SYNOPSIS OF COMMISSION /COUNCIL /COMMITTEE ACTION(S) CONTINUED:
GSA had previously undertaken a solicitation process to obtain proposals from developers and property owners for
the siting of the proposed INS facility within the San Bernardino /Riverside region. In 1997, the Commission
directed EDA Staff to participate in the response process to assure that at least one proposal would include a City of
San Bernardino location. Preliminary cost estimates were compiled, site plans and architectural elevations were
prepared and a proposed construction budget and rental rates, including operating, maintenance and repair expenses,
were determined. All such estimates were included within the final proposal as submitted by the EDA Staff on
April 24, 1998, to the GSA during the solicitation and response process conducted by GSA.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGENCY
STAFF REPORT
INS Office Building Disposition And Development Agreement
THE INS PROJECT
The EDA owned parcel is approximately 3.27 acres in size and was acquired over a period of years
starting in 1982 for a total price of $208,350. The INS facility is proposed to consist of an initial
phase of approximately 39,000 net usable square feet with the opportunity for a possible expansion
of an additional 10,000 square feet. It is anticipated that as many as 600 persons per day may visit
the INS facility. The on -site parking requirement will be determined by a focused traffic and parking
study for the project, however, it should be noted that the EDA proposal met the parking
requirements stipulated by GSA.
THE LEASE AGREEMENT
On August 17, 1998, the GSA issued its notice of intention to award the INS facility lease to the
EDA based upon the Final and Best Offer submitted in March, 1998. The award letter from GSA
stated that the EDA had 60 working days (which was determined to be November 7, 1998) to
execute the proposed final Lease Agreement which was submitted by GSA as a part of the award
materials. The final lease document included as part of the award letter consisted of 5 pages which
set forth the final modifications to the standard form GSA contract and lease documents plus 4 plan
sheets including floor plans and elevations. The final Lease Agreement included the commitment
by GSA as to the actual 10 -year lease term and the rental rates to be paid to the EDA based upon the
required net usable square footage of the INS facility. Twelve (12) related lease documents and the
standard GSA forms are incorporated into the final Lease Agreement. These related lease documents
and standard GSA forms had been reviewed and approved by EDA and were originally delivered
to GSA as part of the Final and Best Offer submittal in March 1998.
Upon review of the 5 page final Lease Agreement and the related lease documents and standard
forms delivered by GSA in August, 1998, by the City Attorney's Office and Special Counsel it was
apparent that except for possible errors or modifications in the 5 page final Lease Agreement
document, the EDA staff and the Commission had previously consented to the terms and provisions
of the various related lease documents and standard GSA forms. Included within the final Lease
Agreement is GSA's requirement for providing occupancy to the INS in the facility by not later than
November, 1999. EDA staff was of the view that the occupancy date was intended to be February,
2000 and could have been extended to perhaps June, 2000. Questions were raised upon further
review of the EDA Final and Best Offer as to whether the EDA would be able to construct the INS

facility within the originally contemplated budget as prepared by EDA staff. Efforts were also
undertaken to obtain alternate financing sources in the form of commercial bank loans or taxable
bond financings rather than relying upon EDA reserve funds to fund the construction of the INS
facility.
The final Lease Agreement, when fully executed by both the EDA and GSA, obligates the EDA to
complete the project by the required date at whatever cost is required based upon construction bids.
The EDA is responsible for payment of damages to GSA in the event occupancy is not achieved by
the mandatory date or if GSA is required to obtain an alternate facility due to the inability of the
EDA to complete the facility by the dates agreed to by the EDA.
CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT ISSUES
As discussions ensued between GSA representatives and EDA staff during the month of September
1998, it became apparent that the EDA would have to substantially accelerate the completion of final
working drawings in order to meet the time schedules that GSA was now setting for the completion
and occupancy of the INS facility. GSA also required that the EDA execute the 5 page final Lease
Agreement prior to November 7, 1998.
As these discussions with GSA were unfolding, the EDA's project manager for the INS facility
resigned on September 15, 1998. As a result, EDA determined that either: (i) a construction manager
would need to be retained immediately to coordinate the architectural, civil engineering and
structural engineering efforts; or (ii) the EDA would need to transfer its interest in the the final
Lease Agreement and the property to a qualified developer to complete the pre - construction efforts
for the design, obtain the necessary building permits and, obtain construction and permanent
financing and to assure that occupancy was achieved by the required date.
On October 22, 1998 the results of the Phase I environmental hazardous substance investigation of
the site was delivered to EDA staff. This Phase I review indicated various levels of surface
contamination caused by previous gas station and vehicle repair uses and splashing of oils from the
adjacent rail lines. A notable issue covered in the Phase I investigation was that certain dumping
activities had occurred on a portion of the site in the early 1900's when a ravine traversed the site.
The extent of dumping deposits in the old ravine appear to vary in depth from 6 to 22 feet in a
southeasterly direction across the site.

