AGENDA REPORT
aY:
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: David C. Moe II, Redevelopment Manager L
DATE: November 18, 2009 (CC Meeting of 12/2/2009)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Revising Approval of Sale of Property Owned
by the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark, Located at
192 High Street, to Aszkenazy Development, Inc.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark ("Agency") acquired a 2.34 acre
site, located at 192 High Street ("Property"), from the Ventura County Transportation
Commission on August 8, 1993, at a cost of $393,451.34. An aerial of the Property is
attached as EXHIBIT A. This Property was part of a 4.77 acre purchase for
$800,000.00. Since the acquisition, the Property has been leased to a variety of
commercial tenants.
The Agency has negotiated a Disposition and Development Agreement with Aszkenazy
Development, Inc. ("Developer") to construct two, two-story, commercial buildings
totaling 71,656 square feet. The proposed project would be built in two phases under
separate Disposition and Development Agreements.
The first phase of the project would be sold under this Disposition and Development
Agreement and include the land from between the Metrolink parking lot and the east
boundary of the Maria's Restaurant lease site. The Developer would construct a 49,140
square foot building to include office and retail uses.
The second phase would include the property west of the first phase to the east edge of
the property currently leased to the Chamber of Commerce. The Developer proposes
to construct the 22,516 square foot building in the second phase, which would also
include office and retail uses.
The Agency will subdivide the Property into three parcels. Parcel one would be the
property leased by the Chamber of Commerce and is not included in this project.
Parcel two would be the second phase of this project, and parcel three would be the first
phase of the proposed development. Developer will have a two year option (from after
2

Page 2
commencement of construction for phase 1) to purchase parcel two at fair market price;
however, the Developer must have the building in phase 190% leased to bona fide third
parties in order to exercise the option.
The sale price of parcel three (phase 1) is reduced from $1,121,330.00 to $881,045.00
(approximately 20%) to reflect the current fair market value of the property. The sale
price is less than the previous Section 33433 Summary Reports dated October 30, 2008
due to the declining real estate market.
The Section 33433 Summary Report (EXHIBIT B) summarizes the Agency's cost
associated with the acquisition, holding and sale of the Property; states that the
Property is being sold for the fair market value; and describes how the sale of the
Property will assist with the elimination of blight and is consistent with the 2005-2009
Five Year Implementation Plan.
The City Council originally held a public hearing and approved the sale of Agency
owned property on December 5, 2007. The City Council held a subsequent public
hearing on March 19, 2008, to revise the sale price of the property from $1,123,414.00
to $920,854.00 to reflect the land value established by an appraisal conducted on
February 4, 2008 by DMD Appraisals, Inc.
At the request of the Developer, the Agency allowed a redesign of the proposed project.
The Developer now plans to utilize a larger parcel of land in the first phase than
proposed on March 19, 2008. This increased the sale price of the land and increased
the amount of the Agency's loan to the Developer. These changes require the City
Council to conduct another public hearing and approve the revised sale of the property.
On September 17, 2008, the City Council opened the public hearing to take public
comment on the proposed sale of Agency owned property and continued it open until
November 5, 2008. The City Council continued the public hearing open from November
5, 2008, to November 19, 2008. The City Council continued the public hearing open
from November 19, 2008, to December 3, 2008. At the December 3, 2008, City Council
Meeting, the public hearing was closed and this item was removed from calendar.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Agency would receive a cash payment of $224,683.00 at the close of escrow. The
Agency would make a loan for the balance of the purchase price to the Developer for
$656,362.00 for 10 years. Monthly interest only payments would be an estimated
$4,512.49 or $54,149.87 per year the loan is outstanding. Interest payments may be
deferred until phase I is 90% leased. The Agency would receive $656,362.00 upon
repayment of the loan. If the Developer makes interest only payments for the term of
3

the loan, the Agency would receive a total of $541,498.65 in interest payments. In
addition, the project is estimated to generate over $500,000.00 in net tax increment for
the Agency over the first ten years and create 50 new jobs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1) Open the public hearing, accept public testimony, and close the public hearing;
and
2) Adopt Resolution No. 2009 - revising the approval of the sale of Property
between the Agency and Developer, subject to Disposition and Development
Agreement approval by the Agency, and rescinding Resolution No. 2007-2661
and Resolution No. 2008-2692.

INFORMATION SUMMARY
FOR PROPOSED
DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH
ASZKENAZY DEVELOPMENT, INC., A CALIFORNIA CORPORATION
"33433 REPORT"
This summary was prepared for the Moorpark Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency's pursuant
to Section 33433 of the California Community Redevelopment Law (Part 1 of Division 24 of the
Health and Safety Code, the "CCRU) with respect to the Disposition and Development
Agreement (the "DDA'D between the Agency and Aszkenazy Development Inc., a California
Corporation (the "Developer'l. The DDA pertains to the development of a multi-tenant
commercial building of approximately 49,100 square feet of gross building area (the "Project'
on an approximately 80,095 square foot parcel (i.e., approximately 1.84 acres of land) located
near the southeast corner of Moorpark Avenue and High Street (the"Site'D within the Moorpark
Redevelopment Project Area. The DDA also provides the Developer a conditional two-year
purchase option on an adjacent parcel that could result in the development of a second project
phase for which the applicable purchase and sale terms would be determined based on the then
existing market conditions. Given these uncertainties, this 33433 Report pertains only to the
Project's initial phase. In addition, this report supersedes the 33433 Reports prepared by Urban
Futures, Inc. for the Project dated November 21, 2007, March 7, 2008, August 28, 2008 and
October 30, 2008.
1. Cost of Project to Agency:
The overall Project is not anticipated to produce a net cost to the Agency. On the
contrary, Urban Futures, Inc. projects that the Agency's overall net revenues, interest
earnings and land sale proceeds resulting from its property management, purchase
money financing and Site disposition, as contemplated in the DDA, are anticipated to be
approximately $902,526. This conclusion is based upon the following data:
a. Land Acquisition Cost: On August 17, 1993, the Agency acquired
approximately 4.7 acres of land (approximately 204,732 square feet)(the
"Acquisition Property's from the Ventura County Transportation Commission
("VCTC'� for $800,000. Agency records reflect that the Agency incurred
$39,140.93 of acquisition-related costs. Further, during 2007, the Agency
incurred $50,000 of additional costs to rectify certain property boundary
discrepancies with the VCTC with respect to adding approximately 14,000 square
feet of additional area to the Acquisition Property and incurred $11,600 of
additional costs for the preparation of a current environmental assessment of the
Site. As a result, the Acquisition Property currently consists of an area of
approximately 218,732 square feet or approximately 5.02 acres. Therefore, in
total, the Agency has incurred $900,740.93 of costs related to purchasing the
Crestview Corporate Center-3111 N.Tustin Street,Suite 230,Orange,CA 92865-1753
Tel:(714)283-9334 www.urbanruturesinc.com Fax:(714)283-5465

Page 2
Acquisition Property. The Site consists of approximately 37.7% of the Acquisition
Property. Therefore, on a prorated basis the Agency has incurred approximately
$339,579.33 (rounded to $339,600) of costs reasonably related to acquiring the
Site.
b. Clearance Costs: The proposed DDA obligates the Agency to demolish and
clear the structures currently located on the Site. Agency staff and its
construction experts have inspected the improvements on the Site and have
determined that the Agency requires approximate $313,000 to carryout this
work.
C. Relocation Costs: All of the current tenants on the Site have post acquisition
month-to-month rental agreements. As such, the tenants are not eligible for
relocation benefits. Notwithstanding this, one particular sub-tenant (i.e., Carlos
and Mayra Perez, DBA Maria's Family Restaurant [the "Maria's Restaurant"]) has
requested assistance from the Agency to remain as a tenant within the Project.
In addition, the Developer has indicated a desire to include Maria's Restaurant
within the Project. As a result, the Agency has committed to assist Maria's
Restaurant as may be required consistent with the Agency's Owner Participation
Rules. In addition, the level of such assistance is unknown as of the date of this
33433 Report. Therefore, for the purposes of this 33433 Report it is assumed
that any of the Agency's expenses with respect to assisting Maria's Restaurant
remain as a tenant within the Project will be characterized as economic
development expenses rather than relocation expenses. Notwithstanding the
manner in which the assistance to Maria's Restaurant is classified, it would be
received in a seamless fashion by the participant. Therefore and only for the
purposes of this analysis, it is assumed that the Agency will not incur any
relocation costs.
d. Improvement Costs: The Agency has not incurred any improvement
costs.
e. Finance Costs: None
f. Other Costs: None
g. Offsetting Revenue: The sum of the above costs (i.e., items "a"through
"F is $652,600, which represents the Agency's current total investment in the
Site. These costs are offset by the $1,555,126 in revenue, which represents the
sales price of the Site, the prorated rental income received by Agency during the
term of its ownership of the Acquisition Property and the interest income
anticipated to be earned from the Agency's purchase money loan to the
Developer over the next ten years.
With respect to the rental income, it has been projected that throughout the term
of the Agency's ownership of the Acquisition Property, the Agency received at
least $353,000 of rental income from this property. On a prorated basis (i.e.,
37.7%), $133,081 may be reasonably attributed to the Site.
Aszkenazy DDA 33433 Report v11-20-09 Final.2

