CONTINUATION OF A PUBLIC HEARING TO APPROVE A DISPOSITION AND
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH SCHLPS, LLC TO PROVIDE A LAND WRITE-
DOWN TO FACILITATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE STAR CANYON RESORT
PROJECT, INCLUDING A 210-ROOM LUXURY HOTEL AND 264 TIMESHARE UNITS,
ON SOUTH PALM CANYON DRIVE BETWEEN SUNNY DUNES DRIVE AND
MESQUITE DRIVE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Agency approve a Disposition and Development
Agreement with SCHLPS, LLC to provide a land write-down to facilitate the
development of the Star Canyon Resort on South Palm Canyon Drive in Merged
Project Area #1.
SUMMARY:
This resolution approves a Disposition and Development Agreement with
SCHLPS, LLC, the developers of the Star Canyon Resort on South Palm
Canyon Drive. The resort, which received final land-use approvals from City
Council in May, 2000, features a 210-room hotel and 264 time share units (over
13,000 intervals) and will be the first major hotel built in the City since the late
1980's. Based on the analysis of the developer's pro forma, the project had a
significant financing gap that could not be feasibly closed with private sector
financing. The factors contributing to the gap included increased site
development costs related to topography and off-site improvements, competitive
pressures on the hotel from other Valley hotels that have received subsidies,
the lack of a convenient golf amenity at the project site, and the seasonality of
the hotel industry in the desert. Through this DDA the Agency would acquire
the hotel site from the land seller for approximately $4.6 million using the
Developers' funds, convey the site to the Developer for$1.00, and then repay
the Developer for the loan, with interest, over a period of 18 years from tax
increment generated by both the hotel and time share components of the
project. The total present value of assistance amounts to $4.6 million. Land
write downs are one of the few of the ways an Agency can directly assist private
development.
BACKGROUND:
This action continues a public hearing that was opened on July 18, 2001 and
continued to September 5, 2001 and was further continued to September 19,
2001.
City Council approved the Star Canyon Resort project on May 17, 2000 by
adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration and approving Case 5.0830,
Preliminary Planned Development District 260 and Tentative Parcel Map 29691.
The project consisted of the hotel and vacation ownership units, as well as the
subdivision of the 11.41 acre project site into 9 parcels, subject to conditions.
The project is proposed to be developed in the following phases:
1. Phase 1 is the first 28 timeshare units, to be developed first,
along with all of the public infrastructure improvements and
project amenities, such as the pool area and water features.
2. Phase 2 is the 210 room hotel; plan check on this phase will
begin once the construction of Phase 1 commences.
3. Additional phases of the timeshare units will be added during
years one through five, up until a total of 264 units are
constructed.
Once he began to try to firm up funding commitments, the Developer came to
the Agency for financing assistance on the project. The Developer's financial
consultant, Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P., identified several factors in the
project financing that made the project difficult to finance:
1. Star Canyon does not have its own golf course.
2. The average daily rates (ADRs) of existing Palm Springs Hotels are
lower in Palm Springs than in other Coachella Valley cities such as
Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells, and Palm Desert.
3. The seasonality of Palm Springs and the entire Coachella Valley
substantially lowers occupancy levels and average daily rates.
4. The site location is not centralized to the Coachella Valley.
5. There are only one or two comparable hotels in Palm Springs.
6. Competition from "down Valley" cities is a serious threat.
Based on the original development pro formas, the Developer asked for
assistance in excess of$10 million in up-front assistance. Staff used Keyser
Marston &Associates (KMA) to analyze the developer's request; KMA reported
that, based on a gap of the size and percentage shown in the Developer's own
numbers, the project had a bigger problem than just a minor financing gap. The
Agency's informal guidelines for recommending assistance are that the amount
of gap financing should be marginal when compared to the project cost—the
original request, however, was for a significant percentage of the overall project
cost to be paid from public funds generated by the project.
In the end, the Agency and the Developer negotiated a much more modest
assistance package in line with the Agency's guidelines, but one that was
attractive enough to the debt and equity lenders that the project was able to
receive financing.

The Agency financial participation in the project is as follows:
1. The Developer would make a loan to the Agency of approximately $4.6
million, which would be repaid with interest to the Developer through the
net tax increment generated by both the hotel and time share component
of the project over a period of up to 18 years. The average interest rate
paid on the note, based on calculating the present value's relationship to
the payment stream, is 10.5%.
2. The developer commits to keeping the project as originally proposed and
approved, including the architectural upgrades, quality landscaping, and
other components.
3. The Agency would take title to the land from the seller for an amount of
approximately $4,600,000, including the Developer's carry costs. The
appraisal of the land shows the value to be in excess of$4.6 million.
4. The Agency agrees to contribute the land to the project when the project
is fully funded, permits have been obtained for the initial phase, and the
Developer is prepared to commence construction.
5. The Developer will construct the resort in phases, and receive repayment
of the Agency note through the tax increment of the project, net of pass-
throughs to other taxing agencies and housing setaside payments, over
18 years, with the present value of this contribution projected to be $4.6
million. (The annual value of projected assistance will rise from
$175,400 in Year 1 to $769,746 in Year 18, or$10.4 million over 18
years.)
6. The Agency would retain reverter rights if the Developer fails to proceed
or complete the project. Moreover, the Agency will suspend the
assistance payments under the note if the Developer fails to proceed or
defaults under the terms of the Agreement.
7. The Developer also agrees to place an additional fee on the time share
intervals, equal to $10 per full interval per year, payable through the
HOA payment. That fee would be paid to the City to offset a portion of
the TOT lost to the City by the rooms not being hotel rooms.
The project as proposed by the Developer is extremely attractive and would
provide an economic jump-start to the South Palm Canyon Drive area, which
has lagged behind the downtown and North Palm Canyon Drive areas in
revitalization. While this DDA commits all of the property tax increment from the
project to the loan repayment, it will spur additional development in the area that
would have not otherwise occurred, and developed a flow of TOT, sales taxes,
and in-lieu fees to the City with little "cannibalization" of existing Palm Springs
hoteliers by bringing in a brand new to Palm Springs as well as a product more
directly competitive with down Valley resorts than with Palm Springs hotels.