It is anticipated that the EDA will be authorized to consolidate further Phase II environmental
investigation work on the site with the commencement of removal of the old dump or fill materials
and import of clean soils to the site. This cost for the site preparation and soil compaction will have
to be borne by the EDA regardless of the alternative selected for the development of this site or
whether the INS facility or another project were to be constructed on this site.
DEVELOPER SELECTION PROCESS
On Wednesday, October 7, 1998, GSA communicated with the Executive Director that the EDA
would have 24 hours or until 3:00PM on Thursday, October 8, 1998, to approve, execute and deliver
the final Lease Agreement to GSA or GSA would offer the INS facility to the next best proposal.
EDA Staff was unable to obtain information from GSA whether the second best proposal was within
the City of San Bernardino. On Thursday, October 8, 1998, at 9:OOAM, the Executive Director
actually received by fax a demand letter from GSA. The Executive Director met with Special
Counsel and Mr. Ralph Affaitati at approximately 2:OOPM that same afternoon to discuss whether
Mr. Affaitati could assume the obligations of the EDA under the final Lease Agreement if it were
finally executed by the EDA and delivered to GSA within the time restraints imposed by GSA.
It was explained to Mr. Affaitati that EDA staff could not commit to assign the final Lease
Agreement to any particularly individual or company prior to official action by the Commission after
having conducted a public hearing as required by the Community Redevelopment Law. A first step
in the process prior to scheduling any such public hearing is the preparation of a draft of a suitable
disposition and development agreement ( "DDA "). At that time Mr. Affaitati was willing to
commence the architectural and structural engineering design at his own cost and participation with
EDA Staff and Special Council in the preparation of a draft DDA without any binding commitment
that the final DDA would be awarded to him after the conclusion of the required public hearing.
On the basis of these primarily discussions with Mr. Affaitati, the Executive Director sought the
legal advice from Special Counsel as to the authorization for the Mayor as Chairperson of the
Commission to execute the final Lease Agreement. Special Counsel concurred and eventually
provided GSA with a written legal opinion upon request as to the legal ability of the EDA to enter
into the final Lease Agreement and the authority for the execution of the final Lease Agreement.
The signed form of the final Lease Agreement was faxed to GSA prior to the 3:OOPM deadline, the
original was sent via messenger to GSA for delivery that afternoon and an additional copy was sent
to GSA via Federal Express for deliver the next day. To date, we have not been informed as to
whether GSA has executed the lease agreement.

On October 9, 1998, an unsolicited proposal was received from the Choppin Company offering
$1,120,000 in cash to the EDA for the property and also offering to hold harmless the EDA from any
and all liabilities under the final Lease Agreement if the final Lease Agreement were assigned by
the EDA to the Choppin Company.
This item was presented to the RDA Committee on Monday, October 12, 1998, at which time EDA
staff was directed to obtain additional written proposals and not to commit even informally to any
particular proposal at that time. This same matter was submitted to the Commission on Monday,
October 19, 1998, for further discussion and direction. The Commission ratified the execution of
the final Lease Agreement by the Chairperson and Secretary and directed EDA Staff to undertake
a formal interview process to obtain a recommended proposal complying with the 8 criteria imposed
by the Commission and discussed in open session. Said criteria included:(i) cash at close of escrow;
(ii) completion bond or other guarantee; (iii) retain architects and engineers at own cost and construct
project without EDA financial on -site or off -site assistance; (iv) obligation contingent upon
completion of Phase I, soils tests and land use entitlements provided by EDA; (v) history of past
involvement with GSA; (vi) track record of the developer; (vii) assurance to meet time deadline; and
(viii) general past history.
Interviews were established for Thursday, October 22, 1998, with an interview team comprised of
the following individuals on behalf of the EDA:

SECTION 33433 REPORT AND PUBLIC HEARING
Health and Safety Code Section 33433 permits a transfer of property acquired with tax increment
revenues after a public hearing and the preparation of a written report. The financial consulting firm
of Keyser Marston has prepared such report on behalf of the EDA based upon information provided
by the EDA Staff. At the public hearing, the Commission is not obligated to accept the
recommendations of EDA Staff or the interview panel and the Commission may consider other oral
and written presentations at the public hearing and, may decide on another alternative for
undertaking the INS facility development -- Commission retains the prerogative to award the DDA
to another developer on any terms and conditions that are consistent with the Section 33433 report
and public hearing notice.
SUMMARY OF SECTION 33433 REPORT
The summary report prepared by Keyser Marston was based upon the October 22, 1998
recommendations of the interview panel that the DDA be awarded to the Vanir Group of
Companies ( "Vanir "). Vanir has offered to release $100,000 cash to the EDA upon transfer of
title to the Rialto Avenue Site and to develop a formula for the determination of the fair market
value of said property in the following manner. Vanir will obtain a construction loan for the
project. The lender bank will conduct an appraisal of the INS facility and the parties will agree
that the land value determined in the appraisal shall constitute the fair market value of the land.

Thus, Vanir will pay the EDA the remaining amount of the price of the land (purchase price less
$100,000 deposit received) based upon said appraisal. The remaining amount of the purchase
price shall be paid over 10 years from 15% of net rental revenues. The full land purchase price is
due in 10 years or upon the sale or refinancing of the project.
When the purchase price of the property being conveyed is less than fair market value, Health and
Safe Code Section 33433 requires that the report explain the reason for any difference. While it
appears that the purchase price is lower than fair market value, based upon the Keyser Marston
Report, when the costs of acquisition, environmental clean up and site preparation are included, the
disposition price should be approximately equal to the fair market value of the property.
The costs to the EDA for the project are land acquisition and environmental remediation. The EDA
acquired the land for $208,350 and environmental remediation is estimated at $250,000 as a
minimum to upwards of $600,000. Thus, total costs to the EDA are estimated at $408,350.
The revenue to the EDA from the disposition of the Rialto Avenue Site will come from land sales
and tax increment revenues. Land sale costs shall be paid based upon the appraisal $100,000 of
which shall be received at the execution of the DDA; and it is estimated that the present value of tax
increment revenues from the project equals $850,000. Thus, the EDA is projected to receive at least
$541,650 in net revenues from the project, plus an additional sum for the remaining value of the
interest in the land which will be determined by appraisal.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the public hearing be opened, comments and written materials submitted
at the hearing be considered by the Commission, and based upon the documentation available to
the EDA Staff as of the date of this Staff Report, that the attached Resolutions be adopted as
proposed andthe DDA be awarded to Vanir Development.

