DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is
entered into as of May _, 2004, by and between the COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, a public body, corporate and politic
(the "CDC"), on the one hand, and MARINA GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT COMPANY,
LLC, a California limited liability company (the "Developer") and SYCUAN TRIBAL
DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, a Tribally chartered corporation ("STDC") on the other.
RECITALS
The following recitals are a substantive part of this Agreement:
1. In furtherance of the objectives of the California Community Redevelopment
Law, the CDC desires to redevelop a certain approximately 6.32 acre portion of the National
City Redevelopment Project (the "Redevelopment Project") located at the southeast corner of
Bay Marina Drive and Harrison Avenue (APNs 559-160-03, 09, 11 and 21, 559-1 17-14 and 15)
(the "Site", more fully described below) in the City of National City (the "City"). The CDC
currently owns the Site, which was previously developed with urban uses.
2. The CDC and Developer/STDC desire by this Agreement for the
Developer/STDC to purchase the Site from the CDC, and for the Developer/STDC to construct
an approximately one hundred fifty (150) room three star hotel with a restaurant and 8,000
square feet of conference facilities; another structure with an approximately 4,000 square foot
restaurant and approximately 10,000 square feet of office/commercial/tourist space; a 1,000
square foot public vista point; and all with associated parking and on -site improvements (the
"Improvements").
3. The Parties have determined that some Hazardous Materials, as defined below,
are present under the Site.
4. As of the Date of the Agreement, the CDC has submitted a Property Mitigation
Plan ("PMP") for the Site to the regulatory agencies asserting jurisdiction over the Site. The
PMP is intended to mitigate the Site to a condition such that the Site can receive approval from
the DEH (as defined below) for the development and occupancy of the planned Improvements
and in a manner that is intended to qualify for immunity under the Polanco Act (set forth at
California Health and Safety Code §33459 et seq.). The Parties understand that the current PMP
will need to be amended (or an additional Property Mitigation Plan prepared) (the "New PMP")
in light of current plans for the Improvements for the Site.
5. The Parties believe that neither the CDC, nor the Developer/STDC, caused the
environmental contamination on the Site. However, completion of the Remedial Work is in the
best interests of the CDC and the City and the health, safety and welfare of the residents and
taxpayers of the Redevelopment Project and the City, and is in accord with the public purposes
and provisions of applicable state and local laws. The CDC desires to see the Remedial Work
completed under the Polanco Act to effectuate reuse of the Site in accordance with the
017.233970.11
Redevelopment Plan as well as to provide the CDC, Developer/STDC and any subsequent
purchasers of all or a portion of the Site with immunity pursuant to Health and Safety Code
§33459.3.
6. The CDC's acquisition of the Site and disposition of the Site to the
Developer/STDC, and the Developer's/STDC's acquisition of the Site and construction and
completion of the Improvements pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, are in the vital and
best interest of the City and the health, safety, morals and welfare of its residents, and in accord
with the public purposes and provisions of applicable state and local laws and requirements
under which the redevelopment of the Redevelopment Project has been undertaken.
7. STDC, as a Tribally chartered corporation, enjoys sovereign immunity derived
from its being chartered by the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation ("Tribe"), and as a
condition of entering this Agreement and conveying title under this Agreement, CDC requires an
express limited waiver of STDC's sovereign immunity to insure the enforceability of this
Agreement.

then any party that has fully performed under this Agreement may, in writing, demand the return
of money or property and terminate the Escrow. If any party makes a written demand for return
of documents or properties, the Escrow shall not terminate until five (5) days after Escrow Agent
shall have delivered copies of such demand to all other parties at the respective addresses shown
in this Agreement. If any objections are raised within said five (5) day period, Escrow Agent is
authorized to hold all papers and documents until instructed by a court of competent jurisdiction
or by mutual written instructions of the parties. Developer, however, shall have the sole option
to terminate escrow and withdraw any money deposited by it with respect to the Closing less
Developer's share of costs of Escrow, if any. Termination of the Escrow shall not prejudice any
legal rights either party may have against the other arising from this Agreement. If no demands
to terminate Escrow are made, the Escrow Agent shall proceed with the Closing as soon as
possible.

not the obligation, to remove any disapproved Exceptions within thirty (30) days after receiving
written notice of Developer's/STDC's disapproval or provide assurances satisfactory to

(a) Authority. CDC is a public body, corporate and politic, existing
pursuant to the California Community Redevelopment Law (California Health and Safety Code
Section 33000), which has been authorized to transact business pursuant to action of the City.
(b) FIRPTA. CDC is not a "foreign person" within the parameters of
FIRPTA or any similar state statute, or is exempt from the provisions of FIRPTA or any similar
state statute, or that CDC has complied and will comply with all the requirements under FIRPTA
or any similar state statute.
(c) No Conflict. To the best of CDC's knowledge, CDC's execution,
delivery and performance of its obligations under this Agreement will not constitute a default or
a breach under any contract, agreement or order to which CDC is a party or by which it is bound.
(d) Litigation. There are no claims, causes of action or other
litigation or proceedings pending or, to the Actual Knowledge of the CDC, threatened with
respect to the ownership, operation or environmental condition of the Site or any part thereof
(including disputes with mortgagees, governmental authorities, utility companies, contractors,
adjoining landowners or suppliers of goods and services).
(e) Violation. To the Actual Knowledge of the CDC, there are no
violations of any health, safety, pollution, zoning or other laws, ordinances, rules or regulations
with respect to the Site, which have not heretofore been entirely corrected or will not be
corrected upon completion of the Remedial Work (and Additional Remedial Work, if
13
017.233970.11
applicable). In the event CDC has Actual Knowledge of any such violations, CDC shall
(i) immediately provide Developer with copies of all documents evidencing such violation, and
(ii) cure such violation prior to Closing.
(f) No CDC Bankruptcy. CDC is not the subject of a bankruptcy
proceeding.
(g) Grading Plan. CDC shall cooperate with the Developer and
CIWMB and/or its representatives in connection with finalizing specifications for the Grading

