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 Effective 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 NBCC All- 00526 -NBCC/ Inc hu'l Bay Clubs 01.13.12 Final 9 shall have the vested right to Develop the Project on and with respect to the Property at the rate, timing, and sequencing that NBCC deems appropriate within the exercise of NBCC'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 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 NBCC's vested rights in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the express provisions of this Agreement. 4.3 Reservations ofAuthod . 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 NBCC 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 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 NBCC has consented in writing to the regulations, shall apply to the Property. 4.3.4 Development Exactions Applicable to Pronertv. During the Term of this Agreement, NBCC 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 NBCC 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 NBCC'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 NBCC against the obligation to pay any of the following (which are not included within the definition of Al 1- 00526 -NBM Inc Intl Bay Clubs 61.13.12 Final 10 "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 Section 3.12 of City's Municipal Code. 4.3.5 Overriding Federal and State Laws and Regulations. Federal and state laws and regulations that override NBCC'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) NBCC 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 NBCC 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 NBCC 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 NBCC agree to preserve the terms of this Agreement and the rights of NBCC as derived from this Agreement to the maximum feasible extent while resolving the conflict. City agrees to cooperate with NBCC at no cost to City in resolving the conflict in a manner which minimizes any financial impact of the conflict upon NBCC. City also agrees to process in a prompt manner NBCC's proposed changes to 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 Safetv. 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 NBCC's vested rights under this Agreement. Al1-00526 -1' RM Inc Ld'i BayCTabs 01.13.12 Final I 1 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 NBCC 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 NBCC 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 inadequate utility capacity exists to adequately serve the Project at the time Development is scheduled to commence. S. Amendment or Cancellation of Agreement Other than modifications of this Agreement under Section 8.3 of this 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 Goverment Code section 65868 and City of Newport Beach Municipal Code section 15.45.060 or by unilateral termination by City in the event of an uncured default of NBCC. 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 NBCC'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. NBCC (including any successor to the 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. AF 1- 00526 - NBCC! Fug WI gay C3nbs 01.13.12 Final 12 7.2 NBCC Obligation to Demonstrate Good Faith Compliance. During each annual review by City, NBCC is required to demonstrate good faith compliance with the terms of the Agreement. NBCC 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 City Council of City shall conduct a duly noticed hearing and shall determine, on the basis of substantial evidence, whether or not NBCC has, for the period under review, complied with the terms of this Agreement. If the City Council finds that NBCC has so complied, the annual review shall be concluded. If the City Council finds, on the basis of substantial evidence, that NBCC has not so complied, written notice shall be sent to NBCC by first class mail of the City Council's finding of non - compliance, and NBCC shall be given at least ten (10) days to cure any noncompliance that relates to the payment of money and thirty (30) days to cure any other type of noncompliance. If a cure not relating to the payment of money cannot be completed within thirty (30) days for reasons which are beyond the control of NBCC, NBCC must commence the cure within such thirty (30) days and diligently pursue such cure to completion. If NBCC 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. 7.4 Annual Review a Non - Exclusive Means for Determining and Requiring Cure of NBCC'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 NBCC 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 Parry alleging a Default shall have the right to 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) days if the Default relates to the failure to timely make a monetary payment due hereunder and not less than thirty (30) days in the event of non - monetary Defaults) in which the Default must be cured (the "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) days after it receives the Notice of Default, and thereafter diligently pursue said cure to completion. Al I -00526 -NBCC/ Inc rnc'1 Bay Clubs 01.13.12 Maul 13 8.2 Default by NBCC. If NBCC 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 NBCC'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 NBCC's appeal of the Notice of Default is timely and in good faith but after a public hearing of NBCC's appeal the City Council concludes that NBCC 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 NBCC's appeal is communicated to NBCC. 8.3 City's Qption to Terminate Agreement. In the event of an alleged NBCC Default, City may not terminate this Agreement without first delivering a written Notice of Default and providing NBCC with the opportunity to cure the Default within the Cure Period, as provided in Section 8.1, and complying with Section 8.2 if NBCC timely appeals any Notice of Default with respect to a non - monetary 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 of a Default. The validity of any termination may be judicially challenged by NBCC. Any such judicial challenge must be brought within thirty (30) days of service on NBCC, 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. It is the intention of the Parties that, while the City Council may declare a default and initiate termination of this Agreement on the basis of substantial evidence in the administrative record, if the declaration of default is contested in court, the court will review the default claim de nnovo and base its decision on whether the preponderance of evidence supports the City Council's finding of breach. 