It is also important to note that the DDA calls for approximately 74.5% of the
purchase price (i.e., $656,362) to be funded with an Agency purchase money 10-
year interest only subordinate loan (the "Agency Loan'J. The $224,683 balance
will be paid in cash at escrow closing. Agency staff and the Developer have
determined that a fair interest rate for the Agency Loan is 8.25%. By way of
comparison and as of the date of this report, the interest rate proposed for the
Agency Loan is 5.0% above the Prime Rate and 4.875% above the SBA 504
Program rate. Given these parameters, Urban Futures, Inc. concurs that the
interest rate proposed for the Agency Loan is fair and reasonable. Based on the
proposed rate, the Agency Loan will generate approximately $54,150 of interest
income per year for each year that it remains outstanding or $541,500 over its
full ten year term, if it remains outstanding for a full ten-year period.
The sum of the above noted sources is $1,555,126 (i.e., $881,045 + $133,081 +
$541,500 = $1,555,126). Therefore, Urban Futures, Inc. projects on a net basis
that the Agency's overall revenues, interest earnings and land sale proceeds
resulting from its property management, purchase money financing and Site
disposition, as contemplated in the DDA, are anticipated to be approximately
$902,526 (i.e., $1,555,126 - $652,600 = $902,526).
2. Estimated value of interest to be conveyed or leased, determined at highest
and best use permitted by the Redevelopment Plan:
In order to determine the estimated value of the interest to be conveyed, staff engaged
the services of Dale Donerkiel, SRPA, SRA and California Certified General Real Estate
Appraiser ("Appraiser') as an expert, third party real estate appraiser. On August 25,
2009, the Appraiser completed an updated real estate appraisal on an approximately
2.48-acre (approximately 108,080 square feet) portion of the Acquisition Property, from
which the Site will be created (the "Appraised Property'). The appraisal is on file with
the Agency. Based upon their value analysis, it is the Appraiser's opinion that the
estimated value of the Appraised Property at its highest and best use permitted by the
Redevelopment Plan equals a total of$1,189,000 or $11.00 on a square foot basis. It is
important to state that in determining this value, the Appraiser assumed that the Agency
would cause the improvements on the Site to be demolished; in other words, that the
Site was vacant. The Appraiser also assumed that the Site is free from environmental
contamination. With respect to this issue, Agency staff recently engaged the services of
an environmental engineer (i.e., AGI Geotechnical, Inc.) who has also confirmed that the
Site is free from environmental contamination. AGI Geotechnical, Inc. indicated that
they did not detect any substance that exceeded the detection limit threshold
established by the appropriately responsible government agency. Their findings are on
file with the Agency.
Therefore, by using the Appraiser's above noted per square foot value, the imputed
value of the Site is $881,045 (i.e., $11.00 x 80,095 sq. ft. _ $881,045). Pursuant to the
DDA, the Developer will purchase the Site for $881,045 which is equal to its full fair
market value.

3. Estimated value of the interest to be conveyed or leased, determined at the
use and with the conditions, covenants and development costs required by
the sale or lease:
Pursuant to the DDA, the Developer will purchase the Site for $881,045 which is equal to
its full fair market value.
4. The purchase price or sum of the lease payments which the lessor will be
required to pay during the term of the lease:
Pursuant to the DDA, the Developer will purchase the Site for $881,045 which is equal to
its full fair market value.
S. Explanation of the reason (if applicable) why the sales price or lease rate paid
to the Agency may be less than market value of the property as determined at
its highest and best use:
Not applicable. The sale price of the Agency parcels is at fair-market value.
6. Explanation of why the sale or lease of the property will assist in the
elimination of blight:
This DDA is part of a project designed in part to eliminate blight in the Moorpark
Redevelopment Project Area. The greater portion of the Site (i.e., the Acquisition
Property) has been used for non-operating railroad related purposes for many years in
the past. In recent times it has been used for multi-tenant small-scale commercial
purposes. The current improvements on the Site are both economically obsolete and
exhibit conditions of physical degradation. Pursuant to the DDA, the Agency is obligated
to remove the improvements which will eliminate the existing blighting conditions. The
proposed DDA will facilitate the development of a multi-tenant commercial building of
approximately 50,000 square feet of gross building area conservatively estimated by
Urban Futures, Inc. to provide approximately 50 employment opportunities (i.e.,
approximately one job per 1,000 square feet of gross building area). Therefore, the
Project will result in eliminating blight that exists in a portion of the Moorpark
Redevelopment Project Area, specifically on the Site, and will cause new economic
development activity, including job creation.
7. Economic benefits of the Project:
At a conservative value of $200 per square foot of finished building area, the completed
Project is anticipated to add approximately $8 million of assessed value to the
redevelopment project. Based on this additional assessed value estimate, it is
anticipated that the Project will generate approximately $80,000 of additional gross tax
increment (i.e., prior to tax sharing) revenue during its first taxable year. Utilizing a 2%
per year growth factor, over its first ten years it is anticipated that the Project will
generate approximately $876,000 of gross tax increment revenue. Inclusive of the Low-
to Moderate-Income Housing Fund, the Agency currently receives approximately 58% of
the gross tax increment revenue. With respect to the current illustration, the Project
could generate over $500,000 of net tax increment revenues to the Agency over its first
Aszkenazy DDA 33433 Report v11-20-09 Final.2

Page 5
ten years of operation. These additional tax increment revenues will assist the Agency
in removing blight within the Moorpark Redevelopment Area as well as promoting
economic development,job creation and affordable housing projects and programs.
Certification: I certify that this report complies with the reporting requirements of Section
33433 of the CCRL. Further, I do not have a present or perspective interest in the Site, the
Project or the parties to the DDA. My engagement to prepare this report was not contingent
upon developing or reporting predetermined results. The statements of fact contained herein
and the substance of this report are based on public records, data provided by the Agency,
reports provided by its consultants or as otherwise noted herein. This report reflects my
personal, unbiased professional analyses, opinions and conclusions. If any of the underlying
assumptions related to the DDA change after the date provided below, then the undersigned
reserves the professional privilege to modify the contents and/or conclusions of this report. In
addition, this report supersedes the 33433 Reports prepared by Urban Futures, Inc. for the
Project dated November 21, 2007, March 7, 2008, August 28, 2008 and October 30, 2008.

201. Purchase and Sale of Site. The Agency has fee title to the entire Site as

conditions of this Agreement, Agency shall sell the Site to Developer, and Developer
shall purchase the Site from Agency, for the purchase price of Eight Hundred Eighty
One Thousand and Forty Five dollars ($881,045.00) payable in legal tender of the
United States of America, unless provisions to the contrary are provided herein. The
Purchase Price has been established as the fair market value of the Site, based on the
appraised value of the Property (of which the Site is a part) in an unimproved condition,
as set forth in an independent MAI appraisal obtained by the Agency.
The Developer will give the Agency a down payment of Two Hundred Twenty Four
Thousand Six Hundred and Eighty Three dollars ($224,683.00). The Agency shall make
a loan to the Developer for the remainder of the Purchase Price ("Agency Loan"). The
terms and conditions of the Agency Loan are further described in Section 312.
Developer agrees that it shall not purchase the Site for speculation in undeveloped land.
Developer further agrees to resell the Site to the Agency at the Purchase Price plus any
interest paid by Developer under the Agency Loan Note if development does not
commence in accordance with the Schedule of Performance (Attachment 4), subject to
force majeure pursuant to Section 602.
Agency will subdivide, under governmental exemption from the California Subdivision
Map Act, the Property into three parcels. The Agency intends to lease Parcel 1 to the
Chamber of Commerce, which lease and use is not included in the Project. Parcel 3
(sometimes referred to as the "East Lot") is the Site to be purchased and developed
with the project, consisting of the portion of the Property from Bard Street to the north
Metrolink parking lot. The remaining Parcel 2 is between Parcel 1 and the Site. The
Agency will sell Parcel 2 to the Developer under a second Disposition and Development
Agreement after the Project has achieved Stabilization. If Stabilization has not occurred
within two years after commencement of construction of the Project, then the right
hereunder to acquire the Parcel 2 shall expire.
It is understood and agreed that the above-referenced Purchase Price for the Site is or
exceeds the "fair market price" for such parcels, as that term is used in California Labor
Code Section 1720(b)(3), based upon an appraisal completed by a state-certified
appraiser, and accordingly the Project is not subject to the prevailing wage laws
(California Labor Code Section 1720 et seq.) (the "Prevailing Wage Laws").
Notwithstanding the foregoing, should any portion of the Project be deemed to be
subject to the requirements of California Labor Code Section 1771 and related sections,
the Developer agrees to comply with the requirements therein.
The Developer, for itself and its contractors, hereby expressly agrees that the Agency
has satisfied its obligations under the Prevailing Wage Laws to identify projects as being
subject to the Prevailing Wage Laws and any other obligations imposed upon the
Agency under California Labor Code Sections 1726 and/or 1781 that are owed to or
may be actionable by the Developer and its contractors. The Developer, for itself and
its contractors, hereby expressly waives any right of action against the Agency created
7
under California Labor Code Sections 1726 and/or 1781, whether known or unknown,
foreseen or unforeseen relating to the Project and/or any public improvement.
Furthermore, the Developer agrees to defend and indemnify the Agency and the City,
and their respective agents, employees and assigns, against any and all claims, fines,
suits or penalties arising out of any failure of the Developer to comply with the
requirements of California Labor Code Section 1771 and related sections or out of the
failure by City or Agency to require compliance by the Developer with such sections,
including, without limitation, suits brought by subcontractors.
Real property taxes and assessments, if any, on the Site, and taxes upon this
Agreement or any rights hereunder levied, assessed, or imposed as to any period prior
to conveyance of title, shall be borne by Agency. All real property taxes and
assessments levied or imposed on the Site as to any period after the transfer of title
shall be paid by Developer.
202. Escrow. Within thirty (30) days after the full execution and delivery of this

portions of the premium for the Title Policy as set forth in Section 204 hereof, the
Agency shall pay for the documentary transfer taxes, if any, due with respect to the
conveyance of the Site, and Developer and Agency each agree to pay one-half of all
other usual fees, charges, and costs which arise from each Escrow.
202.2 Escrow Instructions. This Agreement constitutes the joint escrow
instructions of Developer and Agency, and the Escrow Agent to whom these
instructions are delivered is hereby empowered to act under this Agreement. The
parties hereto agree to do all acts reasonably necessary to close this Escrow in the
shortest possible time. Insurance policies for fire or casualty are not to be transferred,
and Agency will cancel coverage of the Site from its own policies upon sale. All funds
received in Escrow shall be deposited with other escrow funds in a general escrow
account(s) and may be transferred to any other such escrow trust account in any State
or National Bank doing business in the State of California. All disbursements shall be
made by check from such account. However, if Escrow does not close within two (2)
business days from deposit of the funds by the Agency and Developer, the funds shall
be deposited into an interest bearing account with such interest accruing to the benefit
of each party.
If in the opinion of either party it is necessary or convenient in order to accomplish the
Closing of this transaction, such party may require that the parties sign supplemental
escrow instructions; provided that if there is any inconsistency between this Agreement
and the supplemental escrow instructions, then the provisions of this Agreement shall
control. The parties agree to execute such other and further documents as may be
reasonably necessary, helpful or appropriate to effectuate the provisions of this
Agreement. The Closing shall take place when both the Agency's Conditions Precedent
and the Developer's Conditions Precedent as set forth in Section 205 have been
8
satisfied. Escrow Agent is instructed to release Agency's escrow closing and
Developer's escrow closing statements to the respective parties.