CDC makes no representations or warranties that the Site will be graded to a geotechnical
condition suitable for the Improvements, however, and the Developer/STDC assumes all
responsibility for the compaction of the Site and any future settling or subsidence, if any, and for
the performance of all Parking Lot Maintenance.
(h) Hazardous Materials. To the Actual Knowledge of the CDC
there are no Hazardous Materials on the Site other than as disclosed in the Environmental
Reports and/or PMP.
Until the Closing, CDC shall, upon the change of any fact or condition which would
cause any of the warranties and representations in this Section 206.1 not to be materially true as
of Closing, immediately give written notice of such changed fact or condition to
Developer/STDC. Such exception(s) to a representation shall not be deemed a breach by CDC
hereunder, but shall constitute an exception which Developer/STDC shall have a right to approve
or disapprove within thirty (30) days after receipt of Notice from the CDC if such exception
would have a material effect on the value and/or operation of the Site. The Developer's/STDC's
failure to either approve or disapprove any such exception(s) within said thirty (30) day period
shall be deemed to constitute Developer's/STDC's approval of such exception(s). If
Developer/STDC elects to close Escrow following disclosure of such information, CDC's
representations and warranties contained herein shall be deemed to have been made as of the
Closing, subject to such exception(s). If, following the disclosure of such information,
Developer/STDC elects to not close Escrow, then this Agreement and the Escrow shall
automatically terminate, and neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities
hereunder. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 206.1 shall survive the
Closing.
206.2 Developer and STDC Representations. Developer and STDC represent
and warrant to CDC as follows:
(a) Authority. Developer is a limited liability company formed in and
in good standing under the laws of the State of California, and is qualified to do business within
the State of California. Upon reasonable notice, STDC will make available to CDC copies of its
organizational documents for review. Developer and STDC have full right, power and lawful
authority to purchase and accept the conveyance of the Site and undertake all obligations as
provided herein and the execution, performance and delivery of this Agreement by Developer
and STDC has been fully authorized by all requisite actions on the part of the Developer and
STDC and any necessary third parties.
14
017.233970.11
(b) No Conflict. To the best of Developer's and STDC's knowledge,
Developer's execution, delivery and performance of their obligations under this Agreement will
not constitute a default or a breach under any contract, agreement or order to which the
Developer or STDC is a party or by which either is bound.
(c) No Bankruptcy. Neither Developer nor STDC is the subject of a
bankruptcy proceeding.
(d) No Gaming Intent. Neither Developer nor STDC has any intent
to pursue or operate gaming activities on the Site. The preceding sentence shall not preclude
gaming activity in the future on the Site, however, if either (i) gaming activity becomes generally
lawful within the City limits of the City, or (ii) pursuant to a vote of the general electorate of the
City, gaming is approved specifically for the Site. In the event gaming becomes a permitted use
pursuant to the preceding sentence it shall be conditioned upon (a) all necessary or appropriate
permits for such activity first being received, and (b) the primary business activity on the Site
continuing to be the operation of a three star hotel, restaurant and related
office/tourist/commercial uses.
Until the Closing, Developer and STDC shall, upon the change of any fact or condition
which would cause any of the warranties and representations in this Section 206.2 not to be true
as of Closing, immediately give written notice of such changed fact or condition to CDC. Such
exception(s) to a representation shall not be deemed a breach by Developer or STDC hereunder,
but shall constitute an exception which CDC shall have a right to approve or disapprove within
thirty (30) days after receipt of Notice from the Developer or STDC if such exception would
have an effect on the value and/or operation of the Site. The CDC's failure to either approve or
disapprove and such exceptions within said thirty (30) day period shall be deemed to constitute
CDC's approval of such exception(s). If CDC elects to close Escrow following disclosure of
such information, Developer's/STDC's representations and warranties contained herein shall be
deemed to have been made as of the Closing, subject to such exception(s). If, following the
disclosure of such information, CDC elects to not close Escrow, then this Agreement and the
Escrow shall automatically terminate, and neither party shall have any further rights, obligations
or liabilities hereunder. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 206.2 shall
survive the Closing.
207. Studies and Reports. Prior to the Closing, representatives of Developer/STDC
shall have the right of access to all portions of the Site for the purpose of obtaining data and
making surveys and tests necessary to carry out this Agreement, including the investigation of
the environmental condition of the Site pursuant to Section 208 hereof. Any preliminary work
undertaken on the Site by Developer/STDC prior to the Closing shall be done at the sole expense
of the Developer/STDC, and the Developer's/STDC's execution of a right of entry agreement to
be provided by the CDC. Any preliminary work shall be undertaken only after securing any
necessary permits from the appropriate governmental agencies.
208. Condition of the Site.
208.1 Disclosure. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, CDC also has
caused certain investigations of the environmental condition of the Site, and the land adjacent to
15
017.233970.11
or near the Site, if applicable, as specifically identified in Attachment No. 7 (the "CDC
Environmental Reports"). Developer/STDC acknowledges that Developer/STDC has been
provided copies of each of the CDC Environmental Reports. In addition to this investigation of
site conditions, CDC has applied for and received a Resolution of the Cal -EPA that appointed the
County of San Diego, Department of Environmental Health ("DEH"), as "administering agency"
for the Site, as that term is used in the Uniform Agency Review Law (Health and Safety Code §§
25260, et seq.) As such, the DEH will have authority to determine whether investigations are
adequate and whether they comply with state and local laws, ordinances, regulations and
standards. Pursuant to this appointment, the CDC has provided a Master Work Plan to the DEH
that encompasses the Site, and which outlines a process for its mitigation through the use of a
Property Mitigation Plan ("PMP") that will be developed in coordination with Site Improvement
proposals.
208.2 Investigation of Site. In Developer's/STDC's sole discretion, Developer/
STDC shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to engage its own environmental
consultant ("Developer's Environmental Consultant") to conduct an environmental assessment
and make such investigations as Developer/STDC deems necessary, including any "Phase I"
and/or "Phase II" investigations of the Site (including soil, vapor, and groundwater sampling and
monitoring), and shall promptly provide CDC a copy of all final reports and test results (not
including drags), if any, provided by Developer's Environmental Consultant ("Developer's
Environmental Reports"). Developer shall provide proposed plans for the Improvements at the
Site, including its requested specifications in connection with the Grading Plan, indicating where
construction excavation is planned, and showing all final grades, paving and other site hardscape,
in order for the CDC to process the New PMP, in order to make the PMP (and New PMP)
satisfactory to the DEH for the proposed end use of the Site and the protection of the health of
construction workers during the development phase. CDC and Developer will cooperate
regarding the suitability of the PMP and New PMP for the proposed development.
208.3 CDC's Performance of Remedial Work The Developer, shall be at no
cost or expense in completing the Remedial Work in compliance with the PMP. CDC shall bear
the cost of preparing the New PMP. CDC shall be obligated to perform or arrange for the
performance of the Additional Remedial Work, provided, after good faith commercially
reasonable efforts, the CDC secures adequate (in its reasonable discretion) funding for same.
Developer and Developer's Environmental Consultant shall have the right to be present and
oversee the Remedial Work (and Additional Remedial Work, if any) at their sole cost and
expense. Provided the Remedial Work (and Additional Remedial Work if applicable) are
completed, CDC shall submit all necessary documentation to the governmental agency with
oversight authority to obtain the No Further Action Letter. Developer/STDC shall be responsible
for all costs and expenses of the Parking Lot Maintenance. CDC shall be responsible for
providing and/or arranging for the payment of all other costs and expenses of complying with
any Post -Closure Conditions other than the Parking Lot Maintenance.
208.4 CDC Responsibilities for Hazardous Materials and Remedial Work.
CDC shall use good faith commercially reasonable efforts, at no cost or expense to Developer, to
secure regulatory approval for the PMP (and New PMP) for the Site, and, to the extent provided
by law, will endeavor to secure a determination from the DEH so that Polanco Act immunities
can attach, to the benefit of all legally allowed parties, including the Developer/STDC.
16
017.233970.11
However, Developer/STDC accepts that not all contamination may be removed from the Site
following completion of activities described in the PMP (and New PMP if applicable), even after
the issuance of the No Further Action Letter. Assuming that the Remedial Work (and Additional
Remedial Work, if applicable) are completed, Developer/STDC understands that although the
Site will be prepared to a condition in which impacts have been mitigated to a level where the
Site meets human health risk criteria, and construction -related nuisance impacts have been
abated (or will be abated simultaneously with construction activities), that some substances may
remain at the Site, at or below concentrations consistent with regulatory guidelines for hotel/
commercial development, and that compliance with the Post -Closing Conditions may be
required. As a result of the Polanco Act, the Developer/STDC, its lender, successors and assigns
should have certain immunities from liability for future remediation of these substances by
operation of state law. However, should Developer/STDC, its successors or assigns determine or
desire to undertake future construction or additional remediation activities at the Site, any
increased costs related to the redevelopment by reason of residual impacts shall be borne by
Developer/STDC, its successor and assigns, and the CDC will have no responsibility therefor. In
addition, Developer/STDC, and its successors and assigns, accept that the immunities described
in the Polanco Act do not shield or protect against liability as a result of new releases of
Hazardous Materials that may occur during or after the redevelopment process. CDC shall have
no responsibility for any such new releases, and Developer/STDC waives and abandons any such
claims for liability against the CDC for such new releases.
208.5 Warranties As To Site. To the extent authorized by contract or law, the
CDC shall assign to the Developer/STDC all warranties and guaranties with respect to the
environmental condition of the Site, if any, that the CDC may have received from prior owners
of the Site.
208.6 Mutual Representations The Parties recognize that redevelopment of the
Site is dependent upon many factors, one of which is receipt of the immunities upon completion
of the Remedial Work (and Additional Remedial Work, if applicable) as provided in the Polanco
Act. To that end, the Parties hereto agree that each have and will continue to exercise best
efforts to fulfill the obligations and duties required under the Polanco Act, including without
limitation, providing notices as required, completing the Remedial Work (and subject to Section
208.3, the Additional Remedial Work, if applicable) in accordance with the approved PMP (and
New PMP), and requesting closure and the No Further Action Letter.
208.7 Rail Lines. CDC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
quitclaims for all property rights associated with rail lines located on the Site.
209. "As Is" Sale. DEVELOPER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, SUBJECT TO THE
EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF CDC UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT, DEVELOPER IS PURCHASING THE SITE "AS IS" IN RELIANCE
SOLELY ON: (A) DEVELOPER'S OWN INSPECTIONS OF THE SITE; (B) DEVELOPER'S
INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION OF THE TRUTH OF ANY DOCUMENTS MADE
AVAILABLE TO DEVELOPER; AND (C) THE OPINIONS AND ADVICE CONCERNING
THE SITE OF CONSULTANTS ENGAGED BY DEVELOPER. DEVELOPER
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS,
WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF CDC EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS
17
017.233970.11
AGREEMENT, CDC IS NOT MAKING ANY OTHER WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS EXPRESS OR IMPLIED OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER WITH
RESPECT TO THE SITE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION: (i) THE QUALITY,
NATURE, ADEQUACY AND PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE SITE, (ii) THE QUALITY,
NATURE, ADEQUACY, AND PHYSICAL CONDITION OF SOILS, GEOLOGY AND ANY
GROUNDWATER RELATING TO THE SITE, (iii) THE EXISTENCE, QUALITY, NATURE,
ADEQUACY AND PHYSICAL CONDITION OF UTILITIES SERVING THE SITE, (iv) THE
SITE'S USE, HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS, SUITABILITY,
VALUE OR ADEQUACY OF THE SITE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, (v) THE
COMPLIANCE OF THE SITE WITH ANY APPLICABLE CODES, LAWS, REGULATIONS,
STATUTES, ORDINANCES, COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS OF ANY
GOVERNMENTAL OR QUASI -GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY OR OF ANY OTHER
PERSON OR ENTITY, (vi) THE PRESENCE OF ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON,
UNDER OR ABOUT THE SITE OR THE ADJOINING OR NEIGHBORING SITE, (vii) THE
CONDITION OF TITLE TO THE SITE, AND (viii) THE ECONOMICS OF THE
OPERATION OF THE SITE AS A HOTEL OR ANY OTHER USE. DEVELOPER
WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS NOT RELIED AND WILL NOT RELY
ON, EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION
OF CDC OR ITS AGENTS NOT EXPLICITLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.
300. DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE

and thorough consideration. The CDC shall designate a CDC employee/consultant to serve as
the project manager who is responsible for the coordination of the CDC's activities under this
Agreement and for expediting the land use approval and permitting process. If requested by the
CIWMB, Developer shall reasonably coordinate with the CIWMB such that all utility trenching
in the area of the Site to be capped pursuant to the Grading Plan is accomplished at the same
time as the capping.
302.4 Revisions. If the Developer/STDC desires to propose any material
revisions to the CDC -approved Basic Concept Drawings, Site Plan Drawings or Construction
Drawings, it shall submit such proposed changes to the CDC, and shall also proceed in
accordance with any and all State and local laws and regulations regarding such revisions, within
the time frame set forth in the Schedule of Performance. At the sole discretion of the CDC, if
any material change in the basic uses of the Site is proposed in the Basic Concept Drawings, Site
Plan Drawings or Construction Drawings from the basic uses of the Site as provided for in this
Agreement, then this Agreement is subject to re -negotiation of all terms and conditions,
including without limitation, the economic terms of the Agreement. If the Basic Concept
Drawings, Site Plan Drawings or Construction Drawings, as modified by the proposed change,
generally and substantially conform to the requirements of this Section 302 of this Agreement
and the Scope of Development, the CDC Director shall review the proposed change and notify
the Developer/STDC in writing within fifteen (15) days after submission to the CDC as to
whether the proposed change is approved or disapproved. In the event that the CDC fails to act
within the fifteen (15) day time period set forth above, the proposed change or changes shall be
deemed approved by the CDC. The CDC's Director is authorized to approve changes to the
CDC -approved Basic Concept Drawings, Site Plan Drawings and Construction Drawings
provided such changes: 1) do not materially reduce the quality of materials to be used; and 2) do
not reduce the imaginative and unique qualities of the project design. Any and all change orders
or revisions required by the City and its inspectors which are required under the Municipal Code
and all other applicable Uniform Codes (e.g. Building, Plumbing, Fire, Electrical, etc.) and under
other applicable laws and regulations shall be included by the Developer in its Basic Concept
Drawings, Site Plan Drawings and Construction Drawings and completed during the construction
of the Improvements.
302.5 Defects in Plans. The CDC shall not be responsible either to the
Developer/STDC or to third parties in any way for any defects in the Basic Concept Drawings,
Grading Plan, the Site Plan Drawings or the Construction Drawings, or other documents

according to the approved Basic Concept Drawings, Site Plan Drawings or Construction
19
017.233970.11
Drawings or other documents prepared by or for the Developer/STDC, nor for any delays
reasonably caused by the review and approval processes established by this Section 302.
303. Land Use Approvals. Before commencement of construction of the
Improvements or other works of improvement upon the Site, the Developer/STDC shall, at its
own expense, secure or cause to be secured any and all land use and other entitlements, permits
and approvals which may be required for the Improvements by the City or any other
governmental agency affected by such construction or work. The Developer/STDC and CDC (if
appropriate) shall jointly apply for a Local Coastal Plan approval for the Improvements. The
Developer/STDC shall, without limitation, apply for and secure the following, and pay all costs,
charges and fees associated therewith:
(a) City Site Plan Approval.
(b) All other permits and fees required by the City, County of San
Diego, and other governmental agencies with jurisdiction over the Improvements.
(c) Any environmental studies and documents required pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act, if any.
The execution of this Agreement does not, however, constitute the granting of or a
commitment to obtain any required land use permits, entitlements or approvals required by the
CDC or the City.
304. Schedule of Performance. The Developer/STDC shall submit all Site Plan
Drawings and Construction Drawings, commence and complete construction of all of the
Improvements, and satisfy all other obligations and conditions of this Agreement, within the
times established in the Schedule of Performance.
305. Cost of Construction. Except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth in this
Agreement, specifically including CDC's obligation to construct certain public improvements at
CDC's expense as set forth in the Scope of Development, all of the cost of planning, designing,
developing and constructing all of the Improvements, site preparation and grading shall be borne
solely by the Developer/STDC.
306. Insurance Requirements. The Developer/STDC shall take out and maintain or
shall cause its general contractor to take out and maintain until the issuance of the Release of
Construction Covenants pursuant to Section 310 of this Agreement, a comprehensive general
liability policy in the minimum amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) combined single
limit policy, or such other policy limits as the CDC may approve at its discretion, including
contractual liability, as shall protect the Developer/STDC, City and CDC from claims for such
damages, and which policy shall be issued by a "B+" or higher rated insurance carrier. Such
policy or policies shall be written on an occurrence form. The Developer/STDC shall also
furnish or cause to be furnished to the CDC evidence satisfactory to the CDC that any contractor
with whom it has contracted for the performance of work on the Site or otherwise pursuant to
this Agreement carries workers' compensation insurance as required by law. The
Developer/STDC shall furnish a certificate of insurance countersigned by an authorized agent of
the insurance carrier on a form approved by the CDC setting forth the general provisions of the
20
017.233970.11
insurance coverage. This countersigned certificate shall name the City and the CDC and their
respective officers, agents, and employees as additionally insured parties under the policy, and
the certificate shall be accompanied by a duly executed endorsement evidencing such additional
insured status. The certificate and endorsement by the insurance carrier shall contain a statement
of obligation on the part of the carrier to notify City and the CDC of any material change,
cancellation or termination of the coverage at least thirty (30) days in advance of the effective
date of any such material change, cancellation or termination. Coverage provided hereunder by
the Developer/STDC shall be primary insurance and not be contributing with any insurance
maintained by the CDC or City, and the policy shall contain such an endorsement. The
insurance policy or the endorsement shall contain a waiver of subrogation for the benefit of the
City and the CDC. The Developer/STDC shall furnish the required certificate prior to the
Closing as a CDC Condition Precedent to the Closing.
307. Rights of Access. Prior to the issuance of a Release of Construction Covenants
(as specified in Section 310 of this Agreement), for purposes of assuring compliance with this
Agreement, representatives of the CDC shall have the right of reasonable access to the Site,
without charges or fees, at normal construction hours during the period of construction for the
purposes of this Agreement, including but not limited to, the inspection of the work being
performed in constructing the Improvements so long as CDC representatives comply with all
safety rules. The CDC (or its representatives) shall, except in emergency situations, notify the
Developer/STDC at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to exercising its rights pursuant to this
Section 307.
308. Compliance with Laws. The Developer/STDC shall carry out the design,
construction and operation of the Improvements in conformity with all applicable laws, including
all applicable state labor standards, the City zoning and development standards, building,

the Americans With Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 12101, et seq., Government Code
Section 4450, et seq., Government Code Section 11135, et seq., and the Unruh Civil Rights Act,
Civil Code Section 51, et seq.
308.1 Nondiscrimination in Employment. Developer/STDC agrees that all
persons employed or applying for employment by it, its affiliates, subsidiaries, or holding
companies, and all subcontractors, bidders and vendors, are and will be treated equally by it
without regard to, or because of race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, sex, age,
pregnancy, childbirth or related medical condition, medical condition (cancer related) or physical
or mental disability, and in compliance with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C.
Section 2000, et seq., the Federal Equal Pay Act of 1963, 29 U.S.C. Section 206(d), the Age