8.4 Default by City. If NBCC alleges a City Default and alleges that the City has not cured the Default within the Cure Period, NBCC 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 NBCC's performance hereunder shall neither be a NBCC Default nor constitute grounds for termination or cancellation of this Agreement by City and shall, at NBCC's option (and provided NBCC 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 Party 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. AI I- 00526 -NBM Inc Intl Bay Clubs 01.13.12 Final 14 8.6 Specific Performance Remedy. 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 NBCC 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. NBCC 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 NBCC or City for such efforts. For the above reasons, City and NBCC agree that damages would not be an adequate remedy if either City or NBCC fails to carry out its obligations under this Agreement. Therefore, specific performance of this Agreement is necessary to compensate NBCC if City fails to carry out its obligations under this Agreement or to compensate City if NBCC falls to carry out its obligations under this Agreement. 8.7 Mgnetga Damages. 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 NBCC as set forth herein; and (ii) nothing in this Section 8.7 is intended or shall be interpreted to limit or restrict 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. 8.8 Additional City Remedy for NBCC's Default. In the event of any Default by NBCC, 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 NBCC's Default without recourse from NBCC 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 Recovergal Eenses by Prevailing Partin Anv 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 Parry 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 California 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 A) 1-00526 -NBM lac iafl Bay Clubs 61,1312 Final 15 initiation of the Action, regardless of whether the Action is prosecuted to a final judgment or decision. 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 NBCC's obligation to pay Public Benefit Fees, be extended pursuant to this Section. 10. Indemnity Obligations of NBCC. 10.1 Indemnity Arising From Acts or Omissions of NBCC. NBCC shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City and City's officials, employees, agents, attorneys, and contractors (collectively, the "Cites Affiliated Parties ") from and against all suits, claims, liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, obligations, and expenses (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 NBCC or NBCC's agents, contractors, subcontractors, agents, or employees in the course of Development of the Project or any other activities of NBCC relating to the Property or pursuant to this Agreement. City shall have the right to select and retain counsel to defend any Claim filed against City and/or any of City's Affiliated Parties, and NBCC shall pay the reasonable cost for defense of any Claim.

Said indemnity obligation shall include payment of attorney's fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. City shall promptly notify NBCC of any such Claim and City shall cooperate with NBCC in the defense of such Claim. If City fails to promptly notify NBCC of such Claim, NBCC shall not be responsible to indemnify, defend, and hold City harmless from such Claim until NBCC is so notified and if City fails to cooperate in the defense of a Claim NBCC 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 NBCC's indemnity obligation, provided that such counsel Ai 1- 00526 -NBM E= wt Pay Ctnbs 61 mn Final 16 shall reasonably cooperate with NBCC in an effort to minimize the total litigation expenses incurred by NBCC. In the event either City or NBCC recovers any attorney's fees, expert witness fees, costs, interest, or other amounts from the party or parties asserting the Claim, NBCC 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 Environmental lndemnity. In addition to its indemnity obligations set forth in Section 10.1, from and after the Agreement Date NBCC 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 NBCC in connection with NBCC's Development of the Project. 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. IL Assiartment. NBCC shall have the right to sell, transfer, or assign (hereinafter, collectively, a "Transfer ") NBCC's 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 "NBCC" 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 sea.) or City's local subdivision ordinance and any such Transfer shall include the assignment and assumption of NBCC'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 NBCC's rights or interest under this Agreement shall be made unless made together with the Transfer of all or a part of the Lease Property; and (ii) prior to the effective date of any proposed Transfer, NBCC (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 NBCC and in a form subject to the reasonable approval of the City Attorney of City (or designee), pursuant to which the NBCC assigns to the successor and the successor assumes from the transferring NBCC all of the rights and obligations of the transferring NBCC 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's right to develop the portion of the Property so Transferred. Atl- WS26•NBCCI Im WI Bay Clubs 41.13.12 Must' 17 Notwithstanding any Transfer, the NBCC shall continue to be jointly and severally liable to City, together with the successor to NBCC, to perform all of the transferred obligations set forth in or arising under this Agreement unless the NBCC is given a release in writing by City.

Mortgagee Rights. 12.1 Encumbrances on Property. The Parties agree that this Agreement shall not prevent or limit NBCC 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. 12.2 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.
