owner's vested rights to be
acquired hereunder, and that Owner expressly waives any constitutional, statutory, or common law
right it might have in the absence of this Agreement to protest or challenge the payment of the
Public Benefits identified in this Section 3.1 on any ground whatsoever, including without
limitation pursuant to the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution,
California Constitution Article I Section 19, the Mitigation Fee Act (California Government Code
Section 66000 et seq. ), or otherwise. In addition to any other remedy set forth in this Agreement
7
for Owner's default, if Owner shall fail to timely pay any portion of the Public Benefits identified
in this Section 3.1 when due, City shall have the right to withhold issuance of any further building
permits, occupancy permits, or other development or building permits for the Project.
3.2 Consumer Price Index (CPI) Increases. Any fee provided in this Section 3 (Public Benefit)
shall be increased based upon percentage increases in the CPI Index as provided herein. The first
CPI adjustment shall occur on the first anniversary of the City Council's adoption of the Adopting
Ordinance (the first "Adjustment Date") and subsequent CPI adjustments shall occur on each
anniversary of the first Adjustment Date thereafter until expiration of the Term of this Agreement
(each, an "Adjustment Date"). The amount of the CPI adjustment on the applicable Adjustment
Date shall in each instance be calculated based on the then most recently available CPI Index
figures such that, for example, if the Effective Date of this Agreement falls on July 1 and the most
recently available CPI Index figure on the first Adjustment Date (January 1 of the following year)
is the CPI Index for November of the preceding year, the percentage increase in the CPI Index for
that partial year (a 6-month period) shall be calculated by comparing the CPI Index for November
of the preceding year with the CPI Index for May of the preceding year (a 6-month period). In no
event, however, shall application of the CPI Index reduce the amount of the Public Benefit Fee (or
unpaid portion thereof) below the amount in effect prior to any applicable Adjustment Date.
3.3 Other Public Benefits. Reserved
4. Development of Proiect.
4.1 Applicable Regulations; Property Owner's Vested Rights and City's Reservation of
Discretion With Respect to Subsequent Development Approvals.
Other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, during the Term of this Agreement, (i)
Property Owner shall have the vested right to Develop the Project on and with respect to the
Property in accordance with the terms of the Development Regulations and this Agreement and
(ii) City shall not prohibit or prevent development of the Property on grounds inconsistent with
the Development Regulations or this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein
is intended to limit or restrict City's discretion with respect to (i) review and approval requirements
contained in the Development Regulations, (ii) exercise of any discretionary authority City retains
under the Development Regulations, (iii) the approval, conditional approval, or denial of any
Subsequent Development Approvals applied for by Property Owner, or that are required, for
Development of the Project as of the Agreement Date provided that all such actions are consistent
with the Development Regulations, or (iv) any environmental approvals that may be required
under CEQA or any other federal or state law or regulation in conjunction with any Subsequent
Development Approvals that may be required for the Project, and in this regard, as to future actions
referred to in clauses (i)-(iv) of this sentence, City reserves its full discretion to the same extent
City would have such discretion in the absence of this Agreement. In addition, it is understood
and agreed that nothing in this Agreement is intended to vest Property Owner's rights with respect
to any laws, regulations, rules, or official policies of any other governmental agency or public
utility company with jurisdiction over the Property or the Project; or any applicable federal or state
laws, regulations, rules, or official policies that may be inconsistent with this Agreement and that
override or supersede the provisions set forth in this Agreement, and regardless of whether such
overriding or superseding laws, regulations, rules, or official policies are adopted or applied to the
Property or the Project prior or subsequent to the Agreement Date.
Property Owner has expended and will continue to expend substantial amounts of time and
money in the planning and entitlement process to permit Development of the Project in the future.
Property Owner represents and City acknowledges that Property Owner would not make these
expenditures without this Agreement, and that Property Owner is and will be making these
expenditures in reasonable reliance upon obtaining vested rights to Develop the Project as set forth
in this Agreement.
Property Owner may apply to City for permits or approvals necessary to modify or amend
the Development specified in the Development Regulations, provided that unless this Agreement
also is amended, 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. In addition, Property Owner 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.