SUMMARY REPORT:
DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
BY AND BETWEEN
THE PALM SPRINGS COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
AND
SCHLPS, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company
SEPTEMBER 2001
INTRODUCTION
Before real property acquired by a Community Redevelopment Agency with tax increment
proceeds may be sold or leased, the transaction must be approved by the Agency Board in
accordance with California Health and Safety Code Section 33433. This Section requires a
"Summary Report", which describes and specifies certain information in regard to the proposed
transaction, be available for public inspection.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED AGREEMENT
Site and Interests to be Conveyed
The Site consists of a single parcel of land of approximately 11.41 acres, subdivided as part of
the development into 9 parcels. The Site is located on South Palm Canyon Drive between Sunny
Dunes Drive and Mesquite Drive and backs up to Belardo Road. The Developers of the Property,
SCHLPS, LLC,are seeking Agencyfinancial assistance in developing a proposed 210-room resort
hotel and 264 vacation ownership units. Part of the assistance will be that the Agency shall
purchase the land from the current owner and convey it back to the project when the project is
ready to proceed to the construction phase. The Developer will lend the Agency the funds to
complete the transaction,which the Agency shall repay over a period of 18 years to the Developer
through the tax increment the project has produced, including both the hotel and time share
portions.
Proposed Development
The Developer is building 210 luxury hotel rooms and 264 vacation ownership units on the 11.41
acre site, in addition to underground parking, water features and other site amenities, and
restaurants. The hotel will be a major brand, equivalent to Radisson or better. The time share
units will be sold in intervals and will be able to be divided into smaller configurations and fractional
shares to increase the total number of intervals available for sale. The project contains significant
architectural and landscaping upgrades as well significant off-site improvements. The project is
in an area that has lagged behind other areas of Palm Canyon Drive in new investment and will
provide a major economic boost to the area.
Financing
The Developer has received commitments of debt- and equity financing sufficient to ensure the
project will be built. Within the project financing structure is an equity gap of approximately$4.60
million, which will be covered by the amount of the Agency financial participation. The Agency's
percentage share of the overall project cost is approximately 6%and counts as Developer's equity
in the financing structure.
Agency Responsibilities
The Agency agrees to repay the Developerforthe$4,600,000 land acquisition costs, plus interest,
for a period of up to 18 years. The maximum amount paid over the period is $10.4 million. The
loan payment shall be made solely from the tax increment generated by the project; should a
portion of the project be undeveloped and the property tax increment not created, the Agency is
not obligated to pay non-project-based revenues to repay the note. All tax increment calculations
are net of pass-through obligations to other taxing entities, as well as the low/mod housing
setaside.
Developer Responsibilities
The developer commits to keeping the project as originally proposed, including the architectural
upgrades, quality landscaping, and other components. The Agency's standard terms and
conditions, including non-discrimination and maintenance covenants, and other terms and
conditions remain as in Disposition and Development Agreement for Developer.
COST OF AGREEMENT TO THE AGENCY
The Agency will commit an amount of up to $10,400,000 to the project from project-created tax
increment over a period of up to 18 years to repay a loan made by the Developer to the Agency
to execute the land sale from the Current Owner to the Agency. The present value of the
assistance, based on Year 2001 dollars, is approximately $4,600,000,

Closing, the proration shall be based upon the most current tax figures. When the actual taxes for
the year of Closing become known, Developer and Agency shall, within thirty days thereafter,
prorate the taxes in cash between the parties.
4.13 Termination of Escrow.
(a) Termination. This Agreement and the Escrow may be terminated
by demand of either party who then shall have fully performed its obligations hereunder if. (i) the
Developer's Conditions or Agency's Conditions, as the case may be, have not occurred or have
not been approved, disapproved, or waived as the case may be, by the approving party by the date
established herein for the occurrence of such condition, including any grace period pursuant to
this Section; (ii)Escrow is not in a position to close by the Closing Date, as the same may be
extended; or(iii) either party is in breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the
event of the foregoing, the terminating party may demand, in writing, return of its money, papers,
or documents from the Escrow Agent if Escrow has been opened, and shall deliver a copy of such
demand to the non-terminating party. No demand shall be recognized until fifteen(15) days after
such demand has been delivered to the non-terminating party, and no objections are raised in
writing to the terminating party and the Escrow Agent by the non-terminating party within the
fifteen (15) day period. In the event of such objections, the opportunity to cure shall be provided
as stated below in subsection (b) of this Section. In addition, the Escrow Agent is authorized to
hold all money, papers, and documents until instructed in writing by both Developer and Agency
or, upon failure thereof, by a court of competent jurisdiction. If no such demands are made, the
Closing shall occur as soon as possible and neither party shall have any further liability to the
other.
(b) Opportunity to Cure. In the event any of the Developer's
Conditions or Agency's Conditions are not satisfied, or waived by the party with the power to
approve said conditions (the "approving party"), then such party shall explain in writing to the
other party the reason for the disapproval or non-satisfaction. Thereafter, the party who has the
burden to satisfy such condition(s) shall have an additional niney (90) days to satisfy any such
condition(s) and only if such condition(s) still cannot be satisfied may the approving party
terminate this Agreement or the Escrow. In the event the Escrow is not in a condition to close
because of a default by any party, and the performing party has made demand as stated in
subsection(a), then upon the non-performing party's delivering its objection to Escrow Agent and
the performing party within the above fifteen (15) day period, the non-performing party shall have
the right to cure the default in accordance with and in the time provided in Section 8.2.
(c) Agency's Costs. Developer shall reimburse Agency for all costs
incurred by Agency with respect to any condemnation of the Site, whether or not the Site is
ultimately acquired as a result of the condemnation. Said costs shall include but not be limited to
attorneys fees, appraisers fees, soil consultants, etc. In the event escrow is terminated for any
reason, Escrow Holder shall not return any funds it holds until Agency has given written notice to
Escrow summarizing the amounts due to Agency hereunder. Thereafter, Escrow Holder shall
terminate the Escrow, and without further instructions deliver the costs demanded by Agency to
Agency from the Acquisition Fund and the balance, if any, shall be returned to Developer. In the
IRV 911003 vl -15 C m . a 10013
-
event this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Agency may elect to terminate any
condemnation proceeding and Agency shall retain such costs as Agency determines is required to
terminate the proceeding and to reimburse Agency for its costs and shall be returned the balance,
if any, of the Acquisition Fund to Developer and in the event additional sums are needed to fully
compensate the owner of the Site as well as to reimburse Agency's costs, Developer shall deliver
same to Agency within five (5) days of receipt of written notice.

notices, demands and communications between Agency and Developer.
(c) Sufficiency of Documents. The Escrow Agent is not to be
concerned with the sufficiency, validity, correctness of form, or content of any document prepared
outside of Escrow and delivered to Escrow. The sole duty of the Escrow Agent is to accept such
documents and follow Developer's and Agency's instructions for their use.
(d) Exculpation of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall in no case
or event be liable for the failure of any of the conditions to Closing, or for forgeries or false
impersonation, unless such liability or damage is the result of negligence or willful misconduct by
the Escrow Agent.
(e) Responsibilities in the Event of Controversies. If any controversy
documented in writing arises between Developer and Agency or with any third party with respect
to the subject matter of the Escrow or its terms or conditions, the Escrow Agent shall not be
required to determine the same, to return any money, papers or documents, or take any action
regarding the Site prior to settlement of the controversy by a final decision of a court of
competent jurisdiction or written agreement of the parties to the controversy. The Escrow Agent
shall be responsible for timely notifying Developer and Agency of the controversy. In the event of
such a controversy, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for interest or damage costs resulting
from failure to timely close the Escrow or take any other action unless such controversy has been
caused by the failure of the Escrow Agent to perform its responsibilities hereunder.
4.15 Brokerage Commissions. Each party agrees to indemnify and hold the
other harmless from and against all liabilities, costs, damages, and expenses, including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees, resulting from any claims or fees or commissions, based upon

the reason for the disapproval and the changes which the Agency requests to be made. After
Developer resubmits the corrected submittal, Agency shall have an additional thirty(30) days for
the review of the resubmittal but if the Agency disapproves the resubmittal, then the cycle shall

(e) Agency Assistance. Subject to Developer's compliance with(i)
applicable City and Agency development standards for the Site and (ii) all applicable laws and
regulations governing such matters as public hearings, site plan review and environmental review,
Agency agrees to provide reasonable assistance to Developer, at no cost to Agency, in the
expeditious processing of Developer's submittals required under this Agreement in order that
Developer may obtain a final City action on such matters on or before the date set forth in the
Schedule of Performance; provided that Agency does not warrant or represent that such approval
shall be obtained.
(f) Cost of Construction. Developer shall bear all costs of preparing
and developing the Project and constructing all improvements thereon, including, but not limited

and leasing commissions, and fees or charges for development and building, except for those
public improvements expressly set forth in the Scope of Development to be performed by Agency.
(g) Construction Schedule; Reports. Developer shall commence and
complete construction of the Project within the times set forth in the Schedule of Performance.

