respect to the identity of the parties in control of Grantee or the degree thereof, by any method or

completing the Project, or such improvements in their stead as shall be satisfactory to Grantor in
its sole and absolute discretion and in accordance with the uses specified for the Site or part
thereof in the Redevelopment Plan. Grantor may resell the Site to such persons, for such
amounts and on such terms and conditions as determined by Grantor in its sole and absolute
discretion, provided that any sale of the Site for an amount insufficient to pay-off all mortgages

management and resale of the Site or part thereof, including without limitation attomeys' and
experts' fees; (iii) all taxes, assessments and water or sewer charges with respect to the Site or
part thereof which Grantee 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 Grantor, an amount, if
paid, equal to such taxes, assessments, or charges as would have been payable if the Site were
not so exempt); (iv) any payments made or necessary to be made to discharge any encumbrances
or liens existing on the Site or part thereof at the time of revesting of title thereto in Grantor, or
to discharge or prevent from attaching or being made any subsequent encumbrances or liens due
to obligations, defaults or acts of Grantee, its successors or transferees as determined by Grantor
in its sole and absolute discretion.
(2) Second, if any, to Grantee.
(e) Rights and Remedies are Cumulative. The rights established in this Section 5 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. The rights
are to be interpreted in light of the fact that Grantor will have conveyed the Property to Grantee
for redevelopment purposes, particularly for development of the Project and not for speculation.
(0 Inaction Not a Waiver of Default. Any failures or delays by Grantor in asserting
any of its rights and remedies under this Section 5 shall not operate as a waiver of any default by

any actions or proceedings which it may deem necessary to protect, assert or enforce any such
rights or remedies shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Grant Deed.
6. Mortgagees Protection. 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 consented to
by Grantor in a writing recorded against the Site; provided, however, that any subsequent owner
of the Site shall be bound by the covenants, conditions, restrictions, limitations and provisions
contained in this Grant Deed, whether such owner's title was acquired by foreclosure, deed in
lieu of foreclosure, trustee's sale or otherwise.
7. Covenants Run with the Land. All covenants contained in this Grant Deed are covenants
running with the land in favor of the Grantor for the entire period during which such covenants
shall be in force and effect, without regard to whether the Grantor is or remains an owner of any
land or interest therein to which such covenants relate. In the event of any breach of any such
covenants, Grantor 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 Grantor's rights.

E:\CLIENTS\National City\Palm Piaza\Grant Deed.Final.doc
8. Rights of the Parties. Both Grantor, its successors and assigns, and Grantee and the
successors and assigns of Grantee in and to all or any part of the fee title to the Site shall have
the right with the mutual consent of the Grantor 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. 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.
Any amendment to the Redevelopment Plan which proposes to change the uses or development
permitted on the Site, or otherwise proposes a change of any of the restrictions or controls that
apply to the Site, shall require the written consent of the Grantee or the successors and assigns of
Grantee in and to all or any part of the fee title to the Site, but any such amendment which
proposes a change affecting the Site shall not require the consent of any tenant, lessee, easement
holder, licensee, mortgagee (other than the first mortgagee), trustee, beneficiary under a deed of
trust or any other person or entity having any interest less than a fee in the Site.
9. Term. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all restrictions against
and obligations of Grantee set forth herein shall terminate with respect to Grantee and the Site
upon issuance of Certificates of Occupancy for all of the Project, provided the same are issued
on or before two (2) years from the date of commencement of construction of the Project. Time
is of the essence. Failure to obtain Certificates of Occupancy for all of the Project on or before
two (2) years from the date of commencement of construction of the Project, gives Grantor the
right to re-enter and vest the Site in Grantor as set forth in Section 5, above.

iistory of the redevelopment discussions surrounding this site.
Environmental Review Analysis under the California Environmental Quality Act was completed
prior to consideration of this Purchase and Sale Agreement.
Financial Statement The Purchase Price for the CDC land is $1,823,000. Palm Plaza
Associates will immediately deposit $54,590 into escrow and must provide evidence of project
financing and pay the balance by no later than January 19. 2012. A fair market interest rate of