4.2 No Conflicting Enactments.
Except to the extent City reserves its discretion as expressly set forth in this Agreement,
during the Term of this Agreement City shall not apply to the Project or the Property any ordinance,
policy, rule, regulation, or other measure relating to Development of the Project that is enacted or
becomes effective after the Agreement Date to the extent it conflicts with this Agreement. This
Section 4.2 shall not restrict City's ability to enact an ordinance, policy, rule, regulation, or other
measure applicable to the Project pursuant to California Government Code Section 65866
consistent with the procedures specified in Section 4.3 of this Agreement. In Pardee Construction
Co. v. City of Camarillo (1984) 37 Cal.3d 465, the California Supreme Court held that a
construction company was not exempt from a city's growth control ordinance even though the city
and construction company had entered into a consent judgment (tantamount to a contract under
California law) establishing the company's vested rights to develop its property consistent with
the zoning. The California Supreme Court reached this result because the consent judgment failed
to address the timing of development. The Parties intend to avoid the result of the Pardee case by
acknowledging and providing in this Agreement that Property Owner shall have the vested right
to Develop the Project on and with respect to the Property at the rate, timing, and sequencing that
Property Owner deems appropriate within the exercise of Property Owner's sole subjective
business judgment, provided that such Development occurs in accordance with this Agreement
and the Development Regulations, notwithstanding adoption by City's electorate of an initiative
to the contrary after the Agreement Date. No City moratorium or other similar limitation relating
to the rate, timing, or sequencing of the Development of all or any part of the Project and whether
enacted by initiative or another method, affecting subdivision maps, building permits, occupancy
certificates, or other entitlement to use, shall apply to the Project to the extent such moratorium or
other similar limitation restricts Property Owner's vested rights in this Agreement or otherwise
conflicts with the express provisions of this Agreement.
4.3 Reservations of Authority.
7
Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, the laws,
rules, regulations, and official policies set forth in this Section 4.3 shall apply to and govern the
Development of the Project on and with respect to the Property.
4.3.1 Procedural Regulations. Procedural regulations relating to hearing bodies,
petitions, applications, notices, findings, records, hearings, reports, recommendations, appeals, and
any other matter of procedure shall apply to the Property, provided that such procedural regulations
are adopted and applied City-wide or to all other properties similarly situated in City.
4.3.2 Processing and Permit Fees. City shall have the right to charge and Property
Owner shall be required to pay all applicable processing and permit fees to cover the reasonable
cost to City of processing and reviewing applications and plans for any required Subsequent
Development Approvals, building permits, excavation and grading permits, encroachment
permits, and the like, for performing necessary studies and reports in connection therewith,
inspecting the work constructed or installed by or on behalf of Property Owner, and monitoring
compliance with any requirements applicable to Development of the Project, all at the rates in
effect at the time fees are due.
4.3.3 Consistent Future City Regulations. City ordinances, resolutions,
regulations, and official policies governing Development which do not conflict with the
Development Regulations, or with respect to such regulations that do conflict, where Property
Owner has consented in writing to the regulations, shall apply to the Property.
4.3.4 Development Exactions Applicable to Property. During the Term of this
Agreement, Property Owner shall be required to satisfy and pay all Development Exactions at the
time performance or payment is due to the same extent and in the same amount(s) that would apply
to Property Owner and the Project in the absence of this Agreement; provided, however, that to
the extent the scope and extent of a particular Development Exaction (excluding any development
impact fee) for the Project has been established and fixed by City in the conditions of approval for
any of the Development Regulations approved on or before the Agreement Date, City shall not
alter, increase, or modify said Development Exaction in a manner that is inconsistent with such
Development Regulations without Property Owner's prior written consent or as may be otherwise
required pursuant to overriding federal or state laws or regulations (Section 4.3.5 hereinbelow). In
addition, nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be deemed to vest Property Owner against
the obligation to pay any of the following (which are not included within the definition of
"Development Exactions") in the full amount that would apply in the absence of this Agreement:
(i) City's normal fees for processing, environmental assessment and review, tentative tract and
parcel map review, plan checking, site review and approval, administrative review, building
permit, grading permit, inspection, and similar fees imposed to recover City's costs associated
with processing, reviewing, and inspecting project applications, plans, and specifications; (ii) fees
and charges levied by any other public agency, utility, district, or joint powers authority, regardless
of whether City collects those fees and charges; or (iii) community facility district special taxes or
special district assessments or similar assessments, business license fees, bonds or other security
required for public improvements, transient occupancy taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, sewer
lateral connection fees, water service connection fees, new water meter fees, and the Property
Development Tax payable under Chapter 3.12 of City's Municipal Code.
