Senior Center Completion. The Participant hereby agrees to use good faith efforts in order to complete the design, development and construction of the Senior Center in accordance with the Schedules (as the same may be extended pursuant to Section 3 hereof or with the prior written consent of the City in its sole discretion) and further agrees to give to the City monthly status reports during the pendency of Schedule 1, quarterly status reports during the pendency of Schedule 2 and Schedule 3, and monthly status reports during the pendency of Schedule 4. By execution of this Agreement, the Agency and the City acknowledge that this Agreement is in furtherance of Section 607.a of the OPA, hereby accept the performance obligations reflected in the Schedules (as the same may be extended pursuant to Section 3 hereof or with the prior written consent of the City in its sole discretion) and further agree this Agreement and the time lines and time periods hereby created, proffered and accepted supersede any contrary provision, express or implied, of the OPA. (a) Subject to paragraph (b) below, if the scope of performance provided for in any Schedule(s) shall not be completed within the time period(s) provided for in such Schedule(s) (as such Schedule(s) may be extended as provided for in Section 3 hereof or with the prior written consent of the City in its sole discretion), then Participant shall be relieved of its obligation to design, develop and construct the Senior Center as set forth in the OPA and this Agreement and the Participant shall instead pay the entire Park In -Lieu Fee to the City, due and payable in immediately available funds no later than sixty (60) days from approval of the Certified Cost Statement, subject, however, to a credit against the Park In -Lieu Fee to the extent of the then aggregate of Participant Interim Costs, as the same shall be substantiated in the Certified Cost Statement (such Park In -Lieu Fee, less such credit at any time, being the "Park In -Lieu Fee Balance"). If the Participant is obligated under this paragraph (a) to pay the Park In -Lieu Fee Balance, then: (A) If the Participant disputes its obligation under this paragraph (a) to pay the Park In -Lieu Fee Balance, then, the Participant nevertheless shall deliver the Park In -Lieu Fee Balance to its duly appointed legal counsel or title company, and the same shall be held, in escrow, pending resolution of such dispute either (1) by final unappealable order issued in legal or equitable proceedings, or mediation or arbitration, or (2) by mutual agreement of the parties and joint written instructions given to the escrow agent. If such dispute is resolved by adversarial action (whether judicial proceedings, or mediation or arbitration), the prevailing parry shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable legal costs -3- WAS01 4175150700 320288-00018 and expenses and the cost of such proceedings from the others (with the City and the Participant being treated hereunder as the primary parties entitled to or obligated for the payment of such award, as the case may be). All funds at any time and from time to time held in escrow in accordance with this paragraph (A) shall be invested with such financial institution and with such investments as from time to time in writing are approved by the Participant and all such funds shall bear interest for the benefit and in the name of the Participant. The parties shall indemnify and agree to hold harmless and defend the escrow agent hereunder in the good faith performance of its duties, (ii) release the escrow agent from and against any liability to the parties except for fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, (iii) authorize the escrow agent to rely upon any signature, notice, demand, waiver, consent or other instrument in good faith believed by it to be genuine, and, (iv) in the event of a dispute between or among the parties respecting the proper disposition of escrowed funds hereunder, authorize the escrow agent to pay the same into the registry of any court having jurisdiction over the Participant and the City. (B) The amount of the Park In -Lieu Fee Balance shall be subject to adjustment to the extent of the Index Adjustment for the period from August 31, 2009 to the date of payment, which period shall be shortened in time for the aggregate number of days (if any) of prevention, delay and/or stoppage proximately resulting from any Force Majeure, City Delay or Litigation under Sections 3(a), 3(b) and/or 3(c) but shall not be shortened for the period, if any, that the Park In -Lieu Fee Balance is held in escrow in accordance with paragraph (A) above. For purposes of the foregoing, "Index Adjustment" means the arithmetic average of the percentage changes for the applicable time in the McGraw Park Engineering News (1) 20-City Materials Cost Index arithmetic average for cement and lumber (excluding structural steel) and (ii) 20-City Building Cost Index for Skilled Labor (excluding Building Cost and Wage$/hr). (b) If (i) a Force Majeure event or Litigation shall