Foreign Investment Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) and any similar state
act and regulation promulgated there under. Agency agrees to execute a
Certificate of Non-Foreign Status by individual transferor and/or a
Certification of Compliance with Real Estate Reporting Requirement of the
1986 Tax Reform Act as may be required by Escrow Agent, on the form to
be supplied by Escrow Agent.
g. Prepare and file with all appropriate governmental or taxing authorities a
uniform settlement statement, closing statement, tax withholding forms
including an IRS 1099-S form, and be responsible for withholding taxes, if
any such forms are provided for or required by law.
202.4 Closing. This transaction will close within fifteen (15) days of the
parties' satisfaction of all of Agency's and Developer's Conditions Precedent to Closing
as set forth in Section 205 hereof, but in no event later than December 30, 2010 (the
"Outside Date"). The Closing shall occur at a location within Ventura County at a time
and place reasonably agreed on by the parties. The "Closing" shall mean the Grant
Deed is filed for recording with the Ventura County Recorder. The "Closing Date" shall
mean the day on which the Closing occurs.
202.5 Termination. If (except for deposit of money by Developer, which
shall be made by Developer before the Closing) Escrow is not in condition to close by
the Outside Date, then either party which has fully performed under this Agreement
may, in writing, demand the return of money or property and terminate this Agreement.
If either party makes a written demand for return of documents or properties, this
9
Agreement shall not terminate until five (5) days after Escrow Agent shall have
delivered copies of such demand to all other parties at the respective addresses shown
in this Agreement. If any objections are raised within said five (5) day period, Escrow
Agent is authorized to hold all papers and documents until instructed by a court of
competent jurisdiction or by mutual written instructions of the parties. Developer,
however, shall have the sole option to withdraw any money deposited by it for the
acquisition of the Site less Developer's share of costs of Escrow. Termination of this
Agreement shall be without prejudice as to whatever legal rights either party may have
against the other arising from this Agreement. If no demands are made, the Escrow
Agent shall proceed with the Closing as soon as possible.

203. Review of Title. The Agency shall cause Chicago Title Insurance
Company, or another title company mutually agreeable to both parties (the "Title
Company"), to deliver to Developer a standard preliminary title report (the "Report") with
respect to the title to the Site, together with legible copies of the documents underlying
the exceptions ("Exceptions") set forth in the Report, within thirty (30) days from the
date of this Agreement. The Developer shall have the right to reasonably approve or
disapprove the Exceptions.
Developer shall have thirty (30) days from the date of its receipt of the Report to give
written notice to Agency and Escrow Holder of Developer's approval or disapproval of
any of such Exceptions. Developer's failure to give written disapproval of the Report
within such time limit shall be deemed approval of the Report. If Developer notifies
Agency of its disapproval of any Exceptions in the Report, Agency shall have the right,
but not the obligation to notify Developer within ten (10) business days after receiving
written notice of Developer's disapproval that such Exception(s) will be removed on or
before the Closing. If Agency cannot or does not elect to remove any of the disapproved
Exceptions within that period, Developer shall have ten (10) business days after the
expiration of such ten (10) business day period to either give the Agency written notice
that Developer elects to proceed with the purchase of the Site subject to the
disapproved Exceptions or to give the Agency written notice that the Developer elects to
terminate this Agreement. The Exceptions approved by Developer as provided herein
shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Condition of Title." Developer shall have the right
to approve or disapprove any Exceptions reported by the Title Company after Developer
10
has approved the Condition of Title for the Site (which are not created by Developer).
Agency shall not voluntarily create any new exceptions to title following the date of this
Agreement.

Developer in the condition required by Section 203 of this Agreement. The Title
Company shall provide the Agency with a copy of the Title Policy. The Title Policy shall
be for the amount of the Purchase Price. The Agency agrees to remove on or before the
Closing any deeds of trust or other monetary liens against the Site. The Agency shall
pay that portion of the premium for the Title Policy equal to the cost of a CLTA standard
coverage title policy in the amount of the Purchase Price. Any additional costs, including

borne by the Developer.

this Agreement pursuant to Section 208.2, based upon the environmental assessments
of the Site, the following provisions shall apply to the remediation of any Hazardous
Materials in, on or under the Site that are discovered in connection with the
environmental assessments of the Site.
If Developer determines that there are hazardous materials in, on, under or about the
Site, including the groundwater, or that the Site is or may be in violation of any
Environmental Law, or that the condition of the Site is otherwise unacceptable to
Developer, then the Developer shall notify the Agency and Escrow within thirty (30)
days of receipt of the Agency's Phase I and Phase II. Agency and Developer shall

and Agency have not come to an agreement with respect to remediation of the Site,
Developer shall, within three (3) days thereafter notify Agency of whether it elects to go
forward with the acquisition of the Site and pay all remediation costs in excess of Fifty
15
Thousand Dollars ($50,000), or whether it elects to terminate this Agreement, in which
event the Developer and Agency shall each be responsible for one-half of any Escrow
cancellation charges.

herein, the physical condition, possession or title of the Site is and shall be delivered
from Agency to Developer in an "as-is" condition, with no warranty expressed or implied
by Agency, including without limitation, its geology, the presence of known or unknown
seismic faults, or the suitability of the Site for the development purposes intended
hereunder.
208.5 Developer Precautions after Closing. Upon the Closing, the
Developer shall take all necessary precautions to prevent the release into the
environment of any Hazardous Materials which are located in, on or under the Site.
Such precautions shall include compliance with all Governmental Requirements with
respect to Hazardous Materials. In addition, the Developer shall install and utilize such

environmental permits, disclosures, applications, entitlements or inquiries relating to the
Site, including notices of violation, notices to comply, citations, inquiries, clean-up or
abatement orders, cease and desist orders, reports filed pursuant to self-reporting
requirements and reports filed or applications made pursuant to any Governmental
Requirement relating to Hazardous Materials and underground tanks. The Developer
shall report to the Agency, as soon as possible after each incident, any unusual or
potentially important incidents with respect to the environmental condition of the Site.
In the event of a release of any Hazardous Materials into the environment after the
Closing, the Developer shall, as soon as possible after the release, furnish to the
Agency a copy of any and all reports relating thereto and copies of all correspondence
with governmental agencies relating to the release. Upon request, the Developer shall
furnish to the Agency a copy or copies of any and all other environmental entitlements
or inquiries relating to or affecting the Site including, but not limited to, all permit
applications, permits and reports including, without limitation, those reports and other

generation, discharge, storage or disposal of any Hazardous Materials on, under, in or
about, or the transportation of any such Hazardous Materials to or from, the Site after
the Closing, or (ii) the violation, or alleged violation, of any statute, ordinance, order,
rule, regulation, permit, judgment or license relating to the use, generation, release,
discharge, storage, disposal or transportation of Hazardous Materials on, under, in or

personal injury (including sickness, disease or death), tangible or intangible property
damage, compensation for lost wages, business income, profits or other economic loss,
damage to the natural resource or the environment, nuisance, contamination, leak, spill,
release or other adverse effect on the environment. This indemnity shall exclude (a)

and requirements, and the plans, drawings and documents submitted by the Developer
and approved by the Agency as set forth herein. The Improvements shall generally
consist of the construction of one, two story, commercial building constructed with
concrete, concrete block or other material acceptable to the City, of approximately
50,000 square feet of retail and office space, supporting parking, landscape