10
4.3.5 Overriding Federal and State Laws and Regulations. Federal and state laws
and regulations that override Property Owner's vested rights set forth in this Agreement shall apply
to the Property, together with any City ordinances, resolutions, regulations, and official policies
that are necessary to enable City to comply with the provisions of any such overriding federal or
state laws and regulations, provided that (i) Property Owner does not waive its right to challenge
or contest the validity of any such purportedly overriding federal, state, or City law or regulation;
and (ii) upon the discovery of any such overriding federal, state, or City law or regulation that
prevents or precludes compliance with any provision of this Agreement, City or Property Owner
shall provide to the other Party a written notice identifying the federal, state, or City law or
regulation, together with a copy of the law or regulation and a brief written statement of the
conflict(s) between that law or regulation and the provisions of this Agreement. Promptly
thereafter City and Property Owner shall meet and confer in good faith in a reasonable attempt to
determine whether a modification or suspension of this Agreement, in whole or in part, is necessary
to comply with such overriding federal, state, or City law or regulation. In such negotiations, City
and Property Owner agree to preserve the terms of this Agreement and the rights of Property
Owner as derived from this Agreement to the maximum feasible extent while resolving the
conflict. City agrees to cooperate with Property Owner at no cost to City in resolving the conflict
in a manner which minimizes any financial impact of the conflict upon Property Owner. City also
agrees to process in a prompt manner Property Owner's proposed changes to this Agreement, the
Project and any of the Development Regulations as may be necessary to comply with such
overriding federal, state, or City law or regulation; provided, however, that the approval of such
changes by City shall be subject to the discretion of City, consistent with this Agreement.
4.3.6 Public Health and Safety. Any City ordinance, resolution, rule, regulation,
program, or official policy that is necessary to protect persons on the Property or in the immediate
vicinity from conditions dangerous to their health or safety, as reasonably determined by City,
shall apply to the Property, even though the application of the ordinance, resolution, rule
regulation, program, or official policy would result in the impairment of Property Owner's vested
rights under this Agreement.
4.3.7 Uniform Building Standards. Existing and future building and building -
related standards set forth in the uniform codes adopted and amended by City from time to time,
including building, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, housing, swimming pool, and fire codes, and
any modifications and amendments thereof shall all apply to the Project and the Property to the
same extent that the same would apply in the absence of this Agreement.
4.3.8 Public Works Improvements. To the extent Property Owner constructs or
installs any public improvements, works, or facilities, the City standards in effect for such public
improvements, works, or facilities at the time of City's issuance of a permit, license, or other
authorization for construction or installation of same shall apply.
4.3.9 No Guarantee or Reservation of Utility Capacity. Notwithstanding any
other provision set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement is intended
or shall be interpreted to require City to guarantee or reserve to or for the benefit of Property Owner
or the Property any utility capacity, service, or facilities that may be needed to serve the Project,
whether domestic or reclaimed water service, sanitary sewer transmission or wastewater treatment
capacity, downstream drainage capacity, or otherwise, and City shall have the right to limit or
restrict Development of the Project if and to the extent that City reasonably determines that
11
inadequate utility capacity exists to adequately serve the Project at the time Development is
scheduled to commence.
5. Amendment or Cancellation of Agreement. This Agreement may be amended or canceled
in whole or in part only by mutual written and executed consent of the Parties in compliance with
California Government Code Section 65868 and Newport Beach Municipal Code Section
15.45.070 or by unilateral termination by City in the event of an uncured default of Property
Owner.
