OWNER PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

This OWNER PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of December, 2001, by and between the COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES, a public body, corporate and politic (the “Agency”), and SL NO HO, LLC, a California Limited liability company (the “Developer”). 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 Agreement. The capitalized terms used in this Agreement, not otherwise defined in the text, are defined in Article 2 herein.

A. The Agency is authorized and empowered under the Community Redevelopment Law, California Health and Safety Code Sections 33000, et seq., to assist in the redevelopment of real property within the North Hollywood Redevelopment Project in conformity with the Redevelopment Plan. Specifically, the Agency is authorized and empowered to enter into agreements to improve the economic conditions of the North Hollywood Redevelopment Project, to acquire and dispose of property, to prepare or cause the preparation of building sites for construction, to receive consideration for the provision by the Agency of redevelopment assistance, to make and execute contracts and other instruments necessary or convenient to the exercise of its powers, and to incur indebtedness to finance or refinance redevelopment projects.

B. On June 23,1999, JAR No Ho Project LLC, a California Limited Liability Company (“JAR No Ho”) executed an Offer to Negotiate Exclusively for the retention, acquisition, and development of a portion of the North Hollywood Redevelopment Project Area described in the Offer as the Site, and the Offer to Negotiate Exclusively was accepted by the Agency on July 13, 1999, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth therein. An Amended and Restated Exclusive Right to Negotiate (“ERN”) that extended the exclusive negotiation period until January 31, 2001 was approved by the Agency’s Governing Board on July 20, 2000 and was approved by the City Council of the City of Los Angeles on August 15, 2000. The Agency and the Developer entered into the ERN on August 23, 2000.

C. On February 5, 2001, JAR No Ho and the Developer entered into an Acquisition and Contribution Agreement and on December, 2001 entered into an Amended and Restated Operating Agreement for SL No Ho, LLC (collectively, the “JV Agreement”), in which JAR No Ho agreed to convey all of its right, title and interest in the Site and the Project to the Developer upon the execution of this Agreement.

D. The Agency, by entering into this Agreement with the Developer, has satisfied its obligations to JAR No Ho regarding JAR No Ho’s rights as a property owner in the Project Area, as such rights are set forth in the Agency’s “Rules Governing

Participation and Preferences by Owners, Operators of Businesses, and Tenants in the North Hollywood Redevelopment Project.”

E. The Developer proposes to design, finance, and develop on the Site a phased multi-use development including an office, residential and retail development, community-serving uses, and associated parking, (the “Project”) as more fully set forth in Section 103 of this Agreement and in the Scope of Development, attached hereto as Attachment 1 (“Scope of Development”). To induce the Developer to cause construction and Completion of the Project, and in light of the local revenues, including sales and property tax revenues that are expected to be generated by the redevelopment of the Site and operation of the Project thereon, the Agency and the Developer desire to enter into this Agreement in order to provide assistance subject to certain conditions precedent and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

F. In accordance with the goals of the Community Redevelopment Law and the Redevelopment Plan for the North Hollywood Redevelopment Project, the Agency desires to provide such assistance to induce the redevelopment of the Site and the construction and operation of the Project because such actions will help to eliminate blight in the North Hollywood Redevelopment Project, increase the employment opportunities within the North Hollywood Redevelopment Project, and generate additional sales and property taxes and other local revenues for the community. The Developer’s acquisition of the Site, the redevelopment thereof, and operation of the Project thereon pursuant to the terms of this Agreement are in the vital and best interests of the City of Los Angeles (the “City”) and the health, safety, and welfare of its residents and are in accord with the public purposes and provisions of applicable state and local laws and requirements under which the redevelopment of the North Hollywood Redevelopment Project has been undertaken.

G. The Redevelopment Plan for the North Hollywood Redevelopment Project was approved and adopted on February 21,1979, prior to which an Environmental Impact Report was certified, and subsequent Environmental Impact Reports have been certified for various amendments to the Redevelopment Plan. On January 31, 2001 by Resolution No. 5969, the Agency (as the lead agency pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 21000 et seq. of the California Public Resources Code, and the CEQA Guidelines, 14 California Code of Regulations Sections 15000 et seq. (“CEOA”)) certified the completion of a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (“SEIR”) for the Project to be implemented in furtherance of the Redevelopment Plan for the North Hollywood Redevelopment Project. Immediately following approval of this Agreement, the Agency filed a Notice of Determination pursuant to CEQA.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Agency and the Developer agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1 SUBJECT OF THE AGREEMENT

SECTION 101 PURPOSE OF THE AGREEMENT

The purpose of this Agreement is to effectuate the public purposes of the Agency by providing for the assemblage of the Site through the Agency’s acquisition and conveyance to the Developer of those portions of the Site that are not included in the

Developer Parcels, and the phased development and operation by the Developer on the Site of the improvements described in the Scope of Development.

SECTION 102 THE DEVELOPMENT SITE

(a) Subject to the provisions of paragraphs (b) and (c) immediately following, the “Site” is that certain real property generally bounded by Xxxxxxxx Street on the north, Vineland Avenue and Xxxxxxxxx Avenue on the east, the Academy Entertainment and Business Complex on the south, and Lankershim Boulevard on the west in Los Angeles, California, illustrated on the “Site Map” (which is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Attachment No. 2} and more particularly described in “Parcel Ownership” (which is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Attachment No. 6). The Site consists of a “Subarea A”, a “Subarea B”, a “Subarea C”, and a “Subarea D”, each of which is illustrated and designated as such on the Site Map. A “Subarea” as used in this Agreement, shall mean Subarea A, Subarea B, Subarea C, and/or Subarea D, as the context requires. At such time as the final tract map, if any, is recorded for a Subarea, the legal descriptions from such tract map shall govern without the need for an amendment of this Agreement.

(b) The Agency and Developer may by mutual written agreement exclude from the Site all or any portion of the Site which has not theretofore been conveyed to Developer. In the event any portion is excluded from the Site pursuant to this paragraph (b), the following shall apply:

(i) Developer and the Agency shall cooperate in signing implementation agreements and/or other documents necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intent of this paragraph (b), including without limitation and to the extent applicable, a reconveyance of the Pre-Conveyance Termination Deed of Trust.

(ii) If and to the extent required by the reduction in size of the Site, Developer shall submit for approval by the Agency, and the Agency’s Governing Board if required and subject to completion of any review required by the California Environmental Quality Act, Site Modifications (as defined in Article 2) reflecting such reduced Site.

(c) It is contemplated by the Parties that the Los Angeles Unified School District (“LAUSD”) will acquire Subarea D or a portion thereof for construction of a high school, in which case the Agency may exclude the applicable portion of Subarea D from the Site. If the LAUSD decides not to acquire Subarea D or any portion thereof, or acquires Subarea D or any portion thereof and thereafter decides to dispose of Subarea D or any portion thereof, Subarea D or the applicable portion thereof shall be included in the Site. The Agency hereby grants the Developer an exclusive right to negotiate Site Modifications for the development of that portion of Subarea D that is included in the Site. It is the Parties’ intent that, to the fullest extent practicable, the Site Modifications for the portion of Subarea D included in the Site shall provide for the construction of retail, office and/or residential improvements of a scale and density consistent with the proposed project analyzed in the certified SEIR for the Project. This exclusive right to negotiate shall terminate on a date that is three (3) years after the Date of Agreement. Developer understands that the Agency may refuse to extend this exclusive negotiation period beyond the termination date and may at that time begin negotiations with other development entities without further solicitation. The Developer agrees that, if the

Agency determines that the parties are not making appropriate progress or the negotiations are not proceeding in a diligent manner during the exclusive negotiation period, the Agency may at its option terminate the negotiations and begin negotiations with other development entities without further solicitation; provided, that the Agency shall first provide written notice to the Developer, stating the facts on which the Agency is basing its contention that the parties are not making appropriate progress or the negotiations are not proceeding in a diligent manner, and providing a reasonable time, but not less than ten (10) days, to correct the matter.

SECTION 103 PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND PHASING

§103.1 Project Description

The Project shall include the following improvements, as more fully set forth in, and in conformance with, the Scope of Development. All of the improvements on the Site shall be developed in accordance with plans and land use entitlements approved by the City. The assemblage of the Site and the phased development and operation of the improvements on the Site, and the fulfillment generally of this Agreement are in the vital and best interests of the City and the health, safety, morals and welfare of its residents, and in accord with the public purposes and provisions of applicable federal, state and local laws and requirements.

Retail and commercial products and services offered by tenants shall be consistent with a first class retail/office development. Retail tenant selection shall be consistent with and enhance the entertainment/retail character of the Project and the NoHo Arts and Entertainment District. Because the Project is an integral part of the NoHo Arts and Entertainment District, retail tenant selection shall acknowledge, reinforce, and complement the District, the North Hollywood Commercial Core and the Academy Complex and its plaza. Every reasonable effort shall be used to attract and lease to first class specialty retail and entertainment tenants. Flea markets, thrift stores or liquidation outlets, swap shows or “outlet stores” selling merchandise that is used, damaged or discontinued shall be prohibited. Any off-price and value oriented tenants shall be limited to stores such as Nordstrom Rack, Xxx Xxxxxx Loft, or other stores of similar quality. If a supermarket is included in the Project, it shall be a first class full service supermarket or a first class specialty supermarket. Except for the single 60,000 square foot retail space in Subarea B, retail tenant spaces shall generally be limited to 20,000 square feet in size, except for tenants such as Xxxxxx & Noble, Border’s, or similar non-discount quality retailers.

