("▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇") prior to occupancy of the first building within the Project or
approval of the final map for VTTM No. 5004, whichever occurs first. Developer
shall annex the approximate 56.84 acres of Lot A of VTTM No. 5004 that is not
within the City to the District only if such annexation occurs concurrently

withdraw its consent to the annexation of said acres to the District and shall
take all other actions reasonable necessary to prevent the annexation to the
District.
(g) Developer agrees to not oppose creation of a
redevelopment project area (as defined by applicable State law) encompassing
any part of the Property provided that the project area is consistent with the
rights of Developer under this Agreement.
(h) Developer agrees to dedicate Lot 4 and Lot D, as
described in Condition ▇▇. ▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇, in fee simple interest to City

waiver, modification or reduction of any fee, regulation, requirement, policy
or standard condition for development of ▇▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇, and
further agrees to pay all fees imposed by City for future buildings, so long as

7
10
(j) Developer agrees that the modifications to Caltrans
rights-of-way adjacent to the Property, including but not limited to
reconfiguration of certain freeway entrance/exit ramps (SR 23 interchanges) and
signalization of SR 23 interchanges with New Los Angeles Avenue, shall be
completed within twelve (12) months of the first occupancy of a building on the
Property and that the bid award for construction shall occur prior to first
occupancy.
(k) Developer agrees that the maximum building square
footage for ▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇ shall not exceed 132,183 and for ▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇
▇▇▇▇ ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇ shall not exceed 37,200, and further agrees that the permitted
and conditionally permitted uses of Lots 1 and 2 shall be limited to (i)

but only in conjunction with a hotel or motel use, (iv) conference centers and
convention centers, (v) hospitals, (vi) retail pharmacies for prescription
pharmaceutical only, (vii) restaurants, cafes and cafeterias, (viii) retail
trades, only within a building and (ix) motor vehicle, mobile home,

