specifically provided in this MOA) after the date of such notice.

enjoin any threatened or attempted violation, enforce the terms of this MOA by specific
performance, or pursue any other legal or equitable remedy.
7.3 New Home's Exclusive Remedy. The Parties acknowledge that City would not
have entered into this MOA if it were to be liable in damages under or with respect to this MOA,
or the application thereof, or any permit or approval sought by New Home in accordance
herewith. Accordingly, New Home covenants, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns,
not to sue City for damages or monetary relief for any breach of this MOA or arising out of or
connected with any dispute, controversy or issue regarding the application, interpretation of
effect of this MOA, or any land use permit or approval sought in connection with the
development or use of the Property or any portion thereof, the Parties agreeing that declaratory
and injunctive relief, mandate, and specific performance shall be New Home's sole and
exclusive judicial remedies.

in default where delays or failures to perform are due to any cause without the fault and beyond
the reasonable control of such Party, including to the extent applicable, the following: war;
insurrection; strikes; walk -outs; the unavailability or shortage of labor, materials, or equipment;
riots; floods; earthquakes; the discovery and resolution of hazardous waste or significant
geologic, hydrologic, archaeological, paleontologic, or endangered species problems on the
Property; fires; casualties; acts of God; governmental restrictions imposed or mandated by other
governmental entities; with regard to delays of New Home's performance, delays caused by
City's failure to act or timely perform its obligations set forth herein; with regard to delays of
City's performance, delays caused by a New Home's failure to act or timely perform its
obligations set forth herein; inability to obtain necessary permits or approvals from other
governmental entities; enactment of conflicting state or federal statutes or regulations; judicial
decisions; or litigation not commenced by such Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any delay
caused by the failure of City or any agency, division, or office of City to timely issue a license,
permit, or approval required pursuant to this MOA shall not constitute an event of force majeure
extending the time for City's performance hereunder. If written notice of such delay or
impossibility of performance is provided to the other Parties within a reasonable time after the
commencement of such delay or condition of impossibility, an extension of time for such cause
will be granted in writing for the period of the enforced delay, or longer as may be mutually
agreed upon by the Parties in writing, or the performance rendered impossible may be excused in
writing by the Party so notified. In no event shall adverse market or financial conditions

In January, 2006, the City of Newport Beach approved General Plan Amendment No.
2004-005, Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan Amendment No. 2005-001, Tentative Parcel
Map No. 2005-014, Tentative Tract Map No. 2004-004 (TTNI 1.6774), Traffic Study No. 2005-
002 and Coastal Residential Development Permit No. 2005-004 and adopted Ordinance No.
2006-1 approving Planned Community Development No. 2005-003 amending Zoning District
Map No. (48) to permit the development of 79 residential units on approximately 4.26 acres of
[and at 900 Newport Center Drive, known as the Santa Barbara Condominium Project (the
"Project"). Condition 5 of the City Council Resolution 2006-2 approving the project establishes
the affordable housing requirement for the project, as follows:
The applicant shall provide cr nrinimtan of 20% of the total traits (16 traits) for rij
fordable
income hoitsehold� in accotdance with Housing Prog7wins 2.2.1 and 2.2.3 of the Neiivport
Beach Housing Element. The applicant shall enter into an agreelnent with the City to
provide said units, u,ltich units may be provided off site, at an approved location tii�ilhin
the City. These units shall be identified in the agreement and constructed and cotrtpleted
prior to the issuance of any certificate of'occarpancyfor the project. The agreement shall
be reviewed and approved by the C:ityAttorney and shall be executed and recorded prior
to the recordation of the final tract snap or the issuance of a building or gradingpeiwiit
for the proposed subdivision.
The City of Newport Beach's Housing Element as approved by the City Council in July,
2006, after approval of the Project, inchides an amended .Housing Program 2.2.1, which sets the
goal that 15% of all new housing units in the city be affordable to very low-, low- and moderate -
income households. Pursuant to Section 19.54.060 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code,
projects with more than 50 units are required to prepare an Affordable Housing Implementation
Plan ("AHIP") that specifies how the development will meet the City's affordable housing goal.
On May 11, 2010, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2010-9 adding a new chapter
to the Subdivision Code implementing Housing Program 2.2.1 of the Housing Element of the
City's General Plan which allows for alternatives to on-site construction of affordable housing
units, including payment of in -lieu fees for projects of fifty-one (5 1) dwelling units or more with
approval of an AHIP.
Stimmaa
On August 14, 2007, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach adopted Resolution
2007-58 approving an Affordable Housing Implementation Plan for the Project (the "2007
AHIP") as proposed by then -applicant Lennar Homes. Subsequent to approval of the 2007
AHIP, The New Home Company has entered into an agreement with the landowner of the 4.26
acre site to acquire the site and develop the Project.

Affordable Housing Implementation Plan
Paize 2
In reviewing the provisions of the 2007 A.HIP and as a result of further discussions on
how the City would like to implement its inclusionary housing ordinance, the City and The New
Home Company have agreed that the 2007 AHIP should be amended. The New home Company
has proposed this new 2012 Affordable Housing Implementation Plan ("20.12 AIIIP") in order to
address the City's objectives and to satisfy the provisions of the City's current Inclusionary
Housing requirements as set forth in Chapter 19.54 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code and
the Newport Beach Housing Element. Accordingly, The New Home Company, after extensive
research on options for meeting the affordable housing requirements, and in consideration of the
Chapter 19.54 of the Newport Beach Ylunicipal Code and the adopted Housing Element
requirement for 15% of all new units to be affordable, agrees to meet the requirements of the
City Inclusionary Housing requirements and the Housing Element as described below.
IL Affordable Housing Implementation