the Improvements or other works of improvement upon the Site, and at or prior to the
times set forth herein, the Developer shall submit to the City any plans and drawings
(collectively, the "Design Development Drawings") which may be required by the City
with respect to any entitlements and permits which are required to be obtained to
approve and develop the Improvements, and such plans for the Improvements as
required by the City in order for the Developer to obtain building and grading permits for
the Improvements. Within thirty (30) days after the City's disapproval or conditional
approval of such plans, the Developer shall revise the portions of such plans identified
by the City as requiring revisions and resubmit the revised plans to the City. In the
event that Developer objects to any of the proposed revisions, Developer and the City
shall meet and discuss the revisions. Developer shall complete Improvements within
one year from start of construction, subject to the provisions of Section 602.
302.2 City Review and Approval. The City shall have all rights to review
and approve or disapprove all Design Development Drawings and other required
submittals in accordance with the City Municipal Code, and nothing set forth in this
Agreement shall be construed as the City's approval of any or all of the Design
Development Drawings.
302.3 Revisions. Any and all change orders or revisions required by the
City and its inspectors which are required under the Municipal Code and all other
applicable Uniform Codes (e.g. Building, Plumbing, Fire, Electrical, etc.) and under
other applicable laws and regulations shall be included by the Developer in its Design
17
Development Drawings and other required submittals and shall be completed during the
construction of the Improvements.
302.4 Defects in Plans. The Agency and the City shall not be responsible
either to the Developer or to third parties in any way for any defects in the Design
Development Drawings, nor for any structural or other defects in any work done
according to the approved Design Development Drawings, nor for any delays
reasonably caused by the review and approval processes established by this Section
302.
303. Land Use Approvals. Before commencement of construction of the
Improvements or other works of improvement upon the Site, the Developer shall, at its
own expense, secure or cause to be secured any and all land use and other
entitlements, permits and approvals which may be required for the Improvements by the
City or any other governmental agency affected by such construction or work, except for
those which are the responsibility of the Agency as set forth herein. The Developer
shall, without limitation, apply for and use its reasonable good faith efforts to secure the
following:
a. Commercial Planned Development Permit.
b. All permits by the City, County of Ventura, and other governmental
agencies with jurisdiction over the Improvements, including the State
General Construction Storm Water Permit's Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan requirements and any other requirements therein.
The Developer shall pay all costs, charges and fees associated with the foregoing that
are reasonably allocable to the Project. However, the execution of this Agreement does
not constitute the granting of or a commitment to obtain any required land use permits,
entitlements or approvals required by the Agency or the City Community Development
Department.
304. Schedule of Performance. Subject to the provisions of Section 602, the
Developer shall submit all Design Development Drawings, commence and complete all
construction of the Improvements, and satisfy all other obligations and conditions of this
Agreement within the times established therefore in the Schedule of Performance which
is attached hereto as Attachment No. 4 and incorporated herein.
305. Cost of Construction. Except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth in
this Agreement, all of the cost of planning, designing, developing and constructing all of
the Improvements shall be borne solely by the Developer.
306. Insurance Requirements. The Developer shall take out and maintain until
the issuance of the Release of Construction Covenants pursuant to Section 310 of this
Agreement, a comprehensive general liability policy in the amount of Two Million Dollars
($2,000,000) combined single limit policy, and a comprehensive automobile liability
policy in the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), combined single limit, or such
other policy limits as the Agency may approve at its discretion, including contractual
liability, as shall protect the Developer, City and Agency from claims for such damages.
Such policy or policies shall be written on an occurrence basis. The Developer shall
also furnish or cause to be furnished to the Agency evidence satisfactory to the Agency
that Developer and any contractor with whom it has contracted for the performance of
18
work on the Site or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement carries workers' compensation
insurance as required by law. The Developer shall furnish a certificate of insurance
countersigned by an authorized agent of the insurance carrier on a form approved by
the Agency setting forth the general provisions of the insurance coverage. This
countersigned certificate shall name the City and the Agency and their respective
officers, agents, and employees as additionally insured parties under the policy, and the
certificate shall be accompanied by a duly executed endorsement evidencing such
additional insured status. The certificate and endorsement by the insurance carrier shall
contain a statement of obligation on the part of the carrier to notify City and the Agency
of any material change, cancellation or termination of the coverage at least thirty (30)
days in advance of the effective date of any such material change, cancellation or
termination. Coverage provided hereunder by the Developer shall be primary insurance
and not be contributing with any insurance maintained by the Agency or City, and the
policy shall contain such an endorsement. The insurance policy or the endorsement
shall contain a waiver of subrogation for the benefit of the City and the Agency. The
required insurance shall be obtained and the required certificate shall be furnished by
the Developer at the time set forth therefore in the Schedule of Performance.
307. Developer's Indemnity. The Developer shall defend (with counsel
reasonably acceptable to Agency), indemnify, assume all responsibility for, and hold the
Agency and the City, and their representatives, volunteers, officers, employees and
agents, harmless from, all claims, demands, damages, defense costs or liability of any
kind or nature relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or the implementation
hereof or any entitlements for or environmental review of the Improvements and for any
damages to property or injuries to persons, including accidental death (including
attorneys fees and costs) which may be caused by any acts or omissions of the
Developer under this Agreement, whether such activities or performance thereof be by
the Developer or by anyone directly or indirectly employed or contracted with by the
Developer and whether such damage shall accrue or be discovered before or after
termination of this Agreement. The Developer shall not be liable for property damage or
bodily injury occasioned by the negligence of the City, the Agency or their designated
agents or employees.
308. Rights of Access. Prior to the issuance of a Release of Construction
Covenants (as specified in Section 310 of this Agreement), for purposes of assuring
compliance with this Agreement, representatives of the Agency shall have the right of
access to the Site, without charges or fees, at normal construction hours during the
period of construction for the purposes of this Agreement, including but not limited to,
the inspection of the work being performed in constructing the Improvements so long as
Agency representatives comply with all safety rules. Until the Release of Construction
Covenants, Agency shall defend, indemnify, assume all responsibility for and hold the
Developer harmless from and against any and all third party liabilities, suits, actions,
claims, demands, penalties, damages, losses, costs or expenses which result from the
exercise of such entry. The Agency (or its representatives) shall, except in emergency
situations, notify the Developer prior to exercising its rights pursuant to this Section 308.
309. Compliance with Laws. The Developer shall carry out the design and
construction of the Improvements in conformity with all applicable laws, including all
applicable state labor standards, the City zoning and development standards, building,
19
plumbing, mechanical and electrical codes, and all other provisions of the City of
Moorpark Municipal Code, and all applicable disabled and handicapped access
requirements, including without limitation the Americans With Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C.
Section 12101, et seq., Government Code Section 4450, et seq., Government Code
Section 11135, et seq., and the Unruh Civil Rights Act, Civil Code Section 51, et seq.
309.1 Taxes and Assessments. Commencing on the Closing and
continuing throughout Developer's ownership of the Site, the Developer shall pay prior
to delinquency all ad valorem real estate taxes and assessments on the Site, subject to
the Developer's right to contest in good faith any such taxes. The Developer shall
remove or have removed any levy or attachment made on the Site or any part thereof,
or assure the satisfaction thereof within a reasonable time. The Developer shall not
apply for or receive any exemption from the payment of property taxes or assessments
on any interest in or to the Site or the Improvements.
309.2 Liens and Stop Notices. The Developer shall not allow to be
placed on the Site or any part thereof any lien or stop notice which are caused by any
acts or omissions of Developer or anyone directly or indirectly employed by or
contracted with the Developer. If such a claim of a lien or stop notice is given or
recorded affecting the Improvements the Developer shall within thirty (30) days of such
recording or service or within five (5) days of the Agency's demand whichever last
occurs:
a. Pay and discharge the same; or
b. Affect the release thereof by recording and delivering to the Agency a
surety bond in sufficient form and amount, or otherwise; or
c. Provide the Agency with other assurance which the Agency deems, in its
sole discretion, to be satisfactory for the payment of such lien or bonded
stop notice and for the full and continuous protection of Agency from the
effect of such lien or bonded stop notice.
310. Release of Construction Covenants. Promptly after completion of the
Improvements in conformity with this Agreement, the Agency shall furnish the
Developer with a "Release of Construction Covenants," substantially in the form of
Attachment No. 6 hereto which is incorporated herein by reference. The Agency shall
not unreasonably withhold such Release of Construction Covenants. The Release of
Construction Covenants shall be a conclusive determination of satisfactory completion
of the Improvements and the Release of Construction Covenants shall so state. Any
party then owning or thereafter purchasing, leasing or otherwise acquiring any interest
in the Site shall not (because of such ownership, purchase, lease or acquisition) incur
any obligation or liability under this Agreement except for those continuing covenants as
set forth in Section 400 of this Agreement.
If the Agency refuses or fails to furnish the Release of Construction Covenants, after
written request from the Developer, the Agency shall, within thirty (30) days of written
request therefore, provide the Developer with a written statement of the reasons the
Agency refused or failed to furnish the Release of Construction Covenants. The
statement shall also contain the Agency's opinion of the actions the Developer must
take to obtain the Release of Construction Covenants. The Release of Construction
20
Covenants shall not constitute evidence of compliance with or satisfaction of any
obligation of the Developer to any holder of any mortgage, or any insurer of a mortgage
securing money loaned to finance the Improvements, or any part thereof. The Release
of Construction Covenants is not a notice of completion as referred to in Section 3093 of
the California Civil Code.
311. Financing of the Improvements.
311.1 Approval of Financing. As required herein and as an Agency
Condition Precedent to the Closing, Developer shall submit to Agency evidence that
Developer has obtained sufficient equity capital or has obtained firm and binding
commitments for construction financing necessary to undertake the development of the
Site and the construction of the Improvements in accordance with this Agreement.
Agency shall approve or disapprove such evidence of financing commitments within
fifteen (15) business days of receipt of a complete submission. Approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or conditioned. If Agency approves such financing plan, it shall
execute commercially reasonable subordination documentation evidencing the
subordination of the Agency Loan Note and Deed of Trust to the lien of any construction
loan deed of trust. If Agency shall disapprove any such evidence of financing, Agency
shall do so by Notice to Developer stating the reasons for such disapproval and
Developer shall promptly obtain and submit to Agency new evidence of financing.
Agency shall approve or disapprove such new evidence of financing in the same
manner and within the same times established in this Section 311.1 for the approval or