5.17 Sale or Transfer of the Project. The Developer covenants that
during the term of this Agreement and prior to the recordation of the Notice of Release of
Construction Covenants, Developer shall not assign this Agreement or transfer the Site or any of
its interests therein except as provided in this Section.
(a) Transfer Defined. As used in this Section, the term "Transfer" shalt
include any assignment, hypothecation, mortgage, pledge, conveyance, or encumbrance of this
Agreement, the Site, or the improvements thereon. A Transfer shall also include the transfer to
any person or group of persons acting in concert of more than twenty-five percent (25%) (in the
aggregate) of the present ownership and/or control of any person or entity constituting Developer
or its general partners, taking all transfers into account on a cumulative basis, except transfers of
such ownership or control interest between members of the same immediate family, or transfers to
a trust, testamentary or otherwise, in which the beneficiaries are limited to members of the
transferor's immediate family, or among the entities constituting Developer or its general partners
or their respective shareholders. In the event any entity constituting Developer, its successor or
the constituent partners of Developer or any successor of Developer, is a corporation or trust,
such transfer shall refer to the transfer of the issued and outstanding capital stock of such
corporation, or of beneficial interests of such trust; in the event that any entity constituting
Developer, its successor or the constituent partners of Developer or any successor of Developer is
a limited or general partnership, such transfer shall refer to the transfer of more than twenty-five
percent (25%) of such limited or general partnership interest; in the event that any entity
constituting Developer, its successor or the constituent partners of Developer or any successor of
Developer is a joint venture, such transfer shall refer to the transfer of more than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the ownership and/or control of any such joint venture partner, taking all trans-
fers into account on a cumulative basis.
(b) Agency Approval of Transfer Required. Developer shall not
Transfer this Agreement or any of Developer's rights hereunder, or any interest in the Site or in
the improvements thereon, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or by operation of law, without the
prior written approval of Agency, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, and any such
purported Transfer without such approval shall be null and void. In considering whether it will
grant approval to any Transfer by Developer, which Transfer requires Agency approval, Agency
shall consider factors such as (i) whether the completion of the Project is jeopardized; (ii) the
financial credit, strength and capability of the proposed transferee to perform Developer's
obligations hereunder; (iii) the proposed transferee's experience and expertise in the planning,
financing, rehabilitation, development, ownership, and operation of similar projects; and (iv)
whether the Transfer is for the purpose of financing the purchase or development of the Site. A
Transfer for financing purposes shall not be approved by the Agency if the loan documents do not
state that the loan proceeds must be used for the Project.
(c) Release; Assumption. In the absence of specific written agreement
by Agency, no Transfer by Developer of all or any portion of its interest in the Site shall be
deemed to relieve Developer or any successor party from the obligation to complete the Project
or any other obligations under this Agreement. In addition, no attempted Transfer of any of
Developer's obligations hereunder shall be effective unless and until the successor party executes
IRV 411003 vl _t 9_
om - &wJL7
and delivers to Agency an assumption agreement in a form approved by the Agency assuming
such obligations.
5.18 Insurance and Indemnification.

(iv) Builder's Risk Insurance. A policy of"builder's risk"
insurance covering the full replacement value of all of the improvements to be constructed by
Developer pursuant to this Agreement.

