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. Recommended Motion(s) Continued: (Community Development Commission) MOTION B: RESOLUTION OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS AND DETERMINATIONS, APPROVING THAT CERTAIN DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION THEREOF AND ANY DOCUMENTS RELATED THERETO ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ REW:lag:l 1- 16- 04.cdc COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA MEETING DATE: 11/16/1998 Agenda Item Number: ,02S 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 REW:lag:11- 16- 04.cdc COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA MEETING DATE: 11/16/19-798 C Agenda Item Number: 1G 2S- Economic Development Agency Staff Report INS DDA November 13, 1998 Page Number 2 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ REW:lag:l 1- 16- 04.cdc COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA MEETING DATE: 11/16/1998 Agenda Item Number: 12 ZS_� Economic Development Agency Staff Report INS DDA November 13, 1998 Page Number 3 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ REW:lag:l 1- 16- 04.cdc COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA MEETING DATE: 11/16// /11998 Agenda Item Number: %�SS Economic Development Agency Staff Report INS DDA November 13, 1998 Page Number 4 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: Gary Van Osdel, Executive Director, EDA John Hoeger, Project Manager, EDA Timothy J.

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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ REW:lag:l 1- 16- 04.cdc COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA MEETING DATE: 11/16/1998 Agenda Item Number: Economic Development Agency Staff Report INS DDA November 13, 1998 Page Number 7 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.

F. Blight Alleviation: This section describes the existing blighting conditions on the Site, and an explanation of how the proposed Agreement will assist in alleviating the blighting conditions. 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. 5 K E Y S E R M A R S T O N A S S O C I A T E S I N C. 500 SOUTH GRAND AVENUE, SUITE 1480 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 90071 PHONE: 213/622 -8095 FAX: 213/622 -5204 E -MAIL: kmala@kmainc.com WEB SITE: http: / /www.kmainc.com MEMORANDUM To: Mr. Ronald Winkler, Director San Bernardino Redevelopment Agency From: Keyser Marston Associates, Inc.

The Developer agrees to develop the Property as a commercial office building (the "Building ") in accordance with and within the limitations established in the Scope of Development set forth in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference and the Lease attached thereto. Subject to the limitations imposed herein, the Developer shall assume all of the Agency's obligations 10 under the Lease and shall obtain all necessary City approvals and approvals from other governmental agencies. b. The City's zoning ordinance including, but not limited to, parking and height requirements, and the City's building requirements are applicable to the use and 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 Scope of Development shall be subject to the City's zoning ordinance and building requirements. No action by the Agency or the City with reference to this Agreement or related documents shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any City parking, height or other requirements which are applicable to the Project or to the Developer, any successor in interest or tenant of the Developer or any tenant or successor in interest pertaining to the Property, except by modification or variance approved by the City consistent with this Agreement. The Agency shall cooperate with and shall assist the Developer in order to obtain modifications or variances from City zoning regulations necessary to develop the Project consistent with this Agreement and, in particular, with the Scope of Development. Any failure by the City either to approve or disapprove any of such modifications or variances within a forty five (45) calendar day period shall constitute an enforced delay 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. C. The Scope of Development set forth in Exhibit "A" is hereby approved by the Agency upon its execution of this Agreement. The Project shall be developed and completed in conformance with the approved Scope of Development and any and all other plans, specifications and similar development documents required by this Agreement, except for such changes as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by and between the Developer and the Agency subject to approval by the Lessee. d. The approval of the Scope of Development by the Agency hereunder shall not be binding upon the City Council or the Planning Commission of the City with respect to any approvals of the Project required by such other bodies. If any revisions of the Scope of Development as approved by the Agency shall be required by another 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. 11 e. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Developer agrees to accept and comply fully with any and all reasonable conditions of approval applicable to all permits and other governmental actions affecting the Project and consistent with this Agreement. f. The Developer shall cause landscaping plans for the Project to be prepared by a licensed landscape architect.

Within One Hundred Twenty (120) days of the execution of this Agreement, the Developer shall prepare and submit development plans, construction drawings and related documents for the development of the Property consistent with the Scope of Development and the Lease to the City, the Agency and the Lessee for review (including, but not limited to, architectural review of the exterior of structures); provided, however, that the Agency shall not have the right or responsibility to approve development plans, construction drawings or related documents for purposes of the issuance of a building permit or otherwise on behalf of the City, but shall only have the right of review and approval of such plans, drawings and documents for purposes of: (a) architecture and design of structures and the overall development of the Project, and (b) conformity of such plans, drawings and documents with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Lease. The development plans, construction drawings and related documents shall be submitted in two stages -- preliminary and final drawings (i.e., working drawings), plans and specifications. Final drawings, plans and specifications are hereby defined as those which contain sufficient detail necessary to obtain a building permit from the City. Any such items submitted to and approved in writing by the Agency shall not be subject to subsequent disapproval by the Agency, and any such Agency approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. h. During the preparation of all drawings and plans for the Project, the Agency staff and the Developer shall hold regular progress meetings to coordinate the preparation by the Developer, and the submission to and review by the City and the Agency of construction plans and related documents. The Agency staff and the Developer shall communicate and consult informally as frequently as is necessary to ensure that any such plans and related documents submitted by the Developer to the City and the Agency can receive prompt and speedy consideration. i. The Agency shall have the right of reasonable architectural review and approval of building exteriors and design of the Project.