G. Conformance with the AB 1290 Implementation Plan: The section identifies
how the proposed Agreement will result in a development that fulfills goals and
objectives established in the Agency's AB 1290 Five Year Implementation Plan.
SALIENT POINTS OF THE PROPOSED AGREEMENT
A. Description of the Proposed Development
The purpose of the proposed Agreement is to effect the development of an office
building for the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) in downtown San
Bernardino. Based on the proposed lease agreement with the General Services
Administration (GSA) for the INS, the proposed project would consist of an office
building of up to 60,000 square feet and appurtenant parking, landscaping and on -site
improvements. The Agency owns the Site and will convey the Site to the Developer
through the Agreement.
B. Agency Responsibilities
1. Prepare a Phase I and Phase II environmental assessment and perform
remediation of the Site.
2. Assign the lease agreement with the INS to Developer.
3. Convey the cleared Site to the Developer in an as -is physical condition.
C. Developer Responsibilities
1. Pay the Agency $100,000 at the execution of the DDA which amount shall be
credited as required against the purchase price.
2. Purchase the Site from the Agency for appraised value. The purchase price will
be secured by a 10 -year note payable from 15% of net operating income and /or
sale or refinancing proceeds.
3. Assume all costs of planning, designing, developing and constructing all off -site
and on -site improvements and building improvements on the Site in accordance
with the lease agreement with the INS.
4. Undertake all environmental remediation of the Site.
E
II. COST OF THE AGREEMENT TO THE AGENCY
The costs to be incurred by the Agency are comprised of land acquisition and
environmental remediation, demolition of the existing improvements. The Agency costs
have been estimated as follows:
Site Acquisition $208,350
Environmental
Remediation 200.000
Total Agency Costs $408,350
The Agency acquired the Site for $208,350. Environmental remediation costs are
estimated to be $200,000. Total Agency costs are estimated to be $408,350.
The Agency will receive revenues from three sources: the land purchase deposit, land
sale proceeds and tax increment revenues. In terms of land sale proceeds, the Agency
will receive the appraised value for the Site less the $100,000 land purchase deposit.
This amount will be paid to the Agency from 15% of net rental income and sale or
refinancing proceeds. Under the Agreement, the appraised value will be determined at
completion. The Agency will also receive tax increment revenues over the remaining
term of the Central City Redevelopment Project Area through 2021.
Land Purchase Deposit $100,000
Land Sale Proceeds TBD
NPV Tax Increment Revenues 850.000
Total Agency Revenues $950,000
As indicated above, Agency costs amount to $408,350 and the land purchase deposit
and Agency tax increment revenues are estimated at $950,000. Under the Agreement,
the Agency is projected to receive $541,650 in net revenues. Payments received for
the remainder of land purchase over time will increase the Agency's net revenues.
III. ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE INTERESTS TO BE CONVEYED DETERMINED
AT THE HIGHEST USE PERMITTED UNDER THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
The Site has a peripheral location in downtown San Bernardino. Given the location
characteristics of the Site, office use represents the highest and best use of the Site.
Under the Agreement the Site will be conveyed to the Developer at the appraised value
for an office use which represents the highest use allowed under the Redevelopment
Plan.
3
IV. ESTIMATED REUSE VALUE OF THE INTERESTS TO BE CONVEYED
DETERMINED BASED ON THE REQUIRED USE AND WITH THE
CONDITIONS, COVENANTS AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS REQUIRED BY
THE PROPOSED AGREEMENT
As noted above, the Site will be conveyed to the Developer for the highest use value
allowed under the Redevelopment Plan.
V. CONSIDERATION RECEIVED AND COMPARISON WITH THE FAIR REUSE
VALUE
As noted above, the Site is being conveyed to the Developer at its highest use value.
VI. BLIGHT ALLEVIATION
The implementation of the proposed Agreement will result in the development of a
vacant site and the remediation of environmental conditions at the Site. The
development of a modern office building at the Site will add to the commercial diversity
of the area and will bring new employment to the downtown.
VII. CONFORMANCE WITH THE AB 1290 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
The Five Year Implementation Plan adopted by the Agency contains several broad
operational goals and objectives. Among these are the following:
1. Creation of incentive programs for existing property owners to reinvest in their
properties, including the utilization of Disposition and Development Agreements
and Owner Participation Agreements.
2. Creation of viable housing options within the Redevelopment Project that span a
range of incomes, including housing for the homeless and formerly homeless.
3. Creative implementation of catalyst projects which spur reinvestment on
surrounding blocks.
4. Land acquisition for the creation of public facilities which serve both the
immediate neighborhood and the community at large.
5. Enhancement of ceremonial streets which function as the focal points in their
individual neighborhoods.
6. Continued preservation of historically significant structures.
0
7. Improvements to existing water and sewer lines, streets, sidewalks, parkways
and lighting in the public right -of -way.
8. Continued participation in the enhancement of the public infrastructure system.
9. Acquisition and development of property to abate nuisance uses and provide for
future development.
The proposed Agreement will assist the Agency in meeting some of the objectives and
goals of its Five Year Implementation Plan in the following ways:
1. The Agreement encourages a reinvestment and revitalization in the blighted
block which encompasses the Site by the addition of a new office complex.
2. The provision of the office building and its occupancy by the INS will increase
employment in downtown San Bernardino, providing a catalyst for additional
reinvestment by private enterprise in the surrounding area.
3. The office building will help to create additional job opportunities in the
community.
Based on the preceding factors, the proposed Agreement is consistent with the adopted
Five Year Implementation Plan.