California Equal Pay Law, Cal. Labor Code Section 1197.5, Cal. Government Code
Section 11135, the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 12101, et seq., and all
other anti -discrimination laws and regulations of the United States and the State of California as
they now exist or may hereafter be amended.
21
017.233970.11
308.2 Prevailing Wages. All work pursuant to this Agreement shall be done in
accordance with all applicable federal and state labor standards. Developer/STDC is aware of
Sections 33423 — 33426 of the California Health and Safety Code and Sections 1770 — 1780 of
the California Labor Code and is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Sections
1720 et. seq. and 1770 et seq. as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, § 16000 et. seq.
("Prevailing Wage Laws"), which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the
performance of other requirements on certain "public works" and "maintenance" projects. In
light of the fact that the Site is being purchased by Developer/STDC for its fair market value
without public subsidy, it is the belief and understanding of the CDC and Developer/STDC that
this Agreement does not involve a "public work" or "maintenance" project, as defined by the
Prevailing Wage Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a determination should ever
be made that this Agreement does involve a "public work" or "maintenance project"
Developer/STDC agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. Developer/STDC
shall defend, indemnify and hold the CDC, its elected officials, officers, employees and agents
free and harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, costs, penalties or interest arising out of
any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws in connection with this
Agreement. If the CDC or any of the indemnified parties are named as a party in any dispute
described in this Section 308.2, Developer/STDC agrees that the CDC and the other indemnified
parties may appoint their own independent counsel who are reasonably acceptable to
Developer/STDC, and Developer/STDC agrees to pay all reasonable attorneys' fees and defense
costs of the CDC and the other indemnified parties, in addition to all other damages, fines,
penalties and losses incurred by the CDC and the other indemnified parties as a result of the
action.
308.3 Taxes and Assessments. Upon and after the Closing, at all times during
which the Developer/STDC owns the Site, the Developer/STDC shall pay prior to delinquency
all ad valorem real estate taxes and assessments on the Site, subject to the Developer's/STDC's
right to contest in good faith any such taxes. The Developer/STDC agrees that during all times
that the CDC is permitted to receive property tax increment from the Redevelopment Project
pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33670 (as it may he amended or substituted).
308.4 Lien and Stop Notices. Developer/STDC shall not allow to be placed on
the Site or any part thereof any lien or stop notice. If a claim of a lien or stop notice is given or
recorded affecting the Improvements, Developer/STDC shall, within sixty (60) days of such
recording or service or, within five (5) days of CDC's demand thereafter, whichever last occurs:
(a) Pay and discharge the same; or
(b) Effect the release thereof by recording and delivering to CDC a
surety bond in sufficient form and amount, or otherwise; or
(c) Provide CDC with other assurances, which CDC deems, in its sole
discretion, to be satisfactory for the payment of such lien or bonded stop notice and for the full
and continuous protection of CDC from the effect of such lien or bonded stop notice.
309. Release of Construction Covenants. Promptly after completion of the
Improvements in conformity with this Agreement, the CDC shall furnish the Developer/STDC
22
017.233970.11
with a "Release of Construction Covenants," in the form of Attachment No. 6 hereto which is
incorporated herein by reference. The CDC shall not unreasonably withhold such Release of
Construction Covenants. The Release of Construction Covenants shall be a conclusive
determination of satisfactory completion of the Improvements and the Release of Construction
Covenants shall so state. Any party then owning or thereafter purchasing, leasing or otherwise
acquiring any interest in the Site shall not (because of such ownership, purchase, lease or
acquisition) incur any obligation or liability under this Agreement except for those continuing
covenants as described in the Grant Deed.
If the CDC refuses or fails to furnish the Release of Construction Covenants, after written
request from the Developer/STDC, the CDC shall, within fifteen (15) days of written request
thereof, provide the Developer/STDC with a written statement of the reasons the CDC refused or
failed to furnish the Release of Construction Covenants. The statement shall also contain the
CDC's opinion of the actions the Developer/STDC must take to obtain the Release of
Construction Covenants. The Release of Construction Covenants shall not constitute evidence of
compliance with or satisfaction of any obligation of the Developer/STDC to any holder of any
mortgage, or any insurer of a mortgage securing money loaned to finance the Improvements, or
any part thereof. The Release of Construction Covenants is not a notice of completion as
referred to in Section 3093 of the California Civil Code.
310. Financing of the Improvements.
310.1 Approval of Financing. Developer/STDC shall submit to CDC
reasonable assurances that Developer has sufficient funds on hand or has obtained sufficient
commitments for construction financing necessary to undertake the development of the Site and
the construction of the Improvements in accordance with this Agreement. The CDC shall
approve or disapprove such evidence of financing commitments within fifteen (15) days of
receipt of a complete submission. Approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned.
If the CDC disapproves of the evidence of financing; CDC shall do so by Notice to
Developer/STDC stating the reasons for such disapproval and Developer/STDC shall promptly
obtain and submit to CDC new evidence of financing. CDC shall approve or disapprove such
new evidence of financing in the same manner and within the same times established in this
Section 310.1 for the approval or disapproval of the evidence of financing as initially submitted
to CDC.
310.2 No Encumbrances Except Mortgages and Deeds of Trust. Mortgages
and deeds of trust shall be permitted for the purpose of securing loans of funds to be used for
financing the construction of the Improvements (including architecture, engineering, legal, and
related direct costs as well as indirect costs) on or in connection with the Site, permanent
financing, and any other purposes necessary and appropriate in connection with development
under this Agreement. The Developer/STDC shall notify the CDC in advance of any mortgage
or deed of trust financing, if the Developer/STDC proposes to enter into the same before
completion of the construction of the Improvements.
310.3 Holder Not Obligated to Construct Improvements. The holder of any
mortgage or deed of trust authorized by this Agreement shall not be obligated by the provisions
of this Agreement to construct or complete the Improvements or any portion thereof, or to
23
017.233970.11
guarantee such construction or completion; nor shall any covenant or any other provision in this
Agreement be construed so to obligate such holder. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed
to construe, permit or authorize any such holder to devote the Site to any uses or to construct any
improvements thereon, other than those uses or improvements provided for or authorized by this
Agreement.
310.4 Notice of Default to Mortgagee or Deed of Trust Holders; Right to
Cure. With respect to any mortgage or deed of trust granted by Developer as provided herein,
whenever the CDC may deliver any notice or demand to Developer/STDC with respect to any
breach or default by the Developer/STDC in completion of construction of the Improvements,
the CDC shall at the same time deliver to each holder of record of any mortgage or deed of trust
authorized by this Agreement a copy of such notice or demand. Each such holder shall (insofar
as the rights granted by the CDC are concerned) have the right, at its option, within one hundred
twenty (120) days after the receipt of the notice, to cure or remedy or commence to cure or
remedy and thereafter to pursue with due diligence the cure or remedy of any such default and to
add the cost thereof to the mortgage debt and the lien of its mortgage. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall be deemed to permit or authorize such holder to undertake or continue the
construction or completion of the Improvements, or any portion thereof (beyond the extent
necessary to conserve or protect the improvements or construction already made) without first
having expressly assumed the Developer's/STDC's obligations to the CDC by written agreement
reasonably satisfactory to the CDC. The holder, in that event, must agree to complete, in the
manner provided in this Agreement, the improvements to which the lien or title of such holder
relates. Any such holder properly completing such improvement shall be entitled, upon
compliance with the requirements of Section 310 of this Agreement, to a Release of Construction
Covenants. It is understood that a holder shall be deemed to have satisfied the one hundred
twenty (120) day time limit set forth above for commencing to cure or remedy a
Developer/STDC default which requires title and/or possession of the Site (or portion thereof) if
and to the extent any such holder has within such one hundred twenty (120) day period
commenced proceedings to obtain title and/or possession and thereafter the holder diligently
pursues such proceedings to completion and cures or remedies the default.
310.5 Failure of Holder to Complete Improvements. In any case where, if
within one hundred twenty (120) days after the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust creating a
lien or encumbrance upon the Site or any part thereof receives a notice from the CDC of a
default by the Developer/STDC in completion of construction of any of the Improvements under
this Agreement, and such holder has not exercised the option to construct as set forth in Section
310.4, or if it has exercised the option but has defaulted hereunder and failed to timely cure such
default, the CDC may purchase the mortgage or deed of trust by payment to the holder of the
amount of the unpaid mortgage or deed of trust. If the ownership of the Site or any part thereof
has vested in the holder, the CDC, if it so desires, shall be entitled to a conveyance from the
holder to the CDC upon payment to the holder of an amount equal to the sum of the following:
(a) The unpaid mortgage or deed of trust at the time title became
vested in the holder (less all appropriate credits, including those resulting from collection and
application of rentals and other income received during foreclosure proceedings);
24
017.233970.11
attorneys' fees;
(b) All expenses with respect to foreclosure, including reasonable
(c) The net expense, if any (exclusive of general overhead) incurred
by the holder as a direct result of the subsequent management of the Site or part thereof;
(d) The costs of any Improvements made by such holder;
(e) An amount equivalent to the interest that would have accrued on
the aggregate of such amounts had all such amounts become part of the mortgage or deed of trust
debt and such debt had continued in existence to the date of payment by CDC; and,
(f) Any customary prepayment charges imposed by the lender
pursuant to its loan documents and agreed to by Developer/STDC.
310.6 Right the CDC to Cure Mortgage or Deed of Trust. In the event of a
mortgage or deed of trust default or breach by Developer/STDC prior to the completion of the
construction of any of the Improvements or any part thereof, Developer/STDC shall immediately
deliver to CDC a copy of any mortgage holder's notice of default. If the holder of any mortgage
or deed of trust has not exercised its option to construct, CDC shall have the right but not the
obligation to cure the default. In such event, CDC shall be entitled to reimbursement from
Developer/STDC of all proper costs and expenses incurred by CDC in curing such default. CDC
shall also be entitled to a lien upon the Site to the extent of such costs and disbursements. Any
such lien shall be junior and subordinate to the mortgages or deeds of trust pursuant to Section
310.
400. COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS
401. Use in Accordance with Redevelopment Plan. The Developer and STDC
covenant and agree for themselves, their successors, assigns, and every successor in interest to
the Site or any part thereof, that upon the Closing and during construction and thereafter, the
Developer and STDC shall devote the Site to the uses specified in the Redevelopment Plan and
this Agreement for the periods of time specified therein. All uses conducted on the Site,

conference facilities, another structure with an approximately 4000 square foot restaurant and
approximately 10,000 square feet of office/commercial/tourist space and 1000 square foot public
vista point. The preceding sentence shall not preclude gaming activity in the future on the Site,
however, if (i) such activity becomes lawful within the City limits of the City, or (ii) pursuant to
25
017.233970.11
a vote of the general electorate of the City, gaming is approved specifically for the Site. In the
event gaming becomes a permitted use pursuant to the preceding sentence it shall be conditioned
upon (a) all necessary or appropriate permits for such activity first being received, and (b) the
primary business activity on the Site continuing to be the operation of a three star hotel,
restaurant and related office/tourist/commercial uses.
403. Maintenance Covenants. The Developer and STDC shall maintain the Site and
all Improvements thereon, including all landscaping and erosion control, in a commercially
reasonable manner. Developer agrees not to further excavate any portion of the Site except as is
set forth on the Site Plan Drawings.

