This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and end on the earliest of: (a) ____________, 2028 (the "Expiration Date") which is ten (10) years from the Effective Date; (b) the date of any termination of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof; or (c) the date of issuance by the City of the final Estoppel Certificate of Completion for the last Phase of Vertical Improvements (“Term”).
Extension of the Term.
Except as a result of the express extension rights set forth in this Section 1.3, the Term of this Agreement shall not extend beyond the Expiration Date, unless and until the City Council, in its sole discretion, approves such an extension amending the Agreement to provide for a term beyond the initial Term.
In the event that the Backbone Infrastructure has not been completed by the Outside Date set forth in the Milestone Schedule and there is no existing Developer Event of Default under this Agreement, the Term of this Agreement shall be automatically extended by the number of months of delay in the completion of the Backbone Infrastructure to account for the delay in the completion of the Backbone Infrastructure, provided, however, no such extension shall exceed a total of five (5) years. By way of example, if the Outside Date for the completion of the Backbone Infrastructure in the Milestone Schedule is June 2022 but the actual projected completion date for the Backbone Infrastructure is extended to January 2024, the Term of this Agreement will be extended by 19 months to account for the delay in the completion of the Backbone Infrastructure. Nothing in this Section 1.3 shall be construed to limit the scope or duration of those obligations that expressly survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
The City Manager may grant extensions of the Term in addition to any extension pursuant to Section 1.3(a) in the event that MidPen and the Collaborating Partners demonstrate to the City Manager's satisfaction that they are making progress toward Completion of the Vertical Improvements, provided, however, any such extension shall not be for longer than one (1) year and cumulatively any such extensions granted by the City Manager pursuant to this section shall not exceed five (5) years.

The extension of time for force majeure events shall be from the time the Party claiming the extension provides written notice to the other Party in accordance with Section 15.1 of the event that gave rise to such period of delay which notice shall specify the Milestone Dates that are being extended. The extension of time shall continue until the date that the cause for the extension no longer exists or is no longer applicable at which time the applicable Milestone Dates (and all subsequent Milestone Schedule dates affected by the force majeure event) will be adjusted to account for the extension period, provided however no Party may request or claim extensions pursuant to this Section 1.4 for a cumulative period in excess of five (5) years.

If a Party fails to meet a Progress Milestone Date, either Party can require the other Party to meet and confer regarding the impact to the Milestone Schedule of such failure with the goal of the Parties reaching mutual agreement on adjustments to the Progress Milestone Dates in the Milestone Schedule.

Only upon City Manager's approval of the Completion Assurances shall this condition be deemed met.
Subdivision Map.
As a condition precedent to the conveyance of any Phase of the Property a Final Map for the applicable Phase to be conveyed must be recorded. MidPen and the City will coordinate the applications for any Tentative Map and Final Map with the developer of the adjacent property as part of the installation of the Backbone Infrastructure. MidPen agrees to cooperate with the adjacent property developers to expeditiously complete the mapping process.

The work shall proceed only after procurement of each permit, license, or other authorization that may be required by any governmental agency having jurisdiction, and the applicable Developer Affiliate shall be responsible for the procurement and maintenance thereof, as may be required of the Developer Affiliate and all entities engaged in work on the Property.
Entry by the City.
Each Developer Affiliate shall permit the City, through its officers, agents, or employees, to enter the Property at all reasonable times upon reasonable notice to inspect the work of construction of the Project to determine that such work is in conformity with the Approved Construction Documents or to inspect the Property for compliance with this Agreement. The City is under no obligation to: (a) supervise construction, (b) inspect the Property, or (c) inform the Developer of information obtained by the City during any inspection, except that the City shall inform the Developer of any information it obtains or discovers during inspection that could reasonably foreseeably affect rights or obligations of a Party under this Agreement. The Developer Affiliate shall not rely upon the City for any supervision or inspection. The rights granted to the City pursuant to this section are in addition to any rights of entry and inspection the City may have in exercising its municipal regulatory authority.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING REQUIREMENTS
Affordable Housing Obligations.
The redevelopment of the Property is subject to the requirement under the Renewed Hope Settlement Agreement, the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance and the Density Bonus Regulations as further set forth below:
(a) Renewed Hope Settlement Agreement. Under the Renewed Hope Settlement Agreement twenty-five percent (25%) of all newly constructed housing units at Alameda Point must be made permanently Affordable as follows: (1) ten percent (10%) of all Residential Units shall be made permanently Affordable to Very Low Income Households and Low Income Household (households with incomes at or below 80% of median income); and (2) the remaining fifteen (15%) of all Residential Units shall be made permanently Affordable to Very Low Income Households, Low Income Households and Moderate Income Households under the criteria set forth in Health and Safety Code Section 33413(b)(2). Developer has provided to the City a letter from Renewed Hope stating that the New Residential Units meet the requirements of the Renewed Hope Settlement Agreement with respect to the Main Street Neighborhood Plan.
(b) Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. Under AMC 30-16-4 at least fifteen percent (15%) of the total units in the Project must be “inclusionary units” restricted for occupancy by Very Low Income Households, Low Income Households and Moderate Households Income Households. Specifically, the Inclusionary Ordinance requires that: (1) four percent (4%) of the units be restricted to occupancy by Very Low Income Households; (2) four percent (4%) of the units must be restricted to occupancy by Low Income Households; and (3) seven percent (7%) of the units must be restricted to occupancy by Moderate Income Households. For purposes of the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, the project is defined as the entirety of the Main Street Neighborhood Plan and the Affordable Housing Units will satisfy the Inclusionary Housing obligation of the market rate units developed within the Main Street Neighborhood Plan Area. The Project will satisfy the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance requirements for units restricted to occupancy by Very Low Income Households and Low Income Households but the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance requirements for units restricted to Moderate Income Households will be satisfied by the developers of the adjacent properties to be developed with market rate uses.
(c) Density Bonus Regulations. The City and the Developer expect that the Market Rate Developer will complete and submit to the City an application for a development plan for the South of West Midway Area that includes a Density Bonus Application under the City’s Density Bonus Regulations, which development plan will supersede and replace the RESHAP Development Plan. In consideration for the waiver, if granted, Developer is expected to agree to make at least ten percent (10%) of the total units in the Project affordable to Moderate Income Households.
Project Affordable Housing Requirements.
The Project will include a mix of transitional housing and permanent rental housing units restricted to households with gross incomes not to exceed between 30% and 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI).
Eligibility for the Alameda Point Collaborative and Building Futures With Women and Children units at the Project will be restricted to households who initially meet the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s definition of Homelessness as defined in the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act. Eligibility for Operation Dignity units will be restricted to formerly homeless and/or currently homeless veterans, and users of other homeless or transitional housing programs currently administered at the Dignity Commons housing site.
To ensure that all Affordable Housing Units constructed as part of the Project are permanently available to and occupied by income eligible households at an Affordable Housing Cost in compliance with this Agreement, the applicable Developer Affiliate hereby agrees to execute and record in the public records with the Alameda County Recorder (the “Official Records”): (1) a City Regulatory Agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit K restricting Very Low Income Homes and the Low Income Homes at the time of conveyance of any Phase of the Transfer Property to the applicable Developer Affiliate. The City Regulatory Agreement shall be recorded against title to the applicable Phase subject only to such liens, encumbrances and other exceptions to title approved in writing and in advance by the City. The parties agree to meet and confer if the priority lien position of the City Regulatory Agreement interferes with the Developer’s ability to obtain commercially reasonable debt financing. The applicable Developer Affiliate must demonstrate to the City's reasonable satisfaction that subordination of the City Regulatory Agreement is necessary to secure adequate construction and/or permanent financing to ensure the viability of the Phase. To satisfy this requirement, the applicable Developer Affiliate must provide to the City, in addition to any other information reasonably required by the City, evidence demonstrating that the proposed amount of the senior debt is necessary to provide adequate construction and/or permanent financing to ensure the viability of the Phase and adequate financing for the Phase would not be available without the proposed subordination.
This City Regulatory Agreement required under this Section 6.2 shall satisfy the requirement for: (1) an “affordable housing agreement” ensuring the continuing affordability of housing pursuant to the Density Bonus Regulations as specified in AMC 30-17; and (2) an “affordable housing plan” ensuring the continuing affordability of housing constructed pursuant to the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance as specified AMC 30-16-10.
Consistency with Palmer and Non-Applicability of Costa Hawkins.
The Developer has or will submit an application for density bonus pursuant to the City’s Density Bonus Regulations.
The Parties understand and agree that the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act (California Civil Code sections 1954.50 et seq.; the "Costa-Hawkins Act") does not and in no way shall limit or otherwise affect the restriction of rental charges for the Affordable Housing Units developed pursuant to this Agreement and subject to the City Regulatory Agreement. This Agreement falls within an express exception to the Costa-Hawkins Act because the Agreement is a contract with a public entity in consideration for a direct financial contribution and other forms of assistance specified in Chapter 4.3 (commencing with Section 65915) of Division 1 of Title 7 of the California Government Code. Accordingly, Developer, on behalf of itself and all of its successors and assigns, including all affiliates, successor and assigns, agrees not to challenge, and expressly waives, now and forever, any and all rights to challenge, Developer's obligations set forth in this Agreement related to Affordable Housing Units, under the Costa-Hawkins Act, as the same may be amended or supplanted from time to time. Developer shall include the following language, in substantially the following form, in all agreements it enters into with Affiliates, successor or assigns transferring any obligations under this Agreement or any portion of the Property:
"The Disposition and Development Agreement by and between the City of Alameda and Developer, dated ______________ and recorded _____________, at ____________ implements City of Alameda policies and includes regulatory concessions, incentives and significant public investment in the Project. These public contributions result in identifiable, financially sufficient and actual cost reductions for the benefit of Developer and any successors and assigns, as contemplated by California Government Code Section 65915. In light of the City's authority under Government Code Section 53395.3 and in consideration of the direct financial contribution and other forms of public assistance described above, the Parties understand and agree that the Costa-Hawkins Act does not and shall not apply to the Affordable Housing Units as defined in the Disposition and Development Agreement developed at the Property."
The Parties understand and agree that the City would not be willing to enter into this Agreement, without the agreement and waivers as set forth in this Section 6.3.
ADDITIONAL DEVELOPER OBLIGATIONS