occur, and (ii) such occurrence reasonably prohibits the right of the City or the Participant to construct the Senior Center (a "Restrainin Event"), and (iii) such Restraining Event continues in effect for ten (10) months or more (but in no event beyond December 31, 2009), then at any time after the expiration of such 10-month period (or December 31, 2009, as the case may be), the City shall have the right upon thirty (30) days prior written notice given to the Participant to instruct the Participant to cease all work in furtherance of the Senior Center and instead to pay the Park In -Lieu Fee Balance, in which event the Participant shall be relieved of its obligation to design, develop and construct the Senior Center as set forth in the OPA and this Agreement and the Participant shall instead pay the Park In -Lieu Fee Balance, due and payable ratably over the 516 approved residential condominium units of the Project and at the time of issuance of building permits for such units, but in no event later than February 1, 2015. In addition and not in limitation of the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(b): (A) If under this Section 4(b) a Restraining Event shall occur and the Participant shall be relieved of its obligation to design, develop and construct the Senior Center and instead pay the Park In -Lieu Fee Balance and if less than the 516 approved residential condominium units for the Project in fact are constructed, then the deficiency -4- WASOI 41751507v10 3Z0388-00018 in the payment of Park -In -Lieu Fee Balance resulting as a consequence of the shortfall in the number of condominium units to be so constructed shall be paid (to the extent then known) at the time of issuance of the first building permit for the final building phase of the Project and any further deficiency shall be paid with the issuance of the final building permit in such final building phase. (B) If under this Section 4(b) a Restraining Event shall occur and the Participant shall be relieved of its obligation to design, develop and construct the Senior Center and instead pay the Park In -Lieu Fee Balance, then the amount of Park In -Lieu Fee Balance for each condominium unit shall be subject to Index Adjustment for the period from February 1, 2011 to the date of payment for such condominium unit. (C) Upon the occurrence of a Restraining Event, the City shall have the right upon thirty (30) days prior written notice given to the Participant to instruct the Participant to stay all work in furtherance of the Senior Center pending the outcome of such Restraining Event and the determination by the City of its right under the preceding provisions of this Section 4(b). Any such instruction by the City to stay work shall constitute a continuance of the Force Majeure event or Litigation giving rise to such Restraining Event and a continued extension of the affected Schedule(s). (D) For purposes of this paragraph 4(b), a "Restraining Event" shall be deemed to have occurred upon the issuance in that certain pending litigation (the "Parks Liti ag tion") captioned PARKS LEGAL DEFENSE FUND, a California non-profit organization, et al., v. THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH et al., as filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Orange, Case No. 00051261, of an order (1) restraining the construction of the Senior Center, (2) requiring with respect to the Senior Center the conduct of a new Environmental Impact Report under the California Environmental Quality Act, or (3) requiring approval of the Senior Center by a new Measure C vote under Section 612 of the City Charter. (E) If under this Section 4(b) a Restraining Event shall occur but the City does not exercise its right to stay work under paragraph (C) above and either (1) the Restraining Event does not continue in effect for ten (10) months or more (or beyond December 31, 2009), or (2) the Restraining Event continues in effect for ten (10) months or more (or beyond December 31, 2009) but the City does not exercise its right to relieve the Participant of its obligation to design, develop and construct the Senior Center and instead pay the Park In -Lieu Fee Balance as herein provided for, then and in any such event the Participant shall be obligated to continue performance in accordance with the Schedules (as the same may be extended pursuant to Section 3 hereof) to the extent such performance in the good faith judgment of Participant and its professional advisors proximately is not prevented, delayed or stopped by such Restraining Event. By way of example, if the Participant is obligated to continue performance as aforesaid and if as part of the Parks Litigation construction of the Senior Center shall be the subject of a restraining order, then the Participant nevertheless shall continue performance under -5- WAS01 41751507v10 320288-00018 Schedule 2 [Street and Utility Design] and Schedule 3 [Building Design] to the extent the same is not thereby so prevented, delayed or stopped. (c) If the Participant completes the design, development and construction of