as additional insureds. The insurer shall waive all rights of subrogation and contribution it
may have against Agency, City, and their officers, employees and agents and their
respective insurers. All of said policies of insurance shall provide that said insurance may
not be amended or canceled without providing thirty (30) days prior written notice by
IRV#11003 vl _20_ ra
registered mail to Agency and City. In the event any of said policies of insurance are
canceled, the Developer shall, prior to the cancellation date, submit new evidence of
insurance in conformance with this Section to the Executive Director. No work or
services under this Agreement shall commence until the Developer has provided Agency
with Certificates of Insurance or appropriate insurance binders evidencing the above
insurance coverages and said Certificates of Insurance or binders are approved by Agency.
The policies of insurance required by this Agreement shall be satisfactory only if
issued by companies qualified to do business in California, rated "A" or better in the most
recent edition of Best Rating Guide, The Kev Rating Guide or in the Federal Register, and
only if they are of a financial category Class VII or better, unless such requirements are
waived by the Risk Manager of the City ("Risk Manager") due to unique circumstances.
Developer shall provide in all contracts with contractors, subcontractors,
architects, and engineers that said contractor, subcontractor, architect, or engineer shall
maintain the same policies of insurance required to be maintained by Developer pursuant
to this Section, unless waived by the Risk Manager of Agency.
The Developer agrees that the provisions of this Section shall not be construed as
limiting in any way the extent to which the Developer may be held responsible for the
payment of damages to any persons or property resulting from the Developer's activities
or the activities of any person or persons for which the Developer is otherwise
responsible.
(b) Indemnification. During the period of any construction of the
improvements pursuant to this Agreement and until such time as is issued a Notice of Release of
Construction Covenants for the Project, Developer agrees to and shall indemnify and hold the
Agency and the City harmless from and against all liability, loss, damage, cost, or expense
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising from or as a result of the death of
any person or any accident, injury, loss, or damage whatsoever caused to any person or to the
property of any person which shall occur on the Site and which shall be directly or indirectly
caused by the acts done thereon or any errors or omissions of the Developer or its agents,
servants, employees, or contractors. Developer shall not be responsible for (and such indemnity
shall not apply to) any acts, errors, or omissions of the Agency or the City or their respective
agents, servants, employees, or contractors. Agency and City shall not be responsible for any
acts, errors, or omissions of any person or entity except Agency and City and their respective
agents, servants, employees, or contractors, subject to any and all statutory and other immunities.
The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
5.19 Rights of Access. Representatives of the Agency shall have the reasonable
right of access to the Site without charges or fees, at any time during normal construction hours
during the period of construction, for the purpose of assuring compliance with this Agreement,
including but not limited to the inspection of the construction work being performed by or on
behalf of Developer. Such representatives of Agency shall be those who are so identified in
writing by the Executive Director of Agency. Each such representative of Agency shall identify
IRV#11003 v1 _21_ r r&a
aS a9
himself or herself at the job site office upon his or her entrance to the Site, and shall provide
Developer, or the construction superintendent or similar person in charge on the Site, a
reasonable opportunity to have a representative accompany him or her during the inspection.
Agency shall indemnify, defend, and hold Developer harmless from any injury or property damage
caused or liability arising out of Agency's exercise of this right of access.
5.20 Taxes and Assessments and Liens. Developer shall pay, when due, all real
estate taxes and assessments assessed or levied subsequent to conveyance of title. Developer
shall remove or have removed any levy or attachment made on the Site, or assure the satisfaction
thereof, within a reasonable time, but in any event prior to a sale thereunder. Nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to prohibit Developer from contesting the validity or amounts of any
tax, assessment, encumbrance or lien, nor to limit the remedies available to Developer in respect
thereto.
5.21 Antidiscrimination During Construction. Developer, for himself and his
successors and assigns, agrees that in the construction of the improvements to be constructed by
Developer, it shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of
race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, ancestry or national origin.
5.22 Easements. Developer shall grant to Agency and City all necessary and
appropriate easements for development of public improvements consistent with the approved
Project plans, including but not limited to streets, rights of vehicular access, sidewalks, sewers,
storm drains, and water improvements.
5.23 Notice of Release of Construction Covenants. Upon written request by
Developer, and upon satisfactory completion of the Project, Agency shall issue to Developer a
Notice of Release of Construction Covenants. The Notice of Release of Construction Covenants
shall be, and shall so state, a conclusive determination of satisfactory completion of the Project
required by this Agreement, and a full compliance with the terms of this Agreement relating to
commencement and completion of the Project. After the date Developer is entitled to issuance of
the Notice of Release of Construction Covenants, and notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, any party then owning or thereafter purchasing, leasing or otherwise
acquiring any interest in the Site shall not (because of any such ownership, purchase, lease, or
acquisition) incur any obligation or liability under this Agreement, except that such party shall be
bound by the covenants that survive the issuance of the Notice of Release of Construction
Covenants, as set forth in the Declaration. The Notice of Release of Construction Covenants is
not a notice of completion as referred to in California Civil Code section 3093.
If Agency refuses or fails to furnish a Notice of Release of Construction Covenants after
written request from Developer, Agency shall, within ten (10) days of the written request, provide
the Developer a written statement of the reasons Agency refused or failed to furnish a Notice of
Release of Construction Covenants. The statement shall also contain the Agency's opinion of the
action Developer must take to obtain a Notice of Release of Construction Covenants. If the
Agency shall have failed to provide such written statement within said ten (10) day period,
Developer shall be deemed entitled to the Notice of Release of Construction Covenants. If
IRV 911003 vI -22- 30
Agency refuses or fails to furnish the Notice of Release of Construction Covenants for the reason
that specific items or materials are not available or landscaping is not complete and the cost
thereof is less than ten percent (10%) of the cost of total consideration, Agency shall issue the
Notice of Release of Construction Covenants upon the posting by Developer with Agency of a
cash deposit, bond or irrevocable letter of credit (in a form acceptable to Agency) in an amount
representing one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the fair value of the work not yet completed.
5.24 Rights of Holders of Approved Security Interests in Site.
(a) Definitions. As used in this Section, the term "mortgage" shall
include any mortgage, whether a leasehold mortgage or otherwise, deed of trust, or other security
interest, or sale and lease-back, or any other form of conveyance for financing. The term "holder"
shall include the holder of any such mortgage, deed of trust, or other security interest, or the
lessor under a lease-back, or the grantee under any other conveyance for financing. The Agency
may not be unreasonably withhold approval of any conveyance for financing submitted by
Developer for approval hereunder.
(b) Limitation on Encumbrances. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, Developer shall not mortgage the Site or the Project or any
portion thereof or any interest therein, or enter into any other form of conveyance for financing
prior to the date that Developer has acquired fee title to the entire Site. Subsequent to or
concurrently with Developer's acquisition of fee title to the entire Site, mortgages required for any
reasonable method of financing of the construction of the improvements or acquisition of the Site
are permitted before issuance of a Notice of Release of Construction Covenants but only for the
purpose of securing loans of funds used or to be used for financing the acquisition of the Site, for
the construction of improvements thereon, and for any other expenditures necessary and
appropriate to develop the Site under this Agreement, or for restructuring or refinancing any of
same, so long as the refinancing does not exceed the then outstanding balance of the existing
financing, including any additional costs for completion of construction, whether direct or
indirect, based upon the estimates of architects and/or contractors. The Developer shall notify
the Agency in advance of any mortgage, if the Developer or such entity proposes to enter into the
same before issuance of the Notice of Release of Construction Covenants. The Developer or
such entity shall not enter into any such conveyance for financing without the prior written
approval of the Agency as provided in Section 5.2. Any lender approved by the Agency pursuant
to Section 5.2 shall not be bound by any material amendment, implementation, or modification to
this Agreement subsequent to the recordation of its mortgage without such lender giving its prior
written consent thereto. In any event, the Developer shall promptly notify the Agency of any
mortgage, encumbrance, or lien that has been created or attached thereto prior to issuance of a
Notice of Release of Construction Covenants, whether by voluntary act of the Developer or
otherwise.
(c) Developer's Breach Not Defeat Mortgage Lien. Developer's breach
of any of the covenants or restrictions contained in this Agreement shall not defeat or render
invalid the lien of any mortgage permitted pursuant to subsection (b) above and made in good
faith and for value as to the Site, or any part thereof or interest therein, but unless otherwise
IRv#11003 vi -23-
C �G . CL- r
provided herein, the terms, conditions, covenants, restrictions, easements, and reservations of this
Agreement shall be binding and effective against the holder of any such mortgage of the Site
whose interest is acquired by foreclosure, trustee's sale or otherwise.
(d) Holder Not Obligated to Construct or Complete Improvements.
The holder of any mortgage shall in no way be obligated by the provisions of this Agreement to
construct or complete the improvements or to guarantee such construction or completion.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to permit or authorize any such holder to
devote the Site or any portion thereof to any uses, or to construct any improvements thereon,
other than those uses or improvements provided for or authorized by this Agreement.
(e) Notice of Default to Mortgagee, Deed of Trust or Other Security
Interest Holders. Whenever Agency shall deliver any notice or demand to Developer with respect
to any breach or default by Developer hereunder, Agency shall at the same time deliver a copy of
such notice or demand to each holder of record of any mortgage who has previously made a
written request to Agency therefor, or to the representative of such lender as may be identified in
such a written request by the lender. No notice of default shall be effective as to the holder unless
such notice is given.
(f) Right to Cure. Each holder (insofar as the rights of Agency are
concerned) shall have the right, at its option, within ninety (90) days after the receipt of the
notice, to:
(i) Obtain possession, if necessary, and to commence and
diligently pursue said cure until the same is completed, and
(ii) Add the cost of said cure to the security interest debt and
the lien or obligation on its security interest; provided that in the case of a default which cannot
with diligence be remedied or cured within such ninety (90) day period, such holder shall have
additional time as reasonably necessary to remedy or cure such default.
In the event there is more than one such holder, the right to cure or remedy a breach or
default of Developer under this Section shall be exercised by the holder first in priority or as the
holders may otherwise agree among themselves, but there shall be only one exercise of such right
to cure and remedy a breach or default of Developer under this Section.
No holder shall undertake or continue the construction or completion of the improvements
(beyond the extent necessary to preserve or protect the improvements or construction already
made) without first having expressly assumed Developer's obligations to Agency by written
agreement satisfactory to Agency with respect to the Site or any portion thereof in which the
holder has an interest. The holder must agree to complete, in the manner required by this
Agreement, the improvements to which the lien or title of such holder relates, and submit
evidence satisfactory to the Agency that it has the qualifications and financial responsibility
necessary to perform such obligations. Any holder properly completing such improvements shall
IRV 411003 v1 -24-
r� 6CL .
be entitled, upon written request made to Agency, to a Notice of Release of Construction
Covenants from Agency.
(g) Agency's Rights upon Failure of Holder to Complete
Improvements. In any case where one hundred eighty (180) days after default by Developer in
completion of construction of improvements under this Agreement, the holder of any mortgage
creating a lien or encumbrance upon the Site or improvements thereon has not exercised the
option to construct afforded in this Section or if it has exercised such option and has not
proceeded diligently with construction, Agency may, after ninety(90) days' notice to such holder
and if such holder has not exercised such option to construct within said ninety(90) day period,
purchase the mortgage (or the fee interest if the holder has foreclosed), upon payment to the
holder of an amount equal to the sum of the following:
(i) The unpaid mortgage, debt plus any accrued and unpaid
interest (less all appropriate credits, including those resulting from collection and application of
rentals and other income received during foreclosure proceedings, if any);
(ii) All expenses, incurred by the holder with respect to
foreclosure, if any;
(iii) The net expenses (exclusive of general overhead), incurred
by the holder as a direct result of the ownership or management of the Site, such as insurance
premiums or real estate taxes, if any;
(iv) The costs of any improvements made by such holder, if any;
and
(v) 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
debt and such debt had continued in existence to the date of payment by the Agency.
In the event that the holder does not exercise its option to construct afforded in this
Section, and Agency elects not to purchase the mortgage of holder, upon written request by the
holder to Agency, Agency agrees to use reasonable efforts to assist the holder selling the holder's
interest to a qualified and responsible party or parties (as determined by Agency), who shall
assume the obligations of making or completing the improvements required to be constructed by
Developer, or such other improvements in their stead as shall be satisfactory to Agency. The
proceeds of such a sale shall be applied first to the holder of those items specified in
subparagraphs (a) through (e) herein-above, and any balance remaining thereafter shall be applied
as follows:
(i) First, to reimburse Agency, on its own behalf and on behalf
of the City, for all costs and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Agency, including but
not limited to payroll expenses, management expenses, legal expenses, and others.
(ii) Second, to reimburse Agency, on its own behalf and on
behalf of the City, for all payments made by Agency to discharge any other encumbrances or liens
IRV#11003 vl -25-
Co raw 6a - 33
on the Site or to discharge or prevent from attaching or being made any subsequent encumbrances
or liens due to obligations, defaults, or acts of Developer, its successors or transferees.
(iii) Third, to reimburse Agency, on its own behalf and on behalf
of the City, for all costs and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Agency, in connection
with its efforts assisting the holder in selling the holder's interest in accordance with this Section.
(iv) Fourth, any balance remaining thereafter shall be paid to
Developer.
(h) Right of Agency to Cure Mortgage, Deed of Trust or Other
Security Interest Default. In the event of a default or breach by Developer(or entity permitted to
acquire title under this Section) of a mortgage prior to the issuance by Agency of a Notice of
Release of Construction Covenants for the Site or portions thereof covered by said mortgage, and
the holder of any such mortgage has not exercised its option to complete the development,
Agency may cure the default prior to completion of any foreclosure. In such event, Agency shall
be entitled to reimbursement from Developer or other entity of all costs and expenses incurred by
Agency in curing the default, to the extent permitted by law, as if such holder initiated such claim
for reimbursement, including legal costs and attorneys' fees, which right of reimbursement shall be
secured by a lien upon the Site, with power of sale, to the extent of such costs and disbursements.
Any such lien shall be subject to:
(i) Any mortgage for financing permitted by this Agreement;
and
(ii) Any rights or interests provided in this Agreement for the
protection of the holders of such mortgages for financing; provided that nothing herein shall be
deemed to impose upon Agency any affirmative obligations (by the payment of money,
construction or otherwise) with respect to the Site in the event of its enforcement of its lien.
Agency may enforce its lien pursuant to the provisions of Section 2924 et seq. of the California
Civil Code.
(i) Right of the Agency to Satisfy Other Liens on the Property After
Conveyance of Title. After the conveyance of title and prior to the recordation of a Notice of
Release of Construction Covenants for construction and development, and after the Developer
has had a reasonable time to challenge, cure, or satisfy any liens or encumbrances on the Site or
any portion thereof, the Agency shall have the right to satisfy any such liens or encumbrances;
provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the Developer to pay or make
provision for the payment of any tax, assessment, lien or charge so long as the Developer in good
faith shall contest the validity or amount thereof, and so long as such delay in payment shall not
subject the Site or any portion thereof to forfeiture or sale. Agency shall have the right to
reimbursement from Developer for any amount expended pursuant to this Section, which right of
reimbursement shall be secured by a lien on the Site, with power of sale, as provided in the
Declaration.