The Developer Affiliate’s obligation to comply with the TDM Compliance Strategy shall include, but not be limited to, participating in the Transportation Management Association. The Developer agrees to cooperate with the City in forming and shall vote in favor of, a special tax district or financing district for any portion of the Property transferred to such Developer established for the purposes of complying with the TDM Plan and as part of the TDM Compliance Strategy as long as the annual tax lien for any such special tax district or financing district does not exceed at the time of formation twenty cents ($.20) per square foot of commercial space annually and ninety dollars ($90) per residential units annually. The Developer shall assure that if any portion of this Agreement is assigned to a Developer Affiliate and any portion of the Property is conveyed to a Developer Affiliate, the assignment documents will require that the Developer Affiliate vote in favor of the special tax district or financing district.
Release of Existing Leases and Relocation of Residents.
Each of the Collaborating Partners shall be obligated to release its Existing Lease and relocate any residents residing on the premises covered by such Existing Lease within the time frame set forth in the Milestone Schedule of Performance. Within the time set forth in the Milestone Schedule each of the Collaborating Partners shall provide the City with evidence that the County of Alameda has consented to the release of the Existing Leases. Following approval by the City of the Phasing Plan, and within the time set forth in the Milestone Schedule, each Collaborating Partner shall execute and deposit with Escrow a Release Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit Q attached hereto, Encumbrance Releases in a form acceptable to the City from all holders of encumbrances on the property subject to the Existing Lease and escrow instructions signed by the City and the Collaborating Partner setting forth the instructions to Escrow Holder for recordation of the Release Agreement and the Encumbrance Releases, which date shall be consistent with the Milestone Schedule of Performance and the Phasing Plan.
Each of the Collaborating Partners shall submit or cause the Developer Affiliate in which the Collaborating Partner is a member to submit to the City a plan for relocation of the occupants of the property subject to that Collaborating Partner's Existing Lease that includes (i) proposed timing for the relocation of the occupants of the property; (ii) proposed temporary replacement housing for the occupants of the property; (iii) a budget for the costs of the temporary relocation as well as proposed financing for the temporary relocation; and (iv) a community outreach plan for the affected tenants.

Alameda Point Collaborative currently holds the Existing Leases on Buildings 92, 101, 613 and 607 which are used for commercial purposes. Alameda Point Collaborative shall be obligated to release its Existing Lease of Building 92 and Building 101 within ____ days of City's written request and deliver the Buildings to the City free of all tenancies, provided, however, if the City requests the release of the Existing Leases for Buildings 92 or 101 before the expiration of any subleases that Alameda Point Collaborative has entered into, the City and Alameda Point Collaborative shall work cooperatively to find alternative locations for the subtenants or make other arrangements for the subtenants. Alameda Point Collaborative shall release the Existing Leases for Buildings 613 and 607 to coincide with the release of Alameda Point Collaborative' s Existing Leases on its residential property. Notwithstanding anything set forth above, the City shall not be responsible for any relocation benefits to which any subtenants of the commercials buildings may have under State or federal law and Alameda Point Collaborative shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City and its officers, its elected and appointed officials, board members, commissioners, employees, attorneys, agents and successor and assigns against all third party suits, actions, claims, causes of action, costs, demands, judgments and liens arising out of Alameda Point Collaborative' s performance or non-performance under this Agreement, including but not limited to, any relocation obligations to the tenants or occupants of the commercial buildings.

