Agreement. A final reconciliation shall be after the sale of the last
portion of the Project, and, within ten (10) days thereafter, Owner will
pay any underpayment of the Development Management Fee, or Development
Manager shall pay to Owner any overpayment of such fees.
7.6 Success Fee. The parties believe that the ultimate success of
the Project will largely depend on the efforts and abilities of
Development Manager. Owner desires to incentivize Development Manager to
maximize the profitability of the Project. In addition, the parties
recognize that the long-term commitments required to be made by
Development Manager under this Agreement and the risks undertaken by
Development Manager under this Agreement, including risks relating to
construction management and to Development Manager's obligation to arrange
financing for the Project, warrant additional compensation to Development
Manager. Therefore, as a material part of the consideration to
Development Manager, Owner shall pay to Development Manager a Success Fee
in the following manner:
Step 1: all Net Revenues initially shall be used by Owner to pay
the Owner Initial Payment Amount;
Step 2: next, the remaining Net Revenues (if any) will be paid
to Development Manager in an amount equal to such Owner
Initial Payment Amount;
Step 3: thereafter, fifty percent (50%) of the remaining Net
Revenues (if any) will be paid to Development Manager;
and
Step 4: provided, however, that in no event shall the Success
Fee payable to Development Manager exceed sixty-eight
percent (68%) of an amount equal to (a) the Net Revenues
minus (b) the Owner Initial Payment Amount (the "Success
Fee Limit").
21
Owner shall pay portions of the Success Fee to Development Manager from
time to time when, in Owner's reasonable judgment, Owner has sufficient
funds, after providing reserves for potential liabilities associated with
the Project in amounts determined by Owner, to make such payment in light
of the then existing and reasonably anticipated future expenses and
liabilities relating to the Project. In addition, to the extent Owner
determines that sufficient funds are available to make payments of the
Success Fee, Owner may reserve amounts that Owner deems necessary to
ensure that the payments of the Success Fee will not exceed the Success
Fee Limit. A final reconciliation shall be made after the sale of the
last portion of the Project, and Owner shall promptly pay any remaining
Success Fee to Development Manager, or Development Manager shall pay to
Owner any overpayment of the Success Fee (including any amount paid to
Development Manager that exceeds the Success Fee Limit). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Development Manager acknowledges and agrees that it shall
be entitled to payment of the Success Fee only if the amount of the Net
Revenues exceed the amount of the Owner Initial Payment Amount, and then
only to the extent of such excess amount and subject to the Success Fee
Limit. Owner has made no representations or warranties regarding the
amount of the Success Fee that may be payable. Neither Owner nor any of
its shareholders, members, managers, officers, directors or Affiliates
shall be liable to Development Manager if no Success Fee is payable or if
the amount of the Success Fee is less than the amount anticipated by the
Budget or any other projections.
For purposes of illustration only, the following examples are
provided:
Example 1:
Net Revenues = $400,000,000
Step 1: Owner Initial Payment Amount = $50,000,000
Step 2: Initial payment to Development Manager = $50,000,000
Step 3: 50% of remainder to Development Manager = $150,000,000 (50%
of $300,000,000)
Step 4: Cap = 68% of $350,000,000 = $238,000,000
Success Fee = $200,000,000 ($50,000,000 plus $150,000,000 from
Steps 2 and 3)
Example 2:
Net Revenues = $120,000,000
Step 1: Owner Initial Payment Amount = $50,000,000
Step 2: Initial payment to Development Manager = $50,000,000
Step 3: 50% of remainder to Development Manager = $10,000,000 (50%
of $20,000,000)
Step 4: Cap = 68% of $70,000,000 = $47,600,000
Success Fee = $47,600,000 (based on 68% cap)
22
Example 3:
Net Revenues = $50,000,000
Step 1: Owner Initial Payment Amount = $50,000,000
Step 2: Success Fee = $0