disapproval of the evidence of financing as initially submitted to Agency. Developer shall
close the approved financing concurrently with the Closing.
Such evidence of financing shall include the following: (a) a copy of a legally binding,
firm and enforceable loan commitment(s) obtained by Developer from unrelated
financial institutions for the mortgage loan or loans for financing to fund the purchase,
construction, completion, operation and maintenance of the Improvements, subject to
such lenders' reasonable, customary and normal conditions and terms, and/or (b) a
certification from the chief financial officer or chief executive officer of Developer that
Developer has sufficient funds for such purchase, construction, completion, operation
and maintenance of the Improvements, and that such funds have been committed to
such purchase, construction, completion, operation and maintenance of the
Improvements, and/or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Agency as
evidence of other sources of capital sufficient to demonstrate that Developer has
adequate funds to cover the difference between the total cost of the acquisition of the
Site, and construction and completion of the Improvements, less financing authorized by
those loans set forth in subparagraph (a) above.
Following completion of construction, within 30 days after written request by Developer,
the Agency shall execute commercially reasonable subordination documentation
evidencing the subordination of the Agency Loan Note and Deed of Trust to the lien of
any deed of trust securing a permanent loan provided that such loan is being obtained
from unrelated financial institutions to fund the completion, operation and/or
maintenance of the Site and Improvements and the Developer delivers the certificate
required under clause (b) in the preceding paragraph.
21
311.2 No Encumbrances Except Mortgages, Deeds of Trust, or Sale
and Lease-Back for Development. Mortgages, deeds of trust and sales and leases-
back are to be permitted before completion of the construction of the Improvements with
the Agency's prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, but only for the purpose of securing loans of funds to be used for financing the
acquisition of the Site, construction of the Improvements (including architecture,
engineering, legal, and related direct costs as well as indirect costs) on or in connection
with the Site, permanent financing, and any other purposes necessary and appropriate
in connection with development under this Agreement. The Developer shall notify the
Agency in advance of any mortgage, deed of trust or sale and lease-back financing, if
the Developer proposes to enter into the same before completion of the construction of
the Improvements. The words "mortgage" and "trust deed" as used hereinafter shall
include sale and lease-back. The Developer shall not enter into any such conveyance
for financing without the prior written approval of the Agency, which approval Agency
agrees to give if any such conveyance for financing is given to a responsible financial
lending institution or person or entity ("Lender"). The Agency will subordinate to the
Developer's construction and/or permanent financing provided that the Agency's Deed
of Trust is secured by the Site pursuant to a commercially reasonable form of
subordination agreement.
311.3 Holder Not Obligated to Construct Improvements. The holder of
any mortgage or deed of trust authorized by this Agreement shall not be obligated by
the provisions of this Agreement to construct or complete the Improvements or any
portion thereof, or to guarantee such construction or completion; nor shall any covenant
or any other provision in this Agreement be construed so to obligate such holder.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to construe, permit or authorize any such
holder to devote the Site to any uses or to construct any improvements thereon, other
than those uses or improvements provided for or authorized by this Agreement.
311.4 Notice of Default to Mortgagee or Deed of Trust Holders; Right
to Cure. With respect to any mortgage or deed of trust granted by Developer as
provided herein, whenever the Agency may deliver any notice or demand to Developer
with respect to any breach or default by the Developer in completion of construction of
the Improvements, the Agency shall at the same time deliver to each holder of record of
any mortgage or deed of trust authorized by this Agreement a copy of such notice or
demand. Each such holder shall (insofar as the rights granted by the Agency are
concerned) have the right, at its option, within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the
notice, to cure or remedy or commence to cure or remedy and thereafter to pursue with
due diligence the cure or remedy of any such default and to add the cost thereof to the
mortgage debt and the lien of its mortgage. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall
be deemed to permit or authorize such holder to undertake or continue the construction
or completion of the Improvements, or any portion thereof (beyond the extent necessary
to conserve or protect the improvements or construction already made) without first
having expressly assumed the Developer's obligations to the Agency by written
agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Agency. The holder, in that event, must agree
to complete, in the manner provided in this Agreement, the Improvements to which the
lien or title of such holder relates. Any such holder properly completing such
improvement shall be entitled, upon compliance with the requirements of Section 310 of
22
this Agreement, to a Release of Construction Covenants. It is understood that a holder
shall be deemed to have satisfied the thirty (30) day time limit set forth above for
commencing to cure or remedy a Developer default which requires title and/or
possession of the Site (or portion thereof) if and to the extent any such holder has within
such thirty (30) day period commenced proceedings to obtain title and/or possession
and thereafter the holder diligently pursues such proceedings to completion and cures
or remedies the default.
311.5 Failure of Holder to Complete Improvements. In any case where,
thirty (30) days after the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust creating a lien or
encumbrance upon the Site or any part thereof receives a notice from Agency of a
default by the Developer in completion of construction of any of the Improvements
under this Agreement, and such holder has not exercised the option to construct as set
forth in Section 311, or if it has exercised the option but has defaulted hereunder and
failed to timely cure such default, the Agency may purchase the mortgage or deed of
trust by payment to the holder of the amount of the unpaid mortgage or deed of trust
debt, including principal and interest and all other sums secured by the mortgage or
deed of trust. If the ownership of the Site or any part thereof has vested in the holder,
the Agency, if it so desires, shall be entitled to a conveyance from the holder to the
Agency upon payment to the holder of an amount equal to the sum of the following:
a. The unpaid mortgage or deed of trust debt at the time title became vested
in the holder (less all appropriate credits, including those resulting from
collection and application of rentals and other income received during
foreclosure proceedings);
b. All expenses with respect to foreclosure including reasonable attorneys'
fees;
c. The net expense, if any (exclusive of general overhead), incurred by the
holder as a direct result of the subsequent management of the Site or part
thereof;
d. The costs of any improvements made by such holder;
e. An amount equivalent to the interest that would have accrued on the
aggregate of such amounts had all such amounts become part of the
mortgage or deed of trust debt and such debt had continued in existence
to the date of payment by the Agency; and
f. Any customary prepayment charges imposed by the lender pursuant to its
loan documents and agreed to by the Developer.
311.6 Right of the Agency to Cure Mortgage or Deed of Trust Default.
In the event of a mortgage or deed of trust default or breach by the Developer prior to
the completion of the construction of any of the Improvements or any part thereof,
Developer shall immediately deliver to Agency a copy of any mortgage holder's notice
of default. If the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust has not exercised its option to
construct, the Agency shall have the right but no obligation to cure the default. In such
event, the Agency shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Developer of all costs
and expenses incurred by the Agency in curing such default. The Agency shall also be
entitled to a lien upon the Site to the extent of such costs and disbursements. Any such
23
lien shall be junior and subordinate to the mortgages or deeds of trust pursuant to this
Section 311.
312. Agency Loan to Developer. The Agency will make a loan to the
Developer to assist with the purchase of the Site. The terms and conditions of the
Agency Loan are as follows:
a. Developer provides the Agency with a cash payment of Two Hundred
Twenty Four Thousand Six Hundred and Eighty Three dollars
($224,683.00).
b. Monthly interest will be deferred, but will accrue, until Stabilization.
Developer may choose to make interest payments before Stabilization
without any prepayment penalty; after Stabilization monthly interest only
payments will be required.
c. The Agency Loan will be subordinate to the construction loan and
permanent financing for a period of ten (10) years.
d. The term of the loan will be ten (10) years. Upon loan maturity, a balloon
payment for the principal amount and all accrued interest will be due to the
Agency.
e. The interest rate of the loan will be a fixed rate of 8.25%. The Loan
Agreement and Deed of Trust are included as Attachment 7 and
Attachment 8, respectively.
f. Agency shall subordinate the Agency Loan and Deed of Trust as provided
in Section 3.11 above.
400. COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS
401. Business Improvement District Covenant. Developer agrees to
support the exploration of the feasibility of the formation of a Business Improvement
District ("BID") and to explore one or more assessments, for the maintenance of
parkway and median landscaping, and street lighting, including but not limited to all
water and electricity costs, and if requested by the City Council, a park for the provision
of special benefits conferred by same upon properties within the Project.
In addition to any 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 that are related to and or
required of said Project. Said fees include but are not limited to Library Facilities Fees,
Fire Facilities Fees, drainage, entitlement processing fees, and plan check and permit
fees for buildings and public improvements. 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 agrees that any fees and payments pursuant to the Agreement shall be
made without reservation, and Developer expressly waives the right to payment of any
such fees under protest pursuant to California Government Code Section 66020 and
24
statutes amendatory or supplementary thereto.
402. Use and Operation Covenants. Subject to the provisions of Section 602,
the Developer hereby covenants and agrees that the Improvements shall be used and
operated as described in Section 301 or for such other use as then permitted in the C-
OT zone under the City's zoning ordinance with the prior approval of the Executive
Director of the Agency, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed
provided all applicable City requirements have been met. Developer further covenants
and agrees that the Improvements shall not be used by any bail bond, pawn shops or
adult businesses for perpetuity.
403. Maintenance Covenants. The Developer shall maintain the Site and all
improvements thereon, including all landscaping, in compliance with all applicable
provisions of the City of Moorpark Municipal Code and all conditions of approval of the
Project. If a default under this Section is not fully cured by Developer as provided in
Section 501, Agency shall have the right to enter the Site at all reasonable times,
complete the maintenance or repair, and invoice Developer for the direct costs and
expenses of said work plus fifteen percent (15%) of said costs and expenses for
administration. Developer shall pay the invoice in full within fifteen (15) days after
receipt thereof.
404. Nondiscrimination Covenants. The Developer covenants by and for itself
and any successors in interest that there shall be no discrimination against or
segregation of any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religion,
sex, marital status, national origin or ancestry in the sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use,
occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Site, nor shall the Developer itself or any person
claiming under or through it establish or permit any such practice or practices of
discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or
occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sublessees or vendees of the Site. The
foregoing covenants shall run with the land.
The Developer shall refrain from restricting the rental, sale or lease of the Site on the
basis of race, color, religion, sex, marital status, ancestry or national origin of any
person. All such deeds, leases or contracts shall contain or be subject to substantially
the following nondiscrimination or nonsegregation clauses:
a. In deeds: "The grantee herein covenants by and for himself or herself, his
or her heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, and all persons
claiming under or through them, that there shall be no discrimination