themselves and any successors in interest that there shall be no discrimination against or
segregation of any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex,
marital status, national origin or ancestry in the sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy,
tenure or enjoyment of the Site, nor shall the Developer or STDC themselves or any person
claiming under or through them establish or permit any such practice or practices of
discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy
of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sublessees or vendees of the Site. The foregoing covenants shall
run with the land.
The Developer and STDC shall refrain from restricting the rental, sale or lease of the Site
on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, marital status, ancestry or national origin of any person.
All such deeds, leases or contracts, including the CC&Rs, shall contain or be subject to
substantially the following nondiscrimination or non -segregation clauses:
(a) In deeds: "The grantee herein covenants by and for himself or
herself, his or her heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, and all persons claiming under or
through them, that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of, any person or group

ancestry in the sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the land
herein conveyed, nor shall the grantee or any person claiming under or through him or her,

segregation with reference to the selection, location,
number, use, or occupancy of tenants, lessees, sublessees,
subtenants, or vendees in the premises herein leased."
(c) In contracts: "There shall be no discrimination against or
segregation of, any person, or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex,
marital status, national origin, or ancestry, in the sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy,

discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy
of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sublessees or vendees of the premises."
405. Effect of Violation of the Terms and Provisions of this Agreement After
Completion of Construction. The CDC is deemed the beneficiary of the terms and provisions
of this Agreement and of the covenants running with the land, for and in its own right and for the
purposes of protecting the interests of the community and other parties, public or private, in
whose favor and for whose benefit this Agreement and the covenants running with the land have
been provided, without regard to whether the CDC has been, remains or is an owner of any land
or interest therein in the Site or in the Redevelopment Project. The CDC shall have the right, if
the Agreement or covenants are breached, to exercise all rights and remedies, and to maintain
any actions or suits at law or in equity or other proper proceedings to enforce the curing of such
breaches and to avail itself of the rights granted herein to which it or any other beneficiaries of
this Agreement and covenants may be entitled. The covenants contained in this Agreement shall

Section 401 and 402 of this Agreement shall remain in effect for the term of the Redevelopment
Plan.
(b) The covenants against discrimination, as set forth in Section 404 of
this Agreement, shall remain in effect in perpetuity.
500. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
501. Default Remedies. Subject to the extensions of time set forth in Section 602 of
this Agreement, failure by either party to perform any action or covenant required by this
Agreement within the time periods provided herein following notice and failure to cure as
described hereafter, constitutes a "Default" under this Agreement. A party claiming a Default
shall give written notice of Default to the other party specifying the Default complained of.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the claimant shall not institute any
proceeding against any other party, and the other party shall not be in Default if such party
within thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice immediately, with due diligence, commences
to cure, correct or remedy such failure or delay and shall complete such cure, correction or
remedy with diligence.
27
017.233970.11
502. Institution of Legal Actions. In addition to any other rights or remedies and
subject to the restrictions otherwise set forth in this Agreement, either party may institute an
action at law or equity to seek specific performance of the terms of this Agreement, or to cure,
correct or remedy any Default, to recover damages for any Default, or to obtain any other
remedy available at law or in equity. Such legal actions must be instituted in the Superior Court
of the County of San Diego, State of California, or in the District of the United States District
Court in which such county is located.
503. Termination by the Developer Prior to the Conveyance. In the event that prior
to the Conveyance the Developer/STDC is not in default under this Agreement and (a) the CDC
does not tender title to the Site pursuant to the Grant Deeds in the manner and condition and by
the date provided in this Agreement, or (b) one or more of the Developer's Conditions Precedent
to the Closing is not fulfilled on or before the time set forth in the Schedule of Performance and
such failure is not due to a default by the Developer, or (c) any default of the CDC prior to the
Closing is not cured within the time set forth in Section 501 hereof, after written demand by the
Developer, or (d) the Developer timely disapproves the environmental condition of the Site
pursuant to Section 208 hereof, then this Agreement may, at the option of the Developer, be
terminated by written Notice thereof to the CDC (the "Notice of Termination"). From the date
of the written Notice of Termination of this Agreement by the Developer to the CDC and
thereafter this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and there shall be no further rights or
obligations between the parties with respect to the Site by virtue of or with respect to this
Agreement.
504. Termination by the CDC Prior to the Conveyance. In the event that prior to
the Conveyance the CDC is not in Default under this Agreement and (a) the Developer or STDC
(or any successor in interest) assigns or attempts to assign the Agreement or any rights therein or
in the Site in violation of this Agreement; or (b) one or more of the CDC's Conditions Precedent
to the Closing is not fulfilled on or before the time set forth in the Schedule of Performance and
such failure is not due to a default by the CDC or City; or (c) the Developer or STDC is
otherwise in default of this Agreement and fails to cure such default within the time set forth in
Section 501 hereof; then this Agreement and any rights of the Developer and STDC or any
assignee or transferee with respect to or arising out of the Agreement or the Site, shall, at the
option of the CDC, be terminated by the CDC by written Notice thereof to the Developer/STDC.
From the date of the written Notice of Termination of this Agreement by the CDC to the
Developer/STDC and thereafter this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and there shall be no
further rights or obligations between the parties.
505. Reentry and Revesting of Title in the CDC After the Closing and Prior to
Completion of Construction. The CDC has the right, at its election, to reenter and take
possession of the Site, with all improvements thereon, and terminate and revest in the CDC the
estate conveyed to the Developer/STDC if after the Closing and prior to the issuance of the
Release of Construction Covenants, the Developer or STDC (or their successors in interest)
shall:
(a) Unless due to an Enforced Delay as described in Section 602
hereof, fail to start the construction of the Improvements as required by this Agreement for a
period of one hundred twenty (120) days after written notice thereof from the CDC; or
28
017.233970.11
(b) Abandon or substantially suspend construction of the
Improvements required by this Agreement for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days after
written notice thereof from the CDC; or
(c) Contrary to the provisions of Section 603 Transfer or suffer any
involuntary Transfer in violation of this Agreement, and such transfer has not been approved by
the CDC or rescinded within sixty (60) days of notice thereof from CDC to Developer/STDC.
Such right to reenter, terminate and revest shall be subject to and be limited by and shall
not defeat, render invalid or limit:
(a) Any mortgage or deed of trust permitted by this Agreement;
(b) Any rights or interests provided in this Agreement for the
protection of the holders of such mortgages or deeds of trust; or
(c) Any rights or interests held by a lessee in and to the property.
The Grant Deed shall contain appropriate reference and provision to give effect to the
CDC's right as set forth in this Section 505, under specified circumstances prior to recordation of
the Release of Construction Covenants, to reenter and take possession of the Site, with all
improvements thereon, and to terminate and revest in the CDC the estate conveyed to the
Developer or STDC. Upon the revesting in the CDC of title to the Site as provided in this
Section 505, the CDC shall, pursuant to its responsibilities under State law, use its reasonable
efforts to resell the Site as soon and in such manner as the CDC shall find feasible and consistent
with the objectives of such law and of the Redevelopment Plan, as it exists or may be amended,
to a qualified and responsible party or parties (as determined by the CDC) who will assume the
obligation of making or completing the Improvements, or such improvements in their stead as
shall be satisfactory to the CDC and in accordance with the uses specified for such Site or part
thereof in the Redevelopment Plan. Upon such resale of the Site, the net proceeds thereof after
repayment of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Site which is permitted by this
Agreement, shall be applied:
(i)
First, to reimburse the CDC, on its own behalf or on behalf
of the City, all costs and expenses incurred by the CDC,
excluding City and CDC staff costs, but specifically,
including, but not limited to, any expenditures by the CDC
or the City in connection with the recapture, management
and resale of the Site or part thereof (but less any income
derived by the CDC from the Site or part thereof in
connection with such management); all taxes, assessments
and water or sewer charges with respect to the Site or part
thereof which the Developer/STDC has not paid (or, in the
event that Site is exempt from taxation or assessment of
such charges during the period of ownership thereof by the
CDC, an amount, if paid, equal to such taxes, assessments,
or charges as would have been payable if the Site were not
017.233970.11
29
so exempt); any payments made or necessary to be made to
discharge any encumbrances or liens existing on the Site or
part thereof at the time or revesting of title thereto in the
CDC, or to discharge or prevent from attaching or being
made any subsequent encumbrances or liens due to
obligations, defaults or acts of the Developer or STDC,
their successors or transferees; any expenditures made or
obligations incurred with respect to the making or
completion of the improvements or any part thereof on the
Site, or part thereof; and any amounts otherwise owing the
CDC, and in the event additional proceeds are thereafter
available, then
(ii) Second, to reimburse the Developer or STDC, their,
successor or transferee, up to the amount equal to the sum
of the costs incurred for the acquisition and development of
the Site and for the improvements existing on the Site at the
time of the reentry and possession.
Any balance remaining after such reimbursements shall be retained by the CDC as its
property. The rights established in this Section 505 are not intended to be exclusive of any other
right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power, and remedy shall be cumulative
and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy authorized herein or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. These rights are to be interpreted in light of the fact
that the CDC will have conveyed the Site to the Developer and STDC for redevelopment
purposes and not for speculation in undeveloped land.
506. Acceptance of Service of Process. In the event that the Developer or STDC
commences legal action against the CDC, service of process on the CDC shall be made by
personal service upon the Director of the CDC or in such other manner as may be provided by
law. In the event that the CDC commences legal action against the Developer or STDC, service
of process on the Developer or STDC shall be made by personal service on the Developer or
STDC, whether made within or outside the State of California, or in such other manner as may
be provided by law.
507. Rights and Remedies Are Cumulative. Except as otherwise expressly stated in
this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative, and the exercise by either
party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same
or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the
other party.
508. Inaction Not a Waiver of Default. Any failures or delays by either party in
asserting any of its rights and remedies as to any Default shall not operate as a waiver of any
Default or of any such rights or remedies, or deprive either such party of its right to institute and
maintain any actions or proceedings which it may deem necessary to protect, assert or enforce
any such rights or remedies.
30
017.233970.11
509. Applicable Law. The laws of the State of California shall govern the
interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement.
510. Non -Liability of Officials and Employees of the CDC. No member, official or
employee of the CDC or the City shall be personally liable to the Developer or STDC, or any
successor in interest, in the event of any Default or breach by the CDC (or the City) or for any
amount which may become due to the Developer or STDC or their successors, or on any
obligations under the terms of this Agreement.
511. Attorneys' Fees. In any action between the parties to interpret, enforce, reform,
modify, rescind, or otherwise in connection with any of the terms or provisions of this
Agreement, the prevailing party in the action shall be entitled, in addition to damages, injunctive
relief, or any other relief to which it might be entitled, reasonable costs and expenses including,
without limitation, litigation costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.
600. GENERAL PROVISIONS
601. Notices, Demands and Communications Between the Parties. Any approval,
disapproval, demand, document or other notice ("Notice") which either party may desire to give
to the other party under this Agreement must be in writing and may be given by any
commercially acceptable means to the party to whom the Notice is directed at the address of the
party as set forth below, or at any other address as that party may later designate by Notice.