6. Enforcement. Unless this Agreement is amended, canceled, modified, or suspended as
authorized herein or pursuant to California Government Code Section 65869.5, this Agreement
shall be enforceable by either Party despite any change in any applicable general or specific plan,
zoning, subdivision, or building regulation or other applicable ordinance or regulation adopted by
City (including by City's electorate) that purports to apply to any or all of the Property.
7. Annual Review of Pronertv Owner's Compliance With Agreement.
7.1 General.
City shall review this Agreement once during every twelve (12) month period following
the Effective Date for compliance with the terms of this Agreement as provided in Government
Code Section 65865.1. Property Owner (including any successor to the Property Owner executing
this Agreement on or before the Agreement Date) shall pay City a reasonable fee in an amount
City may reasonably establish from time to time to cover the actual and necessary costs for the
annual review. City's failure to timely provide or conduct an annual review shall not constitute a
Default hereunder by City.
7.2 Property Owner Obligation to Demonstrate Good Faith Compliance.
During each annual review by City, Property Owner is required to demonstrate good faith
compliance with the terms of the Agreement. Property Owner agrees to furnish such evidence of
good faith compliance as City, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion, may require, thirty (30)
days prior to each anniversary of the Effective Date during the Term.
7.3 Procedure. The Zoning Administrator shall conduct a duly noticed hearing and shall
determine, on the basis of substantial evidence, whether or not Property Owner has, for the period
under review, complied with the terms of this Agreement. If the Zoning Administrator finds that
Property Owner has so complied, the annual review shall be concluded. If the Zoning
Administrator finds, on the basis of substantial evidence, that Property Owner has not so complied,
written notice shall be sent to Property Owner by first class mail of the Zoning Administrator's
finding of non-compliance, and Property Owner shall be given at least ten (10) calendar days to
cure any noncompliance that relates to the payment of money and thirty (30) calendar days to cure
any other type of noncompliance. If a cure not relating to the payment of money cannot be
completed within thirty (30) calendar days for reasons which are beyond the control of Property
Owner, Property Owner must commence the cure within such thirty (30) calendar days and
diligently pursue such cure to completion. If Property Owner fails to cure such noncompliance
within the time(s) set forth above, such failure shall be considered to be a Default and City shall
be entitled to exercise the remedies set forth in Article 8 below.
12
7.4 Annual Review a Non -Exclusive Means for Determining and Requiring Cure of Property
Owner's Default.
The annual review procedures set forth in this Article 7 shall not be the exclusive means
for City to identify a Default by Property Owner or limit City's rights or remedies for any such
Default.
8. Events of Default.
8.1 General Provisions. In the event of any material default, breach, or violation of the terms
of this Agreement ("Default"), the Party alleging a Default shall deliver a written notice (each, a
"Notice of Default") to the defaulting Party. The Notice of Default shall specify the nature of the
alleged Default and a reasonable manner and sufficient period of time (ten (10) calendar days if
the Default relates to the failure to timely make a monetary payment due hereunder and not less
than thirty (30) calendar days in the event of non -monetary Defaults) in which the Default must
be cured ("Cure Period"). During the Cure Period, the Party charged shall not be considered in
Default for the purposes of termination of this Agreement or institution of legal proceedings. If
the alleged Default is cured within the Cure Period, then the Default thereafter shall be deemed
not to exist. If a non -monetary Default cannot be cured during the Cure Period with the exercise
of commercially reasonable diligence, the defaulting Party must promptly commence to cure as
quickly as possible, and in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days after it receives the Notice
of Default, and thereafter diligently pursue said cure to completion. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the City is not required to give Property Owner notice of default and may immediately
pursue remedies for a Property Owner Default that result in an immediate threat to public health,
safety or welfare.
8.2 Default by Property Owner.
If Property Owner is alleged to have committed a non -monetary Default and it disputes the claimed
Default, it may make a written request for an appeal hearing before the City Council within ten
(10) days of receiving the Notice of Default, and a public hearing shall be scheduled at the next
available City Council meeting to consider Property Owner's appeal of the Notice of Default.
Failure to appeal a Notice of Default to the City Council within the ten (10) day period shall waive
any right to a hearing on the claimed Default. If Property Owner's appeal of the Notice of Default
is timely and in good faith but after a public hearing of Property Owner's appeal the City Council
concludes that Property Owner is in Default as alleged in the Notice of Default, the accrual date
for commencement of the thirty (30) day Cure Period provided in Section 8.1 shall be extended
until the City Council's denial of Property Owner's appeal is communicated to Property Owner in
writing.