6. AGENCY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. In consideration of Developer's
performance of its obligations hereunder and provided that Developer has not materially defaulted
in any of the terms, conditions, covenants and obligations of Developer under this Agreement, the
Deed, the Declaration or any other document incorporated herein by reference (and/or cured all
such material defaults in the manner provided hereunder,), Agency agrees to pay to Developer in
annual installments the sum of the (i) Agency Acquisition Costs, and (ii) the purchase price of the
Site (whether paid pursuant to a negotiated purchase or through eminent domain), less any funds
paid by Agency for the acquisition or disposition of the Site which were not reimbursed by
Developer to Agency("Agency Financial Assistance"); All sums and amounts specified in and
pursuant to the Promissory Note attached as Exhibit hereto, and pursuant to the terms
and conditions thereof, including, but not limited to, the "Accelerated Property Tax Increment
Sharing Proposals" specified therein.
7. USE OF THE SITE.
7.25 Use of the Site. Developer hereby covenants and agrees, for itself and its
successors and assigns, to use and maintain the Site pursuant to the terms of the Deed, the
Declaration and the Redevelopment Plan. Developer shall have sole and exclusive responsibility
and financial liability for any and all construction or works of improvement on the Site as may be
necessary in order to use the Site for the Project.
7.26 No Inconsistent Uses. Developer covenants and agrees that it shall not
devote the Site to uses inconsistent with the Redevelopment Plan, the applicable zoning
restrictions, this Agreement, or the Declaration.
7.27 Obligation to Refrain from Discrimination. Except as specifically
provided in the Declaration with respect to renting the units within the Project to Senior Citizens,
as such term is defined therein, there shall be no discrimination against, or segregation of, any
persons, or group of persons, on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, age,
physical or mental disability, ancestry, or national origin in the rental, sale, lease, sublease,
transfer, use, occupancy, or enjoyment of the Site, or any portion thereof, nor shall Developer, or
any person claiming under or through Developer, 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 or any portion
thereof. The nondiscrimination and nonsegregation covenants contained herein and in the Deed
shall remain in effect in perpetuity.
7.28 Effect of Covenants. Agency is deemed a beneficiary of the terms and
provisions of this Agreement and of the restrictions and covenants running with the land, whether
or not appearing in the Deed or the Declaration for and in its own right and for the purposes of
protecting the interests of the community in whose favor and for whose benefit the covenants
running with the land have been provided. The covenants in favor of the Agency shall run
without regard to whether Agency has been, remains or is an owner of any land or interest therein
in the Site, or in the Project Area, and shall be effective as both covenants and equitable
servitudes against the Site. Agency shall have the right, if any of the covenants set forth in this
IRV 411003 v1 -27- era
S dt- Wr
Agreement which are provided for its benefit 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 may be entitled. With the exception of the City, no other
person or entity shall have any right to enforce the terms of this Agreement under a theory of
third-party beneficiary or otherwise. The covenants running with the land and their duration are
set forth in the Deed and the Declaration.
8. ENFORCEMENT.
8.1 Defaults, Right to Cure and Waivers. Subject to any Enforced Delay,
failure or delay by either party to timely perform any covenant of this Agreement constitutes a
default under this Agreement, but only if the party who so fails or delays does not commence to
cure, correct or remedy such failure or delay within ninety(90) days after receipt of a written
notice specifying such failure or delay, and does not thereafter prosecute such cure, correction or
remedy with diligence to completion.
The injured party shall give written notice of default to the party in default, specifying the
default complained of by the injured party. Except as required to protect against further damages,
the injured party may not institute proceedings against the party in default until thirty (30) days
after giving such notice. Failure or delay in giving such notice shall not constitute a waiver of any
default, nor shall it change the time of default.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, waiver by either party of the
performance of any covenant, condition, or promise, shall not invalidate this Agreement, nor shall
it be considered a waiver of any other covenant, condition, or promise. Waiver by either party of
the time for performing any act shall not constitute a waiver of time for performing any other act
or an identical act required to be performed at a later time. The delay or forbearance by either
party in exercising any remedy or right as to any default shall not operate as a waiver of any
default or of any rights or remedies or to deprive 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.
8.2 Legal Actions.
(a) Institution of Legal Actions. In addition to any other rights or
remedies, and subject to the requirements of Section 7.1, either party may institute legal or
equitable action 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. Actions must be
instituted and maintained in the Superior Court of the County of Riverside, State of California, in
any other appropriate court in that county, or in the Federal District Court in the Central District
of California.
(b) Applicable Law and Forum. The laws of the State of California
shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement.
IRV 411003 v1 -28- CM lb
M , a i 3(40
(c) Acceptance of Service of Process. In the event that any legal action
is commenced by Developer against Agency, service of process on Agency shall be made by
personal service upon the Executive Director or Secretary of Agency, or in such other manner as
may be provided by law. In the event that any legal action is commenced by Agency against
Developer, service of process on Developer shall be made in such manner as may be provided by
law and shall be valid whether made within or without the State of California.
8.3 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 its rights or remedies shall not preclude the 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.
8.4 Specific Performance. In addition to any other remedies permitted by this
Agreement, if either party defaults hereunder by failing to perform any of its obligations herein,
each party agrees that the other shall be entitled to the judicial remedy of specific performance,
and each party agrees (subject to its reserved right to contest whether in fact a default does exist)
not to challenge or contest the appropriateness of such remedy. In this regard, Developer
specifically acknowledges that Agency is entering into this Agreement for the purpose of assisting
in the redevelopment of the Site and not for the purpose of enabling Developer to speculate with
land.
8.5 Attorney's Fees. If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or
defend any action or proceeding in any way arising out of the parties' agreement to, or
performance of, this Agreement, or is made a party to any such action or proceeding by the
Escrow Agent or other third party, such that the parties hereto are adversarial, the prevailing
party, as between the Developer and Agency only, in such action or proceeding, in addition to any
other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable
attorney's fees from the other. As used herein, the "prevailing party" shall be the party determined
as such by a court of law, pursuant to the definition Code of Civil Procedure Section 1032(a)(4),
as it may be subsequently amended. Attorney's fees shall include attorney's fees on any appeal,
and in addition a party entitled to attorney's fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for
investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs the court
allows which are incurred in such litigation. All such fees shall be deemed to have accrued on
commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted
to judgment.