602. Enforced Delay; Extension of Times of Performance. In addition to specific
provisions of this Agreement, performance by either party hereunder shall not be deemed to be in
Default, and all performance and other dates specified in this Agreement shall be extended,
where delays or Defaults are due to causes beyond the reasonable control or without the fault of
the party claiming an extension of time to perform, which may include the following: war; acts
of international and domestic terrorism, insurrection; strikes; lockouts; riots; floods; earthquakes;
fires; casualties; acts of God; acts of the public enemy; epidemics; quarantine restrictions; freight
embargoes; lack of transportation; governmental restrictions or priority; litigation; severe
weather; inability to secure necessary labor, materials or tools; delays of any contractor,
subcontractor or supplier; acts or omissions of the other party; acts or failures to act of the City
or any other public or governmental agency or entity (other than the acts or failures to act of the
CDC which shall not excuse performance by the CDC). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, an extension of time for any such cause shall be for the period of the
enforced delay and shall commence to run from the time of the commencement of the cause, if
notice by the party claiming such extension is sent to the other party within sixty (60) days of the
commencement of the cause. Times of performance under this Agreement may also be extended
in writing by the mutual agreement of CDC and Developer/STDC. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the lack of funding to complete the Improvements
shall not constitute grounds of enforced delay pursuant to this Section 602.
603. Transfers of Interest in Site or Agreement. The qualifications and identity of
the Developer as the developer of high quality hotel, restaurant and office/tourist/commercial
development are of particular concern to the CDC. Furthermore, the parties acknowledge that
the CDC has negotiated the terms of this Agreement in contemplation of the development of the
Improvements as described in the Scope of Development of this Agreement. Accordingly, for
the period commencing upon the date of this Agreement and until the CDC's issuance of the
Release of Construction Covenants as set forth in Section 310 hereof, (a) no voluntary or
32
017.233970.11
involuntary successor in interest of the Developer/STDC shall acquire any rights or powers
under this Agreement, and (b) nor shall the Developer/STDC make any total or partial sale,
transfer, conveyance, assignment, subdivision, of the whole or any part of the Site without the
prior written approval of the CDC, except as expressly set forth herein.
603.1 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, CDC approval of a transfer of the Site or a portion of the Site shall
not be required in connection with any of the following:
(a) The transfer set forth in Section 201.2 above.
(b) Any transfer to a constituent member of the Developer or a limited
liability company, partnership, corporation, or other entity or entities in which Developer/STDC
retains a portion of the ownership or beneficial interest and retains management and control of
the transferee entity or entities.
(c) The conveyance or dedication of any portion of the Site to the City
or other appropriate governmental agency, or the granting of easements or permits to facilitate
construction of the Improvements.
(d) Any requested assignment for financing purposes (subject to such
financing being considered and approved by the CDC pursuant to Section 311 herein), including
the grant of a deed of trust to secure the funds necessary for construction of the Improvements.
(e) Any lease of commercial space within the Site to tenants in the
ordinary course of business.
In the event of a transfer by Developer/STDC under subparagraph (a) above not requiring
the CDC's prior approval, Developer/STDC nevertheless agrees that at least thirty (30) days
before such transfer it shall give written notice to CDC of such assignment and satisfactory
evidence that the assignee has assumed in writing through an assignment and assumption
agreement of all of the obligations of this Agreement. Such assignment shall release the
assigning Developer/STDC from any obligations to the CDC hereunder.
In the event of any transfer of a portion of the Site, reciprocal easements for ingress and
egress parking and similar reciprocal access shall be entered into among all Owners subject to
the reasonable approval of the CDC.
603.2 CDC Consideration of Requested Transfer. The CDC agrees that it
will not unreasonably withhold approval of a request for approval of a Transfer made pursuant to
this Section 603, provided the Developer/STDC delivers written notice to the CDC requesting
such approval. Such notice shall be accompanied by evidence regarding the proposed
transferee's development and/or operational qualifications and experience, and its financial
commitments and resources, in sufficient detail to enable the CDC to evaluate the proposed
assignee or purchaser pursuant to the criteria set forth in this Section 603 and as reasonably
determined by the CDC. The CDC may, in considering any such request, take into consideration
such factors as (i) the quality of any new and/or replacement operator, (ii) the transferee's past
performance as an developer of residential developments, (iii) the current financial condition of
33
017.233970.11
the transferee, and similar factors. The CDC agrees not to unreasonably withhold its approval of
any such requested Transfer, taking into consideration the foregoing factors.
An assignment and assumption agreement in form satisfactory to the CDC's legal counsel
shall also be required for all proposed Transfers. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the
Developer's/STDC's written notice requesting CDC approval of a Transfer pursuant to this
Section 603, the CDC shall either approve or disapprove such proposed assignment or shall
respond in writing by stating what further information, if any, the CDC reasonably requires in
order to complete the request and determine whether or not to grant the requested approval.
Upon receipt of such a response, the Developer shall promptly furnish to the CDC such further
information as may be reasonably requested. CDC may condition its approval of any transfer to
any entity that enjoys or may claim sovereign immunity, by virtue of its status as an organization
of American Indians which has a government to government relationship with the United States,
on that transferee's written consent to be bound by the waiver of sovereign immunity provisions
in this Agreement and its Attachment 8, and by CDC's satisfaction (consistent with Section
205.1(m)) that the transferee has the authority to enter and be bound by the waiver of sovereign
immunity provisions in this Agreement and its Attachment 8.
603.3 Successors and Assigns. All of the terms, covenants and conditions of
this Agreement shall be binding upon the Developer/STDC and their permitted successors and
assigns. Whenever the term "Developer" is used in this Agreement, such term shall include any
other permitted successors and assigns as herein provided.
603.4 Assignment by CDC. The CDC may assign or transfer any of its rights
or obligations under this Agreement without the approval of the Developer/STDC.
604. Relationship Between CDC and Developer. It is hereby acknowledged that the
relationship between the CDC and the Developer/STDC is not that of a partnership or joint
venture and that the CDC and the Developer/STDC shall not be deemed or construed for any
purpose to be the agent of the other. Accordingly, except as expressly provided herein or in the
Attachments hereto, the CDC shall have no rights, powers, duties or obligations with respect to
the development, operation, maintenance or management of the Improvements.
605. CDC Approvals and Actions. The CDC shall maintain authority of this
Agreement and the authority to implement this Agreement through the CDC Executive (or
acting) Director (or his duly authorized representative). The CDC Executive (or acting) Director
shall have the authority to make approvals, issue interpretations, waive provisions, and/or enter
into certain amendments of this Agreement on behalf of the CDC so long as such actions do not
materially or substantially change the uses or development permitted on the Site, or add to the