CITY OBLIGATIONS
Entitlements.
The City shall, upon payment of all applicable fees by the Developer or a Developer Affiliate required by the Development Agreement, process the applications for the Supplemental Approvals for the Project in a timely fashion, and shall cooperate with the Developer or the Developer Affiliate in obtaining any approvals necessary from other governmental entities or public utilities provided, however, the City shall not be required to incur any additional costs other than those cost associated with processing of applications and permits within the City's standard processing procedures unless Developer or the applicable Developer Affiliate agrees to reimburse the City of any costs associated with expedited processing.
Permits and Approvals.
City Assistance. The City shall provide reasonable cooperation to the MidPen in processing MidPen's applications for City permits and approvals, and all other permits, approvals, and "will serve" letters necessary for construction of the Project.
City Retains Discretion. The Developer acknowledges and agrees that execution of this Agreement by the City, and the City's approvals obtained pursuant to this Agreement are with regard to this Agreement only and do not constitute approval by the City in its typical regulatory or administrative capacity of any required permits, applications, allocations or maps, are not a substitute for the City's typical application, allocation, mapping, permitting, or approval process, and in no way limits the discretion of the City in the permit, applications, allocation, mapping or approval process. In addition to complying with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Developer must comply with the City's and other government entities' regulatory and administrative processes.
Backbone Infrastructure.
As a condition precedent to the conveyance of any Phase of the Property, the City shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be completed the Backbone Infrastructure in accordance with the MIP and the Main Street Neighborhood Plan. The City intends to release a Request for Qualifications for developers of the adjacent portions of the Main Street Neighborhood Plan which will include requirements to construct the Backbone Infrastructure. The City shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to release the Request for Proposals, select a developer or developers, negotiate a disposition and development agreement with the selected developer or developers and require the completion of the Backbone Infrastructure within the times set forth in the Milestone Schedule. The Developer agrees to cooperate with the City's efforts to obtain completion of the Backbone Infrastructure including potentially releasing its interest in certain of the Existing Leases prior to conveyance of a Phase of the Property in order to accommodate the development of the Backbone Infrastructure. The City shall perform its usual inspections prior to acceptance of the Backbone Infrastructure.
Estoppel Certificate of Completion.
Within ninety (90) days after receipt by the Developer Affiliate from the City of certificates of occupancy evidencing that: (a) building occupancy has been granted for all Residential Units for a Phase and/or (b) final building shell approval has been granted for all portions of a building containing any portion of the Commercial Space, the City shall issue a certificate of completion for such building or improvements with respect to the Developer Affiliate's construction obligations pursuant to Article 5 of this Agreement with respect that particular Phase (an "Estoppel Certificate of Completion") in a form recordable in the Official Records of the County.
Except as set forth in the following paragraph, an Estoppel Certificate of Completion shall constitute a conclusive determination that the covenants in this Agreement with respect to the obligations of Developer Affiliate to construct the applicable Phase have been met with regards to the Phase of the Project for which such estoppel certificate is being issued. Such certification shall not be deemed a notice of completion under the California Civil Code, nor shall it constitute evidence of compliance with or satisfaction of any obligation of the Developer Affiliate to any holder of deed of trust securing money loaned to finance the Project or any portion thereof.
An Estoppel Certificate of Completion shall not constitute a conclusive determination of the satisfaction of the requirements of Section 7.3 with respect to payment of prevailing wages (if applicable) and related matters (since such determination is within the jurisdiction of the DIR and the California judicial system and not the City), and the applicable obligations of the Developer or Developer Affiliate to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in this Agreement shall expressly survive issuance of an Estoppel Certificate of Completion.
City Representations.
The City acknowledges that the execution of this Agreement by the Developer is made in material reliance by the Developer on each and every one of the representations and warranties made by the City in this Section 8.5.
Authority. The City has all requisite right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the documents and transactions contemplated herein and to carry out the obligations of this Agreement and the documents and transactions contemplated herein. The City has taken all necessary or appropriate actions, steps and company and other proceedings to approve or authorize, validly and effectively, the entering into, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. This Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the City, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms. The representations and warranties of the City in the preceding sentence of this Section 8.5 are subject to and qualified by the effect of: (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally; and (b) the fact that equitable remedies, including rights of specific performance and injunction, may only be granted in the discretion of a court.
No Actions. As of the Effective Date only, there is no pending or threatened suit, action, arbitration, or other legal, administrative, or governmental proceeding or investigation that affects the Property or that adversely affects the City's ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
Commitments to Third Parties. Except as (i) disclosed in the Preliminary Title Report and (ii) set forth in EDC Agreement and the Renewed Hope Settlement Agreement, the City has not made any commitment, agreement or representation to any government authority, or any adjoining or surrounding property owner or any other third party, that would in any way be binding on the Developer or would interfere with the Developer's ability to develop and improve the Property into the Project.
Hazardous Materials. To the best of the City's knowledge and except as disclosed herein, the City has received no written notice from any government authority regarding any, and, to the best of the City's knowledge, there are no, violations with respect to any law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, or administrative or judicial order or holding (each, a "Law"), whether or not appearing in any public records, with respect to the Property, which violations remain uncured as of the date hereof or on the Closing Date, or releases of Hazardous Materials that have occurred during the City's possession of the Property, excluding Incidental Migration. The City has not assumed by contract or law any liability, including any obligation for corrective action or to conduct remedial actions, of any other Person relating to Hazardous Materials. .
ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSFERS
Definition of Transfer.
As used in this Article 9, the term "Transfer" means:
Any total or partial sale, assignment or conveyance, or any trust or power, or any transfer in any other mode or form, of this Agreement or of the Property and/or the Project or any part thereof or any interest therein (including, without limitation, any Phase) or of the improvements constructed thereon, or any contract or agreement to do any of the same which is not subject to an Estoppel Certificate of Compliance; or
Any total or partial sale, assignment or conveyance, or any trust or power, or any transfer in any other mode or form, of or with respect to any Controlling Interest (defined below) in MidPen, any of the Collaborating Partners or any Developer Affiliate, or any contract or agreement to do any of the same. As used herein, the term "Controlling Interest" means (1) the ownership (direct or indirect) by one Person of more than twenty (20%) of the profits, capital, or equity interest of another Person; or (2) the power to direct the affairs or management of another person, whether by contract, other governing documents or operation of Law or otherwise, and Controlled and Controlling have correlative meanings. Common Control means that two persons are both Controlled by the same other person.
Purpose of Restrictions on Transfer.
This Agreement is entered into solely for the purpose of development and operation of the Project on the Property and subsequent use in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The qualifications and identity of the Collaborating Partners and MidPen are of particular concern to the City, in view of:
The importance of the redevelopment, use, operation and maintenance of the Project to the general welfare of the community.
The fact that a change in ownership or control of the owner of the Property, or any other act resulting in a change in ownership of the parties in control of any of the Collaborating Partners or MidPen, is for practical purposes a transfer or disposition of the Property and the Project.
Restrictions on transfer are necessary in order to assure the achievement of the goals, objectives and public benefits of this Agreement. Developer agrees to and accepts the restrictions set forth in this Article 9 as reasonable and as a material inducement to City to enter into this Agreement. It is because of the qualifications and identity of the Developer that the City is entering into this Agreement with the Developer and that Transfers are permitted only as provided in this Agreement.
Prohibited Transfers.
The limitations on Transfers set forth in this Article 9 shall apply with respect to any portion of the Property until issuance by the City of an Estoppel Certificate of Completion for such portion of the Property. Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, the Developer represents and agrees that the Developer has not made or created, and will not make or create or suffer to be made or created, any Transfer, either voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior approval of the City pursuant to Section 9.5. Any Transfer made in contravention of this Section 9.3 shall be void and shall be deemed to be a default under this Agreement, whether or not the Developer knew of or participated in such Transfer.
Permitted Transfers.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.3, the following Transfers shall be permitted (subject to satisfaction of all applicable conditions to such Transfer):
Any Transfer creating a Security Financing Interest consistent with the Financing Plan, or Phase Update , as applicable, approved by the City pursuant to Section 3.2 (as demonstrated to the City's reasonable satisfaction), or otherwise consistent with the provisions of Section 10.1 and 10.2.
Any Transfer directly resulting from the foreclosure of a Security Financing Interest or the granting of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of a Security Financing Interest and if the Permitted Mortgagee is the immediate Transferee pursuant to such foreclosure or deed in lieu, the Permitted Mortgagee's initial Transfer of any portion of the Property to a subsequent Transferee.
Any Transfer consisting of the rental or subletting of a Residential Unit in the normal course of the Developer Affiliate's business operations.
Any Transfer due solely to the death or incapacity of an individual.
Any Transfer to a Developer Affiliate, provided however, any subsequent Transfer by the Developer Affiliate to any other entity other than another Developer Affiliate shall be subject to the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Article 9.
After Closing, the transfer by the limited partner of a Developer Affiliate of the limited partner's partnership interest to an affiliate of the limited partner provided that either the initial limited partner remains obligated to fund its equity contribution pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, or the affiliate assumes the obligations to fund the equity contribution, in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement (if at the time of the proposed Transfer no equity contribution remains unpaid, then consent shall not be required for the Transfer of the limited partnership interest);
The removal of a general partner of a Developer Affiliate pursuant to the partnership agreement of the Developer Affiliate and the replacement of such general partner with an affiliate of the limited partner, provided that the admission of a non-affiliate of limited partner shall require the reasonable consent of the City;
Any Transfer of a utility, public right of way, maintenance or access easement reasonably necessary for the development of the Project (each a "Development Easement").
