The Agency and the Developer are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
The following Recitals are a substantive part of this Third Implementation Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Third Implementation Agreement shall have the meaning given to them in the OPA, as hereinafter defined in Recital A.
A. The Agency and Developer entered into that certain Owner Participation Agreement dated as of March 5, 2002, as amended by that certain First Implementation Agreement to Owner Participation Agreement dated as of November 18, 2002 and by that certain Second Implementation Agreement to Owner Participation Agreement dated as of December 12, 2004 and that certain Partial Assignment and Consent to Assignment dated December 21, 2003 by and among SL NoHo, LLC, SF No Ho, LLC, and the Agency (the “OPA”).

C. Through this Third Implementation Agreement, the Developer and the Agency intend to amend the provisions relating to the Acquisition Funds and the Developer Advance.
D. The parties are entering into this Third Implementation Agreement for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Agency and the Developer agree that the OPA shall be amended as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Subarea C Improvements. A second paragraph shall be added to Section 103.1 (c) Subarea C Improvements to read as follows:
1
“The Parties recognize that the current design of the proposed Subarea C improvements may not use the available public space efficiently and may not provide optimum pedestrian circulation throughout Subarea C. In recognition of the potential benefits to the Project, the Agency and the Developer shall consider in good faith a redesign to the Subarea C improvements to allow for a change in density and uses to address issues relating to the operation of the Academy of Arts and Science Complex and to better address pedestrian access through Academy Plaza to Lankershim Boulevard. In addition, the redesign may include proposed sites mutually acceptable to the Parties for the relocation of xxxxxxxxx.xxxxxx. Nothing in this Section 103.1(c) shall obligate the Developer to make any redesign of Subarea C or the Agency to approve any redesign or change in use of Subarea C.”
2. Acquisition Funds. Section 402.1.2 Agency Bond Funds shall be deleted and replaced with the following:
“Agency Funds. Subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and within the time set forth in the Schedule of Performance, the Agency shall provide as Acquisition Funds the following amounts: Ten Million Eighty Eight Thousand Five Hundred Ninety Seven Dollars ($10,088,597) from Agency funds; Three Million Eight Hundred Thirty Two Thousand Three Hundred Fifty Eight Dollars ($3,832,358) from proceeds received by the Agency from the Developer for the purchase of Subarea A; Four Hundred Forty Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($440,500) in Economic Development Initiative grant funds from the HUD Loan; and any additional Economic Development Initiative grant funds released to the Agency from the interest reserve fund held by the City as part of the HUD Loan pursuant to the terms of the HUD Loan documents.
3. Original Letter of Credit. Section 402.6.1 Original Letter of Credit, as amended by the Second Implementation Agreement, shall be deleted and replaced with the following:
“Section 402.6.1 Original Letter of Credit. Pursuant to Section 402.6, the Developer has agreed to advance to the Agency the necessary funds, over and above the Acquisition Funds, to pay the Agency’s Acquisition Costs plus the Agency’s costs of complying with the Relocation Laws. To partially secure the Developer’s obligation to advance funds to the Agency, the Developer shall provide the Original Letter of Credit to the Agency. Provided the Agreement has not theretofore been terminated pursuant to Section 1003, the Developer shall deliver to the Agency cash or an irrevocable at-sight, standby letter of credit, first approved in writing by the Agency as to form, content and issuer, in an amount determined in the second paragraph of this Section 402.6.1 and otherwise complying with the requirements of this Agreement (the “Original Letter of Credit”).