station including a mini mart.
(1) Developer agrees to pay City in accordance with the
provisions of this subsection if, for any reason, Developer does not employ the
number of full-time employees required by this subsection at the Project
facilities described in IPD No. 95-2.
The number of full-time employees employed at the Project
facilities on the date of initial occupancy is hereinafter referred to as the
Initial Number. Initial occupancy shall mean the last day of the month in
which the first certificate of occupancy for the Project facilities is issued
plus sixty (60) calendar days. As of the first anniversary of the initial
occupancy, the number of full-time employees employed at the Project facilities
shall be not less than the Initial Number plus the First Year Number. The
"First Year Number" shall mean the Initial Number plus seventy-five, provided
that if the Initial Number is reduced during the first year by the attrition of
employees who were employed full-time at the Project facilities at initial
occupancy ("original employees) and their positions are refilled by the hiring
of new full-time employees prior to the first anniversary of the Project
facilities ("new employees"), the 75 shall be reduced by the number of new
employees. (e.g., if there were 490 full-time employees at initial occupancy
and 30 new full-time employees were hired prior to the first anniversary of the
Project facilities to replace 30 of the original full-time employees, the First
Year Number is 490 plus 75 minus 30 for a total of 535 full-time employees.)
As of the second anniversary of the initial occupancy, the number of full-time
employees employed at the Project facilities shall be not less than the First
Year Number plus 75 ("the Second Year Number"). As of the third anniversary of
the initial occupancy, the number of full-time employees employed at the Project
facilities shall be not less than the First Year Number plus 150 ("the Third
Year Number").
8
11
Each of the three (3) years that the minimum number of full-time employees
specified above are not employed at the Project facilities, Developer shall pay
City the sum of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) within sixty (60)
days after the applicable anniversary date of the Project facilities.
In the event that the Initial Number is less than 490, the
Third Year Number shall be increased by the difference between the Initial
Number and 490 ("the Additional Number") up to a cap of 100. (E.g. if the
Initial Number is 380 then using the example from above the First Year Number
is 425 (380 plus 75 minus 30) and so the Third Year Number of 575 (425 plus
150) shall be increased by the Additional Number of 100 for a total of 675
full-time employees.) within sixty (60) days after the third anniversary of the
Project facilities, Developer shall pay City Three Hundred Thirty Three Dollars
($333) for each of the Additional Number of full-time employees that are not
employed at the Project facilities as of the third anniversary thereof. (E.g.,
using the example from above, Developer shall pay City $33,300 ($333 times
100.)
Upon City's request, Developer shall provide City with access,
during normal business hours and at the Project facilities, to payroll and
related records necessary to determine if Developer is in compliance with the
full-time employee requirements of this subsection and subsection (m) of this
Section.
In the event one or more payments are made by Developer
pursuant to subsection (m) of this Section, then the provisions of this
subsection shall not apply. Developer shall not be in material breach of this
subsection unless it fails to make timely payment of any payment due pursuant
to this subsection.
(m) Developer agrees that if, for any reason, it does not
build the Project described in IPD No. 95-2 and any City approved minor
modification thereto and relocate the Los Angeles County operations of Special
Devices, Incorporated to the Project facilities within three (3) years after
the effective date of this Agreement, Developer shall pay City the sum of Four
Hundred Ninety-Two Thousand, Three Hundred and Fifty-One Dollars ($492,351.00)
plus Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) per year for four (4)
consecutive years.
The $492,351.00 shall be payable in the amounts and at the times as
follows:
(1) At any time any part of Lot 1 or ▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇.
▇▇▇▇ is sold or leased to a third party (except for month to month
leases), Developer shall pay City $246,175.00, Payment is due upon
close of escrow of the sale or upon execution of the lease or the
third (3rd) anniversary of the effective date of this Agreement,
whichever is later.
9
12
(2) At any time ▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇ is sold or leased
to a third party (except for month to month leases) and No. 1, above,
has occurred, Developer shall pay City $246,176.00; however, if No. 1,
above, has not occurred or if No. 1 above has occurred prior to the
third (3rd) anniversary of the effective date of this Agreement, then
Developer shall pay City $492,351.00. Payment is due upon close of
escrow of the sale or upon execution of the lease.
(3) At any time a final map for any subsequent
subdivision of ▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇ is approved and No. 1, above,
has occurred, Developer shall pay City $246,176.00; however, if No. 1,
above, has not occurred then Developer shall pay City $492,351.00.
Payment is due prior to the recordation of said final map.
(4) On the tenth (10th) anniversary of the effective date
of this Agreement, Developer shall pay City any portion of the
$492,351.00 not previously paid to City pursuant to Nos. 1, 2 and 3
above.
The four (4) $75,000.00 payments totaling $300,000.00 shall be
paid beginning on the fourth (4) anniversary of the effective date of this
Agreement. In the event Developer relocates to the Project facilities after
the third anniversary of the effective date of this Agreement, no further
payment of the aforementioned Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00)
shall be due and owing, except that the annual amount that would otherwise have
been due and payable on the next succeeding anniversary date shall be prorated
as of the date of initial occupancy of the Project facilities and shall be paid
to City on the date of initial occupancy. (E.g., if such relocation occurs
three (3) months after the fourth anniversary, then Developer would have paid
Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) on the fourth anniversary and would
pay Eighteen Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($18,750.00) on the date of
initial occupancy. The remaining Two Hundred Six Thousand, Two Hundred and
Fifty Dollars ($206,250.00) would not be owed by Developer.)
Developer shall not be in material breach of this subsection
unless it fails to make timely payment of any payment due pursuant to this
subsection.
(n) Developer agrees to pay for City costs at the
applicable rates then in effect for review and plan check monitoring and
inspection of work performed by consultants retained by Developer and City
pursuant to subsection (p) of Section 7 hereof.

(c) If requested in writing by Developer and limited to
City's legal authority, City shall proceed to acquire, at Developer's sole cost
and expense, easements or fee title to land in which Developer does not have
title or interest in order to allow construction of public improvements
required of Developer. The process shall generally follow Government Code
Section 66457 et seq. and shall include the obligation of Developer to enter

the City may require, to pay all City costs including but not limited to,
acquisition of the interest, attorney fees, appraisal fees, engineering fees,
and City overhead expenses of fifteen percent (15%) on all out-of-pocket costs

(d) City shall use its best efforts to process plan
checking and early grading agreement for the Project in an expedited manner.
(e) The City Manager is authorized to sign an early
grading agreement on behalf of City to allow rough grading of the Project prior
to City Council approval of the final map for VTTM No. 5004. Said early
grading agreement shall be consistent with the conditions of the Entitlements
and contingent on City Engineer and Director of Community Development
acceptance of a Performance Bond in a form and amount satisfactory to them to
guarantee (i) implementation of the erosion control plan and completion of the
rough grading, (ii) construction of the private street and secondary access and
all related improvements including landscaping, (iii) construction of SR 23
interchanges with New Los Angeles Avenue improvements, including signalization,
(iv) construction of water line and sewer line extensions, (v) construction of

habitat restoration as required by the mitigation Monitoring Program. In the
event that Developer fails to comply with any provision of the early grading

provided, however, the City Council shall not declare any such forfeiture,
unless the City Manager has given Developer ten (10) days prior written notice
of such failure and Developer has failed to cure the failure within the ten day
period if the failure is capable of cure within such ten day period or has
failed to commence the cure within the ten day period and diligently prosecute
the same to completion if the failure is not capable of cure with such ten day
period.