in the sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment

405. Effect of Violation of the Terms and Provisions of this Agreement after
Completion of Construction. The Agency is deemed the beneficiary of the terms and
provisions of this Agreement and of the covenants running with the land, for and in its
own right and for the purposes of protecting the interests of the community and other
parties, public or private, in whose favor and for whose benefit this Agreement and the
covenants running with the land have been provided, without regard to whether the
Agency has been, remains or is an owner of any land or interest therein in the Site or in
the Project. The Agency shall have the right, if the Agreement or covenants are
breached, to exercise all rights and remedies, and to maintain any actions or suits at
law or in equity or other proper proceedings to enforce the curing of such breaches to
which it or any other beneficiaries of this Agreement and covenants may be entitled.
The covenants contained in this Agreement shall remain in effect until the issuance of
the Release of Construction Covenants for the completion of the Improvements, except
for the following:
a. The environmental covenants set forth in Sections 208.5, 208.6 and 208.7
shall remain in effect in perpetuity.
b. Intentionally deleted.
c. The covenants pertaining to the use and operation of the Site set forth in
Section 402 shall remain in effect for the term of the Agency Loan.
d. The covenants pertaining to maintenance of the Site and all improvements
thereon, as set forth in Section 403, shall remain in effect for the term of
the Agency Loan.
26
e. The covenants against discrimination, as set forth in Section 404, shall
remain in effect in perpetuity.
500. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
501. Default Remedies. Subject to the extensions of time set forth in Section
602 of this Agreement, failure by either party to perform any action or covenant required
by this Agreement within the time periods provided herein following notice and failure to
cure as described hereafter, constitutes a "Default" under this Agreement. A party
claiming a Default shall give written notice of Default to the other party specifying the
Default complained of. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the
claimant shall not institute any proceeding against any other party, and the other party
shall not be in Default if such party within thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice
immediately, with due diligence, commences to cure, correct or remedy such failure or
delay and shall complete such cure, correction or remedy with diligence.
502. Institution of Legal Actions. In addition to any other rights or remedies,
including those set forth in Sections 503 and 504, respectively, and subject to the
restrictions otherwise set forth in this Agreement, either party may institute an action at
law or equity to seek specific performance of the terms of this Agreement, or to cure,
correct or remedy any Default, to recover damages for any Default, or to obtain any
other remedy consistent with the purpose of this Agreement. Such legal actions must be
instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Ventura, State of California, or if federal
jurisdiction exists, in the District of the United States District Court for the Central District
of California.
503. Termination by the Developer. In the event that the Developer is not in
Default under this Agreement and the Agency does not tender title to the Site pursuant
to the Grant Deed in the manner and condition and by the date provided in this
Agreement; or one or more of the Developer's Conditions Precedent to the Closing is
not fulfilled on or before the time set forth in the Schedule of Performance and such
failure is not caused by the Developer; or in the event of any default of the Agency prior
to the Closing which is not cured within the time set forth in Section 501 hereof, and any
such failure is not cured within the applicable time period after written demand by the
Developer, then this Agreement may, at the option of the Developer, be terminated by
written notice thereof to the Agency. From the date of the written notice of termination of
this Agreement by the Developer to the Agency and thereafter this Agreement shall be
deemed terminated and there shall be no further rights or obligations between the
parties, except that the parties may pursue any other remedies they may have
hereunder.
504. Termination by the Agency. In the event that the Agency is not in Default
under this Agreement and prior to the issuance of the Release of Construction
Covenants: the Developer (or any successor in interest) assigns or attempts to assign
the Agreement or any rights therein or in the Site in violation of this Agreement; or one
or more of the Agency's Conditions Precedent to the Closing is not fulfilled on or before
the time set forth in the Schedule of Performance and such failure is not caused by the
Agency or City Planning Department; or the Developer is otherwise in default of this
Agreement and fails to cure such default within the time set forth in Section 501 hereof,
then this Agreement and any rights of the Developer or any assignee or transferee with
27
respect to or arising out of the Agreement or the Site, shall, at the option of the Agency,
be terminated by the Agency by written notice thereof to the Developer. Three days
from the date of the written notice of termination of this Agreement by the Agency to the
Developer and thereafter this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and there shall be
no further rights or obligations between the parties, except that the parties may pursue
any and all other remedies they may have hereunder, including, but not limited to rights
to revesting of title.
505. Termination Prior to Conveyance. If, prior to the Closing on the Site, a
default under this Agreement is not fully cured by the defaulting party as provided in
Section 501 hereof, Claimant shall have the right thereafter, but not before, to terminate
this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to the defaulting party. The termination
shall be effective three days after the date on the notice, and thereafter neither party
shall have any further rights of obligation with respect to the Site. Upon the termination
(i) all documents and all monies deposited by either party into escrow shall be returned
to the party that made the deposit, and (ii) any escrow cancellation fee shall be paid by
the defaulting party.
506. Reentry and Revesting of Title in the Agency After the Closing and
Prior to Completion of Construction. The Agency has the right, at its election, to seek
and obtain a judicial order on an expedited basis authorizing it to reenter and take
possession of the Site, with all improvements thereon, and terminate and revest in the
Agency the estate conveyed to the Developer if after the Closing and prior to the
issuance of the Release of Construction Covenants, the Developer (or its successors in
interest) shall:
a. Fail to start the construction of the Improvements and to complete
Improvements within one year as required by this Agreement and for a
period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from the Agency,
subject to the provisions of Section 602; or
b. Abandon or substantially suspend construction of the Improvements
required by this Agreement for a period of thirty (30) days after written
notice thereof from the Agency subject to the provisions of Section 602; or
c. Contrary to the provisions of Section 603 transfer or suffer any involuntary
transfer of the Site or any part thereof in violation of this Agreement.
Such right to reenter, terminate and revest shall be subject to and be limited by and
shall not defeat, render invalid or limit:
a. Any mortgage or deed of trust permitted by this Agreement; or
b. Any rights or interests provided in this Agreement for the protection of the
holders of such mortgages or deeds of trust.
The Grant Deed shall contain appropriate reference and provision to give effect
to the Agency's right as set forth in this Section 506, under specified circumstances
prior to recordation of the Release of Construction Covenants, to reenter and take
possession of the Site, with all Improvements thereon, and to terminate and revest in
the Agency the estate conveyed to the Developer. Upon the revesting in the Agency of
title to the Site as provided in this Section 506, the Agency shall, pursuant to its
28
responsibilities under state law, use its reasonable efforts to resell the Site as soon and
in such manner as the Agency shall find feasible and consistent with the objectives of
such law, as it exists or may be amended, to a qualified and responsible party or parties
(as determined by the Agency) who will assume the obligation of making or completing
the Improvements, or such improvements in their stead as shall be satisfactory to the
Agency and in accordance with the uses specified for such Site or part thereof in the C-
OT zone in the City's zoning ordinance or Commercial Planned Development (CPD).
Upon such resale of the Site, the net proceeds thereof after repayment of any mortgage
or deed of trust encumbering the Site which is permitted by this Agreement, shall be
applied to reimburse the Agency, on its own behalf or on behalf of the City, all costs and
expenses incurred by the Agency, excluding City and Agency staff costs, but
specifically, including, but not limited to, any expenditures by the Agency or the City in
connection with the recapture, management and resale of the Site or part thereof (but
less any income derived by the Agency from the Site or part thereof in connection with
such management); all taxes, assessments and water or sewer charges with respect to
the Site or part thereof which the Developer has not paid (or, in the event that Site is
exempt from taxation or assessment of such charges during the period of ownership
thereof by the Agency, an amount, if paid, equal to such taxes, assessments, or
charges as would have been payable if the Site were not so exempt); any payments
made or necessary to be made to discharge any encumbrances or liens existing on the
Site or part thereof at the time or revesting of title thereto in the Agency, or to discharge
or prevent from attaching or being made any subsequent encumbrances or liens due to
obligations, defaults or acts of the Developer, its successors or transferees; any
expenditures made or obligations incurred by the Agency with respect to the making or
completion of the Improvements or any part thereof on the Site, or part thereof; and any
amounts otherwise owing the Agency, and in the event additional proceeds are
thereafter available, then
Any balance remaining after such reimbursements shall be retained by the Agency as
its property. The rights established in this Section 506 are not intended to be exclusive
of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power, and remedy
shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and
remedy authorized herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. These rights
are to be interpreted in light of the fact that the Agency will have conveyed the Site to
the Developer for redevelopment purposes, particularly for development of a
commercial/retail facility, and not for speculation in undeveloped land.
507. Acceptance of Service of Process. In the event that any legal action is
commenced by the Developer against the Agency, service of process on the Agency
shall be made by personal service upon the Executive Director of the Agency or in such
other manner as may be provided by law. In the event that any legal action is
commenced by the Agency against the Developer, service of process on the Developer
shall be made by personal service upon the President of the Developer or in such other
manner as may be provided by law.
508. Rights and Remedies Are Cumulative. Except as otherwise expressly
stated in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative, and the
exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the
29
exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the
same default or any other default by the other party.
509. Inaction Not a Waiver of Default. Any failures or delays by either party in
asserting any of its rights and remedies as to any Default shall not operate as a waiver
of any Default or of any such rights or remedies, or deprive either such party of its right
to institute and maintain any actions or proceedings which it may deem necessary to
protect, assert or enforce any such rights or remedies.
510. Applicable Law. The laws of the State of California shall govern the
interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement.
600. GENERAL PROVISIONS
601. Notices, Demands and Communications between the Parties. Any
approval, disapproval, demand, document or other notice ("Notice") which either party
may desire to give to the other party under this Agreement must be in writing and may
be given by any commercially acceptable means to the party to whom the Notice is
directed at the address of the party as set forth below, or at any other address as that
party may later designate by Notice.

Any written notice, demand or communication shall be deemed received immediately if
delivered by hand and shall be deemed received on the third day from the date it is
postmarked if delivered by registered or certified mail.
602. Enforced Delay; Extension of Times of Performance. In addition to
specific provisions of this Agreement, performance by either party hereunder shall not
be deemed to be in Default, and all performance and other dates specified in this
Agreement shall be extended, where delays or Defaults are due to causes beyond the
control or without the fault of the party claiming an extension of time to perform, which
may include: war; insurrection; strikes; lockouts; riots; floods; earthquakes; fires;
casualties; acts of God; acts of the public enemy; epidemics; quarantine restrictions;
freight embargoes; lack of transportation; governmental restrictions or priority; litigation;
unusually severe weather; inability to secure necessary labor, materials or tools; acts or
omissions of the other party; acts or failures to act of the City or any other public or
governmental agency or entity (other than the acts or failures to act of the Agency which
30
shall not excuse performance by the Agency). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, an extension of time for any such cause shall be for the period of the
enforced delay and shall commence to run from the time of the commencement of the
cause, if notice by the party claiming such extension is sent to the other party within
thirty (30) days of the commencement of the cause. Times of performance under this
Agreement may also be extended in writing by the mutual agreement of Executive
Director of the Agency and Developer. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement
to the contrary, the lack of funding to complete the Improvements shall not constitute
grounds of enforced delay pursuant to this Section 602.
603. Transfers of Interest in Site or Agreement.
603.1 Prohibition. The qualifications and identity of the Developer are of
particular concern to the Agency. It is because of those qualifications and identity that
the Agency has entered into this Agreement with the Developer. For the period
commencing upon the date of this Agreement and until the expiration of the Agency
Loan, no voluntary or involuntary successor in interest of the Developer shall acquire
any rights or powers under this Agreement, nor shall the Developer make any total or
partial sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment, subdivision, refinancing or lease of the
whole or any part of the Site or the Improvements thereon without prior written approval
of the Agency, except as expressly set forth herein.
603.2 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, Agency approval of an assignment of this Agreement or
conveyance of the Site or Improvements, or any part thereof, shall not be required in
connection with any of the following:
a. Any transfers to an entity or entities in which either Marta Diaz Aszkenazy
or Severyn I. Aszkenazy retains management and control of the transferee
entity or entities.
b. The conveyance or dedication of any portion of the Site to the City or other
appropriate governmental agency, or the granting of easements or permits
to facilitate construction of the Improvements (as defined herein).
c. Any requested assignment for financing purposes (subject to any
approvals by the Agency that are necessary for any construction financing
pursuant to Section 311 herein), including the grant of a deed of trust to
secure the funds necessary for land acquisition, construction and
permanent financing or re-financing of the Improvements.
In the event of an assignment by Developer under subparagraphs (a) through (c),
inclusive, above not requiring the Agency's prior approval, Developer nevertheless
agrees that at least thirty (30) days prior to such assignment it shall give written notice
to Agency of such assignment and satisfactory evidence that the assignee has
assumed jointly with Developer the obligations of this Agreement.
603.3 Agency Consideration of Requested Transfer. The Agency
Board will not unreasonably withhold approval of a request made pursuant to this
Section 603.3, provided the Developer delivers written notice to the Agency requesting
such approval. Such notice shall be accompanied by sufficient evidence regarding the
proposed assignee's or purchaser's development (in the event that the Improvements
31
have not been completed) and/or operational qualifications and experience, and its
financial commitments and resources, in sufficient detail to enable the Agency to
evaluate the proposed assignee or purchaser pursuant to the criteria set forth in this
Section 603.3 and as reasonably determined by the Agency. The Agency shall evaluate
each proposed transferee or assignee on the basis of its development (in the event that
the Improvements have not been completed) and/or qualifications and experience in the
operation of facilities similar to the Improvements, and its financial commitments and
resources, and may reasonably disapprove any proposed transferee or assignee,
during the term of the Agency Loan, which the Agency determines does not possess
qualifications satisfactory for performing the obligations of Developer. An assignment
and assumption agreement in form satisfactory to the Agency's legal counsel shall also
be required for all proposed assignments for which Agency consent is required
hereunder. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Developer's written notice
requesting Agency approval of an assignment or transfer pursuant to this Section 603.3,
the Agency shall either approve or disapprove such proposed assignment or shall
respond in writing by stating what further information, if any, the Agency reasonably
requires in order to determine the request complete and determine whether or not to
grant the requested approval. Upon receipt of such a response, the Developer shall
promptly furnish to the Agency such further information as may be reasonably
requested. Developer shall pay all Agency out-of-pocket costs plus 15% for review of
assumption agreement including, but limited to, legal and financial reviews. Developer
shall provide a deposit of$2,500 upon submittal of request for transfer.
603.4 Successors and Assigns. All of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon the Developer and its permitted
successors and assigns. Whenever the term "Developer" is used in this Agreement,
such term shall include any other permitted successors and assigns as herein provided.
603.5 Assignment by Agency. The Agency may assign or transfer any of
its rights or obligations under this Agreement with the approval of the Developer, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that the Agency may
assign or transfer any of its interests hereunder to the City at any time without the
consent of the Developer.
604. Non-Liability of Officials and Employees of the Agency and the
Developer. No member, official or employee of the Agency or the City shall be
personally liable to the Developer, or any successor in interest, in the event of any
Default or breach by the Agency (or the City) or for any amount which may become due
to the Developer or its successors, or on any obligations under the terms of this
Agreement.
605. Relationship Between Agency and Developer. It is hereby acknowledged
that the relationship between the Agency and the Developer is not that of a partnership
or joint venture and that the Agency and the Developer shall not be deemed or
construed for any purpose to be the agent of the other. Accordingly, except as expressly
provided herein or in the Attachments hereto, the Agency shall have no rights, powers,
duties or obligations with respect to the development, operation, maintenance or
management of the Improvements.
32
606. Agency Approvals and Actions. The Agency shall maintain authority of
this Agreement and the authority to implement this Agreement through the Agency
Executive Director (or his duly authorized representative). The Agency Executive
Director shall have the authority to make approvals, issue interpretations, waive
provisions, and/or enter into amendments of this Agreement on behalf of the Agency so
long as such actions do not materially or substantially change the uses or development
permitted on the Site, or materially or substantially add to the costs incurred or to be
incurred by the Agency as specified herein, and such approvals, interpretations, waivers
and/or amendments may include extensions of time to perform as specified in the
Schedule of Performance. All other material and/or substantial interpretations, waivers,
or amendments shall require the consideration, action and written consent of the
Agency Board.
607. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in multiple counterparts
which, when signed by all parties, shall constitute a binding agreement. This Agreement
is executed in three (3) originals, each of which is deemed to be an original.
608. Integration. This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the
parties relating to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. All prior or
contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations and statements, oral or
written, are merged in this Agreement and shall be of no further force or effect. Each
party is entering this Agreement based solely upon the representations set forth herein
and upon each party's own independent investigation of any and all facts such party
deems material. This Agreement includes pages 1 through 32 and Attachment Nos. 1
through 8, which constitute the entire understanding and agreement of the parties,
notwithstanding any previous negotiations or agreements between the parties or their
predecessors in interest with respect to all or any part of the subject matter hereof.
609. Real Estate Brokerage Commission. The Agency and the Developer each
represent and warrant to the other that no broker or finder is entitled to any commission
or finder's fee in connection with the Developer's acquisition of the Site from the
Agency. The parties agree to defend and hold harmless the other party from any claim
to any such commission or fee from any broker, agent or finder with respect to this
Agreement which is payable by such party.
610. Attorneys' Fees. In any action between the parties to interpret, enforce,
reform, modify, rescind, or otherwise in connection with any of the terms or provisions of
this Agreement, the prevailing party in the action shall be entitled, in addition to
damages, injunctive relief, or any other relief to which it might be entitled, reasonable
costs and expenses including, without limitation, litigation costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees.
611. Titles and Captions. Titles and captions are for convenience of reference
only and do not define, describe or limit the scope or the intent of this Agreement or of
any of its terms. Reference to section numbers is to sections in this Agreement, unless
expressly stated otherwise.
612. Interpretation. As used in this Agreement, masculine, feminine or neuter
gender and the singular or plural number shall each be deemed to include the others
where and when the context so dictates. The word "including" shall be construed as if
33
followed by the words "without limitation." This Agreement shall be interpreted as
though prepared jointly by both parties.
613. No Waiver. A waiver by either party of a breach of any of the covenants,
conditions or agreements under this Agreement to be performed by the other party shall
not be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or other covenants,
agreements, restrictions or conditions of this Agreement.
614. Modifications. Any alteration, change or modification of or to this
Agreement, in order to become effective, shall be made in writing and in each instance
signed on behalf of each party.
615. Severability. If any term, provision, condition or covenant of this Agreement
or its application to any party or circumstances shall be held, to any extent, invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of the term,
provision, condition or covenant to persons or circumstances other than those as to
whom or which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected, and shall be
valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
616. Calendar of Time. The time in which any act is to be done under this
Agreement is computed by excluding the first day (such as the day escrow opens), and
including the last day, unless the last day is a holiday or Saturday or Sunday, and then

five hundred (500) feet below the surface thereof for any and all purposes incidental to
the exploration for and production of oil, gas, hydrocarbon substances or minerals from
said Site or other lands, but without, however, any right to use either the surface of the
Site or any portion thereof within five hundred (500) feet of the surface for any purpose
or purposes whatsoever, or to use the Site in such a manner as to create a disturbance

2. Agency excepts and reserves from the conveyance herein described all
interest of the Agency in air space above Thirty-Five (35) feet above the surface (the

City of Moorpark, and a Disposition and Development Agreement entered into between
40
Agency and Developer dated 200 (the "DDA"), a copy of which is
on file with the Agency at its offices as a public record and which is incorporated herein
by reference. The DDA generally requires the Developer to construct improvements on
the Site including one commercial building of approximately 40,000 square feet of Gross

4. The Developer covenants and agrees for itself, its successors, its assigns, and
every successor in interest to the Site or any part thereof, that upon the date of this
Grant Deed and during construction and thereafter, the Developer shall devote the Site
to the uses specified in the Commercial Planned Development Permit No. and

persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, national origin or
ancestry in the sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of
the land herein conveyed, nor shall the Developer himself or herself or any person
claiming under or through him or her, establish or permit any such practice or practices
of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or
occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sublessees or vendees in the land herein
conveyed. The foregoing covenants shall run with the land.
6. The Agency has the right, at its election, to reenter and take possession of the
Site, with all improvements thereon, and terminate and revest in the Agency the estate

of Construction Covenants, if the Developer (or its successors in interest) shall:
a. abandon or substantially suspend construction of the Improvements
required by the DDA for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice
thereof from the Agency subject to the provisions of Section 602 of the
DDA; or
b. contrary to the provisions of Section 603 of the DDA transfer or suffer any
involuntary transfer of the Site or any part thereof in violation of the DDA.

