AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MOUNTAIN VIEW
APPROVING A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE MIDDLEFIELD PARK MASTER PLAN
PROJECT GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF ELLIS STREET
AND EAST MIDDLEFIELD ROAD AND NORTH OF WEST MAUDE AVENUE, BETWEEN
LOGUE AVENUE AND CLYDE AVENUE, MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIFORNIA
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOUNTAIN VIEW DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Findings and Purpose. The City Council of the City of Mountain View does hereby find as follows:
1. To strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning, and reduce the economic risk of development, the Legislature of the State of California adopted Government Code Sections 65864 to 65869.5, authorizing municipalities to enter into Development Agreements in connection with the development of real property within their jurisdiction by qualified applicants with a requisite legal or equitable interest in the real property, which is the subject of such Development Agreement (“Agreement”) (PL-2021-249).
2. Google LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Applicant” or “Owner”), has a legal interest in certain real property located in the City consistin g of approximately 40 acres, generally located at the northeast corner of Ellis Street and East Middlefield Road and north of West Maude Avenue , between Logue Avenue and Clyde Avenue , and commonly known as Middlefield Park Master Plan (collectively, the “Property”). The Property is located within the East Whisman Change Area under the City’s 2030 General Plan (the “General Plan”), which was adopted on July 10, 2012 by Resolution No. 17711, and the area subject to the East Whisman Precise Plan (the “Precise Plan”) adopted November 5, 2019, by Resolution No. 18397.
3. Applicant desires to redevelop the Property to create a development envisioned by the Middlefield Park Master Plan by demolishing existing buildings, landscaping, and improvements and reconfigur e existing parcels to create new parcels for a mixed -use development of up to 1,520 market-rate residential units, 1.317 million square feet of office and research and development (R&D) buildings, 50,000 square feet of retail commercial space (including active uses, neighborhood commercial and community/civic spaces), land dedication of 2.4 acres to accommodate affordable residential development, district parking facilities,
6.97 acres of dedicated public parks and 2.87 acres of privately owned, publicly accessible (POPA) open space, new pedestrian and bicycle improvements, and an optional private district utility system (the “Project”).

4. The City is desirous of encouraging quality economic growth and expanding its employment base within the City, in parallel with residential development and new public parks, to ensure a jobs/housing balance, thereby advancing sustainable growth in the interests of the City’s residents, taken as a whole. The City has determined the Project complies with the plans and policies set forth in the General Plan and Precise Plan.
5. A primary purpose of this Agreement is to assure the Project can proceed without disruption caused by a change in City’s planning policies and requirements following the Project at time of approval and to ensure the required community benefits, public benefits, and required exactions the applicant is committing to provide in connection with development of the Project are timely delivered. The applicant also d esires the flexibility, subject to phasing requirements of the development, to develop the Project in response to market conditions.
6. By entering into this Agreement, the City is receiving assurances of orderly growth and quality development in the Pr ecise Plan area , in accordance with the goals and policies set forth in the General Plan and Precise Plan , and timely delivery of required improvements, community benefits, and public benefits. The City also recognizes that this Agreement will facilitate the transformation of a 40 -acre suburban office park into a denser, mixed-use neighborhood with approximately 10 acres of public open space and up to 1,900 residential units and that implementation of a project of this scope and scale requires phased construction, extensive resources, and a long-term commitment by the Applicant.
7. The purpose of Government Code Sections 65864 to 65869.5 is to authorize municipalities, in their discretion, to establish certain development rights in real property for a period of years regardless of intervening changes in land use regulations. As authorized by Government Code Section 65865(c), the City adopted Ordinance No. 20.94 on November 9, 1994, establishing the procedures and requirements for consideration of devel opment agreements within the City. City Code Section s 36.54.15(a)(1)-(7) and 36.54.15(d) contain the required findings for adoption of the Development Agreement, and all findings are made as follows in Paragraphs 8 through 15 below.
8. The Development Agreement is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs specified in the General Plan for the High -Intensity Office and East Whisman Mixed-Use Land Use Designation s, which envision a harmonious balance of hous ing near jobs, public transit, neighborhood -serving businesses, and parks. The Development Agreement is also consistent with the East Whisman Precise Plan and the three Character Subareas for which the Project (which includes Planning Application Nos. PL -2020-149 and PL-2021-121) spans for development that provides innovative site, architectural, landscape designs, and transportation demand management measures supporting the City’s goals for reducing trips and encouraging transit -oriented development, including: (a) the low-intensity subarea within the “Employment Character Area (North),” which allows bonus intensity of up to
0.5 floor area ratio ( FAR) for nonresidential development with highly sustainable de sign; (b) medium-intensity subarea within the “Mixed Use Character Area ,” which allows bonus intensities up to 0.75 FAR for nonresidential development and 2.5 FAR for residential/mixed-use MN/4/ORD
823-11-15-22o -3-
developments with highly sustainable design; and (c) high-intensity subarea within the “Mixed - Use Character Area,” which all ows bonus intensity of 1.0 FAR for nonresidential development and 3.5 FAR for residential/mixed-use development with highly sustainable design.
9. The Development Agreement is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the regulations prescribed for, the land use district in which the real property is located because the Project complies with the allowable land uses in the Precise Plan at the building heights and intensities permitted; meets the requirements of the Neighborhood Park Master Plan area to ensure a large, dedicated public park and surrounding land uses are appropriately planned for and provided, along with meeting other requirements for a master plan per the Precise Plan; and provides compatibility with surrounding uses and developments consistent with the Precise Plan and the Moffett Field Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for the nearby airport.
10. The Development Agreement is in conformity with the public convenience, general welfare, and good land use practice because the de sign of the Master Plan building and open-space locations, proposed mix of land uses, and multi-modal transportation improvements are compatible with the Precise Plan development standards and allowable land uses.
Additionally, the Project encourages and supports the use of public transit due to the immediate adjacency of the Middlefield Light Rail station and proximity (a short light rail ride) to the Mountain View Transit Center in downtown with access to a larger network of regional public transit services, along with Middlefield Park Master Plan’s planned improvements to the adjacent Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) bus stop on Middlefield Road.
11. The Development Agreement will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of the community because the proposed Project is consistent with the provisions of the General Plan and Precise Plan and will conform to City, State, and Federal c odes and regulations for design, construction, and operations of the planned development.
12. The Development Agreement will not adversely affect the orderly development of property or the preservation of property values because the development of the Project site with mixed-use and office buildings, parks and open spaces, and transportation improvements align with the vision and development standards of the Precise Plan and are compatible with the surrounding office and residential developments nearby.
13. The Development Agreement is needed by the Applicant due to the complexity, cost, or infrastructure requirements for development to allow for flexibility in the timing and phasing of the Project because construction of a Project of this size and extent would otherwise exceed the City’s standard approval and permit extension period and requires significant resources and extensive coordination of improvements from the applicant to construct.
14. The Development Agreement is advantageous to and benefits the City because the Applicant will provide over $11 million in public bene fits as part of the Development Agreement and numerous other community benefits and fees, along with a large amount of land dedication to the City for public parks and affordable housing developments that exceed the MN/4/ORD
823-11-15-22o -4-
requirements of the Precise Plan or City regulations . The Development Agreement will allow sufficient time and assurance for the implementation of a large project that is anticipated to transform the area to realize the vision of the East Whisman Precise Plan for a denser mixed-use development with substantial new residential uses, in addition to office and other commercial uses and more expansive and enhanced public open spaces.
15. The Development Agreement complies with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). A Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (“SEIR”) has been prepared for the Project, which tiers from the East Whisman Area Precise Plan Program Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 20177082051) (“Precise Plan EIR”) and the Mountain View 2030 General Plan and Greenhouse Gas Reduction EIR (SCH No. 2011012069) (“General Plan EIR") , and a statement of overriding consideration has been prepared due to significant unavoid able air quality impacts; all other environmental considerations were either consistent with the Precise Plan EIR or General Plan EIR impacts or mitigated to less than significant with the incorporation of mitigation measures and standard City conditions of approval. The SEIR further confirms that:
(a) the proposed Project does not constitute a substantial change that would require major revisions to the EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of the previously identified significant e ffects; (b) there have been no substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Project will be constructed that would require major revisions to the Precise Plan EIR or General Plan EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of the previously identified significant effects ; and ( c) t here has been no new information of substantial importance that was not known , and could not have been known , with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time that the Precise Plan EIR and General Plan EIR was certified.
16. The Development Agreement for the Middlefield Park Master Plan has been reviewed by the City Attorney.
17. The City has determined that the Project is a development for which a Development Agreement is appropriate. A Development Agreement will improve the potential for the Project to be constructed in an orderly fashion along with the significant Project benefits such as the financial contributions by the Applicant and otherwise achieve the goals and purposes of Article XVI, Division 14 of the City Code related to Development Agreements, including meeting the required contents of a development agreement as set forth in Section 36.54.20.
18. In exchange for significant public benefits of the Project and the infrastructure and transportation improvements required for the Project, the Applicant desires to receive assurances that the City shall grant permits and approvals required for the development of the Project in accordance with procedures provided by law and in the Development Agreement, and that the Applicant may proceed with the Project in accordance with existing City laws, with extended expiration dates for entitlements up to twenty (20) years, with allowable extension, from the Effective Date as defined in the Development Agreement. In order to effectuate these purposes, the parties desire to enter into the Development Agreement.

1 DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
This DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) dated for reference purposes only as of December 13, 2022, is made and entered into by and between the CITY OF MOUNTAIN VIEW, a California charter city and municipal corporation, organized and existing under the laws of the State of California (“ City”), and GOOGLE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Developer”), pursuant to Government Code Sections 65864 et seq . Developer and City are referred to individually in this Agreement as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
A. In order to strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning, and reduce the economic costs of development, the Legislature of the State of California enacted Sections 65864, et seq ., of the Government Code (“ Development Agreement Statute”), which authorizes City and any person holding a legal or equitable interest in real property to enter into a development agreement, establishing certain development rights in the property.
B. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65865, City has adopted procedures and requirements for consideration of development agreements in Sections 36.54 to 36.54.40 (“Development Agreement Ordinance”) of the City Code. This Agreement has been processed, considered, and executed in accordance with such procedures and requirements.
C. Developer has a legal interest in that certain approximately 40 acre real property located in the City of Mountain View adjacent to VTA’s Middlefield Station bounded by Ellis Street, East Middlefield Road, Logue Avenue, Maude Avenue, Clyde Avenue, and the city limit as more particularly described in the attached Exhibit A, and as shown on the map attached as Exhibit B (collectively, the “Property”).
D. Developer desires to redevelop the Property to create the development envisioned by the Middlefield Park Master Plan, by demolishing existing buildings , removing heritage and non-heritage trees, landscaping and improvements , and reconfiguring existing parcels to create new parcels for a new mixed-use development of up to 1,520 market rate residential units, 1.317 million square feet of office and research and development (R&D) buildings, 50,000 square feet of retail commercial space (including active uses, community spaces, and civic uses) , land dedication of 2.4 acres to accommodate affordable residential units, district parking facilities, 6.97 acres of dedicated public parks and 2.87 acres of POPA Open Space, pedestrian and bicycle improvements, and a n optional private district utility system as further described in this Agreement, including in the Project Summary attached hereto as Exhibit C and in the Existing Approvals (collectively, the “Project”).
E. The Property is located within the East Whisman Change Area under the City’s 2030 General Plan (“General Plan”), which was adopted by the City Council on July 10, 2012 by Resolution No. 1771 1, and t he Property is subject to the East Whisman Precise Plan (“ Precise Plan”) adopted by the City Council on November 5, 2019 by Resolution No. 18397. The General Plan Land Use map designates portions of the Property as “East Whisman Mixed Use” and portions as “High Intensity Office”. The Precise Plan designates the Property primarily “Mixed-
2 Use Character Area” (with a combination of “High Intensity Subarea” and “Medium Intensity Subarea”) with a smaller portion as “Employment Charact er Area (North) – Low Intensity Subarea.” The Property is zoned P-41 (East Whisman) Precise Plan.
F. Prior to or concurrently with approval of this Agreement, City has taken the following actions to review and plan for the future development of the Project:
1. Environmental Review. The potential environmental impacts of the Project have properly been reviewed and evaluated by City pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq. Pursuant to CEQA, City prepared and duly processed a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (“Project EIR”) (SCH No. 2021100026) which relied on and tiered from the certified East Whisman Area Precise Plan Program Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 20177082051) (“ Precise Plan EIR ”).
Preparation of the Project EIR included supplemental studies and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (“MMRP”) for implementation of mitigation measures specified in the Project EIR and incorporated from the Precise Plan EIR (the Precise Plan EIR, Project EIR, supplemental studies, Statement of Overriding Considerations, and MMRP are, collectively, the “ Project CEQA Documentation ”). After a duly noticed public hearing and in accordance with the recommendation of the City’s Environmental Planning Commission ( the “Planning Commission”), on November 15, 2022, by Resolution No. 18733, the City Council certified the Project EIR as adequate under CEQA for consideration of approvals required for the Project, including this Agreement and the Existing Approvals , and adopted the MMRP , and adopted a Statement of Overriding Consideration due to significant un-mitigable environmental impacts related to air quality.
2. Master Plan. Following review and recommendation by City’s Planning Commission on October 19 , 2022 , after a duly noticed public hearing and certification of the Project EIR, the City Council on November 15, 2022, by Resolution No. 18734, approved the Middlefield Park Master Plan (“Master Plan”) and the Middlefield Park Implementation Plan (“Implementation Plan”), establishing a development program for the Property consistent with and pursuant to the Precise Plan and City Code regulations, together with Conditions of Approval and administrative procedures for the same.
3. Vesting Tentative Map. Following review and recommendation by City’s Planning Commission (acting as the Subdivision Committee) on October 19, 2022, after a duly noticed public hearing, the City Council on November 15 , 2022, by Resolution No. 18735, approved a Vesti ng Tentative Map together with Conditions of A pproval (“Subdivision Conditions”) pursuant to City Code Chapter 28, for subdivision of the Property to implement the Project (“Vesting Tentative Map”).
4. Vacation of a Public Street on a Portion of Logue Avenue . Following adoption of a notice of intent to vacate on October 25, 2022, and a duly noticed public hearing and certification of the Project EIR, the City Council on November 15, 2022, by Resolution No. 18736, approved the conditional vacation of a public street on a portion of Logue Avenue to permit the reconstruction of a portion of Logue Avenue with a new public street easement to be dedicated to the City pursuant to the Public Streets, Highways, and Service Easement Vacation Law, California Streets and Highways Code Sections 8330, et seq. (“Vacation”).
3 5. Park Land Dedication Credit for Middlefield Park Master Plan. Following a duly noticed public hearing, the City Council on November 15, 2022, by Resolution No. 18738, approved granting a park land dedication credit for a portion of the park land dedication requirement of the Middlefield Park Master Plan for a 2.87-acre privately owned publicly accessible (POPA) open space referred to as Ellis POPA Open Space, pursuant to City Cod e Chapter 41 (“Park Land Credit”).
The approvals described in this Recital F are referred to, collectively, as the “Existing Approvals.” G. City is desirous of encouraging quality economic growth and expanding its employment base within the City, in parallel with residential development and new public parks to ensure a jobs/housing balance, thereby advancing sustainable growth in the interests of it s residents, taken as a whole. City has determined the Project complies with the plans and policies set forth in the General Plan and Precise Plan.
H. A primary purpose of this Agreement is to assure the Project can proceed without disruption caused by a change in City’s planning policies and requirements following issuance of the Approvals and to ensure the Required Exactions, Community B enefits and Public Benefits Developer is committing to provide in connection with development of the Project are timely delivered. Developer also desires the flexibility , subject to phasing requirements in this Agreement, to develop the Project in response to market conditions and to ensure the Existing Approvals remain valid over the Term of this Agreement.
I. City has determined that by entering into this Agreement City is receiving assurances of orderly growth and quality development in the Precise Plan area in accordance with the goals and policies set forth in the General Plan and Precise Plan, and timely delivery of Required Exactions, Community Benefits and Public Benefits. The City also recognizes that this Agreement will facilitate the transformation of a 40-acre suburban office park into a denser, mixed- use neighborhood with approximately 10 acres of public open space and up to 1,900 residential units, and that implementation of a project of this scope and scale requires phased construction, extensive resources, and a long-term commitment by the Developer.
J. Developer recognizes it is being afforded greater latitude concerning long -term assurances for development of the Project in exchange for agreeing to contribute greater Community Benefits and Public Benefits than otherwise required for the Approvals and does so freely and wi th full knowledge and consent. City will further benefit from an incre ase in the likelihood that the Community Benefits and Public B enefits which are presently or will be reflected in the Conditions of Approval will be realized because this Agreement will increase the likelihood that the Project will be completed pursuant to the Approvals.
K. For the reasons stated herein, among others, City and Developer have determined the Project is a development for which a development agreement is appropriate. This Agreement will, in turn, eliminate uncertainty in planning for and securing orderly development of the Property. City has also determined the Project includes Community Benefits and Public Benefits and will provide additional market rate and afford able housing options for the community; strengthen City’s economic base with high -quality, long -term jobs, in addition to shorter -term construction jobs; generate revenues for City in the form of one -time and annual fees, taxes, and
4 other fiscal benefits; promote high-quality design and sustainable development; expand park and open space amenities ; enhance the use of public transit and other alternative modes of transportation; and otherwise achieve the goals and purposes for which the Development Agreement Statute was adopted.