(f) The fees for the Los Angeles Avenue Area of
Contribution ("the AOC fees") for the Project are set at One Hundred Thirty one
Thousand Nine Hundred and Twelve Dollars ($131,912.00) (8.5 acres at $15,519,00
per acre) for up to One Hundred Thirty Two Thousand (132,000) square feet of
building. The Project AOC fees shall not be required to be paid by Developer
until the time of issuance of a zone clearance for the first building permit
for the Project or approval of the final map for VTTM No. 5004, whichever
occurs first. For any other development of the developable portions of the
Property, the AOC fees shall be the dollar amount in effect at the time of
issuance of a zone clearance for the first building permit for the development
or approval of the final map for any subdivision of the Property subsequent to
the recordation of the final map for VTTM No. 5004, whichever occurs first.
(g) The Citywide Traffic Mitigation Fee shall not be
required to be paid by Developer until the time of issuance of a zone clearance

shall be adjusted annually (commencing one year after approval of VTTM No.
5004) by any increase in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") until paid in full.
The CPI increase shall be determined by using the information provided by the
U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all urban consumers
within the Los Angeles/Anaheim/Riverside metropolitan area during the prior
year. The calculation shall be made using the month of January of each year.
(h) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no

reasonably required to cure the same, provided that the Financier delivers
written notice to City of its intention to cure and commences the cure within