8.3 Ci y s Option to Terminate Agreement.
In the event of an alleged Property Owner Default, City may not terminate this Agreement
without first delivering a written Notice of Default and providing Property Owner with the
opportunity to cure the Default within the Cure Period, as provided in Section 8.1, and complying
with Section 8.2 if Property Owner timely appeals any Notice of Default. A termination of this
Agreement by City shall be valid only if good cause exists and is supported by evidence presented
to the City Council at or in connection with a duly noticed public hearing to establish the existence
13
of a Default. The validity of any termination may be judicially challenged by Property Owner.
Any such judicial challenge must be brought within thirty (30) days of service on Property Owner,
by first class mail, postage prepaid, of written notice of termination by City or a written notice of
City's determination of an appeal of the Notice of Default as provided in Section 8.2.
8.4 Default by Ci1v.
If Property Owner alleges a City Default and alleges that the City has not cured the Default
within the Cure Period, Property Owner may pursue any equitable remedy available to it under
this Agreement, including, without limitation, an action for a writ of mandamus, injunctive relief,
or specific performance of City's obligations set forth in this Agreement. Upon a City Default,
any resulting delays in Property Owner's performance hereunder shall neither be a Property Owner
Default nor constitute grounds for termination or cancellation of this Agreement by City and shall,
at Property Owner's option (and provided Property Owner delivers written notice to City within
thirty (30) days of the commencement of the alleged City Default), extend the Term for a period
equal to the length of the delay.
8.5 Waiver.
Failure or delay by either Parry in delivering a Notice of Default shall not waive that Party's
right to deliver a future Notice of Default of the same or any other Default.
8.6 Specific Performance Remedv.
Due to the size, nature, and scope of the Project, it will not be practical or possible to restore
the Property to its pre-existing condition once implementation of this Agreement has begun. After
such implementation, both Property Owner and City may be foreclosed from other choices they
may have had to plan for the development of the Property, to utilize the Property or provide for
other benefits and alternatives. Property Owner and City have invested significant time and
resources and performed extensive planning and processing of the Project in agreeing to the terms
of this Agreement and will be investing even more significant time and resources in implementing
the Project in reliance upon the terms of this Agreement. It is not possible to determine the sum
of money which would adequately compensate Property Owner or City for such efforts. For the
above reasons, City and Property Owner agree that damages would not be an adequate remedy if
either City or Property Owner fails to carry out its obligations under this Agreement. Therefore,
specific performance of this Agreement is necessary to compensate Property Owner if City fails
to carry out its obligations under this Agreement or to compensate City if Property Owner falls to
carry out its obligations under this Agreement.
8.7 Monetary Damaues.
The Parties agree that monetary damages shall not be an available remedy for either Party
for a Default hereunder by the other Party; provided, however, that (i) nothing in this Section 8.7
is intended or shall be interpreted to limit or restrict City's right to recover the Public Benefit Fees
due from Property Owner as set forth herein; and (ii) nothing in this Section 8.7 is intended or
shall be interpreted to limit or restrict Property Owner's indemnity obligations set forth in Article
10 or the right of the prevailing Party in any Action to recover its litigation expenses, as set forth
in Section 8.10. In no event shall damages be awarded against the City upon an event of default
or upon termination of this Agreement. Owner expressly agrees that the City, any City agencies
14
and their respective elected and appointed councils, boards, commissions, officers, agents,
employees, volunteers and representatives (collectively, for purposes of this Section 8.7, "City")
shall not be liable for any monetary damage for a Default by the City or any claims against City
arising out of this Agreement. Owner hereby expressly waives any such monetary damages against
the City. The sole and exclusive judicial remedy for Owner in the event of a Default by the City
shall be an action in mandamus, specific performance, or other injunctive or declaratory relief.
