On June 2, 1999, the City Council of City ( "City Council ") commenced a duly noticed public hearing on this Agreement, and at the conclusion of the hearing approved the Agreement by Ordinance No. 259 ( "the Enabling Ordinance "). 2. Property Subject To This Agreement. All of the Property shall be subject to this Agreement. The Property may also be referred to hereinafter as "the site" or "the Project area ". 3. Binding Effect. The burdens of this Agreement are binding upon, and the benefits of the Agreement inure to, each Party and each successive successor in interest thereto and constitute covenants that run with the Property. Whenever the terms "City" and "Developer" are used herein, such terms shall include every successive successor in interest thereto. 3.1. Constructive Notice and Acceptance. Every person who acquires any right, title or interest in or to any portion of the Property in which the Developer has a legal interest is, and shall be, conclusively deemed to have consented and agreed to be bound by this Agreement, whether or not any reference to the Agreement is contained in the instrument by which such person acquired such right, title or interest. 3.2.

Failure to provide a written assumption agreement hereunder shall not negate, modify or otherwise affect the liability of the purchaser or transferee pursuant to this Agreement.

The permitted and conditionally permitted uses of the Property shall be limited to those that are allowed by the Project Approvals and this Agreement. 4.2. Development Standards. All design and development standards, including but not limited to density or intensity of use and maximum height and size of buildings, that shall be applicable to the Property are set forth in the Project Approvals and this Agreement. 4.3. Building Standards.

Reservations and Dedications. All reservations and dedications of land for public purposes that are applicable to the Property are set forth in the Project Approvals and this Agreement. Ordinance No. 259 Page 9 5. Vesting of Development Rights. 5.1. Timing of Development. In Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo, 37 Cal.3d 465 (1984), the California Supreme Court held that the failure of the parties therein to provide for the timing or rate of development resulted in a later- adopted initiative restricting the rate of development to prevail against the parties' agreement. City and Developer intend to avoid the result in Pardee by acknowledging and providing that Developer shall have the right, without obligation, to develop the Property in such order and at such rate and times as Developer deems appropriate within the exercise of its subjective business judgment. In furtherance of the Parties' intent, as set forth in this section, no future amendment of any existing City ordinance or resolution, or future adoption of any ordinance, resolution or other action, that purports to limit the rate or timing of development over time or alter the sequencing of development phases, whether adopted or imposed by the City Council or through the initiative or referendum process, shall apply to the Property. In particular, but without limiting any of the foregoing, no numerical restriction shall be placed on the number of dwellings units that can be built each year within the Project Area. However, nothing in this section shall be construed to limit City's right to insure that Developer timely provides all infrastructure required by the Project Approvals and this Agreement. 5.2. Amendment of Project Approvals. No amendment of any of the Project Approvals, whether adopted or approved by the City Council or through the initiative or referendum process, shall apply to any portion of the Property, unless the Developer has agreed in writing to the amendment. 5.3. Issuance of Subsequent Approvals. Applications for land use approvals, entitlements and permits, including without limitation subdivision maps, subdivision improvement agreements and other agreements relating to the Project, lot line adjustments, preliminary and final planned development permits, use permits, design review approvals (e.g. site plans, architectural plans and landscaping plans), encroachment permits, and sewer and water connections that are necessary to or desirable for the development of the Project (collectively "the Subsequent Approvals "; individually "a Subsequent Approval ") shall be consistent with the Ordinance No. 259 Page 10 Project Approvals and this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, Subsequent Approvals do not include a final subdivision map or building permits. The term of any Subsequent Approval, except a tentative map, shall be one year; provided that the term may be extended by the decision maker for two (2) additional one (1) year periods upon application of the Developer holding the Subsequent Approval filed with City's Department of Community Development prior to the expiration of that Approval. Each such Subsequent Approval shall be deemed inaugurated, and no extension shall be necessary, if a building permit was issued and the foundation received final inspection by City's Building Inspector prior to the expiration of that Approval. It is understood by City and Developer that certain Subsequent Approvals may not remain valid for the term of this Agreement. Accordingly, throughout the term of this Agreement, the Developer shall have the right, at its election, to apply for a new permit to replace a permit that has expired or is about to expire. Subsequent Approvals shall be governed by the Project Approvals and by the applicable provisions