The Original Letter of Credit shall consist of an amount estimated to be
2
the difference between the amount of the projected Developer Advance and the immediately available Acquisition Funds, as established by the Agency based on budgets prepared by the Agency and reviewed by the Developer. The amount of the Original Letter of Credit shall be in an amount equal Nine Million Forty Three Thousand Four Hundred Sixty One Dollars ($9,043,461). The Purchase Price for the parcels comprising Subarea A, Subarea X-x and B-2 and Subarea C is calculated at Twelve Million Three Hundred Six Thousand Five Hundred Thirty Nine Dollars ($12,306,539). The Developer paid a portion of the Purchase Price to the Agency at the close of escrow for the purchase of the Subarea A Acquisition Parcels in the amount of Three Million Eight Hundred Thirty Two Thousand Three Hundred Fifty Eight Dollars ($3,832,358). In addition, concurrently with the close of escrow for the Subarea A Acquisition Parcels, the Developer advanced to the Agency as part of the Original Letter of Credit the amount of One Million One Hundred Sixty Seven Thousand Six Hundred Forty Two Dollars ($1,167,642). The Developer shall also receive a credit in the amount of Five Million Five Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Eight Hundred Nineteen Dollars ($5,525,819) as an advance under the Original Letter of Credit upon the Developer’s assumption of the HUD Loan. The Five Million Five Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Eight Hundred Nineteen Dollars ($5,525,819) represents the difference between the Fourteen Million Dollars ($14,000,000), the amount of the HUD Loan to be assumed by the Developer, and Eight Million Four Hundred Seventy Four Thousand One Hundred Eighty One Dollars ($8,474,181) which is the remaining amount of the Purchase Price to be paid by the Developer for both Subarea B and Subarea C ($12,306,539 minus $3,832,358 paid at the close of escrow at Subarea A). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Agency fails to convey Subarea C to the Developer in accordance the terms of the OPA through no fault of the Developer, the amount of the Purchase Price paid by the Developer which is attributable to purchase of Subarea C shall be considered part of the Original Letter of Credit and such amount shall be added to the Pre-conveyance Termination Note delivered to the Developer by the Agency as of the close of escrow for the conveyance of Subarea B to the Developer.
The balance of the Original Letter of Credit in the amount of Two Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,350,000) shall be provided in two installments. The Developer shall advance funds to purchase the MTA Parcel in the estimated amount of Three Hundred Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($300,500). The Developer shall advance the funds for the purchase of the MTA Parcel promptly following notice to the Developer by the Agency that the MTA is ready to close escrow on the conveyance of the MTA Parcel. The balance of the Original Letter of Credit in the amount of Two Million Forty Five Thousand Dollars ($2,045,000) shall be provided by the Developer as of the earlier of (i) the close of escrow for the conveyance of Subarea C to the Developer and (ii) April 1, 2005, subject to any events of enforced delay as specified in Section 1105 of this OPA or any written extension to be granted to the Developer in the Agency’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the amount of the Original Letter of Credit provided
3
to the Agency by the Developer, the Developer shall be obligated to advance to the Agency the necessary funds, over and above the Acquisition Funds, to pay the Agency’s Acquisition Costs plus the Agency’s costs of complying with the Relocation Laws.
The Parties acknowledge that costs attributable to acquisition of the Project Site may exceed the sources of funds currently identified to pay for such costs. The Agency and the Developer shall work together to attempt to identify and obtain reasonable alternative funding sources for any excess costs prior to requiring the Developer to provide funds in excess of the Original Letter of Credit Amount of Nine Million Forty Three Thousand Four Hundred Sixty One Dollars ($9,043,461). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that in the event reasonable alternative funding sources cannot be identified and obtained by the Agency, the Developer shall provide the required funds no later than thirty (30) days following the Agency’s written request for such funds. In the event the Developer provides funds in the excess of the Nine Million Forty Three Thousand Four Hundred Sixty One Dollars ($9,043,461) Original Letter of Credit amount, the Agency agrees to negotiate in good faith with the Developer a mutually agreeable arrangement by which the Developer shall be reimbursed in a commercially reasonable manner for the excess funds advanced. To the extent funds are released to the Agency from the interest reserve account of the HUD Loan prior to the close of escrow for the conveyance of Subarea C to the Developer, the Developer’s obligation to pay Two Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,350,000) at the close of escrow for Subarea C shall be reduced by the amount of interest reserve funds released to the Agency.”