8.8 Additional City Remedy for Property Owner's Default.
In the event of any Default by Property Owner, in addition to any other remedies which
may be available to City, whether legal or equitable, City shall be entitled to receive and retain any
Development Exactions applicable to the Project or the Property, including any fees, grants,
dedications, or improvements to public property which it may have received prior to Property
Owner's Default without recourse from Property Owner or its successors or assigns.
8.9 No Personal Liability of City Officials, Employees, or Agents.
No City official, employee, or agent shall have any personal liability hereunder for a
Default by City of any of its obligations set forth in this Agreement.
8.10 Recovery of Legal Expenses by Prevailing Pggy in AU Action.
In any judicial proceeding, arbitration, or mediation (collectively, an "Action") between
the Parties that seeks to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or arises out of this Agreement,
the prevailing Party shall not recover any of its costs and expenses, regardless of whether they
would be recoverable under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1033.5 or California Civil
Code Section 1717 in the absence of this Agreement. These costs and expenses include, but are
not limited to, court costs, expert witness fees, attorneys' fees, City staff costs (including
overhead), and costs of investigation and preparation before initiation of the Action.
9. Force 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 God, fires, wars, riots
or similar hostilities, strikes or other labor difficulties, state or federal regulations, or court actions.
Except as specified above, nonperformance shall not be excused because of the act or omission of
a third person. In no event shall the occurrence of an event of force majeure operate to extend the
Term of this Agreement. In addition, in no event shall the time for performance of a monetary
obligation, including without limitation Property Owner's obligation to pay Public Benefit Fees,
be extended pursuant to this Section.
10. Indemnity Obliaations of Probertv Owner.
10.1 IndeMqfty Arising From Acts or Omissions of Property Owner.
Property Owner shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City and City's officials,
employees, agents, attorneys, and contractors (collectively, the "City's Affiliated Parties") from
and against all suits, claims, liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, obligations, and expenses
15
(including but not limited to attorneys' fees and costs) (collectively, a "Claim") that may arise,
directly or indirectly, from the acts, omissions, or operations of Property Owner or Properly
Owner's agents, contractors, subcontractors, agents, or employees in the course of Development
of the Project or any other activities of Property Owner relating to the Property or pursuant to this
Agreement. City shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to select and retain counsel to defend
any Claim filed against City and/or any of City's Affiliated Parties, and Property Owner shall pay
the reasonable cost for defense of any Claim. The indemnity provisions in this Section 10.1 shall
commence on the Agreement Date, regardless of whether the Effective Date occurs, and shall
survive the Termination Date.
10.2 Third Party Litigation.
In addition to its indemnity obligations set forth in Section 10.1, Property Owner shall
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City and City's Affiliated Parties from and against any
Claim against City or City's Affiliated Parties seeking to attack, set aside, void, or annul the
approval of this Agreement, the Adopting Ordinance, any of the Development Regulations for the
Project (including without limitation any actions taken pursuant to CEQA with respect thereto),
any Subsequent Development Approval, or the approval of any permit granted pursuant to this
Agreement. Said indemnity obligation shall include payment of attorney's fees, expert witness
fees, City staff costs, and court costs. City shall promptly notify Property Owner of any such
Claim and City shall cooperate with Property Owner in the defense of such Claim. If City fails to
promptly notify Property Owner of such Claim, Property Owner shall not be responsible to
indemnify, defend, and hold City harmless from such Claim until Property Owner is so notified
and if City fails to cooperate in the defense of a Claim Property Owner shall not be responsible to
defend, indemnify, and hold harmless City during the period that City so fails to cooperate or for
any losses attributable thereto. City shall be entitled to retain separate counsel to represent City
against the Claim and the City's defense costs for its separate counsel shall be included in Property
Owner's indemnity obligation, provided that such counsel shall reasonably cooperate with
Property Owner in an effort to minimize the total litigation expenses incurred by Property Owner.
In the event either City or Property Owner recovers any attorney's fees, expert witness fees, costs,
interest, or other amounts from the party or parties asserting the Claim, Property Owner shall be
entitled to retain the same (provided it has fully performed its indemnity obligations hereunder).
The indemnity provisions in this Section 10.2 shall commence on the Agreement Date, regardless
of whether the Effective Date occurs, and shall survive the Termination Date.