The Agency shall cooperate with and shall assist the Developer in order for the Developer to obtain the approval of any and all development plans, construction drawings and related documents submitted by the Developer to the City consistent with this Agreement. Any failure by the City to approve any of such plans or to issue necessary permits for the development of the Property within a forty five (45) calendar day period shall constitute an enforced delay hereunder, and the Schedule of Performance shall be extended by that period of time beyond said forty five (45) calendar day period in which the City approves said plans; provided, however, that in the event that the City disapproves of any of such plans, the Developer shall within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such disapproval revise and resubmit such plans in accordance with the City's requirements and in such form an substance to as to obtain the City's approval thereof. 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, the Agency shall reimburse the Developer for all costs incurred in connection with the development of the Project upon written request by the Developer accompanied by supporting documentation for such costs. k. The Agency shall in good faith use its best efforts to cause the City to approve in a timely fashion any and all plans, drawings and documents submitted by the Developer hereunder and to cause the City not to impose new conditions inconsistent with: (a) prior plans, drawings and documents approved by the City, (b) the Scope of Development, or (c) the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agency does not guarantee or warrant that the City will approve Developer plans, drawings or documents or will not impose new conditions on the Developer. I. The Agency shall approve any modified or revised plans, drawings and related documents to which reference is made in this Agreement within the times established in the Schedule of Performance as long as such plans, drawings and related documents are generally consistent with the Scope of Development and any other plans which have been approved by the Agency. Upon any disapproval of plans, drawings or related documents, the Agency shall state in writing the reasons for such disapproval. The Developer, upon receipt of notice of any disapproval, shall promptly revise such disapproved portions of the plans, drawings or related documents in a manner that addresses the reasons for disapproval and reasonably meets the requirements of the Agency in order to obtain the Agency's approval thereof. The Developer shall resubmit such revised plans, drawings and related documents to the Agency as soon as possible after its receipt of the notice of disapproval and, in any event, no later than thirty (30) calendar days thereafter. The Agency shall approve or disapprove such revised plans, drawings and related documents in the same manner and within the same times as provided in this Section for approval or disapproval of plans, drawings and related documents initially submitted to the Agency. 13 M. If the Developer desires to make any change in the final construction drawings, plans and specifications and related documents after their approval by the Agency and /or the City, the Developer shall submit the proposed change in writing to the Agency and /or the City for approval. The Agency shall notify the Developer of approval or disapproval thereof in writing within thirty (30) calendar days after submission to the Agency. This thirty (30) calendar day period may be extended by mutual consent of the Developer and the Agency. Any such change shall, in any event, be deemed to be approved by the Agency unless rejected, in whole or in part, by written notice thereof submitted by the Agency to the Developer, setting forth in detail the reasons therefor, and such rejection shall be made within said thirty (30) calendar day period unless extended as permitted herein. The Agency shall use its best efforts to cause the City to review and approve or disapprove any such change as provided in Section 3.01(b) hereof. n. The Developer, upon receipt of a notice of disapproval by the Agency and /or the City, may revise such portions of the proposed change in construction drawings, plans and specifications and related documents as are rejected and shall thereafter resubmit such revisions to the Agency and /or the City for approval in the manner provided in Section 3.01(b) hereof. o. The Developer shall have the right during the course of construction to make changes in construction concerning the interior of structures and "minor field changes" without seeking the approval of the Agency; provided, however, that such changes do not affect the type of use to be conducted within all or any portion of a structure. Said "minor field changes" shall be defined as those changes from the approved final construction drawings, plans and specifications which have no substantial effect on the improvements and are made in order to expedite the work of construction in response to field conditions. Nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of or change in the City's Building Code requirements governing such "minor field changes" or in any and all approvals by the City otherwise required for such "minor field changes." p. The costs of developing the Property and of constructing all improvements thereon and adjacent thereto as set forth in the Scope of Development shall be borne by the Developer except as provided herein. q. The Developer shall begin and complete all construction and development and undertake all obligations and responsibilities of the Developer within the times specified in the Schedule of Performance shown in Exhibit "E" attached hereto, or within such reasonable extensions of such times as may be granted by the Agency or as otherwise provided for in this Agreement. The Schedule of Performance shall be subject to revision from time to time as mutually agreed upon in writing by and between the Developer and the Agency and as consistent with the Lease. Any and all deadlines for performance by the parties shall be extended for any times attributable to delays which are not the fault of the performing party and are caused by the other party, other than periods for review and approval or reasonable disapprovals of plans, drawings and related documents, specifications or applications for permits as provided in this Agreement and as consistent with the Lease. 14 r. Prior to and during the period of construction of the Project, the Developer shall submit to the Agency written progress reports when and as reasonably requested by the Agency but in no event more frequently than every two (2) weeks.

