described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein.
B. Constellation Property Group (A Avenue), LP ("A Avenue") an affiliate
of Optionor is the developer of a real estate project in the City of National City commonly
known as "Centro," adjacent to the R2 project.
C. A Avenue and Optionee entered into that certain Disposition and
Development Agreement dated August 30, 2005 (the "DDA") that provided for, among other
things, that A Avenue build office space for Optionee containing not less than approximately
2,700 sq. ft. and four parking spaces in the Centro project (the "Original Centro Office Space"). On
October 21, 2005, A Avenue assigned its rights under the DDA to Optionor.

with Optionee (the "First Amendment"), thereby transferring the obligations set forth in the

ITEM TITLE RESOLUTION OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NATIONA
CITY APPROVING AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH
CONSTELLATION PROPERTY GROUP ("A" AVENUE) LP, AND APPROVING AN OPTION AGREEMENT WITH
CONSTELLATION PROPERTY GROUP (NAT CITY 12TH) PERTAINING TO THE CENTRO AND R-2 PROJECTS
PREPARED BY Raymond Pe J xt. 4421) DEPARTMENT Community Development Commission
EXPLANATION
Constellation Property Group LP has formed two separate entities to develop the `Centro' condominium project and
the `Revolution 2' condominium project. Constellation Property Group ("A" Avenue) LP is the entity developing the
"Centro" condominium project (4-stories, 61 residential units), and Constellation Property Group (Nat City 12t) LP
is the entity developing the "Revolution 2" condominium project (22-stories, 347 residential units, two commercial
units).
On October 25, 2005, the Community Development Commission approved Amendment No. 1 to the DDA, which
assigned the obligation to construct a trolley transit center and convey office space to the CDC from the "A" Avenue
entity to the Nat City 12th entity. Amendment No. 2 would re -assign the obligation back to the "A" Avenue entity
from the Nat City 12th entity. The developer has requested this second amendment to the DDA in order to secure
financing for the "Revolution 2" project.
The amendment would also replace the obligation of the developer to convey office space, and instead require a
residential condominium unit to be conveyed to the CDC. The "Centro" project consists of residential
condominiums only. The amendment would also eliminate liquidated damages and financing provisions contained
in Amendment No. 1 upon release of a blanket mortgage held by the developer on the site. An Option Agreement
would allow the CDC to exercise an option to exchange the residential condominium unit for office space in the
"Revolution 2" project after its completion.