10.3 EnvironmentalIndemnity.
In addition to its indemnity obligations set forth in Section 10.1, from and after the
Agreement Date Property Owner shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City and City's
Affiliated Parties from and against any and all Claims for personal injury or death, property
damage, economic loss, statutory penalties or fines, and damages of any kind or nature whatsoever,
including without limitation attorney's fees, expert witness fees, and costs, based upon or arising
from any of the following: (i) the actual or alleged presence of any Hazardous Substance on or
under any of the Property in violation of any applicable Environmental Law; (ii) the actual or
alleged migration of any Hazardous Substance from the Property through the soils or groundwater
to a location or locations off of the Property; and (iii) the storage, handling, transport, or disposal
of any Hazardous Substance on, to, or from the Property and any other area disturbed, graded, or
developed by Property Owner in connection with Property Owner's Development of the Project.
16
The foregoing indemnity obligations shall not apply to any Hazardous Substance placed or stored
on a separate legal lot within the Property after the Lot Termination Date for said lot, as provided
in Section 2.4 of this Agreement. The indemnity provisions in this Section 10.3 shall commence
on the Agreement Date, regardless of whether the Effective Date occurs, and shall survive the
Termination Date.
11. Assignment.
Property Owner shall have the right to sell, transfer, or assign (hereinafter, collectively, a
"Transfer") Property Owner's interest in or fee title to the Property, in whole or in part, to any
person, partnership, joint venture, firm, or corporation (which successor, as of the effective date
of the Transfer, shall become the "Property Owner" under this Agreement) at any time from the
Agreement Date until the Termination Date; provided, however, that no such Transfer shall violate
the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Section 66410 et seq.) or City's
local subdivision ordinance and any such Transfer shall include the assignment and assumption of
Property Owner's rights, duties, and obligations set forth in or arising under this Agreement as to
the Property or the portion thereof so Transferred and shall be made in strict compliance with the
following conditions precedent: (i) no transfer or assignment of any of Property Owner's rights or
interest under this Agreement shall be made unless made together with the Transfer of all or a part
of the Property; and (ii) prior to the effective date of any proposed Transfer, Property Owner (as
transferor) shall notify City, in writing, of such proposed Transfer and deliver to City a written
assignment and assumption, executed in recordable form by the transferring and successor
Property Owner and in a form subject to the reasonable approval of the City Attorney of City (or
designee), pursuant to which the transferring Property Owner assigns to the successor Property
Owner and the successor Property Owner assumes from the transferring Property Owner all of the
rights and obligations of the transferring Property Owner with respect to the Property or portion
thereof to be so Transferred, including in the case of a partial Transfer the obligation to perform
such obligations that must be performed off of the portion of the Property so Transferred that are
a condition precedent to the successor Property Owner's right to develop the portion of the
Property so Transferred. Any Permitted Transferee shall have all of the same rights, benefits,
duties, obligations, and liabilities of Owner under this Agreement with respect to the portion of,
or interest in, the Property sold, transferred, and assigned to such Permitted Transferee; provided,
however, that in the event of a Transfer of less than all of the Property, or interest in the Property,
no such Permitted Transferee shall have the right to enter into an amendment of this Agreement
that jeopardizes or impairs the rights or increases the obligations of the Owner with respect to the
balance of the Property, without Owner's written consent.

Property with any Mortgage securing financing with respect to the construction, development, use,

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

obligation or duty under the terms of this Agreement to perform the obligations of Property Owner
or other affirmative covenants of Property Owner, or to guarantee this performance except that: (i)
the Mortgagee shall have no right to develop the Project under the Development Regulations
without fully complying with the terms of this Agreement; and (ii) to the extent that any covenant
to be performed by Property Owner is a condition to the performance of a covenant by City, that

Each Mortgagee shall have a further right, but not an obligation, to cure the Default within
ten (10) days after receiving a Notice of Default with respect to a monetary Default and within
18
thirty (30) days after receiving a Notice of Default with respect to a non -monetary Default. If the
Mortgagee can only remedy or cure a non -monetary Default by obtaining possession of the
Property, then the Mortgagee shall have the right to seek to obtain possession with diligence and
continuity through a receiver or otherwise, and to remedy or cure the non -monetary Default within
thirty (30) days after obtaining possession and, except in case of emergency or to protect the public
health or safety, City may not exercise any of its judicial remedies set forth in this Agreement to
terminate or substantially alter the rights of the Mortgagee until expiration of the thirty (30)-day
period. In the case of a non -monetary Default that cannot with diligence be remedied or cured
within thirty (30) days, the Mortgagee shall have additional time as is reasonably necessary to
remedy or cure the Default, provided the Mortgagee promptly commences to cure the non -
monetary Default within thirty (30) days and diligently prosecutes the cure to completion.