In addition, the Developer shall provide to the Agency adequate proof of comprehensive automobile liability insurance covering owned, non -owned and hired vehicles, combined single limit in the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) each occurrence; and proof of workers' compensation insurance. Any and all insurance policies required hereunder shall be obtained from insurance companies admitted in the State of California and rated at least B +: XII in Best's Insurance Guide. All said insurance policies shall provide that they may not be canceled unless the Agency and the City receive written notice of cancellation at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the effective date of cancellation. Any and all insurance obtained by the Developer hereunder shall be primary to any and all insurance which the Agency and /or City may otherwise carry, including self insurance, which for all purposes of this Agreement shall be separate and apart from the requirements of this Agreement. Any insurance policies governing the Property as obtained by the Agency shall not be transferred from the Agency to the Developer. Appropriate insurance means those insurance policies approved by the Agency Counsel consistent with the foregoing. Any and all insurance required hereunder shall be maintained and kept in force until the Agency has issued the Certificate of Completion for the Property. t. The Developer for itself and its successors and assigns agrees that in the construction of the improvements on the property provided for in this Agreement, the Developer will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of sex, marital status, race, color, religion, creed, national origin, or ancestry. U. The Developer shall carry out its construction of the improvements on and off the Property in conformity with all applicable laws, including all applicable federal and state labor standards and requirements; provided, however, that the Developer and its contractors, successors, assigns and transferees are not waiving their rights to contest any such laws, rules or standards.

Any and all officers, employees, agents or representatives of the Agency and the City who enter the Property pursuant hereto shall identify themselves at the job site office upon their entrance on to the Property and shall at all times be accompanied by a representative of the Developer while on the Property; provided, however, that the Developer shall make a representative of the Developer available for this purpose at all times during normal construction hours upon reasonable notice from the Agency. The Agency shall indemnify and hold the Developer harmless from injury, property damage or liability arising out of the exercise by the Agency and /or the City of this right of access, other than injury, property damage or liability relating to the negligence of the Developer or its officers, agents or employees.

Notwithstanding the above, Developer shall remediate, or cause the remediation of the Property on behalf of the Agency at the Agency's sole cost and expense. The Developer shall submit invoices to the Agency every thirty (30) days, or as received, and the Agency shall reimburse the Developer for said costs within thirty (30) days of receipt by the Agency.

Nothing contained herein shall confer legal responsibility for remediation of the Property to the Developer and the Agency shall indemnify and hold harmless the Developer as provided in Exhibit "H" hereof from any and all damages arising out of its remediation of, or the condition of, the Property. Section 3.02. Responsibility of the Agency. The Agency, without any expense of the Developer therefor, except as provided in Section 2.01(c) hereof and 16 without the creation of the assessments or claims against the Property as a result thereof, shall perform the work specified for the Agency to perform, as follows: a. The Agency shall complete a Phase II Environmental Survey and standard soil tests on the Property. Upon completion of said studies, the Agency shall delivery a copy of said studies to the Lessee and to the Developer. b. The Agency shall use its best efforts to assist the Developer in obtaining the necessary approvals from the Lessee in order to cause the transfer of ownership of the Property from the Agency to the Developer, including but not limited to the execution of all assignment documents required by the Lessee to evidence the substitution of the Developer for the Agency under the Lease Agreement. Section 3.03. Taxes Assessments. Encumbrances and Liens.

The Developer shall remove, or shall have removed, any levy or attachment made on the Property, or shall assure the satisfaction thereof, within a reasonable time but in any event prior to a sale of the Property, or any portion thereof, thereunder. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prohibit the Developer from contesting the validity or amounts of any tax assessment, encumbrance or lien, nor to limit the remedies available to the Developer in respect thereto. The covenants of the Developer set forth in this Section relating to the placement of any unauthorized mortgage, trust deed, deed of trust, encumbrance or lien, shall remain in effect only until all Certificates of Completion have been recorded with respect to the Property.

It is understood and agreed by the Developer that neither the Developer, nor its assigns or successors in interest to the Property or this Agreement, shall use or otherwise sell, transfer, convey, assign, lease, leaseback or hypothecate the Property or any portion thereof to any entity or party, or for any use of the Property, that 17 is partially or wholly exempt from the payment of real property taxes pertinent to the Property, or any portion thereof, or which would cause the exemption of the payment of all or any portion of such real property taxes. C. In the absence of specific written agreement or approval by the Agency, no unauthorized sale, transfer, conveyance, lease, leaseback or assignment of the Property shall be deemed to relieve the Developer or any other party from any 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. iu: 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 ". ARTICLE IV USE OF THE SITE Section 4.01. Uses.

Section 4.04. Form of Nondiscrimination and Nonsegregation Clauses.