22 ARTICLE 3
DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY
3.1 Project Development . Development of the Project will be governed by the Approvals, this Agreement and Applicable Law. City acknowledges the timing of completion of development of the Project is subject to market forces, and Developer shall have no liability whatsoever if the contemplated development of the Project fails to occur ; provided, if Developer Commences Construction of the Project, then with respect to those improvements as to which Developer has Commenced Construction, Developer shall proceed to construct in accordance with the Phasing Plan and to make payments, dedicate and convey real property to City (or its assignee or designee), construct the related, required improvements and deliver and provide the Required Exactions, Community Benefits and Public Benefits and take other actions as and when specified in this Agreement and in the Approvals.
3.2 Right to Develop. Developer shall have the vested right to develop the Project in accordance with and subject to: (a) the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Approvals and any amendments to any of them as shall, from time to time, be approved pursuant to this Agreement; (b) Applicable Law; and (c) the allocation of up to 632,354 square feet of Precise Plan Development Reserve, as specified in the Existing Approvals, to the Project’s Office development component until Completion of the Project or the expiration or termination of this Agreement , whichever first occurs . Nothing contained herein shall restrict C ity’s discretion to approve, conditionally approve, or deny amendments or changes to the Existing Approvals proposed by Developer. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no future modifications of the following shall apply to the Project: (a) the General Plan or Precise Plan; (b) the City Code; or (c) applicable laws and standards adopted by the City which purport to: (i) limit the use, subdivision, development density, schedule of development of the Property or the Project; or (ii) impose new dedications, improvements, other Exactions, design features, more stringent trip caps or moratoria upon development, occupancy, or use of the Property or the Project. This Agreement and the Approvals are intended to be consistent with each other; therefore, the Parties shall use Good Faith Efforts to consider and interpret this Agreement and the Approvals as a whole and in a manner which harmonizes any conflicting provisions to the maximum extent feasible; provided, however, if the Parties are not abl e to reconcile any provisions that directly conflict, then the provisions of this Agreement shall control.
3.3 Subsequent Approvals.
3.3.1 Subsequent Approvals . Certain subsequent land use approvals, entitlements, and permits other than the Existing Approvals, will be necessary or desirable for implementation of the Project (“ Subsequent Approvals ”). The Subsequent Approvals may include, without limitation, the following: (i) zoning permits, such as planned community permits, development review permits, provisional use permits, change of use permits, heritage tree removal permits, and sign permits ; (ii) construction -related permits, such as demolition permits, grading permits, building and fire permits, and certificates of occupancy ; and (iii) public works -related approvals and permits, such as phased final maps , encroachment permits, excavation permits, permits related to the District Utility System, and utility a nd discharge permits ; and any amendments to, or repealing of, any of the foregoing. Subsequent Approvals also include s execution of separate agreements that include, but are not limited to, master encroachment
23 agreements, other encroachment agreements, licensing agreements, access agreements, transportation demand management agreements , shared parking agreements , and indemnity agreements. Developer shall be responsible for obtaining any required Subsequent Approvals.
The City, in granting the Existing Approvals and entering into this Agreement, is limiting its future discretion with respect to Subsequent Approvals to the extent they are consistent with the Approvals, Applicable Law and this Agreement. The City acknowledges that Developer’s commitments to deliver the Project, including the Community Benefits and Public Benefits, described in this Agreement is, in part, consideration for the City’s agreement to limit its discretion with respect to Subs equent Approvals. The conditions, terms, restrictions, and requirements for such Subsequent Approvals shall be in accordance with Applicable City Law (except as otherwise provided in Sections 3.6 and 3.8) and shall not prevent development of the Property for the uses provided under the Approvals, Applicable Law and this Agreement (“Permitted Uses”), or reduce the density or intensity of development, or limit the rate or timing of development set forth in this Agreement, as long as Developer is not in default under this Agreement and such development remains consistent with the Project as described in this Agreement, the Precise Plan standards and guidelines, the Master Plan, the Implementation Plan, and any related permits for construction. For any part of a Subsequent Approval request that has not been previously reviewed or considered by City (such as additional details or plans), City shall exercise its discretion consistent with the Approvals and otherwise in accordance with City’s customary practice (but subject to the requirements of this Agreement), and subject to Applicable Law. Accordingly, except as otherwise provided herein, in no event shall City deny, or withhold issuance of a Subsequent Approval based upon items that are in compliance with the Approvals, this Agreement and Applicable City Law.
Subject to the requirements of this Agreement, the City shall not impos e any new condition for a Subsequent Approval that conflicts with the Approvals, except when such condition is necessary to bring the Subsequent Approval into compliance with Applicable City Laws. Provided Developer has otherwise satisfied the conditions o f the applicable Approval to issue a Demolition and Grading Permit, Building Permit or Certificate of Occupancy (including but not limited to payment of any required Impact Fees), City will not withhold or delay issuance to Developer of Demolition and Grad ing Permits, Building Permits or Certificates of Occupancy due to incomplete City infrastructure projects, or failure of City to have commenced any such projects, even though such project(s) are or may be related to the development that is the subject of t he Demolition and Grading Permit, Building Permit or Certificate of Occupancy. Any subsequent discretionary action or discretionary approval initiated by Developer that is not otherwise permitted by or contemplated in the Project as described in this Agree ment or in the Approvals or which constitutes a Material Change shall be subject to the rules, regulations, ordinances, and official policies of the City then in effect, and City reserves full and complete discretion with respect to any findings to be made in connection therewith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit the City’s discretion with respect to: (i) any proposed Subsequent Approval that constitutes a Material Change; (ii) Subsequent Approval, to the extent required by Applicable Law, of subsequent subdivision maps not contemplated by the Approvals; or (iii) City’s ability to address any public health, or safety concerns, or to comply with Applicable Law. City shall review, process and approve, conditionally approve or disapprove Subsequent Approvals in accordance with this Agreement, including Section 6.2, and the procedures set forth in the Existing Approvals, including the Precise Plan, the Master Plan, and the review and approvals framework in the Implementation Plan.
24 3.3.2 Review of Tree Removals . Implementation of the Master Plan will require removal of heritage and non -heritage trees on the Property, which have been broadly identified in the Master Plan arborist report; however, this Agreement and Existing Approvals do not grant City approval of any tree removals. Tree removals will be evaluated with each phase of development as part of subsequent zoning permit review in accordance with the Master Plan’s Tree Framework in the Implementation Plan, Applicable City Law, the Conditions of Approval, and City’s standard procedures. In no event shall City require the preservation of trees where such preservation would prevent Developer from achieving the development program outlined in the Master Plan; however, City may require Developer to use Good Faith Efforts to evaluate and consider feasible modifications to building or site designs in each development phase that retain s or relocates heritage and non-heritage trees.
3.3.3 CEQA Review . The Parties acknowledge that certain Subsequent Approvals may legally require additional analysis under CEQA. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to prevent or limit the City from complying with CEQ A. In acting on Subsequent Approvals, City w ill rely on the Project CEQA Documentation to the fullest extent permissible by CEQA, including CEQA Guideline s Sections 15168(c)(2), 15182, and 15183, as determined by City in the exercise of its independent judgment. In the event additional environmental review is required for a Subsequent Approval, City will limit such additional review to the scope of analysis mandated by CEQA and the subject matter of the Subsequent Approval, and will d iligently conduct such additional review at Developer’s expense, all as determined by City as the lead agency under CEQA in the exercise of its independent judgment and otherwise in a manner consistent with CEQA and Applicable Law.
3.3.4 Multimodal Transportat ion Analysis (MTA) . The Parties acknowledge that certain Subsequent Approvals, based on preparation of detailed site and building design plans, may require preparation of subsequent MTAs that could result in alterations to lots, public easements, or improvements shown on the Vesting Tentative Map and/or minor deviations from the Master Plan or modifications to or new Exactions (but not modified or new Impact Fees during the Fee Lock Period ). Any modification as a result of any subsequent MTA, may be implemented without the need to amend the Vesting Tentative Map or approve a separate tentative map, or amend the Master Plan.
3.3.5 Master Encroachment Agreement for District Utility System . If Developer pursues a District Utility System, then, as part of the Subsequent Approval for the District Utility S ystem, the Parties will enter into a Master Encroachment Agreement to permit encroachment in the public right of way and on public land for a private District Utility System.
The Master Encroachment Agreement shall be on the City’s then current form of master encroachment agreement modified to include the terms identified in Exhibit N, and otherwise shall be in a form approved by the City Attorney.
3.3.6 No Historical Value . City finds and acknowledges that as of the Effective Date of this Agreement no existing structures or buildings present on the Property are of any historical value or significance, regardless of age. So long as this Agreement is in effect, City further agrees not to take actions on its own initiative which may result in City’s designation, recognition, or acknowledgement of the local historical significance of any structure or building
25 present on the Property nor will C ity petition the State or Federal government to add any such structure or building to a State or Federal historic list.
3.4 Permitted Uses. The Permitted Uses of the Property, the density and intensity of use, the maximum height and size of proposed buildings, provisions for reservation or dedication of land for public purposes, the installation, location, and maintenance of on -site and off -site improvements, the installati on and location of public utilities and/or private District Utility Systems and Central Utility Plant , and other terms and conditions of development applicable to the Property shall be those set forth in this Agreement, the Approvals, and any amendments to this Agreement or the Approvals made in accordance with this Agreement , and shall be considered vested for the Term.
3.5 Development Phasing, Timing and Restrictions.
3.5.1 Project Phasing and Timing.
3.5.1.1 The Parties agree that the Project will be developed in the Phases as described in the Phasing Plan attached as Exhibit D. If Developer desires to modify the Phasing Plan , such alteration shall not be deemed a Material Change or in conflict with this Agreement, provided the Phasing Plan , as proposed to be modified , ensures (a) residential development is constructed or facilitated (e.g., by means of Developer’s dedication of Residential Parcels R4a and R6) so that the Project remains in compliance with its jobs -housing linkage obligations under this Agreement; (b) all of Parcel Park 3 (Maude Park) will be dedicated to City and delivered in one phase at one time to allow timely park construction by City; and (c) district parking structures will be constructed in a timely manner to meet long-term parking requirements per the Existing Approvals . In addition, in all events construction of utilities, streets and other infrastructure must occur as and when needed to ensure that each Phase as built ca n function appropriately, as determined by City in its reasonable discretion , if no remaining portion of the Project is developed. The Parties acknowledge and agree that during the Project, Developer shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to determine the allocation of Existing FAR and Nonresidential Bonus FAR based on the remaining balance of each , including allocation of a combination of the two, on any nonresidential development site within the Property, provided that any such allocat ion otherwise complies with the obligations associated with the square footage being allocated, including, without limitation, payment of applicable Impact Fees, compliance with Jobs-Housing Linkage Program requirements, and satisfaction of any Community B enefits that correspond to such square footage.
3.5.1.2 As described in the Jobs-Housing Linkage Program Guidelines and Precise Plan, no Certificate of Occupancy for any nonresidential development constructed in accordance with the Jobs -Housing Linkage Program shall be issued until (i) the associated residential buildings that Developer or its Transferee is constructing have been Completed and Certificate(s) of Occupancy for the number of residential units required by the Program have been issued (see Exhibit E, Table E1) and (ii) Developer has fulfilled the requirements with respect to the condition of the Affordable Housing Sites at dedication and has offered such sites for dedication to City in accordance with this Agreement and the Approvals in order to facilitate development of Affordable Housing in accordance with the Affordable Housing Plan, the Existing Approvals and this Agreement.
26 3.5.1.3 Subject to the foregoing limitations and the terms and conditions in this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge that (i) Developer shall have no obligation to develop or construct the Project or any component of the Project and (ii) Developer cannot guarantee the exact timing or sequence in which Phases will be constructed and whether certain development will be constructed at all . Such decisions depend upon numerous factors which are not all within the control of Developer. It is the intent of City and Developer that, notwithstanding any future amendment to the Applicable City Law or the adoption of any ordinance, resolution, order, policy, plan, rule, procedure , standards, specifications, guidelines or other regulations (whether amended or adopted by means of an ordinance, City Charter amendmen t, initiative, resolution, policy, order, or moratorium, initiated or instituted for any reason whatsoever and adopted by the City Council, Planning Commission, Zoning Administrator, or any other board, commission, or department of the City or any officer or employee thereof, or by the electorate by referendum or initiative), Developer, subject to the terms of this Agreement, including the Phasing Plan requirements, may develop the Project at such rate and times as Developer deems appropriate within the exe rcise of its sole and subjective business judgment. Prior to Commencing Construction of each Phase, Developer shall submit to the City applications for a ll applicable permits and licenses, including zoning, building and fire permits, offsite plans, a phased final map and business licenses , in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in the City Code and the Precise Plan.