of the Moorpark General Plan, the Moorpark Municipal Code and other City ordinances, resolutions, rules, regulations, policies, standards and requirements as most recently adopted or approved by the City Council or through the initiative or referendum process and in effect at the time that the application for the Subsequent Approval is deemed complete by City (collectively "City Laws "), except City Laws that: (a) change any permitted or conditional permitted uses of the Property from what is allowed by the Project Approvals; (b) limit or reduce the density or intensity of the Project, or any part thereof, or otherwise require any reduction in the square footage or number of proposed buildings or other improvements from what is allowed by the Project Approvals; (c) limit or control the rate, timing, phasing or sequencing of the approval, development or construction of all or any part of the Project in any manner, provided that all infrastructure required by the Project Approvals to serve the Ordinance No. 259 Page 11 portion of the Property covered by the Subsequent Approval is in place or is scheduled to be in place prior to completion of construction; (d) are not uniformly applied on a City -wide basis to all substantially similar types of development projects or to all properties with similar land use designations; (e) control residential rents; or (f) modifies the land use from what is permitted by the General Plan Land Use Element at the date the Enabling Ordinance is adopted or that prohibits or restricts the establishment or expansion of urban services including but not limited to community sewer systems to the Project. 5.4. Modification Of Approvals. Throughout the term of this Agreement, the Developer shall have the right, at its election and without risk to any right that is vested in it pursuant to this section, to apply to City for minor modifications to Project Approvals and Subsequent Approvals. The approval or conditional approval of any such minor modification shall not require an amendment to this Agreement, provided that, in addition to any other findings that may be required in order to approve or conditionally approve the modification, a finding is made that the modification is consistent with this Agreement. 5.5. Issuance of Building Permits. No building permit, final inspection or certificate of occupancy will be unreasonably withheld from the Developer if all infrastructure required by Project Approvals to serve the portion of the Property covered by the building permit is in place or is scheduled to be in place prior to completion of construction and all of the other relevant provisions of the Project Approvals, Subsequent Approvals and this Agreement have been satisfied. In no event shall building permits be allocated on any annual numerical basis or on any arbitrary allocation basis. 5.6. Moratorium on Development. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent City, whether by the City Council or through the initiative or referendum process, from adopting or imposing a moratorium on the processing and issuance of Subsequent Approvals and building permits and on the finalizing of building permits by means of a final inspection or certificate of occupancy, provided that the moratorium is adopted or imposed (i) Ordinance No. 259 Page 12 on a City -wide basis to all substantially similar types of development projects and properties with similar land use designations and (ii) as a result of a utility shortage or a reasonably foreseeable utility shortage, including without limitation a shortage of water, sewer treatment capacity, electricity or natural gas. 6. Developer Agreements. 6.1. The Developer shall comply with (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Project Approvals, and (iii) all Subsequent Approvals for which it was the applicant or a successor in interest to the applicant. 6.2. All lands and interests in land dedicated to City shall be free and clear of liens and encumbrances other than easements or restrictions that do not preclude or interfere with use of the land or interest for its intended purpose, as reasonably determined by City. 6.3. As a condition of issuance of a building permit for each residential dwelling unit, Developer shall pay City a community services fee as described herein (Community Services Fee). The Community Services Fee may be expended by City in its sole and unfettered discretion. The amount of the Community Services Fee shall be Two Thousand, Eight Hundred Forty -Five Dollars ($2,845.00) per residential unit. The Community Services Fee shall be adjusted annually (commencing two (2) years after the first residential building permit is issued within the project) by any increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) until all fees have been paid. The CPI increase shall be determined by using the information provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all urban consumers within the Los Angeles /Riverside /Orange Co. metropolitan area during the prior year. The calculation shall be made using the month which is four (4) months prior to the month in which the Development Agreement is approved by the City Council (e.g., if approval occurs in June, then the month of February is used to calculate the increase). 6.4. The fee in lieu of park land dedication (Park Fee) pursuant to the requirements of City Ordinance No. 52 shall be paid prior to the issuance of the building permit for each residential unit. The fee shall be Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000.00) for each residential unit. The Park Fee may be expended by the City in its sole and unfettered discretion. On the effective date of this Agreement, the amount of the Park Fee shall be $3,000 per residential unit. Commencing January 1, Ordinance No. 259 Page 13 2001, and annually thereafter, the Park Fee shall be increased to reflect the change in the State Highway Bid Price Index for the twelve (12) month period that is reported in the latest issue of the Engineering News Record that is available on December 31 of the preceding year ( "annual indexing "). In the event there is a decrease in the referenced Index for any annual indexing, the Park Fee shall remain at its then current amount until such time as the next subsequent annual indexing which results in an increase. 6.5. As a condition of the issuance of a building permit for each residential unit, Developer shall pay City a development fee as described herein (the "Development Fee "). The Development Fee may be expended by City in its sole and unfettered discretion. On the operative date of this Agreement, the amount of the Development Fee shall be two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00). The fee shall be adjusted annually (commencing one (1) year after the first residential building permit is issued within the Project) by any increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) until all fees have been paid. The CPI increase shall be determined by using the information provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all urban consumers within the Los Angeles /Riverside /Orange Co. metropolitan area during the prior year. The calculation shall be made using the month which is four (4) months prior to the month in which the first residential building permit is issued by the City Council (e.g., if issuance occurs in June, then the month of February is used to calculate the increase) . 6.6. As a condition of the issuance of a building permit for each residential unit, Developer shall pay City a traffic mitigation fee as described herein ( "Citywide Traffic Fee "). The Citywide Traffic Fee may be expended by the City in its sole and unfettered discretion. On the effective date of this Agreement, the amount of the Citywide Traffic Fee shall be $3,000 per residential unit. Commencing January 1, 2001, and annually thereafter, the Citywide Traffic Fee shall be increased to reflect the change in the State Highway Bid Price Index for the twelve (12) month period that is reported in the latest issue of the Engineering News Record that is available on December 31 of the preceding year ( "annual indexing "). In the event there is a decrease in the referenced Index for any annual Ordinance No. 259 Page 14 indexing, the Citywide Traffic Fee shall remain at its then current amount until such time as the next subsequent annual indexing which results in an increase. 6.7. On the operative date of this Agreement Developer shall pay all outstanding City processing and environmental processing costs related to the project and preparation of this Agreement. 6.8. Developer hereby waives any right it may have under California Government Code Section 65915 et. Seq., or any successor thereto, or any provision of federal, State, or City laws or regulations for application or use of any density bonus that would increase the number of residential units approved for this project to exceed a total of Three Hundred Twelve (312) dwelling units. 6.9. Developer agrees to cast affirmative ballots for the formation of an assessment district with the power to levy assessments for the maintenance of parkway landscaping, street lighting, and if requested by the City Council, parks conferring special benefits, upon properties within the Project. 6.10 Developer, in consideration for a density bonus obtained through the Project Approvals that is greater than would otherwise be available, agrees to guarantee the affordability of sixty -two (62) rental units for the life of the Project. These sixty -two (62) affordable units shall be rented to eligible tenants as follows in A., B., and C.: A. Thirty -Seven (37) units for Lower Income households (800 or less of Ventura County median income) to be rented for no more than 300 of 80% of the Ventura County median income adjusted for household size appropriate to the unit and no more, less a utility allowance. The utility allowance shall be adjusted annually, commencing in the year 2000, based on the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The CPI increase shall be determined by using the information provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all urban consumers within the Los Angeles /Riverside /Orange Co. metropolitan area during the prior year. The calculation shall be made using the month which is four (4) months prior to the month in which the Development Agreement is approved by the City Council (e.g., if approval occurs in June, Ordinance No. 259 Page 15 then the month of February is used to calculate the increase). If there is a decrease in the CPI, the utility allowance shall remain at the same amount until the next annual change in CPI results in an increase. Type of Unit one bedroom, one bath Number of Household Size Utility Units Adjustment Allowance two bedroom, one bath units two bedroom, two bath units 12 12 three bedroom, two bath units 5 2 persons $42 3 persons $50 3 persons $50 4 persons $63 The above Adjustment for Household Size is intended to provide a single rental rate applicable to eligible tenants for each type of unit and, therefore, is applied regardless of actual household size. The Developer may not charge additional rent based