Other Transfers In City's Sole Discretion.
Any Transfer not permitted pursuant to an express provision of Section 9.4 shall be subject to prior written consent by the City in accordance with this Section 9.5, which the City may grant or deny in its sole discretion. In connection with such a proposed Transfer, MidPen, the applicable Collaborating Partner or the applicable Developer Affiliate shall first submit to the City information regarding such proposed Transfer, including the proposed documents to effectuate the Transfer, a description of the type of the Transfer, and such other information as would assist the City in considering the proposed Transfer, including where applicable, the proposed transferee's financial strength and the proposed transferee's experience, capacity and expertise with respect to the development, operation and management of affordable housing developments similar to the Project (or applicable portion thereof). The City shall approve or disapprove the proposed Transfer, in its sole discretion, within ninety (90) days of the receipt from MidPen, the applicable Collaborating Partner or the applicable Developer Affiliate all of the information specified above including backup documentation and supplemental information reasonably requested by the City. The City shall specify in writing the basis for any disapproval. If the City should fail to act within such ninety (90) day period the Party requesting the Transfer shall provide the City with written notice of such failure to act which notice shall state in 14-point bold type on the cover page of the notice and on the envelope containing the notice the following:
FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS NOTICE WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF THE DATE OF THE NOTICE WILL RESULT IN THE CITY WAIVING ITS RIGHTS TO OBJECT TO THE TRANSFER PROPOSED IN THIS NOTICE.
If the City fails to respond to the Party requesting the Transfer's notice containing the above language within ten (10) business days of the date of the notice and such notice is delivered to the address and in the manner set forth in Section 15.1 below, the proposed Transfer shall be deemed approved.
Effectuation of Permitted or Otherwise Approved Transfers.
Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the intended effectiveness of a Transfer described in this Article 9 (other than permitted transfers under Section 9.4), the Party requesting the Transfer shall deliver to the City a notice of the date of effectiveness of the intended Transfer, a description of the intended Transfer, and such information about the intended Transfer and the transferee as is necessary to enable the City to determine that the intended Transfer meets the standards for a Transfer under this Article 9.
Within five (5) Business Days after the completion of any Transfer permitted pursuant to this Article 9, the Party requesting the Transfer shall provide the City with notice of such Transfer.
No Transfer shall be permitted unless, at the time of the Transfer, the person or entity to which such Transfer is made, by an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the City Attorney and in form recordable among the land records of the County, expressly agrees to perform and observe, from and after the date of the Transfer, the obligations, terms and conditions of the Developer under this Agreement and any ancillary agreements entered into by the Developer pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the portion(s) of the Property and the Project being transferred; provided, however, that no such transferee shall be liable for the failure of its predecessor to perform any such obligation prior to transfer. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the holder of a Security Financing Interest whose interest in the Property is acquired by, through or under a Security Financing Interest or is derived immediately from any holder thereof shall not be required to give to the City such written agreement until such holder or other person is in possession of the Property, or applicable portion thereof, or entitled to possession thereof pursuant to enforcement of the Security Financing Interest.
With the regard to all permitted or otherwise approved Transfers in accordance with this Article 9, the City shall provide, within fifteen (15) days of request, a written estoppel to the Developer stating either that Developer has performed any and all obligations required through the date of such Transfer, or, if such is not the case, stating with specificity the obligation(s) which the Developer has failed to perform through the date of such Transfer. In the absence of specific written agreement by the City (which the City may grant or withhold in its sole discretion), no Transfer permitted by this Agreement or approved by the City shall be deemed to relieve the transferor from any obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, no transferee permitted pursuant to Section 9.4 or approved pursuant to Section 9.5 shall be liable for any Developer Event of Default caused by Developer or any other transferee under this Agreement.
SECURITY FINANCING AND RIGHTS OF HOLDERS
Security Financing Interests; Permitted and Prohibited Encumbrances.
Mortgages, deeds of trust, and other real property security instruments are permitted to be placed upon the Property only as authorized by this Section 10.1. Any security instrument and related interest approved pursuant to Section 10.1(c) is referred to as a "Security Financing Interest." Until the applicable Developer Affiliate is entitled to issuance of an Estoppel Certificate of Completion for a particular portion of the Property, the Developer Affiliate may place mortgages, deeds of trust, or other reasonable methods of security on such portion of the Property only for the purpose of securing any approved Security Financing Interest financing the construction of the Vertical Improvements on the applicable portion of the Property.
Following the time the applicable Developer Affiliate is entitled to issuance of an Estoppel Certificate of Completion for a particular portion of the Property, the Developer Affiliate may place any mortgages, deeds of trust, and other real property security interest it desires on that portion of the Property subject to the City Regulatory Agreement.
Any mortgage, deed of trust or other real property security interest securing a loan set forth in any approved Project Financing Plan or Phase Update (or any approved amendment to such plan or update) shall be deemed an approved Security Financing Interest pursuant to this Article 10. The holder of a Security Financing Interest is referred to herein as a "Permitted Mortgagee."
Permitted Mortgagee Not Obligated to Construct.
No Permitted Mortgagee is obligated by, or to perform, any of the Developer Affiliate's obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, to construct or complete any improvements or to guarantee such construction or completion; nor shall any covenant or any other provision in conveyances from the City to the Developer Affiliate evidencing the realty comprising the Property or any part thereof be construed so to obligate such Permitted Mortgagee. However, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to permit or authorize any Permitted Mortgagee to devote the Property or any portion thereof to any uses, or to construct any improvements thereon, other than those uses or improvements provided for or authorized by this Agreement.
Notice of Default and Right to Cure.
Whenever the City, pursuant to its rights set forth in Article 14, delivers any notice or demand to the Developer Affiliate with respect to the commencement, completion, or cessation of the construction of the Project, the City shall at the same time deliver to each Permitted Mortgagee a copy of such notice or demand. Each such Permitted Mortgagee shall (insofar as the rights of the City are concerned) have the right, but not the obligation, at its option, within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the notice, to cure or remedy or commence to cure or remedy any such default or breach affecting the applicable portion of the Project and to add the cost thereof to the security interest debt and the lien on its security interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to permit or authorize any Permitted Mortgagee to undertake or continue the construction or completion of the applicable portion of the Project (beyond the extent necessary to conserve or protect such improvements or construction already made) without first having expressly assumed in writing the Developer's obligations to the City relating to the applicable portion of the Project under this Agreement. The Permitted Mortgagee in that event must agree to complete the applicable portion of the Project, in the manner provided in this Agreement. Any Permitted Mortgagee properly completing the applicable portion of the Project pursuant to this Section 10.3 shall assume all applicable rights and obligations of Developer Affiliate under this Agreement and shall be entitled, upon written request made to the City, to an Estoppel Certificate of Completion for the Project or the applicable Phase or Sub-Phase from the City.
Failure of a Permitted Mortgagee to Complete the Project.
In any case where six (6) months after default by the Developer Affiliate in completion of construction of the Project under this Agreement, the applicable Permitted Mortgagee, having first exercised its option to construct, has not proceeded diligently with construction, the City shall be afforded those rights against such Permitted Mortgagee it would otherwise have against the Developer Affiliate under this Agreement.
Right of City to Cure.
In the event of a default or breach by the Developer Affiliate of a Security Financing Interest prior to the completion of the Project, and if the Permitted Mortgagee has not exercised its option to complete the Project or applicable Phase, upon five (5) Business Days' prior written notice to the Developer Affiliate and the Permitted Mortgagee, the City may, in its sole discretion (but with no obligation to do so) cure the default, prior to the completion of any foreclosure. In such event the City shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Developer Affiliate of all costs and expenses incurred by the City in curing the default. The City shall also be entitled to a lien upon the Project thereof to the extent of such costs and disbursements. The City agrees that such lien shall be subordinate to any Security Financing Interest, and the City shall execute from time to time any and all documentation reasonably requested by the holder to effect such subordination.
Right of City to Satisfy Other Liens.
After the Developer Affiliate has had a reasonable time (but not less than twenty (20) days) to challenge, cure, or satisfy any liens or encumbrances on any portion of the Property conveyed to the Developer Affiliate thereof, and has failed to do so, in whole or in part, the City may in its sole discretion (but with no obligation to do so), upon five (5) Business Days' prior written notice to the Developer Affiliate, satisfy any such lien or encumbrances. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Developer Affiliate to pay or make provision for the payment of any tax, assessment, lien or charge so long as the Developer Affiliate in good faith shall contest the validity or amount therein and so long as such delay in payment shall not subject the Property or any portion thereof to forfeiture or sale.
Permitted Mortgagee to be Notified.
Each Developer Affiliate shall insert each term contained in this Article 10 into each Security Financing Interest or shall procure acknowledgement of such terms by each prospective Permitted Mortgagee of a Security Financing Interest prior to its coming into any security right or interest in the Property or portion thereof.
Modifications.
If any actual or potential Permitted Mortgagee should, as a condition of providing financing for development of all or a portion of the Project, request any modification of this Agreement in order to protect its interests in the Project or this Agreement, the City shall consider such request in good faith consistent with the purpose and intent of this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement.
Miscellaneous Provisions.
Limitation on Liability. In the event that any Permitted Mortgagee assumes the obligations of a Developer Affiliate under this Agreement, such Permitted Mortgagee shall only be liable or bound by the Developer Affiliate's obligations hereunder for such period as the Permitted Mortgagee is in possession and/or control of the portion of the Property in which the Permitted Mortgagee has acquired its interest and, furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, shall only be liable to the extent of its interest (whether fee or leasehold) in the portion of the Property and the improvements thereon.
Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Developer Event of Default shall occur which, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, entitles the City to terminate this Agreement and/or to exercise its rights under Section 14.5 or 14.6, the City shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement or to exercise its rights under Section 14.5 of 14.6 unless (i) the City has provided the Permitted Mortgagee with notice of default pursuant to Section 10.3 and (ii) within the applicable cure period set forth in Section 10.3, such Permitted Mortgagee shall fail to either:
Cure (Monetary). Cure the Developer Event of Default if the same consists of the nonperformance by the Developer of any covenant or condition of this Agreement requiring the payment of money by Developer to the City; and
Cure (Non-Monetary). If the Developer Event of Default is not of the type described in clause (1) above, either, in such Permitted Mortgagee's sole discretion, (x) cure such Developer Event of Default, if the same is capable of being cured within the applicable cure period, or (y) commence, or cause any trustee under the Permitted Mortgage to commence, and thereafter diligently pursue to completion, steps and proceedings to foreclose on the applicable portion of the Property pursuant to judicial foreclosure, non-judicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu process ("Foreclosure"); provided that except as extended by clause (3) below, such Foreclosure shall be completed within a maximum of eighteen (18) months following the commencement of such proceeding. Any Developer Event of Default which does not involve a covenant or condition of this Agreement requiring the payment of money by the Developer to the City shall be deemed cured if any Permitted Mortgagee shall diligently pursue to completion Foreclosure and shall, upon acquiring title to all or any portion of the Property, thereafter undertake its obligations (if any) with respect such portion of the Property pursuant to Section 10.3.
Inability to Foreclose. If a Permitted Mortgagee is prohibited from commencing or prosecuting a Foreclosure by any process or injunction issued by any court or by reason of any action by any court having jurisdiction of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving the Developer (other than any such process, injunction or court action occurring in response to any negligence or misfeasance of Permitted Mortgagee), the times specified in Section 10.9(b)(2) above, for commencing or prosecuting a Foreclosure or other proceedings shall be extended for the period of the prohibition; provided that the Permitted Mortgagee shall have fully cured any Developer Event of Default required by Section 10.9(b)(1) above and shall continue to perform and/or cure all such obligations as and when the same fall due.
Failure of Permitted Mortgagee to Complete Improvements. Upon the date upon which all cure periods of the Developer have expired following a Developer Event of Default related to the Completion of construction of any improvements on the Property under this Agreement, and the notice required by Section 10.3 to a Permitted Mortgagee was properly given, and such Permitted Mortgagee has not cured or commenced to cure as required by Section 10.9(b), the City may, at its option, upon thirty (30) calendar days' written notice to the Developer and such Permitted Mortgagee either: (a) purchase the Permitted Mortgage by payment to the Permitted Mortgagee of all amounts thereunder, including all unpaid principal, interest, late fees and all other advances and amounts secured by the Permitted Mortgage; or (b) exercise its rights under Section 14.5 or 14.6 with respect to the applicable portions of the Property.
Amendment; Termination. No amendment or modification to this Agreement may impair or materially alter a Permitted Mortgagee's rights hereunder, or increase a Permitted Mortgagee's obligations hereunder (whether ongoing or contingent obligations) without the consent of such Permitted Mortgagee, provided that such Permitted Mortgagee has agreed that its consent will not be unreasonably withheld. The Developer shall not terminate this Agreement as to any portion of the Property which is subject to any Security Financing Interest without first obtaining the prior written consent of all Permitted Mortgagees whose Permitted Mortgages encumber that portion of the Property.
Condemnation or Insurance Proceeds. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the rights of any Permitted Mortgagee, pursuant to its Security Financing Interest, to receive condemnation or insurance proceeds which are otherwise payable to such Permitted Mortgagee or to a Party which is its mortgagor shall not be impaired.
Loss Payable Endorsement to Insurance Policy. The City agrees that the name of the senior-most Permitted Mortgagee may be added as the primary loss payee to the "loss payable endorsement" attached to any and all insurance policies required to be carried by Developer under this Agreement.
Constructive Notice and Acceptance. Until such time as an Estoppel Certificate of Compliance is recorded with respect to any portion of the Property, all of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall be binding upon and benefit any Person who acquires fee title to or a leasehold interest in such portion of the Property.
Bankruptcy Affecting the Developer. The Developer and City hereby agree that this Agreement (including the rights under Section 14.5 and 14.6 contained herein), and each Quitclaim Deed shall contain and consist of covenants running with the land and that neither this Agreement, nor any Quitclaim Deed shall be subject to rejection in bankruptcy and Developer hereby waives its rights to reject this Agreement and/or any Quitclaim Deed in bankruptcy. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Developer, as debtor in possession, or a trustee in bankruptcy for the Developer seeks to and does reject this Agreement, or any Quitclaim Deed in connection with any proceeding involving the Developer under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar state or federal statute for the relief of debtors (a "Bankruptcy Proceeding"), then without waiver of any right of the City to challenge such rejection, the Developer and the City hereby agree for the benefit of the City and each and every Permitted Mortgagee that such rejection shall, subject to such Permitted Mortgagee's acceptance, be deemed the Developer's assignment of the Agreement or Quitclaim Deed, as applicable, and the portions of the Property corresponding thereto to the Developer's Permitted Mortgagee(s) in the nature of an assignment in lieu of foreclosure. Upon such deemed assignment, this Agreement shall not terminate and each Permitted Mortgagee shall, become the Developer hereunder as if the Bankruptcy Proceeding had not occurred, unless such Permitted Mortgagee(s) shall reject such deemed assignment by written notice to the City within fifteen (15) calendar days after receiving notice of the Developer's rejection of this Agreement in a Bankruptcy Proceeding.
New Agreement and Ground Lease with Permitted Mortgagee.
Request by Senior Permitted Mortgagee. In the event of termination of this Agreement for any reason (including by reason of any Developer Event of Default or by reason of the disaffirmance thereof by the Developer, as a debtor-in-possession, or by a receiver, liquidator or trustee for Developer or its property), the City, if requested by the then-most senior Permitted Mortgagee (or by the next most senior Permitted Mortgagee if Permitted Mortgagees with more senior priority do not so request) will enter into a new disposition and development agreement with the Permitted Mortgagee, provided that such party is the then-owner of the Property, upon the same terms, provisions, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and commencing as of the date of termination of this Agreement (collectively, the "New Agreement"), subject to the following:
Request for New Agreement. Such Permitted Mortgagee or requesting party shall have provided written notice to the City requesting the New Agreement within thirty (30) calendar days after the date of termination of this Agreement;
Payment of Due and Unpaid Sums. Such Permitted Mortgagee or requesting party shall pay to the City at the time of the execution and delivery of the New Agreement those sums specified in Section 10.9(b) which would, at the time of the execution and delivery thereof be due and unpaid pursuant to this Agreement but for its termination, and in addition thereto any reasonable attorneys' fees and experts' fees and court costs and court expenses (including attorney's and expert's fees) to which the City shall have been subjected by reason of the Developer Event of Default; and
Perform and Observe All Covenants. Such Permitted Mortgagee or requesting party shall, subject to the provisions of this Article, be subject to and shall perform and observe all covenants in this Agreement to be performed and observed by a Permitted Mortgagee, and failure to do so shall, after notice and opportunity to cure as provided by this Agreement, be a Developer Event of Default under this Agreement.
Request by the City. In the event of termination of this Agreement for any reason (including by reason of any Developer Event of Default by Developer or by reason of the disaffirmance thereof by the Developer, as a debtor-in-possession, or by a receiver, liquidator or trustee for Developer or its property) the then-most senior Permitted Mortgagee, if requested by the City, and provided that such party is the then-owner of the Property, will enter into a new Agreement with the City upon the same terms, provisions, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and commencing as of the date of termination of this Agreement ("New Agreement"), subject to the following:
Response to Request for New Agreement. The City shall have provided written notice to such Permitted Mortgagee requesting the New Agreement within thirty (30) calendar days after the date of termination of this Agreement, with a copy to each other Permitted Mortgagee; and
Perform and Observe All Covenants. The Permitted Mortgagee shall, subject to the provisions of Section 10.9(a) and (b), perform and observe all covenants in this Agreement to be performed and observed by a Permitted Mortgagee and failure to do so shall, after notice and opportunity to cure, be a Developer Event of Default under this Agreement.
Priority of New Agreement. Any New Agreement shall be prior to any Security Financing Interest or other lien, charge, or encumbrance on the Property in favor of such Security Financing Interest and each Security Financing Interest shall execute such additional consents and/or subordination agreements as may reasonably requested by the City or the new Developer to evidence the priority of the New Agreement to all Security Financing Interests, whether recorded prior or subsequent to execution of the New Agreement.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Obligations Regarding Hazardous Materials.
(a) Existing Property Environmental Conditions. Effective as of the applicable Phase Closing Date and (i) solely with respect to such Phase and (ii) with respect to Hazardous Materials that existed on the applicable Phase of the Property prior to the Phase Closing Date ("Existing Phase Environmental Conditions") affecting such Phase: as between the applicable Developer Affiliate and the City, the Developer Affiliate shall comply with any recorded covenants related to the Existing Phase Environmental Conditions, comply with the Site Management Plan and, as between the City and the Developer Affiliate, the Developer Affiliate shall be responsible for addressing any additional remediation required at a formerly closed site by any regulatory agency due to reevaluation in accordance with applicable law by any regulatory agency of the applied remediation strategy or any change in law or regulation related to the remediation standards, including any change in remediation standards or risk screening levels ("Regulatory Reopener"). If the Developer Affiliate effectuates a Transfer permitted pursuant to Article 9 in the manner required by Article 9, then the transferring Developer Affiliate shall have no further obligation pursuant to this Section 11.1 with respect to the portion of the Property Transferred.
(b) New Releases. Effective as of the applicable Phase Closing Date and (i) solely with respect to such Phase and (ii) with respect to releases of Hazardous Material at the Phase caused by the Developer Parties, which releases first occur after the applicable Phase Closing Date, excluding Incidental Migration of Hazardous Materials that existed as of the applicable Phase Closing Date ("New Releases"): as between the applicable Developer Affiliate and the City, the Developer Affiliate shall keep and maintain any portion of the Transfer Property conveyed to the Developer Affiliate in compliance with, and shall not cause or permit the Transfer Property to be in violation of, any federal, state or local laws, ordinances or regulations relating to industrial hygiene or to the environmental conditions in, on, under or emanating from the Transfer Property including, but not limited to, soil and ground water conditions. The Developer Affiliate shall not use, generate, manufacture, store or dispose of in, on, or under any portion of the Property conveyed, leased or licensed to the Developer Affiliate, or transport to or from such Property or the development any Hazardous Materials, except such of the foregoing as may be customarily kept and used in and about the construction and operation of residential developments or in accordance with law or this Agreement. The Developer Affiliate shall be responsible for complying with the requirements of the Site Management Plan(s) related to the Property after conveyance of the Property or any portion thereof to the Developer Affiliate.