3.5.1.4 Subsequent Approval zoning permits consistent with the Existing Approvals are required to be approved for each pha se of development . Certain zoning permits require approval at a duly noticed Administrative Zoning public hearing, while others may be approved administratively by City staff. All required zoning permits must be in effect prior to submitting for building and fire permits. While this Agreement extends the life of the Existing Approvals for the Term of this Agreement as provided in Section 2.3 , in order to maintain consistent review procedures and demonstrate development progress, each Subsequent Approval shall be valid for the term specified in the A pplicable City Law and be eligible for extension as may be allowed by the Applicable City Law; provided, however, per the Existing Approvals, each zoning permit for new constructi on shall have a term of four (4) years with no permit extension and provided further that, during the term of each such Subsequent Approval, Developer shall be entitled to apply for, process and obtain Building Permits and any other City permits and introduce uses in relia nce on that Subsequent Approval during the valid entitlement period of that Subsequent Approval even after termination of this Agreement , provided such termination shall not have occurred a s a result of Developer’s breac h of this Agreement . Should a Subsequent Approval expire, and if Developer still wishes to pursue development pursuant to the Subsequent Approval, Developer shall reapply, pay new Processing Fees, and be subject to the approval process specified in the Existing Approvals, and to the extent not addressed in the Existing Approvals, Applicable City Law.
3.5.1.5 Because the Project will be built out over a number of years, the amount and timing of Required Exactions, Community Benefits and Public Benefits are allocated by Phase. The scope and timing of infrastructure that is associated with specific parcels or buildings, will be consistent with the Approvals and this Agreement. Developer shall meet its obligations to pay Impact Fees and provide the Required Exactions, Community Benefits and Public Benefits described in Approvals and this Agreement as and when required by the terms of this Agreement and the Approvals.
27 3.5.1.6 Developer shall obtain a phased final map and enter into one or more public improvement agreements in the City’s standard form and as approved by the City Attorney before Commencing Construction of any building, infrastructure, or site preparation for land to be dedicated to City. The time limits for completion of off-site improvements as specified in City’s improvement agreement or conditions of the Approvals shall govern, unless other time limits are specified in this Agreement in which case this Agreement shall control. Developer is not required to obtain one final map f or the entire Property, but can obtain multiple final maps, one for each Phase or building parcel, as desired.
3.6 Applicable City Law Governs. Development of the Property shall be subject to all Applicable Law, except as otherwise provided herein. If and to the extent any New City Law, including any change in the City’s Charter, ordinances, resolutions, orders, rules, official policies, standards, specifications, plans, guidelines or other regulations (whether adopted by means of an ordinance, City Charter amendment, initiative, resolution, policy, order, or moratorium, initiated or instituted for any reason whatsoever and adopted by the City Council, Planning Commission, Zoning Administrator, or any other Board, Commission, or department of the Cit y or any officer or employee thereof, or by the electorate by referendum or initiative) is in conflict with the Approvals, Applicable City Law , or the provisions of this Agreement, then the Approvals, Applicable City Law , and the provisions of this Agreeme nt shall prevail, except as otherwise specified herein. For the pur poses of this Section 3.6, any N ew City Law shall be deemed to conflict if it purports to: (a) limit or reduce the density or intensity of the Project, or any part thereof, or otherwise req uire any material reduction in the square footage of a building or any reduction in the number of proposed buildings or relocate, change or reduce other Project improvements from that permitted under this Agreement, Applicable City Law, or the Approvals; (b) limit or reduce the height or bulk of the Project, or any part thereof, or otherwise require any reduction in the height or bulk of individual proposed buildings or other improvements that are part of the Project from that permitted under this Agreement , Applicable City Law, or the Approvals; (c) reduce or relocate the allowed location of vehicular access or parking from that described in the Approvals; (d) prohibit any Project land uses from that permitted under this Agreement, Applicable City Law, or the Approvals; (e) limit or control the rate, timing, phasing, or sequencing of the approval, development, or construction of all or any part of the Project in any manner, including the demolition of existing buildings on the Property , except as otherwise provided in this Agreement , Applicable City Law or the Approvals ; (f) limit the location of building sites, grading or other improvements on the Property in a manner that is inconsistent with the Existing Approvals; ( g) limit or control the abili ty to obtain public utilities, services, infrastructure, or facilities (provided, however, in no event shall the Project be subject to any hookup bans or similar moratoria) or be construed as a reservation of any existing sanitary sewer or potable water capacity); (h) impose requirements for reservation or dedication of land for public purposes or requirements for infrastructure, public improvements, or public utilities, other than as provided in or contemplated by the Approvals or this Agreement; (i) during the Fee Lock Period, increase any Existing Impact Fees by amounts in excess of the existing escalation provisions or impose any new Impact Fees beyond those listed in Exhibit I; (j) require the issuance of permits or approvals by the City other than thos e required under Applicable City Law, except as may be allowed under Section 3.6.1 below; or (k) require or necessitate the re-design of the Project during building permit review following approval of a subsequent zoning permit unless required by Applicable Law or as may be allowed under Section 3.6.1. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Developer from challenging the New City Law, and, to the extent such challenge is successful,
28 this Agreement shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect and neither the Project nor the Property shall be subject to such New City Law.
3.6.1 Potential New City Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the following “New City Laws” shall apply to development of the Property:
3.6.1.1 New City Laws that relate to hearing bodies (except for any New City Laws that create new hearing bodies), petitions, applications, notices, findings, records, hearings, reports, recommendations, appeals, and any other matter of procedure imposed at any time, provided such New City Laws are uniformly applied on a City -wide or Precise Plan area basis to all substantially similar types of Development Projects and properties, and such procedures are not inconsistent with procedures set forth in the Approvals or this Agreement and do not alter the final decision-making body for Subsequent Approvals in place as of Effective Date;
3.6.1.2 Other New City Laws that are determined by City to be reasonably required in order to protect occupants of the Project, and/or residents of City, fr om a condition dangerous to their health or safety, or both, as further described in Section 8.4;
3.6.1.3 Other New City Laws that do not conflict (as defined in Section 3.6 above) with the Applicable City Law, this Agreement or the Approvals, provided such New City Laws are uniformly applied on a Citywide or Precise Plan area basis to all substantially similar types of Development Projects and properties . Developer acknowledges that, as of the Effective Date, the City is currently developing a biodiversity strategy that will result in New City Laws impacting private property development and City policy regarding public property, parks and right -of-way improvements all related to landscaping regulations (including trees), urban forestry requirements, and site design. Additionally, City plans to consider New City Laws related to reducing light pollution in the local environment. In response to any New City Laws with respect to foregoing, Developer agrees to (a) comply with any pl ant (including tree) palette changes adopted as part of any such New City Laws, and (b) prepare a light pollution reduction plan for the Project that will i nclude practices to curtail obtrusive light, while managing energy consumption, disruption of ecosys tem and wildlife, human health and security, provided that (i) any such modified or new landscaping, biodiversity and light pollution requirements are otherwise applicable to the type of development proposed for the Project, and (ii) Developer has not already submitted to City a Building Permit application or other similar City permit applications for the applicable improvements; and
3.6.1.4 Other New City Laws that do not apply to the Property and/or the Project due to the limitations set forth above, but only to the extent that such New City Laws are accepted in writing by Developer in its sole discretion.
To the extent one or more New City Laws apply to the Property and/or Project in accordance with the terms set forth above, the Applicable City Law applicable to the Property and/or Project shall be deemed modified to include such New City Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a disagreement between Developer and City regarding whether a New City Law creates a conflict, then Developer and City shall prom ptly meet and confer and use Good Faith Efforts to reach agreement on (i) whether there is a conflict, (ii) whether the New City Law
29 would result in a cost increase that is material in light of the total cost of the applicable Project phase, and, if so, (iii) ways to substantially offset such material cost increase.
3.6.2 Other New Applicable Laws. If any Other Agency passes any law or regulation or makes changes to any existing law after the Effective Date which prevents or precludes compliance with one or more provisions of this Agreement or requires changes in plans, maps, or permits approved by the City notwithstanding the existence of this Agreement, then the provisions of this Agreement shall, to the extent feasible, be modified or suspended as may be necessary to comply with such new or modified law or regulation. Immediately after enactment of any such new or modified law or regulation, the Parties shall meet and confer and use Good Faith Efforts to determine the feasibility of any such modification or suspension based on the effect such modification or suspension would have on the purposes and intent of this Agreement. In addition, Developer shall have the right to challenge the Other Agency’s new or modified law or regulation preventing compliance with the terms of this Agreement, and, to the extent such challenge is successful, this Agreement shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect; provided, however, that Developer shall not develop the Project in a manner clearly inconsistent with a new or modified law or regulation applicable to the Project and adopted by any Other Agencies, except to the extent that enforcement of such law or regulation is stayed or such law or regulation is repealed or declared unenforceable or such law or regulation i s not applicable to Development Projects as to which a development agreement has been executed. If any such new or modified law or regulation would materially and adversely affect the construction, development, use, operation, or occupancy of the Project o r Property as contemplated by the Approvals then in effect, or any material portion thereof, such that the Project becomes economically infeasible as reasonably determined by Developer, then Developer, subject to its concurrent relinquishment of any and all then-remaining rights to the Precise Plan Development Reserve and rescission of all Approvals with respect to any future development pursuant to such Approvals , shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to the City.
Notwithstanding any such termination, Developer shall be required to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement to pay required Impact Fees and provide the Required Exactions, Community Benefits and Public Benefits described in this Agreement and the Approvals (i) in connection with any new Building or other improvement as to which Developer has Commenced Construction or (ii) in connect ion with any then -existing Subsequent Approval pursuant to which Developer Commences Construction, and without refund of any payments, unwinding of any conveyances, cancellation of dedications or offers of dedication, or otherwise reversing any contributions previously made by Developer. Prior to exercising the foregoing right to terminate this Agreement, Developer shall have the right to require City to meet and confer with Dev eloper in order to determine the potential for changes to the Project that might mitigate the effect of any such new or modified law on the Project’s feasibility. City agrees to use Good Faith Efforts to work with Developer to identify any mutually agreeable changes.
3.6.3 Record of Applicable City Law and Approvals. Prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement, the Parties shall prepare two sets of the Existing Approvals and Applicable City Law applicable to the Project as of the Effective Date, one set for City and one set for Developer, to which shall be added from time to time, Subsequent Approvals and New City Law, so that if it becomes necessary in the future to refer to any of the Approvals or Applicable City Law, there will be a common, current set available to the Parties. Failure to include in the sets of Approvals and Applicable City Law any Subsequent Approval, rule, regulation, policy, standard
30 or specification that is within the Applicable City Law and Approvals as described in this Agreement shall not affect the applicability of such Subsequent Approval, rule, regulation, policy, standard or specification.
3.7 Mitigation Measures and Conditions. If Developer constructs any portion of the Project, Developer shall to the extent applicable to such construction, satisfy and comply with the mitigation measures specified in the MMRP as well as all conditions of the Approvals for the Project, which are incorporated in this Agreement by reference. Developer’s obligations under this Section 3.7 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
3.8 Applicable Codes.
3.8.1 General Rule. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Project shall be constructed in accordance with the provisions of the Construction Codes in effect at the time of application submittal of the appropriate B uilding Permit, Demolition and Grading Permit, Demolition Permit, or other construction permit (s) for the Project.