costs incurred or to be incurred by the CDC as specified herein, and such approvals,
interpretations, waivers and/or amendments may include extensions of time to perform as
specified in the Schedule of Performance. All other material and/or substantive interpretations,
waivers, or amendments shall require the consideration, action and written consent of the CDC
Board.
606. Limited Waiver of Sovereign Immunity. STDC hereby expressly makes a
limited waiver of its sovereign immunity by consenting to the exercise of personal jurisdiction
34
017.233970.11
over STDC by the courts of the State of California, and by appropriate United States District
Courts, including the District Court for the District in which the City is located, with respect to
any suit that may arise out of this Agreement.
606.1 Enforcement, levy and execution of judgment. STDC agrees that this
limited waiver of sovereign immunity allows levy and execution of any judgment against STDC
(including without limitation awards of damages and injunctions) against any asset of STDC,
including without limitation money, interests in land and any other property and rights, in like
manner as the court with subject matter jurisdiction over the case or proceeding may levy and
execute against any other entity or corporation.
606.2 Tribal court. STDC hereby waives any right it might have, under law of
the Tribe or the Kumeyaay Nation now or hereafter in effect, to invoke the jurisdiction of any
Tribal or Nation's court with respect to any matter or suit that may arise out of this Agreement.
606.3 Survival of waiver. STDC agrees this limited waiver of sovereign
immunity shall survive and continue notwithstanding any request the Tribe may make to the
United States to take title to all or any portion of the Site in trust, and notwithstanding the
acceptance of title in trust by the United States to all or any portion of the Site. STDC agrees
that this limited waiver of its sovereign immunity shall survive and continue notwithstanding the
termination of this Agreement, for purposes of seeking redress for any breaches of this
Agreement which may occur prior to the termination of this Agreement.
607. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in multiple counterparts which,
when signed by all parties, shall constitute a binding agreement. This Agreement is executed in
three (3) originals, each of which is deemed to be an original.
608. Integration. This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the
parties relating to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, notwithstanding any previous
negotiations or agreements between the parties or their predecessors in interest with respect to all
or any part of the subject matter hereof. All prior or contemporaneous agreements,
understandings, representations and statements, oral or written, are merged in this Agreement
and shall be of no further force or effect. Each party is entering this Agreement based solely
upon the representations set forth herein and upon each party's own independent investigation of
any and all facts such party deems material. This Agreement includes Attachment Nos. 1
through 7, which are incorporated herein.
609. Real Estate Brokerage Commission. The CDC and the Developer/STDC each
represent and warrant to the other that no broker or finder is entitled to any commission or
finder's fee in connection with the Developer's/STDC's acquisition of the Site from the CDC.
The parties agree to defend and hold harmless the other party from any claim to any such
commission or fee from any other broker, agent or finder with respect to this Agreement which is
payable by such party.
610. Titles and Captions. Titles and captions are for convenience of reference only
and do not define, describe or limit the scope or the intent of this Agreement or of any of its
35
017.233970.11
terms. Reference to section numbers is to sections in this Agreement, unless expressly stated
otherwise.
611. Interpretation. As used in this Agreement, masculine, feminine or neuter gender
and the singular or plural number shall each be deemed to include the others where and when the
context so dictates. The word "including" shall be construed as if followed by the words
"without limitation." This Agreement shall be interpreted as though prepared jointly by both
parties. STDC agrees that all rules of interpretation of contracts or documents affecting Indians,
to the effect that the contracts or documents should be construed and ambiguity resolved in favor
of the Indian party, shall have no application to this Agreement, as STDC contracts here without
disadvantage or disability of any kind.
612. No Waiver. A waiver by either party of a breach of any of the covenants,
conditions or agreements under this Agreement to be performed by the other party shall not be
construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or other covenants, agreements,
restrictions or conditions of this Agreement.
613. Modifications. Any alteration, change or modification of or to this Agreement,
in order to become effective, shall be made in writing and in each instance signed on behalf of
each party.
614. Severability. If any term, provision, condition or covenant of this Agreement or
its application to any party or circumstances shall be held, to any extent, invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of the term, provision,
condition or covenant to persons or circumstances other than those as to whom or which it is
held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected, and shall be valid and enforceable to the
fullest extent permitted by law.
615. Computation of Time. The time in which any act is to be done under this
Agreement is computed by excluding the first day (such as the day escrow opens), and including
the last day, unless the last day is a holiday or Saturday or Sunday, and then that day is also
excluded. The term "holiday" shall mean all holidays as specified in Section 6700 and 6701 of
the California Government Code. If any act is to be done by a particular time during a day, that
time shall be Pacific Time Zone time.
616. Legal Advice. Each party represents and warrants to the other the following:
they have carefully read this Agreement, and in signing this Agreement, they do so with full
knowledge of any right which they may have; they have received independent legal advice from
their respective legal counsel as to the matters set forth in this Agreement, or have knowingly
chosen not to consult legal counsel as to the matters set forth in this Agreement; and, they have
freely signed this Agreement without any reliance upon any agreement, promise, statement or
representation by or on behalf of the other party, or their respective agents, employees, or
attorneys, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, and without duress or coercion,
whether economic or otherwise.
36
017.233970.11
617. Time of Essence. Time is expressly made of the essence with respect to the
performance by the CDC, the Developer of each and every obligation and condition of this
Agreement.
618. Cooperation. Each party agrees to cooperate with the other in this transaction
and, in that regard, to sign any and all documents which may be reasonably necessary, helpful, or
appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement including, but not limited to,
releases or additional agreements.
619. Conflicts of Interest. No member, official or employee of the CDC shall have
any personal interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement, nor shall any such member, official or
employee participate in any decision relating to the Agreement which affects his personal
interests or the interests of any corporation, partnership or association in which he is directly or
indirectly interested.
620. Time for Acceptance of Agreement by CDC. This Agreement, when executed
by the Developer and STDC and delivered to the CDC, must be authorized, executed and
delivered by the CDC on or before forty-five (45) days after signing and delivery of this
Agreement by the Developer and STDC or this Agreement shall be void, except to the extent that
the Developer/STDC shall consent in writing to a further extension of time for the authorization,
execution and delivery of this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the CDC and the Developer and STDC have executed this
Disposition and Development Agreement as of the date set forth above.

For valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY.
a public body, corporate and politic (the "CDC"), acting to carry out the Redevelopment Plan
("Redevelopment Plan") for the National City Redevelopment Project (the "Project"), under the
Community Redevelopment Law of California, as of , 2004, hereby grants to
MARINA GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, LLC, a California limited liability
company ("Developer"), the real property hereinafter referred to as the "Site," described in
Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein, subject to the existing easements, restrictions
and covenants of record described there.
1. Reservation of Mineral Rights. CDC excepts and reserves from the conveyance
herein described all interest of the CDC in oil, gas, hydrocarbon substances and minerals of
every kind and character lying more than five hundred (500) feet below the surface, together
with the right to drill into, through, and to use and occupy all parts of the Site lying more than
five hundred (500) feet below the surface thereof for any and all purposes incidental to the
exploration for and production of oil, gas, hydrocarbon substances or minerals from said Site or
other lands, but without, however, any right to use either the surface of the Site or any portion
thereof within five hundred (500) feet of the surface for any purpose or purposes whatsoever, or
to use the Site in such a manner as to create a disturbance to the use or enjoyment of the Site.
2. Conveyance in Accordance With Redevelopment Plan, Disposition and
Development Agreement. The Site is conveyed in accordance with and subject to the
Redevelopment Plan which was approved and adopted by Ordinance No. 95-2095 of the City
Council of the City of National City, and a Disposition and Development Agreement entered into
between CDC and Developer dated March 16, 2004 (the "DDA"), a copy of which is on file with
the CDC at its offices as a public record and which is incorporated herein by reference. The
DDA generally requires the Developer to construct and maintain in a first class condition an
approximately 150 room three star hotel, restaurant, and retail/office development and related
Attachment No. 3-1
017.233970.11
parking on the Site, and other requirements as set forth therein (the "Improvements"). All terms
used herein shall have the same meaning as those used in the DDA.
3. Restrictions on Transfer. The Developer further agrees as follows:
(a) For the period commencing upon the date of this Grant Deed and until the
CDC's issuance of the Release of Construction Covenants as set forth in Section 310 of the
DDA, no voluntary or involuntary successor in interest of the Developer shall acquire any rights
or powers under the DDA or this Grant Deed, nor shall the Developer make any total or partial
sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment, subdivision, without the prior written approval of the
CDC or as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 603 of the DDA.
(b) The Developer shall not place or suffer to be placed on the Site any lien or
encumbrance other than mortgages, deeds of trust, or any other form of conveyance required for
financing of the construction of the Improvements on the Site, and any other expenditures
necessary and or appropriate to develop the Site as provided in Section 310.2 of the DDA. .
(c) All of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Grant Deed shall be
binding upon the Developer and the permitted successors and assigns of the Developer.
Whenever the term "Developer" is used in this Grant Deed, such term shall include any other
successors and assigns as herein provided.
4. Nondiscrimination. The Developer herein covenants by and for itself, its heirs,
executors, administrators and assigns, and all persons claiming under or through them, that there
shall be no discrimination against or segregation of, any person or group of persons on account
of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, national origin or ancestry in the sale, lease,
sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the land herein conveyed, nor shall the
Developer itself or any person claiming under or through Developer, establish or permit any such
practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location,
number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sub lessees or vendees in the land
herein conveyed. The foregoing covenants shall run with the land.
The Developer shall refrain from restricting the rental, sale or lease of the Site on
the basis of race, color, religion, sex, marital status, ancestry or national origin of any person.
All such deeds, leases or contracts shall contain or be subject to substantially the following
nondiscrimination or nonsegregation clauses:
(a) In deeds: "The grantee herein covenants by and for himself or herself, his
or her heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, and all persons claiming under or through
them, that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of, any person or group of
persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, national origin or ancestry
in the sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the land herein
conveyed, nor shall the grantee or any person claiming under or through him or her, establish or
permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the
selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sub lessees or
vendees in the land herein conveyed. The foregoing covenants shall run with the land."
Attachment No. 3-2
017.233970.11
(b) In leases: "The lessee herein covenants by and for himself or herself, his
or her heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, and all persons claiming under or through
him or her, and this lease is made and accepted upon and subject to the following conditions:
"That there shall be no discrimination against or
segregation of any person or group of persons, on account
of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, national
origin, or ancestry in the leasing, subleasing, transferring,
use, occupancy, tenure, or enjoyment of the premises
herein leased nor shall the lessee himself or herself, or any
person claiming under or through him or her, establish or
permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or
segregation with reference to the selection, location,
number, use, or occupancy of tenants, lessees, sub lessees,
subtenants, or vendees in the premises herein leased."
(c) In contracts: "There shall be no discrimination against or segregation of,
any person, or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status,
national origin, or ancestry, in the sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or
enjoyment of the premises, nor shall the transferee himself or herself or any person claiming
under or through him or her, establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination
or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants,
lessees, subtenants, sub lessees or vendees of the premises."
5. CDC Right of Reentry. The CDC has the right, at its election, to reenter and
take possession of the Site, with all improvements thereon, and terminate and revest in the CDC
the estate conveyed to the Developer if after the Closing and prior to the issuance of the Release
of Construction Covenants, the Developer (or its successors in interest) shall:
a. fail to start the construction of the Improvements as required by the DDA
for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days after written notice thereof from the CDC; or
b. abandon or substantially suspend construction of the Improvements
required by the DDA for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days after written notice thereof
from the CDC; or
c. contrary to the provisions of Section 603 of the DDA transfer or suffer any
involuntary Transfer in violation of the DDA, and such transfer has not been approved by the
CDC or rescinded within sixty (60) days of notice thereof from CDC to Developer.
Such right to reenter, terminate and revest shall be subject to and be limited by and shall
not defeat, render invalid or limit:
1. Any mortgage or deed of trust permitted by the DDA; or
2. Any rights or interests provided in the DDA for the protection of the
holders of such mortgages or deeds of trust.
Attachment No. 3-3
017.233970.11
3. Any rights or interests held by a lessee permitted by the DDA in and to the
property.
Upon the revesting in the CDC of title to the Site as provided in this Section 5, the CDC
shall, pursuant to its responsibilities under state law, use its reasonable efforts to resell the Site as
soon and in such manner as the CDC shall find feasible and consistent with the objectives of
such law and of the Redevelopment Plan, as it exists or may be amended, to a qualified and
responsible party or parties (as determined by the CDC) who will assume the obligation of
making or completing the Improvements, or such improvements in their stead as shall be
satisfactory to the CDC and in accordance with the uses specified for the Site or part thereof in
the Redevelopment Plan. Upon such resale of the Site, the net proceeds thereof after repayment
of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Site which is permitted by this Agreement,
shall be applied:
i. First, to reimburse the CDC, on its own behalf or on behalf of the City, all
costs and expenses incurred by the CDC, excluding City and CDC staff costs, but specifically,
including, but not limited to, any expenditures by the CDC or the City in connection with the
recapture, management and resale of the Site or part thereof (but less any income derived by the
CDC from the Site or part thereof in connection with such management); all taxes, assessments
and water or sewer charges with respect to the Site or part thereof which the Developer has not
paid (or, in the event that Site is exempt from taxation or assessment of such charges during the
period of ownership thereof by the CDC, an amount, if paid, equal to such taxes, assessments, or
charges as would have been payable if the Site were not so exempt); any payments made or
necessary to be made to discharge any encumbrances or liens existing on the Site or part thereof
at the time or revesting of title thereto in the CDC, or to discharge or prevent from attaching or
being made any subsequent encumbrances or liens due to obligations, defaults or acts of the
Developer, its successors or transferees; any expenditures made or obligations incurred with
respect to the making or completion of the improvements or any part thereof on the Site, or part
thereof; and any amounts otherwise owing the CDC, and in the event additional proceeds are
thereafter available, then
ii. Second, to reimburse the Developer, its successor or transferee, up to the
amount equal to the sum of (a) the costs incurred for the acquisition and development of the Site
and for the improvements existing on the Site at the time of the reentry and possession. Any
balance remaining after such reimbursements shall be retained by the CDC as its property. The
rights established in this Section 6 are not intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or
remedy, but each and every such right, power, and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent
and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy authorized herein or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity. These rights are to be interpreted in light of the fact that
the CDC will have conveyed the Site to the Developer for redevelopment purposes.
6. Violations Do Not Impair Liens. No violation or breach of the covenants,
conditions, restrictions, provisions or limitations contained in this Grant Deed shall defeat or
render invalid or in any way impair the lien or charge of any mortgage or deed of trust or
security interest permitted by paragraph 4 of this Grant Deed; provided, however, that any
subsequent owner of the Site shall be bound by such remaining covenants, conditions,
Attachment No. 3-4
017.233970.11
restrictions, limitations and provisions, whether such owner's title was acquired by foreclosure,
deed in lieu of foreclosure, trustee's sale or otherwise.
7. Covenants Run With Land. All covenants contained in this Grant Deed shall be
covenants running with the land. All of Developer's obligations hereunder except as provided
hereunder shall terminate and shall become null and void upon the expiration of the
Redevelopment Plan. Every covenant contained in this Grant Deed against discrimination
contained in paragraph 4 of this Grant Deed shall remain in effect in perpetuity.
8. Covenants For Benefit of CDC. All covenants without regard to technical
classification or designation shall be binding for the benefit of the CDC, and such covenants
shall run in favor of the CDC for the entire period during which such covenants shall be in force
and effect, without regard to whether the CDC is or remains an owner of any land or interest
therein to which such covenants relate. The CDC, in the event of any breach of any such
covenants, shall have the right to exercise all the rights and remedies and to maintain any actions
at law or suits in equity or other proper proceedings to enforce the curing of such breach.
9. Revisions to Grant Deed. Both CDC, its successors and assigns, and Developer
and the successors and assigns of Developer in and to all or any part of the fee title to the Site
shall have the right with the mutual consent of the CDC to consent and agree to changes in, or to
eliminate in whole or in part, any of the covenants, easements or restrictions contained in this
Grant Deed without the consent of any tenant, lessee, easement holder, licensee, mortgagee,
trustee, beneficiary under a deed of trust or any other person or entity having any interest less
than a fee in the Site. However, Developer and CDC are obligated to give written notice to and
obtain the consent of any first mortgagee prior to consent or agreement between the parties
concerning such changes to this Grant Deed. The covenants contained in this Grant Deed,
without regard to technical classification, shall not benefit or be enforceable by any owner of any
other real property within or outside the Project Area, or any person or entity having any interest
in any other such realty. No amendment to the Redevelopment Plan shall require the consent of
the Developer.
10. Enforced Delay; Extension of Times of Performance. In addition to specific
provisions of this Agreement, performance by either party hereunder shall not be deemed to be in
Default, and all performance and other dates specified in this Agreement shall be extended,
where delays or Defaults are due to causes beyond the reasonable control or without the fault of
the party claiming an extension of time to perform, which may include the following: war;
insurrection; strikes; lockouts; riots; floods; earthquakes; fires; casualties; acts of God; acts of the
public enemy; epidemics; quarantine restrictions; freight embargoes; lack of transportation;
governmental restrictions or priority; litigation; severe weather; inability to secure necessary
labor, materials or tools; delays of any contractor, subcontractor or supplier; acts or omissions of
the other party; acts or failures to act of the City or any other public or governmental CDC or
entity (other than the acts or failures to act of the CDC which shall not excuse performance by
the CDC). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, an extension of time for
any such cause shall be for the period of the enforced delay and shall commence to run from the
time of the commencement of the cause, if notice by the party claiming such extension is sent to
the other party within sixty (60) days of the commencement of the cause. Times of performance
under this Agreement may also be extended in writing by the mutual agreement of CDC and
Attachment No. 3-5
017.233970.11
Developer. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the lack of funding
to complete the Improvements shall not constitute grounds of enforced delay pursuant to this
Section 10.