Developer's Hazardous Materials Indemnification.
The Developer shall indemnify, defend (with counsel chosen by the City and reasonably acceptable to the Developer), and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties as set forth in more detail in Section 12.2.
INDEMNIFICATION
General Indemnification.
The Developer shall indemnify, defend (with counsel chosen by City and reasonably acceptable to the Developer), and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties against all third party suits, actions, claims, causes of action, costs, demands, judgments and liens arising out of the Developer's or the Contractors' performance or non-performance under this Agreement, including but not limited to, any relocation obligations to the tenants of the Existing Structures under State or federal law, or arising in connection with entry onto, ownership of, occupancy in, or construction on the Property by the Developer, the Contractors, any Licensee, or the tenants. This defense, hold harmless and indemnity obligation shall not extend to any claim arising solely from the applicable Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct. If the Developer effectuates a Transfer permitted pursuant to Article 9 in the manner required by Article 9, then the transferring Developer shall have no obligation to indemnify claims arising out of actions or a failure to act that occurs after the effectiveness of the Transfer. The Developer's obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless under this Section 12.1 shall survive termination of this Agreement, and shall be interpreted broadly so as to apply to any legal or administrative proceeding, arbitration, or enforcement action. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, provisions of this Section 12.1 shall not apply to matters arising out of or related to Hazardous Materials, which are addressed in Section 12.2 below.
Hazardous Materials Indemnification.
The Developer shall indemnify, defend (with counsel chosen by City and reasonably acceptable to the Developer), and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against all third party suits, actions, claims, causes of action, costs, demands, judgments, liens, damage, cost, expense or liability the City may incur directly or indirectly arising out of or attributable to any New Release, including without limitation: (1) the costs of any required or necessary repair, cleanup or detoxification of the Property or the Project, and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial or other required plans and (2) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the City in connection with clause (1), including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees. The defense, hold harmless and indemnity obligations contained in this Section 12.2 shall not extend to any claim arising solely from the applicable Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Developer's obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless under this Section 12.2 shall survive termination of this Agreement, and shall be interpreted broadly so as to apply to any legal or administrative proceeding, arbitration, or enforcement action. If the Developer effectuates a Transfer permitted pursuant to Article 9 in the manner required by Article 9, then the transferring Developer shall have no obligation to indemnify claims arising out of actions or a failure to act that occurs after the effectiveness of the Transfer. If the Developer effectuates a partial Transfer permitted pursuant to Article 9 in the manner required by Article 9, the transferee shall have no obligation to indemnify claims arising out of actions or a failure to act that occurs as a result of the Developer's action with respect to any portion of the Property not transferred to the transferee.
No Limitations Based Upon Insurance.
The indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligations of the Developer under this Article 12 and elsewhere in this Agreement (sometimes collectively, the "Indemnification Obligations") shall not be limited by the amounts or types of insurance (or the deductibles or self-insured retention amounts of such insurance) which the Developer is required to carry under this Agreement. In claims against any of the Indemnified Parties by an employee of the Developer, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by the Developer or anyone for whose acts the Developer may be liable, the Indemnification Obligations shall not be limited by amounts or types of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for the Developer or anyone directly or indirectly employed by the Developer or anyone for whose acts the Developer may be liable.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude or prevent the Developer from seeking and applying proceeds from claims made under the Pollution Liability Insurance Policy toward costs of remediation of Hazardous Materials provided, however, that the Developer shall be solely responsible for the payment of any deductible and other costs in connection with procuring such proceeds.
(d) Developer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to renew the Pollution Liability Insurance Policy for one additional ten (10) year term prior to expiration of the Pollution Liability Insurance Policy.
General Insurance Requirements.
With the exceptions of the Pollution Liability Insurance Policy, the insurance required by this Article 13 shall be provided under an occurrence form, and the Developer shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) such coverage continuously throughout the Term of this Agreement (except for the General Contractor's insurance requirement set forth in Section 13.6, which shall be maintained until the Developer Affiliate is entitled to issuance of an Estoppel Certificate of Completion for the applicable Phase and the Pollution Liability Insurance Policy, which shall be maintained as specified in Section 13.7). Should any of the required insurance be provided under a form of coverage that includes an annual aggregate limit or provides that claims investigation or legal defense costs be included in such annual aggregate limit, such annual aggregate limit shall be two and one-half (2.5) the occurrence limits specified above.