TERMINATION; DEFAULT
--------------------
9.1 Right of Termination for Convenience. The performance of all
or any portion of the Services under this Agreement may be terminated by
Owner, in whole or in part, whenever Owner shall determine that such
termination is in its best interest, with or without cause and without
regard to whether Development Manager is in default hereunder. Any such
termination shall be effected by delivery to Development Manager of a
24

and all Claims to the extent arising from or relating to (a) the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Development Manager, or its agents,
employees, consultants, subcontractors, suppliers, anyone employed
directly or indirectly by any of them or for whose acts they may be liable
or any or all of them arising from or relating to Development Manager's
obligations under this Agreement; (b) any and all liens, stop notices and
charges of any type, nature, kind or description which may at any time be
filed or claimed against the Project site or any portion thereof, or the

Development Manager, or its agents, employees, consultants,

of them or for whose acts they may be liable or any or all of them;
(c) Development Manager's breach of its obligations under the Agreement;
or (d) violation of any local, state or federal law, regulation or code by
Development Manager or by any of Development Manager's employees, agents,

damages are the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of the
party to be indemnified. The indemnity set forth in this Section shall
apply during the term of this Agreement (or Development Manager's
performance thereof) and shall survive the expiration or termination of
this Agreement until such time as action against the Owner Indemnitees on
account of any matter covered by such indemnity is barred by the
applicable statute of limitations.
10.15.2 Owner shall defend (with counsel reasonably
acceptable to Development Manager), indemnify, protect, and hold harmless
Development Manager and its employees, officers, directors, shareholders,
agents and representatives, and its and their respective successors and
assigns (collectively, the "Development Manager Indemnitees"), from and
against any and all Claims, of any nature whatsoever, arising out of, in
connection with or incidental to: (i) the negligence or willful
31
misconduct of Owner or any of its managers, members, officers, directors,
separate contractors, agents or employees; (ii) the failure by Owner to
comply with its obligations under this Agreement; (iii) any failure by
Owner to comply with any laws, statutes, ordinances, or regulations of any
governmental or quasi-governmental agency or authority except and to the
extent such compliance was the obligation of Development Manager under
this Agreement; or (iv) work performed after the Termination Date and
without Development Manager's participation. This Indemnity shall survive
the expiration or termination of this Agreement until an action against
the Development Manager Indemnitees on account of any matter covered by
such indemnity is barred by the applicable statute of limitation.
10.15.3 Applicability of Indemnity. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Owner elects to obtain an OCIP Policy, the parties agree
that the indemnity obligations under Sections 10.15.1 and 10.15.2 shall
only apply to the extent the matter is not covered by such OCIP Policy and
each party waives all claims against the other to the extent covered by
such insurance.
10.16 Merger. All prior understandings and agreements between the
parties respecting this relationship, are merged into this Agreement,
which Agreement fully and completely expresses the agreement of the
parties, and there are no representations, warranties or agreements except

in connection with this Agreement, the party prevailing in such action
will be entitled to recover from the other party all of its costs of
action, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, experts' fees and
costs and fees and costs incurred in connection with any appeals or to
enforce any judgment. If either party files an action against the other
in connection with this Agreement and subsequently dismisses or withdraws
such action, with or without prejudice, except in connection with a
settlement agreement between Owner and Development Manager, the other
party shall be deemed to be the prevailing party and shall be entitled to
recover its fees and costs in connection therewith.
10.19 Non-Discrimination. There shall be no discrimination against
or segregation of any person, or group of persons on account of sex, race,
color, creed, national origin or ancestry in the sale, lease, sublease,
transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the land, nor shall the
transferee himself, or any person claiming under or through him 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 land.
10.20 Confidentiality. Unless otherwise agreed to by Owner,
Development Manager will keep confidential all documents, contracts,
prices, plans, specifications, strategies, marketing programs, financial
32
statements, reports or other information provided to, or generated by
Owner relating to the Project and will not disclose any such information
to any person other than (i) those employees and agents of Development
Manager directly participating in providing the Services; (ii) those who
are actively and directly participating in the development of the Project,
and (iii) governmental, administrative, regulatory or judicial authorities
in the investigation of the compliance of the Project with applicable
legal requirements. However, Development Manager agrees that it will not
disclose any code compliance, environmental or other regulatory matters to