or the alleged absence of favorable market conditions for such uses. Times of performance under
this Agreement may also be extended by mutual written agreement by Agency and Developer.

the Net Property Tax Increment will be calculated shall be the assessed value of the Site as of the
date the Site is conveyed to Developer [as determined by the Riverside County Assessor based
upon the change in ownership of the Site from the current owner to Developer], rather than the
assessed value of the Site upon the adoption of the Redevelopment Plan), less the sum of(i)
twenty percent (20%) of the foregoing amount, which the Agency is required to set aside for
affordable housing purposes pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 33334.2 et
seq.; (ii) the percentage of Agency property tax increment revenues attributable to the Project
Area payable to other taxing entities under applicable "pass through" agreements; (iii) the
percentage of Agency property tax increment revenues attributable to the Project Area which the
Agency is required to set aside, pay or transfer to or for the benefit of any other taxing entity or
purpose pursuant to any existing or future requirement of law, including, but not limited to,
payments to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund, if payments were required to be made,
and to the County of Riverside for administrative fees or charges.
e. Payment Date. Payments of Net Property Tax Increment shall be
made annually on or before July 31 of each year after the recordation of the Notice of Release of
Construction Covenants.
f. Conditions to Disbursement. Disbursement of Net Property Tax
Increment to Developer shall be expressly conditioned upon the following:
0 Developer shall not be in default of any material term,
condition, covenant or obligation to be performed by Developer under this Agreement, the
C rQ - a- y?

reference (or failed to timely cure such default), and no event shall have occurred which
with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both would constitute a default hereunder

that Developer has timely paid the property taxes owing with respect to the Site for all
previous fiscal years, which evidence may include a copy of Developer's tax bill and
canceled check(s);

for the tax year in which the payment is to be made or any previous tax year;

Agency may deliver a notice of default to Developer, which notice of default shall effect a
cancellation and termination of this Note upon delivery of such notice of default to Developer. Upon
delivery of such notice of default,Agency shall have no further obligation to make any payment under
this Note, and Developer shall cancel this Note and return the original hereof to Agency within five
(5) days of its receipt of such notice of default. In the event that the Project ceases operation as a
result of a casualty which affects performance of the Use Covenants, all obligations of Agency to
make the Yearly Assistance Payment under this Note shall cease until operation of the Project on the
Site has resumed.
5. Additional Terms.

violation of the terms and conditions of this Deed and the Declaration (unless expressly waived in
writing by Grantor) for the term of the Redevelop Plan; provided that, however, the covenants
contained in Sections 6 and 7 shall remain in effect in perpetuity.
3. Right of Re-Entry Prior to Completion. The Grantee covenants by and for itself and
any successors in interest that the Grantor shall have the additional right, at its option,to reenter and
take possession of the Site hereby conveyed,with all improvements thereon,and revest in the Grantor

(a) Fail to proceed with the construction of the Project as required by the DDA
within the time period for cure as provided in the DDA; or
(b) Abandon or substantially suspend construction of the Project as required by
the DDA, and fail to proceed within the time period for cure as provided in the DDA; or
(c) Transfer, or suffer any involuntary transfer of the Site, or any part thereof, in
violation of the DDA.
Such right to reenter, repossess and revest shall be subordinate and subject to and be limited
by and shall not defeat, render invalid or limit:
(d) Any mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument for the benefit of any
lender approved by the Agency pursuant to the DDA and/or Section 6 below;
(e) Any rights or interests provided in the DDA for the protection of the holder of
such mortgages, deeds of trust or other security instruments.

reconveying the Site to Grantor.
4. Reservation of Existing Streets. Grantor excepts and reserves any existing street,
proposed street, or portion of any street or proposed street lying outside the boundaries of the Site
which might otherwise pass with a conveyance of the Site.
S. Transfer Restrictions. The Grantee covenants prior to the recordation ofthe Notice of
Release of Construction Covenants against the Site, Grantee shall not Transfer (as hereinafter
defined) the DDA, the Site or any of its interests therein except as provided in this Section.
(a) Transfer Defined. As used in this Section, the term "Transfer" shall include
any assignment, hypothecation, mortgage, pledge, conveyance, or encumbrance of this
Agreement, the Site, or the improvements thereon. A Transfer shall also include the transfer
to any person or group of persons acting in concert of more than twenty-five percent(25%)
(in the aggregate)of the present ownership and/or control of any person or entity constituting
Grantee or its general partners,taking all transfers into account on a cumulative basis, except
transfers of such ownership or control interest between members of the same immediate
family, or transfers to a trust,testamentary or otherwise, in which the beneficiaries are limited
to members of the transferor's immediate family, or among the entities constituting Grantee or
its general partners or their respective shareholders. In the event any entity constituting
Grantee, its successor or the constituent partners of Grantee or any successor of Grantee,is a
corporation or trust, such transfer shall refer to the transfer of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of such corporation, or of beneficial interests of such trust;in the event that any
entity constituting Grantee, its successor or the constituent partners of Grantee or any
successor of Grantee is a limited or general partnership, such transfer shall refer to the trans-
fer of more than twenty-five percent(25%) of such limited or general partnership interest;in

venture partner, taking all transfers into account on a cumulative basis.
(b) Grantor Approval of Transfer Required. During the term of the Declaration,