The Agency shall have the right to approve each tenant proposed by the Developer as being in conformance with this Section 103.1. The Developer must notify the Agency of each proposed tenant in sufficient time for the Agency to approve or disapprove as provided herein. Within twenty (20) days of the date the Developer notifies the Agency of a proposed tenant, the Agency shall advise the Developer in writing that the tenant is in conformance with the parameters set forth in this Section 103,1 or give specific reasons why the Agency believes the proposed tenant is not in conformance with the parameters of this Section 103.1. If the Agency fails to respond within such twenty (20) day period, the proposed tenant shall be deemed to be in conformance with the parameters set forth in this Section 103.1 without any further approval rights from the Agency.

(a) “Subarea A Improvements”.

The Developer shall construct a residential complex containing approximately 550 units and associated parking. In the alternative, the Developer may construct either (i) approximately 600,000 square feet of office space, or (ii) approximately 277 residential units and approximately 300,000 square feet of office space. These alternative development scenarios are more fully set forth in the Scope of Development and the Concept Plan. Within the time set forth in the Schedule of Performance, the Developer shall inform the Agency as to which development scenario it will construct on Subarea A

(b) “Subarea B Improvements”.

The Developer shall construct a retail and residential complex including approximately 247 residential units, approximately 186,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space and a parking structure providing sufficient parking to comply with City code requirements.

The Developer shall construct approximately 42,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, approximately 200,000 square feet of office space, a parking structure providing sufficient parking to comply with City code requirements, approximately nine residential units and the Community Improvements described in this paragraph. The Developer shall construct a raw, shell facility of approximately 20,000 square feet for the Valley Community Clinic within or adjacent to the parking structure in Subarea C (the “Community Improvements”). Upon completion, the Developer shall offer to lease the Community Improvements to the Valley Community Clinic for the base rent sum of one dollar ($1) per year plus triple net charges, including without limitation, pro rata share of common area expenses and property taxes, for a twenty (20) year term. If, within ninety (90) days from the date the Developer offers to lease the space as provided herein, the Valley Community Clinic fails to enter into a lease for the Community Improvements or, for any reason, subsequently fails to occupy or vacates the space, then the Developer’s obligation to lease to Valley Community Clinic shall terminate and the Developer shall use the Community Improvements in a manner consistent with the Scope of Development and Agency-approved plans; provided that, the Agency has the right to designate another public use of the Community Improvements, mutually agreeable between Developer and Agency, at the lease terms set forth herein within thirty (30) days after the termination of the Developer’s obligation to lease to Valley Community Clinic. The Developer shall provide up to 500 square feet of office space sufficient to accommodate the One-Stop Employment Center required by § 318.2.3 of this Agreement, to be operated by an entity designated by the Agency.

(d) “Subarea D Improvements”.

(1) If the Developer acquires the Subarea D Parcels or any portion thereof, the Developer shall, subject to completion of the review required by the California Environmental Quality Act, construct the improvements in the Site Modifications agreed to pursuant to Section 102(c) hereof.

(e) Affordable Housing; Conversion to Sale Units; Day Care

(1) Affordable Housing Requirements. At least twenty percent (20%) of the residential units, not including live-work units, developed on Subarea A and Subarea B shall be available to Very Low Income, Low Income, and Moderate Income households, at Affordable Rent, including a reasonable utility allowance (“Restricted Units”). Of those Restricted Units, seventeen percent (17%) shall be available to Very Low Income households, fifty percent (50%) shall be available to Low Income households, and thirty three percent (33%) shall be available to Moderate Income households. The Restricted Units shall be distributed across the apartments and residential lofts as follows. No less than five percent (5%) and no more than ten percent (10%) of the residential lofts shall be required to be Restricted Units, which shall be available to Very Low Income, Low Income, and Moderate Income households, in the same proportion as required for the total Restricted Units in the Project. The balance of the Restricted Units shall be evenly distributed across one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, with each unit type (i.e., one-bedroom or two-bedroom) available to Very Low Income, Low Income and Moderate Income households in the same proportion as required for the total Restricted Units in the Project. Within the time period established in the Schedule of Performance, the Developer shall submit to the Agency for its approval a proposed management plan for the rental units that meets the requirements set forth in the “Housing Management Plan Requirements” attached hereto as Attachment No. 3 and incorporated by this reference. As a condition precedent to the Agency’s obligation to convey any portion of Subarea A or Subarea B to the Developer, the Developer shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent for recording in the Official Records of Los Angeles County the “Affordability Covenants” appended to this Agreement as Attachment No. 4 and incorporated by this reference. The Affordability Covenants shall be recorded with reference to the residential units developed on Subarea A and Subarea B.

SECTION 308 ENVIRONMENTAL REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS

§308.1 Developer’s Environmental Representations and Covenants

The Developer shall promptly deliver to the Agency copies of all “Phase 1” and/or “Phase 2” investigations, soils reports, geotechnical data, and other information regarding the physical condition of the Developer Parcels that is in the possession or control of the Developer (“Developer Environmental Reports”). The Agency acknowledges its prior receipt of the Developer Environmental Reports described in the List of Environmental Reports (Attachment No. 17).

Except as provided in the contents of the reports delivered to the Agency by the Developer pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, as of the Date of Agreement the Developer hereby represents and warrants to the Agency that it has no actual knowledge of, and has not received any notice or communication from any governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Developer Parcels, notifying the Developer of the uncured presence of Hazardous Materials beyond non-reportable background levels in, on, or under the Developer Parcels or any portion thereof. “Actual knowledge” as used herein shall not impose a duty of investigation and shall be limited to the actual knowledge of the Developer and its principals, employees and agents who have participated in the preparation of this Agreement or the operation, management, or ownership of the Developer Parcels, and information in the possession or control of Developer as of the Date of Agreement.

The Developer shall immediately advise the Agency in writing if the Developer obtains actual knowledge of any of the following: (a) any pending or threatened environmental claim against the Developer, any Developer Parcel or any other parcel conveyed to Developer pursuant to this Agreement, (b) any condition or occurrence on any Developer Parcel or any other parcel conveyed to Developer pursuant to this Agreement that (i) results in material noncompliance by the Developer with any

applicable Government Requirement, (ii) could reasonably [Illegible] [Illegible] to cause any Developer Parcel or any other parcel conveyed to Developer pursuant to this Agreement to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, use or transferability of any Developer Parcel, or any other parcel conveyed to Developer pursuant to this Agreement under any Governmental Requirement, or (iii) could reasonably be anticipated to form the basis of an environmental claim against the Developer, any Developer Parcel, or any other parcel conveyed to Developer pursuant to this Agreement.

The Developer shall take every reasonable precaution to prevent the release of any Hazardous Materials located in, on or under any Developer Parcel, or any other parcel conveyed to Developer pursuant to this Agreement, or any portion thereof. Such precautions shall include compliance with all Governmental Requirements with respect to Hazardous Materials; provided, however, the Developer shall have the right in good faith to contest or challenge any asserted non-compliance. In addition, the Developer shall install and utilize such equipment and implement and adhere to such procedures as are consistent with commercially reasonable standards as respects the disclosure, storage, use, removal and disposal of Hazardous Materials.

The Developer shall be solely responsible, at its own expense, for the disposal and remediation of any Hazardous Materials discovered during construction of the improvements on the Site and for the costs of complying with all Governmental Requirements with respect to such Hazardous Materials. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if the Developer discovers during construction of the improvements on a Subarea, that an Acquisition Parcel contains Hazardous Materials that require remediation, and the Agency and the Developer mutually determine that the uninsured costs of remediating those Hazardous Materials would impose a substantial cost or delay in the Completion of those improvements, the following provisions will apply. The Agency and the Developer must use every reasonable effort to agree to commercially reasonable Site Modifications that would, to the greatest extent feasible, reduce the required remediation of that Acquisition Parcel. The Agency will establish a cap on the Developer’s uninsured remediation costs for that Acquisition Parcel equal to fifty percent (50%) of those uninsured remediation costs (the “Remediation Cap”). Any reasonably necessary uninsured remediation costs incurred by the Developer that exceed the Remediation Cap will be reimbursed by the Agency, using that portion of the Available Site Generated Property Tax Increment that is not otherwise designated for repayment of the Agency Obligation pursuant to the Public-Private Feasibility Agreement (Attachment No. 8). For the purposes of this paragraph, the term “uninsured remediation costs” shall mean the Developer’s remediation costs less any deductible under any insurance maintained under this § 308.1 and less any offset for Hazardous Materials that was incorporated into the purchase price or condemnation award paid to the previous owner by the Agency pursuant to this Agreement. As a condition precedent to the Agency’s reimbursement obligation, the Developer must have, prior to beginning construction of any improvements on the applicable Acquisition Parcel, obtained environmental insurance on that parcel that provides coverage for the remediation of the Hazardous Materials disclosed through a Phase 2 Environmental Assessment, to the extent such insurance is generally available at commercially reasonable rates. Further, the Developer must have consulted with the Agency regarding the results of the Phase 2 Environmental Assessment and the environmental insurance to be obtained by the Developer, prior to obtaining such insurance. If the Agency incurs a reimbursement obligation to the Developer pursuant to this paragraph, the Developer must seek

contribution from [Illegible] responsible parties, if the [Illegible] recovery exceeds the estimated litigation costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. Any such recovery, whether by settlement judgment, or otherwise, after deduction of the Developer’s litigation costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, must be distributed between the Agency and the Developer in proportion to the uninsured remediation costs borne by each.

The Agency agrees that, in acquiring any portion of the Site for conveyance to the Developer, it will use every reasonable effort to assure that the seller of such property is not released from its existing liability for the Developer’s cost of remediating Hazardous Materials.

§308.2 Agency’s Environmental Representations and Covenants

The Agency shall promptly give the Developer copies of all “Phase 1” and/or “Phase 2” investigations, soils reports, geotechnical data, and other information regarding the physical condition of the Agency Parcels that is in the possession or control of the Agency (“Agency Environmental Reports”). The Developer hereby acknowledges its prior receipt of the Agency Environmental Reports described in the List of Environmental Reports (Attachment No. 17).