the Senior Center in accordance with the Schedules (as the same may be extended pursuant to Section 3 hereof), then, subject to the remainder of this paragraph (c), the amount of the Park In - Lieu Fee Balance existing as of August 31, 2009 shall be subject to Index Adjustment for the period (but only for the period) from August 31, 2009 through to the date of substantial completion of the Senior Center. For purposes of this Agreement, the Senior Center shall be deemed "substantially complete" and the "date of substantial completion" shall be deemed to have occurred when substantial completion occurs under the terms of the general construction contract or is certified by the project architect, provided, however, that, for purposes of calculating the Index Adjustment under this Section 4(c) and liquidated damages under Section 4(d) hereof, the date of substantial completion (or the date of certification thereof, as the case may be) shall be reduced in time for the aggregate number of days (if any) of prevention, delay and/or stoppage proximately resulting from any Force Majeure, City Delay or Litigation. (d) In addition and not in lieu of the preceding provisions of this Section 4, if the Participant completes the design, development and construction of the Senior Center and if the date of substantial completion occurs after April 22, 2011, then, the Participant shall pay to the City liquidated damages for the period from April 22, 2011 to and including such date of substantial completion (the "Liquidated Damages Period"), with such Liquidated Damages Period reduced in time for the aggregate number of days (if any) of prevention, delay and/or stoppage proximately resulting from any Force Majeure, City Delay or Litigation, and with such liquidated damages calculated at the rate of $2,500 per day for each business day of the Liquidated Damages Period and due and payable within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the Liquidated Damages Period. For purposes of this Section 4(d), a "business day" shall mean any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or day on which national banks doing business in the State of California are closed for business. (e) If at any time the Participant is obligated to pay the Park In -Lieu Fee or any Park In -Lieu Fee Balance hereunder or under the OPA and such obligation is a deferred obligation, then the Participant nevertheless shall have the right to prepay the same in whole or in part at any time or from time to time, without penalty. 5.

CALIFORNIA LAS VEGAS. NEVADA BELLEVUE. WASHINGTON allen@luch.com FILE NO.: 1122.0000 Thank you for your email earlier today regarding the new "Implementation Agreement" with Makallon Atlanta Huntington Beach, LLC. As you know, my client, Parks Legal Defense, does not oppose building of the Senior Center. My client is in favor of building the Senior Center just not in the location specified in the current agreement. Because of the extremely short time to review, I can only make a few points based on my, very limited, analysis of what you sent. 1. It does not appear that the notice is correct. This Agreement contemplates a definite construction of a public building. Both state law and the City Charter have specific notice provisions which do not seem to have been complied with here. 2. The Agreement would appear to violate the Subdivision Map Act. Under the Map Act (and under CEQA as well), the developer's performance of the park obligations must be secured by adequate security, usually a performance bond issued by an admitted carrier. Here there is no security. Even if one were to agree, which we do not, that this project is a proper use of park fees, the structure 179165.1 John Fujii Office of the City Attorney December 15, 2008 Page 2 proposed in the Agreement would allow such fees to be encumbered with no adequate assurance that the work of improvement will ever actually be built. 3. Based on what records I can find, Makallon Atlanta Huntington Beach, LLC appears, to be a single purpose LLC that owns but one asset, an interest in the Pacific City project. As with most single purpose entities set up by developers, it appears that this entity's assets are limited, or nonexistent. Therefore, its promise to pay money in the future is essentially nothing more than an optimistic expectation. Both CEQA and the Map Act require more. 4. It appears that the Agreement violates the Public Contract Code both procedurally and substantively in that the construction neither calls for appropriate bidding and protection of workers nor satisfies the requirements for issuing public work on a "cost plus basis". In conclusion, we find it hard to understand the City's logic in tying itself to an entity that has already not performed. This seems especially indefensible when the Agreement would allow the developer to put money in an account and simply write checks back to itself. We ask that the City Council put this matter over a few weeks to allow itself and the public to more adequately analyze the Agreement. Very truly yours, C zz� Mark C.