3.8.2 Exceptions. Notwithstanding Section 3.8.1 , but subject to the qualifications in this Section 3.8.2, if Developer submits a complete building and/or excavation permit application which also includes detailed design plans for substantially all of the District Utility System within a given Phase to City for review, new City Construction Specifications adopted by City after the date of suc h submission which would require redesign of the District Utility System as it has been permitted by City shall not apply. City further agrees that new City Construction Specifications adopted by City after the Effective Date of this Agreement shall not apply to other horizontal infrastructure in the public right -of-way for the Project (e.g. roadways, pedestrian/bicycle paths, sidewalks , public utility infrastructure ), if the application of such new City Construction Specifications would (i) limit or reduce the density or intensity of the Project , (ii) require any material reduction in the square footage, height or bulk of a proposed building or any reduction in the number of proposed buildings , or (iii) require Developer to install new or modified public improvements not required by the Existing Approvals if doing so would result in a cost increase to Developer that is material in light of the total cost of the applicable Project phase.
The exceptions authorized by this Section 3.8.2 shall not apply to the extent new City Construction Specifications have been adopted for the express purpose of either ( a) protecting public health or safety or (b) complying with new regional, State, or Federal laws or regulations .

For any work within the right-of-way of another jurisdiction, Developer shall apply for the appropriate encroachment permit (or as otherwise required by the jurisdiction) from such jurisdiction, and all such work must be in accordance with the jurisdiction’s requirements.
3.10 Optional District Utility System. Developer may propose establishing a private district utilities system serving portions of the Project, including a Central Utility Plant located within Office Building O1 and underground lines, which may provide one or more services including recycled water, wastewater, thermal energy (heating and cooling) and electric power (each discrete activity, a “District Utility System”). Each District Utility System shall be subject to City review and approval as part of a Subsequent Approval, and s hall be subject to all City or Other Agency A pproval and permitting processes required for such District Utility S ystem, including execution of a Master Encroachment Agreement betwe en Developer and City as more specifically set forth in Section 3.3.5 above.
32 3.11 Water and Sewer Capacity. City has found the Project to be consistent with the General Plan which anticipates that there will be sufficient potable water and sanitary sewer capacity to serve future development contemplated by the General Plan, including the Project.
However, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to exempt the Project or the Property or any portion thereof from any water use rationing requirements that may be imposed on the City system on a City-wide basis from time to time or be construed as a reservation of any existing sanit ary sewer or potable water capacity. If District Utility Systems are pursued by Developer, usage fees for sewer shall apply based on actual demand placed on the respective City systems at rate(s) to be determined by City.

ARTICLE 4
FEES, TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS
4.1 Impact Fees.
4.1.1 Impact Fees During Fee Lock Period . During the Initial Term, including any extension thereof for Force Majeure Delay as provided in Section 8.2.2 (“Fee Lock Period”), City shall only impose those Impact Fees that City has adopted as of the Effective Date (“Existing Impact Fees”), as itemized on Exhibit I, subject to all Existing Impact Fee escalation provisions in effect on the Effective Date.
4.1.2 Impact Fees Following Expiration of Fee Lock Per iod. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.1.2 below, following expiration of the Fee Lock Period, any and all new Impact Fees adopted after the Effective Date which are in effect and any increases in Existing Impact Fees above and beyond existin g escalation provisions, if any, shall apply to the Project, provided, however: (a) Developer shall receive a credit of up to Eleve n Million Dollars ($11,000,000), plus the product of $11,000,000 (or the then-remaining balance thereof) times the percentage increase in CCI between the Effective Date and the date on which Developer is obligated to pay any such new Impact Fees or increases (above and beyond existing escalation provisions) in Existing Impact Fees towards any such new or increased Impact Fees; and (b) no new or increased Impact Fees shall be charged on (i) residential development or (ii) redevelopment of Existing FAR (i.e. only net new Office square footage shall be subject to the new or increased Impact Fees).
4.1.3 Impact Fee Credits and Waivers. Developer shall receive credit for the payment of Impact Fees in accordance with the provisions of the City Code and receive waivers from payment of Impact Fees in accordance with Applicable City Law and as identified in this Section 4.1.3.
33 4.1.3.1 Impact Fee Credit for Replacement of Existing Office Space. The Parties acknowledge that the Property currently contains 684,645 gross square feet of space in 23 office buildings, which Developer will need to demolish in order to build out the Project. The current address and square footage of each existing building is set forth in Exhibit C, Table C2. In calculating Impact Fees based on net new square footage , Developer shall receive credit for demolition of existing office buildings on the Property based on Table C2; provided, however, in the event a building is only partially demolished, then such credit shall be based on the actual amount of demolished square footage as set forth in the City-issued Demolition Permit.
Square footage credit will be earned for each ex isting building when demolition is complete as determined by City, and thereafter shall accumulate in an Office-related Impact Fee credit ledger as maintained and updated from time to time, as appropriate, by City. The City will maintain the credit balance as a cumulative total based on demolition completed to date and Demolition Permits and Building Permits issued for new construction to date. Upon Developer’s request, City shall provide Developer a report showing demolished office Impact Fee credit additions and subtractions.
4.1.3.2 Impact Fee Waivers for Grocer. Developer acknowledges the community’s strong interest in locating a grocery store within the Precise Plan area to serve new and existing residents. As such, Developer shall make Good Faith Efforts to negotiate a lease with a grocery store operator to locate in Active Use Space (estimated up to 13,000 square feet within Residential Building R1). To further encourage and support attracting a grocer, City agrees that if Developer succeeds in arranging for a grocery store in Phase 1, upon issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the grocery store, Developer shall receive a credit against future Impact Fees otherwise owed for the Project equal to the Impact Fees paid by Developer for the grocery space, except that Developer shall pay the required Nonresidential Housing Impact Fee for said grocery space.
4.2 Processing Fees. City may charge and Developer is obligated to pay all Processing Fees for processing applications for Subsequent Approvals or otherwise related to implementing development of the Project, plus all cost recovery fees, including for any required supplemental or other further en vironmental review, or any other studies needed in the course of permit review, plan checking and inspection and monitoring, at the rates which are in effect at the time those permits, approvals, entitlements, reviews or inspections are applied for, requested or required. By entering into this Agreement Developer accepts and shall not protest or challenge imposition of the types and amounts of Processing Fees in effect as of the Effective Date. Developer acknowledges that: (a) certain application Processing Fees may be set in fixed amounts for each application or task as stated in City’s Master Fee Schedule, which is charged at the amount in effect as of application submission and paid as a condition to City accepting an applic ation; (b) certain application Processing Fees may be based on actual staff time worked, which is charged at the hourly rate set by City for the work at the time the work occurs, which may be increased from time to time, and which shall be paid by advance deposit which City may require to be supplemented from time to tim e; and (c) certain application Processing F ees may be required to pay for third party assistance, including but not limited to plan checkers, environmental consultants and outside legal counsel, which also shall be paid i n full prior to commencement of such work.
The above noted Processing Fees may also be captured in a separate Staffing and Processing Agreement executed by the Parties which could support implementation of the Project in a timely fashion. If the Parties enter into a separate Staffing and Processing Agreement, then, in the event
34 of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Staffing and Processing Agreement, the provisions of the Staffing and Processing Agreement shall control.
4.3 Connection F ees. Developer shall pay a ny Connection F ee assessed by utility providers, City and Other Agencies at the rates in effect from time to time.
4.4 Other Agency Fees . Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude City from (i) collecting Other Agency Fees from Developer that are imposed on the Project by an Other Agency having jurisdiction over the Project and which City collects on behalf of such Other A gency; or (ii) withholding permit issuance until proof of payment by Developer of such Other Agency Fees has been received by the City if such withholding of permits is a City-wide practice.
4.5 Taxes and Assessments . Developer covenants and agrees to pay prior to delinquency (i) all existing taxes and assessments and (ii) subject to the terms of this Section 4.5, any and all new taxes or assessments that are adopted after the Effective Date. As of the Effective Date, C ity is unaware of any pending efforts to initiate, or consider applications for new or increased special taxes or assessments covering the Property, or any portion thereof. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, City shall retain the ability to initiate o r process applications for the formation of new assessment districts or imposition of new special taxes covering all or any portion of the Property, but only if such taxes or assessments are adopted by or after voter approval, or approval by the landowners subject to such taxes or assessments, as applicable, and are imposed on other land and Development P rojects of the same general category within the jurisdiction of City in a reasonably proportional manner as determined by City, and, as to assessments, onl y if the impact thereof does not fall disproportionately on the Property as compared to the benefits accruing to the Property as indicated in the engineers report for such assessment district. Nothing herein shall be construed so as to limit Developer from exercising whatever rights it may have in connection with protesting or otherwise objecting to the imposition of taxes or assessments on the Property. In the event an assessment district is lawfully formed to provide funding for services, improvements, maintenance or facilities which are substantially the same as (i) those services, improvements, maintenance or facilities being funded by the Impact Fees or Required Exactions to be paid by Developer under the Approvals or this Agreement, or (ii) those servi ces, improvements, maintenance, or facilities that Developer is obligated to construct or perform pursuant to this Agreement or the Approvals, then any such Impact Fees or Required Exactions payable by Developer, or obligations to construct or perform, shall be subject to reduction/credit in an amount equal to Developer’s new or increased assessment under the assessment district.
Alternatively, the new assessment district shall reduce/credit Developer’s new assessment in an amount equal to such Impact Fees or Exactions to be paid by Developer or the value of the work or service performed or to be performed under the Approvals or this Agreement. In calculating any reduction or credit, the Parties shall take into account the timing of payment of the Impact Fee or Exaction and the new or increased assessment.
4.6 Failure to Pay Fees . In addition to any other remedies provided for by this Agreement, the failure of Developer to timely pay any applicable fees shall be grounds for City to refuse issuance of a ny permit required for development , and, if a permit has nevertheless been issued, City may refuse issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy or Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for such building. City shall promptly issue the Certificate of Occupancy or Temporary
35 Certificate of Occupancy, following Developer’s payment of the applicable fee(s) or Developer’s cure or satisfaction of the fee payment obligation in accordance with this Agreement.
ARTICLE 5
EXACTIONS, COMMUNITY BENEFITS AND PUBLIC BENEFITS
5.1 Required Exactions. In addition to the mitigation measures specified in the MMRP and other Exactions that City may require under the Approvals, Applicable Law and this Agreement, Developer agrees that the Exactions set forth in this Section 5.1 (collectively, “Required Exactions ”) are of particular importance to the City and the community, and Developer accepts such Required Exactions and agrees that such Required Exactions are justified, appropriate and in compliance with Applicable Law . Developer agrees not to challenge any Required Exactions and to deliver such Required Exactions as and when required by this Agreement and the Approvals.
5.1.1 Affordable Housing . As more fully set forth in the Conditions of Approval and the Affordable Housing Plan, Developer shall satisfy its below-market-rate housing obligation under Article XIV (Affordable Housing Program) of Chapter 36 (Zoning) of the City Code by implementing an alternative mitigation for providing affordable housing pursuant to City Code section 36.40.30 in accordance with City’s BMR housing program administrative guidelines (“BMR Alternative Mitigation”) as follows:

5.1.2 Parkland Obligations. As more fully set forth in the Parks Delivery Plan and the Existing Approvals , Developer shall satisfy its obligation under Chapter 41 of the City Code to dedicate 0.006 acres of land per new market rate dwelling unit, or pay an in-lieu fee (“Parkland Requirement”), by undertaking the obligations set forth in Sections 5.1.2.1 through
5.1.2.6 below (collectively, “Parkland Obligations”). The Parcel Park 1, Parcel Park 2, Parcel Park 3 and Parcel Park 4 sites shall consist of a separate legal parcel(s) , with each parcel having access to a public street, buil dings demolished and subsurface improvements removed, rough graded, site frontage improvements complete, and utilities installed to the parcel line and otherwise in the condition required by Section 5.4 and the Existing Approvals , whereupon Developer shall have no further obligation with respect to such parcels.
5.1.2.1 Future Maude Park. Developer shall dedicate to City fee title to approximately 5.11 acres, but no less than 5.0 acres, for future Maude Park within the times set forth in the Parks Delivery Plan;
36 5.1.2.2 Bridge Open Space . Developer shall d edicate to City fee title to and, as an interim compliance measure, provide an irrevocable offer of land dedication per Section 5.1.2.6 of approximately 1.36 acres for future Bridge Open Space within the times set forth in the Parks Delivery Plan;
5.1.2.3 Gateway Park. Developer shall dedicate to City fee title to the approximately 0.50 acres of land for future Gateway Park within the times set forth in the Parks Delivery Plan;