in the Site or in the improvements thereon, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or by operation
of law without the prior written approval of Grantor, which approval may not be
unreasonably withheld, and any such purported Transfer without such approval shall be null
and void. In considering whether it will grant approval to any Transfer by Grantee, which
Transfer requires Grantor approval, Grantor shall consider factors such as (i) whether the
completion of the Project is jeopardized; (ii)the financial credit, strength and capability ofthe
proposed transferee to perform Grantee's obligations hereunder; (iii)the proposed transferee's
experience and expertise in the planning, financing, rehabilitation, development, ownership,
and operation of similar projects; and(iv)whether the Transfer is for the purpose of financing
the purchase or rehabilitation of the Site. A Transfer for financing purposes shall not be
approved by the Grantor if the loan documents do not state that the loan proceeds must be
used for the Project.
(c) Release;Assumption. In the absence of specific written agreement by Grantor
no Transfer by Grantee of all or any portion of its interest in the Site shall be deemed to
relieve Grantee or any successor party from the obligation to complete the Project or any
other obligations under this Deed. In addition, no attempted Transfer of any of Grantee's
obligations hereunder shall be effective unless and until the successor party executes and
delivers to Grantor an assumption agreement in a form approved by the Grantor assuming
such obligations.
6. Non-Discrimination. Grantee covenants that there shall be no discrimination against,
or segregation of, any persons, or group of persons, on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex,
marital status, age, physical or mental disability, ancestry, or national origin in the rental, sale, lease,
sublease, transfer,use, occupancy, or enjoyment of the Site, or any portion thereof,nor shall Grantee,
or any person claiming under or through Grantee, establish or permit any such practice or practices of
discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection,location, number,use, or occupancy of
CMUP OW M
tenants, lessees, subtenants, sublessees, or vendees of the Site or any portion thereof. The
nondiscrimination and nonsegregation covenants contained herein shall remain in effect in perpetuity.

the Declaration with respect to renting the units within the Project to Senior Citizens, as such term is
defined therein, Grantee shall refrain from restricting the rental, sale, or lease of any portion of the
Site on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, age, physical or mental disability,
ancestry, or national origin of any person. All such deeds, leases, or contracts shall contain or be

disability, ancestry, or national origin in the sale, lease, rental, sublease, transfer, use, occu-
pancy, tenure, or enjoyment of the land herein conveyed, nor shall the grantee itself, or any

of Grantee to the Site shall be bound by such remaining covenants, conditions,restrictions,limitations
and provisions,whether such successor's title was acquired by foreclosure,deed in lieu of foreclosure,
trustee's sale or otherwise.
9. Covenants to Run With the Land. The covenants contained in this Deed shall be
construed as covenants running with the land and not as conditions which might result in forfeiture of

interest shall be fee, easement, leasehold, beneficial or otherwise.
C. ��
10. Rights Upon Default.
(a) Rights of Holder ofMortaage to Cure. Whenever Grantor shall deliver any
notice or demand to the Grantee with respect to any breach or default by the Grantee under
the DDA or the Declaration, Grantor shall at the same time deliver to each holder of record of
any mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest and the lessor under a lease-back or
grantee under any other conveyance for financing authorized by and approved by Grantor
pursuant to the DDA, a copy of such notice or demand. Each such holder (insofar as the
rights of the Grantor are concerned) has the right at its option within ninety(90) days after
the receipt of the notice, to cure or remedy, or to commence to cure or remedy, any such
default and to add the cost thereof to the security interest debt and the lien on its security
interest, or to the obligations of the lessee under any lease-back, or of the grantor under any
other conveyance for financing. If such default shall be a default which can only be remedied
or cured by such holder upon obtaining possession, such holder shall seek to obtain
possession with diligence or continuity through a receiver or otherwise, and shall remedy or
cure such default within ninety(90)days after obtaining possession;provided that in the case
of a default which cannot with diligence be remedied or cured, or the remedy or cure ofwhich
cannot be commenced,within such 90-day period, such holder shall have such additional time
as reasonably necessary to remedy or cure such default with diligence and continuity; and
provided further that such holder shall not be required to remedy or cure any noncurable
default of the Grantee. Nothing contained in the DDA or this Deed shall be deemed to permit
or authorize such holder or other entity to undertake or continue the construction or
completion of the improvements (beyond the extent necessary to conserve or protect the
improvements or construction already made) without first having expressly assumed the
Grantee's obligation (with respect to the Site or any portion thereof on which the holder or
other entity has an interest)to the Grantor by written agreement satisfactory to Grantor. The
holder or other entity in that event must agree to complete, in the manner provided in the
DDA,the improvements to which the lien or title of such holder relates, and submit evidence
satisfactory to Grantor that it has the qualifications and financial responsibility necessary to
perform such obligations. Any such holder or other entity properly completing such
improvements shall be entitled, upon written request made to the Grantor, to a Notice of
Release of Construction Covenants from the Grantor with respect to such improvements.
(b) Grantor's Right to Purchase Mortgaize. In any case where,six(6)months after
default by the Grantee in completion of construction of improvements under the DDA, the
holder of any mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest creating a lien or encumbrance
upon the Site, or the lessor under a sale/lease-back, or grantee under any other conveyance
for financing of the Site or any portion thereof approved by Grantor pursuant to the DDA,
has not exercised the option to construct, or if it has exercised the option but has not
proceeded diligently with construction, Grantor may either: (1)purchase the mortgage,deed
of trust or other security interest, or the interest of any such lessor or grantee,by payment to
the holder of the amount of the unpaid debt, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, or, in the
case of such lessor or grantee,by payment to such lessor or grantee of the purchase price paid
for its interest in any of the Site (or any portion thereof) and the improvements to be
constructed thereon, and any unpaid rent or other charges payable to it under its applicable
agreements with its lessee or grantor; or (2) if the ownership of the Site (or any portion
thereof)has vested in the holder, purchase from the holder such interest,upon payment to the
holder of an amount equal to the sum indebtedness secured by such mortgage.
(c) Grantor's Right to Cure Default. In the event of a default or breach by the
Grantee (or entity permitted to acquire title under the DDA) of a mortgage, deed of trust or
other security instrument, of a lease-back, or of obligations of the Grantee under any other
conveyance for financing with respect to the Site, or any portion thereof prior to the
completion of development of improvements thereon, and the holder has not exercised its
option to complete the development,the Grantor may cure the default prior to completion of
any foreclosure, to termination of the lease, or to completion of proceedings by which such
other security interest is retained or granted back. In such event,the Grantor shall be entitled
to reimbursement from Grantee (or such other entity permitted to acquire title under the
DDA) of all costs and expenses incurred by the Grantor in curing the default, to the extent
permitted by law as if such holder initiated such claim for reimbursement. Grantor shall be
entitled to a lien upon the Site(or any portion thereof)encumbered by the security instrument
with respect to which Grantee(or such other entity permitted to acquire title under the DDA)
has defaulted to the extent of such costs and disbursements. Any such lien shall be subject to
mortgages, deeds of trust, or other security instruments and the interest of lessors under any
leases-back and grantees under other conveyances for financing executed for the sole purpose
of obtaining funds to purchase and/or develop the Site(or any portion thereof), to construct
the improvements thereon, and to finance such costs and to pay all costs reasonably related to
the Grantee's obtaining and performing this Agreement.
(d) Grantor's Right to Satisfv Liens. After the conveyance of title and prior to the
recordation of a Notice of Release of Construction Covenants for construction and
development, and after the Grantee had a reasonable time to challenge, cure or satisfy any
liens or encumbrances on the Site or any portion thereof, the Grantor shall have the right to
satisfy any such liens or encumbrances.
11. Counterparts. This Deed may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.
IN WITNESS WIIEREOF, Grantor and Grantee have caused this instrument to be executed
on their behalf by their respective officers or agents hereunto as of the date first above written.