Alternative Insurance Compliance.
During such time that a Permitted Mortgagee imposes insurance requirements that are inconsistent with the requirements set forth in Article 13, the Developer may satisfy the insurance requirements of this Article 13, other than the Pollution Liability Insurance Policy by meeting the requirements of such Permitted Mortgagee; provided that Developer shall provide at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the City specifying: (x) the nature of the inconsistency; (y) a statement that there is no commercially reasonable way for the Developer to comply with both the City's and investor's insurance requirement; and (z) the alternative insurance requirement the Developer intends to comply with.

No Fault of Parties.
Bases For No Fault Termination. The following events constitute a basis for a Party to terminate this Agreement without the fault of the other: if despite the responsible Party's good faith and diligent efforts, a condition precedent set forth in Section 4.3 is not satisfied or, when applicable, waived by the benefitting Party, prior to the date for such satisfaction/waiver (as such date may be extended pursuant to this Agreement), unless such failure is caused by the default of a Party, in which case Section 14.3 or 14.4 shall apply.

(1) The Parties shall meet and confer in good faith for a period not to exceed sixty (60) calendar days in an effort to agree upon a mutually acceptable amendment to this Agreement to address the failed condition which amendment may include designating either MidPen or a different Collaborating Partner to assume the obligations to acquire or develop a particular Phase; and
(2) If the parties fail to reach agreement pursuant to Section 14.2(b)(1) or if MidPen or a different Collaborating Partner fail to assume the obligations to acquire or develop the particular Phase of the Project at issue, at the election of either Party, this Agreement may be terminated with respect to all Phases not previously conveyed to a Developer Affiliate by written notice to the other Party.
Upon a termination pursuant to this Section 14.2, any costs incurred by a Party in connection with this Agreement and the Project shall be completely borne by such Party and neither Party shall have any rights against or liability to the other, except with respect to: (1) any payments made by the Developer to the City prior to the termination pursuant to Article 2 shall remain the property of the City; (2) any funds remaining in Escrow pursuant to Article 4 shall be returned to Developer, (3) the delivery of plans and documents as set forth in Section 14.7; and (4) the survival of certain terms of this Agreement as provided in Section 14.8.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the City and the Developer are in good faith disputing whether the City has caused a breach or failure of performance of this Agreement, then the City shall not be deemed to have caused such breach or failure of performance until the City has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have caused a breach or failure under this Agreement. If the City does not cure within the applicable cure period set forth above, then the event shall constitute a City Event of Default, and the Developer shall be entitled to the following rights and remedies:
Prior to Phase 1 Closing. With respect to a City Event of Default occurring prior to the Phase 1 Closing, the Developer shall be entitled to: (A) terminate in writing this entire Agreement; or (B) seek specific performance of this Agreement against the City.

A Developer Affiliate fails to construct the Project in the manner set forth in Article 5 by the applicable Major Milestone Schedule deadlines (as the same may be extended pursuant to this Agreement) or a Developer Affiliate fails to meet a Progress Milestone Date and as a result it would be impossible for the Developer Affiliate to meet a subsequent Major Milestone Date.
A Collaborating Partner fails to deliver a Release Agreement or release the Existing Leases within the time and as required pursuant to this Agreement or a Collaborating Partner violates the terms of any Release Agreement.

A Collaborating Partner or MidPen shall have voluntarily suspended its business, or the Collaborating Partner or MidPen shall have been dissolved or terminated.
Notice and Cure; Remedies. Upon the happening of any event described in Section 14.4(a), the City shall first notify the Developer in writing of its purported breach or failure. The Developer shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice to cure such breach or failure; provided, however, that if such breach or failure cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period and the Developer has commenced the cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter is diligently working in good faith to complete such cure, provided however, in any event the breach or failure must be cured within one hundred twenty (120) days. Notwithstanding the above cure period, a default described in paragraph (9) (10) or (11) of Section 14.4(a) shall constitute a Developer Event of Default immediately upon its occurrence without need for notice and without opportunity to cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the City and the Developer are in good faith disputing whether the Developer has caused a breach or failure of performance of this Agreement, then the Developer shall not be deemed to have caused such breach or failure of performance until the Developer has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have caused a breach or failure under this Agreement.