The final location of the public access easement areas shall be as shown on the applicable phased final map in accordance with the Existing Approvals and execut ed and recorded prior to issuance of Building Permits for the building(s) abutting the multimodal pathways on the same parcel . Issuance of Certificate(s) of Occupancy for building(s) abutting the multimodal pathways, or applicable portions thereof, shall be conditioned upon Developer’s satisfactory Completion of construction of the multi -model connection pathways, or applicable portion thereof, in accordance with plans and specification s approved by the City.
5.1.2.5 Ellis POPA Open Space. Developer and City shall enter into City’s standard form Covenants and Agreements Relating to Public Access and Open Space, as modified pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 5.3 below and the Ellis POPA Open Space Terms attached as Exhibit H to this Agreement (“POPA Agreement”), providing for the public’s rights to access and use for recreational purposes the Ellis POPA Open Space and City’s rights to use the Ellis Community Pavilion and Ellis Plaza, and record the POPA Agreement in the Official Records when specified by Section 5.3.2.3. The final location of the public access and use areas shall be as shown on the applicable phased final map . Execution of the POPA Agreement shall occur concurrently with the phased final map and prior to issuance of the Building Permits for the building(s) abutting the Ellis POPA Open Space on the same parcel. Developer, at its expense, shall develop the approximately 2.87 acre Ellis POPA Open Space in accordance with the requirements of the Approvals and this Agreement within the time set forth in the Parks Delivery Plan. Issuance of Certificate(s) of Occupancy for building(s) abutting the Ellis POPA Open Space shall be conditioned upon Developer’s satisfactory Completion of construction of the Ellis POPA Open Space, including Ellis Community Pavilion and Ellis Plaza, in accordance with plans and specifications approved by the City (see Section 5.1.2.6 regarding granting of occupancy for the Ellis POPA Open Space).
5.1.2.6 Interim Park land Compl iance. Due to phased
development of the Project, full compliance with the Project’s parkland dedication requirements is not feasible at each Phase. As a result, Developer must provide interim compliance to the City to ensure the full parkland obligation will be met at each Phase should Developer fail to Complete all P hases of the Project. Developer is responsible for providing interim compliance in the following forms, based on the Parks Delivery Plan and the Approvals: (a) prior to Building Permit issuance for the first building in Phase 1, (i) dedicate to City fee title to Gateway Park, (ii) grant to City an irrevocable offer of land dedication of approximately 1.36 acres for Bridge Open Space as
37 shown on the Existing Approvals for Parcels Park 1 and 2, and (iii) satisfy Developer’s remaining obligation through delivery of an irrevocable standby letter of credit in an amount equal to the in- lieu fee value of the open space deficit that remains based on the number of residential units in the Phase and inclusive of the portion of POPA Open Space yet to be Completed (“ Open Space Deficit”), subject to annual escalation per Exhibit G; (b) Complete construction of a portion (approximately 1.94 acres in Phase 1) of the Ellis POPA Open Space in accordance with the timing set forth in the Parks Delivery Plan; (c) prior to Building Permit issuance for the first building in Phase 2, (i) dedicate to City fee title to the Bridge Open Space , and (ii) satisfy Developer’s remaining obligation through delivery of a reissued/replacement irrevocable standby letter of credit in an amount equal to the in-lieu fee value of the Open Space Deficit , subject to annual escalation per Exhibit G, after which City shall return the first Open Space Deficit letter of credit to Developer; and (d) Complete construction of a portion (approximately 0.93 acres in Phase 2) of the Ellis POPA Open Space in accordance with the timing set forth in the Parks D elivery Plan.
Developer anticipates (i) Completion of the Phase 1 Ellis POPA Open Space within one (1) year after issuance of any Certificate of Occupancy or Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for Residential Buildings R1 or R2, whichever is Completed later, and (ii) Completion of Phase 2 Ellis POPA Open Space within one (1) year after issuance of any Certificate of Occupancy or Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for Office Building O1. Accordingly, City will retain the letter of credit equivalent to the i n-lieu fee value until such time each Phase of the Ellis POPA Open Space is Completed. Thereafter, only with Subsequent Approval of Phase 3 (Residential Buildings R3, R4b, and R5) and dedication to City of land for Maude Park , as shown on the Existing Approvals for Parcel Park 3, will the Project’s parkland obligation be fully satisfied.
Each letter of credit shall be from an issuer and in a form reasonably acceptable to City and approved by the City Attorney. Each letter of credit shall provide that it will automatically be extended annually unless the issuer notifies City sixty (60) or more days before the expiration date that issuer elects not to extend it. Annual renewal of the letter of credit shall be timed to coincide with annual review of this Agreement, at which time the annual escalator factor shall be applied and incorporated into the new letter of credit. If the issuer of a letter of credit elects not to approve annual renewal of its letter of credit, or not to approve the annual escalator increase, Developer shall at least fifteen (15) days before expiration of the letter of credit obtain a replacement letter of credit from another issuer, subject to City’s approval of the issuer and the form of letter of credit. City shall have the right to draw the full amount of a letter of credit that is about to expire and is not being renewed or replaced, to ensure City has security for Developer’s remaining parkland compliance obligation. The dollar amounts of the l etters of credit may be proportionately reduced from time to time as Developer meets the Project’s parkland obligations; any such reduction(s) shall be subject to City’s review and approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed . City shal l return the applicable letter of credit to Developer promptly following Developer’s satisfaction of the applicable parkland obligation.
5.2 Bonus FAR Requirements. As of the Effective Date, in order for the Project to obtain the right to Nonresidential or Residential Bonus FAR, as applicable , in the Precise Plan , Developer shall implement the following measures in accordance with the Precise Plan:
5.2.1 Jobs/Housing Linkage. To ensure that Developer complies with its obligation to Complete construction of housing in consideration for the allotment of net new office space as required by the Precise Plan and the City’s administrative guidelines for the Jobs-Housing
38 Linkage Program (“Jobs/Housing Linkage Requirement ”), Developer agrees that the various Project components will be developed in Phases in accordance with the Phasing Plan, as it may be amended as provided in Section 3.5.1, and that Developer’s ability to obtain Subsequent Approvals for Office uses and Office Buildings shall be conditioned upon Developer achieving the residential development related Completion and land dedication milestones set forth in the Phasing Plan.
5.2.2 Green-Building Measures. Developer shall design the Project to meet the following green building measures per the Precise Plan:
5.2.2.1 Developer shall meet the intent of LEED BD+C Platinum or equivalent green building standard for all nonresidential Buildings.
5.2.2.2 Developer shall achieve a minimum of 120 points on the GreenPoint Rated sy stem (or equivalent ) and provide sub -metering, or use other appropriate technology that tracks individual energy use, for each residential unit in a Residential Building.
5.2.2.3 All new construction (residential and nonresidential) shall meet the green building standards in section 3.10 of the Precise Plan.
5.2.3 Waiver of Right to Density Bonus . In consideration of the rights conferred on Developer under this Agreement, Developer shall not apply for or seek to develop any portion of the Property under any density or other development bonus available under Applicable Law, as further described below.
5.2.3.1 The Parties acknowledge that various state and local laws, including but not limited to California Government Code section 65915 et seq. (“State Density Bonus Law”), Zoning Ordinance section 36.40 et seq. (“City Affordable Housing Program ”) and Zoning Ordinance section 36.48.65 et seq. (“City Density Bonus Law ”), as they may be amended from time to time, generally allow additional residential and/or non -residential density, incentives and modifications to development requirements for residential or mixed -use developments in exchange for inclusion of a percentage of on-site below market rate units, or the dedication of land suitable for construction of on -site affordable housing units. By entering into this Agreement, and adopting the Existing Approvals, City is allowing significantly more development than what is allowed under existing zoning and more that what would be allowed under existing zoning in conjunction with the State Density Bonus Law, City Affordable Housing Program, City Density Bonus Law, or any other state or local development bonus program.
5.2.3.2 By entering into this Agreement, Developer voluntarily and intentionally waives its ability to use the State D ensity Bonus Law, City Affordable Housing Program, or City Density Bonus Law, as they may be amended from time to time, or any other process or mechanism allowed under state or local law now or in the future to increase, modify, expand or change the amount of or design for development, both residential and nonresidential, on the Property from the Project as described in and regulated by the Existing Approvals and this Agreement. Developer agrees to pursue development on the Property solely within the regulatory framework of the Existing Approvals and this Agreement, with the understanding that the only allowed modifications, exceptions and variances to the Project are those afforded under the parameters and processes explicitly established therefor in the Ex isting Approvals and this
39 Agreement and allowed by Applicable City Law. City would not be entering into this Agreement and approving the Project, including the Existing Approvals, were Developer able to use any other development bonus in conjunction therewith, and City has negotiated this Agreement based on the specific land use program and Project design as established in this Agreement and in the Existing Approvals, inclusive of the modification processes allowed therein.
5.2.3.3 City, or any nonprofit affordable housing developer (s) in partnership with the City, may utilize the State Density Bonus Law , City Affordable Housing Program, or City Density Bonus Law, as they may be amended from time to time, or any other process or mechanism allowed under state or loca l law now or in the future, in any capacity to obtain entitlements for or receive funding for affordable housing development(s) on the Affordable Housing Sites, or to increase, modify, expand or change the amount of or design for residential development on the Affordable Housing Sites . No process or project pursued by City or any nonprofit affordable housing developer(s) on the Affordable Housing Sites shall (a) modify Developer’s rights or obligations under this Agreement or the Approvals, or (b) require or cause, or would reasonably be anticipated to require or cause (i) Developer to provide or pay for materially more infrastructure to serve or as a result of such additional density or (ii) any additional or new analysis under CEQA with respec t to any Subsequent Approval; nor shall the Approvals or this Agreement restrict, constrain or affect in any way any future affordable housing-related actions, developments, or funding by or on behalf of City or any nonprofit affordable housing developer(s).
5.2.4 Community Benefits .

Because the Existing Approvals for the Project authorize up to 397,936 square feet of Residential Bonus FAR and 622,925 square feet of Nonresidential Bonus FAR, the Parties agree that the Project’s minimum community benefit contribut ion, with value calculated as of the Effective Date, must be no less than $19,143,457.00, plus the product of this value, or the then outstanding balance thereof, multiplied by the percentage increase in CPI between the Effective Date and the date upon which the full obligation is met. To satisfy the foregoing requirement, and to receive Nonresidential or Residential Bonus FAR as applicable, and the other benefits afforded to Developer under this Agreement, including vested rights, Developer shall make the payments and provide the benefits and contributions set forth in this Section 5.2 (collectively, “Community Benefits”), which has a total estimated value of Nineteen Million One Hundred Forty -Three Thousand Four Hundred Fifty Seven Dollars ($ 19,143,457.00), and which the Parties agree provide City with community benefits required for the Project under the Precise Plan. Developer agrees that the Community Benefits are justified, appropriate and in compliance with Applicable Law as a consequence of City approval of the Existing Approvals , and Developer accepts and covenants not to challenge any of the Community Benefits.