Except as provided in the contents of the reports delivered to the Developer by the Agency pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, as of the Date of Agreement the Agency hereby represents and warrants to the Developer that it has no actual knowledge of, and has not received any notice or communication from any governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Agency Parcels, notifying the Agency of the uncured presence of Hazardous Materials beyond non-reportable background levels in, on, or under the Agency Parcels or any portion thereof. “Actual knowledge” as used herein shall not impose a duty of investigation and shall be limited to the actual knowledge of the Agency and its officers, employees and agents, who have participated in the preparation of this Agreement or the operation, management, or ownership of the Agency Parcels, and information in the possession or control of the Agency as of the Date of Agreement,

The Agency shall immediately advise the Developer in writing if the Agency obtains actual knowledge of any of the following: (a) any pending or threatened environmental claim against the Agency or any Agency Parcel, or any other parcel acquired by the Agency pursuant to this Agreement, (b) any condition or occurrence on any Agency Parcel or any other parcel acquired by the Agency pursuant to this Agreement that (i) results in material noncompliance by the Agency with any applicable Governmental Requirement, (ii) could reasonably be anticipated to cause any Agency Parcel or any other parcel acquired by the Agency pursuant to this Agreement to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, use or transferability of any Agency Parcel, or any other parcel acquired by the Agency pursuant to this Agreement under any Governmental Requirement, or (iii) could reasonably be anticipated to form the basis of an environmental claim against the Agency, any Agency Parcel, or any other parcel acquired by the Agency pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 309 DEMOLITION AND CLEARANCE

§316.3 Restoration

If any of the improvements to be constructed on the Site are damaged or destroyed prior to the issuance of a Release of Construction Covenants by the Agency and provided the proceeds together with any deductible under any insurance maintained under this Section 316 are sufficient, as the Agency and the Developer mutually determine, then, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, such improvements shall be repaired, rebuilt and restored by the Developer at least to a condition substantially equivalent to their condition immediately prior to the damage or destruction, to the extent permitted by law.

§316.4 Rights of Mortgagees

If any Mortgagee has the right to retain any proceeds or control the disbursement of any proceeds and in fact exercises such right, but notwithstanding the exercise by such Mortgagee of such right there remain proceeds which are insufficient to pay the cost or repair, rebuilding or restoration of all structures which were covered by the insurance policy or policies in question, but which are sufficient to pay the cost of repair, rebuilding or restoration of the damaged or destroyed improvements, then, subject to the rights of Mortgagees, the Developer shall be obligated to prioritize the use of the remaining proceeds so as to repair, rebuild and restore such improvements in the manner set forth in §316.3.

SECTION 319 RELEASE OF CONSTRUCTION CONVENANTS (CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION)

Promptly after Completion of all construction and development required by this Agreement to be completed by the Developer upon or with respect to each Subarea and upon written request by the Developer, the Agency shall furnish the Developer with an executed and acknowledged “Release of Construction Covenants” in substantially the form appended to this Agreement as Attachment No. 11 and incorporated herein by this reference; provided that, the Agency shall not be obligated to issue a Release of Construction Covenants until the Developer has submitted the Certified Project Cost Statement required by Section 601 of this Agreement. The Agency may not withhold the Release of Construction Covenants for a Subarea if the Developer has Completed the initial tenant improvements for at least ninety percent (90%) of the restaurant, retail, and office space in that Subarea and the Agency has determined that the Developer is otherwise entitled to a Release of Construction Covenants for that Subarea. If the initial

tenant improvements for at least ninety percent (90%) of the restaurant, retail, and office space in a Subarea have not been Completed solely due to the fact that the space has not been fully leased and if the Developer is otherwise fully entitled to a Release of Construction Covenants for that Subarea, the Agency shall not be required to issue a Release of Construction Covenants for that Subarea, but the Agency shall provide a certificate of estoppel setting forth the reason it is withholding the Release of Construction Covenants and the Agency shall agree, subject to obtaining appropriate protections of the Agency’s security, to subordinate the construction covenants for that Subarea to the lien of Developer’s lender. The Agency shall not unreasonably withhold or delay the Release of Construction Covenants. The Release of Construction Covenants shall be a conclusive determination of satisfactory Completion of the construction required by this Agreement upon or with respect to the Subarea, and a termination of the construction covenants contained in this Agreement and the construction covenants of the Agreement Containing Covenants Affecting Real Property as those covenants apply to that Subarea, and the Release of Construction Covenants shall so state. Upon issuance of the Release of Construction Covenants, the Agency shall release any Payment and Performance Bonds for the improvements covered by that Release of Construction Covenants.

The Release of Construction Covenants shall be in such form as to permit it to be recorded in the Recorder’s Office of Los Angeles County.

If the Agency refuses or fails to furnish a Release of Construction Covenants after written request from the Developer, the Agency shall, within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the written request, provide the Developer with a written statement of the reasons the Agency refused or failed to furnish the Release of Construction Covenants. The statement shall also contain the Agency’s opinion of the action the Developer must take to obtain a Release of Construction Covenants; provided, however, that the statement need not contain technical information or instructions.

If the reason for the Agency’s refusal to issue a Release of Construction Covenants is confined to the Developer’s failure to complete specific punch list items, the Agency shall issue the Release of Construction Covenants upon the posting of a Payment and Performance Bond by the Developer, first approved in writing by the Agency as to form and substance, in favor of the Agency in an amount representing the fair value of the work not yet completed. The bond shall specify a deadline for completion of the outstanding items, which shall be the earliest reasonable date and shall not be more than ninety (90) days after the issuance of the Release of Construction Covenants.

If the Agency fails to issue either a Release of Construction Covenants or the written statement describing its reasons for refusing to furnish a Release of Construction Covenants within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the Developer’s written request therefor, then the Developer may submit to the Agency by certified mail a second request. If the Agency fails to issue either a Release of Construction Covenants or the written statement described in the immediately preceding paragraph within ten (10) days of its receipt of the second request from the Developer, then the Developer shall be deemed entitled to such Release of Construction Covenants; provided that, both the first and second requests for a Release of Construction Covenants must be accompanied by evidence of Completion of the improvements and provided further that, the second request must contain the following statement, in bold print, all capitals, 14-point type:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST IN WRITING WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS IN THE MANNER REQUIRED BY SECTION 319 OF THE OWNER PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED AN APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST PURSUANT TO THAT SECTION.

The Release of Construction Covenants shall not constitute evidence of compliance with or satisfaction of any obligation of the Developer to any holder of a mortgage, or any insurer of a mortgage securing money loaned to finance the improvements, or any part thereof, or of the Developer’s performance of any obligation under this Agreement other than completion of the construction to which the Release of Construction Covenants pertains. The Release of Construction Covenants is not a notice of completion as referred to in Section 3093 of the California Civil Code.

This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

The Developer, on behalf of itself and any and all successors and assigns, hereby fully and finally releases the Agency, the City, and their respective past and present

elective and appointed boards, commissions, officials, employees, representatives and agents from any and all manner of actions, causes of actions, suits, obligations, liabilities, judgments, executions, debts, claims, and demands of every kind and nature whatsoever, known and unknown, which the Developer or any of its successors or assigns may now have or hereafter obtain against the Agency or the City or their respective past and present elective and appointive boards, commissions, officials, employees, representatives and agents by reason of, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from, in full or in part, or in any respect whatsoever from the displacement of businesses or other occupants of the Developer Parcels pursuant to this Agreement.

§402.1.4 Additional Public Funds

If the Agency’s costs of acquiring the Acquisition Parcels, the LADOT Parcel, and the MTA Parcel substantially exceed the amount set forth in the acquisition and relocation budgets prepared pursuant to § 402.5, the Agency shall use its good faith efforts to identify sources of additional public funds that may be available to finance the acquisition of those parcels and to reasonably assist the Developer in obtaining such funds. The Agency’s agreement to provide this assistance shall in no way be deemed to constitute a pledge of Agency funds or a monetary obligation of the Agency. Any additional public funds obtained pursuant to this paragraph shall be included as Acquisition Funds for the purpose of determining the amount of the Letter of Credit.

§ 402.2 Acquisition and Relocation Estimates

Within the time provided in the Schedule of Performance, the Agency shall prepare or cause to be prepared preliminary estimates of the costs associated with acquiring the Acquisition Parcels (to the extent not first acquired by the Developer), the LADOT Parcel, and the interests in the MTA Parcel to be acquired pursuant to § 406.1 of this Agreement. Such estimates shall include the Agency’s Acquisition Costs and the Agency’s cost, if any, of complying with Relocation Laws, and shall indicate the Acquisition Funds, if any, expected to be allocated to each Parcel. The Agency shall consult with the Developer in preparing the preliminary estimates.

§ 402.3 Appraisals and Appraisal Advance

Upon receipt of the Developer’s request for assistance, pursuant to § 403.1, the Agency shall prepare or cause to be prepared acquisition appraisals for the Acquisition Parcels to be acquired by the Agency pursuant to Section 403 of this Agreement (to the extent not first acquired by the Developer).

§ 402.4 Environmental Due Diligence

Within the time set forth in the Schedule of Performance, the Agency shall, for each Acquisition Parcel to be acquired by the Agency pursuant to Section 403 of this Agreement (to the extent not first acquired by the Developer), the LADOT Parcel, and the MTA Parcel, for which Phase I Environmental Assessments have not already been ordered by the Agency or provided to the Developer, conduct or cause to be conducted a Phase I Environmental Assessment by a company reasonably acceptable to Developer. The Agency’s costs of obtaining such Phase I Assessments shall be included in the Agency’s Acquisition Costs.

§ 402.5 Acquisition and Relocation Budgets

Within the time provided in the Schedule of Performance, the Agency shall prepare or cause to be prepared budgets for the Agency’s acquisition of the Acquisition Parcels to be acquired by the Agency pursuant to Section 403 of this Agreement (to the extent not first acquired by the Developer), the LADOT Parcel, and the MTA Parcel,

which shall include [Illegible] estimates of Acquisition Costs, the [Illegible], if any, of complying with Relocation Laws, and available Acquisition Funds. The budgets shall include a reasonable description or itemization of the costs in each category. The Agency shall submit the budgets to the Developer for its review. The Agency Administrator shall determine the amount of the Developer Advance based upon the budgets.

§ 402.6 Developer Advance of Costs

The Developer shall advance to the Agency the amount of the Developer Advance less the available Acquisition Funds as provided in this § 402.6. The Agency shall have no obligation to repay or reimburse the Developer for any portion of the Developer Advance except as provided in the “Public-Private Feasibility Agreement” (Attachment No. 8) and, subject to the provisions of § 402.8, the Pre-Conveyance Termination Note and the Pre-Conveyance Termination Deed of Trust.

§ 402.6.1 Original Letter of Credit

Subject to the extension provisions in the last sentence of this paragraph, and provided the Agreement has not theretofore been terminated pursuant to Section 1003, within the time set forth in the Schedule of Performance, the Developer shall deliver to the Agency 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 pursuant to this § 402.6.1, and otherwise complying with the requirements of this Agreement (the “Original Letter of Credit”). The Developer may, by written notice delivered to the Agency within the time originally required for delivery of the Original Letter of Credit, extend the time for delivery of the Original Letter of Credit by up to sixty (60) days; but in no event shall the time for delivery to the Agency of the Original Letter of Credit be later than two hundred and ten (210) days after the Date of Agreement.

The Original Letter of Credit shall be in an amount equal to the difference between the total amount of the Developer Advance and the immediately available Acquisition Funds, as established by the Agency Administrator based on the budgets prepared by the Agency and reviewed by the Developer pursuant to § 402.5. The Agency shall consult with the Developer in determining the amount of the Developer Advance and shall provide written notice to the Developer of the amount of the Original Letter of Credit no later than thirty (30) days prior to the date the Developer is required to deliver the Original Letter of Credit to the Agency.

§ 402.6.2 Cost Overruns

If the Agency determines that the amount of the Developer Advance is likely to exceed the budget amount, or that the Acquisition Funds are not available in the budget amount used to calculate the amount of the Original Letter of Credit, the Agency shall consult with the Developer regarding the reasons for the increase in the Developer Advance and the need for additional letter(s) of credit and/or amendment(s) to the Original Letter of Credit. Within thirty (30) days after the Agency provides written notice to the Developer, or earlier if payment is ordered by a court or referee, the Developer shall deliver to the Agency additional letter(s) of credit and/or amendment(s) to the Original Letter of Credit, first approved in writing by the Agency as to form, content and issuer (each referred to herein as an “Additional Letter of Credit”), in such amounts as are properly requested by the Agency. The Agency may provide such notice at any time

and from time to time. The Original Letter of Credit, together [Illegible] all Additional Letters of Credit, are referred to collectively herein as the “Letter of Credit.”

The Agency shall have the right to draw on the Letter of Credit from time to time to pay any and all Acquisition Costs and/or costs associated with complying with Relocation Laws. The only condition for any draw on the Letter of Credit shall be a certification by the Agency Administrator or designee that the draw is permitted under the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, § 402.7 and § 402.8 hereof. The Developer and the Agency shall consult to attempt to schedule relocating and business closures to lawfully minimize Acquisition Costs and costs of complying with Relocation Laws without delaying completion of the Project. Within fifteen (15) days following each draw on the Letter of Credit, the Agency shall provide the Developer with a written report showing the specific nature and amount of each such draw. The Developer shall be responsible to pay to the issuer of the letter of credit all interest incurred in respect to each and every draw on the Letter of Credit.

The term of the Original Letter of Credit shall be not less than one (1) year, and such term shall be subject to extension if Acquisition Costs or costs of complying with Relocation Laws will or might be incurred following the scheduled expiration of the Letter of Credit. The Original Letter of Credit and any Additional Letters of Credit shall contain the “Automatic Renewal Clause” required by the Agency’s policy governing letters of credit. The Agency shall be entitled to draw down the full amount of the Letter of Credit in the event the Developer fails to renew or replace the Letter of Credit not later than 30 days prior to its expiration date. The condition shall be satisfied upon the delivery of the renewed or new Letter of Credit acceptable to the Agency Deputy Administrator for Financial Services and Chief Financial Officer or his/her designee. If the Letter of Credit has expired and the Agency gives written notice to the Developer that Acquisition Costs will or may be incurred following such expiration, the Developer shall immediately cause the issuance of a new letter of credit first approved in writing by the Agency as to form, content and issuer, in the amount properly requested by the Agency.

§ 402.7 Precondition to Agency’s Right to Make Draws Under the Letter of Credit

Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Agency shall not draw on the Letter of Credit unless, prior to or concurrently with such draw, the Agency has, with respect to those portions of the applicable Subarea that have not been acquired by the Developer, either (i) adopted, in the sole discretion of the Agency, a resolution of necessity pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1245.210 et seq. authorizing the acquisition thereof using the Agency’s power of eminent domain; (ii) acquired fee title; or (iii) entered into a binding and enforceable agreement to purchase fee title without contingencies on the seller’s obligations other than the payment of the purchase price, and opened an escrow for purposes of acquiring title. It is the intent of the Parties, as previously set forth in this Section 402, that to the extent feasible, the Agency shall not draw on the Letter of Credit so long as Acquisition Funds remain available.

§ 402.8 Security for Developer Advance

The Agency shall not draw on the Letter of Credit unless, prior to or concurrently with each such draw, the Agency’s Administrator has executed and delivered to the Developer on behalf of the Agency a promissory note in substantially the form appended to this

Agreement as Attachment No. 12-A and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Pre-Conveyance Termination Note”), the performance of which shall be secured by a deed(s) of trust first reasonably approved in writing by the Agency and the Developer in the form appended to this Agreement as Attachment No. 12-B (the “Pre-Conveyance Termination Deed of Trust”) as revised to reflect the reconveyance provisions of this Section 402.8, which the Agency’s Administrator shall execute, acknowledge and deliver on behalf of the Agency concurrently with the Pre-Conveyance Termination Note(s). The Agency shall not encumber any portion of the Site during the term of this Agreement except in implementing the provisions of this § 402.8 or as otherwise reasonably agreed by the Developer, and shall not during such term take any steps to impair the contemplated security to be provided by the Pre-Conveyance Termination Deed(s) of Trust. The property subject to the Pre-Conveyance Termination Deed(s) of Trust shall be any portion of the Acquisition Parcels then owned by the Agency, and, if and only if the Agency does not obtain the HUD Loan, the Agency Parcels; provided that the Agency’s Administrator shall execute, acknowledge and deliver additional Pre-Conveyance Termination Deed(s) of Trust as subsequent parcels are acquired using the proceeds of the Letter of Credit. The Pre-Conveyance Termination Deed(s) of Trust shall provide for reconveyance thereunder of the property subject to the Pre-Conveyance Termination Deed(s) of Trust that either (a) is conveyed to Developer, or (b) is excluded from the Site pursuant to Section 102 of this Agreement, or (c) is to be conveyed to a third party as provided by Section 3(b) of the Pre-Conveyance Termination Promissory Note, subject to concurrent payment of Net Sales Proceeds to Developer. The Pre-Conveyance Termination Deed(s) of Trust shall also provide for reconveyance to the Agency, at no cost to the Agency, of any Agency Parcels encumbered by such deed(s) of trust if the Agency terminates this Agreement because of a Developer Event of Default.

SECTION 403 ACQUISITION PARCELS

§ 403.1 Developer’s Efforts to Acquire

During the 90-day period immediately following the Date of Approval of this Agreement, the Developer shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to acquire fee title to the Acquisition Parcels, or as much thereof as possible, through voluntary negotiation without any Agency involvement. The Developer shall, prior to the expiration of that 90-day period, either complete the documentation of the acquisition or request in writing the Agency’s assistance in acquiring those portions of the Acquisition Parcels that the Developer was unable to acquire or execute an agreement to acquire.

§ 403.2 Agency Acquisition of Acquisition Parcels

The Agency may, in its sole discretion, decide either to limit its attempts to acquire the Acquisition Parcels to voluntary negotiation with the property owners or to consider exercising its power of eminent domain. The Agency expressly reserves the right, and hereby agrees, to substantially comply with all applicable laws in connection with any exercise or potential exercise of the power of eminent domain.

§ 403.3 Agency Offers to Purchase

The Agency may, in its sole discretion, attempt to acquire the Acquisition Parcels or any portion thereof through voluntary negotiation with the property owner. The Agency shall, for any portion of the Acquisition Parcels sought to be acquired by the

Agency, cause to be [Illegible] two independent appraisals by licensed appraisers in private practice, subject to Agency policy. Based upon such appraisals, the Agency shall establish an amount that it believes to be just compensation for the property sought to be acquired, which amount shall not be less than the property’s appraised fair market value. Prior to establishing the amount of just compensation for any portion of the Acquisition Parcels, the Agency shall consult with the Developer regarding such amount. The Agency expressly reserves to itself the authority to determine the terms of any such offer and to control the course and timing of the negotiations.

§ 403.4 Eminent Domain Actions; Orders for Possession

(a) The Agency may, in its sole discretion, decide to consider exercising its power of eminent domain in the acquisition of the Acquisition Parcels or any portion thereof. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to obligate the Agency to pursue the acquisition of the Acquisition Parcels or any portion thereof through the exercise of eminent domain. If the Agency chooses to exercise its power of eminent domain in acquiring the Acquisition Parcels or any portion thereof and such acquisition cannot be completed prior to the date for conveyance of the property to the Developer as specified in the Schedule of Performance, the Agency shall use every reasonable effort to obtain an order of prejudgment possession to allow the Developer to take possession of such property pursuant to Section 507 of this Agreement.

(b) If the Agency determines in its sole discretion not to adopt a resolution of necessity pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1245.210 et seq. to authorize the acquisition of all or any part of the Acquisition Parcels using the Agency’s power of eminent domain and such acquisition cannot be completed through voluntary negotiation prior to the date for conveyance of the property to the Developer as specified in the Schedule of Performance, then the Developer and the Agency may agree to exclude such portion of the Acquisition Parcels from the Site, pursuant to Section 102 of this Agreement.

§ 403.5 Settlement of Eminent Domain Actions

If the Agency chooses to exercise its power of eminent domain in acquiring the Acquisition Parcels or any portion thereof, the Agency may continue to negotiate with the property owner to reach a settlement of the condemnation action. The Agency shall advise the Developer regarding the terms of such settlement offers, but the Agency expressly reserves to itself the authority to determine the terms of any such settlement. If the Agency is successful in negotiating a settlement that results in a dismissal of the condemnation action, the Developer shall remain obligated to pay the costs of such condemnation action and the settlement thereof, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 404 SUBAREA D PARCELS

It is contemplated by the Parties that the LAUSD will acquire the Subarea D Parcels for development of a high school. If the LAUSD decides not to acquire Subarea D or any portion thereof, or acquires Subarea D or any portion thereof and thereafter decides to dispose of Subarea D or any portion thereof, Subarea D or the applicable portion thereof shall be included in the Site and the Agency and the Developer shall use good faith efforts to agree on Site Modifications for that property pursuant to Section 102(c). If

the Agency and the developer agree on those Site Modifications, and subject to first obtaining the approval of the Agency Board and the City Council in the manner required by law, the property shall be treated as Acquisition Parcels for purposes of this Agreement and the Agency shall make every reasonable effort to acquire expeditiously that property (to the extent not first acquired by the Developer) for conveyance to the Developer pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 405 LADOT PARCEL

The Agency shall use every reasonable effort to enter into a replacement parking agreement with LADOT within the time provided in the Schedule of Performance, whereby LADOT will convey to the Agency fee title to the LADOT Parcel in exchange for the Agency providing replacement parking or making a cash purchase. If the Agency is unable to enter into that agreement within the time provided in the Schedule of Performance, then the Developer and the Agency shall use every reasonable effort to agree to Site Modifications reflecting LADOT’s continued ownership of the LADOT Parcel.

SECTION 406 MTA PROPERTY

§ 406.1 MTA Parcel

The Agency shall make every reasonable effort to enter into an agreement with the MTA within the time provided in the Schedule of Performance, whereby the MTA will convey to the Agency such easements or interests in the MTA Parcel as are necessary or convenient to the implementation of this Agreement and reserving such interests as the MTA requires for operation and maintenance of the blast relief vent located on the MTA Parcel.

§ 406.2 MTA Right of Way

If the LAUSD acquires Subarea D, the Agency shall make every reasonable effort to enter into an agreement with the MTA and the LAUSD within the time provided in the Schedule of Performance, whereby the MTA and the LAUSD will cooperate with the Agency and the Developer to relocate the MTA Right of Way, in order to facilitate the development of the Project pursuant to this Agreement. The Developer agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Agency, the LAUSD, and the MTA in identifying a substitute location for the MTA Right of Way and acquiring and conveying to the MTA such interests as are reasonably necessary to accomplish the relocation. If the Agency is enters into such agreement with the MTA and the LAUSD within the time provided in the Schedule of Performance, then the Developer shall submit to the Agency for its approval Site Modifications reflecting the new location of the MTA Right of Way. The Agency and the Developer agree to use good faith efforts to agree upon any Site Modifications required pursuant to this § 406.2.

ARTICLE 5. CONVEYANCE OF AGENCY ACQUIRED PROPERTY

SECTION 501 AGREEMENT TO SELL AND PURCHASE; REDEVELOPMENT PURPOSE

Conditioned upon the Agency’s prior acquisition of title to the Acquisition Parcels (to the extent not first acquired by the Developer), the LADOT Parcel, and the MTA Parcel, (and/or upon obtaining orders of prejudgment possession) and in accordance with, subject to, and conditioned on all the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Agreement, and in consideration of the performance by the Developer of all of its obligations under this Agreement in furtherance of the Redevelopment Plan, the Agency agrees to sell to the Developer that portion of the Site to which the Agency holds title and the Developer agrees to purchase that portion of the Site from the Agency, for the consideration and subject to the terms, conditions and provisions set forth herein,

SECTION 502 PERMITTED ENCUMBRANCES

Within the time specified in the Schedule of Performance, the Agency and the Developer shall approve the “Permitted Encumbrances” with respect to each parcel to be conveyed by the Agency to the Developer pursuant to this Agreement. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Developer agrees not to object to any encumbrance against title, including without limitation, those easements and covenants burdening the Site arising from agreements previously entered into between the Agency and third parties with respect to property abutting the Site (“Prior Agency Encumbrances”), unless such encumbrance, in Developer’s reasonable judgment, would materially impair the Developer’s ability to use or finance the property affected thereby for the purposes set forth in this Agreement. The Agency agrees to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Developer and such third parties so that such Prior Agency Encumbrances (i) do not materially impede or render the development of the Site pursuant to this Agreement economically infeasible and (ii) are otherwise consistent with the development of the Site pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Developer may object to any monetary lien other than current real property taxes and assessments. If the Developer objects to a title matter on a parcel to be conveyed by the Agency to the Developer, the Agency will have twenty-five (25) days either (a) to remove the objected-to matter or commit in writing to remove it on or before the closing at which the affected parcel will be conveyed to the Developer, or (b) if the Agency is unwilling or unable to remove it, to so advise the Developer in writing. If the Agency advises the Developer that the Agency is unwilling or unable to remove an objected-to matter, then the Developer shall have twenty-five (25) days to advise the Agency in writing that the Developer either withdraws its objection or refuses to do so, in which latter event the condition precedent regarding the approval of Permitted Encumbrances will have failed. In that event, the Developer and the Agency may agree to exclude that parcel from the Site, as provided in Section 102 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the Developer hereby approves as a Permitted Encumbrance (i) any deed of trust, security agreement and fixture filing (with assignment of rents) previously recorded against any parcel to secure repayment of the HUD Loan, provided that any such deed of trust, security agreement and fixture filing (with assignment of rents) is made subordinate to Developer’s construction financing for development of the Site pursuant hereto and to Developer’s permanent financing as such shall change from time to time, as approved by HUD; and (ii) the easements and encumbrances arising out of the “Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions and Reservation of Easements for the Academy”

dated October 16, [Illegible] recorded with the Registrar-Record [Illegible] Los Angeles County, and the Developer hereby acknowledges its receipt and review of that document.

SECTION 503 CONSIDERATION

§503.1 Agency Parcels, Acquisition Parcels, the MTA Parcel, and the LADOT Parcel

The Developer’s purchase price for the Agency Parcels, the Acquisition Parcels, the MTA Parcel, and the LADOT Parcel, or any portion thereof, shall be calculated at Twenty Five and No/100 Dollars per square foot ($25.00/sf), plus that portion of the Agency’s costs, consisting of escrow fees, costs of clearing title and obtaining title insurance, ALTA surveys, geotechnical studies, and Phase I environmental assessments, in the amount of $1.26 per square foot (collectively, the “Purchase Price”). The Developer shall pay the Purchase Price to the Agency at the times and in the manner and form set forth in the Public-Private Feasibility Agreement (Attachment No. 8).

SECTION 504 CONVEYANCE ESCROW

The Agency agrees to open an escrow in the City of Los Angeles for the conveyance pursuant to Section 501, of the Agency Parcels, the Acquisition Parcels (to the extent not first acquired by the Developer), the LADOT Parcel, and the MTA Parcel with Chicago Title Insurance Company, as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”), within the time provided in the Schedule of Performance.

Section 102, Section 106, Article 2, Section 402 through Section 406 inclusive, and Section 501 through Section 510 inclusive, of this Agreement constitute the joint escrow instructions of the Agency and the Developer, and a duplicate original of this Agreement shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent upon the opening of the escrow. In connection with each separate closing contemplated hereunder, the Agency and the Developer shall provide additional escrow instructions consistent with this Agreement, as needed to carry out the intent of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent is hereby empowered to act under such instructions, and upon indicating its acceptance thereof in writing, delivered to the Agency and the Developer within five (5) days after opening of the escrow, the Escrow Agent shall carry out its duties as escrow agent hereunder. Any amendment to the escrow instructions shall be in writing and signed by both the Agency and the Developer. At the time of any amendment, the Escrow Agent shall agree to carry out its duties as Escrow Agent under such amendment.

As will be more particularly described in the additional escrow instructions, the Escrow Agent is authorized to:

1.	Pay, and charge the Developer and the Agency for any fees, charges and costs payable under this Section 504 of this Agreement. Before such payments are made, the Escrow Agent shall notify the Agency and the Developer of the fees, charges and costs necessary to clear title and close the escrow, which shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Agency and the Developer.

2.	Disburse funds and deliver the Grant Deed and other documents to the parties entitled thereto when the Agency and the Developer have fulfilled the conditions of the escrow with respect to any Subarea.

Record any instruments delivered through this escrow if necessary or proper to vest title in the Developer in accordance with the terms and provisions of the escrow instructions portion of this Agreement (Section 102, Section 106, Article 2, Section 402 through Section 406 inclusive, and Section 501 through Section 510 inclusive).

All communications from the Escrow Agent to the Agency or the Developer shall be directed to the addresses and in the manner established in Section 1102 of this Agreement controlling notices, demands, and communications between the Agency and the Developer.

The Developer shall pay in escrow to the Escrow Agent the following fees, charges and costs promptly after the Escrow Agent has notified the Developer of the amount of such fees, charges, and costs, but not earlier than two (2) business days prior to the scheduled date for the close of escrow:

1.	one-half of the escrow fee, recording fees, and notary fees;

2.	the premiums for the title insurance policies as set forth in this Agreement; and

3.	any State, County, or City documentary stamps or transfer tax.

Subject to Section 503 providing for inclusion in the Developer’s Purchase Price of a portion of the Agency’s costs, the Agency shall pay in escrow to the Escrow Agent the following fees, charges and costs promptly after the Escrow Agent has notified the Agency of the amount of such fees, charges, and costs, but not earlier than two (2) business days prior to the scheduled date for the close of escrow:

1.	Costs necessary to place the title in the condition for conveyance required by the provisions of this Agreement;

2.	one-half of the escrow fee, recording fees, and notary fees;

3.	ad valorem taxes and assessments, if any, levied, assessed or imposed for the period prior to conveyance of title.

Ad valorem taxes and assessments, if any, on any portion of the Site conveyed to the Developer by the Agency pursuant to this Agreement, and taxes upon this Agreement or any rights hereunder, levied, assessed or imposed for any period commencing after conveyance of title or possession to the Developer, shall be borne by the Developer.

All funds received in this escrow shall be deposited by the Escrow Agent in a separate interest bearing account acceptable to the Developer and the Agency with any state or national bank doing business in the State of California and reasonably approved by the Developer and the Agency, and all interest accruing on the account shall be payable to the Party which deposited the funds.

If the escrow is not in condition to close on or before the time for conveyance established in the Schedule of Performance for any Subarea, as such time may be extended by mutual written agreement of the Parties, either Party who has fully performed the acts to be performed before the conveyance of title may, in writing directed to the Escrow Agent, demand the return of its money, papers, and/or documents. No demand for return shall be recognized until fifteen (15) days after the Escrow Agent (or the Party making such demand) has mailed copies of the demand to the other Party or parties at the address of that Party’s principal place of business. Objections, if any, shall

be raised by written Notice to the Escrow Agent and to the other Party within the 15-day period, in which event the Escrow Agent is authorized to hold all money, papers, and documents included in the demand for return until instructed by a mutual written agreement of the Parties, or upon failure thereof, by a court of competent jurisdiction. If no objections are made within the 15-day period, the Escrow Agent shall immediately return the demanded money, papers, or documents, and provided that the failure of a closing condition with respect to any parcel is not due to a default by either Party (in which case Article 10 shall govern), the Parties may agree to exclude such parcel from the Site in accordance with Section 102(b) hereof.

SECTION 505 CONDITION OF TITLE AND TITLE INSURANCE

The Agency shall convey to the Developer fee title to the Agency Parcels, the Acquisition Parcels (to the extent not first acquired by the Developer), the LADOT Parcel, and those easements or interests in the MTA Parcel acquired by the Agency pursuant to § 406.1, free and clear of all recorded liens, encumbrances, covenants, restrictions, easements, leases, taxes and other defects, except (i) the Permitted Encumbrances agreed upon pursuant to Section 502 hereof; and (ii) the covenants, conditions, restrictions and easements arising out of the provisions of this Agreement, including but not limited to, dedication for street purposes.

The Agency shall convey to the Developer title to the Agency Parcels, the Acquisition Parcels (to the extent not first acquired by the Developer), the LADOT Parcel, and the MTA Parcel in the condition provided in this Section 505 of this Agreement by one or more grant deeds substantially in the form attached hereto and incorporated herein as Attachment No. 13 (“Grant Deed”).

SECTION 605 AGENCY PARTICIPATION IN PROJECT

§ 605.1 Intent

It is the intent of the Parties that the Agency will be repaid for the full amount of financial assistance for Site acquisition that is provided by the Agency pursuant to § 402.1.2 of this Agreement (the Agency bond funds) and for the full amount of the Agency Obligation to be paid to the Developer pursuant to the Public-Private Feasibility Agreement attached hereto as Attachment No. 8, with such repayment to be made solely through the Developer’s payment of the Agency Participation Payments as required by this Section 605. In addition, it is the intent of the Parties that the Agency will be paid the amount by which the fair market value of the Agency Parcels at the time of conveyance to the Developer exceeds the Developer’s Purchase Price for those Parcels, with such payment to be made solely through the Developer’s payment of the Agency Participation Payments as required by this Section 605. It is also the intent of the Parties that the Agency and the public will participate in the financial success of the Project through the Developer’s payment of the Agency Participation Payments.

For purposes of calculation and payment of the Agency Participation Payment, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:

“Project Element” means, a subset of the improvement to be developed on the Site pursuant to this Agreement, which has been reasonably, mutually defined and identified by the Agency and the Developer as a Project Element based upon Subarea and land use.

“Developer’s Annual Return” means, solely for purposes of determining the Agency Participation Payment, for each Project Element, an amount equal to eleven and one-half percent (11.5%) of Adjusted Project Costs (and shall include Annual Return Shortfalls, if any, without interest thereon).

“Adjusted Project Costs” means, for each Project Element, Project Costs as approved by the Agency, plus Approved Post-Construction Capital Expenditures, if any, plus the total of all Annual Return Shortfalls, if any.

“Annual Return Shortfall” means, for each Project Element, the amount in any Operating Year by which the calculated amount of the Developer’s Annual Return exceeds the Net Operating Income.

“Agency Participation Payment” means, for each Project Element in each Operating Year, an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of an amount equal to the Net Operating Income for that Operating Year less the Developer’s Annual Return.

“Net Operating Income” means, for each Project Element, the Gross Revenues less a defined “Operating Cost.” The Operating Cost shall be defined for each Project Element and shall be based on standards established by the Building Owners and Managers Association (“B.O.M.A. Standards”) for comparable land uses and elements.

“Gross Revenues” means, for each Project Element, all revenue of any kind or nature received by the Developer or the Developer’s agents each Operating Year from the rental, lease, licensing, operation, use or ownership of the Project Element, and any sale, assignment, or lease of the on- and off-site signage rights associated with the Project Element; provided, however, that the proceeds of any sale of signage rights shall be equitably allocated to reflect an annualized income; and further provided, that pursuant to § 605.3 below, Gross Revenues shall not include any proceeds from the sale or refinancing of the Project Element.

“Operating Commencement Date” means, for each Project Element, a date that is twenty four (24) months immediately following the date of issuance by the City of the final Certificate of Occupancy for the development of the Project Element.

“Operating [Illegible]” means, for each Project Element, [Illegible] twelve month period that commences on the Operating Commencement Date and each anniversary of the Operating Commencement Date, provided that the Developer may convert Operating Years to calendar years, provided appropriate and equitable adjustments are made for any partial year to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agency’s Administrator, and provided that there is no reduction in the required forty-year term of the Agency Participation Payments.

§ 605.2 Form of Participation

As an additional consideration for the performance by the Agency of its obligations hereunder, the Developer shall, for each Project Element, pay the “Agency Participation Payment” to the Agency each “Operating Year” commencing with the “Operating Commencement Date”. The obligation of the Developer to make the Agency Participation Payments shall continue for a period of forty (40) Operating Years after the Operating Commencement Date, subject to the Buyout provisions provided below, and shall, during such 40-year term, survive the sale, Transfer or refinance of the Site or any portion thereof and the improvements on the Site or any portion thereof, and not be affected or reduced in any way by reason of any such sale, Transfer or refinance, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 605.

The Developer shall pay to the Agency, for each Project Element, the Agency Participation Payment for each Operating Year within ninety (90) days of the end of such Operating Year, together with a certified statement submitted for the Agency’s approval or disapproval documenting in detail the basis for the calculation of the Agency Participation Payment due to the Agency for that Project Element. Each Agency Participation Payment shall be made in an amount consistent with the Agency approved certified statement for the subject Operating Year.

§ 605.3 Effect of Sale or Refinance

(b) For the purpose of calculating future Agency Participation Payments for that Project Element, the Adjusted Project Costs for that Project Element shall be defined as the gross proceeds of the sale,

(c) In the event the first sale of a Project Element is a bona fide arms-length sale to a third party in which the Developer has no financial, ownership or other interest (a “First Sale”), then the First Sale shall result in the payment to the Agency required by sub-section (a) of this Section 605.3.1, and shall affect future Agency Participation Payments as described in sub-section (b) of this Section 605.3.1, but upon any subsequent

sale of the Project Element no such sub-section (a) payment [Illegible] be made to the Agency and no such sub-section (b) adjustment to the definition of Adjusted Project Costs shall be made. All Agency Participation Payments made following a First Sale shall be made and calculated based upon using the gross proceeds of such First Sale as the Adjusted Project Costs.

§ 605.3.2 Refinance

(a) The Developer shall within thirty (30) days of a refinance of a Project Element that occurs prior to a First Sale of that Project Element, pay to the Agency a payment equal to ten percent (10%) of the Net Proceeds of such refinance, with Net Proceeds defined as the amount by which the gross refinancing proceeds exceeds the sum of the amount of the equity attributable to the applicable refinanced Project Element and construction or permanent mortgage debt attributable to the refinanced Project Element that is repaid, the Developer’s reasonable and customary refinancing costs, and any accrued Annual Return Shortfalls for that Project Element.

(b) For the purpose of calculating future Agency Participation Payments for that Project Element, the Adjusted Project Costs for the Project Element shall be increased by the amount of the Net Proceeds of any refinancing of that Project Element that occurs prior to a First Sale of that Project Element.

§ 605.4 Buyout Provisions

“Buyout” means, for each Project Element, the termination of the Developer’s obligation to continue paying any further Agency Participation Payments beyond the Effective Date by paying the Buyout Amount to the Agency.

For the first ten years following the Operating Commencement Date for a Project Element, no Buyout shall be permitted for that Project Element. Commencing with the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Operating Commencement Date for a Project Element, the Developer may at any time Buyout the Agency Participation Payments for that Project Element and terminate any obligation to continue paying any further such Agency Participation Payment by paying the Buyout Amount for that Project Element to the Agency within sixty (60) days of the Effective Date, provided Developer shall have given . Agency written notice of its intent to effect such Buyout, and shall have identified in such written notice the Effective Date of such Buyout, and further provided such identified Effective Date shall be a date which is on or after the date the Agency receives such written notice.

Following the tenth anniversary of the Operating Commencement Date for a Project Element, the “Buyout Amount” means an amount equal to the greater of:

SECTION 702. CONDITIONS FOR TRANSFER

§ 702.1 Agency Approval: Documentation: Agency’s Cost to Review

For the reasons set forth above in Section 701, the Developer shall not (except as set forth in § 106.2 hereof), prior to the Agency’s issuance of the Release of Construction Covenants, assign this Agreement nor sell the Site or any portion thereof, nor lease (except as provided in § 702.6 hereof) nor make any total or partial conveyance or transfer in any mode or form of all or any part of the Site or the improvements thereon, or any interest therein, nor shall there be any change in the identity of the Developer or change in the ownership of the Developer or in the relative proportions thereof, or with respect to the identity of the parties in control of the Developer or the degree thereof, by any method or means (other than such changes occasioned by the death or incapacity of any individual), (collectively, “Transfer”), without the prior written approval of the Agency, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if the Agency reasonably determines that the proposed Transferee (as defined herein below) has qualifications equal to or better than the assignee provided for in § 106.2 hereof, as of the Date of Agreement in all material respects, including but not limited to (a) financial strength, (b) experience in the successful development, operation, management and marketing of restaurant, office, residential, and retail improvements, as applicable to the Subarea or Project Element that is the subject of the proposed Transfer, (c) character and reputation, and (d) the ability to perform all of the applicable agreements, undertakings, and covenants of this Agreement, the Grant Deed, the Agreement Containing Covenants Affecting Real Property and all other applicable agreements entered into by the Developer which relate to the development, management, operation, maintenance, and restoration of the Site and of the improvements thereon. The Developer shall promptly notify the Agency of any and all changes whatsoever in the identity of the parties in ownership or control of the Developer or the degree thereof, of which it or any of its officers have been notified or otherwise have knowledge or information. Any entity formation agreements and documents (or changes therein) related to a Transfer, as well as the agreements and

documents [Illegible] any Transfer, shall be subject to the [Illegible] of the Agency’s Administrator in connection with its approval of the Transfer.

To assist the Agency in determining whether or not the proposed Transferee is so qualified, the Developer shall furnish to the Agency at no expense to the Agency, prior to that Transfer, detailed and complete financial statements of the proposed Transferee, certified by the Chief Financial Officer (or his or her equivalent) of the proposed Transferee, together with detailed and complete information about the business of the proposed Transferee, including its experience in developing and operating improvements of the type to be constructed on the Site, the use to be made of the Site and the improvements thereon by the proposed Transferee, projections by the proposed Transferee of the sources of funds to be used to pay any indebtedness that the proposed Transferee will assume or take subject to, or agree to pay, in connection with the Transfer, and other claims on and requirements for those funds, together with any other information the Agency may reasonably require to assist the Agency in determining whether or not the proposed Transferee is so qualified. To the extent permitted by law, if the Developer or such Transferee provides the Agency with any proprietary financial information relating to a proposed Transferee, the Agency shall not, without the Developer’s prior written consent, disclose or make any such financial information available to the public.

The Developer shall pay all costs of consulting and legal services incurred by the Agency to review any Transfer proposed by the Developer.

§ 702.4 Intentionally Omitted

§ 702.5 Security Interests

The limitations on Transfer contained in this Section 702 shall not be deemed to apply to or prevent, nor shall the Agency’s approval be required under this Section in connection with, the granting of any security interest expressly permitted under this Agreement (it being understood that the granting of such a security interest shall not be considered a Transfer pursuant to this Section, but shall be governed solely by the provisions of Section 703 of this Agreement); nor the exercise by any mortgagee of its right to foreclose its mortgage by power of sale or judicial foreclosure; nor any Transfer

of an interest by mortgagee having acquired the Developer’s interest in the Site as a result of its rights under the mortgage, or by any successor to the mortgagee whose interest shall have been acquired by, through or under any mortgage or shall have been derived immediately from any holder thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph § 702.5, the limitations on Transfer contained in this Section shall apply to any mortgagee that acquires its interest in the Site or the improvements thereon other than by the exercise of its rights pursuant to the mortgage or deed in lieu of foreclosure.

§ 702.6 Leasing of Space

With respect to the leasing of space for occupancy prior to the Agency’s issuance of a Release of Construction Covenants for the applicable Subarea, the Developer shall not be required to submit the documentation otherwise required for a Transfer by § 702.1, nor obtain the assignment and assumption agreement otherwise required by § 702.2, nor pay the costs referred to in § 702.1; provided, however, that such lease shall contain appropriate provisions conforming the use and operation of the premises to this Agreement and the covenants of the Grant Deed and the Agreement Containing Covenants Affecting Real Property, and further provided, that the Developer has complied with Section 103.1 of this Agreement.

SECTION 703 NO ENCUMBRANCES EXCEPT TO FINANCE DEVELOPMENT

§ 703.1 Advance Notice to Agency; Agency Approval

Notwithstanding Section 702, mortgages, deeds of trust, sale and lease-back financing, or any other form of conveyance required for any reasonable method of financing are permitted, but only for the purpose of securing loans of funds to be used only for financing the acquisition of the Site and the construction of improvements on the Site, and any other expenditures necessary and appropriate to develop the Site in accordance with this Agreement, including without limitation the Project Costs. The Developer shall notify the Agency in advance of any mortgage, deed of trust, or sale and lease-back financing, if the Developer proposes to enter into the same. The Agency shall have the right to approve or disapprove any such mortgage or deed of trust, but the Agency shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval if the Developer submits evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agency demonstrating (a) that the mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument is consistent with the provisions of this Agreement; and (b) the mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument expressly acknowledges that the rights of any holder or person acquiring title through or following foreclosure are subordinate and subject to the provisions of the Grant Deed and the Agreement Containing Covenants Affecting Real Property. The Developer shall not enter into any mortgage or deed of trust without having first obtained the Agency’s written approval or a

written waiver of its right to approve. The words “mortgage” and “deed of trust” as used herein include all other modes of financing real estate acquisition, construction, and land development.

The Developer shall not place or allow to be placed on the Site or any part thereof or the improvements thereon, any mortgage, deed of trust, encumbrance or lien other than as expressly authorized by § 401.1 hereof (but applying to the Developer Parcels and any other parcel acquired by the Developer pursuant to this Agreement) and this Section 703. The Developer shall remove or cause to be removed any levy or attachment made on the Site or any part thereof, or assure the satisfaction thereof within a reasonable time but in any event prior to a sale thereunder.

§ 703.3 Holder Not Obligated to Construct; Holder’s Right to Cure

The holder of any mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest authorized by this Agreement (the “Mortgagee”) shall in no way be obligated by the provisions of this Agreement to construct or complete the construction of improvements, or to guarantee such construction or completion. Each such holder shall (insofar as the rights of the Agency are concerned) have the right at its option to cure or remedy or commence to cure or remedy any Developer default consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 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 without first having expressly assumed the Developer’s obligations to the Agency by written agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Agency. 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, and submit evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agency that it has the financial responsibility and, itself or through contract with qualified parties, the qualifications necessary to perform such obligations. Any such holder properly Completing such improvements shall be entitled, upon request made to the Agency, to a Release of Construction Covenants from the Agency with respect to such improvements, in accordance with Section 319 hereof.

§ 703.4 Holder’s Failure to Complete Improvements

If the holder of a mortgage, deed of trust, or other security interest undertakes the construction or completion of the improvements on any portion of the Site and thereafter fails to achieve Completion of those improvements within the time specified in the Schedule of Performance, following the expiration of the applicable cure period pursuant to § 1001.3 hereof, the Agency shall have all rights and remedies against that holder as may be available at law or in equity to cure, correct or remedy any default, to obtain specific performance, to recover damages for any default, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purpose of this Agreement. Such rights and remedies are cumulative, and except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the exercise of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the holder.

§703.5 Agency Notice of Default; Agency’s Right to [Illegible]

The documents executed in connection with any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering any portion of the Site shall provide that the Agency shall have the right to receive notices of default by the Developer thereunder and a reasonable opportunity to cure any such default.