development of the Property pursuant to this Agreement. The Developer acknowledges
that any change in the plans for development or the use of the Property as set forth in the

hereunder and, subject to the terms of the Lease, the Schedule of Performance attached
hereto as Exhibit E shall be extended by that period of time beyond said forty five (45)
calendar day period in which the City approves or disapproves such modifications or
variances. In the event that any delays are caused hereunder due to the actions or
inactions of the City and said delays result in a breach of the terms of the Lease and said
breach is not waived by the lessee after Developer, using its best efforts to negotiate a
modification to the Lease, has not obtained such modification or waiver, then the
Developer may, at its sole election, terminate this Agreement. In the event Developer
terminates this Agreement pursuant to this subsection, upon written request by the
Developer accompanied by supporting documentation, the Agency shall reimburse the
Developer for all costs incurred in connection with the development of the Project.

government official, agency, department or bureau having jurisdiction over the
development of the Property, the Developer and the Agency shall cooperate in efforts to
obtain waivers of such revisions, or to obtain approvals of any such revisions which have
been made by the Developer and have thereafter been approved by the Agency. The
Agency shall not unreasonably withhold approval of such revisions.

day period in which the City approves said plans; provided, however, that in the event that

of the City and said delays result in a breach of the terms of the Lease and said breach is

to the Lease, has not obtained such modification or waiver, then the Developer may, at its

obligations under this Agreement.
Section 3.06. Security Financing: Right of Holders.
a. Notwithstanding any provision set forth in Section 3.05 hereof to the
contrary, mortgages, deeds of trust, or any other form of lien required for any reasonable
method of financing are permitted before the recordation of the Certificate of Completion
(referred to in Section 3.08 of this Agreement), but only for the purpose of securing loans
of funds to be used for financing the acquisition of the Property, and any other
expenditures necessary and appropriate to develop the Property under this Agreement.
The Developer shall notify the Agency in writing in advance of any mortgage, deed of trust,
or other form of lien for financing if the Developer proposes to enter into the same before
the recordation of the Certificate of Completion. The Developer shall not enter into any
such conveyance for financing without prior written approval of the Agency. In the event
the Agency approves said instrument of conveyance as herein provided, the Agency shall
execute all necessary agreements to subordinate its interests hereunder to said
instruments of conveyance as necessary to obtain such financing.
b. In any event, the Developer shall promptly notify the Agency of any
mortgage, deed of trust or other refinancing, encumbrance or lien that has been created
or attached thereto prior to completion of the construction of the improvements on the
Property whether by voluntary act of the Developer or otherwise; provided, however, that
no notice of filing of preliminary notices or mechanic's liens need be given by the Developer
to the Agency prior to suit being filed to foreclose such mechanic's lien.
C. The words "mortgage" and "deed of trust" as used herein shall be
deemed to include all other customary and appropriate modes of financing real estate
acquisition, construction and land development. The Agency agrees to make such
amendments regarding the rights of any lender as the approved lender shall reasonably
require and as permitted under the Lease.
d. The holder of any mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest
authorized by this Agreement shall in no manner be obligated by the provisions of this
Agreement to construct or complete the improvements or to guarantee such construction
or completion; nor shall any covenant or any other provision in the grant deed for the
Property be construed so to obligate such holder. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed to permit or authorize any such holder to devote the Property to any uses, or to
construct any improvements thereon, other than those uses or improvements provided for
or authorized by this Agreement during the term of the Lease.

Section 3.07. Right of the Agency to Satisfy Other Liens on the Property
after Conveyance of Title. After the conveyance of title to the Property by the Agency to
the Developer and prior to the recordation of the Certificate of Completion (referred to in
Section 3.08 of this Agreement), and after the Developer has had a reasonable time to
challenge, cure or satisfy any unauthorized liens or encumbrances on the Property, the
Agency shall after sixty (60) calendar days prior written notice to the Developer have the
right to satisfy any such liens or encumbrances; provided, however, that nothing in this
Agreement shall require the Developer to pay or make provisions for the payment of any
tax, assessment, lien or charge so long as the Developer in good faith shall contest the
validity or amount thereof, and so long as such delay in payment shall not subject the
Property, or any portion thereof, to forfeiture or sale.
Section 3.08. Certificate of Completion.
a. Following the written request therefor by the Developer and the
completion of construction and development of the improvements, excluding any normal
and customary tenant improvements and minor building "punch -list" items, to be completed
by the Developer upon the Property, the Agency shall furnish the Developer with a
Certificate of Completion for the Property, substantially in the form of Exhibit "F" attached
hereto. Notwithstanding any provision set forth herein to the contrary, the completion of
construction and development of improvements on the Property shall be deemed to include
the completion of construction and development of any and all buildings on said Property
and any and all parking, landscaping and related improvements necessary to support or
which meet the requirements applicable to the building and its use and occupancy on said
Property.
b. The Agency shall not unreasonably withhold the issuance of such
Certificate of Completion. The Certificate of Completion shall be, and shall so state, that
it is a conclusive determination of satisfactory completion of all of the obligations of this
Agreement with respect to the development of the Property. After the recordation of the
Certificate of Completion, any party then owning or thereafter purchasing, leasing or
otherwise acquiring any interest in the Property shall not (because of such ownership,
purchase, lease or acquisition) incur any obligation or liability under this Agreement, except
that such party shall be bound by any covenants contained in the grant deed, lease or
other instrument of transfer which grant deed, lease or other instrument of transfer shall
include the provisions of Section 4.01 through 4.05, inclusive, of this Agreement. Neither
the Agency nor any other person, after the recordation of the Certificate of Completion,
shall have any rights remedies or controls that it would otherwise have or be entitled to
exercise under this Agreement with respect to the Property, as a result of a default in or
breach of any provision of this Agreement, and the respective rights and obligations of the
parties shall be limited to those set forth in the grant deed.
C. The Certificate of Completion shall be in such form as to permit it to
be recorded in the Recorder's Office of the County where the Property is located.
d. If the Agency refuses or fails to furnish a Certificate of Completion for
the Property after written request from the Developer, the Agency shall, within fifteen (15)
19
calendar days of the written request or within three (3) calendar days after the next regular
meeting of the Agency, whichever date occurs later, provide to the Developer a written
statement setting forth the reasons with respect to the Agency's refusal or failure to furnish
a Certificate of Completion. The statement shall also contain the Agency's opinion of the
action the Developer must take to obtain a Certificate of Completion. If the reason for such
refusal is confined to the immediate unavailability of specific items or materials for
construction or landscaping at a price reasonably acceptable to the Developer or other
minor building "punch- list" items, the Agency will issue its Certificate of Completion upon
the posting of a bond or irrevocable letter of credit, reasonably approved as to form and
substance by the Agency Counsel and obtained by the Developer in an amount
representing a fair value of the work not yet completed as reasonably determined by the
Agency. If the Agency shall have failed to provide such written statement within the
foregoing period, the Developer shall be deemed conclusively and without further action
of the Agency to have satisfied the requirements of this Agreement with respect to the
applicable portion of the Property as if a Certificate of Completion had been issued
therefor.
e. Such Certificate of Completion 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 described herein, or any part thereof. Such Certificate of Completion shall
not be deemed to constitute a notice of completion as referred to in Section 3093 of the
California Civil Code, nor shall it act to terminate the continuing covenants or conditions
subsequent contained in the Grant Deed attached hereto as Exhibit "D ".

interest in the Property by Assignee shall be valid, even if otherwise permissible under this

reimbursement or subrogation Guarantor may have pursuant to Sections 2847 and 2848,
or otherwise, or any right to otherwise enforce any remedy which Agency has against the

endorser or co- signor; and
HAVING BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE FOREGOING RIGHTS AND
DEFENSES, GUARANTOR AGREES THAT GUARANTOR SHALL NOT HAVE, AND
GUARANTOR DOES HEREBY WAIVE, ANY AND ALL OF THE FOREGOING RIGHTS
AND DEFENSES SET FORTH ABOVE.

act or conduct on the part of Agency, or by any neglect to exercise such right of setoff or

released by an instrument in writing executed by Agency.
7. In the event of litigation for the enforcement of this Guarantee, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to costs including reasonable attorneys fees and court
costs.
8. This Guarantee shall remain in effect until such time as the obligations
of the Developer under the DDA are satisfied in full. At such time as all performance and
financial responsibilities of Developer to Agency have been extinguished, this Guarantee
shall be of no force and effect and shall be delivered to the Guarantor.
9. In all cases where there is but a single Developer or a single Guarantor,
then all words used herein in the plural shall be deemed to have been used in the singular
where the context and construction so require; and when there is more than one Developer
named herein, or when this Guarantee is executed by more than one Guarantor, the word
"Developer" and the word "Guarantor" respectively shall mean all and any one or more of
them.