The City shall approve or disapprove any such replacement for MidPen in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.5. Any proposal to replace MidPen shall also include information on how the replacement entity will cure the Developer Event of Default.
If the Developer Event of Default is caused by a Collaborating Partner, during the cure period set forth above, any other Collaborating Partner or MidPen can offer to assume the defaulting Collaborating Partner's rights and responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement. If a Collaborating Partner or MidPen assume the defaulting Collaborating Partners rights and responsibilities under this Agreement, the City shall accept such assumption as a cure for the Developer Event of Default if (i) the assuming Collaborating Partner or MidPen cure the existing default caused by the defaulting Collaborating Partner and (ii) the defaulting Collaborating Partner assigns its Existing Leases to MidPen or the assuming Collaborating Partner.
Prior to Phase I Closing Date. With respect to a Developer Event of Default occurring prior to the Phase 1 Closing Date, the City shall be entitled to (A) terminate in writing this entire Agreement and (B) exercise the rights and remedies described in Section 14.7. The above remedies shall constitute the exclusive remedies of the City for a Developer Event of Default occurring prior to the Closing on the first Phase of the Property.

With respect to a Developer Event of Default occurring after the Phase 1 Closing Date but prior to the issuance of an Estoppel Certificate of Completion for the Final Phase, the City shall be entitled to: (A) terminate in writing this Agreement with respect to those portions of the Property that have not been conveyed to a Developer Affiliate if such Developer Event of Default is the result of any failure of conditions or obligations required to be met for the conveyance of Phases of the Property; (B) seek specific performance of any Vertical Improvement Completion Assurance if such Developer of Event of Default is the result of a default of the provisions of Article 5; (C) exercise the rights and remedies described in Sections 14.5, 14.6 and 14.7; and/or (D) exercise any other remedy against the Developer permitted by law or under the terms of this Agreement.

Right of Reverter/Power of Termination.
If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 14.4(b)(2) following the Closing on any portion of the Property and prior to the time when the applicable Developer Affiliate is entitled to issuance of an Estoppel Certificate of Completion for the final Phase of the Project, then the City may, in addition to other rights granted in this Agreement, re-enter and take possession of any portion of the Property conveyed to the Developer Affiliate not subject to (i) an Estoppel Certificate of Completion or (ii) a current building permit for Vertical Improvements that are subject to a Vertical Improvement Completion Assurance ("Revested Parcel") with all improvements on the Revested Parcel, and revest in the City the estate previously conveyed to the Developer Affiliate by the City with respect to the Revested Parcel. The City's rights under this Section 14.5 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect once the Developer is entitled to an Estoppel Certificate of Completion for the final Phase of the Project.
Such right of reverter shall be subordinate and subject to and be limited by and shall not defeat, render invalid, or limit:
Any Security Financing Instrument with respect to the Revested Parcel; or
Any rights or interests provided in this Agreement for the protection of the holder of a Security Financing Interest with respect to the Revested Parcel, provided that the holder has elected to complete the Project in a manner provided in this Agreement.
Upon revesting in the City of title to the Revested Parcel as provided in this Section 14.5, the City shall, in a commercially reasonable manner resell the Revested Parcel to a qualified and responsible party or parties (as determined by the City) who will assume the obligation of making or completing the Project on the Revested Parcel or such other improvements acceptable to the City. Upon such resale of the Revested Parcel, the proceeds thereof shall be applied as follows:
First to reimburse the City for all costs and expenses incurred by the City, including but not limited to salaries of personnel and legal fees incurred in connection with the recapture, management, and resale of the Revested Parcel (but less any income derived by the City from any part of the Revested Parcel in connection with such management); all taxes, installments of assessments payable prior to resale, and water and sewer charges with respect to the Revested Parcel (or, in the event the Revested Parcel is exempt from taxation or assessment or such charges during the period of ownership by the City, an amount equal to the taxes, assessments, or charges that would have been payable if the Revested Parcel was not so exempt); any payments made or necessary to be made to discharge any encumbrances or liens existing on the Revested Parcel at the time of revesting of title in the City or to discharge or prevent from attaching or being made any subsequent encumbrances or liens due to obligations, defaults, or acts of the Developer Affiliate, its successors or transferees; expenditures made or obligations incurred with respect to the making or completion of the improvements on the Revested Parcel or any part thereof; and any amounts otherwise owing the City by the Developer Affiliate and its successors or transferee.
Second, to reimburse the Developer Affiliate, its successor or transferee, up to the amount equal to any payments made by the Developer Affiliate to the City pursuant to Article 2, plus the fair market value of the improvements the Developer Affiliate has placed on or for the benefit of the Revested Parcel, less any gains or income withdrawn or made by the Developer Affiliate from the Revested Parcel or the improvements thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount calculated pursuant to this paragraph (2) shall not exceed the fair market value of the Revested Parcel together with the improvements thereon as of the date of the Developer Event of Default which gave rise to the City's exercise of the right of reverter.
Any balance remaining after such reimbursements shall be retained by the City as its property.
The rights established in this Section 14.5 are to be interpreted in light of the fact that the City will convey the Property to the Developer Affiliate for development and not for speculation.
Option to Repurchase, Reenter and Repossess.
The City shall have the additional right at its option to repurchase, reenter, and take possession of the Property not subject to (i) an Estoppel Certificate of Completion or (ii) a current building permit for Vertical Improvements that are subject to a Vertical Improvement Completion Assurance with all improvements thereon, if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 14.4(b)(2) after the Phase 1 Closing Date and prior to the time when the applicable Developer Affiliate is entitled to issuance of an Estoppel Certificate of Completion for the final Phase of the Project. The City's rights under this Section 14.6 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect once the Developer is entitled to an Estoppel Certificate of Completion for the final Phase of the Project.
Such right to repurchase, reenter, and repossess, to the extent provided in this Agreement, shall be subordinate and subject to and be limited by and shall not defeat, render invalid, or limit any Security Financing Instrument with respect to the Property; or any rights or interests provided in this Agreement for the protection of the holder of a Security Financing Interest with respect to the Property, provided that the Permitted Mortgagee has elected to complete the Project in a manner provided in this Agreement.
To exercise its right to repurchase, reenter and take possession with respect to the Property not subject to (i) an Estoppel Certificate of Completion or (ii) a current building permit for Vertical Improvements that are subject to a Vertical Improvement Completion Assurance, the City shall pay to the applicable Developer Affiliate in cash an amount equal to any payments made by the Developer Affiliate to the City in cash pursuant to Sections 2.2 of this Agreement, plus the lesser of the (1) actual cost and (2) the fair market value of the improvements constructed on the Property subject to the Option by the Developer Affiliate at the time of the repurchase, reentry, and repossession, less any gains or income withdrawn or made by the Developer Affiliate from the portion of the Property subject to the Option, less the amount of any liens or encumbrances on the portion of the Property subject to the Option which the City assumes or takes subject to, less any damages to which the City is entitled under this Agreement by reason of the Developer Event of Default.
Plans, Data and Approvals.
If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 14.2(a)(1) or Section 14.4, then the Developer or the Developer Affiliate shall promptly deliver to the City copies of all plans and specifications for the Project (subject to being released by any architects or engineers possessing intellectual property rights), all permits and approvals obtained in connection with the Project, and all applications for permits and approvals not yet obtained but needed in connection with the Project.
Survival.
Upon termination of this Agreement under this Article 14, those provisions of this Agreement that recite that they survive termination of this Agreement shall remain in effect and be binding upon the Parties notwithstanding such termination.
Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
Except as otherwise provided, the rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative, and the exercise or failure to exercise any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise, at the same time or different times, of any right or remedy for the same default or any other default.