on a larger actual household size. [For example, the maximum monthly rent for a low income household of six renting a three bedroom, two bath unit would be calculated as follows: the Ventura County median income for a household of four x .80 x .30 divided by 12 less the utility allowance, $65,300 x .80 x .30 divided by 12 less $63.00 equals $1,243.001. Rather than calculating household income by using 800 of median income, the household income amount for lower income households shall be the amount published by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Household Income Limits for Ventura County (HUD Income Limits) or such successor information in the event the referenced published information is no longer available, but in no event less than seventy -three percent (73 %) nor more than eighty percent (80 %) of median income. If the HUD Income Limits household income amount is less than 73% of median income, it shall be set at 73% of median income, and if it is more than 80% of median income, it shall be set at 800 of median income. Ordinance No. 259 Page 16 B. Nineteen (19) units for Very Low Income households (50% or less of Ventura County median income) to be rented for no more than 300 of 50% of the Ventura County median income adjusted for household size appropriate to the unit and no more, less a utility allowance. The utility allowance shall be adjusted annually, commencing in the year 2000, based on the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) . The CPI increase shall be determined by using the information provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all urban consumers within the Los Angeles /Riverside /Orange Co. metropolitan area during the prior year. The calculation shall be made using the month which is four (4) months prior to the month in which the Development Agreement is approved by the City Council (e.g., if approval occurs in June, then the month of February is used to calculate the increase) . If there is a decrease in the CPI, the utility allowance shall remain at the same amount until the next annual change in CPI results in an increase. Type of Unit Number of Household Size Utility Units Adjustment Allowance two bedroom, one bath 6 3 persons $50 two bedroom, two bath units 9 3 persons $50 three bedroom, two bath units 4 4 persons $63 The above Adjustment for Household Size is intended to provide a single rental rate applicable to eligible tenants for each type of unit and, therefore, is applied regardless of actual household size. The Developer may not charge additional rent based on a larger actual household size. [For example, the maximum rent for a very low income single person renting a two bedroom, one bath unit would be calculated as follows: the Ventura County median income for a household of three x .50 x .30 divided by 12 less the utility allowance, $58,800 x .50 x .30 divided by 12 less $50.00 equals $685.001 Ordinance No. 259 Page 17 C. Six (6) units for Very Very Low Income households (33% or less of Ventura County median income) to be rented for no more than 300 of 33% of the Ventura County median income adjusted for household size appropriate to the unit and no more, less a utility allowance. The utility allowance shall be adjusted annually, commencing in the year 2000, based on the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) . The CPI increase shall be determined by using the information provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all urban consumers within the Los Angeles /Riverside /Orange Co. metropolitan area during the prior year. The calculation shall be made using the month which is four (4) months prior to the month in which the Development Agreement is approved by the City Council (e.g., if approval occurs in June, then the month of February is used to calculate the increase). If there is a decrease in the CPI, the utility allowance shall remain at the same amount until the next annual change in CPI results in an increase. Type of Unit Number of Household Size Utility Units Adjustment Allowance two bedroom, one bath units 4 3 persons $50 two bedroom, two bath units 1 3 persons $50 three bedroom, two bath units 1 4 persons $63 The above Adjustment for Household Size is intended to provide a single rental rate applicable to eligible tenants for each type of unit and, therefore, is applied regardless of actual household size. The Developer may not charge additional rent based on a larger actual household size. [For example, the maximum monthly rent for a very very low income household of four renting a two bedroom, two bath unit would be calculated as follows: the Ventura County median income for a household of three x .33 x. .30 divided by 12 less the utility allowance, $58,800 x .33 x .30 divided by 12 less $50.00 equals $435.00]. Ordinance No. 259 Page 18 The method of selecting eligible tenants, tenant eligibility requirements, the respective roles of the City and the Developer and any other items determined necessary by the City shall be set forth in an Affordable Housing Implementation and Rental Restriction Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan shall restrict the rents of the sixty -two (62) affordable units to the above not -to- exceed amounts and shall be consistent with this Agreement and approved by the City Council in its sole and unfettered discretion prior to the final inspection and occupancy approval for the first residential unit in the Project. The Developer and City shall, prior to the occupancy of the first residential unit for the Project, execute an Affordable Housing Agreement that incorporates the Plan in total and is consistent with this Agreement. Chapter 17.64 of the Moorpark Municipal Code shall not apply to this Project. Developer shall pay the City's direct costs for preparation and review of the Plan and the Affordable Housing Agreement, up to a maximum of five thousand dollars ($5,000). In addition, the Developer shall not convert the Project to for -sale condominiums community apartments, planned development, stock cooperative, or other common interest development without an amendment to the Plan authorizing such conversion which amendment will require the Developer to provide affordable ownership units as determined by the City under the terms of the amendment but in no event less than sixty -two (62) units in the same numbers by income level as provided in A., B., and C., above. 