5.3 Public Benefits. Developer agrees to provide the following voluntary “Public Benefits” to benefit the City and its residents, as additional consideration for the benefits, including vested rights, afforded to Developer under this Agreement.
5.3.1 Second People Centric Fund Payment. Prior to issuance of the first Building Permit for an Office Building in the Project, Developer shall pay City an additional People Centric Funds payment equal to the sum of: One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) plus the product of $1,000,000 times t he percentage increase in CPI between the Effective Date and the date on which such payment is made (“Second People Centric Fund Payment”).
5.3.2 Parkland and POPA Open Space Benefits. Developer shall provide the following additional Park and POPA-related benefits:
5.3.2.1 Maude Park Public Amenities Funding. To facilitate City’s ability to design and improve Maude Park in a timely manner and contribute towards an element or unique amenity within the park as determined through the City’s park design process, Developer shall pay to City within the times set forth in the Parks Delivery Plan an amount equal to the sum of Nine Million Dollars ($9,000,000) plus the product of $9,000,000 (or the remaining balance thereof) times the percentage increase in CCI between the Effective Date and the date on which such payment is made (“Maude Park Developer Funding”). Developer shall provide the Maude Park Developer Funding to City as follows : (a) twenty -two percent (22%) of the to tal funding amount shall be provided to the City for design and design -related costs when specified in Section 5.3.2.2.B ; and (b) seventy -eight percent (78%) of the total funding amount shall be provided to City for construction of Maude Park, including a unique element(s), amenity(ies) or improvement(s) (such as a nature play area (s), custom play structure (s), aquatic facilit y, community pavilion (s), structure (s) or building (s), outdoor amphitheater, botanical garden, greenhouse, etc.) as identified through the City’s park design process for Maude Park , when specified in Section 5.3.2.2.C. In consideration of Developer’s commitment to provide the Maude Park Developer Funding and make a sizeable land dedication for Maude Park, the City has agreed to Developer ’s involvement in the park development process as outlined in Exhibit G and as further described in Section 5.3.2.2.
City will make Good Faith Efforts to proceed through the park design and construction process as outlined in Exhibit G, Table G2 with Developer involvement as noted in the Table and Section 5.3.2.2 below. Upon notification of anticipated land dedication by Developer to City as described in Section 5.3.2.2.A and included in Table G2, City will assign a Project Manager within six months of said notification and will maintain a Project Manager throughout the duration of the design and construction process for Maude Park. The park design process is a public process subject to adjustments in schedule or process in response to input from the community or decision makers (e.g. Parks and Recreation Commission, Visual Arts Committee, or City Council) and as such, the schedule in Table G2 may be adjusted from time to time.
42 5.3.2.2 Developer Involvement in Maude Park Design. As outlined in Exhibit G, Table G2, Developer shall be involved in the Maude Park design process as follows:
A. Developer shall notify the City in writing at least two (2) years prior to the date Parcel Park 3 (Maude Park) will be dedicated and made available for City’s sole use in accordance with the City’s land acceptance requirements in the Approvals.
B. Within ninety (90) days after providing City the
notice specified in Section 5.3.2.2.A, Developer shall provide the first installment of Maude Park Developer Funding as provided in Section 5.3.2.1.
C. At least ninety (90) days prior to City’s completion of 100% park design plans and Council approval thereof (Step 7 in Exhibit G, Table G2), Developer shall (i) deliver Parcel Park 3 to the City in accordance with the City land acceptance requirements, as specified in the Approvals, and (ii) pay to City the second installment of Maude Park Developer Funding per Section 5.3.2.1. Developer acknowledges that if it cannot deliver Parcel Park 3 to City within this timeframe , City will pause the design process until the point at which the land is available, as City requires ownership and possession of the land to complete 100% park design plans and initiate the public contracting/bidding process.
D. Following design approval by the City Council, if the City determines proceeding with construction of Maude Park is not feasible due to lack of funding, staff resources, or a combination thereof, then City, at its sole discretion, can proceed per subsections (a), (b), or (c) below. Nothing in t his Section 5.3.2.2 shall prohibit the City from entering into an agreement with Developer to assist in the construction of Maude Park or any portion thereof.
(a) Should City determine it does not have
adequate funding available to proceed with construction of Maude Park, then City and Developer will meet and confer to determine the feasibility of entering into a potential funding agreement between the Parties, whereby Developer provides funding for construction of Maude Park to City and City commits to paying back such funding with interest over time. City would then proceed with bidding and managing the construction.
(b) Should City determine it does not have
adequate staffing resources to proceed with construction of Maude Park, then City and Developer will meet and confer to determine the feasibility of entering into a potential reimbursement agreement between the Parties, whereby Developer constructs the improvements and City reimburses Developer a portion of the costs of such work . The reimbursement agre ement would be in City’s standard agreement form and subject to all applicable federal, state, and local requirements for construction projects utilizing City funds. All such work would be subject to Prevailing Wage Laws.
(c) Should City determine it does not have
adequate funding or staffing resources available to proceed with construction of Maude Park, then
43 the City will meet and confer with Developer to determine feasibility of pursuing both agreements per subsections (a) and (b).
5.3.2.3 City Use of Ellis POPA Op en Space . Developer shall make the Ellis POPA Open Space available to City and the public as described in the POPA Agreement, which shall be recorded against the Ellis POPA Open Space immediately following recordation of the phased final map creating the parcel on which such space is located. The POPA Agreement shall provide, among other things, for (a) City’s right to use the approximately 1,000 square foot stand -alone community room located in the Ellis POPA Open Space (“ Ellis Community Pavilion”) for City Events, and (b) City’s right to use the p laza portion of the Ellis POPA Open Space located directly adjacent to the R1 Residential Building (“ Ellis Plaza”) for City Events, on terms set forth in Exhibit H and the POPA Agreement.
5.3.3 Bridge Concept and Design
5.3.3.1 Bridge Feasibility Study . The Parties acknowledge that Developer expended Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000 ) (“Bridge Concept Funding”) during the City’s review of the Master Plan to retain an engineering firm to prepare a conceptual study for a proposed above-ground pedestrian-bicycle bridge to cross the VTA light rail corridor entitled “Structure Conceptual Design Memorandum – East Whisman/Bicycle Pedestrian Overcrossing” by Biggs Cardosa Associates dated September 13, 2022, and on file with the City (“Bridge Feasibility Study”). The Bridge Feasibility Study preliminarily confirmed that the proposed Bridge Open Space site is adequate in size and can reasonably accommodate a utility encroachment for a District Utility System serving the Project in tandem with future bridge infrastructure in accordance with current VTA and accessibility requirements. The Bridge Concept Funding has been expended, and City shall have no obligation to contribute to or reimburse any part of the Bridge Concept Funding, regardless of whether or not Developer proceeds with development of the Project.
5.3.3.2 Bridge Design Process and Potential Conflicts . The design and structural configuration of the pedestrian-bicycle bridge are not known at this time. The Parties anticipate that the bridge design process will likely occur after Developer has installed the District Utility System, should Developer opt to pursue such system. City will utilize the Bridge Feasibility Study as background and a starting point in the City-led bridge design process with public input from the community and City Council. During the design process, the City will conduct outreach with adjacent property owners and make Good Faith Efforts to minimize adverse impacts on the Project and any District Utility System improvements that Developer may have previously installed. Developer acknowledges that City cannot guarantee that no conflicts will arise between t he bridge and previously installed District Utility System improvements. To the extent conflicts do arise , City will meet and confer with Developer to discuss the identified conflicts and collaborate with Developer to identify potential solutions to limit impacts to the District Utility System improvements, which may include, among other things, potentially revising the bridge design to avoid conflicts with District Utility System infrastructure or temporary conflicts related to construction, subject to Developer agreeing to pay the incremental increase in design and construction costs associated with such redesign . The existence of District Utility System improvements in the immediate vicinity of the crossing of the VTA/CPUC property shall not constitute a reason to redesign the bridge nor a basis for Developer to contribute funds to City;
44 however, the cost of incremental adjustments to the bridge design or temporary construction impacts that are necessary due to the location of District Utility System improvements, which were not previously disclosed in the Bridge Feasibility Study or known at that time, may constitute costs for which City may seek contribution from Developer. Developer agrees not to oppose or delay construction of the bridge or its infrastructure. Further, if relocation is required by City, Developer shall relocate, at its sole cost, any utilities or District Utility System improvements as may be necessary to accommodate the bridge and its infrastructure . Any such relocation shall be in accordance with the separately executed Master Encroachment Agreement.
5.3.3.3 Potential Funding Agreement. If City determines it does not have adequate funding available to proceed with construction of the bridge, City and Developer will meet and confer to deter mine the feasibility of entering into a potential funding agreement between the Parties, whereby Developer would provide funding for construction of the bridge and City would commit to paying back Developer over time (with interest). The City would then proceed with bidding and managing the construction. Nothing in this Section 5.3.3 shall prohibit the City from entering into a funding agreement with Developer, whereby Developer constructs all or a portion of the bridge, and City pays Developer an agreed upon amount for such work.
5.3.4 Public Art Benefit. Developer shall fund and construct, or cause to be constructed, an artistic feature in the Ellis POPA Open Space, with a cost of not less than the sum of: One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) plus the product of $1,000,000 times the percentage increase in CPI between the Effective Date and the date on which such art feature is installed (“Public Art”). At the time of zoning permit application for development that includes the Ellis POPA Open Space, Developer shall provide , as part of application: (i) the vision statement and design principles for the Public Art, (ii) the proposed location(s) for the Public Art, (iii) the process and timeline for production and installation, and (iv) the conceptual design(s) of the Public Art. At the time of Building Permit submittal, Developer shall provide to City: (i) the name of the artist, designer, or design studio and their bios and representative work, and (ii) and the final Public Art design, which shall be subject to City review and approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Upon City’s request, Developer shall provide confirmation of the cost of the Public Art, including costs, commissions, and fees associated with procurement, creation, and installation of such Public Art. The Public Art location shall be included on the Building Permit for construction of the Ellis POPA Open Space and installation of the Public Art shall be completed prior to final inspection under that Building Permit.
5.3.5 Shared Parking. Developer’s obligation to provide free public parking for park visitors shall be set forth in a separate Shared Parking Use Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to City and approved by the City Attorney to include, among other terms, the Shared Parking Use Agreement Terms identified in Exhibit K. The Shared Parking Use Agreement shall be recorded against the parcel(s) on which the Shared Parking will be located at the time the phased final map creating such parcel (s) is recorded and, in all events, prior to issuance of a Building Permit for the Parking Structure P2.
5.3.6 Tax Point of Sale Designation. Developer shall use Good Faith Efforts to the extent allowed by Applicable Law to require all persons providing bulk lumber, concrete, structural steel , and pre -fabricated building components, such as roof trusses, to be used in connection with construction and development of, or incorporated into, the Project, to (a) obtain a
45 use tax direct payment permit; (b) elect to obtain a subcontractor permit for the job site of a contract valued at Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or more; or (c) otherwise designate the applicable portion of the Property as the place of use of material used in construction of the Project in order to have the local portion of the sales and use tax distributed directly to City instead of through the County-wide pool. Unless Developer demonstrates to City that such information is not reasonably obtainable, then Developer shall on an annual basis provide City with such information as shall be reasonably requested by City regarding subcontractors working on the Project with contracts in excess of the amount set forth above, including a description of all applicable work and the dollar value of such subcontracts. City may use such information to contact each subcontractor who may qualify for local allocation of sales and use taxes to City. To facilitate implementation of these tax point of sale designation requirements, Developer shall use Good Faith Efforts to include in each contract for the construction of Building core and/or shell work the following contract provision:
“Contractor shall, to the extent allowed by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration and applicable sales and use tax laws and regulations (“ Sales and Use Tax Laws”), coordinate with the City of Mountain View to designate the City of Mountain View as the place of us e of any materials, goods , or services, purchased by C ontractor and the origin of any local sales taxes generate d by Contractor and its subcontractors; provided, however, in no event shall Contractor be required to do anything that is in violation of or inconsistent with such Sales and Use Tax Laws.”
5.4 Condition of Dedicated Properties. Title to all real property to be granted or dedicated by Developer to City (or its assignee or designee) pursuant to the Existing Approvals and this Agreement, including dedication of land for parks and Affordable Housing, shall be free and clear of all title defects, liens, encumbrances, conditions, covenants, restrictions, or other such exceptions of record or known to Developer, except for incidental easements and liens for current, non-delinquent taxes and assessments and such other incidental exceptions, if any, as City may approve in its reasonable discretion, and Developer shall obtain any subordination agreements, deed of trust reconveyanc es or other documentation as necessary to remove any exceptions reasonably disapproved by City. To the extent any Hazardous Materials are located on, under, or about such dedicated property or the dedicated property is a Contaminated Site, then to the extent not capable of mitigation by City or the affordable housing developer subject to Section 5.4.1 below, Developer, at its expense, shall be responsible for abating and remediating or causing the abatement and remediation of such property in compliance wit h Applicable Law and City requirements as identified in the Existing Approvals so that City may make use of such property for its intended use as a park or Affordable Housing Site without having to incur any expenses to abate or remediate Hazardous Materials or Contaminated Site conditions.
5.4.1 Developer Payment of Vapor Intrusion Control Costs. D eveloper acknowledges that vapor intrusion controls may be required under Applicable Law a s part of the development for residential uses of Residential Parcels R4a and R6. As such Developer shall pay to City an amount equal to the product of Thirteen and No/100 Dollars ($13.00) (subject to annual escalations based on increases in CCI during the period from the Effective Date and the date on which such payment is made) multiplied by the number of square feet in the proposed building’s ground floor area subject to mitigation as described and executed in accordance with Existing Approvals.

All of the above remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive of one another, and the exercise of any one or more of these remedies shall not constitute a waiver or election with respect to any other available remedy.
7.2 Notice of Breach.
7.2.1 Prior to the initiation of any action for relief specified in Section 7.1 above because of an alleged breach of this Agreement, the Party claiming breach shall deliver to the other Party a written notice of breach (a “ Notice of Breach ”). The Notice of Breach shall specify with reasonable particularity the reasons for the allegation of breach and the manner in which the alleged breach may be satisfactorily cured.
7.2.2 The breaching Party shall cure the breach within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Notice of Breach; provided, however, if the nature of the alleged breach is nonmonetary and such that it cannot reasonably be cured within said thirty (30) day period, then the commencement of the cure within such time period and the diligent prosecution to completion of the cure thereafter at the earliest practicable date shall be deemed to be a cure, provided that if the cure is not so diligent ly prosecuted to completion, then no additional cure period sha ll be required to be provided. If the alleged breach is cured within the time provided above, then no default shall exist, and the noticing Party shall take no further action to exercise any remedies available hereunder.

8.2 Permitted Delays.
8.2.1 Force Majeure. Subject to the limitations set forth below, the time within which either Party shall be required to perform any act under this Agreement shall be extended by a period of time equal to the number of days during which performance of such act is delayed unavoidably and beyond the reasonable control of the Party seeking the extension of time, by any of the following events: (1) strikes, lockouts, stoppages, boycotts, and other labor difficulties; (2) acts of God; (3) unusually severe weather, but only to the extent that such weather

Times of performance under this Agre ement may also be extended in writing by the mutual agreement of the City Manager and Developer. Developer’s inability or failure to obtain financing shall not be deemed to be a cause outside the reasonable control of the Developer and shall not be the basis for Force Majeure D elay unless such inability, failure, or delay is a direct result of an Economic Recession. “Economic Recession” means two consecutive quarters of negative GDP recession as defined and determined by the National Bureau of Economic Rese arch during which the cumulative GDP decline is -3.0% or more.
8.2.2 Extension of Term. The Term may be extended by one or more Force Majeure Delays, up to a cumulative maximum of two (2) years. The extension(s) for Force Majeure Delays can either be applied to the Initial Term or Extended Term or a combination thereof, but in no event shall the Term exceed twenty two (22) years. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent the Parties from later agreeing, each in it s sole and absolute discretion, to a further extension of the Term, but any such extension will be subject to processing as a Material Change in accordance with the Development Agreement Statute and Development Agreement Ordinance, as they may be amended from time to time.
8.3 Certain Waivers. City shall have the right , but not the obligation, to waive or reduce the burden of provisions of the Approvals as they apply to any portion of the Property, with the consent of the Developer of such portion, so long as: (a) the waiver, reduction, or revision does not conflict with the land uses or improvements that are the subject of the Approvals (or any permit or approval granted thereunder); (b) such reduction or waiver does not increase the burden imposed upon a portion of the Property owned by any other Developer or property owner; (c) the waiver, reduction, or revision is not inconsistent with the purpose and goals of the General Plan or Precise

ARTICLE 10
TRANSFERS AND ASSIGNMENTS
10.1 Transfers and Assignments. Developer shall have the right to convey, assign, or transfer all of its right, title and interest in and to all or any part of the Property (a “ Transfer”) with the express written consent of City, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided Developer also transfers to such party ( the “Transferee”) all of Developer’s interest, rights, or obligations under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Property that is the subject of the Transfer (the “ Transferred Property”). Because a Phase may contain different product types, the Parties agree there may be more than one Developer in each Phase. As set forth in Section 10.2, Developer and the Transferee shall make clear in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement which party(ies) ar e assuming responsibility for (i) completion of the public improvements, park improvements and POPA Open Space improvements in that Phase and (ii) satisfaction of the payment and other obligations applicable to that Phase . Notwithstanding the foregoing, Developer may Transfer this Agreement, without City’s consent, upon delivery to City of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and satisfaction of the other requirements in this Article 10, to (a) an Affiliated Party, (b) Lendlease, and (c) any Lendlease Affiliate. In the case of a Transfer to an Affiliated Party, Lendlease or any Lendlease Affiliate, Developer shall provide verifiable documentation that the affiliated Transferee qualifies as an Affiliated Party or constitutes Lendlease or a Lend lease Affiliate, with such documentation in each case to be sufficient and acceptable in City’s reasonable discretion, and such Transfer shall not occur without City’s written confirmation of such qualification , which City shall provide within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of adequate supporting documentation. The Parties acknowledge that the following constitute and are qualified as Affiliated Parties of Developer: (i) Alphabet, Inc., the parent company of Google LLC; (ii) any Affiliated Party of Alphabet, Inc.; and (iii) any entity resulting from the merger or acquisition of Alphabet, Inc. or Google LLC, or division of Alphabet, Inc. or Google LLC , or by operation of law or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction . City acknowledges that Develo per currently intends to Transfer the Project’s residential parcels to Lendlease Affiliates.
10.1.1 Non-Transfers. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section
10.1.1, the following shall not be considered a “Transfer” and shall not require the City’s consent:
(i) leases, subleases, licenses, easements, or other occupancy agreements; financing transactions, such as sale-leaseback or grant of a mortgage or deed of trust , for purposes of financing development of the Project; or any foreclosure thereof or deed-in-lieu with respect thereto; (ii) any change, directly or indirectly, of the equity or ownership interests of Developer or any Transferee which individually or cumula tively with prior changes does not result in a change in C ontrol of Developer or Transferee; and (iii) any transfer of land or improvements to the City or the City’s designee or to non-profits approved by City in satisfaction of obligations under this Agreement or the Approvals. With respect to clause (ii) above, if Developer or a Transferee is a publicly traded company, then a sale or transfer of shares in such company shall not be deemed a change in Control of Developer or such Transferee. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.1.1 but subject to Article 11 below , if any such transaction includes the transfer of rights and obligations under this Agreement and results in the transferee having a legal or equitable interest
54 in th e Propert y or a portion thereof, then Developer and the transferee shall enter into an Assignment and Assumption Agre ement as described herein above, provide a copy of such agreement to the City, and such transaction described in this Section 10.1.1 shall be treated as a “Transfer” under this Agreement and the transferee with respect thereto be a treated as a “Transferee”.
10.2 Notice of Transfer; Assignment and Assumption Agreement . Developer shall provide not less than thirty (30) days' notice to the City before any proposed Transfer of its interests, rights, and obligations under this Agreement, together with a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement for the applicable parcel or parcels (“Assignment and Assumption Agreement”); if the Transfer requires City’s consent under the terms of this Agreement, City shall grant or withhold its consent in accordance with this Article 10 no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of Developer’s notice and supporting documentation deemed adequate by City in its reasonable discretion. The parties to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall use Good Faith Efforts to coordinate with City (including City’s attendance at meetings) to address in detail whether and how each obligation and right set forth in this Agreement shall be divided, allocated, assigned or otherwise Transferred, in whole or in part, between Developer and a Transferee so as to avoid later confusion regarding what obligations and rights have and have not been Transferred.
Developer shall reimburse C ity for City’s costs of coordination with the Developer and each potential Transferee, whether or not the coordination results in a T ransfer. Where a transfer of a portion of the Property has been completed, Developer and said Transferee shall be jointly a nd severally liable and obligated to City to fulfill any duty or obligation under this Agreement (and under the other Approvals) where Developer and a Transferee do not agree as to which party is responsible (between Developer or a Transferee) for fulfilli ng or performing a duty or obligation under an Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Where a Transfer of a portion of the Property has been completed but City has not received an Assignment and Assumption Agreement that transfers a particular duty or obliga tion under this Agreement or under the other Approvals in question, then, notwithstanding the foregoing, City shall have the right to look to Developer (i.e., the assignor), and such Developer shall remain liable and obligated to City to fulfill those duti es or obligations under this Agreement. The Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall be in recordable form, in substantially the form attached as Exhibit L (including the indemnifications, the agreement and covenant not to challenge the enforceability of this Agreement, and not to sue the City for disputes between Developer and any Transferee) and any material changes to the attached form will be subject to the review and approval of the City Manager and City Attorney, not to be unreasonably withheld , conditioned or delayed. City shall administer the provisions of Section 10.1 and this Section 10.2 through the City Manager; provided, however that nothing shall preclude the City Manager from requesting the City Council’s consent to any transfer that requires City’s consent as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
10.3 Release of Liability . Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2 above, u pon recordation of any Assignment and Assumption Agreement (following the City's approval of any material changes thereto), the assignor shall be released from any prospective liability or obligation under this Agreement related to the Transferred Property, except for obligations retained by the assignor as specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and the assignee/Transferee shall be deemed to be “Developer” under this Agreement with all rights and obligations related thereto with respec t to the Transferred Property. If a Transferee Defaults under this Agreement, such default shall not constitute a Default by the assignor Developer or any other Transferee with
55 respect to any other portion of the Property and shall not entitle the City to terminate or modify this Agreement with respect to such other portion of the Property.
10.4 Responsibility for Performance. City is entitled to enforce each and every such obligation assumed by each Transferee directly against the Transferee as if the Transferee were an original signatory to this Agreement with respect to such obligation. Accordingly, in any action by the City against a Transferee to enforce an obligation assumed by the Transferee, the Transferee shall not assert as a defense against the City's enforcement of performance of such obligation that such obligation (i) is attributable to Developer's breach of any duty or obligation to the Transferee arising out of the Transfer or the Assignment and Assumption Agreement or any other agreement or transaction between Developer and the Transferee, including any obligation retained by Developer to provide land for Affordable Housing Sites or parks within the applicable Phase, or (ii) relates to the period before the Transfer. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Parties acknowledge and agree that a failure to Complete a Mitigation Measure, comply with the BMR Alternative Mitigation for affordable housing, provide land for Parks or construct POPA Open Space may, if not Completed, delay or prevent another Transferee or Developer Party’s ability to start or Complete a specific Building or improvement under this Agreement if and to the e xtent the Completion of the Mitigation Measure, the affordable housing, or Completion of the Parks and POPA Open Spaces is a condition to the other Party's right to proceed, as specifically described in the Mitigation Measure, the Approvals, the Affordable Housing Plan and/or Phasing Plan, and Developer and all Transferees assume this risk.
10.5 Constructive Notice. For so long as this Deve lopment Agreement is in effect (i) every person or entity who now or hereafter owns or acquires any right, title, or interest in or to any portion of the Property is, and shall be, constructively deemed to have consented to every provision contained herein, whether or not any reference to this Agreement is contained in the instrument by which such person acquired an interest in the Property , and (ii) e very person or entity who now or hereafter owns or acquires any right, title, or interest in or to any portion of the Property and undertakes any development activities at the Property, is, and shall be, constructively deemed to have consented and agreed to, and is obligated by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (as such terms and conditions apply to the Property or applicable portion thereof), whether or not any reference to this Agreement is contained in the instrument by which such person acquired an interest in the Property.

59 12.5 Section Headings. Article and Section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not intended to be used in interpreting or construing the terms, covenants, or conditions of this Agreement.
12.6 Entire Agreement . This Agreement, includ ing the Recitals and the exhibits attached to this Agreement, each of which is incorporated herein by reference, constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. The exhibits are listed in the Agreement Table of Contents.
12.7 Estoppel Certificate. Either Party may, at any time, and from time to time, deliver written notice to the other Party requesting such Party to certify in writing that, to the knowledge of the certifying Party: (a) this Agreement is in full force and effect and a binding obligation of the Parties; (b) this Agreement has not been amended or modified orally or in writing, and, if so amended, identifying the amendments; (c) the requesting Party is not subject to an uncured breach or in default in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, or if in breach or default, to describe therein the nature and amount of any such breaches or defaults; and (d) any other matter reasonably requested by the requesting Party, including the findings of the City with respect to the most recent annual review performed pursuant to Section 8.1 of this Agreement .

12.8 Statement of Intention . Because the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo, 37 Cal.3d 465 (1984), that the failure of the parties therein to provide for the timing of development resulted in a later adopted initiative restricting the timing of development and controlling the parties’ agreement, it is the intent of City and Developer to hereby acknowledge and provide for the right of Developer to develop the Project in such order and at such rate and times as Developer deems appropriate within the exercise of its sole and subjective business judgment, subject to the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation phasing and timing requir ements specified for Required Exactions, Community Benefits, Public Benefits and public improvements) .

12.9 Indemnification and Hold Harmless . Developer shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to City) , and hold harmless City and its elected and appointed officials, boards, commissions, officers, employees, contractors, agents, and representatives (individually, a “City Party” and, collectively, “City Parties”) from and against any and all third party liabilities, obligations, orders, claims, damages, fines, penalties and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and costs (collectively, “ Claims”), including Claims for any bodily injury, death, or property damage, arising during the Term , directly or indirectly from the development,

This Section 12.9 includes any and all present and future Claims arising out of or in any way connected with Developer’s or its contractors’ or subcontractor’s obligations to comply with the requirements of the Prevailing Wage Laws, including any and all Claims that may be asserted by contractors, subcontractors, or other third -party claimants pursuant to California Labor Code Sections 1726 and 1781. Developer’s obligations under this Section 12.9 with re spect to any Claims accruing during the Term of this Agreement shall survive expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
12.10 Defense and Cooperation in the Event of a Litigation Challenge.
12.10.1 Cooperation. City and Developer shall cooperate in the defense of any claim, action, or court proceeding instituted by a third party or other governmental entity or official seeking to attack, set aside, void, annul, or otherwise challenge City’s review, processing, consideration and/or approval of this Agreement, the Approvals, or any related decision, including the processing or adoption of any environmental documents or determinations under CEQA, which relate to the Approvals, or challenging the validity of any provision of this Agree ment or the Approvals (“ Litigation Challenge ”), and the Parties shall keep each other informed of all developments relating to such defense, subject only to confidentiality requirements that may prevent the communication of such information.

City may elect to retain separate counsel to monitor Developer’s defense of the Litigation Challenge at Developer’s expense. City shall have the right to approve all significant decisions concerning the manner in which defense of the Litigation Challenge is co nducted, and to approve any and all settlements, all such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Per Government Code Section 66474.9, City shall promptly notify Developer of any proceeding thereunder. The Parties shall affirmati vely cooperate in defending the Litigation Challenge and shall execute a joint defense and confidentiality agreement in order to share and protect information under the joint defense privilege recognized under Applicable Law.
12.10.2 Indemnification. Developer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City Parties from any and all Claims, including cost awards and attorneys’ fees awarded under Code of Civil Procedure Section 1021.5, assessed or awarded against City by way of judgment, settlement, or stipulation, and any costs, expenses, reasonable attorneys’ fees, or expert witness fees that may be asserted or incurred by the City Parties, arising out of or in connection with a Litigation Challenge. Any proposed settlement of a Litigation Challenge shall be subject to City’s and Developer’s approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed . The

SMALL BUSINESS DIVERSIFICATION AND
NON-PROFIT INCLUSION PROGRAM
I. PROGRAM OUTLINE
(A) Intent
The Middlefield Park Small Business Diversification & Non -Profit Inclusion Program, or “Program”, seeks to encourage, welc ome and assist local businesses owned by women and individuals from underserved backgrounds in order to enhance local economic vitality in and around the Middlefield Park Master Plan (Master Plan) and East Whisman, as well as support businesses who hire women and people of color as employees. The Program also seeks to create opportunities for nonprofits and community uses to provide key community resources, services, and places that foster strong social bonds and contribute to a better quality of life for M ountain View residents. A diverse range of groups can help enrich the character of this new community, from grocers to restaurateurs, community centers and daycares, and aspirational spaces such as art studios, or practical spaces such as a consumer goods repair shop. Overall, the Program is designed to provide tailored support by the Developer representing approximately $18.6 million of value to the community. xi The purpose of this document is to provide a Program framework to be implemented by the Developer or assignee, for the duration of the Development Agreement (DA).
The Developer will identify specific partners, the businesses or nonprofits served, and the size of the individual tenant spaces throughout the Program and build-out of the Master Plan.
(B) Principles
The Developer will operate the Program under four principles:
1. Support city goals and East Whisman vision. The Program will respond to and align with the City of Mountain View’s (City) citywide goals and ambitions to create a welcoming, inclusive and sustainable neighborhood and small business community. As a part of this, the Program will support small businesses and nonprofits by helping to fund a portion of their capital and operating costs, as well as provide business development support. The Program aligns with the City’s interest in ‘people -centric’ community benefits, specifically by retaining and growing small businesses through the construction of subsidized space and offering of rent relief. More particularly, this Program aligns with the East Whisman Precise Plan (EWPP) vision, which calls for increasing the area’s livability and sustainability by creating active, inviting street life and support for small businesses (EWPP page 36).
2. Create pathways to market. The Program will incubate and grow small, local businesses owned by women and individuals from underserved backgrounds, as well as emerging small businesses and nonprofits, by providing direct support and new opportunities to come
xi The value of the community benefit program must be equivalent to the adopted fee, which is subject to an annual escalator per Exhibit I.
Exhibit J Page 2
to market that may not otherwise be available to these groups. The Program also supports businesses that hire women and people of color.
3. Foster sustainable community partners. The Program will provide tools and resources to help new businesses find their footing and then mature. The goal is for participating groups to become self -sustaining and find stable locations in or around Middlefield Park and greater Mountain View.
4. Respond to current and future community needs. The Program will seek out businesses and nonprofits that help meet the daily needs of current, future and nearby communities, particularly in areas where those needs are currently unmet. This will help bridge gaps that prevent small businesses and nonprofits from thriving and serving their neighbors.
(C) Tools and Resources
To support its principles, the Program establishes a number of tools and resources for participating groups, including:
1. Quality storefront and Ellis Community Pavilion space. Participating Groups will typically have leases on Subsidized Active Use Space in Middlefield Park. Located on active plazas and parks, the location itself is the foremost resource. Participating Groups will have frontage onto richly designed and programmed publ ic spaces within the mixed- use community, with thousands of people living or working in the immediate vicinity.
People will also be able to easily visit by light rail, bus, bike, or other transportation options delivered within or adjacent to the master plan. The location of each Participating Group’s tenant space will be determined by the Developer as each development phase of the Master Plan is constructed and leased out. The minimum targeted amount of space available is 22,000 gross square feet of Subsidized Active Use Space, which includes an approximately 1,000 square foot Ellis Community Pavilion space located in the POPA Open Space.
Note: Consistent with the EWPP, there is a minimum of 5,000 square feet of ground floor commercial space that is requi red to be delivered in the vicinity of Ellis Street and East Middlefield Road; that Active Use Space is excluded from this Program.
2. Capped rents. Storefront rents will initially be capped at $35 per square foot per year, on a Triple Net basis, on average. For the life of the Program, rents will escalate annually with the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This creates real dollar savings for small businesses and nonprofits and also removes the risk of unexpected rent increases over the life of the Program, he lping them to become self -sustaining. Any rental fees for the Ellis Park Community Pavilion will be minimal and would be assessed only to recover ongoing operations, maintenance and management costs.
3. No cost initial space core and shell. The design and construction costs of the core and shell portion of the 21,000 gross square feet and the 1,000 gross square foot Ellis Community Pavilion will be funded solely by the Developer. This scope of work includes the superstructure, its shell, mechanical, electr ical, and plumbing (MEP) work, a warm
Exhibit J Page 3
shell level of interior finish, and exterior landscaping, and includes contingency. It includes back of house space such as corridors, trash rooms, loading docks and utility rooms, some of which may be shared with the residential uses, as wel l as leasable storefront areas. It also includes payment of any required City development fees, such as impact fees, associated with the superstructure. The parking for the tenant space as required by Subsequent Approvals will also be constr ucted at the Developer’s cost. Since these costs are carried by the Developer, the Participating Groups will not be required to raise capital for these costs.
4. Tenant improvement funding. The Developer will provide an allowance (up to $125 per gross square foot, escalated annually with CPI) to fund a portion of Tenant Improvements, to help bridge some of the financial gaps in bringing a small business or nonprofit’s vision to life.
5. Soft costs. The Developer will provide funding for a portion of the soft costs related to starting up a new small business or nonprofit, including design fees, permitting fees, certain legal costs, insurance costs, taxes, mark eting and Program operations. Implementing the Program is likely a decade -plus endeavor and comes with a number of operational and overhead costs . The Developer will incur and pay for a portion of these costs as the Program develops to ensure that the value to small businesses, nonprofits and the larger community is realized.
6. Additional support funding. In order to support other needs and bridge gaps that may not be anticipated today, the Program also establishes a substantial support fund of approximately $3.1 million dollars, from which funds can be given from time to time to small businesses and nonprofits that operate within the master pla n area and over the life of the Program. These are dollars that directly benefit the groups in the Program, and directly contribute to their success. For example, these support funds could be used to, but are not limited to:
a. provide further rent subsidies,
b. enhance capital improvements,
c. cover other business or non-profit expenses,
d. fund occupancy soft and hard costs for second and third generation tenants in each space,
e. fund real -time support in the form of small business se rvices coordination as requested by the participating group (up to a limit to be defined by the Program during the Support stage of Implementation), or
f. further support on -going subsidies for the Ellis Community Pavilion, where minimal rental fees may be as sessed only to recover ongoing operations, maintenance and management costs. The management team will handle all reservation requests and maintain an event calendar.
Some benefits could be delivered through a partnership with an existing community group.
The Developer will manage applications and awarding of these additional support funding dollars.

Upon the date that either the business or
Exhibit J Page 6
Developer gives notice that they do not intend to renew the lease, the Program would repeat the Initial and Secondary Outreach processes, with the intent to establish a Qualified Business in the space without having a prolonged vacancy. In the event of an unexpected vacancy, the Initial and Secondary Outreach processes would only be performed at the sole discretion of the Developer. If two or more Qualified Businesses have applied under the above criteria for a single space, the Developer shall select the successful entity in its sole discretion. In the event of a prolonged vacancy (more than 3 months), where the Initial and Secondary Ou treach processes do not result in a Qualified Business after multiple attempts, the Developer may choose to remove the space from the Program and pay the equivalent Community Benefit fee for that tenant space to meet the project obligation, at which point the tenant space can be utilized by any business entity per the Master Plan and zoning requirements.
(E) Implementation
The Developer will implement the Program in five stages: Initiation, Planning, Execution, Support, and Dissolution, with each phase c orresponding to the overall master plan development phasing.
This means that the Program may be in the Execution stage for the first phase of the Master Plan while it is only in the Planning stage for the third phase of the Master Plan. Implementation will begin upon approval of the first phase of City permit entitlements.
Stage 1: Initiation
In the initiation stage, the Developer will formally establish the Program and develop the tools and resources it will need to provide value to the community. This wo rk will include, but may not be limited to:
a. Establish Program governance and management structure b. Create Program charter and goals
c. Explore partnerships with local organizations that provide small business and nonprofits training and support
Stage 2: Planning
In the Planning stage, the Program will identify needs and opportunities in the community that may be addressed in a particular phase of the Master Plan. This work will include, but may not be limited to:
a. Identify local business needs and networks
b. Perform sub-market gaps analysis to identify optimal services c. Refine or shift program offerings to best support businesses d. Leverage networks to identify potential existing businesses in East Whisman, greater Mountain View, and Sunnyvale, and then beyond to South Bay/Peninsula e. Survey existing, eligible small businesses to better understand their growth goals and space needs and leverage this data to inform eligible businesses of the opportunity. f. Compile an initial list of potential small businesses and nonprofits to be targeted g. Develop an outreach strategy to inform potentially eligible small businesses and nonprofits of the Program opportunity
h. Draft Covenants, Codes, & Restrictions (CC&R’s) and other governance documents, including program eligibility verification process and metrics
Exhibit J Page 7
Stage 3: Execution
In the Execution stage, the Program will identify specific Qualified Businesses to fill ground floor spaces (storefronts) within a particular development phase of the Master Plan. This work will include, but may not be limited to:
a. Leverage research done in Planning stage
b. Commence Outreach period no later than 12 months after the commencement of construction on the building where the ground floor space has been identified i. Initial Outreach period of 6 months
ii. Secondary Outreach period of 6 months
c. Communicate qualification criteria as defined herein i. Final decision on all selections is at the sole discretion of the Developer in accordance with the Program
d. Interview and perform eligibility verification checks on potential Participating Groups e. As needed, sign Letters of Intent
f. Award initial Participating Groups with support funds and agreements g. Sign Funding Agreements and execute leases (which must include reference to the Program duration and dissolution process)
h. Coordinate funding disbursements, tenant fit-out, marketing, etc. i. Identify and refresh roster of potential businesses
In the Execution stage, the Program will establish a reservation system for the Ellis Community Pavilion in the POPA Open Space in the development phase where the space is constructed.
Stage 4: Support
In the Support stage, Program representatives periodically engage Participating Groups, offering tailored assistance and guidance, and also monitor their growth in order to better understand and serve their evolving needs. This work will include, but may not be limited to:
a. Conduct regular business reviews with each tenant
b. Perform ongoing support per agreements, such as activation, marketing and operations support
c. Track tenant success and lessons learned over time
d. Annually review overall program success, project outcomes and lessons learned e. Adapt support program as needed to amplify small business support and community benefit
Stage 5: Dissolution
When the DA is 6 months from its termination date, the dissolution process will be initiated. This process is intended to provide a conclusion to the Program allowing the Developer to remove all support tools and resources to the Participating Groups with advance notice. All current Participating Groups will be given 90 days written notice when the dissolution process has been initiated, which will include noticing Participating Groups that their capped rents will end at the conclusion of their current lease term, not prior. The Program will evaluate whether each tenant may be signed to a new lease, and if not, and as requested, provide support in seeking a new space in the area.
Exhibit J Page 8
(F) Monitoring
As part of the Annual Review described in the Development Agreement, the Developer shall submit a summary of the Program’s activities in the reporting year, including: (a) a list of all Program participants by business name and location; (b) reporting on funds expended on the key functions of the program in the prior year and cumulatively since incept ion; (c) the delivery of constructed building space, in lieu of providing construction costs estimates that change over time, (d) a description of all the tools and resources disbursed to the Program participants; (e) a summary of the growth and developmen t of the Program’s participants since the prior Annual Review period; and (f) any updates or modifications proposed to the Program.

Such a group would need to demonstrate its alignment with the Program Principles, such as through a commitment to hiring and/or contracting practices that align with the Program’s qualification criteria, bridging gaps in community needs, or other examples. The Developer, in its sole discretion, shall determine if a group qualifies as an Interim Participating Group. This group is permitted to occupy a tenant space only after the Initial and Secondary Outreach processes have been completed without success in finding a Participating Group.
“Participating Group ” is any business or nonprofit which has entered into a lease under t he Program. They are considered current Participating Groups so long as their lease is in effect and the Dissolution Process is not yet complete. Notwithstanding this, for the purpose of the additional support funding, a business or nonprofit may be considered a Participating Group if they are active in the City with preference given to groups active in the East Whisman Precise Plan area.
“Middlefield Park Small Business Diversification & Non-Profit Inclusion Program”, “Small Business Program”, or “Program” consists of a set of tools and resources as further described in this document, which will benefit the East Whisman community and be credited towards Middlefield Park’s Community Benefits requirement. Generally, it consists of a set of subsidies and add itional, flexible support dollars, totaling approximately $18.6 million in value to the community. Roughly $3.1 million of support funding, administered by Developer, would be used to offset occupancy costs of the organizations occupying space within the Active Use component of the Project, or to provide other assistance consistent with Project objectives. It could also be used to fund soft and hard occupancy costs for second and third generation tenants in each space.
The approximately $15.5 million total subsidy value is realized through the provision of 1,000 gross square feet of Ellis Community Pavilion and 21,000 square feet of Active Use floor space at maximum rental rate along with other incentives provided to tenants.
"Qualified Business” is any business or nonprofit that meets the minimum qualifications to be a Participating Group, but for which the Developer has not determined is a Participating Group.
“Triple Net Lease” is a lease agreement where the tenant pays all the expenses of the property, including real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance, in addition to the cost of rent and utilities.

Termination requires removal of the district system infrastructure for the discontinued service in the public right-of-way and on City-owned property, at no cost to the City; provided, City in its sole discretion may allow some or all of the district system improvements to remain in place. The public right -of- way and City property shall be restored to the same finished condition as exist s immediately prior to removal.

Exhibit N Page 4
allowed by Applicable Law, not unreasonably interfere with Developer’s district systems improvements, except where Developer reasonably agrees to such interference.
• Interface with Future Bridge – The Developer retained an engineering design firm to prepare a conceptual study for a proposed above-ground pedestrian-bicycle bridge to cross the VTA light rail corridor located on Parcels Park 1 and 2 as shown on the Vesting Tentative Map, entitled “Structure Conceptual Design Memorandum - East Whisman / Bicycle Pedestrian Overcrossing” by Biggs Cardosa Associates, dated September 13, 2022 and on file with the City. The study confirmed whether the proposed Bridge Open Space site is adequate in size and could reasonably accommodate a utility encroachment for a District Utility System serving the Project in tandem with future bridge infrastructure, in accordance with current VTA and accessibility requirements. As described in Section 5.3.3 of the Development Agreement, the design of the bridge and structural configuration are not known at this time. The City will make Good Faith Efforts during the bridge design process to minimize adverse impacts on the Project and district system improvements and collaboratively work with Developer to a ddress any potential conflicts. However, the district systems shall not materially limit the use of City property nor limit, interfere with, or prevent the City’s development of a future above -grade bicycle and pedestrian bridge over the VTA light rail tracks.
• Maintenance/Repair – Developer shall, at all times, maintain the area(s) of the encroachment in safe condition and good appearance to the reasonable satisfaction of City’s Public Works Direct or. Any repair or maintenance that requires disrupting the encroachment area(s) (e.g. dig out and repair) requires submittal and approval of an Excavation Permit.
• Removal and Relocation of Sites – Upon receiving written notification from the City, Developer shall remove or relocate, without cost or expense to City, any district systems infrastructure installed, used, and maintained under the MEA or subsequent Excavation Permits within a given portion of the public right-of-way or City-owned land if the City or a regional, county, state or federal governmental agency determines to use the right-of-way or City-owned land for a public purpose, or the installation is declared unlawful by a court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of the MEA or any subsequent Excavation Permit authorized under the MEA, the following shall not constitute a “public purpose” that would merit removal or relocation of any district systems infrastructure: (1) subsequent encroachments proposed by private property development projec ts, whether below, at or above-grade; or (2) subsequent subsurface private or franchised utility infrastructure, unless required by a franchise agreement or otherwise authorized by State or Federal agencies, or Applicable Law. Removal and any associated re storation of the right-of-way or City-owned land shall be completed within 180 days of City’s notification, or a longer period that may be determined by the Public Works Director in his or her reasonable discretion subject to time limits that may be i mposed by the new required use. City will include the evaluation of any proposed alternative location(s) for district systems infrastructure necessitated by this removal as part of the City’s environmental analysis for other planned improvements, if any such environmental analysis is required.

• Comply with Applicable Laws – Developer and the district system must comply with all Applicable Laws.
• Assignments – Developer may assign the district system improvements and associated rights and obligations in the MEA as follows:
o Assignment and Assumption Agreement : Any Assignment will require execution of an “Assignment and Assumption Agreement” which evidences that the assignee has assumed all rights and obligations of the assignor pertaining to the district system an d the District Systems Transactional Documents (defined in the Implementation Plan). No Assignment shall be effective until the assignor or assignee provides an executed copy of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Public Works Director. Developer may not partially assign the MEA.

Any such assignments other than to a master commercial association as described in the preceding clause (vi) would not require City's consent but would require thirty (30) days prior written notice to City of such assignment; if a third-party assignee as described in the preceding clause (v) is to be an operator of the district system, then written notice to the City must also include documentation that the assignee meets minimum Qualified Operator service requirements. Any assignment of permits or other regulatory obligations under federal, state, regional, or local laws must be in compliance with these laws and any other agency requirements.