Upon the revesting in the Agency of title to any portion of the Site as provided in this § 1002.3, the Agency shall, pursuant to its responsibilities under the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code Sections 33000 et seq.), use its every reasonable effort to resell the reverting properties as soon as possible and in such manner as the Agency shall find feasible and consistent with the objectives of the law and of the Redevelopment Plan, to a qualified and responsible party or parties (as determined by the Agency), who will assume the obligation of making or completing the improvements, or such other improvements in their stead, as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agency and in accordance with the uses specified for the Site in the Redevelopment Plan. Upon such resale by the Agency of the reverting properties or any portion thereof, the proceeds thereof shall be applied as follows:

1. First, to reimburse the Agency on its own behalf and/or on behalf of the City of Los Angeles, for all costs and expenses of the Agency incident to such sale and/or conveyance, for all costs and expenses incurred by the Agency (less any net income derived by the Agency therefrom in connection with such management); all taxes, assessments and water and sewer charges with respect thereto; any payments made, or necessary to be made, 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 reverting properties, or with respect to the removal of the improvements on the reverting properties and the restoration of the reverting properties to a level condition; and any amounts otherwise owing to the Agency by the Developer or its successors or transferees; and

2. Second, to reimburse the Developer, its successors or transferees up to the amount equal to the sum of (A) the Developer’s acquisition costs allocable to the reverting properties and (B) Project Costs allocable to the reverting properties, less (C)

gains or income withdrawn or made by the Developer [Illegible] successors or assigns therefrom or from the improvements thereon or as a result of any amounts payable by the Agency pursuant to this Agreement.

3. Any balance remaining after such reimbursements shall be retained by the Agency as its property.

The rights established in this § 1002.3 are to be interpreted in light of the fact that the purpose of this Agreement is the redevelopment of the Site and not land speculation. After a Release of Construction Covenants has been recorded for any portion of the Site, the Agency will, if requested by the Developer, quitclaim to the Developer the Agency’s right of reverter for that portion of the Site.

SECTION 1004 AGENCY’S OPTION TO ACQUIRE

In consideration of the Agency’s covenants and agreements hereunder, the Developer hereby grants to the Agency an exclusive and irrevocable option to purchase the Developer Parcels, or any portion thereof, pursuant to the terms of this Section 1004 (“Agency Option”).

The option purchase price shall be established as follows. For the Developer Parcels identified as Assessor’s Parcel No. 0000-000-000 and No. 0000-000-000, the option purchase price shall be the appraised fair market value at the time of the Agency’s exercise of its option. For the other Developer Parcels that have been acquired by the Developer prior to the Date of Approval of this Agreement, the option purchase price shall be the appraised fair market value as of the Date of Approval of this Agreement.

For the Developer Parcels that are acquired by the Developer after the Date of Approval of this Agreement, the option purchase price shall be the lesser of (i) the Developer’s acquisition costs for the Developer Parcel less rental and other income derived from that Developer Parcel and (ii) an amount equal to the appraised fair market value of that Developer Parcel increased by ten percent (10%); provided that, the Agency may, in its discretion, seek approval from the Agency Board of Commissioners to increase this ceiling on the option purchase price.

For the purposes of this § 1004.2, the Developer shall be deemed to have acquired a Developer Parcel if the Developer either holds fee title to the parcel or has entered into a binding agreement to purchase the parcel. Appraised fair market value, for purposes of determining the Agency’s option purchase price, shall be determined pursuant to Agency policies and procedures. The option purchase price shall be paid in cash upon closing of escrow.

§ 1004.3 Form of Title and Title Insurance

Title to the Developer Parcels shall be conveyed by grant deed. Title shall be free and clear of all encumbrances and possessory interests except those previously waived in writing by the Agency. The Developer authorizes the Agency to apply for a preliminary commitment for title insurance on the Developer’s behalf immediately upon exercise of the Agency Option. Building or any use restrictions general to the area and utility easements not inconsistent with the uses contemplated under this Agreement shall not be deemed encumbrances. If the Agency Option is exercised, the Agency shall be entitled to possession from the time of the closing of the sale. The Developer Parcels shall be delivered from the Developer to the Agency in an “as is” physical condition, with no warranty, express or implied by the Developer as to the presence of Hazardous Materials, or the condition of the soil, its geology or the presence of known or unknown faults, except to the extent of the Developer’s representations made pursuant to § 308.1 of this Agreement; provided that, the Developer shall, at the Agency’s request, remove those improvements that the Developer caused to be constructed upon the Developer Parcels and restore the Developer Parcels to a level condition.

§ 1004.4 Exercise of Option

The Agency shall exercise its Agency Option by giving written notice of exercise of the option on or before the date that is ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Option Period. This notice may be personally delivered to the Developer or mailed to the Developer by certified mail, return receipt requested, or it may be recorded in the land records of the County of Los Angeles with a copy mailed to the Developer. The Agency

shall exercise its Agency Option with respect to all of the Developer Parcels contained within a particular Subarea, or it shall have no right to exercise its Agency Option with respect to any Developer Parcel within that same Subarea. The Developer hereby agrees that if the Agency fails to exercise the Agency Option in regard to a particular Developer Parcel, the Developer shall waive any defense or objection it may have to the Agency’s exercise of its power of eminent domain with respect to that Developer Parcel.

SECTION 1005 ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACT AND PLANS

Any and all information provided to the Agency pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited to architectural plans, engineering studies and environmental studies), shall become the property of the Agency, without any liability to the Developer or the preparer of such materials.

ATTACHMENT NO 8

PUBLIC-PRIVATE FEASIBILITY AGREEMENT

I. Use of Available Site-Generated Property Tax Increment

A. HUD loan Repayment - Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions of Paragraph I.E. below limiting the Agency’s payment obligation hereunder to particular sources of funds), the amount payable by the Agency under this paragraph I.A.2 of this Attachment No. 8 shall be the principal amount of SIX MILLION FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($6,050,000) plus any interest thereon as provided in this Paragraph I.A.

1. The Agency will use every reasonable effort to enter into a cooperation agreement with the City whereby the City will provide an XXX Xxxxx to the Agency in the amount of ONE MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,800,000) to be applied by the Agency to the payment of interest accruing on the HUD Loan.

2. Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on or before September 30 of each year, beginning with the first September 30 which follows the Completion Date, but not earlier than the date of the Agency’s first draw of funds from the HUD Loan, and continuing until the HUD Loan has been paid in full, the Agency shall apply to the repayment of the HUD Loan an amount equal to the lesser of (i) fifty percent (50%) of Available Site-Generated Property Tax Increment received by the Agency during the prior Agency Fiscal Year, or (ii) such portion of such Available Site-Generated Property Tax Increment received by the Agency during the prior Agency fiscal year that is sufficient to pay the annual payment of principal and accrued interest on the HUD Loan for that year to the extent such annual debt service exceeds the available XXX Xxxxx funds. Agency payments of interest on the HUD Loan shall not reduce the principal amount of the Agency obligation under this Paragraph I A. The Agency hereby covenants to refrain from taking any action that would diminish or impair in any way its receipt (and subsequent payment of the Agency obligation) of Available Site-Generated Property Tax Increment.

3. Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on or before September 30 of each year, beginning with the first September 30 which follows the Completion Date, but not earlier than the date of the Agency’s first draw of funds from the HUD Loan, and continuing until the HUD Loan has been paid in full, the Developer shall pay to the Agency an amount that is sufficient.

when added to the available XXX Xxxxx funds and the Available Site-Generated Property Tax Increment to be paid for such fiscal year by the Agency pursuant to Paragraph I.A.2, to pay the annual payment of principal and accrued interest on the HUD Loan for that year. Within the time set forth in the Schedule of Performance, the Developer shall deliver to the Agency either (i) an irrevocable at-sight, standby letter of credit, first approved in writing by the Agency Administrator and legal counsel as to form, content and issuer, in an amount equal to the principal amount of the HUD Loan (“HUD Letter of Credit”); or (ii) a continuing absolute written guaranty of Developer’s obligations under this Paragraph I.A.3 first approved in writing by the Agency Administrator and legal counsel as to form, content and issuer, in an amount equal to the principal amount of the HUD Loan, and reasonably found by the Agency Administrator or designee to be issued by a person or persons of sufficient creditworthiness and sufficient and available net worth (“HUD Guaranty”) (the HUD Letter of Credit and the HUD Guaranty are sometimes referred to in this Agreement as the “HUD Letter of Credit or Guaranty”). The Agency shall have the right to draw or obtain payment on the HUD Letter of Credit or Guaranty upon the Developer’s failure to make any payment to the Agency required by this Paragraph I.A.3, and with no duty on the part of the Agency to first enforce any remedy to collect amounts in default from Developer. In the event the Agency obtains the HUD Loan, then the payment by Developer of all amounts due under this Paragraph I.A.3 and the delivery to Agency by Developer of the HUD Letter of Credit or Guaranty shall satisfy, to the extent of the principal amount of the HUD Loan, the Developer’s obligation to pay the Purchase Price to the Agency otherwise required by Section 503.1 of the Owner Participation Agreement. The amount of the HUD Letter of Credit or Guaranty shall be reduced at the close of escrow for the conveyance of the final portion of the Site from the Agency to the Developer, to an amount equal to the Developer’s total Purchase Price to the Agency otherwise required by Section 503.1 of the Owner Participation Agreement and may be further reduced with the prior written approval of the Agency Administrator or designee based upon a proven track record of generated Available Site-Generated Property Tax Increment.

4. If (i) the Developer pays to the Agency an amount sufficient to repay the principal balance and accrued interest on the HUD Loan, or (ii) the Agency is unable to obtain the HUD Loan and the Original Letter of Credit required of the Developer is increased as a result thereof (either of which shall be the “Trigger Event”), the Agency shall thereafter make payments to the Developer of Available Site-Generated Property Tax Increment as set forth in this Paragraph I.A.4. The principal amount of the Agency

obligation under this Paragraph 1.A.4 shall equal the unpaid principal balance of the Agency obligation under this Paragraph I.A. on the date of the Trigger Event (the “Unpaid Principal”). The Unpaid Principal Shall bear interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum from the date of the Trigger Event. Subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on or before September 30 of each year, beginning with the first September 30 that follows the date of the Trigger Event and continuing until the Unpaid Principal and any accrued interest thereon has been paid in full, the Agency shall pay the Developer an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of Available Site-Generated Property Tax. Increment received by the Agency during the prior Agency Fiscal Year.