6.11. In addition to fees specifically mentioned in this Agreement, Developer agrees to pay all City capital improvement, development, and processing fees at the rate and amount in effect at the time the fee is required to be paid. Developer further agrees that unless specifically exempted by this Agreement, it is subject to all fees imposed by City at the operative date of this Agreement and such future fees imposed as determined by City in its sole discretion so long as said fee is imposed on similarly situated properties. Developer further agrees to not protest these fees as may be authorized by Section 66000, et. Seq. of the California Government Code or any other applicable state or federal law. Ordinance No. 259 Page 19 6.12 Developer shall construct Park Lane (Street Improvements) from its current terminus on its east side of approximately one hundred twenty (120) feet south of Los Angeles Avenue to the intersection with the new east /west street between Moorpark Avenue and Park Lane to be constructed as part of this project.

Developer's obligation to construct Street Improvements shall be contingent on City's acquisition of the real property necessary for said Street Improvements at no cost to Developer. City must obtain the necessary real property within twelve (12) months after the first residential building permit is issued for the Project. Upon written notification from City of its acquisition of the real property within the above referenced time period, Developer shall commence design and shall complete construction prior to obtaining occupancy approval for the last residential building in the Project.

Demonstration of Good Faith Compliance. In order to ascertain compliance by the Developer with the provisions of this Agreement, the Agreement shall be reviewed annually in Ordinance No. 259 Page 21 accordance with Moorpark Municipal Code chapter 15.40. of City or any successor thereof then in effect. The failure of City to conduct any such annual review shall not, in any manner, constitute a breach of this Agreement by City, diminish, impede, or abrogate the obligations of the Developer hereunder or render this Agreement invalid or void. 10. Authorized Delays. Performance by any Party of its obligations hereunder, other than payment of fees, shall be excused during any period of "Excusable Delay ", as hereinafter defined, provided that the Party claiming the delay gives notice of the delay to the other Parties as soon as possible after the same has been ascertained. For purposes hereof, Excusable Delay shall mean delay that directly affects, and is beyond the reasonable control of, the Party claiming the delay, including without limitation: (a) act of God; (b) civil commotion; (c) riot; (d) strike, picketing or other labor dispute; (e) shortage of materials or supplies; (e) damage to work in progress by reason of fire, flood, earthquake or other casualty; (f) failure, delay or inability of City to provide adequate levels of public services, facilities or infrastructure to the Property including, by way of example only, the lack of water to serve any portion of the Property due to drought; (g) delay caused by a restriction imposed or mandated by a governmental entity other than City; or (h) litigation brought by a third party attacking the validity of this Agreement, a Project Approval, a Subsequent Approval or any other action necessary for development of the Property. 11. Default Provisions. 11.1. Default by Developer. The Developer shall be deemed to have breached this Agreement if it: (a) practices, or attempts to practice, any fraud or deceit upon City; or (b) willfully violates any order, ruling or decision of any regulatory or judicial body having jurisdiction over the Property or the Project, provided that Developer may contest any such order, ruling or decision by appropriate proceedings conducted in good faith, in which event no breach of this Agreement shall be deemed to have occurred unless and until there is a final adjudication adverse to Developer; or (c) fails to make any payments required under this Agreement; or (d) materially breaches any of the other provisions of the Agreement and the same is not cured within the time set forth in a written notice of violation from City to Ordinance No. 259 Page 22 Developer, which period of time shall not be less than ten (10) days from the date that the notice is deemed received, provided if Developer cannot reasonably cure the breach within the time set forth in the notice, Developer fails to commence to cure the breach within such time limit and diligently effect such cure thereafter. 