the City. That portion of the Agency's or City's interest in real property most directly affected by this
Agreement is depicted in Exhibit "2" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference("Public
Parcel").
D. The purpose of the Redevelopment Plan is to remedy and alleviate blighted conditions
associated with undeveloped and unproductive land, inadequate street and circulation systems,
unsuitable land mixes, inadequate or total lack of public street improvements, and the existence of
substandard and incompatible uses and structures. The redevelopment and restriction of the Site in
accordance with the Redevelopment Plan will promote the utility and value of the Site and of the
Project Area, for the benefit of its future owners and the entire city.
E. Pursuant to the Redevelopment Plan, the parties entered into the DDA which places
certain restrictions on the Site. Pursuant to Developer's development requirements, the City has
approved or will approve a site plan for the development of the Project, as that term is defined in the
DDA, on the Site ("Site Plan"), which places certain restrictions on the Site. Said Redevelopment

restrictions, and reservations as provided herein.
G. In further consideration for the Agency Financial Assistance and Agency Assistance

the DDA, and development approvals provided to Declarant by City, Declarant agrees to impose
upon all timeshare units a$10.00 per interval per year fee in-lieu of the transfer occupancy tax lost by

City would otherwise collect transfer occupancy tax and pay such in-lieu fees to the City.
H. Declarant desires to establish and grant certain covenants, conditions and restrictions
upon the property for the benefit of the Agency and the City and their respective successors and
assigns for the purpose of enhancing and protecting the value, desirability and attractiveness of the
Site and effectuating the Redevelopment Plan. Such covenants, conditions and restrictions shall run

provided in Section 3.3 below. Such lien shall be for the use and benefit of the person filing the same,
and may be enforced and foreclosed in a suit or action brought in any court of competent jurisdiction.

actions concurrently or separately(and by exercising either of the remedies set forth below shall not
prejudice or waive its rights to exercise the remedy): (i)bring an action at law against the defaulting
party personally obligated to pay such lien or(ii)foreclose such lien in accordance with the provisions
of Section 2924 of the California Civil Code applicable to the exercise of powers of sale or mortgages
and deeds of trust, or any other manner permitted by California law.
Upon the timely curing of any default for which such lien was recorded, the City or Agency
shall record an appropriate release of such lien, and sign any other documents reasonably necessary to
satisfy title insurance requirements, upon payment by the owner of the Site of a reasonable fee to
cover the costs of preparing and recording such release, together with the payment of such other

Area. The Developer's plans, drawings, and proposals submitted to the Agency for approval shall
describe in reasonable detail the architectural character intended for the Project. The open spaces
between buildings where they exist shall be designed, landscaped and developed with the same degree
of excellence. The total development shall be in conformity with the Redevelopment Plan for the
Project Area.
The architecture of the Project will include towers and fortified walls, which suggest a
magnificent European castle—a blend of the best of Italy, Southern Spain and France soaring
majestically from its mountainous base. Secreted within its impressive structure will be charming
vistas of tile-roofed luxury villas, interwoven with fragrant courtyards, sporting blossom-covered
wooden trellises, and made up of sun bleached plaster walls - their pale ochre and linen white
gently mellowed and time worn.
Upon first entering hotel's open-air lobby, the sight of the San Jacinto Mountains and Tahquitz
Canyon will be immediately visible to guests. A seventy-five foot high flowing waterfall will be
Cret . Q•NO
situated in the lobby, where water will gush from rocky layers before overflowing into a series of
pools below.

Res. No. 1147
Page 2
NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Community Redevelopment Agency of the
City of Palm Springs as follows:
SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein.
SECTION 2. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the
Community Redevelopment Agency finds as follows:
a) In connection with the approval of the DDA, the project
received approval of a Mitigated Negative Declaration on
May 17, 2000 based on the preparation of an Initial Study
and the recommendation of the Planning Commission.
Mitigation measures are included in the project design and
adopted as part of the Conditions of Approval for the
Project.
b) The Agency finds that the Planning Commission adequately
discussed the potential significant environmental effects of
the proposed project(land use,traffic/circulation,parking,air
quality, noise, aesthetics, geology/soils, water quality,
drainage, public utilities, public safety,
archaeological/historic resources and light and glare). The
Community Redevelopment Agency further finds that the
Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects its independent
judgment.
SECTION 3. The Developer proposes to construct a five-story hotel of at least
210 rooms; 264 vacation ownership units (time shares);
underground parking;water features and otheramenities;and other
landscaping and on-site improvements.
SECTION 4. The Developers are required to make certain street improvements
in keeping with City codes. Such offsite improvements are
imperative to this project, such as reconstructing curb, gutter and
sidewalks along Belardo Road and South Palm Canyon Drive. This
project improves a blighted parcel in Merged Redevelopment
Project Area#1 (formerly South Palm Canyon) and will increase tax
increment to the Agency and transient occupancy tax and sales tax
collections to the City.
SECTION 5. The Agency agrees, through this Disposition and Development
Agreement,to borrow approximately$4,600,000 from the Developer
to acquire the 11.41 acre site from the seller, and to acquire fee title
to the site. The Agency agrees to contribute the land to the project
for $1.00 when the project is fully funded, all permits have been
obtained, and the Developer is prepared to commence construction.
The Agency would retain reverter rights if the Developer fails to
proceed or complete the project. The Agency would then repay the
loan from the net tax increment generated by the project, including
both the hotel and time share portions. Over the 18 years the loan
is to be repaid, the total tax increment paid to the Developer will be
close to $10.4 million. The present value of he assistance,
however, remains$4.6 million. In addition,the Developer agrees to
place an "in-lieu of TOT'fee on the time share units in the amount
Res. No. 1147
Page 3
of$10 per interval per year, payable through the HOA fees.
SECTION 6. The Agency does hereby find and determine as follows:
(a) The property is currently vacant and lies between
Magruder Chevrolet on the south and the Rock
Garden Cafe to the north. The total site is
approximately 11.41 acres. Because of the
substantial amount of public improvements required
as part of the development, including the
undergrounding of utilities on Belardo Road, a
landscaped median island and traffic signal on South
Palm Canyon Drive, street widening on South Palm
Canyon Drive, and sidewalks, bikelanes, curbs and
gutters, it is only feasible for a major development
such as the Star Canyon Resort to develop the
property and carry the overhead cost of the public
improvements. In addition, there are topographic
challenges with grade changes and a significant
amount of boulder coverage on the site, which also
raises the cost of a new development.
(b) The DDA effectuates the purposes of the
Community Redevelopment Law by reversing or
alleviating any serious physical, social, and
economic burden of the Community which cannot
reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated
by private enterprise acting alone, in that the
assistance will facilitate the development and
operation of the resort hotel development causing
the upgrade of the property, placing the property in
the hands of a first class and experienced hotel
operator, in order to increase transient occupancy
tax and sales tax revenue and attract additional
commercial development within the City and
increase the City's tax base.
(c) The DDA effectuates the purposes of the
Community Redevelopment Law as it is intended to
eliminate blight and promote the health, safety and
general welfare of the people of Palm Springs.
SECTION 7. The proposed project is consistent with the Implementation
Plan for Merged Project Area #1 (formerly the South Palm
Canyon Project Area), and this project will increase tax
increment and create new commercial activities in the
project area. It will increase the City's commercial sector by
developing a major new destination property in the City, in
orderto capture a portion of the significant resort and leisure
tourism leakage that occurs in Palm Springs.
Res. No. 1147

SECTION 8. Based on foregoing reasons, this DDA is hereby approved

Development Agreement and other documents necessary to
the Agreement, and make minor changes as may be
deemed necessary, in a form approved by Agency Counsel.