b. Any rights or interests provided in the DDA for the protection of the
holders of such mortgages or deeds of trust.
Upon the revesting in the Agency of title to the Site as provided in Section 506 of
41
the DDA, the Agency shall, pursuant to its responsibilities under state law, use its
reasonable efforts to resell the Site as soon and in such manner as the Agency shall
find feasible and consistent with the objectives of such law, as it exists or may be
amended, to a qualified and responsible party or parties (as determined by the Agency)
who will assume the obligation of making or completing the Improvements, or such
improvements in their stead as shall be satisfactory to the Agency and in accordance
with the uses specified for such Site as provided in the City's zoning ordinance. Upon
such resale of the Site, the net proceeds thereof after repayment of any mortgage or
deed of trust encumbering the Site which is permitted by this Agreement shall be
applied to reimburse the Agency, on its own behalf or on behalf of the City, all costs and
expenses incurred by the Agency, excluding City and Agency staff costs, but
specifically, including, but not limited to, any expenditures by the Agency or the City in
connection with the recapture, management and resale of the Site or part thereof (but
less any income derived by the Agency from the Site or part thereof in connection with
such management); all taxes, assessments and water or sewer charges with respect to
the Site or part thereof which the Developer has not paid (or, in the event that Site is
exempt from taxation or assessment of such charges during the period of ownership
thereof by the Agency, an amount, if paid, equal to such taxes, assessments, or
charges as would have been payable if the Site were not so exempt); any payments
made or necessary to be made to discharge any encumbrances or liens existing on the
Site or part thereof at the time or revesting of title thereto in the Agency, or to discharge
or prevent from attaching or being made any subsequent encumbrances or liens due to
obligations, defaults or acts of the Developer, its successors or transferees; any
expenditures made or obligations incurred with respect to the making or completion of
the improvements or any part thereof on the Site, or part thereof; and any amounts
otherwise owing the Agency, and in the event additional proceeds are thereafter
available, then any balance remaining after such reimbursements shall be retained by
the Agency as its property. The rights established in this Paragraph 6 are not intended
to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right,
power, and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any
other right, power and remedy authorized herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity. These rights are to be interpreted in light of the fact that the Agency will have
conveyed the Site to the Developer for redevelopment purposes, particularly for
development of the Improvements, and not for speculation in undeveloped land.
7. No violation or breach of the covenants, conditions, restrictions, provisions or
limitations contained in this Grant Deed shall defeat or render invalid or in any way
impair the lien or charge of any mortgage or deed of trust or security interest permitted
by paragraph 5 of this Grant Deed; provided, however, that any subsequent owner of
the Site shall be bound by such remaining covenants, conditions, restrictions, limitations
and provisions, whether such owner's title was acquired by foreclosure, deed in lieu of
foreclosure, trustee's sale or otherwise.
8. All covenants contained in this Grant Deed shall be covenants running with the
land for the periods set forth therefore in the DDA. Every covenant contained in this
Grant Deed against discrimination contained in paragraph 5 of this Grant Deed shall
remain in effect in perpetuity.
9. All covenants without regard to technical classification or designation shall be
42
binding for the benefit of the Agency, and such covenants shall run in favor of the
Agency for the entire period during which such covenants shall be in force and effect,
without regard to whether the Agency is or remains an owner of any land or interest
therein to which such covenants relate. The Agency, in the event of any breach of any
such covenants, shall have the right to exercise all the rights and remedies and to
maintain any actions at law or suits in equity or other proper proceedings to enforce the
curing of such breach.
10. Both Agency, its successors and assigns, and Developer and the successors
and assigns of Developer in and to all or any part of the fee title to the Site shall have
the right with the mutual consent of the Agency to consent and agree to changes in, or
to eliminate in whole or in part, any of the covenants, easements or restrictions
contained in this Grant Deed without the consent of any tenant, lessee, easement
holder, licensee, mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary under a deed of trust or any other
person or entity having any interest less than a fee in the Site. However, Developer and
Agency are obligated to give written notice to and obtain the consent of any first
mortgagee prior to consent or agreement between the parties concerning such changes
to this Grant Deed. The covenants contained in this Grant Deed, without regard to
technical classification, shall not benefit or be enforceable by any owner of any other
real property, or any person or entity having any interest in any other such realty. Any
amendment to the Moorpark Municipal Code which proposes to change the uses or
development permitted on the Site, or otherwise proposes a change of any of the
restrictions or controls that apply to the Site, shall require the written consent of the first
mortgagee and the Developer or the successors and assigns of Developer in and to all
or any part of the fee title to the Site, but any such amendment which proposes a
change affecting the Site shall not require the consent of any tenant, lessee, easement
holder, licensee, mortgagee (other than the first mortgagee), trustee, beneficiary under
a deed of trust or any other person or entity having any interest less than a fee in the
Site.

pursues such cure to completion.
54

and payable, without any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all
of which are hereby expressly waived by Developer. All rights and remedies of the
Agency under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the DDA and at law and in
equity are cumulative and not alternative.

PROMISSORY NOTE SECURED BY DEED OF TRUST
$ MOORPARK, California
, 20
For value received, (the
"Developer"), does hereby covenant and promise to pay to the
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK (the "Agency"), or
order, the principal sum of dollars ($ ), together
with interest thereon at the rate of percent (_%) per annum.
Principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the United States of
America without setoff, deduction or counterclaim and shall be paid to the
Agency, as provided in Section 2 below, at 799 Moorpark Avenue, Moorpark,
California, or at such other place as the Agency may from time to time designate
by written notice to the Developer,
1. Loan Agreement. This Promissory Note (the "Note") is issued
pursuant to, and subject to, that certain Loan Agreement dated ,
20 , by and between the Developer and the Agency (the "Agreement"), to
which Agreement reference is made for a more complete statement of the
Agency's rights. Capitalized terms not defined in this Note shall have the same
meanings which are given to them in the Agreement. The indebtedness
evidenced by this Note is secured by a Deed of Trust as described in the
Agreement.
2. Terms of the Loan.
(a) Subject to the following sentence, interest only shall be
payable in monthly installments, commencing on , 20 , and
continuing thereafter on the same date of each succeeding month until
, 20 (the "Maturity Date"), at which time all outstanding
principal, together with all accrued interest thereon, shall be fully due and
payable. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence to the contrary, the Developer
may, at its option, choose not to pay one or more or all of the monthly
installments of interest coming due prior to the date when the Project (as defined
below) is first 90% leased, and any such installments of interest not paid by
Developer shall be added to the principal amount of this Note and thereupon
bear interest as provided in this Note. As used in this Note, the term "Project"
has the meaning given to it in that certain Disposition and Development
Agreement (the "DDA"), dated as of , 20 , by and between
the Agency and the Developer.
(b) To the extent that the Developer makes any payment or the
58
Agency receives any payment or proceeds for the Developer's benefit, which are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or are
required to be set aside or to be repaid to a trustee, debtor-in-possession,
receiver, custodian or any other party under any bankruptcy law, common law or
equitable cause, then, to such extent, the obligations of the Developer hereunder
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or
proceeds had not been received by the Agency.
(c) In addition to any interest which may be charged hereunder,
the Developer shall pay to the Agency a charge ("Late Charge") for the collection
of late payments in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of any payment
required hereunder which is not paid within ten (10) days after the date such
payment is due, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Developer agrees that the Late Charge shall be due and payable
upon the entire unpaid principal amount if not paid when due upon the Maturity
Date. The Developer recognizes that its default in making any payment as
provided herein or in the Loan Agreement as agreed to be paid when due, or the
occurrence of any other Event of Default hereunder or under any other loan
document, will require the Agency to incur additional expense in servicing and
administering the Loan, will result in loss to the Agency of the use of the money
due and in frustration to the Agency in meeting its other financial and loan
commitments and that the damages caused thereby would be extremely difficult
and impractical to ascertain. Nothing in this Note shall be construed as an
obligation on the part of the Agency to accept, at any time, less than the full
amount then due hereunder or as a waiver or limitation of the Agency's right to
compel prompt performance.
(d) All payments on this Note will be applied first to the payment
of any costs, fees, Late Charges, or other charges incurred in connection with the
indebtedness evidenced by this Note; next, to the payment of accrued interest;
then to the reduction of the principal balance. The Developer may prepay this
Note, in whole or in part, at any time without any penalty or additional fees.
(e) The Deed of Trust which secures the indebtedness evidence
by this Note provides as follows:
"In the event of any Transfer (as defined below) of said property,
Beneficiary shall have the absolute right at its option, without prior demand
or notice, to declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and
payable. As used herein, 'Transfer' means any sale, conveyance, lease,
transfer or disposition of all or any part of said property or any interest of
Trustor therein, or the further hypothecation or encumbering of said
property or any part thereof or any interest of Trustor therein, or the entry
into any agreement to do any of the foregoing; provided, however, that
'Transfer' shall not mean any of the foregoing which are approved by the
Beneficiary in accordance with the terms of the Disposition and
59
Development Agreement (the "DDA"), dated as of , 20 ,
by and between the Beneficiary and the Trustor or are otherwise expressly
permitted under the terms of the DDA without the approval of Beneficiary."
(f) The parties hereto intend to conform strictly to the applicable
usury laws. In no event shall the Agency be entitled to interest exceeding the
maximum rate permitted by law. If fulfillment of any provision of this Note, or of
any other document pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced hereby, at the time
performance of such provisions shall be due, would involve exceeding the
maximum rate of interest prescribed by law, then the obligation to be fulfilled
shall be reduced automatically so as to equal such maximum rate. If the Agency
shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest under applicable law which
would exceed interest at the highest lawful rate, an amount equal to any amount
which would have been excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of
principal payable with respect to this Note and not to the payment of interest, or if
such amount which would have been excessive interest exceeds the unpaid
balance of principal hereof, such excess shall be refunded to Developer. All
sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Agency for the use, forbearance or
detention of the indebtedness of the Developer to the Agency hereunder shall, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and

required by law, Trustee, without demand on Trustor, shall sell said property at
the time and place fixed by it in said notice of sale, either as a whole or in
separate parcels, and in such order as it may determine, at public auction to the
highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of

announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter
may postpone such sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the
preceding postponement. Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser its deed
conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or
implied. The recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive
proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Trustor, Trustee, or
Beneficiary as hereinafter defined, may purchase at such sale.

including cost of evidence of title in connection with sale, Trustee shall apply the

hereby, may from time to time, by instrument in writing, substitute a successor or
successors to any Trustee named herein or acting hereunder, which instrument,
executed by the Beneficiary and duly acknowledged and recorded in the office of
the recorder of the county or counties where said property is situated, shall be
conclusive proof of proper substitution of such successor Trustee or Trustees,
who shall, without conveyance from the Trustee predecessor, succeed to all its
title, estate, rights, powers and duties. Said instrument must contain the name of
the original Trustor, Trustee and Beneficiary hereunder, the book and page
where this Deed of Trust is recorded and the name and address of the new
Trustee.

parties hereto, their heirs, legatees, devisees, administrators, executors,
successors, and assigns. The term Beneficiary shall mean the owner and
holder, including pledgees of the note secured hereby, whether or not named as
Beneficiary herein. In this Deed of Trust, whenever the context so requires, the
masculine gender includes the feminine and/or the neuter, and the singular
number includes the plural.

and acknowledged, is made a public record as provided by law. Trustee is not
obligated to notify any party hereto of pending sale under any other Deed of
Trust or of any action or proceeding in which Trustor, Beneficiary or Trustee shall
be a party unless brought by Trustee.

notice, to declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and payable. As

otherwise expressly permitted under the terms of the DDA without the approval
of Beneficiary.

provided the charge thereof does not exceed the maximum allowed by laws.
(11) Beneficiary has agreed to subordinate this Deed of Trust to other deeds of
trust upon the terms set forth in Section 3.11 of the DDA.