11.2. Default by City. City shall be deemed in breach of this Agreement if it: (a) materially breaches any of the provisions of the Agreement and the same is not cured within the time set forth in a written notice of violation from Developer to City, which period shall not be less than ten (10) days from the date the notice is deemed received, provided if City cannot reasonably cure the breach within the time set forth in the notice, City fails to commence to cure the breach within such time limit and diligently effect such cure thereafter. 11.3. Content of Notice of Violation. Every notice of violation shall state with specificity that it is given pursuant to this section of the Agreement, the nature of the alleged breach, and the manner in which the breach may be satisfactorily cured. The notice shall be deemed given on the date that it is personally delivered or on the third day following the day after it is deposited in the United States mail, in accordance with Section 20 hereof. 11.4. Remedies for Breach. The Parties acknowledge that remedies at law, including without limitation money damages, would be inadequate for breach of this Agreement by any Party due to the size, nature and scope of the Project. The Parties also acknowledge that it would not be feasible or possible to restore the Property to its natural condition once implementation of the Agreement has begun. Therefore, the Parties agree that the remedies for breach of the Agreement shall be limited to the remedies expressly set forth in this subsection. The remedies for breach of the Agreement by City shall be injunctive relief and /or specific performance. The remedies for breach of the Agreement by the Developer shall be injunctive relief and /or specific performance. In addition, and notwithstanding any other language of this Agreement, if the breach is of Subsection 6.9 or 6.10 of this Agreement, City shall have the right to withhold the issuance of building Ordinance No. 259 Page 23 permits from the date that the notice of violation was given pursuant to Subsection 11.3 hereof until the date that the breach is cured as provided in the notice of violation. Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to preclude City from prosecuting a criminal action against the Developer if it violates any City ordinance or state statute. 12. Mortgage Protection. At the same time that City gives notice to the Developer of a breach, City shall send a copy of the notice to each holder of record of any deed of trust on the portion of the Property in which Developer has a legal interest ( "Financier "), provided that the Financier has given prior written notice of its name and mailing address to City and the notice makes specific reference to this section. The copies shall be sent by United States mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, and shall be deemed received upon the third (3rd) day after deposit. Each Financier that has given prior notice to City pursuant to this section shall have the right, at its option and insofar as the rights of City are concerned, to cure any such breach within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of the notice from City. If such breach cannot be cured within such time period, the Financier shall have such additional period as may be reasonably required to cure the same, provided that the Financier gives notice to City of its intention to cure and commences the cure within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the notice from City and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. City shall not commence legal action against Developer by reason of Developer's breach without allowing the Financier to cure the same as specified herein. Notwithstanding any cure by Financier, this Agreement shall be binding and effective against the Financier if it takes title to the Property, and every owner of the Property, or part thereof, whose title thereto is acquired by foreclosure, trustee sale or otherwise. 13. Estoppel Certificate. At any time and from time to time, any Developer may deliver written notice to City and City may deliver written notice to the Developer requesting that such Party certify in writing that, to the knowledge of the certifying Party, (i) this Agreement is in full force and effect and a binding obligation of the Parties, (ii) this Agreement has not been amended, or if amended, the identity of each amendment, and (iii) the requesting Party is not in breach of this Agreement, or if in breach, a description of each such breach.

Administration of Agreement. Any decision by City staff concerning the interpretation and administration of this Agreement and development of the Property in accordance herewith may be appealed by the Developer to the City Council, provided that any such appeal shall be filed with the City Clerk of City within ten (10) days after the Developer receives notice of the staff decision. The City Council shall render its decision to affirm, reverse or modify the staff decision within thirty (30) days after the appeal was filed. The Developer shall not seek judicial review of any staff decision without first having exhausted its remedies pursuant to this section. 15. Amendment or Termination by Mutual Consent. In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 15.40 of the Moorpark Municipal Code or any successor thereof then in effect, this Agreement may be amended or terminated, in whole or in part by mutual consent of City and the Developer. 16. Indemnification.

This Agreement shall not be amended, except as expressly provided herein. 22. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision, whether or not similar; nor shall any such waiver constitute a continuing or subsequent waiver of the same provision.