extent consistent with and necessary to implement this Agreement. Upon the request of a Party at

other Parry, shall not constitute a waiver of that Party's right to demand strict compliance by the
other Party in the future.

identical and may be introduced in evidence or used for any other purpose without any other

prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the
subject matter addressed in this Agreement.

The Parties intend that each and every obligation of the Parties is interdependent and
interrelated with the other, and if any provision of this Agreement or the application of the
provision to any Party or circumstances shall be held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, it is
the intention of the Parties that the remainder of this Agreement or the application of the provision
to persons or circumstances shall be rendered invalid or unenforceable. The Parties intend that
neither Parry shall receive any of the benefits of the Agreement without the full performance by
such Party of all of its obligations provided for under this Agreement. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Parties intend that Property Owner shall not receive any of the
benefits of this Agreement if any of Property Owner's obligations are rendered void or
unenforceable as the result of any third party litigation, and City shall be free to exercise its
legislative discretion to amend or repeal the Development Regulations applicable to the Property
and Property Owner shall cooperate as required, despite this Agreement, should third parry
litigation result in the nonperformance of Property Owner's obligations under this Agreement.
The provisions of this Section 14.11 shall apply regardless of whether the Effective Date occurs
and after the Termination Date.

14.12 Construction.
This Agreement has been drafted after negotiation and revision. Both City and Property
Owner are sophisticated parties who were represented by independent counsel throughout the
negotiations or City and Property Owner had the opportunity to be so represented and voluntarily
chose to not be so represented. City and Property Owner each agree and acknowledge that the
terms of this Agreement are fair and reasonable, taking into account their respective purposes,
terms, and conditions. This Agreement shall therefore be construed as a whole consistent with its
fair meaning and applicable principle or presumptions of contract construction or interpretation, if
any, shall be used to construe the whole or any part of this Agreement in favor of or against either
Parry.
14.13 Successors and Assigns: Constructive Notice and Acceptance.
The burdens of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and the benefits of this Agreement
shall inure to, all successors in interest to the Parties to this Agreement. All provisions of this
Agreement shall be enforceable as equitable servitudes and constitute covenants running with the
land. Each covenant to do or refrain from doing some act hereunder with regard to Development
of the Property: (i) is for the benefit of and is a burden upon every portion of the Property; (ii) runs
with the Property and each portion thereof; and (iii) is binding upon each Parry and each successor
in interest during its ownership of the Property or any portion thereof. Every person or entity who
now or later owns or acquires any right, title, or interest in any part of the Project or the Property
is and shall be conclusively deemed to have consented and agreed to every provision of this
Agreement. This Section 14.13 applies regardless of whether the instrument by which such person
or entity acquires the interest refers to or acknowledges this Agreement and regardless of whether
such person or entity has expressly entered into an assignment and assumption agreement as
provided for in Section 11.
14.14 No Third Party Beneficiaries.
The only Parties to this Agreement are City and Property Owner. This Agreement does
not involve any third party beneficiaries, and it is not intended and shall not be construed to benefit
or be enforceable by any other person or entity.
14.15 Applicable Law and Venue.
This Agreement shall be construed and enforced consistent with the internal laws of the
State of California, without regard to conflicts of law principles. Any action at law or in equity
arising under this Agreement or brought by any Party for the purpose of enforcing, construing, or
determining the validity of any provision of this Agreement shall be filed and tried in the Superior
Court of the County of Orange, State of California, or the United States District Court for the
Central District of California. The Parties waive all provisions of law providing for the removal
or change of venue to any other court.