4. Special Developer Advance of Costs. A new Section 402.6.3 Special Developer Advance of Costs shall be added to read as follows:
“402.6.3 Special Developer Advance of Costs. Prior to the date of the Third Implementation Agreement the Agency closed escrow on the purchase of the LADOT Parcel. The close of escrow occurred prior to the Agency receipt of funds from the HUD Loan. To enable the Agency to close escrow on the LADOT Parcel, the Developer made a special advance of costs to the Agency in the amount of Nine Hundred Fifty Eight Thousand Two Hundred Twelve Dollars and Ninety Six Cents ($958,212.96). Upon the receipt of funds under the HUD Loan and concurrently with the close of escrow for the conveyance of Subarea X-x and Subarea B-2 to the Developer, the Agency shall repay the special Developer advance in the amount of Nine Hundred Fifty Eight Thousand Two Hundred Twelve Dollars and Ninety Six Cents ($958,212.96).”
5. Security for Developer Advance. Section 402.8 Security for Developer Advance shall be amended by adding the following to the end of the Section:
“Following the conveyance by the Agency of Subarea X-x and Subarea B-2 to the Developer, the Pre-Conveyance Termination Note given to the Developer
4
by the Agency shall be in the amount of Six Million Nine Hundred Ninety Three Thousand Nine Hundred Sixty One Dollars ($6,993,961) and shall be secured by the Pre-Conveyance Deed of Trust recorded against the Acquisition Parcels owned by the Agency in Subarea C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Pre-Conveyance Termination Note shall provide that in the event the Developer fails to provide the balance of the Original Letter of Credit in the amount of Two Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,350,000), when required pursuant to Section 402.6.1. and the Agency does not convey Subarea C to the Developer, the Agency shall receive the first Two Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,350,000) of sale proceeds (or such lesser amount if the Developer has advanced funds to purchase the MTA Parcel) prior to making any payment to the Developer under the Pre-Conveyance Note in the event of sale of the Acquisition Parcels encumbered by the Pre-Conveyance Deed of Trust or in the event of a foreclosure under the Pre-Conveyance Deed of Trust by the Developer, the principal amount of the Pre-Conveyance Note shall automatically be reduced by Two Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,350,000) (or such lesser amount if the Developer has advanced funds to purchase the MTA Parcel)”
6. MTA Parcel. Section 406.1 MTA Parcel shall be deleted and replaced with the following:
“The Agency shall make every reasonable effort to negotiate, in consultation with the Developer, an agreement with the MTA pursuant to which the MTA will convey to the Developer the fee interest in the MTA Parcel or such easements or interests in the MTA Parcel as are necessary or convenient to allow the Developer to develop the Subarea B Improvements and reserving such interests as the MTA requires for the operation and maintenance of the blast relief vent located on the MTA Parcel. The Agency shall cause to be conducted such appraisals of the MTA Parcel as are required by the MTA. The Developer shall pay directly to the MTA the purchase amount for the fee interest in or the easements on the MTA Parcel through an escrow opened by the Agency or MTA for the purchase of such interests.”
7. Conditions Precedent. The following subsections of Section 506.1 Conditions Precedent and Closing Obligations shall be amended and a new subsection 506.1 .(16) shall be added, all relating solely to the conveyance by the Agency of Subarea X-x and B-2 to the Developer. The original provisions Section 506.1 shall govern the conditions for the conveyance of Subarea C to the Developer by the Agency. The subsections of Section 506.1 which are not amended by this Third Implementation Agreement shall continue to apply as preconditions to the conveyance of Subarea X-x and B-2 to the Developer.
“1. The Developer shall have submitted and the Agency shall have approved the Developer’s Evidence of Financing for the development of Subarea B-2 prior to the conveyance of Subarea B-2 and the Developer shall submit and
5
obtain Agency approval of the Developer’s Evidence of Financing for the development of Subarea X-x within sixty (60) days following the conveyance of Subarea X-x.
2. The Developer shall have obtained all required land use entitlements and the City’s approval of construction and landscaping plans for the development of Subarea B-2 prior to the conveyance of Subarea B-2 and shall have obtain all required land use entitlements and the City’s approval of construction and landscaping plans for the development of Subarea X-x within one hundred eighty (180) days following the conveyance of Subarea X-x.

8. Uses, Operation and Maintenance. A new Section 801.1.15 and Section 801.1.16 shall be added as follows:
“15. Cooperate in good faith with and support the formation and operation of a Business Improvement District (“BID”) which includes Subareas X-x, B-2, and C.