for four consecutive years, for a total of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars.
Payments shall begin on the fourth (4) anniversary of the effective date
of the Agreement; provided, however, if Developer relocates to the Project
facilities after the third anniversary of the effective date of the
Agreement, no further payments of the aforementioned Three Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) shall be due and owing, except that the
annual amount that would otherwise have been due and payable on the next
succeeding anniversary date shall be prorated as of the date of initial
occupancy of the Project facilities and shall be paid to City on the date
of initial occupancy. (E.g., if such relocation occurs three (3) months
after the fourth anniversary, then Developer would have paid Seventy Five
Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) on the fourth anniversary and would pay
Eighteen Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($18,750.00) on the date of
initial occupancy. The remaining Two Hundred Six Thousand, Two Hundred
and Fifty Dollars ($206,250.00) would not be owed by Developer.)
B. If, for any reason, Developer does not employ the number of
full-time employees required by this subparagraph at the Project facilities
described in Industrial Development Permit ("IPD") No. 95-2 and has not made
one or more payments to City pursuant to subparagraph A of this Paragraph,
Developer pay city:
(1) The sum of TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($25,000.00) each of the
three (3) years that the minimum number of full-time employees specified
hereinbelow are not employed at the Project facilities, which sums shall
be due and payable within
22
31
sixty (60) days after the applicable anniversary of the Project
facilities.
The number of full-time employees employed at the Project facilities
on the date of initial occupancy is hereinafter referred to as the Initial
Number. Initial occupancy shall mean the last day of the month in which
the first certificate of occupancy for the Project facilities is issued
plus sixty (60) calendar days. As of the first anniversary of the initial
occupancy, the number of full-time employees employed at the Project
facilities shall be not less than the Initial Number plus the First Year
Number. The "First Year Number" shall mean the Initial Number plus
seventy-five, provided that if the Initial Number is reduced during the
first year by the attrition of employees who were employed full-time at
the Project facilities at initial occupancy ("original employees") and
their positions are refilled by the hiring of new full-time employees
prior to the first anniversary of the Project facilities ("new
employees"), the 75 shall be reduced by the number of new employees.
(E.g., if there were 490 full-time employees at initial occupancy and 30
new full-time employees were hired prior to the first anniversary of the
Project facilities to replace 30 of the original full-time employees, the
First Year Number is 490 plus 75 minus 30 for a total of 535 full-time
employees.) As of the second anniversary of the initial occupancy, the
number of full-time employees employed at the Project facilities shall be
not less than the First Year Number plus 75 ("the Second Year Number").
As of the third anniversary of the initial occupancy, the number of
full-time employees employed at the Project facilities shall be not less
than the First Year Number plus 150 ("the Third Year Number").
and
(2) The sum of THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THREE DOLLARS ($333.00)
times the Additional Number of full-time employees specified hereinbelow
that are not employed at the Project facilities as of the third
anniversary thereof, which sum shall be due and payable within sixty (60)
days after the third anniversary of the Project facilities.
In the event that the Initial Number, as defined in subparagraph
B.(1) above, is less than 490, the Third Year Number, as defined in
subparagraph B.(1) above, shall be increased by the difference between the
Initial Number and 490 ("the Additional Number") up to a cap of 100. (E.g.
if the Initial Number is 380 then using the example from subparagraph
B.(1) above, the First Year Number is 425 (380 plus 75 minus 30) and so
the Third Year Number of 575 (425 plus 150) shall be increased by the
Additional Number of 100 for a total of 675 full-time employees.)
23
32
C. Upon City's request, Developer shall provide City with access,
during normal business hours and at the Project facilities, to payroll and
related records necessary to determine if Developer is in compliance with the
full-time employee requirements of subparagraph A and B of this Paragraph.
D. Developer shall have the right to prepay all or part of the
amounts specified in subparagraphs A and B of this Paragraph at any time or
times.
3. Acceleration on Default. If any part of any principal amount
under this Note is not paid when due and remains unpaid after a date specified
by a notice from City to Developer, or if any breach or default under this
Note, the Agreement or the Deed of Trust described in Paragraph 6 hereof is not
cured by a date specified in a notice to Developer from City, the entirety of
the principal amounts outstanding shall at once become due and payable at the
option of City. The date specified in any notice from City to Developer shall
not be less than ten (10) days from the date such notice is deemed delivered
pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 11 hereof. City may exercise this
option to accelerate during any breach or default by Developer regardless of
any prior forbearance. Failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, this
option shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise it for the breach
or default or in the event of any subsequent breach or default.
4. Late Payment Charges and Default Rate.
A. Developer acknowledges that late payments shall cause damage to
City. Developer agrees to pay, for each payment not received by City within
five (5) days after payment is due, a late charge of Two Hundred and Fifty
Dollars and No Cents ($250.00). Acceptance of any late charge by City shall not
constitute a waiver of the default with respect to the overdue amount, and it
shall not prevent City from pursuing any of its other rights and remedies.
B. In the event Developer fails to make any payment when due,
interest shall accrue on said payment from the payment due date at the rate of
ten percent (10%) per annum.
C. In the event that any usury limitations apply to any payment
pursuant to this Paragraph, the specified payment shall be reduced to the
maximum amount permitted by law.
5. Cost of Collection. Developer agrees to pay to City the
following costs, expenses and attorneys' fees paid or incurred by City, or
awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) the reasonable costs and
expenses of collection or enforcement of, and reasonable attorneys' fees paid
or incurred in connection with the collection or enforcement of, this Note or
any part of it, whether
24
33
or not suit is filed and (ii) costs of suit and reasonable attorneys' fees in
an action to enforce payment of this Note or any part of it.
6. Security for Note. The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is
secured by a certain Dead of Trust with Assignment of Rents of even date
herewith (the "Deed of Trust").
7. Forbearance Not a Waiver. No delay or omission on the part of
City in exercising any rights under this Note, the Deed of Trust or the
Agreement on breach or default by Developer shall operate as a waiver of such
right or any other right under this Note, the Deed of Trust or the Agreement
for the same breach or default or for any other breach or default.
8. Assignment by City. City shall have the right to sell, assign
or otherwise transfer, in whole or in part, this Note, the Deed of Trust, and
any other instrument evidencing or securing the indebtedness of this Note
without the consent of Developer.
9. No Assignment By Developer. Developer shall not have the right
to assign this Note, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of
City.
10. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence for each and
every obligation under this Note.
11. Notice. Any notice to be given pursuant to this Note shall be
in writing, and all such notices, payments and any other document to be
delivered shall be delivered by personal service or by deposit in the United
States mail, certified or registered, return receipt requested, with postage
prepaid, and addressed to the party for whom intended as follows:
